The Yellow Wallpaper
by Charlotte Perkins Gilman
In "The Yellow Wallpaper" what is the message regarding John fainting.
mwestwood, M.A.
M.A. from The University of Alabama
Top subjects are Literature, History, and Social Sciences
Throughout Charlotte Perkins Gilman "The Yellow Wallpaper" the reader comes to understand that much of the failure of the treatment of the unnamed narrator's "nervous condition" is due to the Victorian society in which she is held captive by the common law doctrine of femme covert [French for covered, (hidden) woman/wife]. Under this law the husband had virtually total control of his wife's life. Thus, in every aspect of her marriage, the wife was repressed in this patriarchal society. Added to this, was the prevailing wisdom of Dr. Weir Mitchell who contended that "post-partum depression" was a myth, and the real condition was only nerves. For this condition, Mitchell believed in total rest without any mental of physical activity. And, the narrator's husband John concurs completely with this diagnosis.
So, whenever the narrator pleas with him to allow her to go into the garden, or to have a window open, John refuses. Compounding this problem, the narrator, made submissive by her repressed social condition, begins to criticize herself,
I get unreasonably angry with John sometimes. I'm sure I never used to be so sensitive. I think it is due to this nervous condition.
But John says if I feel so shall neglect proper self-control; so I take pains to control myself--before him, at least, and that makes me tired.
I don't like our room a bit. I wanted one downstairs that opened on the piazza and had roses all over the window, and such pretty old-fashioned chintz hangings! But John would not hear of it.
With her husband's domination, the deprivation of anything aesthetic and pleasing, as well as the loss of socialization, the narrator focuses upon "the hideous wallpaper. Aesthetically repulsed by the lack of symmetry--"I never saw a worse paper in my life--and the "lurid orange and sickly sulphur tint" of its color, the narrator begins to obsess on this wall covering from which she can find no relief. Her concerns then turn inward and she feels that she is "a comparative burden already" to her husband.
Gradually, however, the narrator, a creative, intelligent woman whose talents are depreciated by her repressive husband and who is denied "stimulating people" whom she needs, focuses so intently upon the wallpaper that she imagines exerts "a vicious influence" upon her. This, then, causes her to feel a sense of antagonism, "impertinence" in the paper with its "unblinking eyes" that are ubiquitous. From this vision then emanates a "strange, provoking, formless sort of figure" that seeks to be freed from the horizontal bars of the yellow wallpaper. The narrator initially fears this woman, who is really her emerging sense of self. In her submissiveness, she wishes "John would take me away from here!"
When she voices her anxiety to her husband, he tells her not to think about it. More and more she feels trapped until she must free this woman she is behind the bars of the paper. However, instead of freeing her, the narrator's sense of self enters the wallpaper and is irrevocably trapped. When her husband knocks, she ignores him, for she is no longer outside the insanity of the paper. When he breaks down the door, John finds his wife crawling along the baseboard, mentally lost. As she creeps along the baseboard, he perceives her insanity for which he is responsible and faints. Of course, she does not understand why, and simply continues "to creep over him every time!"

Rochester Man Sentenced For Heroin Conspiracy
ROCHESTER, N.Y. - U.S. Attorney James P. Kennedy, Jr. announced today that Daiquan Hill, 25, of Rochester, NY, who was convicted of conspiracy to distribute heroin, was sentenced to serve 57 months in prison by U.S. District Judge David G. Larimer.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Cassie Kocher, who handled the case, stated that between January 2018 and June 14, 2018, the defendant conspired with others to distribute heroin. In furtherance of the conspiracy, Hill distributed quantities of heroin to customers and also directed others as to when, where, and how much narcotics to deliver to customers.
On June 14, 2018, law enforcement officers executed a search warrant at the defendant's residence on Grafton Street in Rochester. They recovered approximately 38 grams of heroin and items used for the packaging and distribution of illegal narcotics for street-level distribution, including scales and baggies.
The sentencing is the result of an investigation by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, under the direction of Special Agent-in-Charge John B. Devito; the Rochester Police Department, under the direction of Chief La'Ron Singletary; U.S. Border Patrol, under the direction of Patrol Agent in Charge Jeffrey Wilson; the Federal Bureau of Investigation, under the direction of Special Agent-in-Charge Gary Loeffert; and the Drug Enforcement Administration, under the direction of Special Agent-in-Charge Ray Donovan, New York Field Division.


The MyPlate standard shows the essential nutrients individuals should consume every day. This includes protein, vegetables, fruits, dairy and grains. Individuals should also avoid foods with high-fat and high sugar contents. Fruits and vegetables low on sugar and fat are a great alternative to sweets and other high sugar foods. Vegetables include lettuce, carrots, and potatoes. Fruits include apples, grapes, watermelons, blueberries and peaches. Grains have three categories of foods: whole grains, refined grains and pastas. Whole grains are considered foods like brown rice, oatmeal, bread and popcorn. Refined grains are white bread, white rice, pretzels and grits. Spaghetti, macaroni, linguine, and bow ties are some pastas that can be included in a balanced diet. Dairy consists of milk, cheese and yogurt. Protein that can be included in a balanced diet is lean meat, poultry, seafood, beans, peas, nuts, and seeds. All of these food groups should be included in meals throughout the day and do not have to be stuffed into one meal.
Prior to arriving at the grocery store, make an accurate list of all the items needed and do not defer from the list. Search for the best deals using store ads which will often include coupons to use in store. Store brands are often less expensive and are just as tasty. Comparing various brands for the best deal will get you the most amount of food for the least amount of money. Buy foods with a later 'sell by' date as they will stay fresh longer.
The key to shopping smart is getting products in bigger sizes and with later 'sell by' dates to have food supplies for longer. Frozen bags of vegetables and heads of lettuce stay fresher longer opposed to pre-bagged salad mixes. Canned fruits or fresh fruits at a farmer's market are often less expensive and have a longer shelf life. Dairy products should be bought in large sizes that will be realistically used in the household prior to the expiration date. Meats should be bought when on sale and if possible in large quantities and should be frozen to preserve freshness. Instead of instant rice ad oatmeal look for regular rice and oatmeal which are known to have less calories and sugar and will also cost less.

Filed under: Commentary/Reviews, Editorials. Location: United States of America.
Over the years, PLN has frequently reported on the efforts of legislators and prisoncrats to seize money from prisoners, the vast majority of whom are poor. This trend has sharply accelerated in recent years. The cover story of this issue of PLN is excerpted from the recent PLN anthology, Prison Profiteers: Who Makes Money from Mass Incarceration, published earlier this year by the New Press. The book is available from PLN and documents the growing practice of further impoverishing and penalizing those enmeshed in the criminal justice system. Kristen Levingston does a great job showing how these efforts to further immiserate the poor only make a bad situation worse. If you like this article I hope you consider reading the entire book, it?s well worth the read as we show who?s benefitting from policies of mass imprisonment. Not just who is harmed. Prison Profiteers is available from PLN and fine book sellers everywhere. Only PLN has the paperback edition at this time.
I would like to thank everyone who donated to PLN?s annual fundraiser this year. We extended it to the end of March as our mailing was delayed going out. I will report the outcome in next month?s editorial once we have added up the results. All support, whether large or small, is much needed and appreciated. Prisoner readers who have not yet returned their surveys should do so as soon as possible so we can tabulate the results. We want to know what you think of PLN and how we can better serve your needs.
Among our goals for this year are expanding PLN?s size to bring readers even more news and information. But we want to make sure we can sustain it and not have to cut back in size. We are also working hard to expand our readership. The more subscribers PLN has the lower our per issue cost is. Between now and the end of July we are running our subscription madness sale. Buy gift subscriptions of PLN for non subscribers as an introductory offer and get low prices! It costs a lot of money and takes a lot of time to do sample mailings of PLN to potential subscribers. By letting readers buy introductory gift subscriptions for potential subscribers we pass the savings on. If there is someone you think might be interested in PLN, buy them a gift subscription and they can check us out. Potential subscribers include legislators, judges, journalists, family members, prisoners, pen pals, and anyone else interested in the criminal justice system in general and prisons in particular.
Expanding the number of advertisers we have is another way we can grow in size. If you patronize PLN advertisers, let them know you saw their ad in PLN.
Enjoy this issue of PLN and please encourage others to subscribe!

This past weekend I was busy marketing an aspect of my business at an event. It was a wellness show, where I was facilitating Bars. The Bars are 32 points on the head, that when lightly touched, begin the process of erasing your hard drive and creating space for more ease and joy in your life.
At the Langley Wellness Event, I had the joy of running Bars on a sweet four year old who was born with a number of significant challenges. Her mother had brought her, hoping to find something else, that might help her daughter.
Savanna was not too happy about being in this place. It turns out that she is a very aware little girl. She reads her mom's mind. I am sure that she felt and heard all the judgements and conclusions as people saw her. And the energy was quite intense in the event with all the healers that were present.
Her mom got her on my table and she did not want to be there. I began by talking with Savanna. I asked her what her favourite things to do were. She rides a therapy pony, called Ladybug, once a week. As I talked and asked questions, that her mom answered, her eyes turned to me. It was in that moment that I told her how perfect she was and what an amazing and smart little girl she was. I put my fingers on the first point and told her that she wasn't broken and there was nothing to fix. What a beautiful being you are Savanna and her eyes closed and she drifted off.
Her mom was surprised that she was so relaxed. While I ran the Bars she and I chatted. The experience was magical and full of grace. It would take too long to relay everything. Suffice to say I was left feeling like I had been blessed.
"And you were Linda. Anytime that two or more beings commune in the energy of love, unconditional love, there is a blessing. It is why being with your furry friends can be so joyful.
Each of you has the opportunity to create those moments in every encounter that you have during your day. When you are able to be out of judgment and see each other as we do-maginificent beings of light and love-then you are in love. This is not the love that planet earth has named-for that love is entangled with so many rules and conclusions, that you make it hard sometimes to feel it. But when you step out of judgment and allow yourself to be in gratitude for another, for their being then their being steps into that with you. It may be in a small way that if you don't pay attention, you will miss and it may be in a large way that blows your socks off!
The blessings are abundant on planet earth and each of you has the same need to be seen as not broken-perfect in the perceived imperfections. You are all playing at being human and some of you are very, very good at it. So good that you forget you are more than that.
You have the opportunity to remind others by seeing them, as we do and you will always be given the same gift along the way, someone who sees you as we do.
You are not alone on the journey you launched yourself on. You are not broken and there is nothing to be fixed.
We are in gratitude for each of you-are you?"


Olivatia recommends Nihil Prius, an Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) extracted only by mechanical procedures and without any type of chemical procedure.
Nihil Prius is made with 100% Cornicabra olives. This variety is famous for its nutritional qualities and contains a very high level of healthy fatty acids with a higher level of natural antioxidants than other varieties. The cornicabra extra virgin olive oil variety has more healthy attributes than other variety: polyphenols, tocopherols and oleocanthal.
It brings intensity, enhancing the flavour of food but without eclipsing its own flavour. Suitable to use straight from the bottle on toasted bread, pasta, canned fish and seafood, fresh fish rich in taste such as cod or salmon, red meats, or as a dressing for smoked fish and regular salads and in confectionery to make the best chocolates.
The health benefits of this EVOO are of a very high quality. It is maybe the best product for those who are concerned about consuming only the best. Nihil Prius has a careful and very elegant taste, which has been achieved thanks to early harvesting, rapid grinding and cold pressing.
Nihil Prius comes from Latin and means 'Nothing More'. It is the purity of the best EVOO and nothing else. This product has its origin in bicentennial olive trees, from which the best olives are extracted. This is the essence of our product.
The olives comes from the region of Los Navalmorales, in the Montes de Toledo, in Spain. This area with its dry and rigorous climate, cold winters and hot summers, is the ideal environment for these ancient olive groves.
The extra virgin olive oil Nihil Prius has a scent of a ripe fruity oil with traces of vegetables, reminiscent of the tomato. It has light aromas of banana and apple, and leaves a soft final after-taste of nuts.
In the mouth its bitter and spicy, with light values with the balanced attribute of the very best EVOOs. It acquires intensity when its mature flavours are exploited.
It is gold coloured as the product is filtered with cellulose. This is a respectful mechanical process that cleans the extra virgin olive oil without losing any of its healthy and beneficial properties.
Nihil Prius' label is inspired by an 'Art Nouveau' design, to convey a return to the classic, to the essence of things well done. On the label there is an image of a goddess that evokes olive oil as a source of abundance. The dark green bottle keeps the qualities of the EVOO and the gold cap reminds you that it contains a precious Golden liquid.

In the evening we went hiking in the quarried hills. We travelled a new path, an old stream bed that had dried out, tumbled with rocks and sheep droppings. We climbed up to where we could see the thin, silvery line of the sea on the horizon, various pockets of water glistening like dropped coins, and then back down again to where the little stream cut through the valley. The water level was low, the water itself ran red with iron and other minerals, the reason for the scarred nature of the landscape. It was easy to ford the stream. We crossed and then climbed up the steep cutting, climbing up rocks and slippery moss, gaining hand-holds on the heather and bilberry bushes. It is the kind of climb I have not done in some time, one which required my whole body, and it made me feel a kind of alive that I haven't experienced since my children were born, just me and my body pitted against the landscape, or not pitted against but a part of because in this way I am more part of the world than I ever am in my daily life, safely behind brick walls sitting on my manufactured sofa. Part way up I stop and look down and despite my vertigo, which would usually trigger right now, I feel nothing but exhilaration. I am high above the ground yet still on the ground, I am teetering on the edge and yet every step I take is as solid as the last and the next is just as solid as that. When I reach the top I am breathless, my arms ache and the wind whips the sweat on my face but it is marvellous to stand here, looking out towards the sea, the world's great greenness, its extraordinary beauty, laid out beneath my feet.

Small number of brands dominate underage drinking
By Alicia Samuels
/ Published March 2013
A relatively small number of alcohol brands dominate underage youth alcohol consumption, according to a new report from researchers at the Boston University School of Public Health and the Center on Alcohol Marketing and Youth at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.
The report, published online by Alcoholism: Clinical & Experimental Research, is the first national study to identify the alcohol brands consumed by underage youth, and has important implications for alcohol research and policy.
The top 25 brands accounted for nearly half of youth alcohol consumption. In contrast, adult consumption is nearly twice as widely spread among different brands. Close to 30 percent (27.9 percent) of the underage youth sampled reported drinking Bud Light within the past month, 17 percent had consumed Smirnoff malt beverages within the previous month, and 14.6 percent reported drinking Budweiser in the 30-day period. The list with rank, brand, and reported use in previous 30 days among underage youth is as follows:
Bud Light, 27.9 percent; 2. Smirnoff malt beverages, 17.0 percent; 3. Budweiser, 14.6 percent; 4. Smirnoff vodkas, 12.7 percent; 5. Coors Light, 12.7 percent; 6. Jack Daniel's bourbons, 11.4 percent; 7. Corona Extra, 11.3 percent; 8. Mike's, 10.8 percent; 9. Captain Morgan rums, 10.4 percent; and 10. Absolut vodkas, 10.1 percent.
Of the top 25 consumed brands, 12 were spirits brands (including four vodkas), nine were beers, and four were flavored alcohol beverages.
"For the first time, we know what brands of alcoholic beverages underage youth in the U.S. are drinking," says study author David Jernigan, director of the Center on Alcohol Marketing and Youth at the Bloomberg School. "Importantly, this report paves the way for subsequent studies to explore the association between exposure to alcohol advertising-and-marketing efforts and drinking behavior in young people."
Alcohol is responsible for 4,700 deaths per year among young people under the age of 21. More than 70 percent of high school students have consumed alcohol, and about 22 percent engage in heavy episodic drinking. At least 14 studies have found that the more young people are exposed to alcohol advertising and marketing, the more likely they are to drink, or if they are already drinking, to drink more.
The researchers surveyed 1,032 youth ages 13-20 via an Internet-based survey instrument. Respondents were asked about their past 30-day consumption of 898 brands of alcohol among 16 alcoholic beverage types, including the frequency and amount of each brand consumed.
"We now know, for the first time, what alcohol brands—and which companies—are profiting the most from the sale of their products to underage drinkers," says lead study author Michael Siegel, a professor of community health sciences at the Boston University School of Public Health. "The companies implicated by this study as the leading culprits in the problem of underage drinking need to take immediate action to reduce the appeal of their products to youth."
This research was supported by a grant from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism.

Welcome to my Web page. I hope this will help you get to know me because I believe finding a good fit with your doctor is key in establishing successful health care. I look forward to seeing many of you again and I welcome those of you who are new to my practice.
I'm originally from the Midwest. My family and I moved to California because of my father's failing health. Given the amount of time I spent around doctors and hospitals growing up, I guess I could have gone one of two ways: wanting to distance myself from medicine altogether, or wanting to become one of those who helps people. Obviously, I chose the latter, and I've always felt that it's the perfect fit for me. I love what I do and I hope it shows when I interact with you. Medicine is always changing, so every day is an adventure.
I knew even before I started medical school that I wanted to be an Ob/Gyn. I just felt an affinity for women's health care and it's a place that has felt right ever since. In my practice I do obstetric and gynecologic surgery, deliver babies, care for patients during their hospitalization, and have clinic office hours every week. I especially enjoy doing the teen obstetrics clinic and see many adolescents in my gynecology practice. I always ask myself, "What would I want for this person if she were my mother, my sister, or my child?" I hope I approach each person with respect and a willingness to listen. Keeping your best health interests in mind is what motivates me to be the best physician I can be.
Each day I have to remind myself to exercise, eat what's healthy, find something to smile about, acknowledge someone else's contributions, tell my loved ones that I love them, do my best at whatever I set out to do, and realize and be thankful for all that I have in life. Some days I'm more successful at this than others, but every day that I do these things I feel happier, healthier, and stronger.


While it is possible to purchase window screens that fit standard size windows, on occasion, you may wish to repair a window screen instead of replacing the entire unit. The reasons can be manifold. Perhaps you have window that is a non-standard size or shape. Maybe your window screen has a sturdy frame in great shape that fits the rest of your house. Or you only have a small damage to your screen and you are looking to fix a small area. Regardless of your reasons, if you always wanted to repair a window screen, but did not know how to go about it, the following guide will give you get you started.
Occasionally, you may notice a few mosquitoes and flies making their way into your home even though you have a screen in place on all your windows and doors. Usually these unwelcome guests arrive through small holes and punctures in your screens. Wind damage, rust, and aging can cause these small tears, but you do not need to replace the entire screen in order to fix them. There are a few methods you can choose from when it comes to fixing a small area. The first method is the easiest, as you can simply buy 3×3 inch patches that come with adhesive backing. These are usually made of fiberglass in different colors. After purchasing the patch, the only thing you need to pay attention to is covering the entire hole and if you wish, you can also use a pair of scissors to round the corners for a better fit. If your patch is in a visible place, you might find it irksome having to look at it all the time. It may also be difficult to find the right color match for your screen.
This method works great for larger or non-regular sized tears and punctures that can be caused by pressure such as your dog or cat jumping up on your screen. To stitch or weave a patch into the damaged area, you will need a piece of extra screen material. You may already have some on hand or can get the piece you need from a neighbor or surplus store. Once you have the material, cut out a patch that covers the damaged area and leave an additional ½ inches on each side. If you wish to proceed by stitching, you can use strands of the screen to weave the patch and the damaged area together. This is a great way to deal with irregularly shaped holes. If you want to fix a fairly regular hole or cut, you can take your patch and gently bend the edges over a rectangular or square object, such as a small box or a ruler. Once you created four sets of raised claws on the sides, hold your patch up to the screen, push the claws through the material, turn the screen around, and bend the claws until they are flat against the screen. This method will give you extra support to prevent the further spreading of the damage.
On occasion, it will be necessary to replace the entire screen. If you decide to do so, the first thing you will need to ascertain is the material of your screen's frame. Wooden frames can be repaired by using small tacks and nails, but for metal doors, you will need to use a special, but usually inexpensive, screening tool to achieve the best results. In both cases, you will first need to remove the old screen and purchase the new screen material. For wooden doors, gently pry staples and nails holding down the screen material off the frame with the help of a flat screwdriver. Sometimes, you may even need to remove a few small screws, so having a drill or a multi-bit screwdriver on hand would not be amiss.
For metal doors, you can remove the old spline with an awl, which will release the screen, according to Family Handyman. Roll out the new screen on top of the opening and cut out the shape you need by leaving 3 inches extra on each side. For wooden frames, use tacks, staples, and nails to attach the new material to the sides then trim off the extra. For metal doors, use the conclave screening tool to push the fabric and the new spline into the groove. Make sure you do not overtighten the screen as this can cause tearing and weakening of the material. Putting a heavy object such as your hammer or a few books in the middle of the screen while you are securing the material to the frame will give you just the right amount of slack.
Keeping all your window screens in good shape will go a long way in helping you enjoy both your home and your everyday life. Nobody likes hunting for mosquitoes in the middle of the night and finding flies in in their dinner. This can be prevented by taking a few minutes to examine and repair a window screen, and once you have the tools and material on hand, it will only take a few minutes of your time.

Toni Braxton's Ex-Husband Breaks Silence, Addresses Being Called a 'B-tch' For Taking Alimony Payments
"Men are the new b-tches."
That's what Toni Braxton said when she had a discussion about divorce with Jada Pinkett Smith and Jada's mom Adrienne Banfield Jones on "Red Table Talk." She uttered those words after revealing that she had to pay her ex-husband Keri Lewis alimony, and he responded in a recent Instagram message.
"Yes. I had to pay alimony," Toni told Jada and her mom. "I was one of those girls … I was very, very angry about that. But it was because we had an existing prenup and post-nup. I wanted to renege; I'm going to be honest … I went through this whole phase, 'Ooo men are the new bitches.' That's how I felt."
But Keri said he never wanted his ex's money, and when a prenup was set up by her legal team he never got a lawyer to follow up.
"In light of my ex-wife's comments on '@RedTabletalk' regarding our divorce, men receiving alimony from women, I feel the need to address and shed light on the matter, as the impression is being made that I came for her finances and or wasn't there for Toni," wrote Keri.
"Let me start by saying that I really loved Toni … In addition, when she became ill, I did everything I could to take care of her," he added. "To give insight to the alimony payments, Toni's attorney's suggested she have a prenuptial agreement put in place prior to our wedding, and they drafted one as they saw fit."
"Because of my love for her and being optimistic of marriage lasting forever, I didn't feel the need to have an attorney, as I wasn't going to contest anything in the prenup," "Fast-forward to 2012 after separating, I moved out and at some point later, Toni mentioned to me that the payments set in the prenup would start being deposited into my account. I received alimony for around three years between 2012 and 2014," Keri went on.
The Mint Condition crooner then addressed the whole "b-tches" comment and said he was bothered by that the most.
"In addition, while I often did not agree with the creative liberties that were taken in representing our relationship (Toni's Book, Lifetime movie, 'Braxton Family Values,' 'RedTableTalk),' we are raising two sons and it can never be to the degree of her referencing me as a bitch.. That's a problem."
At this time, Toni hasn't responded.

WorldFest 2014 at Venice Theatre, Part 2
Live theater is an experience that cannot be replicated. Each performance has its own nuances. Every audience responds to what it is seeing a bit differently, and the actors respond in turn to this vibe. And when the run is over, the actors roll up their figurative tent and move on -- often to something totally different. This impermanence is one of the things that makes theater so special.
But there's a downside as well. Sometimes you see a performance that is so special, so creative, so magical, that you want to watch it over and over. But you can't just hit the "play" button again. The performance lives on only in your mind.
I came away from Wednesdays's WorldFest line-up having seen two shows that made me feel both grateful that I was there to have the experience yet regretful that it was so fleeting. Interestingly, both shows used music throughout, but the experiences were radically different.
The first was "Our Daily Bread" by the Argentinian duo of Gabriela Pages and Mario Marino. The performance was done in silent movie style, with music advancing the story along with their movements. As the curtain rose, a spotlight alternately shone on Pages and Marino as each waited with visible anticipation for the other on what might have been a blind date. I was captivated from the first moment by her charming flapper-like leg movements and the look on his face that conveyed a wistful sense of hope.
During the course of the next hour, we were taken through their relationship, from that first meeting to their shared old age. The "bread" theme was used liberally early on in the show. During the courtship (and later when the relationship needs some reviving), flour is used like pixie dust as a means of flirtation. A little dough creation represents their baby, which breasts feeds (quite energetically), grows before our very eyes and eventually leaves home. (Both actors were hilarious during these scenes.)
Then things got really interesting, and even more difficult to describe in a way that will capture the magic. The action included: Pages moving behind a screen and changing into a wedding dress with an enormously long train that was used as a prop. Marino coming offstage and manipulating a stagelight on her, boxing her in as she moved around the stage with an effect that reminded me a bit of a horror movie. Images projected onto her that I took as an indication that she was struggling with an illness. Both actors wearing masks--don't we all do that sometimes?--both on their faces and on the back of their heads, with their costumes designed in a way that worked both front and back. The couple moving away from each other with the inevitable ebbs and flows of a marriage and coming back together. The curve of their bodies indicating that they had grown together into old age.
The audience erupted at the end of the show in appreciation of a performance that was beautiful and moving and inordinately creative. The concept of wanting to be able to hit the "replay" button came to me as I was walking out of the theater after watching this show.
The second performance that grabbed me and has yet to let go was "POP!" presented by the Danish Black Box Pangea. When I was working on my article about the Festival, I skyped with the group's Emilie Bendix (who is a returning participant) to hear about what she had planned for this year. She explained that they would be doing a "theater concert," a style of theater that is popular in Europe that hasn't yet migrated to the United States. She said the purpose was to make the audience focus on the lyrics of popular songs. I couldn't quite imagine how they were going to do this, but it sounded interesting.
The songs included Christina Perri's "I Am Human," Pharell Williams' "Happy," and Fun's "We Are Young." But having a sense of what lyrics were included is almost meaningless. Sometimes they sang but often they spoke the words, forcing you to really hear what was being said. They used intonations and timing that made the words their own. They threw--and ate--paper hearts. They played guitar and keyboard. They manipulated the lights. They came into the audience. They switched clothing. They shared feelings of love and loss and pain and vulnerability. Ultimately, they defied any expectations I had about what my evening was going to hold. The performance closed with Rasmus Rhode standing on a far side of the stage atop a box wearing Emilie's dress and his jacket and singing "Say something, I'm giving up on you" (from A Great Big World) in a haunting voice. This moment in particular left me breathless.
"POP!" was edgy and made me simultaneously feel uncomfortable and exhilarated. It was incredibly powerful. I left the theater hoping this is the type of performance I'll be able to see when I go to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival later this summer.
Thank you to Venice Theatre for bringing these amazing performances to the WorldFest stage. And there's still more to come! I can't wait.

Illegal financing of political parties now punishable by jail in Peru
Thursday, December 6th 2018 – 09:20 UTC
A compliance officer can help political party officials avoid that circumstance. (Reference photol)
Peru's Congress Wednesday passed the bill which adds illicit financing of political organizations to the Penal Code, it was announced.
The new crime is now punishable by no less than three and no more than 10 years' jail time.
But if the amount of money, goods or profits involved is greater than the equivalent of 500 Tax Units (UIT), the penalty will be more severe – no less than five years and no more than 15 years' incarceration, plus hefty fines, according to the new law.
The bill also encourages the creation of an "optional" programme to comply with rules within the parties and the appointment of a compliance officer by the ONPE, whose opinions will become exculpatory from criminal, civil and administrative responsibility to the aforementioned organizations and their members.
"The compliance officer has power of autonomy and the duty to report in a timely manner behaviours that have a criminal relevance to the competent authorities," the bill adds.
The approval of this project sparked protests by members of the Broad Front, New Peru and the non-grouped ones, who rose from their seats and shouted "plot", since, they said, the parties that break the law will not be investigated as criminal organizations.
As a consequence of those protests, Congress' Second Vice President Segundo Tapia had to adjourn the session.

The BladeMate Flip Extension provides a solution for hauling longer wind turbine blades. XL's 27-foot long Flip Extension can be added to the rear of XL's BladeMate trailer, or any blade-hauling trailer. The final trailer length will depend on what model the flip extension is paired with. The Extension provides significant cost savings to haulers over purchasing a new trailer.

Health official: 'Travelers should heed safety guidelines before they leave on a trip'
Steve Foley
The Petoskey News-Review
As many start making spring break travel plans, the Health Department of Northwest Michigan is reminding area residents to pack COVID-19 safety tips along with beach towels, swimsuits, and sun block — or whatever vacation needs you may be packing in your suitcase.
Whether you're traveling on a cruise ship, traveling in the United States, or traveling internationally, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has tools and resources to make your trip as safe and healthy as possible.
In addition, the CDC offers details about travel requirements in your destination, mask requirements, vaccine requirements and more at its website. which may be accessed at www.cdc.gov.
The CDC's new COVID-19 community levels recommendations do not change current travel requirements, including the requirement to wear masks on public transportation and indoors in U.S. transportation hubs such as airports.
"Travelers should heed safety guidelines before they leave on a trip and upon returning home," said Lisa Peacock, health officer with the Health Department of Northwest Michigan. "Taking precautions will help assure you are healthy to travel, stay well during your vacation, and return in good health to share stories about your adventures with family and friends.
"Testing is widely available in most areas with quick turnaround time to meet any requirements you may encounter and is also a tool you can use after vacation to assure you have returned healthy," Peacock added.
The health department continues to offer COVID-19 vaccination clinics across its four-county region of Antrim, Charlevoix, Emmet and Otsego counties.
In addition, the health department has testing clinics with quick turnaround results so there is no interruption to travel plans. No symptoms or doctor's order is necessary. All ages are welcome and no appointment is needed, although pre-registration via nwhealth.org/covid19test.html or by calling (800) 432-4121, will save time at the testing location.
Testing is also available at the health department's new mobile clinic. For the mobile unit schedule, visit www.nwhealth.org.
The Health Department of Northwest Michigan is also reminding residents to not travel under the following circumstances:
You are sick, even if you recovered from COVID-19 within the past 90 days or are up to date with your COVID-19 vaccines.
You tested positive for COVID-19.
Do not travel until a full 10 days after your symptoms started or the date your positive test was taken if you had no symptoms.
You are waiting for results of a COVID-19 test.
You had close contact with a person with COVID-19 and are recommended to quarantine.
Do not travel until a full five days after your last close contact with the person with COVID-19. It is best to avoid travel for a full 10 days after your last exposure.
If you must travel during days six through 10 after your last exposure:
Get tested at least five days after your last close contact. Make sure your test result is negative and you remain without symptoms before traveling. If you don't get tested, avoid travel until a full 10 days after your last close contact with a person with COVID-19.
Properly wear a well-fitting mask when you are around others for the entire duration of travel during days six through 10. If you are unable to wear a mask, you should not travel during days six through 10.
If you had close contact with a person with COVID-19 but are NOT recommended to quarantine:
Get tested at least five days after your last close contact. Make sure your test result is negative and you remain without symptoms before traveling.
If you had confirmed COVID-19 within the past 90 days, you do not need to get tested, but you should still follow all other recommendations (including if you develop COVID-19 symptoms).
If you travel during the 10 days after your last exposure, properly wear a well-fitting mask when you are around others for the entire duration of travel during the 10 days. If you are unable to wear a mask, you should not travel during the 10 days.
According to the MI Safe Start Map, which tracks the levels of COVID-19 indicators, the Traverse City Region (which includes Antrim, Charlevoix, Emmet and Otsego counties) is at a risk level of "substantial" as of March 7. For the week of Feb. 28-March 7, weekly cases per 100,000 was at 75.3, which is still above the threshold of 50.
The test positivity rate in the Traverse City Region for that same week was at 7.2%
Additionally, the Health Department of Northwest Michigan on Tuesday reported a total of 70 new COVID-19 cases and seven COVID-19 associated deaths for the week of March 2-8.
Of that number, 13 new cases were reported in Antrim County, followed by 11 in Charlevoix County, 21 in Emmet County and 25 in Otsego County. Emmet County also reported three COVID-19 associated deaths in that week timeframe, while Antrim County had two deaths and one death apiece was reported in both Charlevoix and Otsego counties.

REA SOM
Rea Hunziker was born in Baden AG in 1989 and grew up in an artist and musician family. Her father Peter Hunziker, the organizer of the concerts Jazz in Baden, took Rea to the concerts since she was a little girl. With the age of 9 years, she started to take classical piano lessons, three years later singing lessons.
In 2009, she completed her Matura at the Kantonsschule Wettingen and finished with the major subject music on classical piano with Philipp Meier. With the age of 18, she recorded her first album myJazzLatinBand at Hardstudios Winterthur, as final work for her Matura degree. After that she took preparation classes at the ZHdK.
In 2014, Rea was invited as a Vocal Coach, to be part of the first Art Education-Project babel.überall from tanz&kunst königsfelden.
In 2015, Rea completed the Master of Arts in singing and pedagogy at the Lucerne Jazz School. Rea attended singing lessons and workshops with Lauren Newton, Susanne Abbuhel, Simone Santos, Ithamara Koorax, Dudu Penz, Rodrigo Botter Maio, Peggy Chew, Jay Clayton, Rahel Hadorn, Christoph Stiefel, Nat Su and Hans-Peter Pfammatter. Besides her concert activities, Rea teaches pop / rock singing and vocal training at the music schools Rain and Hitzkirch.
REA SOM is a Swiss band, dedicated to Brazilian music. Head of the band is the singer and composer Rea Hunziker.
In the summer of 2007, Rea traveled to Brazil for the first time and came back with impressive memories of the country, music and culture. The singer was so fascinated from the Brazilian music, that she founded REA SOM. Rea began to emulate the great Brazilian women voices Maria Rita and Elis Regina, learned Portuguese and soon started to write her own lyrics.
Since 2011, REA SOM has played concerts all over Switzerland (eg. Jazz in Baden, Sternenkeller Rüti, Blue Balls Festival Lucerne, Voices Festival Ettiswil, Jazz in Sarnen).
In 2013 the first music video of the band was released for the song Muito Pouco, a composition of the Brazilian musician Moska.
With the age of 25, she released her first REA SOM CD Não pare de cantar (self-published). Rea and her guitarist were invited to Berlin (D) to play an exclusive concert at Salão Transartes, the center for Brazilian culture in Berlin. A year later the dancer Melanie Fuentes choreographed a dance choreography for the title song Não pare de cantar, which can be seen in the second music video of the band.
After another stay in Rio de Janeiro, Rea wrote her first compositions and worked out her vision of REA SOM with her musicians. Many of the lyrics inspired by her stays in Brazil, deal with life's questions and recurring emotions. These songs speak of endless horizons, drifty longing, laughing children, images in the heart and the magic of life.
On March 9, 2018, the second REA SOM album Arte Calma will be released on Unit Records. On this album you can hear all compositions from the singer herself. The CD was recorded with Martin Schenker (guitar), Jonas Künzli (bass), Samuel Messerli (drums) and Alejandro Panetta (percussion) at the Hardstudios in Winterthur with sound engineer Andy Neresheimer in October 2017 and is a co-production by Radio SRF 2 Kultur.
Within this multicultural band, famous musicians from the Brazilian jazz scene are featured, such as the saxophonist Rodrigo Botter Maio, the percussionist Alejandro Panetta, the drummer Juan Carlos Abreu, the pianist Simon Althaus or the percussionist Freddy Benitez.

Eight years ago, on November 21st, 2008, Conficker reared its ugly head. And since then, the "worm that roared" – as ESET's distinguished researcher Aryeh Goretsky puts it – has remained stubbornly active.
Targeting Microsoft Windows, it has compromised home, business and government computers across 190 countries, leading experts to call it the most notorious and widespread worm since the emergence of Welchia some five years earlier.
Conficker, as we'll go onto explore, spawned numerous versions, each promising different attack methods (from injecting malicious code to phishing emails and copying itself to the ADMIN part of a Windows machine). Ultimately though, the worm leveraged – and indeed, continues to leverage – an old, unpatched vulnerability to crack passwords and hijack Windows computers into a botnet. These botnets would then be used to distribute spam or install scareware (again, as they are today).
It became one of the most serious malware outbreaks of all time, and claimed some famous scalps.
Some 11 million devices are reported to have been infected to date, including machines at the UK's Ministry of Defence and Germany's unified armed forces, Bundeswehr.
Reportedly it cost one UK council £1.4 million to recover from a Conficker infection in 2009, while Quest France complained French fighter planes were grounded because of the worm.
Such notoriety caused the Department of Homeland Security in the US to fund The Conficker Working Group, containing members from ESET, CISCO, Facebook, ICANN, Microsoft and various others, in order to investigate its long-term impact.
According to analysts at the Cyber Secure Initiative, worldwide costs of the Conficker cleanup might have been as much as $9 billion. There were also concerns of a bigger impact on the internet's infrastructure.
"With millions of computers under its control, many security experts speculated as to what the authors would attempt to do," a paper from the working group stated.
This was still back in 2009 though, and more recently Conficker is said to have corrupted and hijacked emerging IoT devices, including connected MRI machines, CT scanners and dialysis pumps (as well as police body-worn cameras), stealing medical records on the former. It is, subsequently, seen as the most pervasive malware family ahead of other long-timers like Tinba and Sality.
In truth, part of Conficker's success has been down to the numerous new variants and revised methods of attack. More recently, analysts have said that the self-replicating malware – once best known for infecting via USB – would be able to move laterally through a network in order to target certain devices, orchestrated by the criminal's command and control (C&C) instructions.
Microsoft even offered a $250,000 reward in 2009 for anyone providing information that would lead to the "arrest and conviction" of anyone found guilty of "illegally launching the Conficker malicious code on the internet". It's a reward that has seemingly never been paid.
"People who write this malware have to be held accountable," George Stathakopulos, of Microsoft's Trustworthy Computing Group, said at the time.
And as we'll go onto discuss, it seems like Conficker became too big a beast for any cybercriminal to truly make use of.
Conficker was notorious, and – perhaps unsurprisingly – its success owed much to the age-old problem of patch management. It exploited a Microsoft Windows vulnerability (MS08-67) that the Redmond software giant had actually issued a patch for a full 29 days before Conficker started to spread.
Conficker, as discussed above, also changed course numerous times, morphing from a worm running "headless" without a command and control (C&C) server, and spreading largely via network shares and USB sticks, to more modern variants where it would move laterally through the network, identifying weak and vulnerable devices.
"Most of the malware we see today doesn't spread via its own steam like the Conficker worm," independent security analyst Graham Cluley said late last year.
As of today, any good antivirus should now be able to detect and remove the worm, the only problem being the self-propagating nature of Conficker meaning computers infected with Conficker will go onto infect other PCs not running AV software.
What happened to the cybercriminals?
Oddly, little happened with these attacks, with ESET's senior research fellow David Harley observing that "nothing seems to have been done" with the countless infected computers.
This is a view shared by Goretsky, who added: "With the world's anti-malware researchers watching it, and vigilantly reporting every move, it was hard for the criminal gang behind Conficker to do anything to monetize their worm.
As of today, Conficker – and the people behind it – remain in obscurity. The criminal gang operating it appeared to abandon it towards the end of 2009. Yet, here we are, in 2016, still dealing with a worm that appears to have been left to its own devices.
Conficker, in many ways, remains a mystery but a vivid example of cybercrime and an ever-changing threat landscape.

Original Black Mafia Family member Dexter (Sosa) Hussey did his time for his crime and now he has a story to tell. The 53-year old Hussey, a native of Detroit and four years removed from a prison stint stemming from his involvement in the historic Operation Motor City Mafia case, has released a memoir focusing on the early-days of "BMF." Co-authored with Kal Williams, Blueprint to Conspiracy – The Untold Story of the Black Mafia Family, dropped as a kindle download on Amazon.com last week.
Brothers Demetrius (Big Meech) Flenory and Terry (Southwest T) Flenory founded what became known around the world as BMF in the early 1990s on Motown's Southwest side in the shadow of the Ambassador Bridge, eventually expanding outside of Michigan and building a transcontinental narcotics-trafficking organization the likes of which, both in scope and cultural impact, had never been witnessed before and hasn't since. Big Meech relocated to Atlanta. His brother moved out west to Los Angeles. Hussey stayed behind in Detroit and helped head BMF operations at Ground Zero.
According to Hussey's memoir, the group was first called the Rushtown Crew and then The 50 Boys prior to settling on the BMF moniker. Authorities estimated the organization at its peak in the mid 2000s was roughly 1,000 men strong scattered across 17 different states. The Flenorys and dozens of their lieutenants and associates were brought down in 2005's crippling Operation Motor City Mafia indictment. Hussey was arrested in 2007 in a superseding indictment.
The iconic Big Meech, 50, and his lesser-known baby brother Southwest T, 47, both pleaded guilty in the case and are doing 30-year prison terms. Rapper and actor 50 Cent is currently putting together a scripted television series about the Flenory brothers' rise and fall for the cable network Starz as a follow up to his smash hit Power. Oscar nominee and former female rap star Queen Latifah has reportedly been trying to develop a feature film property based on BMF in recent years.
Hussey's nickname "Sosa" is a nod to the Bolivian cocaine baron character Alejandro Sosa in the 1983 film Scarface. He got out of prison in February 2015 and owns the BMF logo and trademark.

Lebanese Style Shish Tawook Recipe is essentially chicken cubes pierced onto skewers and marinated overnight. A super simple recipe to make packed with flavours, is a great dish to make for your next barbeque party.
Lebanese style grilled chicken skewers is very simple to make with a lot of flavours in it. The marination of the meat overnight yields the most tender and juicy chicken.
There is something very comforting about Middle Eastern dishes. From the subtle flavourful pilaf, to the spice fragrant Kebabs to lip smacking baklava, everything has a unique flavour and taste. Not to forget the diverse variations of dips, spreads, sauces from different regions of the Middle East. Mostly in the Lebanon cuisine, shish normally uses lamb. But a lot of people are switching to white meat in place of red meat due to health aspects. The popularity of chicken around the world made people to adapt and use boneless chicken for shish tawook.
Serve Shish Tawook Recipe with Whole Wheat Pita Bread and Tzatziki Dip for a perfect weekend lunch with your friends and family.
To begin making the Shish Tawook recipe, in a mixing bowwl, combine the yogurt, paprika, garlic, ginger, dried oregano, dried thyme, olive oil, lemon juice, tomato paste, ground pepper powder and Salt to taste.
Whisk everything properly and next, add the chicken cubes, capsicum and onions and mix well to coat all the chicken pieces.
Cover the mixing bowl and marinate the chicken pieces over night in the fridge.
Next day, fire up your outdoor grill or preheat the oven at home. Immerse skewer sticks in water for about 15 minutes.
If you are using metal skewers rod, you can just go ahead with the next step.
Skewer the chicken cubes along with cubed capsicum and cubed onions. Pour the remaining marinate over the skewed chicken.
Place on hot grill and grill until meat begins to brown.
Turnover and grill the other side too. Once meat is grilled on both sides, remove from grill. This will take about 7-10 minutes.


Discussion in 'General Discussion' started by Exxan, Feb 4, 2019.
There is always DLC in production.
Their production still goes at a snails pace with the end product lacking several features.
Do you want them to rush them?
Pretty sure that was on purpose, for effect.
They're already rushed, that's the problem. They need to take a bit more time before releasing these.
How long do you think a route should take to build?
Even given the issues people have, when you get that level of realism I would say that a bit of a wait is justified.
Yes! That post is awesome!
I am saying that with the time they take and with the quality of the content that they release isn't lining up. The sounds are awful, the physics aren't realistic (especially with braking), and the length of the routes are so short it's ridiculous.
The sounds are quite good. I do slightly agree about the braking, and if the routes were built longer, then it would take much longer and people would complain more. Routes are gradually getting longer btw, because they are getting faster.
The sounds aren't awful. The sounds were not great to start with but have improved and the sounds on TPE are very good and I don't feel the physics are particularly bad. Some longer routes would be nice but I am not that unhappy with what we have so far.
the length of the routes are so short it's ridiculous.
100% of the train physics in any simulation are going to be "simulated" and feel off, to a layperson, perhaps not so bad.

Aston Martin's First All-Electric Car Takes on Monaco
The Rapide E impresses crowds in first public appearance.
Amylia Hilda
She's electric. The Rapide E takes an electrifying spin around Monaco.
The Aston Martin Rapide E made a head-turning appearance in Monaco during the recent ABB FIA Formula E Monaco EPrix, taking to the iconic street circuit with Aston Martin works driver and three-time 24 Hours of Le Mans winner Darren Turner behind the wheel.
The principality made for a suitably glamorous location for the first fully-electric Aston Martin to demonstrate to the public just what it's capable of. The sleek vehicle is designed to capture the feel of the V12-engine Rapide AMR and boasts a package that delivers both performance and style. The British luxury car marque has dubbed the car as the most powerful Rapide sedan to date, with twin electric motors delivering a combined target output 612PS and 950Nm of torque.
The Aston Martin Rapide E takes on the historical streets of Monaco.
As witnessed when the car took the track in Monaco, it can go very fast indeed, with a top speed of 155mph and a sub- 4.0 seconds 0-60 mph time. "Monaco is a fantastic setting," says Aston Martin Vehicle Line Director John Caress. "It's the kind of race circuit that can showcase what this car can really do. We're here to showcase the technology."
So how did the whole idea to create a fully-electric Aston Martin come about? "We started the project with the idea of what would an electric Aston Martin be like? What would it look like? What would it sound like? How it would perform," explains Caress. "One of the keys to this project is learning and doing it in a controlled manner. This is why it's very exclusive. But it's also a very inclusive project, we want others to be part of our journey and this is a great way of doing that with a very select club of people who have made that commitment to be part of that journey and here we are today."
Aston Martin has dubbed the Rapide E as its most powerful Rapide to date.
Aston Martin has called in the help of Williams Advanced Engineering to collaborate on the project. "The reason for choosing Williams is because of their experience in carbon fibre technology and they were previously supplying the battery for Formula E. They also bring lots of knowledge in dynamics, it's a very diverse team to produce that skillset and to fill the holes that we had at the time three years ago," says Caress.
The Rapide E's bespoke battery pack is placed where the original 6.0-litre V12, gearbox and fuel tank were located. Meanwhile, the 800V system allows for quick charging, making it a practical luxury car. Speaking on the audience's feedback since the car was first revealed at the Shanghai Auto Show last month Caress says the reaction has been great so far, "People realise this is not a concept, it's a real car. Now it's about customer engagement and the Monaco EPrix is just one of the many events we're planning to showcase what the car can do."
Production of the car is limited to only 155 global units and will start later this year at Aston Martin Lagonda's new production facility in St Athan, Wales. Pricing is available on request and there are still a few build slots left. So, best be quick if you want to get your hands on one.

Sydney And Taylor Explore The Whole Wide World (Paperback)
By Jacqueline Davies
Kobo eBook (February 2nd, 2021): $4.99
Hardcover (February 2nd, 2021): $14.99
Best-selling author Jacqueline Davies tells the story of two unlikely friends: Sydney and Taylor, a skunk and a hedgehog who strike out to discover the great unknown, despite how afraid they are of it. Charming illustrations and a laugh-out-loud story make this chapter book perfect for fans of the Mercy Watson and Owl Diaries series.
Sydney is a skunk and Taylor is a hedgehog, but no matter how odd the pairing may seem, their friendship comes naturally. They live happily in their cozy burrow . . . until the day Taylor gets his Big Idea to go see the Whole Wide World. From mountains taller than a hundred hedgehogs, valleys wider than a thousand skunks, to the dangers that lie in the human world, Sydney and Taylor wanted to see it all. With a map and a dream, they bravely set off, soon discovering that the world is much bigger than they realized.
Jacqueline Davies is the talented writer of several novels and picture books, including The Lemonade War series, the Sydney & Taylor series, and The Boy Who Drew Birds. Ms. Davies lives in Needham, Massachusetts, with her family.

My team and I were reflecting on some of the ups and downs of the Season here so far at the store. One of the bright points that was shared was your visit. Several Team Members commented on how great it is that your company is taking care of your employees with the gift of Toys R Us gift cards. (really it didn't matter that the cards were for our store, just the gesture in general). Of course on the business side of things we are very grateful that you chose our store/company for the gift card option.
Kaci and Stephanie who helped you with the transaction must have talked quite a bit about it, since numerous team members were aware of the transaction. Thanks for being part of one of the "good stories" here this year… and thanks again for choosing our store.


SEVUSH-David. With his passing on January 19th, 1998, the world became a poorer place. Born on June 29, 1922, he fought for his country in World War II and returned from the Pacific to marry and raise a family. Though he had to leave school during the Depression, he was a lover of learning and returned to school in his later years, receiving a college degree from Kingsborough Community College at the age of 65. Throughout his life, he was an active and integral part of his beloved Brooklyn through his involvement with the Boy Scouts, Youth Baseball, Coney Island Community Council, and the Sea Gate Community Council and Board of Directors. He was a passionate and tireless advocate for the truth. He is survived by his bride of fifty years, Norma; their three sons, Steve, Herb and Ralph; their daughters-in-law Elaine, Aline and Tobe; their four grandchildren Jeremy, Jennifer, David and Jamie; his two younger brothers, Leo and Jack, and relatives, friends, neighbors and coworkers who mourn their loss. Services will be held at Parkside Memorial Chapel, Flatbush Avenue and Avenue V in Brooklyn on Wednesday, January 21 at 11:30 AM. The family requests, in lieu of flowers, contributions may be made in his name to the charity of their choice.

Q: Fastest way to reset a multidimensional array? Say I have a two dimensional array: vectors[x][y], and the initial array structure looks like this:
vectors = [
 [0, 0, 0, 0, 0,],
 [0, 0, 0, 0, 0,],
 [0, 0, 0, 0, 0,],
 [0, 0, 0, 0, 0,],
 [0, 0, 0, 0, 0,]
]

After some calculations, the data in the array is randomized. What is the fastest way and most efficient way to return the array to it's initial state?
I know that I could just hardcode the above zeroed array and set vectors equal to it again, but I also know that an algorithm such as:
for (var x = 0; x < vectors.length; x++) {
    for (var y = 0; y < vectors[x].length; y++) {
        vectors[x][y] = 0;
    }

}

is O(x * y).
So which is the better way? And is there a better, even faster/more efficient way to solve this?
And for the general case of zeroing a multi-dimensional array of any length, which is the best way? (I'm working in JavaScript if it matters)

A: Here is my two cents:
I'd go with keeping a clean copy of your original array for fastest performance. You can either keep a referenced hard-coded copy
var vectorsOrig = [
 [0, 0, 0, 0, 0],
 [0, 0, 0, 0, 0],
 [0, 0, 0, 0, 0],
 [0, 0, 0, 0, 0],
 [0, 0, 0, 0, 0]
];

or do a dynamic clean clone of the initial array using slice ((recursively in your case for deep copy):
var clonedVectors = [0, 0, 0, 0, 0].slice(0);

Regardless, taking the approach of resetting your vector reference to an original copy will be faster than cycling through and resetting each node. If your old vector array object isn't referenced any more, JavaScript will garbage collect it.
With that said, the question becomes of obtaining a clean copy each and every time. Having once hard-coded instance will give you one clean copy and you'll have to clone it thereafter. Nor do you want to into dynamic generation via similar for loops as the reset option. My advice is to write a clone function that simply returns a new hard-coded or initialized array:
function newVector() {
    return [
     [0, 0, 0, 0, 0],
     [0, 0, 0, 0, 0],
     [0, 0, 0, 0, 0],
     [0, 0, 0, 0, 0],
     [0, 0, 0, 0, 0]
    ];
}
var vector = newVector();
vector[1][2] = 11;
console.dir(vector);
vector = newVector();  // your old array will be garbage-collected if no longer referenced by any other reference
console.dir(vector);

Ideally, it's best to benchmark various approach.
EDIT
Thanks to Vega's input, I've modified his test to test three approaches. In Chrome and IE9, this solution seems to be the fastest, in FF (15.0.1) manual iteration seems faster (memory allocation/management slower in FF possibly). http://jsperf.com/array-zero-test/2

A: So far, it sounds like we have 2 possible choices.

*

*Overwrite the whole thing with zeroes. (Your solution)

*Keep a record of all modified elements and only reset those ones. record[0].x = 3; record[0].y = 5; and so on
However, you'll still need to loop once through the record. To explain it further, I mean that each time an element in the array is set to a value, you should record that element's placement in the array. Then, using a loop, you can visit each element and set it to 0. So, if you had a sparse array, it would be more efficient.
Depending on the implementation, I can see why you would want #2 instead of #1...but if you seriously have a large enough matrix that you need to worry about analyzing the algorithm, you might consider doing some kind of server pre-processing.

A: Another different way of looking at the problem is to use a linear array and calculate the linear index from the x, y indices when you do your updates.
The initialization is then just a single for loop with time O(x+y)

A: I'll risk and say that the fastest way of assigning the same value to all elements is by calling Array.map().
But, there is a catch here. Note that this will have incredibly fast performance on browsers that have natively implemented that method, and will have just the usual performance in other browsers. Also note that .map() isn't available in some old browsers, so you'll need to use Underscore.js or any other library that provides that method.


The Christ Lutheran Confirmation Program is designed to encourage students to grow and mature in their faith and understanding of God's Word and Promise.
Our goal for the Confirmation ministry is to teach the students God's plan of salvation in Jesus Christ as found in Scripture and Luther's Small Catechism.
It is our desire that the student's grow strong in their relationship with Jesus, and are aware of his personal involvement in their daily lives. A personal relationship with Jesus as Savior and Lord forms a solid foundation for lifelong, in-depth, Bible study.
The curriculum is a two-year program using Martin Luther's Small Catechism (which covers the six chief parts of Christian doctrine) and the Holy Bible (ESV Translation).
