Zenon Franco is a Paraguayan grandmaster who is an experienced trainer and has authored numerous books on chess. He represented Paraguay on top board in seven Chess Olympiads, and won individual gold medals at Lucerne 1982 and Novi Sad 1990.
There is also a bibliography, preface, introduction, an index of openings, and an index of complete games. There are forty-six complete games and a range of opening systems represented, the most common of which is the Ruy Lopez and Queen's Gambit. All of the games are wins for Lasker. He is on the white side of twenty-four of them. There are several game fragments and endings discussed as well.
There have been many books written on Lasker, seventeen are mentioned in the bibliography (a list Edward Winter describes as "desperately superficial"), with several quoted in the book. Franco writes, "As in my previous books in the Move by Move series, I shall give voice to the wisdom of other chess masters who have provided annotations, many very instructive, to Lasker's games during the past one hundred years or more." Yet, enjoyable as Lasker: Move by Move is, if you have some, or all, of these previous titles, you probably do not need this one.
Perhaps the reason why Lasker caused his opponents so many problems is illustrated with the following maneuver from Marshall-Lasker, New York 1907, where Franco gives Black's move as 23…Rf7. This typographical error then keeps the black king at g8, making the later 24…Ke7 and 25…Rh6 truly astounding.
Exercise: What was the idea that Lasker had prepared?
"A fine, deeply calculated combination, which any grandmaster could be proud of even today. It's beyond the powers of even a strong computer – here additional forces are needed…" (Kasparov).
It's also much better than 17…Bd7 18 Qf3 Bc6, which was slightly better for Black. Regarding Lasker's decision to sacrifice when he had a good alternative, Nunn commented: "To embark upon a sacrificial combination when there's no choice is not especially brave, but to do so when you have a perfectly good positional alternative requires courage," and he added, "Nevertheless, this is one of the keys to success in chess. If you genuinely believe that a particular continuation is best then you should have the self-confidence to play it even if it involves a degree of risk".
In the event of 18 bxc3 the simple 18…Bd7! is good, followed by 19…Rc8, but more crushing is the immediate 18…Rc8! and after 19 fxe6 Qxc3 20 exf7+ Rf8 Black's attack is decisive: 21 Qe2 Bxd4 or 21 Be2 Qb4+ 22 Ka1 Rc1+! and mate with …Bxd4+.
Exercise: What had Lasker planned to play here?
Marvellous. This move unsurprisingly attracted great admiration and praise. It's hard not to have the same reaction as upon seeing a move like 11…Na4!! in D.Byrne-R.Fischer, New York 1956, or 18 Rxf7!! in M.Botvinnik-L.Portisch, Monte Carlo 1968, or the sequence beginning with 24 Rxd4!! in G.Kasparov-V.Topalov, Wijk aan Zee 1999, to quote just a few examples of the highest expression of the art of chess.
Nunn wrote: "This is the difficult move to see. The threat to the a2-pawn forces White to take the impudent rook, exposing his king to a check along the b-file. However, the queen and bishop by themselves cannot press the attack home and the key factor is whether Black can include his remaining rook in the attack".
"The point of the combination! This paradoxical rook sacrifice forces the white king to begin a fight for its own existence", commented Kasparov, while Amos Burn called it "The finest combination ever played on a chess board", while it's noteworthy that Lasker commented simply, "This was the point".
This capture reduces the tension in the position and makes Black's task easier, since it activates the rook immediately.
Lasker commented: "Or 19 e7 Re8 20 bxa3 Qb6+ 21 Kc2 (if 21 Ka1, Black would soon win by 21…Bxd4+ 22 Rxd4 Qxd4+ 23 Kb1 Rxe7) 21…Rc8+ 22 Kd2 Bxd4 and White has no defence". In the event of 21 Bb5 here, Black could play 21…Qxb5+ 22 Ka1 Rxe7, with huge compensation for the small material investment.
After 19 e7 Lasker preferred 19…Re8 to the more active move 19…Rc8, because White could then exploit the fact that the rook was unprotected with 20 Qg4! and at the same time defend d4, enabling him to capture the rook on a3 under more favourable conditions.
White had to play 19 bxa3, to which the reply would be 19…Qb6+. Then 20 Ka1? loses to 20…Bxd4+ 21 Rxd4 Qxd4+ 22 Kb1, after which the f8-rook would join in the attack with 22…fxe6!, threatening …Rf2, amongst other things. Then after 23 Be2 Qe4+ 24 Ka1 Rf2 Black is winning: for example, 25 Re1 Qd4+ 26 Kb1 Qd2, etc.
20 Kc2? also loses: 20…Rc8+ 21 Kd2 Qxd4+ 22 Ke1 (22 Bd3 allows mate with 22…Rc2+! 23 Kxc2 Qb2#) 22…Qe3+ 23 Be2 fxe6, and despite White's extra rook, with his king stuck in the centre, his position is indefensible after, say, 24 Qh3 Bc3+ 25 Kf1 Rf8+ 26 Bf3 Ba5 27 Qg3 Bb6, followed by 28…e5 and 29…e4.
As such, the only viable option for White would be to return some of the material with 20 Bb5!, although after 20…Qxb5+ 21 Ka1 fxe6 Black's compensation for the exchange should be more than sufficient.
Exercise: How did Lasker continue?
"This is some kind of mysticism: the second rook is also sacrificed on the very same square! I think that Pillsbury must have been unable to believe his eyes…" (Kasparov).
If 27 Kb1 then Black can play 27…Bxd4 28 Re1 Qb4+ 29 Kc1 Qc3+ 30 Qc2 Qa1+ 31 Qb1 Rc3+ 32 Rc2 Be3+ 33 Rxe3 Qxb1+ 34 Kxb1 Rxe3, and the rook ending should be a win for Black.
Quicker was 27…Kh8 28 Qe8+ Kh7 29 Kb1 Bxd4, but there is nothing wrong with repeating moves.
"If 28 Kb1 Bxd4 29 Qf5+ g6 30 Qd7+ Bg7 wins" (Lasker). In this line 29 Qe2 is no better, in view of 29…Qb4+! regaining the exchange, with a decisive advantage.
Instead, if 28 Qf5+ Black should avoid 28…Kh8? because of 29 Kb1! and as 29…Bxd4?? loses to 30 Qf8+ and Qxa3, he must play 29…Rxa2 30 Rxa2 Qb3+ 31 Kc1, when 31…Qxa2? loses to 32 Qc8+ Kh7 33 Qc2+, so Black must force a draw with 31…Bg5+ 32 Rad2 Qc3+ 33 Qc2 Qa1+.
Here Lasker would have repeated moves with 28…Kg8!, and now if 29 Kb1 then 29…Bxd4 is winning, since with the king on g8 there is no 30 Qf8+, while 29 Qe6+ Kh8 transposes to the line given in the note to move 27, above.
"Later Lasker called this game the best of his career.
"Too many mistakes, you say? Please don't rush to write off this game, and just remember its unique historical importance! That day Caissa chose Lasker, and as we know today, the chess goddess did not err. Her cruel decision marked a fork in the lives of both players.
"Lasker, inspired by this victory, won the tournament convincingly. Later that year he crushed Steinitz in a rematch and kept his title for 25 more years, while Pillsbury, after the above disaster, collapsed and lost five games out of the remaining eight, ending up third behind Steinitz. He never achieved the same peak of playing strength as in that magnificent year and died eight years later at the age of 34.
"Who know how often Harry Nelson Pillsbury remembered that traumatic day in St. Petersburg and the chances he had missed – chances that would have changed his entire life and the course of chess history" (Kasparov).

The REACH for Nepal Foundation encourages and facilitates opportunities for Nepalese people to complete vocational training through local providers. This will improve employment opportunities, create jobs and improve stability and harmony in remote villages. With in-demand skills, people won't need to travel to the Middle East or India looking for work.
With abundant local knowledge, the REACH for Nepal Foundation identifies schools in Western Nepal that assistance help rebuilding classrooms or other facilities. These projects are funded through fundraising activities in Australia.
In all rebuilding projects, we use local labour and materials. This creates jobs and stimulates the economy by investing funds locally.
The REACH for Nepal Foundation, with the support of its Nepalese director, uses local networks to identify students in remote Western Nepal that would most benefit from an education scholarship.
When undertaking school projects or visits, the foundation donates used Australian textbooks to students. If you have school textbooks in good condition that you would like to donate for distribution in Nepalese schools, contact us.
The REACH for Nepal Foundation encourages qualified Australian teachers to travel to Nepal and volunteer to pass on their skills and share their knowledge with local teachers.
Children who grow up in Nepal are often told to study hard. A good education helps graduates find jobs and provide a better future for their families, but it is only one part of the equation. At REACH for Nepal Foundation, we believe that sports participation is also beneficial to school-aged children.
The REACH for Nepal Foundation encourages grassroots programs in villages with sports including cricket, football, soccer, badminton and table tennis. In the initial phase, the Foundation distributes sporting equipment to the school administration.

China is an ideal getaway all year round. Whenever you choose to go, China has something for you.
Because China is a large country (roughly equivalent to the United States), the answer to when you should travel to China varies greatly depending on what you plan to see and do there. The fact is that even during the hottest and coldest times of the year, there is always something exciting to do in China.
In general, the best time to visit China is in April, May, September, and October. Travelers during these periods would be met with comfortable weather and breathtaking landscapes, while that also means your travel cost may be higher also. Traveling in other months is also rewarding because you will likely have more of the extraordinary landscape to yourself, as well as cheaper accommodations.
From April to June, you can do and see just about anything you wish, although the northern climes of Heilongjiang and Xinjiang could still be rather cold until the beginning of summer.
This time of year is probably the most popular season to tour China, in part because it is typically drier in places such as Beijing and Xian, which means it won't be too terribly hot if you decide to visit.
While many people choose to head to Chine during the rest of summer, it's often considerably hotter and humid in cities like Beijing, Xian, Shanghai, and Chengdu. It should be noted that the north of China tends to be drier on average, but the further south you move, you could see rain in the summer months. This shouldn't discourage you from visiting the Li River or the Yellow Mountains, however, as the moist summer mists can make for an incredible view.
On the other hand, summer is typically the best time to visit the higher elevations of places such as Tibet or oceanfront vistas such as those of the island of Hainan, which is at roughly the same latitude as Hawaii and has a similar climate.
The early fall, like Springtime, has much to offer anyone who chooses to visit China. You should consider taking some warmer clothes along with you so you an comfortably appreciate the changing colors of the fall season.
In winter, you will have the opportunity to enjoy the world-famous ice festival in Harbin and experiencing Chinese New Year. While being able to witness the Chinese New Year (or Spring Festival) will be something you can tell your friends later, many experienced travelers prefer not to visit China at this time. It is commonly understood that transportation is crowded and many tourist attractions, including government offices, are not open for business. Other Chinese holidays you should be aware of include Labor Day (May 1-3) and Chinese National Day (October 1-7).
Because the date of Chinese New Year is tied to the lunar calendar, the exact date will move from year to year. Chinese New Year 2019, for example, will be on February 5th but will take place on January 25 in 2020.
At the same time, seeing China under a blanket of snow between November and March makes for a very memorable experience.
What about seeing the Great Wall?
The Great Wall is one of the most popular tourist destinations in all the world, so the government keeps sections of the wall open year-round. This means you can have markedly different experiences depending on the season you choose to go.
April to the beginning of November are always a good bet to get the most out of visiting the Great Wall, with the summer months being the best-suited for camping on the grounds.
Beijing in December, January, and the beginning of February is quite cold so you will need to pack extra layers while walking sections of the Great Wall. At the same time, if the wall and mountains are covered in snow, the scene is exceptionally beautiful, particularly if the winds are not too strong.
China has a continental and seasonal climate: most parts of the country are in a relatively temperate zone and some areas in the south are have a tropical or subtropical climate. If you go far enough to the north, of course, the weather is considerably colder.
When you prepare for your trip, consider the average seasonal temperatures so as to know what to bring; jackets, sports coats, suits, and long sleeve shirts, however, are appropriate for this time of year. Be sure to bring some comfortable travel shoes.
You may also want to invest in a pollution mask for some of the smoggier days in China's major cities. Plenty of locals utilize masks, so don't worry about looking like a tourist. Amazon has pollution masks that you can take a look at.

These are the boot options that are useful when starting Anaconda. For more information refer to the appropriate Installation Guide for your release and to the Anaconda wiki.
Anaconda bootup is handled by dracut, so most of the kernel arguments handled by dracut are also valid. See dracut.kernel(7) for details on those options.
Throughout this guide, installer-specific options are prefixed with inst (e.g. inst.ks). Options specified without the inst prefix are recognized, but the prefix may be required in a future release.
Usually this is either a copy of the DVD media (or loopback-mounted DVD image), or the <arch>/os/ directory on the Fedora mirrors.
 an installable tree must contain a valid .treeinfo file for inst.repo or inst.stage2 to work.
Search the system's CDROM drives for installer media. This is the default.
Look for installer media in the specified disk device.
Mount the given disk partition and install from ISO file on the given path. This installation method requires ISO file, which contains an installable tree.
Look for an installable tree at the given URL.
Mount the given NFS server and path. Uses NFS version 3 by default.
You can specify what version of the NFS protocol to use by adding nfsvers=X to the options .
This accepts not just an installable tree directory in the <path> element, but you can also specify an .iso file. That ISO file is then mounted and used as the installation tree. This is often used for simulating a standard DVD installation using a remote DVD.iso image.
Non-alphanumeric characters should be escaped with \xNN, where 'NN' is the hexidecimal representation of the character (e.g. \x20 for the space character (' ').
Prevents Anaconda from verifying the ssl certificate for all HTTPS connections with an exception of the additional kickstart repos (where –noverifyssl can be set per repo).
Use the given proxy settings when performing an installation from a HTTP/HTTPS/FTP source. The PROXY_URL can be specified like this: [PROTOCOL://][USERNAME[:PASSWORD]@]HOST[:PORT].
This specifies the location to fetch only the installer runtime image; packages will be ignored. Otherwise the same as inst.repo.
This specifies the location for driver rpms. May be specified multiple times. Locations may be specified using any of the formats allowed for inst.repo.
This sets dnf's multilib_policy to "all" (as opposed to "best").
Give the location of a kickstart file to be used to automate the install. Locations may be specified using any of the formats allowed for inst.repo.
For any format the <path> component defaults to /ks.cfg if it is omitted.
For NFS kickstarts, if the <path> ends in /, <ip>-kickstart is added.
This is helpful when using inst.ks=http... to provision systems.
Initial network setup is handled by dracut. For detailed information consult the "Network" section of dracut.kernel(7).
The most common dracut network options are covered here, along with some installer-specific options.
Configure one (or more) network interfaces. You can use multiple ip arguments to configure multiple interfaces, but if you do you must specify an interface for every ip= argument, and you must specify which interface is the primary boot interface with bootdev.
Try to bring up every interface using the given autoconf method. Defaults to ip=dhcp if network is required by inst.repo, inst.ks, inst.updates, etc.
Bring up only one interface using the given autoconf method, e.g. ip=eth0:dhcp.
The client IP address. IPv6 addresses may be specified by putting them in square brackets, like so: [2001:DB8::1].
The default gateway. IPv6 addresses are accepted here too.
The netmask (e.g. 255.255.255.0) or prefix (e.g. 64).
Hostname for the client machine. This component is optional.
Bring up the given interface with the given autoconf method, but override the automatically obtained IP/gateway/etc. with the provided values.
Technically all of the items are optional, so if you want to use dhcp but also set a hostname you can use ip=::::<hostname>::dhcp.
Specify the address of a nameserver to use. May be used multiple times.
Specify which interface is the boot device. Required if multiple ip= options are used.
Assign the given interface name to the network device with the given MAC. May be used multiple times.
Set the DHCP vendor class identifier [#dhcpd]. Defaults to anaconda-$(uname -srm).
 ISC dhcpd will see this value as "option vendor-class-identifier".
This is a kernel option that specifies what device to use as the primary console. For example, if your console should be on the first serial port, use console=ttyS0.
You can use multiple console= options; boot messages will be displayed on all consoles, but anaconda will put its display on the last console listed.
Set the language to be used during installation. The language specified must be valid for the lang kickstart command.
Install in single language mode - no interactive options for installation language and language support configuration will be available. If a language has been specified via the inst.lang boot option or the lang kickstart command it will be used. If no language is specified Anaconda will default to en_US.UTF-8.
Atomic installations always run in single language mode.
Configure geolocation usage in Anaconda. Geolocation is used to pre-set language and time zone.
Use the Fedora GeoIP API (default).
Use the Hostip.info GeoIP API.
Set the keyboard layout to use. The layout specified must be valid for use with the keyboard kickstart command.
Run the installer in command-line mode. This mode does not allow any interaction; all options must be specified in a kickstart file or on the command line.
Run the installer in graphical mode. This is the default.
Run the installer using a limited text-based UI. Unless you're using a kickstart file this probably isn't a good idea; you should use VNC instead.
Specify screen size for the installer. Use format nxm, where n is the number of horizontal pixels, m the number of vertical pixels. The lowest supported resolution is 800x600.
Run the installer GUI in a VNC session. You will need a VNC client application to interact with the installer. VNC sharing is enabled, so multiple clients may connect.
A system installed with VNC will start in text mode (runlevel 3).
Set a password on the VNC server used by the installer.
Once the install starts, connect to a listening VNC client at the given host. Default port is 5900.
Specify that the machine being installed onto doesn't have any display hardware, and that anaconda shouldn't bother looking for it.
Specify the X driver that should be used during installation and on the installed system.
Use the framebuffer X driver (fbdev) rather than a hardware-specific driver.
Start up sshd during system installation. You can then ssh in while the installation progresses to debug or monitor its progress.
The root account has no password by default. You can set one using the sshpw kickstart command.
Run the rescue environment. This is useful for trying to diagnose and fix broken systems.
Give the location of an updates.img to be applied to the installer runtime. Locations may be specified using any of the formats allowed for inst.repo.
For any format the <path> component defaults to /updates.img if it is omitted.
A debugging option that prevents anaconda from and rebooting when a fatal error occurs or at the end of the installation process.
Set the minimum level required for messages to be logged on a terminal (log files always contain messages of all levels). The default value is info.
Do not put a shell on tty2 during install.
Once installation is running, send log messages to the syslog process on the given host. The default port is 514 (UDP).
Requires the remote syslog process to accept incoming connections.
Forward logs through the named virtio port (a character device at /dev/virtio-ports/<name>).
If not provided, a port named org.fedoraproject.anaconda.log.0 will be used by default, if found.
See the Anaconda wiki logging page for more info on setting up logging via virtio.
Forces/disables (on/off) usage of zRAM swap for the installation process.
Use extlinux as the bootloader. Note that there's no attempt to validate that this will work for your platform or anything; it assumes that if you ask for it, you want to try.
Boot the drives in their existing order, to override the default of booting into the newly installed drive on Power Systems servers and EFI systems. This is useful for systems that, for example, should network boot first before falling back to a local boot.
This option is never a good idea! If you have a disk that is erroneously identified as part of a firmware RAID array, that means it has some stale RAID metadata on it which must be removed using an appropriate tool (dmraid and/or wipefs).
Disable support for multipath devices. This is for systems on which a false-positive is encountered which erroneously identifies a normal block device as a multipath device. There is no other reason to use this option.
Not for use with actual multipath hardware! Using this to attempt to install to a single path of a multipath is ill-advised, and not supported.
Prefer creation of GPT disklabels.
Enable SELinux usage in the installed system (default). Note that when used as a boot option, "selinux" and "inst.selinux" are not the same. The "selinux" option is picked up by both the kernel and Anaconda, but "inst.selinux" is processed only by Anaconda. So when "selinux=0" is used, SELinux will be disabled both in the installation environment and in the installed system, but when "inst.selinux=0" is used SELinux will only be disabled in the installed system. Also note that while SELinux is running in the installation environment by default, it is running in permissive mode so disabling it there does not make much sense.
Controls what installation results should not be saved to the installed system, valid values are: "input_ks", "output_ks", "all_ks", "logs" and "all".
Disables saving of the input kickstart (if any).
Disables saving of the output kickstart generated by Anaconda.
Disables saving of both input and output kickstarts.
Disables saving of all installation logs.
Disables saving of all kickstarts and all logs.
The nosave option is meant for excluding files from the installed system that can't be removed by a kickstart %post script, such as logs and input/output kickstarts.
Since Fedora 19 the Anaconda installer supports third-party extensions called addons. The addons can support their own set of boot options which should be documented in their documentation or submitted here.
Enable kdump anaconda addon to setup the kdump service.
These options should still be accepted by the installer, but they are deprecated and may be removed soon.
This is an alias for inst.repo.
Use nameserver instead. Note that nameserver does not accept comma-separated lists; use multiple nameserver options instead.
These can be provided as part of the ip option.
These options are obsolete and have been removed.
Anaconda's initramfs is now is completely non-interactive, so these have been removed.
Instead, use inst.repo or specify appropriate Network Options.
You can blacklist the firewire module with modprobe.blacklist=firewire_ohci.
This option was never intended for public use; it was supposed to be used to force anaconda to use /dev/ttyS0 as its console when testing it on a live machine.
Use console=ttyS0 or similar instead. See console for details.
Dracut doesn't support wireless networking, so these don't do anything.
Who needs to force half-duplex 10-base-T anymore?
This was used to debug loader, so it has been removed. There are plenty of options for debugging dracut-based initramfs - see the dracut "Troubleshooting" guide.
Use the dracut option rd.live.check instead.
We no longer support floppy drives. Try inst.ks=hd:<device> instead.
For remote display of the UI, use inst.vnc.
All this option actually did was set TERM=vt100. The default TERM setting works fine these days, so this was no longer necessary.
ipv6 is built into the kernel and can't be removed by anaconda.
You can disable ipv6 with ipv6.disable=1. This setting will be carried onto the installed system.
Anaconda doesn't handle upgrades anymore.
Anaconda can't use this option with installable tree but only with an ISO file.

THE BOLSHEVIKS COME TO POWER
The Revolution of 1917 in Petrograd (Second Edition)
By Alexander Rabinowitch
Haymarket Books (2017, world English rights)
Trade Paper • ISBN-13: 9781608467938 • US $19.00 • 6 in x 9 in • 432 pgs.
In the months following the collapse of the tsarist regime in war-torn Russia, the Bolshevik Party emerged from obscurity to overthrow the Provisional Government and establish the world's first communist government.
Marking the centenary of the Russian Revolution with a new introduction by the author, historian Alexander Rabinowitch refutes the Soviet myth that the party's triumph in the October revolution was inevitable. In The Bolsheviks Come to Power, he challenges the long-held view of many Western historians that the Bolsheviks won primarily because of their unity, discipline, and responsiveness to Lenin's revolutionary leadership. Exploring the changing situation and aspirations of workers, soldiers, and Baltic fleet sailors in Petrograd, Rabinowitch's classic account reveals the critical link between the party's revolutionary tactics and the Petrograd masses.
This new edition, published on the occasion of the centenary of the Russian Revolution, features a new foreword by Rabinowitch.
"Superb, meticulous, detailed, exciting, indispensable."
"The best volume on the Russian Revolution in years … What is so valuable about the book is that it undoes both rigid stereotypes: that Leninism is inherently and always 'correct', pointing straight toward revolutionary triumph, and that of Leninism as always rigidly authoritarian, pointing straight toward dictatorship. A first-rate piece of work."
"Alexander Rabinowitch … has written what is perhaps the fullest and most reliable account of the Bolshevik seizure of power currently available in English … Based on a solid command of the sources, it is scholarly and well documented yet accessible to the general reader, with its clear and vigorous style and interesting illustrations … Should be read by every person interested in the Russian Revolution."
Paul Avrich, Russian Review
"The Bolsheviks Come to Power remains the best book on the 1917 Russian Revolution — a seminal study of events that shaped history for decades and continues to do so even today. Both political and social history, it greatly expands on our detailed knowledge of the turbulent events of that year, while deepening and revising our understanding of the Bolshevik Party and the social factors that brought it to power."
Stephen F. Cohen, Professor of Russian Studies and History, New York University
"[A] brilliant, convincing, and exciting book."
Stanley Plastrik, Dissent
"Essential reading … told with a narrative skill which all too few historians could match."
Robert M. Slusser, Baltimore Sun
"[Rabinowitch] draws together the sequence of events in Petrograd, the mass moods there, and the role of the party, all the while demonstrating the reciprocal effects of each set of factors on one another. … [A] vivid picture of politics in 1917."
Louis Menasche, Radical History Review
"Five crucial months in the history of the Russian Revolution are portrayed here with a wealth of new data. The Bolsheviks, lifting themselves up from a seemingly fatal slump in their fortunes in July 1917, moved to their successful bid for power in October…. Quite a number of preconceptions are dispelled in this work by Rabinowitch…. We see the Bolsheviks in action-debating, hesitating, deeply disagreeing on policies, fiercely contesting Lenin's ideas—a far cry from the monolithic avant-garde some writers still believe the Party to have been."
Moshé Lewin
"Notable… for its soundness of judgment, clarity of expression, and wealth of illuminating detail. Our understanding of what happened in 1917 has been significantly enhanced by Rabinowitch's careful research. The Bolsheviks Come to Power should be read by every person interested in the Russian Revolution."
"Rabinowitch comes to several conclusions: First, the Bolshevik program of land, peace, and bread had widespread support among the masses; he states that 'as a result, in October the goals of the Bolsheviks, as the masses understood them, had strong popular support'…. Second, the Bolshevik program achieved this popularity precisely because of the inability-or lack of desire-of other political parties to respond to these demands. Third, moderate socialist parties' continued support of Kerensky and the Provisional Government undermined their credibility in the eyes of the masses. And fourth, 'In Petrograd in 1917 the Bolshevik Party bore little resemblance to the by-and-large united, authoritarian, conspiratorial organization effectively controlled by Lenin depicted in most existing accounts'…; rather, the party was successful precisely because it was flexible and responsive to the moods of the populace, and Rabinowitch 'would emphasize the party's internally relatively democratic, tolerant, and decentralized structure and method of operation, as well as its essentially open and mass character.'"
Slavic Review
Alexander Rabinowitch is Professor Emeritus of Russian history at Indiana University, author of Prelude to Revolution: The Petrograd Bolsheviks and the July 1917 Uprising, and coeditor of Russia in the Era of NEP. His many seminal essays on the history of the revolutionary period have appeared in the United States, Russia, and Europe.

That one word, when delivered with a smile and an extended hand, can make a person's day. Especially on a Sunday morning, when church service is about to begin, people who know how to say "Welcome," and extend a hand, are needed at UUCLV.
We have 5 "neighborhoods" — Central, North, East, West and South — into which we have sorted the members (and friends) of the Congregation.
We've assigned each "neighborhood" a month, in rotation, during which Greeters, Ushers, snacks and flowers will be supplied by folks living in that neighborhood. Please refer to the Hospitality Schedule for the neighborhood assignments.

Q: Prestashop Product customizer I have an application which is a T-Shirt customizer which works very good on it's own. But I need to integrate it into prestashop. So after a user uses the application to customize a t-shirt he has to click Add to cart and the product will be added to cart with a custom price and description.
What I need is for this output to be injected into the PrestaShop cart as a custom product with all the custom information and also the generated custom product image to display next to the details in the cart.
So I have the customizer done, I have allready made a custom module and page for Prestashop but I don't know how to integrate it with the cart. My prestashop knowledge is limited.
How can I do this?

A: When you use this code in CartController.php
$this->context->cart->addTextFieldToProduct($this->id_product, $r["id_customization_field"], Product::CUSTOMIZE_TEXTFIELD, Tools::getValue('product_description'));

then you only save your custom-description in a customization field. But how do you change the price for this customization?
Of course you have to override getPriceStatic method in product.php file to recalculate the custom price. But there is also another problem: what if the customer add same product into the cart but with a different customization and also a different custom price?
Different customization-text is handeled by your used method and is therefor added correctly to the cart, but the different price calculation just overwrites the first custom price because both customizations are associated with the same product.

A: I did something similar. Here's how I dealt with it.
My module works on its own. I stored customization in the database via object model from the customizer module. Each customization have an ID.
Prestashop offers customization for each products. I hide it from the customer on the prodct page but I use it to store the ID of the customization. That way, you can see in the cart the customization ID for each customized product.
I used _addCustomization method in the Cart object to store the customization ID. Here's a small example:
$context = Context::getContext();
$result = $context->cart->_addCustomization($id_product, $id_product_attribute, 1, 1, $id_customization, 1);

Hope I'm clear enough.
Does this help you out?

Smoking is back on the menu. Behind the scenes at Yorkshire's holy smokery.
It is a bright, crisp morning and I am in the Yorkshire Dales at the Kilnsey Park Estate to find out more about its plans for The Yorkshire Holy Smokery, an artisan smoke house with links stretching back to the Cistercian monks at Fountains Abbey who lived on the estate from the 12th century.
The reputation of porridge has suffered over the years. It is often thought of as a virtuous, worthy dish.


Every pregnancy and new baby brings both joy and challenges – including lots of emotional ups and downs for mothers and other family members. Many women experience weepiness and mood swings – often called the baby blues - in the first weeks after delivery. This is normal and usually goes away without treatment in 2-3 weeks. However, some women develop more serious perinatal mood disorders including prenatal or postpartum depression or anxiety. These can begin any time during pregnancy or the first year after delivery.
Women who develop prenatal or postpartum depression or anxiety do not need to feel ashamed or alone. Perinatal mood disorders are common; treatment and support are available.
The first step is to reach out for help.
Depression is the most common complication of childbirth. One in four Oregon women report symptoms of prenatal or postpartum depression.
Perinatal mood and anxiety disorders can occur anytime during pregnancy or the first year postpartum.
Most women (80%) experience emotional swings and weepiness, often called the "Baby Blues," in the first few weeks after delivery. This is normal and usually resolves in a few weeks without treatment.
Perinatal mood disorders include: prenatal or postpartum depression or anxiety, postpartum obsessive-compulsive disorder, birth-related post-traumatic stress disorder, and a severe but rare condition called postpartum psychosis.
Dads, partners, adoptive parents, and foster parents can also experience depression or anxiety after the arrival of a new child. All parents need support and extra care during this transition.
Untreated perinatal mood and anxiety disorders can impact a mother's ability to care for herself, relate to others, bond with her infant, and parent her older children.
Children of depressed mothers are at risk for serious health, developmental, emotional, behavioral, and learning problems that can last for many years.

Season Guardians
Submitted for Contest #69 in response to: Write about someone who falls back into childish behaviors whenever they're around their family.... view prompt
Sara Blanch
Categories: Fantasy Holiday Fiction
Geniveve Stoter the 6th child of Mary and David Stoter is how she was known as back home. She was the quiet one, the good daughter. Out of a family of 5 older brothers she was the baby of the family and the only one not to have gotten into trouble with the law by the time she was eighteen. It's not that her brothers were bad people...they just got bored. Growing up in a sleepy country town that suffered serious small town syndrome meant that to add even the slightest bit of excitement in their life normally meant breaking petty laws, such as being tipsy in public or getting the bass boosted in your car only to wake up your elderly neighbours at 1 in the morning.
Geniveve had never gone through this rebellious phase...perhaps she didn't have it in her or perhaps she had left...well really been taken from home before the typical teenage phase could really kick in.
Aestas Tempus is how she was known in the wider community, in the magical community. After accidently commanding the weather to ensure a plentiful harvest for her family's farm when she was 14 years old, the magical society of Australasia had arrived and had swiftly taken her back to their prestegious training academy where she now sat on the International Board of Magical Directors as not only the youngest Guardian of the Summer Season in recorded history, but also as the youngest guardian full stop.
Whilst most 22 year olds were worrying about part time jobs, studying and figuring out romantic attachments Geniveve, or Aestas...depending on who you asked was a little preoccupied with ensuring that the Summer season was balanced with the others...and it was a lot harder than it sounded. It wasn't simply waving her hand and getting the sun out and shining and ensuring that the weather was warm for all the beach enthusiasts.
It was thousands of meetings with the other Season guardians, meetings that could last for days if one of them started nattering. It was hundreds of hours of studying the Earth's geography and weather patterns to ensure that she would help balance out not only the Summer season but to also ensure that she help contribute to the environmental sustainability of the Earth as well.
Despite the almost 24/7 availability she needed to have and only being able to visit her family every so often, she loved her job...it was as much a part of her as she was a part of it, a mutual dependence. It was one of the many reasons why she was nervous about returning home, apart from the occasional fortnightly visit she hadn't spent quality time with her family for 8 years...ever since her magical ability had been discovered.
In honour of her eldest brother's upcoming nupitals, she had been granted extended time off from her duties and was heading home for the Christmas season...which was why at half past 6am on a drizzly Tuesday morning she was waiting with her security detail for her baggage to arrive on the carousel so she could start the half hour drive from the tiny airport to the small country city that was her hometown.
Smiling politely at the gaggle of people being held back by her security detail Geniveve simply acknowledged them with a polite nod as she kept up her emotionless facade up. It wasn't that the Guardians were cold or impersonable people. It was more that they were normally so incredibly busy with their roles and weighted down with the importance of their duties that they couldn't really waste any energy on developing their social skills or making friends or small talk.
Roughly an hour later, the young Guardian was sitting awkwardly in her childhood living room as her parents sat on the couch across from her chattering about the upcoming celebrations. It wasn't that she disliked her family, she loved them more than life itself.However, the tension in the air clearly stemmed from the fact that she had spent so little time with them over the last 8 years, in their eyes she probably seemed like a stranger...like the quiet, introverted 14 year old that had left them all those years ago rather than the young 22 year old woman that sat before them today...surrounded by her security detail.
" Geni...Geniveve I do not wish to be rude huny. But...but are the suits really necessary. I mean, you are an adult now visiting your family at their house...it is hardly a dangerous situation."
Her mother coughed out an awkward laugh as she attempted to politely gesture towards the five suited men who were standing at various points throughout the family space, their faces impassive, hands behind their backs.
Looking around at her bodyguards, Geniveve simply nodded at them before looking back at her mother.
" Mother, while there is no foreseeable danger unfortunately it is necessary for them to be here due to the nature of my role. I apologise if their presence makes you uncomfortable but I can promise you that they are excellent people and are really interesting people when you get to know them."
" Aah yes, your work. The famous child prodigy, keeper of the Summer. Tell me, for someone who is in charge of the season of beach parties and holidays how do you manage to be this stuck up?"
Keeping her features neutral, Geniveve looked to the right as her second eldest brother walked through the front door...his brilliant blue eyes twinkling in amusement.
"It's good to see you sis, although I do have a bone to pick with you. Last holidays I had plans with one of the hottest chicks I've ever met to vacation at her lakeside villa. The first day was beautiful, clear skies with high 30's and a cool breeze...I had high hopes for the rest of the week. Hopes that were destroyed almost instantly that night when that breeze turned into a gale and brought in clouds that hung around for almost a fortnight...I lost my hard earned tan and the near constant drizzle curled my hair."
Fighting to keep a grin from forming, she watched as her brother...the famous womaniser smoothed back his naturally honey coloured hair he had been straightening every morning since primary school.
" It was either a fortnight of cool and wet weather, or one of the diastrous bushfire seasons this country would have ever seen. Although to be fair, I did consult with my colleagues and fought for you. I said, ' My brother is trying to pick up a girl he's never going to get and needs the hot weather to ensure maximum embarrassment on his behalf.'.."
The silence that followed her statement was potent enough that you could hear the amused chuckling of distant Kookaburras. She could feel the instant surprise of her security detail at her attempt at humour, they had probably never experienced her witty side before...a personality trait she kept hidden deep within her whilst she was around her colleagues.The Guardians weren't unfriendly...they were just more serious than most, probably because of the highly stressful nature of their work.
Her brother was the first one to break the silence, his toothy grin practically splitting his face in half as he reached the armchair where she sat in one stride. His long arms envoloping her in a warm hug as they both ignored the instant attention of her secruity.
" Welcome home sis, we've been waiting for you."

Commodore 64: history (part I)
DumpClub64
I was about 4 or 5 years old when my dad decided to buy a computer. I didn't know anything about computer; for me it was simply a magic box, with images and sounds. Connected to a 14 inches TV (luckily a color TV) by a 3 metres cable and 2 joysticks, I used to stay in front of it with these easy stupid lovely games. This is one of my best memories with my dad. If you don't mind, I would like to dedicate this novel to my dad.
The Commodore 64, the only real videogame machine of the 80s, perhaps the first real Home Computer that "forced" millions of people to forcefully enter a computer in their homes, and that made children and adults happy, a whole generation of people who, now 40 years old, fondly remember the famous 8 bit; that's why I'm proud to be part of the famous "8-bit generation".
Jack Tramiel, the father of C64
The story of the little monster of the Commodore house starts from Mr. Jack Tramiel, a Pole who survived concentration camps and became very good at repairing typewriters. His adventure began in America, in the Bronx, where in 1953 he opened an electronic repair shop. But he was not only good at repairing, he was an excellent manager, and so he also began selling his appliances, not only in America but also in Europe. His "Commodore Portable Typewriter Company" immediately began to fly, and from 55 to 60 he made excellent deals. Some wrong choices and investments made our Tramiel lose ground, who later understood that the world of the Rising Sun, with its cutting-edge and low-cost production, was becoming the new industry of the century. Returning from a profitable trip to Japan, he abandoned the production of typewriters to devote himself to electronic calculators, the future in that historical period.
One of the first calculators from Tramiel's Commodore
Tramiel's calculators, which purchased components from Texas Instruments, made a fury, giving him a turnover of about $ 50 million a year. Not bad for a Pole who emigrated to America repairing typewriters. But afterwards Texas Instruments began to produce the calculators with its chips independently, and this actually cut the legs of Tramiel and his Commodore.
All this happened in the 70s. But our entrepreneur was far from giving up, and he again changed course by acquiring electronics companies, including the famous MOS Technology, where a certain Chuck Peddle worked.
This synergy, this union, would have given birth to our beloved little C64. And not only. Towards the end of the 70s (it was 1977), the famous PET 2001, the Personal Electronic Translator, a machine considered by all the first Personal Computer, appeared in the world of computers. It was a single block, with monitor, keyboard and cassette player to load and save programs; its computing power was guaranteed by the CPU 6502, with 4K of RAM (measures so far ridiculous and unthinkable, but at the time great), a 9-inch 40X25 character screen. Together with the Italian Faggin's Zilog Z80, the 6502 was one of the most powerful and cheapest CPUs on the market.
The PET 2001 (2001 was a tribute to Stanley Kubrick's "2001 a Space Odissey")
With a price that was less than 1000 dollars, the PET 2001 was the best seller at the end of the 70's, sending Commodore in the olympus of the great electronic manufacturers.
But the problems for Tramiel were returning to be felt. Despite the success of its calculator, large houses such as Apple and Atari were offering home machines to the public with the possibility of connecting to the TV, thus overcoming the problem of small monitors with few characters that can be displayed on the screen. Apple II and Atari 800 were actually outclassing the Commodore baby. The technicians of the overseas house therefore decided to make a new technological leap forward, disassembling the old idea of "all in one", and thus designing the VIC 20.
With the power of the 6502 Processor, the new machine had 5k of RAM and 20k of ROM memory. And the very innovation for a calculator machine, the chip VIC (video interface chip) from MOS Technologies, a dedicated microchip for graphics and sound. Finally you could connect you machine to your TV-SET or to your monitor, at home. The price was so competitive (about 230 dollars) for a powerful machine like that, and no one could compete. With the initial sale of 1.000.000 units, the VIC 20 sold in the world 2.500.00 pieces. With this success, the Commodore machine opened the door to a new important market: the videogame market.
This new market oblijed the Commodore engineers to think about a powerful Personal Computer, capable of reproducing high-level images and sounds. It was the period of the arcade places, where millions of guys put a lot of coins inside the lovely arcade game machines.
In 1981, MOS began designing the new graphics and sound chips for the future Commodore gaming entertainment machine, and although the project was completed in November, Tramiel was disappointed because he claimed that the amount of RAM was 64K, despite the costs of the memories were high for production costs. He then forced the designers to run 100 meters to complete the prototype which was presented at the January '82 International Winter Consumer Electronics Show. The aggressive managerial and marketing techniques, as well as the subsequent production costs dropped drastically, would have allowed the VIC 30 …. what ?????? what are we talking about ???? Well yes. Sadly, the newcomer of the Commodore family had to be called VIC 30, but fortunately they finally decided to call it 64, in honor of the installed memory.
One of the first Commodore 64 Box-Set
He was finally born. The long-awaited C64 had come into the world, and its success still echoes to the present day. In Italy it appears at the 1982 SMAU (what do you remember !!!) and is distributed by Commodore based in Italy (Tramiel had struck again). Within a short time, it outlasted all the 8-bit competition, including the Amstrad CPC and the ZX Spectrum. Do you remember the Atari 800 and Apple II? Fully landed by the new C64 chips.
And it was not just a personal computer, but a wonderful gaming machine that thrilled us throughout the 80s and that still lives on in the Commodore kept alive and thanks to the emulators that allow us to play all the titles of this wonderful technological monster. .
These two accessories were one of the "genius of the Commodore house." Cassette player but especially floppy disk. The richest even to say it (and thanks to my dad I became a happy owner) took home a 1541 drive, capable of reading the famous 5 1/4 floppy disks, and having a loading speed significantly higher than the reader. cassette. And, amazingly for those times, the ability to play for two simultaneously, thanks to the 2 Joystick ports.
Two joystick types, sold in the early 80's. No autofire and no microswitches, but there were so lovely.
From this point on, the Commodore 64 became the gaming machine of a decade, outclassed only by its successor, the Amiga 500. In its lifetime it sold about 12-17 million units, but there are those who say that the little Tramiel family (ahem Commodore) has sold 20 million "biscuits". On an aesthetic level it was "re-edited" a couple of times, to have a more streamlined and modern line, but on the HW level it remained the same. The floppy drive was also modernized and shrunk, but the capacity of the floppies never changed. All the success of the gaming machine was accompanied by the birth and growth of the so-called "Software House", computer companies that developed video games. But I'll talk about this next time, in the second part of my article, dedicated to Commodore games and software development houses.
The Commodore 64 raised an era of young, and not so young. He brought children and adults together. In a historical moment like the present one, where the "game machine" no longer exists, outclassed by any electronic device on the market today, that gray box made us dream. And if today we are amazed by amazing graphic effects and real-time rendered graphics, I will never forget those colored pixels and that incredible sound that came out of the TV. It still lives in our memories, with events, t-shirts, gadgets and retro devices that try (in vain) to take us back to that era. Too bad that with the advent of digital, those exceptional resolutions and the sounds that came out of the "SID" chip ended up in the drawers of oblivion or in those of our homes, in the cellars. I hope that the children of now and our future can appreciate an "old" technology, which, however obsolete, has given us hours, indeed years of real play, turning on old cathode ray tube TVs, in black and white and in color, and cursing waiting for a cassette that never turned, or a floppy that loaded, to the sound of Load "*. *", 8,1

James Alexander Gordon a.k.a. "Jag" is officially retiring from reading football (soccer to us Yankees) results! The veteran sports reader has been a fixture of the BBC since 1974, Jag was the last word in results.
Just last year, the spirited announcer had NO plans of any kind to retire.
I keep telling the BBC they will have to carry me out on a stretcher. I'll die with the microphone in my hand," he said in an interview.
So then, what happened? Read on!
Very sad that James Alexander Gordon has had to retire following surgery for cancer. Saturday teatimes won't be the same.
Share the news about Gordon!
It's with great sorrow that I have to give up the most exciting part of my career, the classified football results. They have been my life.
Such fun getting it right, The most important thing, though, has been making it exciting for the listener.
But enough of this 'James'. To those of us lucky enough to work at BBC Radio Sport, he is JAG. And JAG is an institution, a legend and a gentleman all rolled into one.
James will truly be missed.
According to Telegraph, Gordon has been living the career of his dreams ever since 1974. That's a long time… nearly 40 years. The source also reports, he joined the BBC as an announcer and newsreader after a career in music publishing. The man has been all over the place.
Pass this sad news on to your football-loving friends!
I'm very sorry to announce James Alexander Gordon is to retire from reading the classified football results on BBC radio.
Guardian reports, although Gordon's final departure from the BBC is heartbreaking… he's actually been officially retired for quite some time now! He did, however, continue to stay and announce as a freelancer… probably because he loved it so much.
But, apparently not as much as his fans and listeners loved him.
James Alexander Gordon recently retired from the BBC Sport for good due to throat cancer and loss of his larynx. The announcer will be missed by millions.

Judged by Its Cover
Over the past several decades, many authors have made a concerted effort to be inclusive of other cultures in their books and with positive representation. That's why I was very disturbed to read in Publishers' Weekly that YA author Alexandra Duncan felt it her duty to cancel publication of her manuscript, Ember Days, because of cultural appropriation.
Duncan has been interested in the cultures where she lives in the south. She sought to write about the folk magic traditions of the Gullah Cheechee, and her main character is Naomi, the granddaughter of a powerful Gullah conjure woman.
When Duncan posted the book cover on Facebook, she received backlash from fellow writers, even though apparently none of them had read the manuscript. She fell victim to their comments accusing her of participating in the erasure of this group, saying to Publishers' Weekly, "I definitely struggled with whether it was okay for me to write about a culture outside my own and especially about the difficult topic of passing, which Naomi does for part of the book while going undercover in an all-white magical society…."
She added that "In my misguided attempt to write a book that was inclusive of all cultures of Charleston and the Low Country," she hadn't realized, despite her copious research and conversations about the book, her "limited worldview as a white person" led her to think she could accurately represent this culture.
She finished by saying, "Clearly, the fact that I did not see the signs of the problem with my book's premise…is evidence that I was not the right person to write this story. I am deeply ashamed…."
I think her critics are sadly mistaken and that Alexandra Duncan should not have been made to feel as though she committed the cultural crime of the century. The late mystery writer Tony Hillerman, a white man, has a whole series of books that take place on the Navajo Nation. The two main characters are Navajo Nation police officers.
Since his death, his daughter, Anne Hillerman, has carried on the series, having written five books to date. She has added a third Navajo main character, the wife of one of the officers, who is a cop with the county sheriff's department. Neither Tony nor Anne has ever been accused of cultural appropriation. Quite the contrary. This series, which is my favorite, has been on the Bestseller lists, and both Anne and her father have been lauded at book fairs throughout Arizona and New Mexico for their work.
How are authors supposed to include diverse characters in their books if they are not of those ethnicities and risk backlash as a result? Does that mean that a black author can write only about African-Americans? That he or she can't write a book with a lead character from another race?
What about an author including a person of the same race but from another time period? Almost no one who is alive today is part of any culture from prior to one hundred years ago. Should authors be prevented from writing historical novels because they are not from those time periods?
Should James Michener never have published his blockbuster novels Hawaii, Sayonara, The Bridges of Toko Ri, Poland, or any of the others that take place in different countries?
And consider James Clavell. Should he never have published his bestselling novels Shogun, Tai Pan, Noble House, or King Rat because they were set in Asia? Should Michener's and Clavell's books be banned because of "cultural appropriation"?
Another writer colleague of mine, who is Hispanic, wrote a book with a main character who was a little white girl living with her family in Tennessee during the Depression. Should she be "deeply ashamed" because she is not a little white girl from Tennessee during the Depression and therefore "not the right person to write this book"?
These ideas can be taken to extremes.
According to the Oxford Dictionary, cultural appropriation is "the unacknowledged or inappropriate adoption of the customs, practices, ideas, etc., of one people or society by members of another and typically more dominant people or society." Shouldn't accusations of cultural appropriation go to intent? Writing about a culture to educate and inform is a far cry from a white person showing up in blackface at a Halloween party.
Every author I know who writes about other cultures has people from those cultures who act as advisors and review the manuscripts to ensure accuracy. This is a needed partnership. What's wrong with the author including an Author's Note to explain the research, name the advisors, and clarify why he or she is writing about this topic?
Perhaps I am sensitive to this issue because I, too, have Navajo characters in two of my novels. While the protagonists in both are Caucasian, the male lead in one is a Navajo astrobiologist. This character was largely inspired by Fred Begay (aka Clever Fox), the first Navajo nuclear physicist, whom I interviewed decades ago and who gave me the ideas for some of the plot concepts in the book, which I have finally written and is due out next year.
In my middle-grade series, the first book takes place on the Navajo Nation. While, as I mentioned, the protagonist is white, the story has Navajo characters and seeks, as do the Hillerman books, to show the culture in a positive light and that both cultures' viewpoints of the world are valid.
Why Navajo characters? First, I have a master's degree in Cultural Anthropology. Second, the Navajo culture has proven so resilient. In 1900, because of government and religious interference, there were only 20,000 tribal members. Today, there are over 250,000. They have kept their language, religion, and traditions and even have a junior college on the reservation. That they have overcome their previous oppression and trauma should be shouted from the mountaintops.
The second book in the middle-grade series takes place in Lincoln, England. Lincoln is my ex-husband's home town and I lived there for a few years. Should I have not written this novel because I am not British?
The third book takes place at Mission San Juan Capistrano. My main character in all three books sees ghosts, and she's going encounter one who is a Native American girl killed in the 1830 earthquake. Should I not write this book because I wasn't living at Mission San Juan Capistrano in 1830 or a Native American?
My personal view is that Alexandra Duncan's book was unjustly criticized and it should be published. She shouldn't have buckled to the criticism. It would be very educational to people like me who are not from the south and have never heard of the Gullah culture or the white magical societies. If the characters were portrayed in a negative light, I could understand the opposition. But they don't seem to be and now we are going to miss out.
What a tragedy.

Summary One of the oldest amusement parks in the United States, and one of the last surviving trolley parks," Waldameer Park has provided generations with fun-filled afternoons. Originally beginning as a picnic area known as Hoffman's Grove on the banks of Lake Erie in Northwestern Pennsylvania, the Erie Electric Motor Company leased the park in 1896 and renamed it "Waldameer," translated literally as "Woods by the Sea" in German. A trolley park's main purpose was to entice people to ride the new-fangled trolley car on the weekends, and Waldameer accomplished that in spades. Initially, the park's main attraction was its beach on the lake, a popular destination for people to go and escape the heat of summer, but over the years, Waldameer Park changed and grew significantly. In the early 20th century, rides like Dip the Dips, Ravine Flyer, and Mill Run grew to be the main attractions at the park. Over the past three decades, Waldameer Park has grown into a modern amusement park, while maintaining its beloved nostalgic atmosphere. Today, visitors cool off in the Water World water park and enjoy thrill rides like the Comet, Steel Dragon, X-Scream, and Ravine Flyer II."

The Language Of Empire
Season 1 | Episode 7 | SBS | November 9, 2007
Classification: Parental Guidance
The English language pushed hundreds of local languages aside. In Australia, English was coloured by a few of the local Aboriginal words - kangaroo, koala, boomerang, barramundi, woomera and cooee. Australian-English quickly developed its own character and was shaped not so much by the local native languages but by the regional and criminal backgrounds of the early settlers.
50:54 | History
English In America | Season 1 | Episode 5 | SBS2
This episode begins with the arrival of the Pilgrim Fathers in America in 1620, and their efforts to maintain the purity of the language they spoke. They borrowed relatively little from the natives, and the regional accents of the early settlers blended to produce a much more uniform sound than was the case in their homeland. Later, Scots and the Irish added their influence.
This Earth, This Realm, This England | Season 1 | Episode 4 | SBS2
The fourth program visits the England of Queen Elizabeth the First, and shows how naval enterprise and foreign trade brought scores of new words into the language - anchovy from Spain, ketchup form Malay, and knapsack from Dutch are just three familiar exports from this time. We see how scholars were bringing new Latin terms into the language, and how there was a movement to stop this and keep English pure if it had succeeded, we might now say ungothroughsome instead of impenetrable. We visit Penshurst Place, home of the Sidney family, to see how poetry joined swordplay as a proper attribute of any up-and-coming young man. And we travel to the South Bank of the Thames and to Stratford-upon-Avon to find out how Shakespeare's English really sounded, and how he combined the languages of the common people and the aristocracy to take English to new heights and to invent so many memorable words and phrases that it seems - as a modern spectator said of Hamlet - that his plays are full of quotations.
The Battle For The Language Of The Bible | Season 1 | Episode 3 | SBS2
Recounts the story of how English became the language of the English church. The long uphill battle begins with John Wycliffe and the first English translation of the Bible and the program goes on to describe how in the time of Henry V, political necessity made English the language of state, and how the work of the Chancery and later of the printers, helped to codify it.

Q: Display Advanced Custom Field for Woocommerce applied to subcategory on parent category I have an advanced custom field set up to show on a woocommerce subcategory that allows the user to define a colour via the color picker field.
This field will apply that colour to a number of elements related to that sub category (Styling the sub category thumbnail, the product page itself etc).
Im currently using as per the the ACF documentation this code to pull the field in and display it on the subcategory page:
$term = get_queried_object();
$color = get_field('colour', $term); // Get ACF Field

This works fine until it comes to the parent category for the sub pages. I am unable to call the field in for the sub categories of the parent. I understand I need to use get_terms(). I am unable ot get that working though.
This is some code I found which I have added to the loop on content-product_cat.php. However it just breaks the woocommerce loop. What would I need to do to this code to get the parent category page to show all the child subcategories each with its related color field?
// current term
$current_term = get_queried_object();

// child terms
// this returns an array of terms
$args = array(
  'taxonomy' => 'YOUR TAXONOMY HERE',
  'parent' => $current_term->term_id,
  // you may need other arguments depending on your needs
);
$child_terms = get_terms($args);

// you need to maybe loop through the child terms gotte
// to pick which one you want to use
// I'm assuming that you only want to use the first one

$child_term = false; // set it to false to begin with
                     // we'll use this later
if ($child_terms) {
  $child_term = $child_terms[0];
}

// make a decision
if ($child_term) {
  // get field value(s) from child term
  $color = get_field('color', $child_term);
} else {
  // get field value(s) from current term
  $color = get_field('color', $current_term);
}

// do something with the values
echo $color;

A: I found the solution here:
https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/a/341632
add_action('woocommerce_after_subcategory_title', 'wpse_add_custom_text_under_category_title', 10);

function wpse_add_custom_text_under_category_title($category) {
   $term_id = 'product_cat_'.$category->term_id;
   the_field('krotki_opis_kategorii', $term_id);
}

From Alex Uleberg:
get_queried_object_id on shop archive page it will return the id of the page and not the category. When you use the hook, the $category object will be passed in through the hook.

Novartis Partners with French CDMO for CAR-T-Cell Therapy Mfg
Dr. Reddy's To Appeal Injunction Against Anti-Opioid Dependence Drug
Novartis has signed an agreement with CELLforCURE, a contract development and manufacturing organization and part of the biopharmaceutical company, LFB, to produce chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapies at CELLforCURE's bioproduction site in Les Ulis, France. The company says that production could start in 2019 following the transfer of Novartis' manufacturing technology to CELLforCURE.
CELLforCURE is a company specializing in t cell and gene therapies, and it has an industrial platform located in Les Ulis, France for producing cell- and gene therapies. Established as a pharmaceutical company in 2013, CELLforCURE, operates a contract development and manufacturing organization. The company obtained two GMP certificates from the French health authority, Agence Nationale de Sécurité du Médicament et des Produits de Santé, in 2016 for producing experimental and commercial therapy drugs.
Novartis says the decision to manufacture CAR-T therapies in commercial and clinical phases in France is part of its global supply strategy. Between 2015–2019, Novartis invested over EUR 900 million ($1.05 billion) on the expansion of its center in Huningue, France, the construction of a new head office building in Rueil-Malmaison, France, as well as research and development projects.
CELLforCURE will be responsible for producing CAR-T therapies, which are considered a type of personalized medicine. The manufacturing process used by CELLforCURE in France will be the same technology and process developed by Novartis at its site in Morris Plains, New Jersey.
To produce CAR-T cells, a patients' T-cells (white blood cells called lymphocytes) are collected using a specialized procedure known as "leukapheresis" and then frozen in a process called cryopreservation. The cells will be transferred to the Les Ulis, France site, where scientists will modify the cells so that they can recognize specific receptors that are part of cancer cells. The patient's cells will be infused back into the hospitalized patient. In responding patients, the reprogrammed cells multiply to identify and destroy tumor cells which were previously unrecognizable for the immune system.
Novartis' Kymriah (tisagenlecleucel), its CAR-T therapy, was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration in August 2017 for treating B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) that is refractory or in second relapse or later. It was later approved in May 2018 by the FDA for treating relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphoma after two or more lines of systemic therapy, including diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) not otherwise specified, high grade B-cell lymphoma, and DLBCL arising from follicular lymphoma. In June 2018, Kymriah was recommended for approval by an advisory committee of the European Medicines Agency for treating two B-cell malignancies: B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) that is refractory, in relapse post-transplant or in second or later relapse in patients up to 25 years of age and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) that is relapsed or refractory after two or more lines of systemic therapy in adults. If approved by the European Commission, Kymriah will be the first CAR-T cell therapy available in the European Union for both DLBCL and B-cell ALL, according to information from the companies.
