GURDIAL SINGH - Translated from the original Punjabi by NIRUPAMA DUTT
Award winning fiction writer Sardar Gurdial Singh (1933 - 2016) passed away on Tuesday, August 16, 2016.
The woman had just got off the train and was standing at the station looking about her uncertainly. Bantu leaned forward to look at her. His eyesight was weak and he couldn't quite make out people from afar. When he came closer, he felt that the woman might actually be Jai Kaur.
"Who is there?"
"It's I, Jai Kaur."
"How come you are here?" Bantu said this and his face lit up.
Jai Kaur hesitated for a moment and then said, 'I have come from the city. The older daughter-in-law has been admitted in the hospital there."
"Is all well?"
"Yes, she is going to deliver a baby."
"Come, let's walk to the village together."
Jai Kaur did not know how to react to this invitation. The sun was setting and it would be dark by the time they reached the village. Luckily, no one else had got off here.
Never had the train reached so late. Normally, it arrived well before sunset but today it was running late. She had first thought of staying back for the night at her niece's home in the town. But she felt like visiting her village and so here she was.
She glanced at Bantu. His eyes were shining and his face looked gentle.
"All right, let's move on," Jai Kaur said summoning up courage.
When Bantu took a long stride, the bundle of goods on his head almost slipped off. Holding on to it with both hands, he jumped as though he was trying to control a runaway animal. Then he murmured something and smiled to himself.
"So what else, Jai Kaur?" Bantu asked in an excited tone as they moved on. "Is all well?"
"Yes, by the grace of the Guru all is well."
"Thanks be to the Lord."
Then Bantu coughed. He looked around at the soothing sight of the setting sun, pink and orange, spread out on the horizon and felt a deep joy. But seeing the tall shoots of millet shining in the half light, he lowered his gaze again.
The world was still but at times the sparrows hiding in the wild plants would stir on hearing their footsteps and start chirping. When they stopped chirping, it would be still and calm again. For a long distance Bantu walked on, hearing Jai Kaur's footsteps as she followed him. The sound of her feet seemed to him like the music of the cymbals in the Gurdwara.
"It must be many years since we last met, Jai Kaur?"
"Yes," Jai Kaur whispered back.
"I think for the past six or seven years you have been living with your younger nephew in Rajasthan," said Bantu.
Jai Kaur looked up at Bantu and was quite taken aback at the toll the years had taken on him. He had stopped and was shaking out the sand that had got into his shoes.
His eyes were glowing with the rosy tint of the fading sun. But seeing his white beard, Jai Kaur's mind came to rest. She no longer felt shy or afraid of Bantu. It was as though she had not realised till this very moment that Bantu had grown so old. When Bantu laughed and moved on she was behind him and could see him closely from head to toe. Bantu's calves had shrivelled up and looked like dry sticks. The flesh on his neck was sagging. His back was bent, his shoulder blades jutted out like the horns of a calf and his clothes were very dirty.
Just then the other Bantu, from the past, stood before her eyes. Bantu was as handsome as a king. He was tall and well built. He had a broad chest; his eyes glowed like embers and it was difficult to bear their gaze. This was the Bantu she recalled.
Jai Kaur's heart started beating fast and she anxiously glanced at Bantu. But the next moment a laugh escaped her lips.
"How come you have become so weak?" Jai Kaur asked, her pitying voice breaking the silence between them. "Have you been ill or something?"
Bantu heaved a deep sigh and said, "What do I tell you, Jai Kaur? Things are really bad."
"Never mind, don't lose heart so," Jai Kaur consoled him. "This is the story of every home. It is not easy to take care of the family and make ends meet."
"That's true, Jai Kaur, but the times are so bad that no one cares for the other. I am too old to run about doing such chores. Ten years ago I divided the land among my sons. Soon after, they stopped caring for me. My two daughters-in-law are such wretches that they will get what they can out of this old man but not even bother to give him water to bathe or wash his clothes. But then who is one to blame, fate decides our lot."
Bantu seemed so like a little boy who had been beaten at home and was complaining to a sympathetic ear.
"Never mind, don't let fate break you so!" Jai Kaur said in a firm voice. "Just look at me. I don't even have my own home and have to live at the mercy of others. God did not answer my prayers. Now I have to live with my nephews.
"It was different when my brothers were alive. Everyone in this world is unhappy. Hasn't Guru Nanak said that sorrow is the lot of the world? But what is one to do? We reap what we sow. The quality of the seed decides the richness of the harvest, such is the destiny of life."
Jai Kaur kept talking and Bantu's troubled soul found some solace. The only way to overcome sorrow is to share it with others. It was all the more important that he was sharing this with Jai Kaur because the two had a deep understanding between them.
Bantu glanced to the left. The different red hues of the sun had merged in the darkness and a few tiny stars were twinkling in the sky. The breeze had stopped blowing and one could not even hear the rustle of a leaf. The path had become narrow and Jai Kaur followed him unafraid. Jai Kaur's firm voice, her full body, broad brow, fair complexion and drooping features, which nevertheless had a feminine attraction, were appealing and Bantu wanted to stop and have a good look at her.
"Jai Kaur, this is our field," Bantu said as he rubbed his feet together and shook the dust from his shoes again, pointing to the standing cotton crop. "We have sown five and a half tons of seed right up to that tahli tree there."
Jai Kaur stopped at once. Her heart was beating loudly and her breath was heavy. The tahli Bantu was pointing to was the same one which had witnessed an exchange between the two of them thirty or thirty-five years ago. It was under this tree that Bantu had stopped her and held her arm. For a moment Jai Kaur had been scared but then she had felt that Bantu should hold on to her forever!
Recalling that moment Jai Kaur got goose pimples all over her body. Bantu stood still while pretending to clean his shoes and he stared at her with his eyes wide open. Jai Kaur glanced back at him and then lowered her gaze.
She was suddenly afraid of Bantu and found his wrinkled face odious.
"There beyond the tahli is the millet crop," Bantu said as though he too was recalling his old mischief. "I had asked them to sow cotton there but you would know well that no one listens to the old folks."
"Never mind, never mind."
"Jai Kaur, do you know my father was going to sell this tree at the time of my marriage? But I said that nothing doing. I told him that he could pawn the land but I would not let him touch the tahli."
Jai Kaur felt a wave of sensation pass through her body. Why was Bantu going on about the tahli? When they started walking again Jai Kaur slowed down to distance herself a little from him. Bantu could no longer hear her footsteps. He stopped in his tracks, turned around and glanced back.
"Come along, come along now for we are nearly there,"
Bantu said to her. "Look there's the village. Now we don't have to walk much."
Jai Kaur looked up and saw that the village was indeed not too far away. She took a few quick steps and joined Bantu. "Jai Kaur, ever since your sister-in-law died, I have felt there is no point in my living on thus."
Hearing him refer to his wife as her sister-in-law and thus indicating that he was like her brother, a laugh escaped Jai Kaur's lips.
"Well, Jai Kaur!" Bantu said again. "Things do change with time. When we were young, we never remembered God but now one appeals to him to end this existence. But death doesn't come for the asking."
"Don't talk like this. Why are you wishing for death just yet?" Jai Kaur intervened. "Don't you want to see the weddings of your grandchildren and don't you want to play with your great-grandchildren? The touch of a great-grandchild ensures deliverance."
Jai Kaur's words had a strange impact on Bantu. He wanted to die at one moment and live at another moment.
"You are right in what you say. But what is the point of dragging my feet through life? Everyone in the family is always shooing me away. No one wants to give me two small meals a day."
Jai Kaur found that Bantu was indeed telling the truth. She felt the same deep understanding that they had discovered together thirty or thirty-five years ago. At that time they were both young and single. They were no longer young but were single even today, living at the mercy of others. For twenty long years she had hoped and prayed that she would have a child but no god or goddess, sage or mendicant, answered her prayers. Her husband's sudden death ended all hope. For the past seven years, she'd been going for a few days to her husband's family and then returning again to the doors of her nephews. She had to be subservient to them all for two square meals a day.
"I survive by serving my children and grandchildren. Otherwise they would have cast me away with a cot to the shed in the fields long ago."
Bantu was still carrying on with his sob story and was sinking into the depths of self-pity once again.
"Jai Kaur, this is no life! And when I die, no one will even remember me. Such is the lot of a lone man."
Bantu talked on but Jai Kaur was no longer listening.
She was looking at the lit lamps of the village that seemed to her like flames rising from a funeral pyre.
She turned around to look at Bantu. His thin legs were lost in the darkness and his shrivelled-up body was wavering. Jai Kaur felt very sorry for him.
"All right, Bantu, I will take the outer path to the village," she said and added, "Do not fret so much. Let us laugh away the last few days of our lives. Nothing is going to change now so why crib all the time?"
"That's true, that's true!" Bantu said and turned to take the other path to the village.

A Short Story "

Don't mean to shut down any wiz hope, but here are some insights.
DH no longer use M6 in future GRs. They will be using UE6 along with max disc gear, using Kridershot and Meticulous Bolt. Therefore, they need to be completly regeared.
Deadman's Legacy on seasons is a completely useless item, because no one will be using Multishot, they will be using Elemental Arrow, ball of lightning.
In terms of damage output, a fully optimized lightning UE6 DH will do 3x the dmg as pre 2.2 Fire M6 CB DH with zdog (see DH forums for thread), If the pre 2.2 GR cap is 65 on NA, you are probably looking at GR72+ clears end game Era 3.
Wizs need to wake up.
Fully aware of this build.
fairly certain top DH already have several Mbolt from 2.1 era with disc, as well as a usable ancient krider.
The challenge is to get disc and high dmg on ancient krider, 15%~ more dmg with 12 more disc. Gathering the optimized UE set shouldn take that long. I suspect 67-68 on NA will be cleared within 2 weeks or so. The power gap will start to enlarge, starting next week.
That's my predictions, but I ll let the facts speak for themselves in a few weeks.
Same build as in 2.1.2, you just run full M6 instead of RoRG.
What is the generator ? Still use LFB as spender?
Doesn't really matter much which generator, most people use focus just because it is the most hatred.
I have an ancient kridershot but with a native socket roll =(, it is 4 hatred at least..., anyway was just wondering what the best meticulous bolts rolls are, have one with dex, 20 ias, 15% elemental arrrow, 7%rcr and vit I think, can rerolll vit to 10 chc, non ancient, 34% ball speed, are this ones good? And what are the best rolls?
This is why Met bolts are so hard to get and why people saying they are easy to get is a) stupidly lucky or b) stupid.
M6 and TR6 will definitely rule the LB's early on until people start getting UE set + complimentary items. Atm it's just a matter of wizards farming the top end gear and actually trying to group up and do higher GRs.
no one has even tried pushing top GR's with wizards yet. Roger's wiz was using completely unoptimized gear (non ancient, no tal's set) and still managed 59. With Tal's set (~6.7 effective multiplier) and ancient gear (30% dps increase), you'll likely see an increase of ~14-16 GRs, placing us in the mid-70's. I think that's a good place to be.
What do you mean by no tals set? What gear did he use to clear that 59 then?, 59 isn't easy.
standard firebird 6 + avoid's dual hydra build.
fully optimized BLUE DH will do 3x the damage of 2.1.2 fire m6, which has no access to focus/restraint (a big part of UE damage). With the addition of F+R into m6 calculations, the damage is more like 50-75% more.
In 2.1.2, there was a very little known wizard build that could output even more DPS than m6 in certain situations at full tilt. With F+R and tal's, it will output at least twice a fully optimized BLUE DH in dense AoE situations and be about 1/2-2/3 as effective on the RG.
Isn't that very optimistic? I mean bugged barb in PTR only managed GR70 and they were already stronger than Tals at that point. I can definitely see Tal's pushing mid 60s but mid 70s might be a far reach.
Nah. nah. that's defeatist thinking.
We got half a set's pieces (or more for non-PTR savy players) and another full set to gear. We got fire elemental % to regear (off).
DH has at best 4 pieces to farm, same elements as always used.
We got more farming to do to catch up, but we will and soon 2 DH instead of 1 DH + Wiz will under perform.
I just ran a 54 in 3 player with wizard as dps (zdps crusader + zdps wd). Went extremely smoothly.
Wizards are better than last patch, period.
I think Wizards will be on the leaderboards, just not on the top. DHs harder to gear, but considerably more powerful. Id guess Wizards top out about....63, maybe.
On the leaderboards? Sure. Competitive? Dont think so. Not yet.
Wizard is in the exact same place as previous patches. They got a boost, while other classes got a larger boost.
I can see a Wiz / Wiz team doing low - mid 60s, DH / Wiz team doing mid 60s, and DH DH team doing early to mid 70s. In that case, no one will play wiz for competitive content just like before.
Another critical flaw wizards seem to forget is the their broken 2nd life passive, which is extremely unfriendly for higher group GRs.
But nonetheless, no die hard wiz will believe that for now, or admit they are wrong, only facts prove them wrong few months later, they go into silent, defensive and whining mode. It has happened 2-3 times since RoS, it will happen again.
time will tell. Let's come back to this post in 2 months and see who was in error.
Of course, wizards may not be in the top clear. But my feeling is that we will be in the top 5.
Been working on this. Got it answered on the dev QA. I actually caught flak in chat for asking about it. "Just pick a better passive" they said.
Ya now tell them the down side.
It's centered on flame blade buff and that buff drop's to crap on single target Greater Rift boss fighting.
So basically a good AOE clearer and bad single target dmg.
If we could somehow squeeze a 2 piece firebird into our build, that will solve the Unstable 2nd life passive.
Right now, I completed GR 51. That's no where near our limit. With the right tuning, I can see the wizards catching Gaby (GR solo 55). So many new items, sets. We still haven'T figured everything I believe. Tals set is probably the best thing that happened in a long (and I must admit I was wrong from my initial PTR testings...).

Q: Odoo 8 - an Odoo client JavaScript error when trying to display workflow diagram I am using Odoo 8 on Ubunutu. When trying to display diagram view for a particular workflow (example Settings->Workflows->Workflows->account.invoice.basic) I am getting an error message:
Odoo Client Error
TypeError: viewclass is not a constructor
http://127.0.0.1:8069/web/js/web.assets_backend/280e51f:3141

or this error when in Debug mode:

and the diagram is not displayed.
This is the code snipped from views.js and line 699 is where "new viewclass(...)" is.
do_create_view: function(view_type) {
        // Lazy loading of views
        var self = this;
        var view = this.views[view_type];
        var viewclass = this.registry.get_object(view_type);
        var options = _.clone(view.options);
        if (view_type === "form" && this.action && (this.action.target == 'new' || this.action.target == 'inline')) {
            options.initial_mode = 'edit';
        }
'line 699   var controller = new viewclass(this, this.dataset, view.view_id, options);

I am also getting the same error when trying to see Calendar View, Graph View, Gantt View in Manufacturing->Manufacturing Orders.
Debugging view.js reveals that "this.registry.get_object(view_type)" is returning NULL for view_type='diagram' making viewclass = NULL.
What causes this error and how I can eliminate it?

A: Use your odoo code from standard source, Like https://github.com/odoo/odoo.git

In the framework of the European co-funded project SWITCH Travel, cities and experts met in Donastia San Sebastian, Spain, to discuss about how to promote active travel and increase physical activity. Residents from five European cities are to change their transport habits for short journeys to walking and cycling. This project will help set an example and draw a methodology for personalised travel planning to foster alternative transport in urban areas.
European cities' challenges to reduce congestion in their centre, improve air quality and reduce noise pollution are becoming central in urban mobility policy. They aim to circumvent car focused transport planning of the last decade and to promote alternative travel modes.
A SWITCH to walking and cycling would respond appropriately in city needs by improving urban quality of life and developing healthier lifestyle in centres.
In this perspective, an enthusiastic group of fourteen European partners has joined forces to target people in a period of life change to modify travel behaviour and draw specific methodology offering viable options for alternative travel choices.
The full text of the letter and list of signatories is accesible here.
SWITCH is a two‐year project started in June 2014 which has received funding from the European Commission.
The project consortium is composed by 5 city partners, notably Antwerp ﴾BE﴿, Borough of Houslow in London (UK﴿, Donostia San Sebastian ﴾ES﴿, Gdansk ﴾PL﴿ and Vienna ﴾AT﴿, and 9 expert partners: BOKU - University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna Institute for Transport Studies, Walk21, European Cyclists' Federation (ECF), Rupprecht Consult, National Institute of Public Health of the Republic of Slovenia (NIJZ), European Integrated Projects (EIP), Intelligent Health, and Polis.

Dyckerhoff AG, a 150 years old producer of cement and concrete has deployed Fiorano ESB to optimize their logistics

                    Dyckerhoff AG, a 150 years old producer of cement and concrete operating across Europe and other continents, has deployed Fiorano ESB to optimize their logistics, "just in time" operations and intelligently integrate centralized SAP systems with multiple suppliers and partners.

                    The IT landscape of Dyckerhoff is dominated by an SAP ERP system, together with additional SAP applications and a variety of heterogeneous specialty software, including laboratory and recipe management involving data exchanges with legacy production systems. As Dyckerhoff did not have an existing internal ESB (Enterprise Service Bus) infrastructure, they made the decision to bring in an enterprise-class infrastructure solution to integrate their centralized SAP systems with multiple supplier and partner SAP systems across Europe, among others.

                    Dyckerhoff evaluated various integration platforms including those from Software AG, IBM and Oracle. After a detailed Proof of Concept and careful review of the proposed offers Dyckerhoff concluded that Fiorano ESB was the best match for its requirements because of its unique distributed, asynchronous architecture.

About Fiorano Software

                    Founded in 1995, Fiorano is a trusted provider of enterprise integration middleware, high performance messaging and distributed systems. Fiorano's innovative event-driven SOA platform integrates applications and complex technologies into an enterprise nervous system.

                "The most evident advantage of Fiorano is the ability to "halt" the whole communication/choreography scenario at any state of a process for debugging. This very helpful debugging feature is implemented in Fiorano in a very intelligent manner. Under our stress tests, Fiorano has shown superiority in a majority of aspects and is the product of our choice, technically and commercially"

IT has become a universal term defining the hope that we will return to a pre-COVID-19 existence, or at least a sense of normality. However, for workplaces and their employees, the truth is that we must prepare not for a "new normal" but for continued unpredictability and a new, abnormal life. So, how do we traverse this new shifting landscape? Well we can look to the fundamental workplace practices of gaining trust, building and maintaining resilience, openly communicating and supporting one another. At AccessEAP, one of Australia's leading employee assistance programs, we provide workplaces with advice and support for mental wellbeing every day. Here's our advice on how to take inspiration from workplace psychology to thrive in the new abnormal. With one in five Australians already vulnerable to mental health issues, a good place to start is by looking at how you can understand and support your team and family, while taking accountability for your own and their resilience. This behaviour starts with you. It's important to look after your own psychological health and acknowledge that you won't be able to please all of the people all of the time. However, focusing on physical and mental wellbeing, while earning trust and communicating clearly will empower everyone to better manage the abnormalities of modern life. At the workplace and at home, clear communication is key. Research on building trust with stakeholders found that 42 per cent of CEOs believed it was important to communicate regularly and 35 per cent that leaders should be transparent and honest. So, if CEOs who look after the mental health of entire workforces think communication is key. Then it will probably work for you. It's important to calmly and confidentially provide clarity to those around you on how you are coping and what you need and why. There's an abnormal number of competing priorities to staying afloat in these turbulent times, so it's easy as an employee and especially as a leader, to become siloed and not gather feedback or listen. This fractious period has highlighted just how important it is to connect with your peers to understand that you are not alone and to learn from each other. We can all learn from businesses and by taking a leaf out of their book to build trust and focusing on people, we can better to cope with the constant changes of "the new abnormal" that will unfold in the coming months and years.

A War of Flowers by Jane Thynne
by Shiny New Books	| Posted on April 9, 2015 July 1, 2020
Reviewed by Elaine Simpson-Long
This is the third in a series of books featuring Clara Vine, a film actress in pre-war Berlin. If you have not read the earlier titles Black Roses and The Winter Garden then I do urge you to do so before reading this latest title as the narrative then makes more sense.
The all pervading sense of tension and fear in Berlin at this time seeps through the pages: watching everything you say or do, choosing your friends and acquaintances carefully in case you fall foul of the ever-watchful party officials. Life is bleak and expressed in shades of grey and shadows and rain and dark corners. It makes for gripping and nerve-wracking reading.
The febrile atmosphere coming from the Chancellery transmitted itself to passing pedestrians, who glanced across apprehensively as they passed by. Even the breeze seemed nervous, chivvying the leaves along the gutters …..
Clara's father is an pro-German English politician and this, initially, gives her the entrée into the social circle surrounding the Nazi party. As her film career becomes more successful she becomes involved with the party wives. The internecine rivalry between the acolytes surrounding Hitler and the jealousies amongst these wives all struggling to achieve eminence over their rivals makes for intriguing reading. Real live people are introduced into the stories: in a previous title we met Unity Mitford and the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, and in this title we meet Coco Chanel, who I did not realise was quite so pro-Nazi as she appears here.
In A War of Flowers Goebbels has become increasingly suspicious that Clara has been mingling with Berlin society and then passing snippets of information on to her contacts in the British embassy. He is right but cannot prove it and the knowledge of his mistrust puts Clara on her guard and increases her fear of discovery.
As she crossed the Odeonsplatz, Clara experienced a distinct, subliminal disquiet. It was an instinct she had developed, a prickling between her shoulders that told her she was under surveillance. Accompanying it was the acid twist of fear.
She is approached by an undercover British operative who asks her to befriend Eva Braun and to pass on anything interesting that she can discover. Fortunately, Eva is a film fan, so Clara is able to make contact with her and an unlikely friendship develops.
The character of Eva Braun is an intriguing one and the lengths to which Hitler kept the relationship under wraps because he was 'wedded to the Reich' are complicated and many. When Eva was at the Chancellery she was kept in her rooms, albeit luxurious ones, not allowed to be seen, and had to enter and exit by a side door. Her home is isolated and though she has a direct telephone line which connects directly to the Berghof 'the trouble is that the SS installed it which means it connects directly to an awful lot of other people too' She is lonely too even when she is with Wolf (Hitler) 'we're never alone … the wives hate me. They call me the blonde cow.'
I found Eva rather sweet and naïve. I have read very little about her (soon to be remedied) but I felt great pity for this young woman caught up in this life with no chance of escape. She tried to kill herself at least once and paid the ultimate price, as we know, for her relationship with Hitler. The author seems to take a sympathetic view of her and Clara finds herself pitying her also.
This is a tense and gripping story and I am going to say little more as I do not wish to give away the plot, and details of Clara's mission. She knows she is in great danger but decides to stay in Berlin and do everything in her power to protect her country.
This is a series which I hope will run and run.

Q: Command-line perl regex replacement: replacement string contains utf8 Say you have a file named test.txt with the following lines:
ಕದಂ.ಬ
कदम्ब.

Then, suppose you want to replace each dot following a devanagarI unicode character (ie in कदम्ब) with a ।. Then, you might think that the following would work:
find . -name 'test.*' | xargs perl -w -i -C -p -e 's/(\p{Devanagari})\./$1।/g'

But it doesn't (I see the dot in the end replaced with ।).
How to fix the above?
Edit: The below works, but I wanted something more readable:
find . -name 'test*'|xargs perl -C -w -i -p -e 's/(\p{Devanagari})\./$1\x{0964}/g'

(This is a follow up to this question.)

A: You have to tell perl that the script body contains UTF8 chars:
$ perl -w -C -p -e 's/(\p{Devanagari})\./$1।/g' test.txt
ಕದಂ.ಬ
कदम्ब।

$ perl -Mutf8 -w -C -p -e 's/(\p{Devanagari})\./$1।/g' test.txt
ಕದಂ.ಬ
कदम्ब।

Upstate Rug Supply Is Your Go-to for Antique Carpets in Hudson

The Hudson Valley company specializes in antique rugs that are more than 100 years old, handwoven, and made from vegetable dyes.
Turning a hobby into a thriving business during a global pandemic sounds like a pipe dream. But Joanna Mahserdjian has made it a reality with her Hudson-based antique rug store, Upstate Rug Supply.
The store and its success are testaments to Mahserdjian's passion for antique rugs. Drawn to their unique history and texture, she realized she also had a natural eye for identifying genuine pieces, be they Caucasian, Persian, Turkish or tribal. Unlike vintage rugs, antique rugs are more than 100 years old, handwoven, and made from vegetable dyes (vintage rugs contain fake dyes).
While raising her three young boys, Mahserdjian began collecting antique rugs and selling to friends and through word of mouth. Over the years, she built a website, learned the basics of social media, and took the rugs online — all from her dining room.
As her reputation as an experienced antique rug dealer grew, so did her dream to evolve to a brick-and-mortar. That dream came to fruition in March 2020 when she opened The Shop — a spacious and intriguing treasure trove on Hudson's Warren Street that she shares and co-owns with the owners of Ida's Eye and The Modern Exchange, two female-run businesses that specialize in antique furniture and lighting.
Upstate Rug Supply's rugs grace the floors of private homes and pages in interior design catalogs.
The Shop's grand opening should have been a time of celebration, but instead it was one of concern: It coincided with Hudson's pandemic lockdowns. But since re-opening last June, the business is thriving. Mahserdjian's antique rugs now adorn homes and properties in the city, across the region, and beyond, and feature in exclusive photo shoots by renowned interior designer Emily Henderson.
Mahserdjian hand-selects each rug and currently boasts an inventory of more than 300. But if she doesn't have what you're looking for, fear not: She'll find it for you. Mahserdjian is a regular at flea markets, and she's frequently contacted by collectors nationwide and people settling family estates. And for anyone wishing to take full advantage of her expert eye, she'll happily visit your home to advise on the appropriate rug for the space being transformed.
"I love that the business has grown so organically," says Mahserdjian. "Being in Hudson has launched me into another realm, and everyone's been so supportive. I've had a great first year here, and I'm excited for another!"

Surprising Serradori denies Alonso a first Dakar stage win
Driver Mathieu Serradori, of France, and co-driver Fabian Lurquin, of Belgium, race their Century during stage seven of the Dakar Rally between Riyadh and Wadi Al Dawasir, Saudi Arabia, on January 12, 2020. (AP)
Reuters Monday, 13 January 2020
Double Formula One world champion Fernando Alonso came close to a first Dakar Rally stage win on Monday after finishing second to French amateur Mathieu Serradori in the 477km loop around Wadi al-Dawasir in Saudi Arabia.
Fellow Spaniard Carlos Sainz, in a Mini buggy, saw his overall lead to Qatar's defending champion Nasser Al-Attiyah trimmed to six minutes and 40 seconds after the eighth stage in the southern dunes.
The motorcycle riders had their stage cancelled as a mark of respect following the death on Sunday of popular Portuguese veteran Paulo Goncalves.
American Ricky Brabec, on a Honda, leads Chilean Pablo Quintanilla by 24 minutes.
The absence of motorcycle tracks, with the riders usually preceding the cars, made navigation more tricky through the dunes.
SRT Racing's Serradori, a former biker who dedicated his stage win to Goncalves, took advantage of the tracks laid by others to become the first amateur in 32 years to beat the professional drivers and teams.
Alonso, in his first Dakar with former motorcycle winner Marc Coma alongside, could also claim the drive of the day with a time quicker than all the favourites with their years of experience of desert driving.
"I didn't know if in the Dakar I would be half an hour behind the biggest specialists, and being close to them on days like this, even ahead of them, was not in any of my sensible goals," said the Toyota driver.
The Spaniard, also a two-time Le Mans 24 Hours winner, moved up to 13th overall after finishing four minutes behind Serradori and said it had been an amazing day. His previous best in a stage was fourth.
"We had one puncture unfortunately and we lost a little bit of momentum there, but otherwise the stage was nearly perfect and Marc was unbelievable, you know in the dunes, the navigation," he said.
"It seems that I can get a good rhythm, a good flow in the dunes and I'm enjoying so far this second week of the Dakar," added Alonso, who lost two and a half hours with a broken wheel and suspension on day two.
In the truck category, Russian Andrey Karginov took his third successive stage victory and had a 27-minute lead over Kamaz team mate Anton Shibalov.
The rally, one of the toughest events on the motorsport calendar, ends in Qiddiya on January 17.

You're as likely to encounter a donkey as you are a car on your way to the village square: that fabled 'old' Spain is still alive and kicking.
Emma and David, entranced by the sweeping views to the south, bought a huge village house and adjacent buildings here and have created a harmonious, organic and soothing series of living spaces and rooms that strike just the right balance between authenticity and comfort.
Light floods into the living/dining room through high windows: the view to the south, out across steeply terraced hillsides to the distant Mediterranean, is enticing.
This is the sort of place where you slow down, pick up the novel you've been meaning to read, and fantasise about making that move to Spain.
Fabulous hikes go straight out from the house; you can book an all-inclusive week with local transport and route maps. And even if walking isn't your thing, this is a great place to kick back.


The Green Grotto Caves are exhibit caves and a popular vacationer attraction on the northern coastline of Jamaica. Titled for the green algae that cover its surfaces, the shape of the cave is noticeably distinctive from inland systems; the cave is a Flank Border Cave (old mixing chambers close to the fresh water lens along with the sea water) together with two clear levels obviously suggesting two times with varying sea-levels. This innermost cavern contains a crystal-clear subterranean lake.
When Jamaica was a English Colony the caves were used as a hideaway by the Spanish who had been being pushed out by the English settlers.
The caves had been also known to have been utilized by runaway slaves, and so the name Runaway Caves.
Between the two world wars they were utilized by smugglers operating arms to Cuba, whilst in the later years of the WW2 the Government of Jamaica used the entry ways of the cave as a storeroom for rum in barrels.

Logo and Secondary Logo Use
Responsibility: Associate Vice-President, Communications
Approval Date: Jul 30, 2015
To ensure the correct official primary logo and/or secondary logo(s) are used to represent the University of Saskatchewan in all instances, whether internal or external, and whether commercial or non-commercial.
The way we represent the University of Saskatchewan through visual elements affects our stakeholders' perceptions of us both internally and externally, which, in turn, affects our reputation, our ability to recruit top students, faculty and researchers and our relationships with donors.
The University of Saskatchewan strives to present a coherent visual identity. This visual identity helps position the university within the post-secondary sector. To remain effective, the official logo, and its various permutations, must be consistent. Logos may appear on letterhead, presentations, and on merchandise and marketing materials, among other things.
The policy applies to all members of the campus community, including faculty, staff and students. Consistency is a key factor in ensuring success, and so the university community must generally adhere to this policy.
This policy is especially pertinent to staff that work in marketing and communications, to administrative staff across campus and to retail operations.
There are two other policies related to the university logo: commercial use of university trademarks and non-commercial use of university trademarks. This policy does not affect the content of either of these two policies, but they should be linked to ensure the correct logo(s) are being used on either commercial or non-commercial products.
It should be noted there are rare exceptions to this policy, such as when funding partners have already made agreements or when ownership of an entity is shared (such as the Edwards School of Business, Global Institute for Food Security and the Johnson-Shoyama Graduate School of Public Policy). Please refer to the U of S Visual Guidelines or contact communications@usask.ca for direction on logo use when the primary, correct logo does not fit (for example, as a Twitter avatar). Any exception must be authorized by the associate vice-president strategic communications, and chief communications officer.
All colleges, units, departments, groups or the like who operate under the university's umbrella must use the correct official logo in any materials created that are intended to represent the university through use of visual identifiers.
When at all possible, the primary university logo should be used. There is only one correct version of the logo, and all previous versions, including the round logo, must not be used on new products. The round logo was replaced in 2005, but it will, of course, continue to exist in specific instances: for example, on historic documents or in stone carvings around campus. However, when anything new is produced that is meant to represent the U of S now, the current logo must be used. The logo can be found and downloaded here.
If a more specific logo is required, colleges, departments and centres who belong wholly to the University of Saskatchewan can use an official secondary logo that represents both the university as a whole as well as the unit in question. Guidelines for the secondary logo can be found here.
Any use of a logo, whether the primary university logo or a secondary logo, must adhere to the U of S Visual Guidelines.
This information is also highlighted on the logo page.
Questions regarding logos for centres that are part of the university, but have their own funding and operating structure, can be directed to Marketing and Communications at communications@usask.ca.
Oversight of the policy: associate vice-president strategic communications, and chief communications officer.
Providing assistance to those needing help in order to comply: creative services specialist (marketing, University Relations), marketing specialist (marketing, University Relations) or director of marketing (marketing, University Relations).
Ensuring compliance: members of the marketing and communications team, especially the directors.
Determining responsibility for issues that overlap with other existing and related policies: associate vice-president strategic communications, and chief communications officer, manager retail operations and director of consumer services.
Authority to enforce this policy: associate vice-president strategic communications, and chief communications officer.
Anything with an official university logo (whether primary or secondary) that is produced on behalf of the university must use the correct, current logo. The university has the right to prohibit incorrectly marked/branded materials from being distributed. The associate vice-president strategic communications, and chief communications officer has the authority to enforce this policy.
The logo can be found and downloaded here.
Guidelines for the secondary logo can be found here.

Share the post "2018 FIFA World Cup Match Report: Egypt 0 – 1 Uruguay"
The Pharaohs face La Celeste in the second match of group A in the 2018 FIFA World Cup at Ekaterinburg Arena. Both teams were pretty well-matched on the field though Uruguay who have been the favourites to top group A were a bit superior on paper.
The match was not really as exciting as I thought it would be, though both teams were exchanging attacks here and there.
The first chance of the game came for Uruguay through Cavani 8 minutes after kickoff as the clinical striker fired a low shot forcing Egypt goalkeeper El-Shenawy to a brilliant save.
Egypt hit back 3 minutes later. Mahmoud Trezeguet controlled the ball down with his chest but didn't really connect with his shot.
A golden chance came for La Celeste in the 23rd minute of the game as Barcelona striker Luis Suarez sliced his effort into the side netting. It looked like it went in though as the Uruguayan striker was celebrating for a while, but it didn't.
Both teams were a tad bit cagey at times, but an opening goal surely would invite both teams to a much more open game.
The second half starts after a goalless draw in the first half.
Only 2 minutes after the kickoff, Egypt keeper El-Shenawy did an amazing save, keeping out Suarez's shot after receiving a pass from Cavani.
A big chance came again for Oscar Tabarez's side in the 73rd minute of the game, as Uruguay hit Egypt quickly on the counter and Paris Saint-Germain striker poked a through ball to Suarez who tried to dribble past the keeper, but El-Shenawy successfully snatched the ball from his feet.
Egypt finally got their chance 8 minutes later through a counter-attack but they were slowed down by the Uruguayan defence and Elneny saw his attempt to chip Muslera end up sailing over the goal.
A superb save is made just two minutes later by Ahmed El-Shenawy as he flew to save Edinson Cavani's powerful volley which looked destined for the net.
Another chance came for Oscar Tabarez's side as Edinson Cavani curled a free-kick which beat goalkeeper El-Shenawy but it hit the post and bounced back.
Uruguay finally broke the deadlock in the 90th minute of the game as Jose Maria Gimenez rose up the highest to head the ball home from Carlos Sanchez's free-kick delivery.
Egypt tried to fight back to secure at least a point late in the game but their efforts were perhaps too little too late.
Uruguay finally won the game 1-0 to secure three points at Ekaterinburg Arena.
Egypt looked very solid in the first half, able to keep possession and launch a threat to their opposite half on a regular basis while also dealing with the haunting force of both Edinson Cavani and Luis Suarez. The Pharaohs surely could have been one up before the first half whistle were it not for their poor finishing and composure in the final third.
In the second half, Uruguay switched to a more attacking mentality in order to break down the Egyptian defence and they also seemed to be more comfortable in keeping possession too, especially in their opposition's half. They were able to create several chances that could have inflicted serious damage to Hector Cuper's side in the second half but the Egyptian defensive wall looked pretty much unbreakable, especially goalkeeper El-Shenawy who made several great saves in the match.
Meanwhile, Egypt did the opposite, turning to a more defensive mentality, and relying solely on counter-attacks. They managed to get into an advantageous position several times, but still unable to create any danger in the penalty box. Though they have been quite impressive in defence, their luck was put to an end after Uruguay central defender Jose Maria Gimenez managed to make a breakthrough late in the game.
As expected, Uruguay were far more superior in ball possession with 58% possession in their hands, compared to Egypt's 42%. The South American side also had made much more passes, with 586 passes compared to Egypt's 428.
Uruguay had a total of 10 shots with 4 of them on target, while Egypt have 3 shots on target out of 6 shots.
Uruguay central defender Jose Maria Gimenez is a pretty easy pick in this one. The Atletico Madrid centre-back was unbeatable in the air and hard to get past. He managed to keep Egypt forwards Marwan Mohsen and Kahraba quiet in the first and second half.
Not just that, he also scored the winning goal for Uruguay late in the game, helping his side to secure vital three points in Russia.
Edinson Cavani was also quite impressive though still currently in search for his first goal in the World Cup, he was somewhat successful in terrorizing the Egyptian defence with his intelligent positional play and amazing ball-striking techniques.
Egypt keeper Ahmed El-Shenawy is also worth mentioning in this one as he was probably Egypt's best player in this game, were it not for him, they could have been down earlier in the game and for more than just one goal.

"Mi ne volas flugi al alia planedo unuope."
Translation:I do not want to fly to another planet by myself.
So... 'sole'. But then, it's nice to have synonyms of course. Makes for better writing.
But they really are not synonyms. "Unuope" does mean "one by one" or "one at a time" and is not the same as "alone". From PIV: "Rim. Oni ne uzu opa en la senco «unuopa, aparta, individua»: tio estas kontraŭsenco."
Yes, synonyms are nice to have, and I'm happy to see that even Esperanto has them!
— "Do bone, Jurij, almenaŭ ĉirkaŭflugu la Teron".
I agree with those commenting to say that "unuope" is an odd word choice.
I don't want to fly to planets one at a time ... in groups of one.


Simon Harris has been under increasing pressure over the children's hospital since last August. Was he simply hoping that it would be his eventual successor's problem?
At the end of last August, Simon Harris was informed in a detailed three-page memo that cost overruns with the National Children's Hospital could reach as much as €400 million. The Minister for Health knew immediately that he had a very serious problem in relation to the escalating cost of the long-promised hospital.

Use of Screen-printed Electrodes Modified by Prussian Blue and Analogues in Sensing of Cysteine
Bonacin, JA and Dos Santos, PL and Katic, V and Foster, CW and Banks, CE (2017) Use of Screen-printed Electrodes Modified by Prussian Blue and Analogues in Sensing of Cysteine. Electroanalysis, 30 (1). pp. 170-179. ISSN 1040-0397
Official URL: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/10.1002/(IS...
© 2018 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim The utilisation of screen-printing technology allows for a mass scalable approach for the production of electrochemical screen-printed electrodes (SPEs) and the presence of a redox mediator can add new possibilities to the electrochemical properties of the SPEs. Among the materials used as redox mediators, cyanidoferrates polymers can be used for electro-oxidation of cysteine. In this work, two monomers, namely, [Fe(CN) 6 ] 4− and [Fe(CN) 5 NH 3 ] 3− were used to produce Prussian blue (PB) and Prussian blue-Ammine (PB-Ammine), respectively. In addition, two modification methods were compared, firstly via a drop-casting and secondly by the incorporation of these materials into a printable ink. The SPE modified by PB-Ammine (drop-casting) exhibits the highest electroactive area, however the highest heterogeneous rate constant was found with the SPE modified by PB-Ammine that was incorporated into the ink. The highest value of the constant of electro-oxidation of cysteine and lowest limit of detection was also observed in the SPE modified by PB incorporated into the ink. These studies suggest that the electrocatalytic properties of SPE modified by PB and PB-Ammine are dependent upon the availability of Fe 3+ catalytic sites and the increased kinetics of the chemical reaction between the catalytic sites and the analyte.

Synopsis: Popular marriage counselor and seminar leader John Gray provides a unique, practical and proven way for men and women to communicate and relate better by acknowledging the differences between them.
Using this metaphor to illustrate the commonly occurring conflicts between men and women, Gray explains how these differences can come between the sexes and prohibit mutually fulfilling loving relationships. Based on years of successful counseling of couples, he gives advice on how to counteract these differences in communication styles, emotional needs and modes of behavior to promote a greater understanding between individual partners. Gray shows how men and women react differently in conversation and how their relationships are affected by male intimacy cycles ("get close", "back off"), and female self-esteem fluctuations ("I'm okay", "I'm not okay"). He encourages readers to accept the other gender's particular way of expressing love, and helps men and women learn how to fulfill each other's emotional needs.
With practical suggestions on how to reduce conflict, crucial information on how to interpret a partner's behavior and methods for preventing emotional "trash from the past" from invading new relationships, Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus is a valuable tool for couples who want to develop deeper and more satisfying relationships with their partners.

Mark Kozelek announces two new Sun Kil Moon albums for 2018
The relentlessly prolific artist is also scoring an upcoming James Franco film
Randall Colburn
December 26, 2017 | 12:00am ET
Mark Kozelek's third act as an artist has been marked by excess, both lyrically and in his output. In 2017 alone he released both a solo EP under his own name and a Sun Kil Moon LP dubbed, Common As Light And Love Are Red Valleys of Blood, as well as three collaborative albums with Jesu, Parquet Courts bassist Sean Yeaton, and Ben Boye and Jim White. Now, a post on his official website reveals that he's got two more Sun Kil Moon records on the way. Got all that?
"I couldn't and don't know how to stay away from making music," Kozelek writes, noting that both records are "very different" and in their "final stages" of their recording.
"One of the albums was recorded in hotel rooms in San Francisco throughout the year, with mobile gear, mostly recorded on a 1960 Fender Jazzmaster guitar.," he says. "The album was recorded at hotels to take a break from the dark, windowless atmosphere of studios, and to see how atypical recording environments would affect my music." He notes the album's official announcement will likely come in February in advance of an early summer release.
The other album, he says, "was written during a Sun Kil Moon tour in November of this year, partly recorded in Copenhagen during that tour, and also at Hyde Street Studios in San Francisco after returning home in early December." In addition to original songs, it will include two covers in honor of recently departed musicians. They include a rendition of the Partridge Family's "Come On Get Happy" "in honor of the late David Cassidy," as well as an "amped up" cover of AC/DC's "Rock 'N' Roll Singer" for co-founding member Malcolm Young, who passed in November. Also, Kozelek will be setting "Chapter 87" of John Connolly's novel He to music. Kozelek says he's currently in the process of mixing the album and that he'll likely release it in November, "as the atmosphere of the album is heavily November themed."
Because prolific artists are apparently drawn to each other, Kozelek says he also "just signed off on final score work for a beautiful James Franco directed film The Pretenders."
One might wonder how he has time to do anything but record, but the artist has also included a list of his 2017 favorites, including his favorite film, album, TV series, and concert of the year.

— Sad Reminders (@sadreminders) December 23, 2017
At this time last year, after a final tour date of the year in Rapid City, South Dakota, I made a decision to take a break from touring in 2017. The three previous years were the busiest tour years of my life and it was time to take some time off. It was nice to spend my first summer off, in many years, spending time with my girlfriend and her cat, fishing and visiting friends. But I couldn't and don't know how to stay away from making music. I not only managed to somehow release four albums this year, but also recorded two new records that are in their final stages. Both will be released under the Sun Kil Moon moniker, and are very different albums. One of the albums was recorded in hotel rooms in San Francisco throughout the year, with mobile gear, mostly recorded on a 1960 Fender Jazzmaster guitar. The album was recorded at hotels to take a break from the dark, windowless atmosphere of studios, and to see how atypical recording environments would affect my music. My guess is that the album title and track listing will be announced by February, and I'll likely release the album early next summer.
The other album was written during a Sun Kil Moon tour in November of this year, partly recorded in Copenhagen during that tour, and also at Hyde Street Studios in San Francisco after returning home in early December. The lyrics were written on trains and planes between those concert dates and the music was written quickly when we arrived at soundchecks in various cities. The 3 non-original songs on the album include a cover of The Partridge Family's "Come On Get Happy" in honor of the late David Cassidy, a new, amped up cover version of "Rock 'N' Roll Singer" by AC/DC, in honor of the late Malcolm Young (and features Jordan Cook from Reignwolf on guitar), and another track is "Chapter 87″ of John Connolly's novel He, set to music. I'm mixing the album in Buffalo, NY, at GCR Studios, as I write this, and will likely release it in early November next year, as the atmosphere of the album is heavily November themed.
In addition to this, I've just signed off on final score work for a beautiful James Franco directed film "The Pretenders."
Though I only did three tours this year, it was great to share the stage with, and/or make music with many wonderful friends and musicians including Steve Shelley, Sean Yeaton, Scott McPherson, Jim White, Ben Boye, Kevin Corrigan, Josh, Rachel, and Petra Haden, Minna Choi, Neil Finn, Nels Cline, Ramon Fermin, Tony Scherr, Chris Connolly, Holly Throsby, Low, Jordan Cook, and many others.
Thank you to Tony Visconti, John Connolly, and Conor Oberst for the interviews. Thank you to Rough Trade and Redeye for their continued support. Thank you Nathan for the hard work. Thank you to all of my friends (many mentioned above, the rest know who they are) for their love, kindness and inspiration throughout the years. A big thanks to my fans who turned up everywhere from Auckland to Chicago to Dublin. At almost 51 years old, and 25 years into my career, I'm still living my dream – and I'm grateful to all of you.

Emilia Galotti est un drame en cinq actes de Gotthold Ephraim Lessing représenté pour la première fois à Brunswick en 1772. Comme Cabale et Amour de Schiller et Marie Madeleine de Hebbel, Emilia Galotti est un exemple du drame bourgeois allemand. L'intrigue se fonde sur l'histoire de la Romaine Verginia.

Emilia Galotti ne suit pas exactement le modèle du drame bourgeois français. Même si l'amour est un élément central, le drame est une œuvre politique. Les bourgeois s'opposent avec force aux nobles, et les idées classiques de l'hymen dérogent aux idées bourgeoises. Cette opposition est le ressort du drame.

Trame
Hector Gonzague, prince de Guastalla, rêve d'une intrigue avec la belle Emilia. Sachant qu'elle a choisi de se marier avec un comte, il ordonne à son chambellan Marinelli d'entraver les noces. Peu après, les amants se font attaquer par des truands que le sbire a soudoyés pour qu'ils tuent le comte.

L'héroïne est emmenée au château du prince où elle sera saine et sauve – d'après le sbire. Contrairement à sa mère, elle ne voit pas la cabale que Marinelli a tramée. La comtesse Orsina, une ancienne maîtresse d'Hector, s'immisce alors dans leurs affaires. Pour calmer la fureur qu'elle ressent depuis que le prince l'a chassée, elle enjoint à Odoard de tuer Hector pour venger le comte. Le père de l'héroïne hésite, il veut que Dieu lave l'affront. Le sbire convainc Emilia de rester au château en alléguant qu'un tribunal doit examiner le meurtre. Craignant de céder à Hector, elle demande que son père la tue : elle se ravalerait en cédant aux instances du prince. Le père la tue en effet, mais les remords l'accablent aussitôt.

Il se soumet aux juges du prince, qui accuse son sbire d'avoir causé ce deuil pour ensuite le chasser. Odoard déclare que Dieu est la plus haute instance.

Personnages
Emilia est émotive, expansive, probe et belle à ravir ; elle va régulièrement à l'église. Roturière, elle s'est éprise du comte bien avant que leurs fiançailles ne soient annoncées. C'est donc un amour sincère qui les lie.

Le prince n'a pas d'ami. Il s'apitoie sur son sort, abuse de son pouvoir et agit hâtivement : il souscrit à une mise à mort sans scruter l'affaire et choisit de conquérir Emilia alors qu'il la connaît à peine. Sa passion pour Orsina s'est éteinte avant le début du drame.

Marinelli fait usage de ses airs patelins pour jouer les autres et atteindre ses buts. Par exemple, c'est avec des phrases de miel qu'il berce la peur d'Emilia sans qu'il parvienne à lénifier la mère de celle-ci. Ses rapports avec le prince, qu'il trouve trop distant, sont assez tendus ; il pense qu'on le sollicite trop rarement. Il doit faire l'interface entre Hector et ses maîtresses pour l'informer à leur sujet.

Orsina ignore au départ que le prince s'est lassé d'elle. La comtesse est moqueuse, le doute ne l'effleure pas. Son air est froid, et ses yeux rappellent la Méduse. Contrairement à Hector, le sbire trouve que la comtesse est amène.

Claudia soutient sa fille et sert de médiatrice entre elle et Odoard.

Thèmes
La pièce souligne les heurts entre le peuple et les nobles. C'est probablement la veulerie d'Hector qui est censée blâmer les régents vénaux. La morale des classes inférieures est également censurée. Par exemple, l'aristocratie terrienne a tendance à ignorer la volonté de l'enfant qui, lui, veut développer ses facultés et instincts. Elle veille plutôt à ce que chacun remplisse ses tâches.

Le manque d'autonomie des bourgeois est raillé : Emilia chancelle dès qu'il faut agir. On l'a toujours choyée sans la contraindre à l'autonomie. Elle sait que sa volonté est fragile et se méfie de son raisonnement.

Les décisions d'Odoard reflètent la manière dont les bourgeois du  ont changé d'attitudes. Il est sur le point d'épouser des idées éclairées mais ré-embrasse les normes illogiques de l'époque lorsqu'il tue sa fille pour sauver l'honneur familial. Le désir de préserver cet honneur coûte que coûte témoigne de l'étroitesse d'esprit des bourgeois.

Lessing aurait voulu que la société change. Ce sont les changements de caractère de ses personnages qui lui servent à exprimer ce désir. Il veut aussi qu'il y ait une certaine distance entre bourgeois et nobles :

, Lessing dans Hamburgische Dramaturgie. 14. Stück – (« Les noms héroïques et princiers peuvent teinter une pièce de majesté et de pompe sans faire en sorte qu'elle nous touche. Le martyre de ceux dont les conditions de vie sont plus semblables aux nôtres doit nous saisir le plus. »)

The legal code was overhauled, and civil law, previously the dominion of the religious leaders, was secularized. The first wave of Turkish feminism occurred in the early 20th century, when women's organizations began to demand equality in civic and political rights.

It's typically either in the notes, or on the anesthesia record.
I thought the way they tell if it is structural is how much it bends out, no? Did your surgeon do bending films?
That's pretty much it.
https://pubs.rsna.org/doi/10.1148/rg.307105061
"Because of vertebral morphologic changes (eg, wedging and rotation), a structural curve is not correctable with ipsilateral bending. By contrast, no vertebral morphologic changes take place in a nonstructural curve, which is a mild compensatory curve enabling sagittal and coronal truncal balance; therefore, it is correctable with ipsilateral bending. A nonstructural curve does not usually progress. However, a nonstructural curve may progress to a structural curve if ligament shortening results from growth retardation on the concave side of curvature (8)."
Concerneddad
Nope, never a bending x-ray. His view is that unless you are at the point where surgery is on the table, better not to subject them to the extra radiation.
Originally posted by LindaRacine View Post
Nope, no such law (then or now). The only reason they'd wake a patient up for permission is if they either didn't know they'd stage the surgery, or they forgot to get permission prior to anesthesia.
It probably was because I did not sign an advanced directive or medical power of attorney at the hospital. It's also stated in my hospital reports. I know, this isn't the norm....and was surprised when he woke me up. They obviously had permission for the first surgery.
I wanted myself or my surgeon calling ALL the medical decisions, not my family, friends, heirs, state, lawyer, legal document or a court. I guess I could get into it but it would be a really long post.
Funny since a lot of people would think that a family member would be the right thing to do, but I can give an example where it isn't.... especially in end of life decisions.
I had 100% trust in my surgeon.
Originally posted by Concerneddad View Post
But because the top curve is now about 25% bigger, much more displaced, and a bunch more rotated, the doc thinks that it's probably a primary thoracolumbar curve, with a mostly compensatory lumbar curve at the bottom. In the unlikely event that she did need to be fused in the next few years, he thinks that they would just need to do the top one. The only problem there is that even the top curve is low enough that they'd probably need to go to L2, which is when the bad stuff starts to happen. (If it came to that, we'd probably see if there was an alternative that would spare that level like an anterior approach or a hybrid.)
My curves were pretty much matched over the years. That why I asked. 50/50, 60/60, 70/70. Within about 3 degrees....
My lumbar curve ended up getting extremely stiff and I had to do a lot of stretching over the years. I had a professional $1800 stretching chair that my Chiro bought for me, and an arch table. I was told it could be fused "as is" by my surgeon.
It was similar to this model...

The arch table looks simple but is very effective and you have to be very careful how much time you spend laying on this. The weight of your legs pulls hard on your lower spine depending on your exact position laying on the arch. Just 5 minutes and you will really notice it.
She has a lot of years ahead of her....I started Chiropractic at age 28, that when my scoliosis pain became focused, if that's the right word.
It's hard to say what will happen technology wise in 25-30 years. It keeps improving.

My benders were done by my surgeon leading into surgery. I don't know how much I bent out, don't think it was all that great....
I have shot a lot of x-rays over the years....Hard to say, maybe 75. Also a few CT's and Flouroscopy before and during surgery. I have a few x-rays from a few days after surgery from strange angles I guess looking at the lumbar implants. They would always do the diagnostics during the grave shift and I liked those since I got out of the room and would go on a hallway trip. Lots of sliding across big tables on big x-ray machines. Laying down of course.
Cancer is a whole different program. Usually it takes time, some of it acts fast, some of it acts slow. Like Prostate cancer in men.....After age 50 in men, I have seen some large numbers. I have a friend who has had lymphoma for about 50 years. He told me that he set the record....He is 83 now.
Last update ever, at least barring something very unforeseen -- just in time for a spiffy new board!
Annual check last week. Same 40T/32L as the year before. Risser 5. He said that she doesn't need to come back annually any more. Any progression now will be very slow -- too slow to measure except in 5-10 year timespans. He said at this point, she can either not do anything and just come back to him (he follows his patients as adults if they want) or another doc if the curves become symptomatic years down the line, or if she wants to be more proactive, it's fine to check every 5-10 years. But it will be up to her, since she'll be an adult.
So that's the end of it as far as I'm concerned. Hope everyone is well!

I have some doubts to do the some code with a UDF.
The item is 0 to unbounded, and I have to do a loop at the item and take the values of field1 and field2 of the last item.
It is correct if I have?
I want to take the values of the las item for field1 and field2 in strings a and b, and after do a check of the values to put the result.
What I don't know hot to do is to take these values.
Use this same UDF for both the fields seperately.
Have the field1 and field2 with no contexts as inputs to your UDF. Check the length of any queue (assumed to be same for both field1 and field2). Now use this length to represent the last item of the fields like field1[length-1] and field2[length-1] length. You would have last values in them. Use them where you want based on your logic.

Hi Everyone, from a Machine Tool programmer to a Wanabee Voyage 200 programmer.
I don't normally do forums, but this is the exception, looks like a great community of people doing things. I'm from central Ohio where the corn and soybeans grow. I am a Tool Maker and have been running machines cutting chips for 35 years now. My first successful programing was a 2 axis CNC milling machine in the 80s, hand data input from hand drawn pictures of geometry and a Casio pocket calculator to do the trig on. Later, CAD-Computer Aided Design and CAM-Computer Aided Machining to design tooling and program the 3 and 4 axis CNC machines with. Machine Tool code is rooted in the late 50s-early 60s at-least, archaic stuff. I've had just a little time with Libert-Basic, long enough to get some serial data out of a CMM - Coordinate Measuring Machine into a CAD system on a PC (somewhat basic) and that's about it.
Other interest are Amateur Radio and Electronics, which brings me here. I bought a TI-Voyage 200 to load electronics formula in so I could go to one place to get refreshed, and get it right, things like Ohms Law, capacitive and inductive reactance, and the such in the hope that if I can run the formula correctly it will be a learning aid in electronics. I've got TI Connect and TI Editor running on the PC and have got a few programs up and downloaded from the Voyage, and have found a learning curve that I don't want to do by myself, so here I am. Looks like allot of fun.
Thanks to everyone in advance for being here, I hope I can be a help someday.
Re: Hi Everyone, from a Machine Tool programmer to a Wanabee Voyage 200 programmer.
I'm from central ohio as well. Go Bucks! And welcome!
I used t live in Columbus, lol.
It seems that a large number of this forum lives in Ohio for some reason, lol.
Maybe that's an Ohio State University thing.
Thank you Xeda for the direction. Input and Output is what I'm trying to figure the forms out on. I put together a nice little Ohms Law program that I give 2 variables of 4, that is, E-I-R-W for Volts, Current, Ohms, Watts, and get the other 2 along with Peak Volts and Peak to Peak Volts for AC. Turned out to be quite revealing, and can use it with antenna information, (100 watts into a 50 Ohm Load), anyway, the Electronics Handbooks are full of equations, and I thought that before I get ahead of myself, I would try to get a handle on Input/Output looks and feels, the Tool Bar, and logical program structure. Looks like you sent me to a right place to take a peak. It is much appreciated.
