New England Tragedy. 1934 Umberto Romano (1906-1982) Courtesy Cape Ann Museum
"A black drug dealer almost certainly killed his white girlfriend, then got killed himself by a police officer during an armed robbery. What could I possibly hope to accomplish by writing that story? Nothing. I had to shape meaning out of what seemed be to meaningless violence."
–JoeAnn Hart, Stamford '76
Among a writer's books there are those that come to us naturally. But almost always there is another kind of book. It is not the book we write, but the book that writes us. We may be at the keyboard or with pen in hand, but there is another force driving us to put down words on a page. It may be a voice from the past urging us on, or the pressure of a traumatic event, the outlines of which are still unclear. It may be a story we have long wanted to tell, if only we could find a way to tell it, or we could discover certain details that have remained hidden or even unknown to us.
When we do tell this story, we often discover that it is a story as much about ourselves as its elusive subject or characters. Often we find out that we are trying to learn more about who we were at the time of the story and, as a consequence of the telling, who we are now—who we have become. Hence, we are written as we write.
This is one of the themes of Gloucester writer JoeAnn Hart's stunning new book, Stamford '76, published in April by the University of Iowa Press.
It is a book that works on many levels. As memoir, Hart is writing about herself and her nuclear family in the context of an interracial relationship she embarked on after dropping out of college in 1975, at the age of 18, and moving to Stamford, Connecticut, where she found work in bars and restaurants, and eventually in a bank.
Stamford '76 can also be read as a true crime story. Hart and her black lover, Joe Louis, were friends with another interracial couple, both of whom died violent deaths. The white woman, 24 year old Margo Olson, was found in a shallow grave in an abandoned potter's field in Stamford, her heart pierced by a steel arrowhead. Her partner Howie, who may have killed her, died at the hands of police during a botched liquor store robbery. The circumstances of their deaths remained a mystery that haunted Hart for decades.
As Hart writes: "Leaving behind the memory of Margo had meant forgetting parts of myself, and I needed that eighteen-year-old by my side as I faced the challenge of getting three children through their teenage years. I wanted to gain some wisdom from that girl, who was both reckless and brave to a fault, and to do that I had to open the box marked Fragile."
"In that box," Hart continues, "nestled along with all my stored emotion, was a three-pronged mission, (1) figure out what had happened to Margo, (2), remember what had been going on with me, and (3) try to understand why her death made me so wary, for so long."
This, then, is the thrust of a narrative that is as revealing as it is riveting. It is here that Hart employs her superb investigative skills in attempting to solve the question of Margo's death as a "study in silence," and the abandonment of her body in a makeshift grave. Here, also, she uncovers the couples' entanglement with drug dealing and organized crime. Equally, Hart unearths a parallel story whose outlines were unclear to her at the time of her involvement with Margo and Howie. And that is the story of the growing presence of organized crime in Stamford, aided and abetted by the local Democratic Party establishment and the participation in criminal activities of certain key members of the Stamford police force, including the drug trafficking that led to the deaths of Margo and Howie.
Having published two novels (Addled, 2007, and Float, 2013), along with numerous essays, short stories, and works of journalism, Hart is an accomplished writer of fiction and non-fiction. Everywhere in the narrative one experiences Hart's novelist's eye for detail, which helps to give the book its powerful sense of immediacy.
Hart's story also has social and political implications. At the time of the events described (and during the country's Bi-Centennial Celebrations), Stamford was undergoing extensive Urban Renewal, so that the city could lure major corporations out of the nearby crumbling New York City. In order to achieve this, blacks and other minorities had to be pushed out of neighborhoods that had long been theirs to make way for the high tax payers. As a consequence, race relations, strained during the civil rights struggles of the 1960s, worsened, housing problems escalated, and Stamford became a more problematic city to live and work in, as it turned "whiter by the hour," as Hart describes it.
Some of this Hart learned while living and working in the city and involved with Joe Louis, his family, and his friends, including Howie and Margo. There is a particularly affecting picture of Joe's jazz and gospel singer mother Georgia, with whom Hart remained close even after Joe's death. Though Joe had graduated from Columbia, much of his income came from gambling, drug dealing and flipping used cars. He also ran unsuccessfully for public office. As a consequence, Hart's paychecks kept their often unstable living situations afloat. Joe also became an increasingly heavy drinker. A significant part of the narrative involves Hart's attempts to come into her own as a person and a woman under the aegis of second-wave feminism, while trying to remain in a committed relationship. Though Joe did not readily speak about it, the couple remained haunted by the deaths of Howie and Margo.
After the couple finally separated and Hart was living in Colorado, about to meet the man she eventually married, the story of Margo and Howie continued to affect her. Her search for clues about their deaths, particularly Margo's, as Hart traveled back to Stamford during the intervening years, searching through police records and the archives of the Stamford Advocate, tracking down people to speak with, and eventually writing about the case and her life in Stamford, constitutes one of the most dramatic dimensions of a book that will keep readers in suspense.
In the end, after all of her careful research and brilliant detective work, Hart returns to the potter's field where Margo's body had been found by picnickers. It is there that she finally experiences a sense of closure.
"I had found Margo and with her, my younger self," Hart concludes. But in the process of this act of recovery, readers have shared the journey of a writer, who is as unrelenting in her pursuit of self-knowledge as she is redemptive of her lost friends, who, in part, enabled that important discovery.
JoeAnn Hart will be reading locally from Stamford '76 at the Gloucester Lyceum, on April 18, from 7 to 9 p.m. and at the Gloucester Writers Center (Rocky Neck Cultural Center), on May 22, from 7:30 to 9 p.m. with discussion to follow.
The Land Within: Further Thoughts about an Ecology of Place
Horizon at Gloucester c. 1905 Frank Duveneck (1848-1919) Courtesy Cape Ann Museum
When I was living in Maine with the Penobscot Indians during the early 1970s, there was an expression I would hear over and over again. "You can take an Indian out of the woods," it went, "but you can't take the woods out of an Indian."
The saying fascinated me. Like any good aphorism it was beguiling, though it wasn't until later that I began to see it as a really beautiful example of what ecology is all about.
In effect, we do not begin to live in places until they dwell in us, become part of us, as we, in our external lives—our bodies, homes, possessions—make up the sum total of those places along with their own natural attributes: sea, rocks, trees, birds.
So it's not enough, then, to inhabit the surface of your own life, as on the crust of the earth. You've got to dig in, and at the same time, let the place where you live into yourself, your consciousness. You've got to participate in its rhythms, the fluctuations of the weather, the color of the light, the smell of the air, the taste of it all. You've got to let the land dwell in you, which is how many Penobscots claimed they were able to survive living in cities or working in factories miles from the woods and rivers of their childhood.
When the first English settlers arrived in New England in the 17th century, they started cutting down the trees, clearing the land, buying and selling what did not belong to them to the horror of the natives for whom every tree and clod of earth was sacred. "The Earth is our Mother. Would you sell your Mother?" they asked colonists angrily interrupted in their orgies of acquisition. To no avail, for whites could no more grasp this organic concept of the earth any more than Native Americans could understand what it meant to regard the land as "real estate" or "property," as a commodity of sale or exchange—something to be owned or used, "developed." (Doesn't this pertain today in the conflict between those who believe that a beautiful meadow or forest should be left alone to be enjoyed by everybody in its naturalness and those who are uneasy unless it is sub-divided, built upon, fenced off—owned?)
What I'm suggesting here is that the ecological movement, as it's named and practiced in America, is always going to be a one-dimensional process and therefore an incomplete and ultimately abortive effort unless we confront the central issue, which is our relationship to the land and the land's to us: our inter-relationship—how we live on the land and how the land lives in us; a dwelling-in and an in-dwelling, if you will.
Living here for nearly eighty years, it has been my sense that Gloucester people have an edge when it comes to an intimacy with the place you were born in, or have adopted as your hometown. Not only are we reluctant to leave; once away, many of us can't wait to get back. Or if we've moved semi-permanently (no native ever goes away for good), we harbor the hope of returning as soon as we can.
Our nostalgia for the Gloucester we knew or have left isn't like most of the nostalgia one encounters today, a yearning after something that really never was—lost happiness of childhood, or the places of our carefree years of youth. It's a true nostalgia: a desire to come home, home to where our roots are, home to our family and friends, to the streets and neighborhoods that remain in our blood.
Still, I don't want to paint too rosy a picture. Let me enter a caveat. The ecological balance of our life on Cape Ann—our own inner harmony as we attune ourselves to the changing seasons—is going to depend upon the preservation of our forests, wetlands and open spaces, the wisest possible use of the ocean, and the continued vigilance of an absolutely informed citizenry. An ecological consciousness is not enough. People have to come together, not only to protect their neighborhoods from encroachments that could destroy their character or make them unsafe for their children, but also the spaces around us from being closed up, our light and air shut off, our daily lives suddenly claustrophobic like the lives of many big city dwellers.
The existence of neighborhood associations is essential, as we have learned from many an attempt to protect our heritage from those who would steal it from us for their own profit. Who else is going to look out for our rights if we don't daily? Politicians have to be held to their campaign promises of wise development and controlled economic growth. The city needs an up-dated Master Plan. We cannot develop in a piecemeal fashion—a hotel here, a school there—without a holistic sense of the needs of our entire community. We can't even begin to talk of living in harmony with the earth if all we see around us—and allow—is loss and destruction in the name of progress. Gloucester—all of Cape Ann—belongs to each one of us, and we're all going to lose something inestimable if we lose our habitation, our own home-place, even by the default of apathy.
All of the people Peter Parsons and I talked with while we were working on an oral history for Gloucester's 350th anniversary expressed their love for this place. At the same time, they were very open about their fears for our city's future, and the feeling of resentment they experienced toward the uncontrolled growth they were beginning to see around them. "It's just not going to be the same," many sighed—and that was nearly 45 years ago! They were not referring to the good old days. They were talking about the look and feel of Gloucester as they experienced it in their current lives, and, above all, the natural world that is now more threatened than ever by climate change.
One of the most perfect expressions of feeling rooted to a place came from fisherman Fred Hunte. In the clearest language, he described the intimate understanding of the natural world, coupled with the practical turn of mind, that's required to live your life daily in it.
"I don't go much by the Farmer's Almanac," Fred told us, "I look at the skies in the morning or the night, the way the sun goes down. Watch the gulls what they do in the air. You see the gulls up in the air? You see them going round in a circle high in the air? That's a sure sign of a change of wind. Wind coming. Look at the sun going down in the west nights as you see these streamers going up to it. These streamers going up from the horizon, up to the sun, used to call 'em sun dogs. That's a sign of wind too. And if the sun took up bright red in the morning, that's a sign of rain. When you been a fisherman all your life, you been out in a dory a lot alone. You've had to learn all that stuff, figure it out. You gotta watch it yourself. That's survival for yourself."
Gloucester Native Anna Solomon Publishes Novel Set in her Home Town
September 19, 2016 Enduring Gloucester Leave a comment
By Miriam Weinstein
When Anna Solomon began to weave together ideas and images for her second novel, Leaving Lucy Pear (published in July 2016 by Viking), her upbringing in Gloucester played a very large part.
"I loved growing up in Gloucester," she says. And, although as an adult she has lived in Providence and now lives in New York City, "it is still my home, and it is still embedded in me. I feel I could write about it until I die."
Indeed, the natural and the man-made landscape of the place, as well as its history, figure prominently in this story about motherhood, choices, consequences, and discovering one's true nature. It begins in the 1920s when a well-to-do young Jewish woman leaves her newborn baby to be found under a pear tree on Eastern Point. It follows the baby, the woman who left her, and the woman who found her. So yes, this is very much a work of imagination. But locals will recognize the intimate descriptions of this very particular milieu.
Because of her Cape Ann connections, Solomon was able to tap into local historical expertise. Sarah Dunlap, co-author of The Jewish Community of Cape Ann, pointed her to historical archives. Barbara Erkkila, historian of the granite industry, described how it felt to be a child on Cape Ann in the early years of the 20th century. Erik Ronnberg's knowledge of the history of the fishing industry helped her to work through a plot problem.
Solomon's Jewish upbringing on Cape Ann also played a large role. "The Jewish community is a very, very tight and supportive local community," she says. "The synagogue (Temple Ahavat Achim) for me felt like a second home. Because it was small, and people came from all over, there were many different kinds of Jews there. It showed me, at least as a child, a lot of ways to be Jewish."
In addition to Leaving Lucy Pear, Solomon is the author of a previous novel, The Little Bride, and co-editor with Eleanor Henderson of Labor Day: True Birth Stories by Today's Best Women Writers.
Solomon will speak about Leaving Lucy Pear at the Gloucester Lyceum and Sawyer Free Library on Thursday, October 13 at 7 p.m., and at the Boston Book Festival, on Saturday, October 15, at 10:45 a.m., at the Boston Public Library.

Telling Tales: A Gathering of Stories by Eric Schoonover
September 5, 2016 September 5, 2016 Enduring Gloucester Leave a comment
A Review by Peter Anastas
(Dogbar Publications, Gloucester, 2016, 142 pp., $15)
"We tell stories for as many reasons as we live. They celebrate the beginnings and endings of our lives. They are the hand that rocks the cradle, the hand that wraps the shroud. They give meaning to the long or short haul of our lives." –from the Preface
In Telling Tales, Gloucester poet and novelist Eric Schoonover has given us a collection of essays as finely written as they are delightful to read. Each essay explores an arresting theme and tells a particular story, so that in reading them we are doubly rewarded.
We experience the taste of dates in Egypt with their author, who shares his thoughts about the role of memory in our lives. In an essay that dramatizes issues of class and companionship, we accompany Schoonover as a young college instructor, who travels from his Eastern American classroom to Washington State to join a fire fighting crew in the Palouse hills. We're with him in a car race in which a relationship is also explored, and we assist him in building "Tuva," his Micro sailboat, which still plies the waters off Cape Ann (he also builds a bed for his grandson Jacob to whom the book is dedicated). Most powerfully, we climb into the mountains of Switzerland, where Schoonover travels to scatter the ashes of his parents near the small Genevan village where the family spent several memorable vacations.
Yet for all their variety and Schoonover's scintillating prose, these essays are seamlessly constructed, as befits the boat builder who wrote them. The word essay comes from the French essai, which means "an attempt." In writing an essay one begins by setting down tentative thoughts about a subject. In the process we may also be trying to discover what we actually think about that subject, and what we want to say about it once we begin to write.
Essays have generally been categorized as "formal" or "familiar." Formal essays usually consist of an impersonal analysis of a subject, while familiar essays are generally written from a personal point of view and tell us as much about the writer as his or her subject.
Our era may well be one in which we have witnessed the primacy of the familiar essay, through the popularity of personal essays and memoirs, the profusion of Op Ed columns, and, more recently, the explosion of individual blogs, in which writers write as much about themselves as they do about their subjects. Yet the new digital technologies (not to speak of texting and Twittering) with their inherent demands to think and write fast, and therefore more superficially, have helped to create a literary culture in which care of construction and thoughtfulness of intent have often been eclipsed by the pressure to post or respond to other posts. While this has arguably afforded more democracy of access and expression (everybody is now seen to be a writer), the inevitable consequence has been a sacrifice of depth.
For this reason Eric Schoonover's Telling Tales is all the more welcome. The personal voice is here in these wonderfully luminous essays, which are both autobiographical and a history of the sources and growth of a literary sensibility. We come to understand who the author is through the gathering details of his life—fishing with his father as a child; experiencing his first misunderstanding by a teacher in the rural Western Massachusetts school he first attended, in a town where he was the only paperboy; teaching English and literature in a variety of settings; and traveling to remote places whose cultures fascinate him, with his family as a child and later as a mature traveler and writer
With this collection Schoonover has in effect restored the essay to its proper place as an invaluable yet ever flexible mode of expression and exposition, a means of coming at the world in multiple ways, while sharing with the reader what the writer has discovered during the journey.
In describing what he has set out to achieve in this rewarding book, Schoonover quotes Joseph Conrad's own reason for writing: "I want to make you see." And we do see through Schoonover's eyes some of the world he has experienced and remembered, just as we feel through language that rises to poetry what he has felt and wishes to share with us.
Telling Tales may be a slender book in terms of page length, but it is brimming with the kinds of wisdom, humor, insight and sheer intelligence that are certain to make a lasting impression on the reader.
Eric Schoonover is a writer, boatbuilder and watercolorist, who lives in Gloucester in a small 1735 Cape Ann cottage with his wife, also a writer. He is the author of the award-winning The Gloucester Suite and Other Poems and a novel, Flowers of the Sea. His latest book, Telling Tales, has just been published.

Alterra is a developer group that has been working in the GTA for the last 40 years and aims to shape the aesthetic for entire districts. They must follow an important path if they hope to accomplish this goal. They manage their own team and take an outside-in approach to their work. This philosophy is integral to every level of their development.
They are led by their president and CEO Robert Cooper. Robert originally accepted a job with them with the expectation that it was going to be a short term solution. Fast forward 27 years, and Robert is now at the helm of the entire company, and for good reason. Among other notable achievements, Robert is the youngest person to ever be awarded with the prestigious Home Builders Association Lifetime Achievement Award.
At the conception of a project, their outside-in philosophy leads them to understand their surroundings. They believe that if they're going to define a district, they first have to understand it. Their committed team meets with clients to work together and visualize how the clients view their desired community. They figure out what the community is and what it could be. The relationship between people and place is at the foundation of their outside-in philosophy.
After meeting with their client, the team begins to consider what the community already has to offer. What stories through its history, current architecture and unique culture have to offer the project? How can the new building characterize all of those elements into a single beacon? Once all the outside information is gathered, they work to distill the meaning of the current community into evocative and innovative buildings.
While most of their work is with condominiums, Alterra has also created some commercial buildings for Canadian institutions. These include Shoppers Drug Mart, Winners and Sears.
The construction of these buildings proves that Alterra is a diverse developer and they aim to improve communities on every level. Alterra strives to have the highest construction standards in the entire industry and once again employ their tried and true philosophy into gathering their materials. They search for the best materials and goods from outside and bring them into their buildings.
Their integrity, dedication to community and unique philosophy have led them to create over 5,000 homes and have earned them awards for their condominiums. Robert Cooper looks to add to his life's achievements as he moves forward with his company to create the shape of entire communities.
Post House Condominium
This 21-storey high-rise is built amongst a concentration of Canadian Heritage Buildings and it was a challenge to re-define the historic landscape without sacrificing the culture of the community. The Post House bridged this gap beautifully. It is seconds away from the famous St. Lawrence Market and the reinvigorated Distillery District. It has luxury affordable residences with spacious 9-foot ceilings. It is located at 105 George Street and was completed in 2010.
This 20-unit building situated at the apex of a tree-lined street redefines the meaning of the word unique. Nestled in the heart of the exclusive Yorkville neighbourhood, each one of the luxury homes in this sought-after building are entirely different in both setting and style. It's located at 36 Hazelton Avenue and was completed in 2014.
Once an office for Bell Canada, this stylish building is located in Toronto's West end. The retrofitted and refurbished building features an exercise room, a yoga studio, a whirlpool and a sauna. The loft-style homes have ceilings that range from 10.6' to 16' feet in height and the panoramic windows feature fantastic views of the city and lake. It is located at 2 Fielding Road and was completed in 2010.
Chateau Parc
This 8-storey luxury condo building looks like it came out of a Disney movie. The building has a European flair and has a central location at the epicenter of Vaughan, North York, and Thornhill. Situated in a peaceful ravine, it has a TTC stop at its doorstep, and is directly accessible to major highways (401, 404, & 407). This is ideal for younger buyers who want access to the city, but require a certain level of style. It is located at 2 Maison Parc Court, and was completed in 2008.

As Matthew McConaughey would say, "Alright, alright, alright…" So, yes, it's been a little while since my last blog entry but I have not forgotten about you. Lots of tech issues lately but it looks like everything's being resolved.
In addition, lots of things in the air in terms of my and D's life–baby's due on Christmas Day, my pregnancy has now been classified as "high risk" due to a low placenta (medical term is placenta previa), baby hasn't been moving much for the past couple weeks (next check-up is 10/10), I'm looking into various grocery delivery services (for a few weeks after the birth of the baby), and we'll be moving, again, in early spring (we just don't know where–D was given a few possible locations for his next job but nothing has been set in stone), which is quite nerve-racking given the fact that I've been tasked with finding our new home (and, of course, with that, comes research on neighborhoods, school districts, real estate prices, etc.).
I will get back to writing poetry. Just haven't felt inspired lately due to everything that's been going on. Plus, I'm getting larger every day (as big as a house now). And errands and chores have become a bit cumbersome. The only thing I have been doing (happily and with great vigor) is eating. I had eggs every day for breakfast before the pregnancy. During the first and second trimester, I shunned them (guess that was my body's way of saying, "I've had enough."). Now, in the third trimester, I can't get enough of them. My favorite breakfast (and afternoon snack) has been eggs with tomatoes and spring onions. Recipe forthcoming.

Earlier, soldiers (which includes sailors and airmen too) were required to cast their vote by a postal ballot. The procedure devised for this was so convoluted that it was simply inoperative. Less than 10% votes ever reached in time to be taken into account. Thus a citizen's (soldier's) most fundamental right in a democracy was, by design, denied to him.
The Representation of The People's Act, 1950, and the Representation of People's Act, 1951, make a special provision for voting by postal ballot for those Indians who are living or posted abroad. The Act states, "Any person having 'service qualification' shall be deemed to be ordinary resident on any date in the constituency in which, but for his having such service qualification, he would have been ordinary resident on that date." It defines 'service qualification' means being member of the armed forces of the Union. The wife of a soldier residing with him too will be considered 'ordinary resident'. A change to this provision can be made by the government in consultation with the Election Commission (and not by the Election Commission on its own).
Therefore, the Election Commission's recent ruling that a soldier should have served in a constituency for three years to qualify to cast his vote is arbitrary and has no legal backing. The commission would be aware that less than 1% of soldiers remain posted in a given station for three years. This is yet another device to deny him his fundamental right.
The issue was raised with the commission (Manohar Singh Gill), who simply ignored the basic point and instead mooted the idea of proxy voting. He had either not read the Representation of People's Act or believed in denying the soldier his right to vote. So he mooted the idea of proxy voting which, according to the Act, is not applicable to a soldier.
However, on this suggestion, a committee of secretaries was formed to consider proxy voting by a soldier. The committee took three years to approve the proposal and came up with a system and procedure that was inoperative thus placing the soldier back to square one.
The moot question is as to why the government and the defence services supreme commander have been a party to the denial of the basic right of a soldier in a democracy. The Indian soldier has defended the Constitution not through debate but with his blood. Yet all manner of tricks have been devised these 65 years to deny him the right granted to him by the very Constitution in whose defence he has been laying down his life.
Soldiers stay away from their permanent place of residence for as long as 17 to 40 years with brief visits to places of permanent residence. A soldier may not be staying in a given military station (constituency) for more than two to two and a half years but soldiers as such are, for all practical purposes, permanent residents at such locations. So their interest in such constituencies is an essential feature and that is why they are considered 'ordinary residents' of such locations.
Though the Election Commission had realised the inappropriateness of its policy and accepted that soldiers can vote at the place of posting, as a second thought, perhaps not on its own, came up with the argument that presence of a large body of soldiers in Jammu and Kashmir and North East will influence the results in some of the constituencies in those areas. Soldiers are in these areas not of their own volition. They have been there for a long time, with no prospect of their being pulled out any time soon, and as such have a stake at those places as any other citizen.
The supreme commander of the armed forces needs to intervene and see that his troops are not denied their basic democratic right.

Carlin and Trident finalise 2011 drivers
Andrew Lewin
GP2 newcomers Carlin have announced their driver line-up for the 2011 GP2 and GP2 Asia series, while Trident Racing have announced who is to partner Stefano Coletti.
New British GP2 outfit have signed British driver Max Chilton for their first season in the series, racing alongside Russia's Mikhail Aleshin in both the GP2 and GP2 Asia series in 2011.
Despite being just 19-years-old, Chilton has already completed a full season in both GP2 and GP2 Asia. He drove for Ocean Racing Technology in the main series last year and finished in 24th position, having scored 3pts. His highest finish during the year was the sprint race at Monza. Previously he drove most of the 2009-10 GP2 Asia season for Barwa Addax, but his only points finishes came when he switched to Ocean for the second Abu Dhabi weekend.
Chilton had previously competed in the 2009 British F3 International Series, claiming two race wins and five podiums and taking 4th place in the championship driving for Carlin. He said: "I'm really happy to be back with Carlin; I have a lot of good memories from my time with the team in 2009 and it feels very right to be with them in GP2. I learnt a lot in my rookie season and I feel like I'm really going to be able to make the most of those lessons now with Carlin.
"I feel very confident that we have a package that will enable me to challenge for podiums this season."
Alongside him at Carlin will be Formula Renault 3.5 champion Mikhail Aleshin. The Moscow-born driver won three races and claimed eight podiums on his way to the title, making Aleshin the first Russian to have won an international championship.
"It is an amazing feeling to be with a great team again, especially after what we achieved together last year," he said. "I'd like to thank them for this opportunity. I know how important this year is for the team with it being their first season in GP2 and I am determined to give 100 per cent for them."

Aleshin said that the changes to the GP2 car this season will make it a much more even and competitive championship. "Also, the car this year will be even closer to an F1 car - in terms of power, aerodynamics and tyres, and this was one of the main reasons that I chose to race in GP2 this season."
"We have a very close working relationship with Mikhail. He is a very mature driver with a lot of experience who we expect to be a great asset to the team this season," said racing director Trevor Carlin. "Max had a fantastic season in F3 with us in 2009 and it's great to have him back racing with us this year. His experience in GP2 last year will prove invaluable to the team in 2011."
The Carlin team has been operating since 1996 when they were originally formed to operate a pit-stop challenge around Europe for the Williams F1 team. Since then the Hampshire-based outfit has grown into a full racing team and has competed in Porsche Supercup, Nissan World Series, Formula BMW UK, World Series by Renault and F3 Euro Series. They joined the GP3 series last year, and this year make their debut in GP2.

Meanwhile, Trident Racing also announced the signing of Rodolfo Gonzalez to complete their own driver line-up for the coming GP2 and GP2 Asia campaigns.
The Caracas, Venezuela-born driver has been in GP2 since replacing Andreas Zuber at FMS International in the 2008-9 GP2 Asia series. He was only given one-off weekend outings in the subsequent 2009 GP2 and 2009-10 GP2 Asia series, running for Trident, Arden International and Barwa Addax before finally getting a full season of GP2 starts with Arden last year. He scored 4pts during the season - all of them at the Belgium weekend at the end of August - and ended up in 24th position in the championship.
"I'm really satisfied to have with us a driver like Rodolfo, who proved, during the latest winter test he entered with our team, to have huge determination, and a strong will to emerge at the top," said team founder Maurizio Salvadori. "We'll be able to count on a really motivated racer with an one-year experience in the championship."
Gonzalez will be joined at Trident by Monaco-based driver Stefano Coletti, whose signing was announced by Trident last October. Coletti appeared in three races in GP2 in 2009 for Durango and last year competed in both GP3 and the Formula Renault 3.5 Series.
The first GP2 Asia race is on February 11, while GP2 is scheduled to begin on May 7 as one of the support events at the Turkish F1 Grand Prix.

It is often suggested to new parents that if they want their newborn baby to develop good sleeping habits, they should start with good sleeping routine. That essentially means that if you suffer from insomnia, have trouble falling asleep, staying asleep or just waking up through the night, perhaps you should develop a little bedtime routine of your own that may help you conquer sleep issues.
Depending on your goal and the time you would like already to be asleep at, give yourself plenty of time for your new bedtime routine. Once you develop the routine, stick to it every night and you will find that your body will relax naturally knowing it is the time to go to sleep.
In fact, if you could avoid drinking anything for at least 2 hours before bedtime that should be sufficient to empty your bladder in time and you should not be waking up to visit the washroom during night. Avoid any drinks that contain caffeine before bedtime, including coffee, Coca-cola or black tea.
Avoid eating anything at least 3 hours before bedtime. If you eat something, your body will work hard to process the food. The more complex the food is, your body will work harder to break it down. It is much harder to break down the steak dinner in your stomach vs. salad. Keep more complex foods for earlier in the day. Closer to bedtime stick to simple foods such as salads or simple carbs. If you need to eat meat for dinner, stick to chicken or turkey as they can naturally help your body produce melatonin and help you sleep. And whatever you do, do not overeat before bedtime, as it will take a long time for your body to digest the food and that can cause you to have disturbing dreams.
Chamomile tea helps you unwind, relaxes your mind and body and helps body prepare for sleeping. It also settles down the stomach and aids in better dinner processing. You can enjoy it with a teaspoon of honey if you need to sweeten it.
Warm cup of milk will help your body produce serotonin. Milk contains tryptophan which is the sleep inducing amino acid. Cup of warm milk before bedtime is an advice from the old days that seems to be true today too.
While most people prefer early morning shower to refresh and re-energize from the moment they wake up, taking a relaxing bath before bedtime may help you settle more easily into your bedtime routine and help you relax.
Run a warm bath and sprinkle some lavender and chamomile essential oils for aromatherapy effects. Essential oils need to be diluted in carrier oil first, such as olive, grapeseed, sweet almond or jojoba oil. Add about 20 drops of essential oil to 60 ml of carrier oil, shake it and pour below running faucet. You can also bathe in Epsom salts that have many beneficial properties for our body. It has been said that Cleopatra used to bathe in milk. While milk is definitely natural skin emollient (makes skin soft), our skin can absorb milk and help us produce melatonin for sleep inducing effects.
Spray lavender linen spray on your pillow or dilute lavender essential oil in carrier oil and spray around your pillow so you can inhale sweet and relaxing lavender scent while drifting off to a dreamland.
Lavender has calming and soothing scent that helps improve your mood. It can also ease headaches and improve respiration.
Bright light from your cell phone or tablet may keep you more alert than necessary before bedtime. If you must use your cell phone or tablet install application such as Screen Filter that essentially darkens your screen and does not put so much strain on your eyes. If you can, try reading a book before falling asleep as it is easier on the eyes.
Reading promotes relaxation and comfortable feelings. If you are using e-reader, use one that does not have increased screen lightning.
Some people like to listen to the sound machine which provides few options to choose from, such as ocean waves, rain drops, waterfall, or nature sounds. If you think this is something you may enjoy, purchase a sound machine that can automatically shut off after set period of time.
Sound machine may be beneficial as it can act as a white noise meaning it will reduce all other sounds around you, so you will not hear your dishwasher running at night or cars on the highway. Sound machine is a great tool if you do not like feeling alone in the dark as it may help you not hear any other noises around you and hence result in good night sleep.
Wear breathable night gown or pajama. Sleep naked if that is your preference as that way you will be cooler through the night and may end up having longer and deeper sleep. Make sure that you are comfortable in whatever your night time sleeping wear is. Cotton is always one of the best options. Do not wear anything too tight around your body.
If you prefer other fabrics, silk or flannel are also great choices. Do not wear wool or fleece fabrics to bed as you may overheat or cause skin irritation such as itchiness. Wearing fleece while sleeping may make you perspire, so it is best to avoid this fabric in your bedroom.
Do not forget that if your feet are too cold you may end up waking up too much through the night. It is OK to wear a pair of light cotton socks at bedtime if it will make you feel more comfortable.
Install blackout curtains or blinds on your bedroom windows and do not let any natural light come in before you are ready to wake up. Sunlight wakes us up naturally, so if you do not want to wake up earlier than necessary, consider keeping your bedroom in complete darkness while sleeping.
If this is not possible, try wearing sleeping mask that will cover your eyes and keep any light from waking you up.
Ideally, your room temperature while you sleep should be set between 16 to 18 degrees Celsius. Cover yourself with a light cover and breathe in cool night air.
If the temperature in your bedroom is higher than suggested, you may be too warm and end up being uncomfortable resulting in restless sleep. If your air temperature is lower than 16 degrees Celsius you may end up being too cold which may wake you up.
If you can, try sleeping on a stomach as being face down on the bed may make you feel more comfortable and relaxed. You will be less likely to toss and turn while sleeping on your stomach which may result in deeper sleep.
If you prefer sleeping on the side, research says to turn to your left so you can improve circulation in your body and prevent extra abdomen weight from pushing down on your liver. If you sleep on your right hand side you may worsen heartburn. Some people use body pillow either hugging it or placing it between their legs for optimum comfort.
If you find yourself being awake during night anyway, try imagining a white cloud floating all over you, surrounding you from all sides while you're on your bed lying down. Just imagine a mist floating down, in a calm and relaxing manner. Whiteness of the cloud should bring you inner peace and calm any stress.
If you find yourself thinking about the past or future events, acknowledge your thoughts and let them go. There is nothing you can do about them at the moment, but you do need your sleep. So focus on the peacefulness and serenity of the white cloud that makes your thoughts and everything around you clean and calming.

E3 2017: 10 TANTALIZING FIRST GLIMPSES OF NEW GAMES – PART 2
As this year's gaming hype-fest comes to a close in Los Angeles, we have been bombarded with trailers, reveals, press conferences, and over-the-top promotions to keep us going for the rest of this year and the next. It has certainly been one of the better conferences with all platforms acquitting themselves well (for once) and most importantly, focussing on the games!
There have been plenty of surprises and revelations this year, so here at HeroIndex.net we have put together our 10 favorite first glimpses of upcoming games that were shown for the first time at E3 2017. Unfortunately, this does mean games that had already shot their bolt before the conference do not qualify, no matter how good the likes of Battlefront II and Destiny 2 looked in their new trailers.
If you'd like to know about the games listed below, just click on the title and we will whisk you away to best footage currently available for the new games (just promise you'll come back, yeah?).
10. THE WAY OUT
Release: Early 2018
Platform(s): PC, PS4, Xbox One
This co-op only prison break game is directed by Josef Fares, who is previously responsible for charming and heart-rending Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons. Two players can pick either the roles of Leo or Vincent (locally or online) to navigate an escape from their incarceration and are given multiple paths to solve the various obstacles they face.
Anyone who played the superb, game-changing co-op in Portal 2 should feel right at home here in what was one of the more unique offerings at this year's E3.
9. ASSASSIN'S CREED: ORIGINS
After a much-needed break, the Assassin's Creed franchise is hoping to make a triumphant return by going back to the start of the rivalry between the Templars and the Assassins. Ancient Egypt is the setting this time and from what we've seen at E3, the game has been given an extra layer of polish and new gameplay features that have been sorely lacking in the recent iterations of Ubisoft's stab-em-up series.
It's understandable if you've developed either fatigue or trust issues (or both) with the franchise of late but this does look like a significant departure for the franchise on the current evidence. The last time Assassin's Creed stepped out of its comfort zone, we got the scintillating Black Flag so let's hope Origins can reach the same standard. Speaking of pirate games…
8. SKULL & BONES
Release: Late 2018
If you were thrilled by the sea-faring nature of Assassin's Creed: Black Flag but you could take or leave all those missions where you had to wait in some bushes while some ner-do-well finished their expositional duties, then Ubisoft has clearly heard your wishes. Skull & Bones takes all the naval aspects of Black Flags and puts them into a huge multiplayer open world for players around the world to work together or compete with each other to land the best booty.
No word yet as to whether Skull & Bones will be free-to-play or retail but if the game is as shown and is purely a non-narrative multiplayer experience then the former is more likely. Either way, the footage we've seen so far suggest there will be some fierce rivalries developing on the high-seas that are bound to leave some feeling a little salty.
7. METRO EXODUS
4A Games' Metro series has never quite gotten the mainstream success it has perhaps deserved with the previous two entries in the games series based on the post-apocalyptic novels of Dmitry Glukhovsky. That might be about to change, however, since stealth/survival horror is all the rage again these days and this series has always mixed both with fluid first-person shooting to produce compelling adventures through the wastelands and underground tunnels of a decimated Moscow.
Gameplay-wise there doesn't seem to be too much new on offer in what we've seen so far but so long as 4A continue to finely balance accessibility with verisimilitude then more of the same is welcome. But the Metro games have always relied on atmosphere as much as mechanics and the former looks to have been significantly enhanced by the greater graphical fidelity offered by today's consoles. Could this be enough to finally shine a brighter spotlight on to one of the most underrated franchises in gaming? Let's hope so.
6. WOLFENSTEIN II: THE NEW COLOSSUS
The granddaddy series of all shooters puts us once again in the shoes of BJ Blazkowicz as he battles against the Nazis in an alternative history where Hitler won WWII. If you haven't played Wolfenstein: The New Order then you're missing out on one of the finest single player campaigns of the current generation, not to mention one of the best written as well, but obviously enough of you have to justify the continuation of this franchise's magnificent return to form.
This time round it looks like The New Colossus will be doubling down on its distinct tech (essentially a steam-punk Metal Gear Solid) by giving BJ a new suit of foldable armor to play with. So long as the shooting is as smooth as the last entry and they can match the Tarantino-esque writing too then The New Colossus should enthrall existing fans and newcomers alike.
UPDATE: You can now read Part 2 of our 10 TANTALIZING NEW GAMES OF E3 2017 here.

CHICAGO — The Windy City Bulls, presented by BMO Harris Bank, the NBA G League affiliate of the Chicago Bulls, extended their season-long winning streak to three games with a 99-91 victory over the Raptors 905 on Wednesday night at Paramount Fine Foods Centre.
Four Windy City players scored in double figures, led by Kaiser Gates who collected his second-consecutive 20-point game and double-double. He tallied a team-high 22 points, 11 rebounds and six assists – all of which set career-highs. Jon Octeus collected a season-high 14 points and added two rebounds and three assists in a reserve role, while CJ Fair registered his third double-double of the season with 11 points, 10 rebounds and three assists. V.J. Beachem had 11 points, two rebounds, two assists, two steals and two blocks and Joe Kilgore pitched in with nine points and three steals.
The 905 were without the services of both Two-Way players, Jordan Loyd and Chris Boucher. Former Chicago Bull, Kay Felder led the way with a game-high 33 points to go with four rebounds, four assists and three steals. Duane Notice collected his first career 20-point game and tallied 23 points, while Khadeem Latin registered his second consecutive double-double with 10 points and 12 rebounds, accompanied by four steals and five blocked shots, which set career-highs.
To begin the game, Windy City's offense was clicking on all cylinders, allowing them to take control of the game from the outset. After missing their first two shots and falling behind by two, the Bulls rattled off 13 consecutive points to take an early 15-4 lead. The 11-point advantage eventually swelled to 20 as Windy City created separation with a 14-0 run late in the quarter. The 905 went the final three and a half minutes without a field goal and shot a season-low 14 percent in the period. On the flip side, Windy City shot 60 percent in the opening 12 minutes, with nearly half of their points coming from the three-point line. The Bulls scored a season-high 32 points and led by 23 at the end of the first quarter.
Windy City's offensive success persisted in the second period as they began the quarter on a 9-3 run to take a 41-12 lead, their largest of the night. However, the 905 found their rhythm and used an extended run to get themselves back in the game. In total, the Raptors outscored the Bulls 39-20 and concluded the quarter on a 34-11 run. The Bulls made eight field goals in the stanza, but the 905 poured in 15 makes from the floor, which was difference in the quarter. Windy City saw their 29-point lead shrink to four and led 52-48 at the intermission.
After dominating the second quarter, the 905 struggled to begin the second half, missing their first six shots from the floor. They totaled five points in the opening five minutes and it wasn't until the 6:57 mark when they ended their field goal drought on a three-point play by Notice. Conversely, Windy City scored the opening four points of the third quarter and retook a double-digit lead on a three-point basket by Hall. Following the basket, the 905 rattled off 10 of the next 13 points and sliced the lead to four but were unable to draw closer in the period. The Bulls closed the quarter with a 13-6 spurt and maintained their double-digit advantage heading into the final 12 minutes.
The Bulls extended their lead in the early portion of the fourth quarter as Kilgore nailed a three-pointer, giving Windy City an 81-68 lead with just under nine and a half minutes remaining in the game. The 905 didn't go away quietly and used one final run to make it interesting down the stretch. They trimmed the lead to three on a 20-10 spurt, which forced a Bulls timeout with 2:57 left to play. The Raptors made it a one possession game on several occasions but were unable to tie the contest at any juncture. Gates led the game charge, scoring 10 of his 22 points in the fourth, while making six throws in the final minute to secure the 99-91 Windy City victory.
With the win, Windy City picks up their second victory in franchise history and snap a two-game head-to-head losing streak. The Bulls have won three consecutive games for the first time since last season when they amassed six straight victories.

Q: Make method accessible only to other class I have two classes, Sensor and Channel. They are used by "plugging" a sensor in a channel (that is, setting the Sensor property of Channel with a Sensor instance). Then, when you call AddSamples in a Channel with a non-null Sensor, subscribers of Sensor.WhenNewSamples would be notified:
public abstract class Channel
{
    public Sensor Sensor { get; set; }

    public abstract void AddSamples(IEnumerable<double> samples)
}

public abstract class Sensor
{
    public abstract IObservable<double> WhenNewSamples { get; }

    internal abstract void AddSamples(IEnumerable<double> samples);
}

What I would like to achieve is a way to pass those samples internally, without having to create an exposed Sensor.AddSamples. Also, of course, it should work with subclasses defined in other assemblies, since Sensor and Channel are abstract, and defined in the domain model library.
UPDATE:
The following implementation would be fine, but it doesn't compile because Sensor.AddSamples is internal and the derived classes are in other assemblies:
public class ConcreteChannel : Channel
{
    public override void AddSamples(IEnumerable<double> samples)
    {
        // AddSamples below is inaccessible
        Sensor.AddSamples(samples);
    }
}

public class ConcreteSensor : Sensor
{
    Subject<double> _subject = new Subject<double>();

    public override IObservable<double> WhenNewSamples
    {
        get { return _subject.AsObservable(); }
    }

    // "No suitable method found to override"
    internal override void AddSamples(IEnumerable<double> samples)
    {
        samples.ToList().ForEach(s => _subject.OnNext(s));
    }
}

A: I have figured that I was delegating too much implementation details to subclasses, so one possible solution would be to use the Template Method design pattern, using three different methods in cooperation:

*

*One is the template method: a protected abstract method that should be fleshed out by the subclasses;

*Other is an internal non-virtual method implementing the "business logic": a call to the protected template method from an internal one;

*A public method in some "outer" class, forwarding the call to the internal method in the "inner" class.

That way, I get the following call stack:

*

*I call a public method in the outer subclass defined in client assembly;

*That method is actually implemented in the base class in core assembly, and calls the internal method from the inner base class also in core assembly;

*The internal method in client base class calls the protected template method, which is implemented by inner subclass in client assembly.

I tested and it works, so here are teh codez:
Core assembly:
public abstract class Channel
{
    // inner class is a property of outer class
    public Sensor Sensor { get; set; }

    // Public method in outer class calls internal method in inner class
    public void AddSamples(IEnumerable<double> samples)
    {
        Sensor?.AddSamplesInternal(samples);
    }
}

public abstract class Sensor
{
    // domain specific property exposing the effects of template method
    public abstract IObservable<double> WhenNewSamples { get; }

    // internal method forwards the call to a protected abstract "template" method
    internal void AddSamplesInternal(IEnumerable<double> samples)
    {
        AddSamplesProtected(samples);
    }

    // protected abstract method to be implemented by subclasses
    protected abstract void AddSamplesProtected(IEnumerable<double> samples);
}

Client assembly:
using System.Linq;
using System.Reactive.Linq;
using System.Reactive.Subjects;

public class ConcreteChannel : Channel
{
    // no need to do anything - public method defined in base class
}

public class ConcreteSensor : Sensor
{
    // domain specific implementation
    public override IObservable<double> WhenNewSamples
    {
        get { return _subject.AsObservable(); }
    }
    Subject<double> _subject = new Subject<double>();

    // template method implemented locally, but called from business logic present in core lib
    protected override void AddSamplesProtected(IEnumerable<double> samples)
    {
        samples.ToList().ForEach(sample => _subject.OnNext(sample));
    }
}

Sample program:
class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        ConcreteChannel channel = new ConcreteChannel();
        ConcreteSensor sensor = new ConcreteSensor();

        // "plugging" a sensor into a channel
        channel.Sensor = sensor;

        // "sensor" works as a data source for other client code
        sensor.WhenNewSamples.Subscribe(Console.WriteLine);

        // channel works as a data target for data coming from some server class
        channel.AddSamples(Enumerable.Range(0, 10).Select(Convert.ToDouble));
    }
}

Output:

A: You can use ability of nested classes to access private/protected members of parent class:
abstract class A
{
    protected abstract void SomeMethod();
}
abstract class B { }

class AA : A
{
    public class BB : B
    {
        public void Test(AA a) => a.SomeMethod(); // no problem to access it here
    }
    protected override void SomeMethod() { } // is not public
}

Everyone knows that recycling a car when it reaches the end of its life is important for the environment. But very few of us actually know what happens when you recycle a car. It's a good idea to sell cars for cash to A Wrecker as they will recycle it and pay you cash for the vehicle. But have you ever wondered what exactly goes on in a car recycling process? This article will provide you with a clear idea of what occurs when a car is recycled.
How Are the Parts Recycled?
When car parts are recycled, they can take on a different form altogether. For instance, the most common use for car tyres is to be reused to create pavements and as bases for new roads. Similarly, the glass from recycled cars are generally used to create tiles, countertops and even jewelry.
The car parts that are still in working condition will be reconditioned and sold as used auto parts. The metal frame of the car and any other metal parts that cannot be salvaged will be recycled to make new, recycled metal. Even liquids like oil and gas can be filtered and reused. But, in some instances, they can be beyond reuse, in which case they will have to be carefully disposed of.
The batteries are another component that can either be resold or recycled, depending on their condition.
What Is Eco-Friendly Car Disposal?
If you've been looking to SELL YOUR CAR FOR CASH to a car removal company, then chances are that you've come across the term 'eco-friendly car disposal'. Isn't car recycling in itself an eco-friendly option? So, how's an eco-friendly car disposal different from a regular car recycling process? Well, for starters, an eco-friendly car recycling process aims to minimise waste by reusing or recycling as much of the car as possible. Furthermore, they follow some industry set practices to recycle autos in the most environment friendly manner possible. If you have a scrap or old car that you want to dispose of in a responsible manner, then finding an eco-friendly car wrecker is a good place to start.
How Much Cash Can You Get for Recycling Your Car?
There's no standard answer for this question. How much cash you get will depend entirely on the condition of the car. For instance, Car 4 Cash, an established car removal company in Melbourne, pays from a few hundred dollars up to $9,999 cash for cars. How much your car will fetch you depends on its condition and how much value the car removal company sees in it.

Jeffrey L. Bewkes
While Jeff Bewkes only recently became president and CEO of the media behemoth at the beginning of this year, he has long been an influential executive at Time Warner HQ. Mr. Bewkes has been COO, as well as president, since 2005 and has run major parts of the disparate businesses of the conglomerate. That has included its digital assets, like AOL, despite the fact that he was also a prescient critic of the merger of AOL and Time Warner. Mr. Bewkes made his chops in the entertainment arena, especially at Time Warner's HBO division in its glory days of growth. With an undergraduate degree from Yale University and an MBA from Stanford Graduate School of Business, he also has an impressive educational pedigree. With all this, we'll want to know what he can dream up to keep Time Warner relevant in the Internet business.
