Spanish golfer José María Olazábal was bestowed with the 2013 Prince of Asturias Award for Sports, as made public on 19th September in Oviedo by the Jury responsible for conferring said Award.
The jury for this Award –convened by the Prince of Asturias Foundation– was chaired by Arancha Sánchez-Vicario Santacana and composed of José María Abad Casamayor, David Álvarez González, Abel Antón Rodrigo, Óscar Campillo Madrigal, Marisol Casado Estupiñán, Josep María Casanovas i Punti, Enrique Castro González, "Quini", Joaquín Folch Rusiñol-Corachán, Jorge Garbajosa Chaparro, María del Carmen Izquierdo Vergara, Javier Muñoz Gallego, Santiago Nolla Zayas, José Perurena López, Julián Redondo Pérez, María Rodríguez Escario and Josep Lluis Vilaseca i Guasch (acting as secretary).
This candidature was proposed by Gonzaga Escauriaza Barreiro, President of the Royal Spanish Golf Federation and seconded, among others, by the presidents of the golf federations of Hungary, Italy, England, France, Netherlands, Norway, United States, Portugal, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Czech Republic, Denmark, Scotland, Ukraine and Austria, the International Golf Federation and more than 2,000 signatures.
José María Olazábal was born in Hondarribia (Guipúzcoa) in 1966. He started playing golf at four years of age at the Royal Golf Club of San Sebastian, where his father worked. Before becoming a professional player in 1985, he won several amateur tournaments such as the Junior World Cup (Atlanta, 1982), the Gold Medal at the Mediterranean Games (Casablanca, 1983) and the British Youths Amateur Championship (1985). He won his first two European Tour titles in 1986: the Ebel European Masters Swiss Open and the Sanyo Open. That same year, he was named best rookie of the year on the European Tour Order of Merit, coming second in the overall rankings. He made his debut in the Ryder Cup in 1987, playing a crucial role alongside Severiano Ballesteros (1989 Prince of Asturias Award for Sports) in Europe's first win on American soil in the history of this competition. He won his first tournament in the United States in 1990, the World Series, held in Akron (Ohio). At the end of the 1994 season, he was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and stopped competing for two years.
Winner of the Augusta Masters Tournament on two occasions (1994 and 1999), he was a member of Europe's Ryder Cup team seven times, winning on four occasions. After his last appearance in the Ryder Cup (2006), he was elected captain of the European team in 2012, the second Spaniard to assume this responsibility after Severiano Ballesteros, who was captain in 1997. Furthermore, the European Tour Players Committee appointed him as the only candidate, the result of the admiration and respect that the figure of Olazábal awakens amongst professionals. His election also attracted praise from members of the US team. During the contest for the Ryder Cup, the only sporting competition in which Europe participates as a team, Olazábal showed great leadership, achieving victory over the United States on their own course. Against all odds, Europe rallied from four points behind, stealing victory in extremis in one of the moments considered epic in the golfing world. This victory has become known in the history of the sport as "the Miracle of Medinah", after the name of the course where the Ryder Cup was played. The final result was 14.5 points for Europe and 13.5 for the United States.
A world-renowned golfer, he is known for his competitive spirit and his ability to go even further. Holder of the honorific title of "Favourite Son" of Hondarribia, he has received the Gold Medal for Sporting Merit (1997). In 2009, he was elected to the prestigious World Golf Hall of Fame, which brings together a group of players considered the best in the history of the sport, being the only Spaniard, along with Severiano Ballesteros, to hold this honour.
This year a total of 19 candidatures from Andorra, Argentina, Hungary, India, Kenya, Sierra Leone, Slovenia, South Africa, The Philippines, United Kingdom, United States and Spain ran for the award.
This was the seventh of eight Prince of Asturias Awards to be bestowed this year for the thirty third time. The Prince of Asturias Award for the Arts went to Austrian filmmaker and playwright Michael Haneke, the Prince of Asturias Award for Social Sciences was given to Dutch sociologist Saskia Sassen, the Prince of Asturias Award for Communication and Humanities went to US photographer Annie Leibovitz , the Prince of Asturias Award for Technical and Scientific Research was jointly bestowed on physicists Peter Higgs (UK) and François Englert (Belgium), together with the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), the Prince of Asturias Award for Literature was given to Spanish writer Antonio Muñoz Molina and the Prince of Asturias Award for International Cooperation went to the Max Planck Society for the Advancement of Science. The Prince of Asturias Award for Concord will be announced 4th September.

Beto O'Rouke visits Bland — the county in Virginia that voted strongest for Donald Trump
The Roanoke Times | Aug. 30, 2019
BLAND — When Tommy Dunn got the call earlier this week that Democratic presidential candidate Beto O'Rourke wanted to meet voters at his diner and convenience store, he had to check his hearing.
"Beto O'Rourke wants to come here, to Bland County?" Dunn asked in disbelief.
Bland County voted more strongly for President Donald Trump in 2016 — 82.3% — than any other locality in Virginia. On Friday, about two dozen people crowded into the small diner in the back of the convenience store — past displayed Trump 2020 T-shirts and hats — and waited for O'Rourke to arrive.
"It's nice to be in a room with a bunch of Democrats," Bland resident Larry Newberry told everyone.
"Especially in Bland," Donna Muhly said.
"This is all of us," Randy Newberry joked.
Rather than camping out like the other candidates in Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina — the states that vote earliest for a party nominee — O'Rourke went to campaign where it's believed a presidential candidate has never gone before.
Some congressional and statewide candidates have in past years passed through Bland, an Appalachian county with a population of about 6,000 people that borders West Virginia. But in recent years, Democrats running in statewide races haven't bothered to show up there.
"That's why I'm here today, to make sure that we write nobody off, to take no one for granted, involve every single person in this election and this campaign and the future of this country," O'Rourke told the group.
Virginia's presidential primary will be March 3. O'Rourke has tossed out the presidential campaign playbook, much as he did during his narrow U.S. Senate loss to incumbent Republican Ted Cruz last year in Texas, where he visited every locality, no matter how red.
"We should not be surprised when they do not vote for us when we do not see eye to eye on given issues," O'Rourke said. "We just literally have not listened to one another and looked each other in the eye to have the necessary conversations."
Larry Newberry, a longtime Bland resident, asked attendees if within the past two years, they've donated money to help pay for a funeral or cover health care costs. He asked how many knew someone struggling to pay their rent or mortgage or bills. He wanted to know how many knew someone waiting on an organ transplant.
Many of the people raised their hands.
"Why in this vast country that we're trying to make great in the year 2019 should any of these things be happening?" Newberry said.
In a region that suffers from crumbling schools and low teacher pay, O'Rourke highlighted the need to upgrade infrastructure and provide proper school funding. He said he would pick a secretary of education with experience in the public schools system.
A woman asked about the future of a region that has seen a rapid decline in the coal industry. Financial resources are scarce to assist places affected by the coal downturn, so O'Rourke recommended boosting the size of community development finance institutions to deploy capital for developing new businesses. He also said it's important to transition to renewable energy quickly and fully.
O'Rourke was the first 2020 presidential candidate to visit Southwest Virginia, during his fourth time campaigning in the commonwealth.
He returned to Virginia for the first time since the Aug. 3 shooting in his hometown of El Paso, Texas, that left 22 people dead at a Walmart. Since that tragedy summoned him home, he has returned to the campaign trail focused on trying to hold Trump accountable by criticizing the president's incendiary language about Mexicans and people of color.
"We are as divided as we ever have been before," O'Rourke said. "And we have a president in the White House right now who seeks to drive us further apart, make us angry at one another or afraid of one another."
Those who attended the gathering said the United States has a proud history of being a nation of immigrants, and they worry about Trump's rhetoric and the damage it has done. Their region needs new residents, and they're concerned that immigrants wouldn't find it welcoming right now.
"I don't think they would feel safe," Muhly said.
Southwest Virginia used to vote for Democrats. But within the past decade, during declines in the coal industry and population, rural voters there and across the nation have flocked to the GOP. The region is now the most red in Virginia and Democrats have struggled to regain a foothold.
"We've been jumping up and down here in Appalachia for Democrats to come and listen to us," Newberry said. "For Beto to take the time to come and talk to us means a lot."
O'Rourke, who also made stop at the Wine Gourmet shop in Roanoke County on Friday, will continue his swing through Virginia in Charlottesville and Northern Virginia on Saturday. He'll attend a rally at the University of Virginia and appear with Democrats competing for General Assembly seats.
Virginia has a legislative election this year, and Democrats are pushing to take over the majority of the House of Delegates and Senate.
O'Rourke stressed the importance of Democrats taking General Assembly majorities so they can "accomplish a very ambitious agenda," like tackling gun violence. O'Rourke has called for universal background checks, a mandatory buyback program for assault weapons, a gun-licensing and registry system and limiting people to buying one gun a month.
"The road to America runs through the commonwealth of Virginia," O'Rourke said at a Virginia Tech rally following his visit to Bland.
O'Rourke stood alongside Del. Chris Hurst, D-Blacksburg, whose girlfriend Alison Parker and former colleague Adam Ward were both killed on live TV while doing a news broadcast for WDBJ (Channel 7). Hurst is on the ballot this fall, opposed by Republican Forrest Hite.
"We're not only fighting for the White House, we're fighting for the future of this country," Hurst said.
Hundreds of students crowded into an auditorium while many more gathered in an overflow area. O'Rourke reiterated he is writing no one off, including college students, a large portion of whom don't vote.
"It is the only way to bring this deeply divided, and highly polarized country together again," he said.


Broadly, there are two classes of novel. One just narrates stories, the other narrates meaningful stories. Stories that impact our lives. Peer-e-Kamil by Umera Ahmad belongs to the latter.
The story revolves around two Pakistanis, Imama Hashim and Salaar Sikandar. Imama, whose conversion to Islam invites all sorts of ordeals, wants to marry Dr Ansar Jalal because he loves the prophet more than anyone else and sings naat soulfully. It doesn't quite work out, though, as Ansar isn't the person she thought he was.
Salaar is Imama's neighbour. A smart, intelligent boy overcome by drug addiction. He had once attempted suicide, but not because he wanted to die. He wanted to "enjoy" the thrill of death. He wanted to find out, as he put it, what lay beyond ecstasy?
Imama hates the sight of Salaar. But fate has other plans for them. Being pressured to renounce her faith, Imama desperately wants to get out of her house. She seeks the help, of all people, Salaar. The plan is that he will ask for her hand in marriage and after a time, when things have settled down, divorce her. Salaar agreed to the proposal not out of sympathy for Imama, but because he saw another adventure in it.
Then, Salaar goes off to the US for higher studies. There, he's preoccupied with the questions that had driven him to suicide – what is ecstasy? what is pain? what is nothingness? what is hell? The struggle for answers leads him down the path of spiritual awakening. A consequence of this is that he starts to fall in love with Imama for she reflects the person he seeks to be now, one who suffers great pain for the sake of her belief, for the love of Peer-e-Kamil, peace be upon him.
Turns out, as a plot twist, that Salaar hadn't divorced Imama before he went to the US. She had called him once, years ago, to ask about it, but Salaar had declined to do it. The call had dropped mid-talk and they had never spoken again.
Imama had since shifted to Lahore, where she was taken in by a kind family. She had also changed her name to Amina to escape her family. Sometime later, Salaar too returns to Pakistan, only to be occupied by the thought of Imama. He blames himself for being partly responsible for her miseries. Thus pass eight years.
Imama completes her studies and finds a job. The family that had adopted her in Lahore presses her for marriage, but she keeps resisting since she is still technically married to Salaar. She tries getting in touch with him. She calls his phone, but it's his father who picks up. Since his family had also suffered due to this "adventure" of Salaar with Imama, she was told he had died some years back. Salaar, of course, doesn't know about this.
Eventually, Salaar shifts to Lahore, where he starts attending the religious lectures of Dr Sibt Ali. It so happens that Dr Sibt Ali's is the family that had adopted Imama. He takes Sibt Ali as his guide.
Imama, now Amina, can resist the pressure to get married only so much. So, her marriage is fixed. But on the day of the wedding, it becomes known that the groom had eloped with some other woman. Then, Sibt Ali requests Salaar to marry Amina. This leaves Salaar torn between his love for Imama and the loyalty to his spiritual guide. In the end, though, he agrees to marry Amina.
Cue pleasant surprises, sentimental back-story telling, a good dose of tears, and it is, as they say, happily ever after.
Peer-e-Kamil is essentially the story of two persons' conflicted but shared journey to spiritual awakening, love and devotion.

According to an international study by  Growth for Knowledge, we spend over four hours a week grooming our bodies to perfection. We do this to feel good about ourselves, to make a good impression and to set a good example for our children.   But what if we could do all of these and do something good for the environment at the same time? Imagine if all that lathering, brushing and plucking was even more worthwhile?  In this blog we look at Giki's Greener cosmetics badge and how it can help you find products that are natural and organic.
While most of us associate the term "organic" with the food that we eat, this can also be applied to the products we use on our skin. Organic certified products not only contain more natural ingredients, but by using them, you are also supporting companies that primarily focus on maximizing the use of renewable resources and recycling, minimizing pollution and waste and protecting local wildlife and animal welfare. That's why we look for products that have been certified organic by independent third parties. Even when products are not organic an increasing number of people want products with natural ingredients. This may be because they are avoiding certain chemicals which they find irritate their skin or because they worry about the impact of those same chemicals on their body when they are absorbed through the skin. As a result products that are made from certified natural ingredients are also included.
The challenge is that finding a natural and organic product is easier said than done because when it comes to greener cosmetics, it is slim pickings out there. According to our analysis of UK supermarket products, we found that your chances of finding a greener bath soap, shower gel or shampoo are one in a hundred. Finding a green bath product for babies would be like finding a needle in a haystack.
But don't sweat it - Giki is here to help!
Using the Giki  app and the Greener Cosmetics Badge,  we can help you decipher which of your current grooming products are better for the environment and find those 1 in 100 outsiders.  All you have to do is scan your shampoo or shower gel and we'll  tell you how they measure up.  Check out the alternatives if you want to find products that are awarded the Greener cosmetics badge. We can also help you figure out which other brands or products you could try out instead.
Scan 2 products in your bathroom. Check out the alternatives and, if you prefer them, let us know.

The university was formally founded on 21 July 2010 as Turkey's first foundation supported State University.
AGU admitted its first students in 2013 - 2014 Academic Year. Education is being conducted at the site of Turkey's first industrial complex, which is being transformed from a place of great historical significance to be a notable place of education. In the future, The University will be serving in a second campus known as Mimar Sinan.
As AGU aspires to its aim of being a research and teaching University of international standards, an institution playing a key role in its development will be the AGU Foundation.

Широкопадский район — упразднённая административно-территориальная единица в составе Сахалинской области, существовавшая в 1933—1963 годах.

История
Был образован решением президиума облисполкома от 19 февраля 1933 года как Пилевский район с центром в селе Пильво. 8 января 1934 года центр района был перенесён в село Широкая Падь. Создание района было официально подтверждено центральными властями лишь 5 июля 1936 года, при этом район уже носил название Широкопадский район.

1 февраля 1963 года Широкопадский район был упразднён. При этом Пильвинский с/с отошёл Кировскому району, а остальные с/с — Александровск-Сахалинскому горисполкому

Административно-территориальное устройство
Административный центр района — село Широкая Падь.

По данным 1940 года в район входили 4 сельских совета: Агневский, Най-Найский, Пильвинский, Широко-Падинский.

В состав района входили: районный центр — село Широкая Падь; сёла: Комсомольское, Пильво; посёлки: Агнево, Первая Речка, Чкалово, Мысовая.

Экономика
В районе очень хорошо были развиты рыбная и лесная отрасли.

В райцентре функционировали: Рыболовецкий колхоз, рыбный комбинат; райпромкомбмнат (изготавливал мебель, производил её ремонт), лесопиление, лесозаготовка, таростроение; судоремонтная станция, кирпичный завод, угольная шахта.

The road to Mandu leads through lush green countryside and then upwards through the forests of the Vindhya Mountains. We arrived at a gate to this fortified city and crossed into another time and place.
We found enchanted lakes and the ruins of majestic mogul palaces, mosques and pavilions. These were built between 1401 and 1529 by the Sultans of Malwa who called it Shadiabad, the city of joy.
What better way to explore Mandu's 23 square kilometres than by bicycle? There was little traffic and the leisurely pace allowed us to soak in the fresh air and lush countryside.
Mandu is considered to be one of India's most romantic and picturesque sites. But all the guidebooks unanimously recommend that the best time visit is during the monsoon – considered to be the most romantic season in India!
I had another Kodak moment that didn't happen in Mandu. Many men in Madhya Pradesh wear huge, colourful turbans. I saw two men go by on a motorcycle. They were wearing turbans: one was neon green… and the other fuchsia! But before I could reach for my camera, they were gone!
Did you see the Rani Rupmati ka mahal (palace) and did a local or guide show you how the Mughal conqueror (i forget his name) was able to see Rupmati through a bunch of mirrors from far away?
One way am glad Mandu is not high on the tourist radar. It makes this beautiful village more enjoyable. The heritage this place carries was quite a revelation for I knew nothing about Mandu till I actually planned a trip here.
Did anyone point out to the tomb in Mandu which inspired Emperor Shahajan to build the world famous Taj Mahal? Also the Rani Roopmati Pavillion was built in a record 48 hrs .. hard to get over that fact..
Its amazing the reach of these Emperors.Across India,in every tiny village or town you will find their forts,a summer palace,or a tomb and it can take you back in time to what India must have looked like in those days.

"Shifting Heirs and the Ferrars Estate"
posted by DR76
I have been a پرستار of Jane Austen's 1811 novel, "Sense and Sensibility" ever since I saw Ang Lee's 1995 adaptation. In fact, the 1995 movie initiated my appreciation of Austen's novel and other works. But there is a certain aspect of Austen's tale that has confused me for years. And it has to do with Edward and Robert Ferrars and their family's fortune.
"Sense and Sensibility" told the story of Elinor and Marianne Dashwood - the older two of three sisters that encountered love, heartache and romantic obstacles when their father's death and half-brother's...
Elinor and Marianne: The Battle of Realism and Romanticism

I believe that Jane Austen was way ahead of her time in a literary sense when writing her novels, especially "Sense and Sensibility." After reading the book and seeing the movie a billion times I have had plenty of opportunities to study and analyze (yes, I'm an analyzer) Elinor, Marianne, and their suitors.
In high school British literature, I chose to do a project on "Sense and Sensibility" and the مزید i broke the characters down, the مزید I began to see the differences between Elinor and Marianne and see how much they are a representation of realism and romanticism. (Both would later become...

link is a newly opened RPG site, dedicated to all Jane Austen characters and books. آپ have the opportunity to be a Jane Austen character, یا even create your own regency character!
With very few members, the majority of Austen's own characters are up for grabs!!
The only canon characters taken at the moment are Mr and Mrs Bennet, so plenty of places available.

For some reason, I still find it hard to believe that until recently, very few people were aware that the first adaptation of Jane Austen's 1811 novel, "Sense and Sensibility", dated as far back as 1971. After all, people have been aware of other Austen adaptations during this same period یا earlier. Even the Wikipedia site fails to mention it, except in connection with one of the cast members. What was about this four-part miniseries that eluded so many Austen fans?

Below is my review of the 1995 version of Jane Austen's 1811 novel, "Sense and Sensibility":
The سال 1995 saw the beginning of an onslaught of Britain and the United States' love affair with British author, Jane Austen. A love affair that has not abated after fourteen (14) years. In 1995, the BBC aired Andrew Davies' miniseries adaptation of Austen's most famous novel, "Pride and Prejudice". And later that year, Hollywood released its adaptation of another Austen, "Sense and Sensibility" - which I had just recently watched.

Q: Prove that Binomial Distribution is a discrete distribution? I struggled to come up with an approach and I'm not sure if induction is needed. Please help!
EDIT:
Thanks for all the quick feedback!
Is there a way to prove that for a random variable x with a binomial distribution, P(x=0) + P(x=1) + ... + P(x=n) = 1? Possibly through induction?

A: A random variable X is said to have the Binomial distribution with parameters $N,p$ if

$p(X =x) = \begin{cases}
       \binom{N}{x} \,\,p^x \,\,(1-p)^{N-x} & 0 \leq x \leq N \\\\
              0 & otherwise     \end{cases} $

since  the support of random variable is $\{0,1,2..,N\}$.we can conclude that it is discrete distribution
EDIT:
following is the classic (and elegant) proof if you know Binomial expansion
$ = \sum_{x=0}^N \binom{N}{x} \, p^x \, (1-p)^{N-x}$
$ =\Big( p + 1-p \Big)^N$ ( By binomial expansion )
$ = 1^{N}$
$ = 1$

A: If $X$ has binomial distribution with parameters $n$ (and $p$) then $P(X\in\{0,1,\dots,n\})=1$.
The set $\{0,1,\dots,n\}$ is a countable set.
This together states that binomial distribution can be labeled as a discrete distribution.

YellowJackets Set To Return To Kenya To Spread Powerful Message Of Music And Education
By Brian Alexander
In 2011, the men of the YellowJackets traveled to Kenya to help a struggling school improve student attendance by encouraging music education. Seven years later, the group is heading back to effect change on a much larger scale.
The project was titled "United We Sing" and it played a bigger role than simply being the group's 16th studio album. At the heart of the project was an idea of uniting people through music. The growing concern of limited music and art resources in schools is not just an American trend, but an epidemic plaguing scholastic institutions globally. And in this particular case, a lack of music programs in the Kenyan village of Maseno was having a devastating effect on the local students. Its effect, kids weren't showing up to school.
Enter the YellowJackets of the University of Rochester.
The all-male a cappella group realized that a hands-on approach was the best way for them to get involved. So, in the Summer of 2011, the group traveled to the Kenyan village to do their part.
After the school altered the curriculum to emphasize more music, which played a vital role in children returning to school, the YellowJackets spent time with students, creating bonds through music. It was also on this trip that the YellowJackets recorded their album "United We Sing" with the school's choir.
The trip was such an inspiration that the group returned home and continued pushing for music education in their own community by working with schools with limited music funding.
Fast forward to today and the men are back with an even bigger project and goal...inspire music education throughout all of Kenya. This summer, the YellowJackets will spend two and a half weeks travelling through various regions of Kenya on a quest for participating in a cultural and musical exchange with the community at large. Their travels will see them returning to Maseno, the village where it all began, along with Nairobi, Butere and Kisumu. In each of these locations, the group will visit and sing with grade schools and orphanages in hopes of spreading music to areas that could really benefit from it.
This will also be a learning experience for YellowJackets as they plan to use the experiences from this trip to better serve their Rochester community when they return. The knowledge garnered will equip them with the tools needed to "raise awareness of the impact of cultural exchange and music education on creating relationships with people across the world." The YellowJackets hope that this trip and service project will help motivate and inspire other a cappella groups to become active in their own communities and get them to spread the power of a cappella music.
One small caveat to such a massive undertaking is that a project of this magnitude comes at a steep price, literally. The group hopes to raise $30,000 for their travels and needs the help of the a cappella community to do so.
The group has established a support page where individuals and organizations can learn more about their upcoming trip, find out more information about the YellowJackets and donate to their cause to help them reach their financial goal. To contribute, go here: Donate to U of R YellowJackets
The campaign has just under three weeks left and any support will greatly help their cause. Help the YellowJackets spread music around the world!


It's funny how we re-learn the same lesson over and over again, but we don't realize it until we *think* we've learned it yet again. For instance: I have experienced, multiple times, just how important quality time is with my children, especially Chelsea. But in the last two days, I've experienced and learned it again.
Yesterday was kind of stinky. I did pretty good with being patient for most of the day, and then - I didn't (why oh why are you fighting me about going potty before quiet time?) So today, I really didn't want a repeat and I asked her to think of something she wanted me to do with her before quiet time today. She just wanted to play. I spent 10 minutes with her, building a Lego zoo and then, when I told her to give me a kiss before I left, she gave me a kiss, and I went upstairs. Now, that's not to say she was a perfectly perfect angel and stayed in her room for a full 90-120 minutes, but I decided that it really didn't matter so much if she came up a couple of times to show me something or tell me something (I'm trying to remember my 2016 word of the year).
I love these "aha" moments, when it feels like the sun is coming up over the horizon and you just feel warm and fuzzy inside. I think that's God's way of giving you a thumbs up.
Something else I've been thinking a lot about recently (because of the nesting instinct, really), is how grateful I am for my home and for the man who provides it. My house isn't totally where I want it yet (some walls leave me in a stupor), but every time I clean it up and look around, I feel so blessed to be where I am.
Well, hopefully this time next week, I'll have a babe to introduce to you, but we'll just have to wait and see! Thanks for stopping by!
This is such a sweet reminder. Praying for a healthy delivery soon!!


PRESCOTT, AZ, January 22, 2019 One of the downsides of growing houseplants in Arizona is keeping the environment humid enough to maintain the health of tropical plants, which often need jungle-like conditions to truly thrive. This isn't a problem for cactus aficionados, as these desert plants appreciate dry air. Although the sun is necessary for cactus health, many species can get by on three hours a day, a bright room, or simple lighting can help these specimens thrive in north-facing windows. A happy cactus may even surprise you with vibrant blooms, a bonus for plants that already thrill with architectural shapes and spiny textures. The slow growth and easy-care requirements of these eight popular varieties add Southwest interest to mixed container gardens. Where they really shine is as an elegant standalone specimen.
Angel Wings Cactus, Opunta Albispinia, is a member of the prickly pear family but is less spiny with evenly spaced clusters of hairs. This Mexican native grows clusters of pads up to two feet tall. Pale yellow blooms are followed by red, edible fruits on plants that grow under a bright window.
African Milk Tree, Euphorbia trigona, is one of those natural cactus specimens that make every grower feel like an expert. Also known as the cathedral plant, this cactus is unlikely to grow much past four feet indoors. Small green leaves grow between thorns on the ridged stems, and if you grow the rubra variety, the leaves turn a reddish-purple. Like all cactus, plant them in a quality cactus potting soil and water twice a month, and your African milk tree will live for decades.
Bishop's Cap Cactus, Astrophytum ornatum – the simple, spare shape looks striking with decorative gravel mulch and a substantial ceramic pot. Stiff spikes cover deeply ridged spheres, which can attain several feet in height. This cactus can form a white frosty coat that acts as a defense mechanism when exposed to hot sun. Water infrequently and provide plenty of warm sunny conditions if you want to see the yellow blooms develop.
Barrel Cactus, Ferocactus genus, lives up to its name of fierce cactus, covered with long, rigid spines that protect its juicy, edible pulp. Barrels live for many decades and eventually reaches a maximum height of 8 to 10 feet in the desert, but never as a houseplant. As a houseplant, the barrel cactus craves as much sun as possible, and limited irrigation coupled with a quality cactus potting soil.
Christmas Cactus, Schlumbergera, is toothless as cactus go, with its smooth leaves and soft, rounded spines. Tubular flowers come in red, pink, orange and white. This cactus species is a departure from ordinary cactus care, as the plant hails from Brazilian rain forests, where they live nestled in tree branches. Give your cactus filtered light and treat it like other tropical houseplants. Expose your plant to temperatures between 50-60 F as winter approaches and witness an impressive rebloom.
Rat Tail Cactus, Aporocactus flagelliformis, is better if your sunniest window only has room to accommodate a hanging basket. This plant is indigenous to Mexico, where the natives value its vibrant magenta blooms in traditional medicines for heart problems. Thick stems can trail down three feet, and very easy to grow.
Saguaro Cactus is for anyone who visits and Arizona desert and can't forget the sight. They don't grow at high altitude but can quickly fill a large indoor room. These majestic cacti live for centuries and take up to 40 years for a flower to appear. The slow growth rate makes it possible to grow one for many years as an indoor houseplant. Give your saguaro as much light as possible and water sparingly; about once a month should do it.
Old Lady Cactus, Mammillaria hahniana, is as full of personality as its elderly name suggests. She forms small colonies of ten-inch tall spheres, which feature white hairs and spines. Healthy plants may feature a halo of pink blooms like a crown atop her head. Plant this cactus in a quality cactus potting soil, and water every other week; monthly in winter.

Chuck Berghofer
Charles Curtis Berghofer, 14 June 1937, Denver, Colorado, USA. Born into a musical family (his grandfather had played with John Philip Sousa), Berghofer began playing trumpet at the age of eight, by which time his family had moved to California. He played various other brass instruments before turning to the double bass in his mid-teens. An admirer of Ralph Peña, he persuaded the older man to give him lessons. Two years after taking up the bass, Berghofer joined the orchestra led by Skinnay Ennis for a Midwest tour. He then joined pianist Bobby Troup where he remained for a number of years accompanying the pianist and his wife, singer Julie London. He replaced Peña in a duo with Pete Jolly, the group later expanding to a trio with drummer Nick Martinis, and then, in 1960, became a member of Shelly Manne's house band at the drummer's newly opened club, the Manne Hole. During the early 60s, Berghofer played with numerous leading jazzmen, including Jack Sheldon, Conte Candoli, Frank Rosolino, Rahsaan Roland Kirk and Philly Joe Jones.
Like many other leading musicians on the west coast, Berghofer began playing in the film, television and recording studios. Although most such musicians are doomed to a measure of anonymity, one of Berghofer's first recording gigs, backing Nancy Sinatra on a session on which she made 'These Boots Are Made For Walkin'', gave him a prominent role. As he told Jazz Journal International's Gordon Jack, 'That little semi-tone figure on the bass seemed to make the record and as a result I started doing about three pop record sessions a day all over town.' Among the pop singers with whom he recorded in the 60s were the Everly Brothers and Elvis Presley. He also worked on television with Glen Campbell, recorded with Frank Sinatra, and played on the soundtrack of Barbra Streisand's Funny Lady. His film work extends to a staggering 400 appearances leading to his being awarded in the mid-80s the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences Award as the most valuable bass player for four consecutive years. In that decade he recorded with Mel Tormé and later recorded again with Sinatra on Duets.
Despite all his studio activities Berghofer continued to play jazz, working with many noted artists during a spell when, with pianist Frank Strazzeri and drummer Nick Ceroli, he formed the semi-regular house band at Donte's in Los Angeles. An excellent video, recorded at Donte's in 1970, features Berghofer with pianist Roger Kellaway and drummer Larry Bunker backing Zoot Sims. Among others he accompanied were Art Pepper, Bob Cooper, Gerry Mulligan and Stan Getz.
Berghofer continued his eclectic gigging in the 90s, recording with Frank Capp's Juggernaut, Jolly, Buddy Greco and Keely Smith, and also visiting Europe. Berghofer has declared his influences to be Leroy Vinnegar, Paul Chambers and Ray Brown. He also admired the work of Scott La Faro and told Jack that, 'The best soloist on the instrument was Red Mitchell … I loved to hear him solo.' Berghofer's playing is distinguished by his huge, rich tone and the sense of relaxed power he brings his music.

Q: Could anyone please explain what the following code does and HOW it works? My teacher said it was javascript if that helps
function mystery(x) {
  x--;
  x|= x>> 1;
  x|= x>> 2;
  x|= x>> 4;
  x|= x>> 8;
  x|= x>> 16;
  x++;
  return x;
}

A: It finds the lowest power of two that is greater or equal to x. Alternately, everything after x-- will find the lowest bit that is left of all the ones in x-1.
For example, if you have x - 1 as
00010100111010100001010011101010

then mystery(x) will be
00100000000000000000000000000000

It first fills up all the zeroes that follow a one, by folding the ones to the right; after the first operation, every one will have one following it. Then we fold two-bit groups: every two ones will now become four. Then we fold four, then eight. Then we take out the big hammer, sixteen bits.
00010100111010100001000000001100  // x - 1
00011110111111110001100000001110  // after folding one bit
00011111111111111101111000001111  // after 2
00011111111111111111111111101111  // after 4
00011111111111111111111111111111  // after 8, and every step thereafter

Here, x++ will switch all ones to zero, making one carry to the next column:
00100000000000000000000000000000  // after x++

The weird decrement at the start is so we catch <= instead of strict <. For example, if we start with
00000000000000000000000000000100  // x
00000000000000000000000000000011  // after x--
00000000000000000000000000000011  // after folding, unchanged - they're all ones anyway
00000000000000000000000000000100  // after x++

A: The statement
x>> 1;

*

*Shifts x in binary representation 1 bits to the right, discarding bits shifted off

x|= x>> 1;

*

*Performs a bitwise OR on the result of x >> 1 with x and stores the result in x

A: The function mystery(x), gets the next highest power of 2 of a number x. The initial decrement statement (x--) makes the function returns the same value if the number is already a power of 2. mystery(x) will behave interestingly for signed integers when approaching INT_MAX_VALUE.
You could have derive this answer by graphing the function values for small values of x

            HttpContext.Current.Response.Cookies.Add(new HttpCookie(FormsAuthentication.FormsCookieName, encTicket));

As we can see, there is a user object which stores every info of the logged in user (Id, name, e-mail...)
The first problem that I see is that on the FormsAuthenticationTicket the user ID is passed as the name. And everytime I want to get any info from the user I have to do this:
Item user = Framework.Business.Item.Load(HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name);

The project uses master page, and on everypage I have to do this to get (ID, name and picture) of the logged user
By the way, at least the load method gets the userdate from a collection, BUT, this collection stores not only the users data but everydata data that need to be cached (since ID's are GUIDs) ids won't be duplicated and I think because os this reason, there is only one Collection for everything.
I would like to know if this is right, or what should I do to make it better

A: It's right. You don't need to worry about the code:
Item user = Framework.Business.Item.Load(HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name);

It's OK. The HttpContext.Current.User is (must be indeed) initialized automatically in every request. That's it.

Skyrim IRL TikTok Star Arrested, Charged With Murdering His Wife & Her Friend
The murders follow allegations of stalking and domestic violence
A screenshot from one of JinnKid's Skyrim videos
Screenshot: YouTube
Ali Nassar Abulaban, aka JinnKid, is the actor behind Skyrim In Real Life, a series of incredibly popular TikTok videos. He was arrested last week and charged with murdering two people, including his wife.
As NBC San Diego reports, police were called to an apartment in the city's East Village last week, where they discovered the bodies of two people, Abulaban's wife Ana (29) and her friend Rayburn Barron (28). It's believed that Ana and Barron had been having an affair, and that the Abulabans had been "in the process of ending the marriage."
Deputy District Attorney Taran Brast said that Ali had been "stalking" Ana since October 18, and that late last week he not only vandalized their apartment in a luxury complex, but "also installed an app on his daughter's iPad that allowed him to monitor activity in the apartment."
It's alleged that last Thursday afternoon, after Ali had "heard his wife with another man," he visited the apartment, found Barron there, and shot him three times in the head and neck, before also firing "one bullet into his wife's forehead." Video footage from a neighbouring apartment reportedly shows Ali leaving the building directly afterwards.
He then picked his five year-old daughter up from school, who was with him in the car when he was taken into custody shortly afterwards. Police believe that Abulaban was the one who called 911 and reported the murders. Prosecutors say the murders follow a domestic violence incident from last month:
Brast said there was an earlier incident of domestic violence that was reported in September, during which Ali pushed Ana, causing an injury in an incident that was witnessed by the couple's daughter. No restraining order was issued, however.
Posting as JinnKid, Abulaban had over the last few years amassed an online following that included 950,000 followers on TikTok, and 170,000 subscribers on YouTube. His last video, an impersonation of Tony Montana from Scarface, was uploaded only six days ago.
Abulaban is currently being held without bail awaiting a preliminary hearing on January 5.
UPDATE 11:26pm - A video of Abulaban's performances has been removed.

Železniční trať Hradec Králové – Turnov (v jízdním řádu pro cestující označená číslem 041) je jednokolejná železniční trať na severovýchodě Čech. Vede z Hradce Králové hlavního nádraží do Turnova přes Hněvčeves, Ostroměř, Jičín a Libuň.

Trať, jak je nyní provozována, sestává ze tří stavebních úseků s rozdílnou historií. Dodnes je na ní zachováno trojí staničení (kilometrické údaje se třemi různými počátky – viz průběh trati). Stavební délka trati činí 82,614 km, tarifní vzdálenost mezi koncovými stanicemi je 82 km. Do stanice Turnov jezdí osobní vlaky úvratí, protože trať od Jičína byla do nádraží přivedena až roku 1927 (do té doby končila ve stanici Turnov město) a napojuje se na kolejiště na protilehlé straně než stojí nádražní budova s nástupišti.

Od 7. dubna 2014 je kategorizována jako regionální dráha, do té doby byla částí celostátní dráhy.

Historie

Úsek Hradec Králové – Ostroměř
List povolení Františka Josefa Prvního ze dne 9. května 1881 daný ku stavbě a užívání železnice lokomotivní jakožto železnice místní s pravidelnou kolejí a provozovatí jízdu po nich, totiž (kromě jiných drah) ze štace Kralohradecké priv. Jihoseveroněmecké železnice spojovací do Vostroměře. Koncesionáři zavazují se stavbu hned započíti a nejdéle do 1. září 1882 stavbu dokonati, obecnou jízdu po ní zavésti.

Dráhu vlastnila společnost České obchodní dráhy od března 1882 až do svého zestátnění 1. ledna 1908.

Úsek Ostroměř – Jičín
List povolení Františka Josefa Prvního ze dne 8. září 1868 daný ku stavbě a užívání železnice lokomotivní nazvané "Rakouské železnice severozápadní" kteráž půjde (kromě jiných drah) z příhodného místa železnice Kolínsko-Mladoboleslavské do Trutnova. Koncesionáři zavazují se, že počnou stavěti v šesti měsících a dokonají stavbu i zavedou veřejnou jízdu po ní ve čtyřech létech.

Dráhu vlastnila a provozovala společnost Rakouská severozápadní dráha od prosince 1871 až do svého zestátnění 1.1.1908.

Úsek Jičín – Turnov
Listina o koncessi ze dne 7. prosince 1901 byla udělena ke stavbě a provozování lokomotivní železnice, která budiž zřízena jako místní dráha o rozchodu pravidelném z Jičínské stanice trati Ostroměřsko-Jičínské do Turnovské stanice. Koncessionář se zavazuje, že povolenou železnici počne ihned stavěti, ji nejdéle do dvou let postaví a pravidelnou vozbu po ní provozovati.

Dráhu vlastnila společnost Místní dráha Jičín – Rovensko – Turnov od října 1903 až do svého zestátnění 1. 1. 1925.

3 roll variable axis plate bending machines are used for bending medium to thick plates. They are very precise and easy to use. There are advantages by using this system where the two side rolls move horizontally – left and right, while the top roll moves up and down. When feeding the material into the machine it does not tilt up like it would on a double pinch three roll bender, but stays parallel to the ground allowing easier and safer material handling. When positioning the side rolls at their farthest position, you can increase the rolling capacity by up to 50% more than on a traditional 3 or 4 roll bending machine. Three driving rolls offer full control over the bending process.
ROLL DESIGN CALCULATION. It is the heart of the machines performance; it's what makes a ROCCIA plate roll different from the competition.
Roll camber calculation. Roll camber is required to counter act roll deflection that occurs as bending forces are applied, so as to ensure a perfect closing of the longitudinal seam, it is a vitally important factor. If the camber is calculated incorrectly, the result will be, (1) a barrel shaped cylinder ie not closing perfectly along the longitudinal seam, gap in the middle, (2) an hour glass shaped cylinder, the longitudinal seam touching in the middle, but not at the ends. ROCCIA roll dimensioning camber calculation are done on sophisticated 3D cad software that produces all the critical data required for every step of the rolling process. Roll calculations are seldom to standard formulae, no, they are calculated around customer requirements, this being, material type, mechanical strength, material thickness, the rolls cylinder length dimension. Only this way can we grant the performance and the precision of the plate rolling machine we manufacture for you.

Puppy Bowl referee Dan Schachner talks flags and cleanups
By Mandi Bierly Updated February 02, 2013 at 03:00 PM EST
PUPPY BOWL REF
Credit: Keith Barraclough
The Super Bowl isn't the only big game on Sunday. Animal Planet's Puppy Bowl IX premieres at 3 p.m. ET, and the hedgehog cheerleaders and aren't the only new additions. There's more cameras than ever before — in the puppy hot tub and embedded in the chew toys. For the second year, actor and voice-over artist Dan Schachner (who voices promos for Showtime's Shameless) suited up as The Ref. How does one get this job, and what does it entail? We asked him.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: You'd hosted specials for Animal Planet before, and when you heard the job of Puppy Bowl referee was open, you made a bold move.
DAN SCHACHNER: I took that audition as a personal challenge. I've been an actor for 12 years, but always done very traditional auditions. Animal Planet knew of me, but they weren't sure I'd be an appropriate ref. They had their doubts, so I put them at ease. Most auditions are a minute, minute-and-a-half, I think I made a 5-minute tape, all done on my silly little iPhone and edited on my little Mac computer. I showed myself doing everything that a ref could possibly do to prepare for the big game. So, I drove out to my sister's house on Long Island, she has a bunch of dogs, and did scrimmages in the backyard with the puppies, and showed what it would be like if I was actually trying to train dogs to prep for the big game. I showed me dealing with my own pets and trying to scrimmage with my two little boys. It was probably overkill, but I wanted to leave nothing to chance. I wanted this job.
How do you really prepare for game day?
It's a two-day process. We shot it back in November. One day is devoted to the kitten halftime show and the promos and opens and closes that we do, but the other full day is devoted to the Puppy Bowl itself. That's a full-day of shooting, 10 or 12 hours, to create a two-hour show. So for me, I have to be alert that entire time on so many levels. It's not just one set of puppies that come in, it's several sets of puppies that are rotated in and out of that playing field. I'm the only constant on the field. It sounds funny, but I make sure I get lots of sleep, that I eat well, that I'm healthy. [Laughs] I also do look at past game footage. I look at past moves, and things that we've allowed in the past, and what we're not going to allow this year. I talk to the director who's in the control room about the types of fouls that we're going to call and how we're gonna run the day. Last year was my rookie year, so in the beginning, like any rookie would, I would call fouls every time I saw them. But I learned this year to start to pick my battles a little bit. You can't foul them every time they pee. Puppies are gonna pee. Puppies are also gonna nap. Puppies are also gonna want to eat. Those are essentially the three things that they love doing all day long. So you really have to just call the most egregious fouls.
You throw a flag for "excessive cuteness." How do you decide when it's excessive?
Exactly. As I say, pick your battles. They're all cute in their own way. I've got to look at what's excessively cute. The way I look at it, it's always got to be a multiple situation — it's never one dog that can get penalized for being excessively cute. That would just blow up his ego way too big. It's got to be several dogs, usually three or more, doing something unbelievably cute, which I define as cuddling or doing that thing where dogs rub their noses together. It's got to be that level of cuteness. And again, nobody's relieving themselves — nobody's doing anything that would make you think anything other than 'cute.'
You also call a time out for napping. Then you hit the turf and the puppies descend on you. Is that your favorite moment?
My favorite moment is actually the first step out on to the field. The National Anthem, the promise and potential of all these dogs. I also appreciate it because that first step, the field is actually 100 percent clean and it's the cleanest it's gonna be all day.
As the ref, do you have to clean up messes, or does someone else take care of that?
They have a team. But now, I should also say, it's not beneath me. So if it's in front of me, and it's just easier for me to do it because I'm the only human on the field — which I often am — I will pick that stuff up, no problem. Sometimes it's on the other side of the field, or sometimes it's so, um, impressive, that I can't get to it by myself. That's too much information, I know.
But very nicely put. There's only one touchdown in the first half this year.
That's normal for us. Touchdowns are hard. Just like in regular football, it's a big deal when a touchdown is scored. Especially in this case, you'd think it'd be easy for a little toy to be dragged into an end zone, but most of the time, these puppies just want to pull that toy apart and run it around the field.
Does anyone ever encourage them to come to an end zone?
I'm not allowed to do anything, but what happens is, they do have their handlers, the animal trainers and people from the humane society, and they help out. So if they want to at least see a puppy running toward the end zone, they'll position them on the other side of the field and call to them. Sometimes that works. But remember, these are puppies who are between eight and 15 weeks old. They're not fully-trained obedient dogs who are going to do everything you say.
And what do people usually say to you when you tell them you're the Puppy Bowl referee. It is an unusual job to have.
It is. Well, it's great when you run into someone who hasn't heard of Puppy Bowl, which is becoming rarer and rarer with every year. But their look is like, 'You're what? Sorry?' That's the best part, describing what it is to people who have no idea: This is an actual football game, played by dogs, that airs during the Super Bowl. For people who do know the show, they're somewhat impressed, I guess. I think the reality of the situation is that they don't care about me, they care about these beautiful puppies, and that's okay. I've just got to get over that for my own ego.

4 Fundraising Secrets of Budding European Tech Startups
Behind the bustling European startup ecosystem, are the funding strategies which have enabled tech entrepreneurs to convert ideas into business ventures.
FREMONT, CA: Funding is the backbone of any technology startup. Europe, leading in building and running tech startups, has witnessed a lot of successful funding efforts. Startup companies in Europe have been able to generate high amounts in successive funding rounds, which have led to the creation of a healthy startup environment. When a company raises the right amount of funding, it can scale up and expand into new markets or diversify its products. Not only does funding play a role in securing the finances of a technology company, but it also powers a surge in ambitions and sentiments that are crucial for entrepreneurs in the process of building an enterprise. When one traces the success of funding strategies, a few common aspects come to the fore. With these strategies, European tech startups have been able to raise the bar in getting funded.
• Considering Milestones to Determine Valuation
The valuation of a tech startup depends on numerous factors. Certain milestones have proved especially critical when it comes to determining a startup's value. Apart from the milestones, the factor of risk is also important. Demarcating the reduction in risk increases the valuation. Each time startups get teams ready, with perfect workflows and optimise products for markets, they cross crucial milestones. Scheduling funding rounds, according to the milestones reached, is an effective way of attaining periodic finances that can boost resources.
• Reducing Risks to Attract Investors
Startup companies have been able to attract the attention of high-value investors by reducing risks. Proving to the financer that a startup is significantly free from risks generates trust and increases the flow of funding. European technology startups have found effective ways of projecting themselves as minimum-risk entities. Proving customer traction to investors is an excellent way to get funds in the initial stages of the startups. Getting technical experts to give opinions and forwarding the same to investors is also a good way of getting them to believe in a startup's ability to mitigate risks.
• Scaling Up with Sufficient Time in Hand
Startup companies that have planned up-scaling well in advance have seen great success in getting funding. Visibility is a major factor for startups, and those companies which have plans ready for growth are in a better position to take advantage of financing. This is how certain European tech startups have created better chances of getting funded. Creating the hallmark of a potentially successful startup gets investors interested, boosting the chances of finding easy financial backing.
• Taking Care of Networks, Making use of Accelerators
Finding investors is no simple task for startup companies, especially in Europe, which has an abundance of technology startups vying for finances. Having access to a network of investors simplifies the process substantially for startup companies. Casting a wide net, sometimes even on a global scale, has worked in favour of tech startups. Experienced individuals who have worked for raising funds also assist startups in streamlining financing of projects. Startup companies can also subscribe to business accelerators that support companies by mentoring and networking for funding.
Along with these strategies, some European tech startups have also made the most of angel investors, private equity firms, crowdfunding, and government loans and grants to ensure faster funding. Emulating these tech startups from Europe can enhance funding opportunities for all budding tech startups.

Q: Lubuntu Display brightness Just installed Lubuntu 14.10 on my machine.
I cannot change the display brightness. I have a slider in my power settings but it does nothing.
Cannot post screenshot of the slider because of no rep (WTF?!)
I tried the command

xbacklight -set 50

but it also does nothing.
(No outputs have backlight property)
What can I do?

A: I think a way to do this in software if you cannot change the brightness in hardware is through xrandr --output LVDS1  --brightness on the command line This will in software make it appear to be more dim or less bright. I found this info on http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/trusty/man1/xrandr.1.html
This is just making the screen appear more or less bright for each pixel however and will not improve battery life by reducing brightness in this way. As the backlight is still on the same strength as a given light takes more power to shine brighter.
So only do this if xbacklight doesn't work. To get a similar brightness to xbacklight -set 50 you would run xrandr --output LVDS --brightness 0.5. Of course if it is a desktop monitor it will be either VGA1 DVI1, or HDMI1 according to the input.
If it is an external monitor you can also change the brightness with buttons on the monitor even if you do not have the backlight property on your monitor like I don't have on my asus vs229-hp.

Steptoe and Son | Steptoe and Son - and Son !
This is no ordinary episode of 'Steptoe and Son'.
The episode starts in good spirits, with Albert reading Harold's diary 'What's he been doing that's worth writing about?'. 'The Dirty Little Devil...'.
The episode really picks up though when Albert receives a visitor - a young woman looking for Harold... a young woman who is heavily pregnant! Always observant, Albert realises what's going on and denies Harold lives there. 'I've been looking for him for months', she says, to which Albert quips 'Yeah, Eight by the look of it!'.
Harold: I've got a cart load out there!
Albert: Yeah, and you've got a pram load in there!
Harold: I don't believe I've had the pleasure!
So Harold decides to do the right thing and offers to marry her. He threatens his old Dad, but as the episode progresses, Albert comes to terms with it and we see some very nice and very real Father and son moments. Albert's going to be a Grandad after all!!
But then the episode takes a much more serious twist. This was one of the first times a situation comedy would leave the audience with a tear. We had seen a serious ending in 'The Offer', but as Harold discovers that he is not the father, and that he won't be getting married after all, we suddenly realise exactly what we are watching - the episode becomes a drama, with moving performances from both. You can actually see the pain in Albert's face as he watches his son's happiness being ripped away from him. There is no comic punchline, no twist in the tale, just a very sad ending to a wondrously funny episode.
Not only is it a true testament to these great actors, but also to the quality of the writing. In the 21st century we are used to comedy having such seriousness, fans of 'Only Fools and Horses' will say 'Amen' to that, but for 1970 it was very unusual.
The chemistry between the two men is wonderful and this special moment makes you realise just why you feel such empathy towards these two men who can often be very cruel. We also realise that despite their differences, the Father and Son love each other tremendously.
One of the finest scripts ever produced on television. This is comedy-drama at it's very best!
Harold's dreams have come true and he is getting married and having a baby in a matter of days.
