A Walk in the Woods – Hubbard Hall
January 26, 2019 January 26, 2019 ssugarman407 Actors, Drama	Hubbard Hall
Hubbard Hall in Cambridge, New York is presenting A Walk in the Woods by Lee Blessing this weekend and next. We saw it on the opening Friday and were most impressed. The play is based on actual nuclear proliferation talks that took place in Geneva Switzerland between Soviet Yuli Kvitsinsky and American Paul Nitz who left formal discussions for a walk in the woods. No one knows what was said during that walk. However, the talks in this play are engaging enough for the play to have been widely produced including in Moscow. Since it is only playing for the rest of this weekend and next weekend, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, we urge people to act fast. Bob and I discuss the production below. When you click on the Hubbard Hall link, you can order tickets, and also, when you go to Current Season, you can find some of the interviews that the actors and directors have given to others.

Hubbard Hall: The Velocity of Autumn
February 18, 2018 ssugarman407 Regional Theatre	Hubbard Hall
Hubbard Hall's upcoming production is The Velocity of Autumn which previews February 23 and opens on Saturday, February 24. The play is performed on three weekends. People should call for tickets quickly (518-677-2495) as it is performed in their smaller Freight Depot Theatre which has limited seating. Given the play that seems the right theatre for it since it is an intimate play.
Bob and I were fortunate to hear director David Snider and the cast, Christine Decker and Oliver Wadsworth talk about the play at Battenkill Books in Cambridge, just down the street from the main Hubbard Hall Theatre. We recorded the cast's enlightening discussion. At times you may not hear the questions from the audience, but the responses indicate what the questions were. The insights of the director and the cast made us eager to see the play. After you listen to them by clicking on the link below, you will share our feelings.

November 24, 2017 ssugarman407 Musical Theatre	Hubbard Hall
The Mystery of Edwin Drood is a delightful musical that Hubbard Hall is presenting on weekends until December 3. This is a new version of the play written specifically for Hubbard Hall which is a perfect setting for it. As David Snider, the director of the play and the Executive and Artistic Director of Hubbard Hall explains in the playbill, he heard that a theatre in Raleigh, North Carolina had done a shorter version of the play which David has admired since he saw it as a seventeen year old. He wrote the theatre and never heard from them. Instead, he received a phone call from Rupert Holmes. Holmes had written the play, the music and the lyrics. After a long telephone call, Holmes agreed to write a version which set the action at Hubbard Hall in 1895. Since his adopted name is Holmes, the year 1895 has special significance for the playwright/composer.
The result is a delightful production in a setting that enhances the play. Charles Dickens wrote the book on which the play is based. Unfortunately, Dickens did not finish the book because he died. However, as in all the productions of this play, it is the audience who finishes it by voting on the villain. Each performance may be resolved differently, not only in terms of the killer but also who will be the couple who find love and happiness at the play's end.
Bob and I went to opening night. We not only enjoyed the production, but had a chance to talk with Mr. Holmes and some of the actors. You can click on our discussion below. You can also click on the Hubbard Hall web site for tickets. We have also included the interview which Joe Donahue had with Rupert Holmes and David Snider on WAMC.

The Glass Menagerie – Hubbard Hall
April 15, 2017 ssugarman407 Directors, Plays, Regional Theatre	Hubbard Hall
The Glass Menagerie is probably Tennessee Williams most famous and frequently produced play. When one looks at one's favorite movies over and over again, one sees the performance one remembers. That is not true seeing a play you have seen before. Each production is unique. This was evident when I spoke to the director and two actors in Hubbard Hall's new production of The Glass Menagerie, performing weekends from April 22 to May 7.
Christine Decker, who plays Amanda, the mother in the play, Woodrow Proctor, who is the Gentleman Caller, and Roger Danforth who directed the play, shared their insights into The Glass Menagerie and showed why each production of a play is new. If this will be your first time seeing the play, it will be a memorable beginning to many more visits to this special household.
Listen to their discussion by clicking on the links below and then contact Hubbard Hall to get tickets for the play.

Interviewing play director, Kirk Jackson and dramaturg Sam Levitt made us even more eager to attend the performance.

Hubbard Hall The Farm Project
January 19, 2017 ssugarman407 Regional Theatre	Hubbard Hall
For the past two years, Hubbard Hall has offered a Winter Carnival Festival of New Work. This year the festival is different in that it focuses on the theme of farming. David Snider, the Artistic Director of Hubbard Hall, has a commitment to theatre as a force in the community. In this project, the school community and the farming community are brought together to tell the stories of the farmers in the area. The unique work that has been created includes material from interviews with farmers that students from three different area schools collected as well as the poems, monologues and scenes that the students created in response to their research. These will be enacted by area performers including members of the farming community. There will be a talk back after each performance so that the audience and the performers can share their responses.
This theatrical collage will open on Saturday, January 21 at 2 pm and 7:30 pm and play on Sunday at 2 pm. It will also be performed on the following weekend starting Friday, January 27 at 7:30.pm and continuing on Saturday and Sunday with the same hours. The performances are at the Freight Depot, which is an intimate space so call for tickets early.

Private sector IR35 reform to be delayed until 2020
On Monday 29 October, Chancellor Philip Hammond announced as part of his Autumn Budget announcements that the extension of recent IR35 rules to the private sector would be delayed until April 2020.
The news should come as welcome relief to many contractors who previously feared that the extension of the reforms would be rolled out much sooner.
As part of his Budget announcements, the Chancellor explained that implementing such changes too soon would prove problematic for both contractors and businesses. As such, it has now been confirmed that the changes will not only be delayed, but that only "medium-sized and large businesses" will be affected.
Mr Hammond said: "The Government has carefully considered all of the responses received and we are now in a position to propose extending rules similar to the April 2017 public sector off-payroll working reform to the private sector.
"Having listened to concerns, the changes for the private sector will be introduced from April 2020 for medium-sized and large businesses only," he added.
What do the changes mean?
It is thought that the upcoming changes, which are expected to 'mirror' those of the public sector, will shift the responsibility for determining IR35 status.
This will mean that from 6 April 2020 onwards, any contractors engaged with a large or medium-sized client will have their IR35 status determined by that client. However, those engaged to any small businesses will be able to continue operating as per usual, and will remain responsible for determining their own status.
In instances involving medium-sized or larger businesses where IR35 is found to apply, the 'fee payer' will be held responsible for deducting any National Insurance Contributions (NICs) and PAYE at source from any income paid to the contractor.
According to reports, a further consultation into the matter is due to be published "in the coming months."
This consultation is expected to further outline the new rules and how they will operate. So far, it has been confirmed that the definition of "medium and large clients" will be similar to that outlined in the Companies Act 2006. This Act requires at least two of the following conditions to apply before a company is deemed medium or large:
It has a net turnover of more than £10.2 million.
It has a balance sheet totalling more than £5.1 million.
It employees 50 employees or more.
As part of the Budget announcements, a response to previous consultations has also been released, which documents as many as 275 responses from stakeholders of all shapes and sizes.
What should contractors do now?
Private sector contractors need to take note of the new changes and ensure they continue to take responsibility for determining their own IR35 status ahead of April 2020.
Contractors should also continue to carry out regular contractor reviews and ensure they are protected against any enquiries.

Q: GA Event not firing within JQuery click function I'm trying to fire a GA event on click of a button using JQuery to select the element. Like so:
$(conversion_add_to_cart).click(function(){
  ga('send', 'event', 'Tracking', 'conversion', 'add_to_cart');
});

If I put the event outside of the click function it fires as expected. The click function certain works as an alert() correctly fires if I put it inside the click function:
$(conversion_add_to_cart).click(function(){
  alert('Hello world')
  ga('send', 'event', 'Tracking', 'conversion', 'add_to_cart');
});

Still the GA event doesn't fire. Does anybody know why it works outside of the click function but not within it?

A: Hmm are there any errors being thrown? Everything seems good based on your code snippet. Only thing I can think of is it might possibly have something to do with scope, but it seems unlikely. Try changing your function to an arrow function, to rule out the scope issue. So something like
$(conversion_add_to_cart).click(() => {
  ga('send', 'event', 'Tracking', 'conversion', 'add_to_cart');
});

Boulevard des Capucines är en av de fyra stora boulevarder som löper öst-västligt genom Paris norra innerstad. Den är namngiven efter Kapucinorden som hade ett konvent utmed gatans södra sida fram till franska revolutionen.

Historia
I april 1874 hölls den första impressionist-utställningen i Félix Nadars fotoateljé på 35 Boulevard des Capucines. På utställningen deltog bland annat Auguste Renoir, Édouard Manet och Camille Pissarro. Claude Monet ställde ut tolv målningar, däribland Impression – Soluppgång, som givit konstriktningen dess namn, och Boulevard des Capucines.

På 14 Boulevard des Capucines på Grand Cafés biljardhall, Salon Indien, hölls den 28 december 1895 den första filmuppvisningen för en betalande publik. Det var bröderna Auguste och Louis Lumière som visade tio filmer, däribland Arbetarna lämnar Lumières fabrik i Lyon. För närvarande står Hotell Scribé på samma plats.

Indiana Packers Corporation
COVID-19 was a major disruptor for meatpacking facilities.
See how NewPoint helped one meatpacker stay ahead of the curve to keep operations running.
As a major food producer and part of the nation's critical infrastructure, Indiana Packers Corporation (IPC) couldn't just sit on the sidelines and wait to see how others handled the arrival of COVID-19, no matter how unprecedented an event it was. Instead, IPC took a proactive approach. It formed a COVID Task Force in February 2020 and tapping NewPoint to assist with a fast-moving communications strategy to keep both employees and the public informed and at ease.
On the one hand, consumers needed reassurance that product would be both available and safe to eat during the pandemic's early days, and local communities wanted evidence that the company was working to prevent becoming another hotbed for the virus. On the other hand, IPC employees needed to be kept abreast of workplace changes as well as encouraged to act safely off the clock to minimize the risk of spreading infection on the clock. With these audiences in mind, NewPoint developed a multichannel communications plan that included press releases, billboards, social media, workplaces posters and infographics direct mail to employees and their own FAQ page on the company website.
Looking back, IPC's proactive communications approach played an integral role in keeping its infection rate 4-to-5x lower than other workplaces, and its only shutdown was a brief one to install new protective equipment like plexiglass and sanitizer stations. The most important stamp of approval, however, came from IPC employees themselves. When interviewed in February 2021, almost across the board IPC team members voiced their confidence in their employer and their satisfaction that their health and wellbeing was prioritized above all else.
Project Components:
• Direct mail • Website development • Social media • Print media • Press releases • Billboards

The varied and spectacular Isle of Mull wildlife is one of the island's biggest attractions. Here are some of the most unique Mull wildlife moments spotted in 2017.
On Mull we're fortunate to be able to observe kings of the airwaves on a regular basis: Golden and White-Tailed Eagles. But Mull being an island, it is surrounded by the largest habitat on planet Earth, the ocean. On a rare occasion you may even get to see marine royalty and the ocean's top predator patrolling the big blue… Orca.
Whether you come for the wildlife, the untouched landscapes or the colorful charm of Tobermory, the first step to planning your holiday on Mull is to choose where on the island you actually want to stay.
From beaches to loch shores and remote retreats, there are many idyllic holiday cottages on Mull for you to make your base. And wherever you choose, the beauty of this island is that nowhere is out of reach. Hop in the car and the entire island is within reach (and a few others too, if you don't mind swapping the car for a boat!).
Here, we share six of our favourite locations for holiday cottages on Mull to help you find the best one for you. And if you know what you want to see but not where to go to see it, get in touch with our family-run business to pick our brains for ten years' worth of local knowledge. With an exclusive collection of over 80 cottages on the island, choose your destination and your perfect island getaway won't be far away.
I was a latecomer to Mull. Shamefully late in fact. Having moved to Scotland in 2003 and consciously making the decision at that point to explore every corner of my adopted home, it was 12 long years before I set foot on the island. It wasn't until my second visit that I experienced autumn on Mull.
My first obstacle was an earnest but naïve fixation on climbing munros (Scotland's 282 hills over 3000ft) and ONLY munros. I did so with single-minded determination for the first few years. In so doing I completely overlooked the walking potential of rugged 'lesser' hills on the islands or the unique atmosphere and challenges of their wild, convoluted coastlines… two things Mull has in spades. But when that fixation happily abated, a second and unexpected obstacle took its place.
One of the special things about being on an island is that sense of removal from the hustle and bustle of mainland life. With water all around, the peace and quiet and breathtaking views can begin to work their magic! We've put together a selection of our most remote holiday cottages on the Isle of Mull. These cottages offer guests a sense of total privacy and solitude in the most stunning of scenery.

Franciscan rugby takes loss to Robert Morris
BY RYAN HELD
Franciscan University's rugby team fought hard against the Robert Morris Colonials but to no avail, losing 26-12 on Saturday.
Conditions for the game were not ideal for the players. The field was wet and slippery due to rain over the previous few days. Weather conditions during the game were also poor as it was cold and windy for the duration of the match.
Kick-off was at 1 p.m. and the action started quickly. The Barons found themselves driven deep into their own territory early and just two minutes into the game Robert Morris took the lead with a successful try.
Franciscan responded immediately with a try of its own, scored by Jeffrey Baldwin at the 36-minute mark.
Play slowed during the next few minutes as the game became very physical. Neither team showed the ability to maintain lasting possession and there were a large number of turnovers.
"We turned the ball over 22 times," said Head Coach Chris Courtnell. "You can't be a good team and turn the ball over 22 times."
At the 6:30 minute, the Barons secured their only lead of the game with a hard fought try from James Weiss. The lead did not last long as the Colonials responded with their own try two minutes later, bringing the score at the half to 14-12.
As the second half got underway, the momentum was with Robert Morris. The Barons never got back into the game. Ten minutes into the half, the Colonials made another try, extending their lead to 21-12.
The Barons suffered several injuries in the second half, but Courtnell said that it did not play into the flow of the game.
"I never like to say that injuries cost us a game," said Courtnell. "We win as a team and we lose as a team."
The Barons continued to turn the ball over throughout the second half, and it was only a matter of time before Robert Morris scored again. With five minutes left, the Colonials scored the last try of the game, bringing the final score to 26-12.
"We knew that Robert Morris was a solid team," said Courtnell. "They played a strong game today. There were moments when we played well. We had good possession and some moments of momentum, but, in the end, we just made too many mistakes."
Courtnell said that the number one adjustment that needs to be made is possession. In order for a team to win it must retain possession, he said. Despite the loss, Courtnell said there were several strong performances including that of Brendan Linehan, who was named man of the match.
The Barons' next game will be at Point Park University on Saturday, Sept. 19.

The Joust of the Star (la Giostra della Stella)
I am comforted by the fact that the official website doesn't have good photos either.
I mentioned a few weeks ago a busy week including a Joust. The Joust in question was the Giostra della Stella (Joust of the Star), is held in Bagno a Ripoli, formerly its own town, now legally a Florentine suburb. When it was annexed (20th century) in order to maintain civic identity it started having a reconstructed joust every autumn. This is not a tourist event–indeed it is hard to reach by any means, and nearly 100% of the audience were locals–but a civic pride event, and competition.
The town of Bagno a Ripoli is divided into four historic quarters, the quarters of the Mill, the Horse, the Tower and the Standard-Bearer, each with its own crest and coat of arms, and horseman. The four competitors, professionals brought in from out of town, joust for the honor of the four quarters, to loud and enthusiasm from the spectators. Shields and pennants bearing the quarters' arms decorate the field and street, and the townsfolk dress in t-shirts and colors to designate their sides.
The Team of the Horse gets my "biggest flag" award
The joust is held at night, in the dark, hence the lack of good photos. One reason for the darkness is the temperature and blazing sun, but the other is that the afternoon is reserved for a different contest: an old-fashioned sports day competition between the quarters' teams.
This I do have photos of, as the warring quarters compete at tug-of-war, sack races, a race with an egg balanced on a spoon, and, on the nearby roadside, running while pushing a wooden hoop along with a stick, and running while pushing a partner on a wooden cart. The tug-of-war was by far the most dramatic competition, with much preparation and debate and measuring to the inch where each starting foot is placed, while each actual competition lasted only a few seconds before one side fell, grumbling, in the dust.
The Tower team, best use of cardboard
The Mill team, content after the cart race
Junior flag-tossers enter the field
I wish we did this in MY middle school
The flag tossers were also extraordinary, with an exhibition by the junior trainee flag tossing team, and a stunning performance by the adult team with double flags, one in each hand, which were tossed and spun in mesmerizing close-quarters patterns and tossed from person to person in complex, interwoven dances.
One participant enjoys a panino before the procession
I have no decent photos of the joust itself because this is a night joust, held by electric light in a charming field well after dinner, so crowds can enjoy the late summer outdoors without baking in the sun. I can only describe, therefore, the stunning costume pageant which precedes it, in which at least a hundred participants in perfect sixteenth century costume parade along the street to take their seats in the reserved stands. The thoroughness and variety of the costuming puts most Florentine pageants to shame. Musicians in the town livery began the parade, and the town militia, and the Podesta of the town with his ministers following behind the city standard. Monks and an abbot joined them, touch-bearers, peasants with baskets of harvest foods, and a portable maypole which skilled children circled even as they processed. There were noble representatives of specific grand houses of Florence and its allies too, each group including lord, lady, clients, servants, even children in tiny doublets or toddlers' bodices, all led by a standard bearer with the family crest, so a sharp eye might pick out a Strozzi and a Medici among the crowd. The detail was exquisite, from the strings of pearls woven through the ladies' hair to the heavy texture of the gentlemen's trailing sleeves. Many of the lords' and ladies' costumes were recreations from specific portraits, and even the gems embroidered onto layered pleats were executed to perfection. To perfect the display of civic pride, the part of the Podesta, in his long velvet, was played by the actual top official of the town, and several other leading magistrates participated as his entourage.
One of my less bad photos; here you can see the maypole, and the monks
The Joust itself was a style I had never managed to see before myself. I am, of course, serious about watching jousts, both from attending numerous Renn Fests and from calling Maryland home, whose state sport is still jousting (though in 2004, despite the noble efforts of many, this noble remnant of grander days was perniciously adulterated by the election of lacrosse as the state "team sport"). I may not be so elite a jousting snob as I am a gelato snob, but I am picky, and this was excellent.
The primary banners that follow the Podesta into the grand arena are those of the city of Bagno a Ripoli, of the allied City of Florence, and of the Guelph party
The "star joust" uses small, light horses, trained for speed, who race full tilt around a small looped race course while the rider attempts to capture a metal star with a hole in the center using–not a lance–but a sword. The rider must make two loops in 30 seconds, making one attempt at a star each time, receiving points for each star captured, and in case of a tie in points, speed is the tie-breaker. Three rounds of increasing difficulty are held, using stars with smaller and smaller center holes, and the later stars give more points. So trained for speed are these slim horses that, unlike the heavy, docile animals used at American fairgrounds, these were spirited to the point of disobedience, balking from unfamiliar objects, bursting into short jolts of speed without instruction, and one knight needed five attempts to get the beast to take him close enough to his lady to receive her favor.
The display of athleticism, on the part of horse and rider, was gorgeous, and in the electric light the smooth backs and haunches of the horses rippled and shimmered like silk, especially on the pale gray one that looked like polished pewter. One could see through the thin fur and taut skin the motion of the muscles, and, since the horses went one-by-one, the gallop was all startlingly quiet, not the thunder of hooves one generally hears with many horses racing, but a light percussion, barely audible except when the horse passed close.
The crowd during the athletic festival - very vocal, very local
Equally fascinating was the cheering, or rather the booing, of the crowd. The math will tell you why. In a town divided into four quarters with one rider representing each, three quarters of the audience are disappointed whenever one rider does well. Thus, the booing will always be as loud if not much louder than the cheering, and however much praise may rain down from sympathetic slopes, the capture of a star always solicits a general moan. Given the usual adrenalizing effect cheers have on an athlete, I do wonder what chill a string of gasps and curses instills. This was ever so much more true of the rider in red and white representing the quarter of the Standard-Bearer, because, (as a kindly old local rumormonger explained) due to one of those sorts of dramatic falling out incidents that often destroys a school club or bowling team, that quarter did not have a team in the earlier day's athletic contests, and had no team spirit. Thus, when that rider succeeded, everyone, the whole crowd, booed, or condescended to recognize his skill with a spattering of disjointed, grudging applause. In fact, it was this lest popular horseman who triumphed that evening, to the general satisfaction of… me? No one else? The rider cast in that role was, in fact, the most experienced, and this was his eighth victory at this particular joust, though a different rider was riding the horse which (with a different man on his back) won last year.
Victory in the athletic contest is also announced at the finale of the joust. This year it was the Mill team. Motto: "We grind all year, and today we'll grind you!"
A true shadow, which very nearly thwarted the joust entirely, fell across the camp mid-way through, and incited a half hour of eerily legend-like suspense. The sword broke. Mid-way through, it got dinged or bent or something, and the announcer in his grand robes declared a halt. Men in colorful livery scattered across the grounds checking equipment. They didn't have a spare. There was only the one sword, and without it the jousters milled aimless in the courtyard, their horses becoming increasingly touchy and obstreperous as they milled the hedged waiting box. It was at this point that it occurred to me that we were at a joust, and somebody lost the sword, and squires were off looking for one, and while Italy seemed an unlikely place for a boy to suddenly become King of England, this was still quite the circumstance. In the end they turned to the costumed crowd, and asked all the gentlemen, the Medici, the Strozzi, the knights and guardsmen, to all bring their swords to the front so the officiators could select the one most physically similar to the lost official version. Thus we confirm that it is vital for half the crowd to come to any joust in costume. The sword replaced, the joust concluded with the victory of the very excellent knight-whom-no-one-liked, and fireworks. And a long, awkward attempt to get a taxi home at midnight.

Mac Harb not your typical politician
Susan Sherring
May 13, 2013 • Last Updated May 13, 2013 • 3 minute read
Does Mac Harb still believe human clones walk among us?
Until recently, Sen. Mac Harb rarely made the headlines, but when he did —
it generally wasn't in a positive light.
When he declared, as a Liberal MP back in 2001, he believed human clones were walking among us, well, the media had a heyday.
His comments are still standouts for his time as a politician.
It would be a sad reflection on his political career if the only thing which overshadows that memory is the most recent scandal surrounding his spending in the Senate.
That of course, will be for Harb to wear.
He hasn't attempted publicly to explain how he claimed a waterfront property in Pembroke on the public's dime.
There is, of course, a difference between knowingly breaking the law, and simply doing something immoral because you can — and it doesn't break the law.
As someone who has known Harb for several decades, it would be good to hear the hows and whys.
Certainly, throughout his years of public service, Harb didn't always follow the flow.
During his many years on Parliament Hill, Harb earned a reputation as a solid advocate for causes, which were often not in line with his own party.
In 2009, for example, he failed to find a single colleague who would second his proposed bill to ban the annual Atlantic Canada seal hunt. In 2003, he told reporters he wanted to personally travel to Saudi Arabia and investigate William Sampson — a Canadian who was tortured by Saudi authorities — because he was suspicious of Sampson's claims of wrongful imprisonment.
He also waged a very vocal campaign against Sunday shopping, vowing never to make a purchase on the Sabbath.
If you've been shopping on the weekend recently, you'll know how well that went.
Harb, right from the very start of his political career, always seems a bit at odds with the party establishment.
He believed he had to fight much of the party when seeking the Liberal nomination for Ottawa Centre against the favoured Maude Barlow.
Barlow won favour toiling for then Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau as the Senior Advisor on Women's Issues to then Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau; in this capacity, she advised the Prime Minister directly on all aspects of national equality initiatives for women.
At the time, I was a reporter for the Sunday Herald, the weekly newspaper the Sun bought, and knew him as an alderman on Jim Durrell's city council.
Harb and I would meet at the Gallery Café at the corner of Bank and Catherine, and he'd feed me background stories on his battles with the party.
It was really my first foray into such a journalist-politician relationship.
Harb fought Barlow, the Liberal establishment, and won.
Over the years, our paths crossed often. I was covering the local end of the Liberal nominations, he was working the ridings for Jean Chretien.
It always seemed a bit odd, such a party loyalist, such an ardent Liberal who extolled the virtues of his new country, appeared to be such an outsider.
Much of that changed when he absolutely threw himself into drumming up delegates for Jean Chretien in Eastern Ontario.
Harb never tired of boasting he delivered Eastern Ontario to Chretien in the party's 1990 leadership race.
In return, Herb eventually got the Senate seat he coveted, and was quickly coined the "$4.1-million man" by the NDP in recognition of the $114,000 annual income he would receive until retirement.
Harb was a Lebanese immigrant who obtained an engineering degree before becoming an Ottawa alderman and then an MP in 1988.
His entry into the Senate wasn't an easy one either.
Rumours were rampant Harb was about to be named to the Senate, then nothing.
Herb wasn't getting the golden ticket.
He admitted his efforts to get into the Senate were being sabotaged.
The ticket finally came.
"My love for Canada is larger than my love for life," Harb said in a statement at the time. "Canada has given me all that I have and all that I need."
Interesting turn of phrase given the circumstances.

Betsy DeVos busted for her racist policies — by her own department
A new report from Betsy Devos' own Department of Education exposes destructive racism in American schools.
Education Secretary Betsy DeVos openly supports policy decisions that treat disciplinary bias against black students as if it were a myth. She's even gone so far as to say protections for minority students have made schools more violent.
But a recently released report proves the racial bias is extremely real, in the midst of DeVos' attempted whitewashing. Perhaps ironically, the department DeVos heads is the source of the report.
Looking at data from the 2015-2016 school year, the Department of Education found that while black students are 15 percent of the total population in American public schools, they make up 31 percent of the students who are arrested or referred to law enforcement.
By comparison, white students are 49 percent of the student population and are 36 percent of those arrested or referred to authorities.
The report also found disciplinary actions were more likely to take aim at black students.
The data comes out as DeVos has been pushing to rescind guidance from the Obama administration that sought to prevent black students from being punished more severely than their white counterparts. DeVos' team has even taken to using the tragic shooting at Stoneman Douglas High as cover, going so far as to blame the Obama-era protections for making schools less safe.
Todd A. Cox, director of policy for the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, told The Hill the Trump team was "using that horrible tragedy to attack the guidance."
In a hearing last month, Devos' indifference to racism in schools was slammed by Rep. Barbara Lee (D-CA), who had asked DeVos in June 2017 to address how school segregation might adversely affect minority students.
But instead of answering the congresswoman, DeVos' office went silent. In the hearing, DeVos appeared to suggest she would answer when Democrats in Congress rubber-stamped more of Trump's nominees.
Lee responded to DeVos' attempt at evading responsibility, saying, "Madame Secretary, you just don't care much civil rights of black and brown children."
DeVos has already succeeded in rolling back rules put in place by the Obama administration that enshrined protections for victims of sexual assault. Going after racial protections now is in line with the Trump team's disregard for racial and gender equality.
The initiative to roll back the Obama rule proves Lee's accusation is accurate, and the evidence shows that harm is being done, and DeVos does not care at all.

The political beliefs of the applicants or the political relations of any state with the United States shall not be taken into account in making or not making any grant, except that the foundation will comply with any requirements imposed by law.
Grantees are expected to meet the foundation's reporting requirements within one year of the previous proposal application. Returning applicants should submit an interim report with all copies of the proposal for renewal. A report outline will be sent with the initial grant letter. Reporting requirements are designed to maintain a reasonable balance between obtaining sufficient information for the foundation to assess expenditures, accomplishments and difficulties and avoiding burdensome work for grantees.

Sportradar AG, the Swiss sports data provider which covers over 400,000 sporting events worldwide, has just been announced as the data management company for MGM GVC Interactive LLC for their sports betting investments.
MGM GVC Interactive LLC is a partnership between MGM Resorts International and the British group GVC Holdings.
The partnership between MGM and GVC only came into effect in July, following the Supreme Court ruling in May which legalized, regulated and made provisions for the taxation of sports betting in the US, allowing the two companies to make their mark on NJ sportsbooks. The announcement of the partnership between these two international investment houses sent GVC stocks skyrocketing in anticipation of good returns from a new and emerging market.
Fast and accurate data is a prerequisite for mobile betting and live in-game betting specifically. The agreement between Sportradar and MGM GVC covers live-betting services, pre-match services and other data services, which will surely impact MGM sportsbooks.
Securing a partner like Sportradar, who is already in partnership with the NHL, NBA, NFL, FIFA, UEFA and Nascar, is an impressive feat and ensures MGM sportsbooks an optimal partnership in what will develop into a highly competitive market.
It's also interesting to note that Sportradar is currently the only data management company to the NBA and NHL, and both leagues are also sports betting partners of MGM.
There have been a number of such business partnerships announced in recent months ,with sportsbooks going live across the states at a rapid pace, not just NJ sportsbooks, so we are sure to see more of these international partnerships in the months ahead.

MIREBALAIS, Haiti (AP)–Former president Bill Clinton said Wednesday that a U.N. peacekeeper was responsible for bringing the cholera strain to Haiti but may not have known that he was doing so. Cholera has killed more than 7,000 people and sickened more than 526,000 others since it was introduced to Haiti in 2010. The disease hadn't been seen in Caribbean country before that.
But Clinton added that what "really caused" the cholera outbreak was the country's lack of proper sanitation. "Unless we know that he knew or that they knew, the people that sent him, that he was carrying that virus and therefore that he could cause the amount of death and misery and sickness, I think it's better to focus on fixing it," Clinton said.
Studies have showed that U.N. peacekeepers from Nepal likely introduced the disease to Haiti when it surfaced for the first time, months after the January 2010 earthquake. An international panel appointed by the United Nations blamed the outbreak on bad sanitation.
The cholera outbreak prompted a Haitian law firm and its international partner to file a complaint against the United Nations last year, which is under review by the world body's legal office.
A spokeswoman from the U.N. peacekeeping mission said she couldn't comment because she did not hear Clinton' s statement.
Associated Press– Former U.S. President Bill Clinton said Wednesday that a U.N. peacekeeper was responsible for bringing cholera to Haiti but may not have known that he was doing so, and efforts need to focus on stemming the outbreak.
But Clinton added that what "really caused" the cholera outbreak was the country's lack of proper sanitation.
"Unless we know that he knew or that they knew, the people that sent him, that he was carrying that virus and therefore that he could cause the amount of death and misery and sickness, I think it's better to focus on fixing it," Clinton said.
Clinton, the U.N. Special Envoy to Haiti, made the remarks after he toured a brand-new public teaching hospital in the Central Plateau that was built by the Boston-based Partners in Health. PIH Co-founder Paul Farmer, a public health expert who serves as Clinton's deputy at the U.N., hosted Clinton as the two toured the hospital, a fish farm and a smaller hospital to study ways solar energy can power remote facilities.
An international panel appointed by the United Nations produced a report that blamed the outbreak on a "confluence of circumstances" that included bad sanitation.
The cholera outbreak prompted a Haitian law firm and its international partner to file a complaint against the United Nations last year on behalf of the victims, which is under review by the world body's legal office.

IBM Pushes Quantum for Business
Other major system providers pursuing quantum computing initiatives, but none are pursuing it as methodically or persistently as IBM. In a recent announcement: IBM's Institute for Business Value introduced a five-step roadmap to bring quantum computing to your organization.

Start by familiarizing yourself with superposition and entanglement, which enable quantum computers to solve problems intractable for today's conventional computers:
Superposition. A conventional computer uses binary bits that can only depict either 1 or 0. Instead, quantum computers use qubits that can depict a 1 or 0, or any combination by superposition of the qubits' possible states. This supplies quantum computers with an exponential set of states they can explore to solve certain types of problems better than conventional computers.
Entanglement. In the quantum world, two qubits located even light-years apart can still act in ways that are strongly correlated. Quantum computing takes advantage of this entanglement to encode problems that exploit this correlation between qubits.
The quantum properties of superposition and entanglement enable quantum computers to rapidly explore an enormous set of possibilities to identify an optimal answer that could maximize business value. As future quantum computers can calculate certain answers exponentially faster than today's conventional machines, they will enable tackling business problems that are exponentially more complex.
Despite conventional computers' limitations, quantum computers are not expected to replace them in the foreseeable future. Instead, hybrid quantum-conventional architectures are expected to emerge that, in effect, outsource portions of difficult problems to a quantum computer.
Already Quantum computing appears ripe to transform certain industries. For instance, current computational chemistry methods rely heavily on approximation because the exact equations cannot be solved by conventional computers. Similarly, quantum algorithms are expected to deliver accurate simulations of molecules over longer timescales, currently impossible to model precisely. This could enable life-saving drug discoveries and significantly shorten the number of years required to develop complex pharmaceuticals.
Additionally, quantum computing's anticipated ability to solve today's impossibly complex logistics problems could produce considerable cost savings and carbon footprint reduction. For example, consider improving the global routes of the trillion-dollar shipping industry (see Dancing Dinosaur's recent piece on blockchain gaining traction). If quantum computing could improve container utilization and shipping volumes by even a small fraction, this could save shippers hundreds of millions of dollars. To profit from quantum computing's advantages ahead of competitors, notes IBM, some businesses are developing expertise now to explore which use cases may benefit their own industries as soon as the technology matures.
To stimulate this type of thinking, IBM's Institute of Business Value has come up with 5 steps to get you started:
Identify your quantum champions. Assign this staff to learn more about the prospective benefits of quantum computing. Just designate some of your leading professionals as quantum champions and charge them with understanding quantum computing, its potential impact on your industry, your competitors' response, and how your business might benefit. Have these champions report periodically to senior management to educate the organization and align progress to strategic objectives.
Begin identifying quantum computing use cases and associated value propositions. Have your champions identify specific areas where quantum computing could propel your organization ahead of competitors. Have these champions monitor progress in quantum application development to track which use cases may be commercialized sooner. Finally, ensure your quantum exploration links to business results. Then select the most promising quantum computing applications, such as creating breakthrough products and services or new ways to optimize the supply chain.
Experiment with real quantum systems. Demystify quantum computing by trying out a real quantum computer (IBM's Q Experience). Have your champions get a sense for how quantum computing may solve your business problems and interface with your existing tools. A quantum solution may not be a fit for every business issue. Your champions will need to focus on solutions to address your highest priority use cases, ones that conventional computers can't practically solve.
Chart your quantum course. This entails constructing a quantum computing roadmap with viable next steps for the purpose of pursuing problems that could create formidable competitive barriers or enable sustainable business advantage. To accelerate your organization's quantum readiness, consider joining an emerging quantum community. This can help you gain better access to technical infrastructure, evolving industry applications, and expertise that can enhance your development of specific quantum applications.
Lastly, be flexible about your quantum future. Quantum computing is rapidly evolving. Seek out technologies and development toolkits that are becoming the industry standard, those around which ecosystems are coalescing. Realize that new breakthroughs may cause you to adjust your approach to your quantum development process, including changing your ecosystem partners. Similarly, your own quantum computing needs may evolve over time, particularly as you improve your understanding of which business issues can benefit most from quantum solutions.
Finally, actually have people in your organization try a quantum computer, such as through IBM's Q program and Qiskit, a free development tool. Q provides a free 16-qubit quantum computer you don't have to configure or keep cool and stable. That's IBM's headache.

The Rush to Quantum Computing
Are you excited about quantum computing? Are you taking steps to get ready for it? Do you have an idea of what you would like to do with quantum computing or a plan for how to do it? Except for the most science-driven organizations or those with incomprehensively complex challenges to solve DancingDinosaur can't imagine this is the most pressing IT issue you are facing today.
Yet leading IT-based vendors are making astounding gains in moving quantum computing forward further and faster than the industry was even projecting a few months ago. This past Nov. IBM announced a 50 qubit system. Earlier this month Google announced Bristlecone, which claims to top that. With Bristlecone Google trumps IBM for now with 72 qubits. However, that may not be the most important metric to focus on.
Never heard of quantum supremacy? You are going to hear a lot about it in the coming weeks, months, and even years as the vendors battle for the quantum supremacy title. Here is how Wikipedia defines it: Quantum supremacy is the potential ability of quantum computing devices to solve problems that classical computers cannot. In computational complexity-theoretic terms, this generally means providing a super-polynomial speedup over the best known or possible classical algorithm. If this doesn't send you racing to dig out your old college math book you were a better student than DancingDinosaur. In short, supremacy means beating the current best conventional algorithms. But you can't just beat them; you have to do it using less energy or faster or some way that will demonstrate your approach's advantage.
The issue resolves around the instability of qubits; the hardware needs to be sturdy to run them. Industry sources note that quantum computers need to keep their processors extremely cold (Kelvin levels of cold) and protect them from external shocks. Even accidental sounds can cause the computer to make mistakes. To operate in even remotely real-world settings, quantum processors also need to have an error rate of less than 0.5 percent for every two qubits. Google's best came in at 0.6 percent using its much smaller 9-qubit hardware. Its latest blog post didn't state Bristlecone's error rate, but Google promised to improve on its previous results. To drop the error rate for any qubit processor, engineers must figure out how software, control electronics, and the processor itself can work alongside one another without causing errors.
50 cubits currently is considered the minimum number for serious business work. IBM's November announcement, however, was quick to point out that "does not mean quantum computing is ready for common use." The system IBM developed remains extremely finicky and challenging to use, as are those being built by others. In its 50-qubit system, the quantum state is preserved for 90 microseconds—record length for the industry but still an extremely short period of time.
Nonetheless, 50 qubits have emerged as the minimum number for a (relatively) stable system to perform practical quantum computing. According to IBM, a 50-qubit machine can do things that are extremely difficult to simulate without quantum technology.
The problem touches on one of the attributes of quantum systems. As IBM explains, where normal computers store information as either a 1 or a 0, quantum computers exploit two phenomena—entanglement and superposition—to process information differently. Conventional computers store numbers as sequences of 0 and 1 in memory and process the numbers using only the simplest mathematical operations, add and subtract.
Quantum computers can digest 0 and 1 too but have a broader array of tricks. That's where entanglement and superposition come in. For example, contradictory things can exist concurrently. Quantum geeks often cite a riddle dubbed Schrödinger's cat. In this riddle the cat can be alive and dead at the same time because quantum systems can handle multiple, contradictory states. That can be very helpful if you are trying to solve huge data- and compute-intensive problems like a Monte Carlo simulation. After working at quantum computing for decades the new 50-cubit system finally brings something IBM can offer to businesses which face complex challenges that can benefit from quantum's superposition capabilities.
Still, don't bet on using quantum computing to solve serious business challenges very soon. An entire ecosystem of programmers, vendors, programming models, methodologies, useful tools, and a host of other things have to fall into place first. IBM and Google and others are making stunningly rapid progress. Maybe DancingDinosaur will actually be alive to see quantum computing as just another tool in a business's problem-solving toolkit.

Q: C struct program crash Hi i m trying to learn data structures in C.I write a program but it crash when i run it
 #include <stdio.h>
 #include <stdlib.h>
 typedef struct{
         int x;
         int y;

        }structure;
typedef struct{
        structure test1;
        }test;

void function(test *trying){
      trying->test1.x = 5;

     printf("%d\n", trying->test1.x);

     }

int main(){
   test *mystruct;
   function(mystruct);
   system("pause");
   return 0;
}

Thank you!

A: test *mystruct;
function(mystruct);

mystruct pointer is not initialized and has an indeterminate value.
This statement invokes undefined behavior because of the absence of initialization:
trying->test1.x = 5;

Do that instead:
test mystruct;
function(&mystruct);

A: When you write test *mystruct;, mystruct contains garbage value. If this value lies outside the address space for your program, you'll get the error. Why crash? Because it tries to overwrite protected areas of memory like the OS. So either you allocate memory for mystruct and use it (You'll have to free the memory in this case). Or plain declare as normal variable and pass the address to the function.
test mystruct;
function(&mystruct);

A: You can use the second half of this answer but as other commenters have noted, it's much better to simply pass the address of mystruct to the function.
test mystruct;     // = (test *) malloc(sizeof(test));
function(&mystruct);

This means it's allocated on the stack, which is different than the heap, and you don't have to free the memory after you use it because it's done for you.

You can to allocate memory on the heap for test if you're going to declare it as a pointer.
Change your first line in main to:
test *mystruct = malloc(sizeof(test));

And free the memory that was allocated after you're done using it:
free(mystruct);

A: In function main, variable mystruct is not initialized to point to a valid memory address. Therefore, it is most likely pointing to an invalid memory address, and when used in function function, it eventually yields a memory access violation.
Fix suggestion #1:
test mystruct;
function(&mystruct);

Fix suggestion #2:
test* mystruct = malloc(sizeof(test));
function(mystruct);
free(mystruct);

A: if you don't want to use dynamic memory then try this:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>

typedef struct{
     int x;
     int y;
}structure;
typedef struct{
    structure test1;
}test;

void function(test *trying){
    trying->test1.x = 5;
    printf("%d\n", trying->test1.x);
}

int main(){
   test mystruct;
   memset(&mystruct, 0, sizeof(mystruct));
   function(&mystruct);
   system("pause");
   return 0;
}

This creates a stack based variable and initializes its contents using the memset() function.  You have an odd intermediate typedef and member that you might eliminate entirely. e.g.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>

typedef struct my_s{
     int x;
     int y;
} my_t;

void function(my_t *t){
   if(!t) return;
   t->x = 5;
   printf("%d\n", t->x);
}

int main(){
   my_t mystruct;
   memset(&mystruct, 0, sizeof(mystruct));
   function(&mystruct);
   return 0;
}

Lastly, Im not sure what you're trying to accomplish with the system("pause") but as for the structure, the above examples will work.

A: Try these simple changes to your original code:  (builds and runs without using malloc() or calloc())
(comments in-line to explain)
#include <stdio.h>
 #include <stdlib.h>
 typedef struct{
         int x;
         int y;

        }structure;
typedef struct{
        structure test1;
        }TEST; //use CAPITALS to distinguish typedefed struct for readability

TEST test;  //use typedef to create instance of TEST

void function(TEST *trying){
      trying->test1.x = 5;

     printf("%d\n", trying->test1.x);

     }

int main(){
   TEST *mystruct; // create local instance of TEST

   mystruct = &test;//initialize mystruct pointer to point to beginning of physical struct
   function(mystruct);
   system("pause");
   return 0;
}
