For the 500 years following her death, veneration of Winifred as a saint was limited to N-E Wales, to the areas around her grave at Gwytherin, in Denbighshire, and around her well at Holywell, in Flintshire. In 1093, the Norman countess of Chester, Adeliza, gave the church of 'Haliwel' to the Benedictine monks of St Werbergh's abbey, in Chester. That Holywell already had an Anglo-Saxon name (northern Flintshire had been contested territory for centuries) might suggest that St Winifred's cult was already beginning to spread into England, a process which the Chester Benedictines might have been expected to promote, though there is no surviving evidence for this. The turning-point came in 1138, when Winifred's relics were removed from Gwytherin and enshrined in Shrewsbury. Her shrine there became a focus of popular pilgrimage, and her cult gradually spread across England, gaining strength, until in 1415 the archbishop of Canterbury upgraded her feastday on 3 November into a major solemnity. With the exception of Holywell parish church, and her grave-chapel (Capel Gwenfrewi) at Gwytherin, no medieval Welsh churches were dedicated to Winifred [1]; but by the end of the 15th century, 5 churches in England honoured her as patroness [2]. Numbers of surviving painted, carved and stained-glass images of the saint testify to this widespread devotion, as perhaps do – though much more marginally – a number of holy wells.
Of these, the most significant is that at Woolston, near Oswestry in Shropshire:
'A rare example of a well covered by a secular building, in this case a half-timbered cottage originally used as a courthouse. The present sixteenth- or seventeenth century building may have succeeded a chapel…the well itself and the pool into which it flows are seen behind the cottage. The various stone troughs through which the water flows could be dammed up to form bathing pools'. [3].
That the house replaced a medieval well-chapel is in fact far from certain; and even the patronage of St Winifred is attested only from the early 19th century:
'"Woolston's Well", dedicated, according to Hulbert's History of Salop (1838) to St Winifred. Some have sought to explain this dedication (now locally forgotten) by supposing that the relics of St. Winifred may have rested here on their way from Gwytherin in North Wales to Shrewsbury Abbey, in the twelfth century; but it is easily accounted for by the fact that certain small stones spotted with indelible red marks singularly resembling bloodstains are occasionally found in the water, which have obviously led to the former localizing here of the legend of the well which sprang up on the site of St Winifred's decapitation'. [4]
The 'local forgetfulness' mentioned by Charlotte Burne, coupled with what is evidently antiquarian speculation rather than genuine tradition, suggests that the dedication is not original. If Hulbert's reference is the earliest, it is worth noting that it was just at this time that the Holywell pilgrimage was reviving, after Catholic Emancipation.
'The water…is supposed to have wonderful powers of healing wounds and bruises and broken bones. When I visited the place in June 1885, a broken arm was in course of treatment there'. [5]
Laurens Otter in his study of Shropshire wells mentions the possibility of there being another well of St Winifred nearby.
'Only one writer – in The Shropshire Magazine – refers to the other St Winifred's Well, at Oswestry, and as Woolston is only five miles from that town, I would assume he was confusing the two were it not that his list also includes Woolston, albeit only as 'Holy Well'. [6]
No other information is available; but, as Otter observes, wells having the same dedication 'in close proximity are not all that surprising'. Drawing on the monograph of Dom Ethelbert Horne, O.S.B., [7] Jeremy Harte drew attention to a St Winifred's Well which formerly existed in Somerset.
'St Winefred's Well, Sion Hill, Lansdown [Swainswick]. In certain title deeds relating to the property on which St Winefred House now stands, a "well called St Winefred's Well" is described. Horne goes on to say it "has been covered in and its exact position is doubtful. The water is said to be of a hard brackish nature", and he quotes Peach's Historic Houses in Bath that from 1730 to 1780 'women with superstitious hopes of maternity' took the waters of this well'. [8]
Harte also noticed a further well in southern England, at Sherborne, in Dorset.
'At the northern edge of the town, beside a pub called the Traveller's Rest, is St Winifred's Well. The name may be modern as it has not been tracked down in any medieval documents'. [9]
A St Winifred's Well in Oxford has been the source of much confusion. It stood somewhere in the vicinity of the church of Holywell, a Norman foundation dedicated to the Holy Cross.
'At the distance of about thirty yards, on the north side of the church, considerable remains of the manor house rebuilt in 1516 are still standing…Between this house and the church is [a] well, from which the parish is supposed to have taken its name. It was dedicated to St Winifred and St Margaret, and very much frequented for the reputed holiness of the water. Wood says, "I find many persons yearly relieved by these wholesome waters to this day". At present they have entirely lost their former celebrity, and are deserted for more fashionable springs. The water is remarkably pure, intensely cold, but seldom freezes: there is still a cold bath, but it has few visitors. About the year 1488 Dr. Fitzjames, warden of Merton, erected a stone building over it, "to receive the prayers of people". The present building is in good repair'. [10]
Ingram goes on to note that 'some persons are of opinion that the holy well was not situated as here described by Wood, but in Jackson's or Holywell green, about a hundred yards due east of the church, where there is a well, called Jenny Newton's well, still in repute for "curing the eyes"', but defends his own attribution on the grounds of Wood's 'explicit' statement. [11] James Rattue, in his inventory of Oxfordshire wells, gathers the references to these wells, and adds further possible claimants to being the true St Winifred's Well, but without being able to decide between them; and even records a reference to another Oxfordshire St Winifred's Well, 'said in 1887 to have been E. of St Bartholomew's Well, Cowley'. [12]
Jim Taylor Page found a single reference to a holy well of St Winifred in Cumbria. [13] This relates to a well in Brough, but its dedication is problematic.
'Opposite to the cross, in the said further Brough, on the right hand as one goes towards Stanemore, behind a house, was a well covered over with a milestone, at the eye of which they took up the water, which was called St Mary's (or St. Winifred's) well. Perhaps it got the name of St Mary after founding of the chapel. [Elsewhere the authors make reference to persons "solemly certifying miracles to have been performed in the said chapel".] Many came hither on pilgrimage in the times of popery, and the vicar of Burgh had a diploma from the pope…to receive the oblations of all pilgrims there.' [14]
The well itself has been lost, and no memory of it survives.
'Brough itself is divided into Church and Market Brough and I believe the cross mentioned by Nicolson and Burn is the ancient cross in Market Brough, about half way up the main street. There's now no sign of a well and it's likely that it's either under the road or under one of the houses: though the old cross still exists it may have been moved as the road was improved'. [15]
Most surprising of all, perhaps, is the discovery that there is a well called St Winifred's in Dublin. This well has been restored recently.
'The enclosed is what appears on the wall plaque in Eustace Street, Dublin – the wall belonging to a pub!' [16]
"St Winifred's Well
…St Winifred's Well was a medieval well known to have been in Eustace Street, perhaps further up towards Dame Street. St Winifred…was revered in North Wales in the middle ages and like St Bridget in Ireland, her name was associated with wells and springs. It is not clear how a well in medieval Dublin came to bear her name. It is known that Dublin had trading contacts with North Wales from the 11th century onwards and settlers from there probably came to live in Dublin after the Anglo-Normans captured the city in 1170. One of these may have given the well its name…
The present well has been covered over by the Street at some point in the past. It has been restored to expose the ground water resource that flows all the time below the foundations of the city…
Joint project involving Dublin Corporation & Temple Bar Properties Ltd."'
The first sentence of this excerpt suggests that the restored well is not in fact the original well named for the saint; and as the plaque also notes that 'Eustace Street was laid between 1680 and 1720', one wonders whether the 'medieval' associations are demonstrable or simply assumed. If the latter, then it must be observed that a medieval origin for the 'St Winifred' dedications – as opposed to the actual wells themselves – can be demonstrated for none of the above holy wells. Two of them have their dedications reported in ways which confirm that the dedications to Winifred are not the original ones: the Oxford and Brough wells were almost certainly anciently dedicated to St Margaret (whose cult was widespread in England long before Winifred's was established there) and our Lady respectively. (In the case of the Brough well, this is confirmed by the report of miracles and pilgrimages at the nearby chapel of St Mary.) This, and the post-Reformation dates available, suggest that all these wells and their (re)dedications are part of the fully-developed cultus of St Winifred, as this manifested itself in British Counter- Reformation Catholicism. Though Winifred was the object of an important late-medieval cult, and though Holywell was an important medieval pilgrimage centre, Winifred was only one among many popular indigenous saints, and Holywell only one of many popular shrines. After the Reformation, this position altered radically. Holywell was the only such shrine to remain relatively intact, and from the late Tudor period onwards, it became the only place where Catholicism could be practised more or less openly. Its importance for Catholics during the whole period when Catholicism was a scribed religion cannot be overestimated, and by the time of Catholic Emancipation in 1829, it had assumed the status of being the paramount British shrine, with Winifred as a sort of pan-British patroness – a status frequently read back into the medieval period, somewhat distorting modern understanding of Holywell's history, and of the cult of St Winifred itself. In the absence of any evidence of medieval origins, it might be suggested that these other wells of St Winifred are a reflection of this situation, with persecuted Catholics trying to 'recreate' in some way the Holywell shrine in their own locality (a process documented for other shrines in Ireland during 'Penal Times' [17], either by associating Winifred with extant minor sacred sites still accessible to Catholics (Brough, Oxford, perhaps Woolston), or by dedicating ordinary wells in her honour (Lansdown, Dublin). These severely restricted, late-established (i.e., at a time when the well-cult generally was disintegrating in Britain), and short-lived cults could have made little impression on local folk-memory; while even the name, newly-imposed and used regularly by comparatively few people, could have become established as at best an alternative to an older name. If this hypothesis be accepted, then these wells assume quite unexpected importance, as possibly the last British wells either to acquire a sacred character, or to redefine a pre-existent sacrality. And if this is the case, then the actual process of imparting or redefining this sacred character should be studied if at all possible, for the clues it might yield as to the possible ways by which numbers of holy wells in the medieval period, whose origins are known only through their legends, first acquired their sacred status.

The four engine aircraft departed Idlewild Airport at 1157LT with a crew of six and climbed along the shore of Long Island on a training mission. 23 minutes later, the airplane christened 'Flagship Oklahoma' banked left, entered a dive and eventually crashed into the ocean five miles off shore. Few debris were found off Montauk Point and all six crew members have been killed.
The exact cause of the accident could not be determined with certainty. However, it is believed that the loss of control occurred while the crew was preparing to shut down an engine to simulate a failure or was initiating a particular flying configuration requiring the deployment of the flaps at an angle of 30 ° which was the case when the aircraft struck the water surface. The assumption that two of the four engines were inoperative at the time of impact is not ruled out.

Q: Check if the variable has any whitespace in the first 10 characters What is the best way to check if the string has any spaces in the first 10 characters?
$value = "cdjfvdkvnfkjvnfjnbjfnjn";

A: Use strpos():
if (strpos(substr($string, 0, 1), ' ') !== FALSE) {
    // has whitespace
}

Or preg_match():
if(preg_match('/\s/', substr($string, 0, 10))) {
    // has whitespace
}

The advantage of preg_match() over strpos() is that it can detect any kind of whitespace not just space characters. \s is a shorthand representation for the character class [\r\n\t\f ].

A: You may use ctype_space():
if (ctype_space($value)) {

}

Canada: New Westminster bans sale of shark fins
H.Nickel, Shark Year Magazine,
The New Westminster city council gave final adoption to the Shark Fin Regulation Bylaw No. 7564,2012.
This bylaw, which was approved by an unanimous vote last Monday (Dec. 10th), prohibits the sale, trade and distribution of shark fins within the city. Any violators will be given a fine of up to $10,000.
New Westminster is located at the centre of Metro Vancouver on the banks of the Fraser River in British Columbia.
It is just a very small community with about 27,000 households and a population of less than 60,000.
A short time ago, a similar ban was struck down in Toronto (see here), which is the capital of Ontario province and the largest city in Canada with a population of over 2.5 million people.

Heinrich Ernemann (* 28. Mai 1850 in Gernrode (Eichsfeld); † 16. Mai 1928 in Kurort Hartha; vollständiger Name: Johann Heinrich Ernemann) war ein deutscher Unternehmer und Erfinder in der Foto- und Kinogeräteindustrie sowie Gründer der Ernemann-Werke AG.

Leben
Heinrich Ernemann kam 1876 nach Dresden, um dort ein Kurzwarengeschäft zu übernehmen. Dieses wurde 1889 wieder veräußert und Ernemann kaufte sich in die Kameratischlerei von Wilhelm Franz Matthias in der Pirnaer Straße ein. Er etablierte sich in der noch jungen Fotoindustrie und vergrößerte in vorausschauender Weise das Unternehmen zu einem der bedeutendsten Foto- und kinotechnischen Betriebe des Deutschen Reichs.

Sein Sohn Alexander (1878–1956) trat 1904 in das Unternehmen ein. 1910 erhielt Ernemann das Ritterkreuz 1. Klasse des Albrechtsordens. Sein Ansehen und Einfluss wuchsen weiter, sodass er 1913 zum Königlich Sächsischen Kommerzienrat ernannt wurde. Ernemann setzte sich intensiv für die Schaffung eines Lehrstuhls für Photographie an der Technischen Hochschule Dresden ein. Später wurden er und Sohn Alexander Gründungsmitglieder der Gesellschaft der Förderer und Freunde der TH Dresden e.V. Die Verleihung der Ehrendoktorwürde (Dr.-Ing. E. h.) der Technischen Hochschule Dresden am 24. Juli 1924 war die Würdigung seines Lebenswerkes.

1926 fusionierten die Ernemann-Werke mit Carl Zeiss, der Optischen Anstalt C. P. Goerz, der Internationalen Camera Actiengesellschaft (ICA) und der Contessa-Nettel zur Zeiss-Ikon AG. Die Geschichte des Dresdner Familienunternehmens ging damit nach 37 Jahren zu Ende. Heinrich Ernemann gehörte dem Aufsichtsrat des neuen Unternehmens an.

Ernemann verstarb 1928 in seiner 1900 errichteten Sommervilla Heinrichs Eck (heute: Am Hartheberg 21) im Kurort Hartha. Sein Grab befindet sich auf dem Johannisfriedhof in Dresden-Tolkewitz.

Die 1891 von der Familie Ernemann auf der Justinenstraße 8 in Dresden-Blasewitz bezogene Villa fiel am 13. Februar 1945 dem Luftangriff zum Opfer und wurde in der Nachkriegszeit abgerissen. An ihrer Stelle befindet sich heute ein Wohnblock. Ernemanns Tochter ist die Mutter von Hans Heyne, AEG-Vorstandsvorsitzender von 1962 bis 1964.

Al Roker's Wife and His 'Today' Show Family Show Support After His Prostate Cancer Diagnosis
By Rachel McRady 8:45 AM PST, November 6, 2020
Al Roker is feeling the love after revealing on Friday's Today show that he has been diagnosed with prostate cancer. The 66-year-old co-host and weatherman shared the news that he is taking some time off from the morning show to prepare for a surgery related to his diagnosis.
"Anybody who's on the staff, who's ever been through anything, one of your first calls you ever get is from this guy right here. So we're all here for you too," Hoda Kotb told Roker during the live broadcast.
The morning show staple was quickly met with lots of love from his co-hosts and his wife, Deborah Roberts.
"As many of you now know my hubby is battling prostate cancer," Roberts tweeted shortly after Roker announced the news. "We are prayerful and hopeful he will be fine. Thanks for all the kind words, prayers and positivity."
Roker replied to his wife on Twitter, writing, "Thanks, sweetheart. Love you."

On Instagram, Kotb posted a photo of Roker holding her 3-year-old daughter, Haley, when she was just a baby. "Our Al. You never miss a milestone.. you've been there for all of our moments... good or painful.. Haley's arrival... my breast cancer diagnosis.... know this @alroker we will be here for you too.... you've got this ❤," she wrote.

Dylan Dreyer also took to Instagram, sharing a shot of Roker holding her 3-year-old son, Calvin, as a newborn baby.
"Al is the first person to visit, the first person to send a hand written note, the first person to call and reach out during good and bad times," she wrote. "His positivity is genuine and infectious. Please keep this wonderful man in your prayers as he undergoes treatment for prostate cancer. And use his diagnosis as a reminder for the men in your lives to get checked! You got this buddy!!!"

Willie Geist tweeted, "@AlRoker is the heart and soul of our @NBCNews family. He has been a role model to me -- and to all of us -- as a professional, and as a parent and husband. We love you, Al. We're with you through this fight."

GM Chris Antonetti announced three promotions in the Indians front office Friday.
CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The Indians have promoted three executives in their baseball operations department.
Ross Atkins has been promoted to vice president of player personnel, Carter Hawkins to director of player development and Paul Gillispie to director of pro scouting.
Atkins spent the last eight years in charge of player development. This will be his 15th year with the Indians. He was a minor league pitcher for the Indians for five years.
"We feel this will free Ross up to get more involved with other aspects of our organization," said GM Chris Antonetti.
Carter was Atkins' assistant for the last four years. This will be his eighth year with the team.
"We feel Carter is ready to manage and thrive in the day-to-day leadership of player develolpment," said Antonetti.
Atkins will oversee player development, the Indians special assistants and Latin American operations, while taking on other duties as well.
Gillispie spent the last six years as assistant scouting director. He moves into Steve Lubratich's old job. Lubratich, who has been with the Indians for 13 years, will be a special assistant to GM Chris Antonetti.
Over the last six years Gillispie worked as Brad Grant's assistant director of scouting for the amateur draft. Now Gillispie will run the pro scouting department, while doing some scouting.


The content being created and shared on Google+ is quite good. So much so that many posts that have originated here have been featured as leading articles on Techmeme, the much-watched technology news curator led by +Gabe Rivera. While Gabe and team have had Twitter activity play a role in the site as well, no other social network (Facebook, FriendFeed, Google Buzz, etc.) has previously gotten this level of visibility.
Google Plussers +Paul Allen and +Danny Sullivan have seen their content shared on Techmeme frequently enough that both are listed on the Techmeme leaderboard, which tracks the most frequently carried sources on the site over the last 30 days.
I would not be surprised to see +Vic Gundotra and +Bradley Horowitz be listed at other times on this list in the future.

Linc Housing Partners with SIPA to Build a Modern Mixed-Use Development with 63 New Supportive, Affordable Apartments in Historic Filipinotown
New HiFi Collective to House SIPA's Headquarters, Community Cultural Center and John Eric Swing Small Business Center
LOS ANGELES – Aug. 27, 2020 – Linc Housing has partnered with Search to Involve Pilipino Americans (SIPA) to build HiFi Collective, a new five-story building that will feature 63 supportive housing units and one manager's unit as well as SIPA's offices, programming space, community cultural center, and the John Eric Swing Small Business Center. SIPA headquarters will occupy the entire first floor while upper levels will house private affordable housing apartments. The new studio apartment homes are for qualified families and individuals who have experienced homelessness.
"This permanent supportive housing project hits the mark on many levels: we're providing 63 units of housing for the formerly homeless in the area; we are collaborating with a Filipino service organization with a long-standing commitment in the community; and we're honoring John Eric Swing, whose positive contributions to Historic Filipinotown have left an indelible mark in the neighborhood," said Los Angeles City Councilmember Mitch O'Farrell. "I want to thank Linc Housing and Search to Involve Pilipino Americans for the collaboration with my office to bring this much needed amenity to residents in the 13th District."
The site for HiFi Collective, 3200 West Temple Street in Los Angeles, is located at the western gateway to Historic Filipinotown (HiFi). In addition to creating much needed affordable housing in the district, the project is envisioned as a cultural landmark for the developing HiFi district. HiFi Collective will transform SIPA's current office building into a dynamic, mixed-use structure with the 6,100-square-foot ground floor anchored by SIPA's new national headquarter offices.
In addition to SIPA offices, the new space will allow SIPA to expand its community programming. The ground floor will include a 2,700-sq-ft. multi-purpose space and professional grade kitchen, as well as the new John Eric Swing Small Business Center, featuring resources and incubator spaces for entrepreneurs and small business owners interested in working in HiFi or with the Fil-Am community. SIPA recently announced the John Eric Swing Small Business Center in honor of SIPA's executive director and beloved community leader who died of COVID-19 in June.
"This vital redevelopment at SIPA has been several years in the making and marks the beginning of a turning point for Historic Filipinotown," said Jennifer Taylor, head of real estate, SIPA board of directors. "We are grateful to all who have made this progress possible, including our partners at Linc, Mayor Garcetti, Councilman O'Farrell, our Historic Filipinotown neighborhood, and the greater Filipino American community. Thank you for your continuing support of SIPA as we move forward in our goal to change lives for the better."
The new community will have 63 studio apartment homes and one two-bedroom manager's unit. The building's residents will have private access to several amenities, including a community room, computer lab, community kitchen, indoor bike parking, laundry, outdoor deck, and offices for supportive services. The location is convenient to public transportation, shopping, and other services.
With funding support from Los Angeles County, residents will receive intensive case management to help ensure they thrive. Supportive services will include mental health and physical health services, employment counseling and job placement, education, substance abuse counseling, money management, assistance in obtaining and maintaining benefits, and referrals to community-based services and resources.
"We do our best work when we understand the community and the needs of the neighborhood, and our partnership with SIPA marries their deep community knowledge with Linc's expertise in affordable housing development, " said Rebecca Clark, president and CEO, Linc Housing. "SIPA's mission aligns with Linc's. We're both committed to improving neighborhoods and empowering people to make positive contributions to the community. We're excited to know that SIPA will be bringing the cultural community center to life for everyone in the neighborhood."
Funding for the development comes from a variety of sources including construction and permanent loans from Bank of America, $12.7 million in HHH Funds managed by the Housing + Community Investment Department of the City of Los Angeles (HCIDLA), $6.8 million from the Los Angeles County Development Authority (No Place Like Home funds), and tax credit equity from Raymond James. The project will receive rental subsidy from the Housing Authority of the City of Los Angeles. The California Endowment provided predevelopment support. The Los Angeles County Department of Health Services will provide funding for supportive services.
HiFi Collective was designed by D33 Design & Planning, with cultural design by Synthesis Design + Architecture (SDA). It will be built by Walton Construction Inc. Construction of affordable housing has been designated an essential activity during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the construction team will follow recommended safety protocols to keep the job site safe. The development is due to be completed in early 2022. All supportive, affordable apartments will be filled through referrals from the County of Los Angeles Coordinated Entry System (CES).

I'm in a Cornbread State of Mind: The South Pittsburg, TN Cornbread Festival
Posted on May 14, 2017 May 14, 2017 by spaceagedbourbon
Every year the small town of South Pittsburg, Tennessee opens its doors to a staggering 25,000 tourists in an all-American celebration of a favorite southern food staple: cornbread. Arguably the south's cornerstone cuisine, cornbread traces its roots to Native Americans who originally made the dish with maize. The modern incarnation of cornbread takes many forms — traditional bread, fritters, hoecakes , even hushpuppies. All receive their fair share of the spotlight at the annual South Pittsburgh celebration.
South Pittsburgh also happens to be home of Lodge's cast iron manufacturing facility, the point of origin for the cast iron skillets frequently used to cook the dish. Founded in 1896 by Joseph Lodge and originally named the Blacklock Foundry, Lodge is one of the oldest cookware companies in the world. While the techniques used to make cast iron have evolved over the years to incorporate automation and safer manufacturing practices, the heart of the foundry relies on the same casting and molding processes used for over a century. There's no shortage of Lodge branding and sponsorship at Cornbread Fest, ensuring that visitors leave with a renewed appreciation for the company and people who make one of the South's premier cookwares.
I first went to Cornbread festival on a whim in 2016 (below is a picture of me at the festival's signature cornbread smourgasboard buffet, Cornbread Alley). It's now one of my favorite festivals in the south. I've become somewhat of an evangelist for the event, recommending it to others as an authentic celebration of Americana, manufacturing, and (of course) delicious food.
Embracing my inner southerner at my first cornbread fest
Cornbread Fest takes place the last weekend in April. The festival typically runs from 9 AM on Saturday to Sunday evening. If you do go, you'll want to get there early. South Pittsburgh is a small town (normally home to 3000) and the massive influx of tourists means things get crowded quickly. If you arrive by 8 AM on Saturday, you can run the Cornbread Fest 5K, which winds its way through the (rather hilly) South Pittsburg historic district. 5K registration includes a t-shirt, admission to the festival, and admission to Cornbread alley, the festival's premiere cornbread sampling station. If you're not a runner, you can also walk the 5K route. Trust me, some calorie burn will be necessary to minimize the impact of a day filled with nothing but carb consumption.
A 5K calorie burn is equal to approximately three cornbread samples
After the 5K, I recommend heading straight to Cornbread Alley (sure it's 9 AM, but what's wrong with cornbread for breakfast?) Cornbread Alley ($5 admission) consists of around 10 community groups (from boy scout troops to Methodist churches) who'll spend the day cooking up their best cornbread concoctions and passing out samples to a never-ending stream of hungry passerby. After enjoying your cornbread spread (pictured below) in a nearby shed, you can head back out to the main street of the festival to shop. Cornbread Fest hosts a slew of artisan vendors from Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee, who sell everything from pottery to goat milk soap and birdhouses. As you wander the festival grounds, there's also ample opportunity for even more cornbread samples. Be sure to stop by the main festival tent to get a map (which will alert you to where the free samples are) and festival guide. There's also a postcard scavenger hunt, where you can collect stamps from stops around the festival, ultimately redeeming a completed card for a cornbread festival cookbook and entry to win a cornbread festival gift basket. The gift basket contains an assortment of flour (Martha White is an event sponsor), festival merchandise, and enough Lodge cast iron that you'll need a dolly to get it to your car. Not to be missed is the merchandise tent, where you can purchase a must-have festival t-shirt with a clever cornbread slogan and festival emblem ("Country as Cornbread" is my personal favorite, followed by "Put the South in Your Mouth"). Other off-the-beaten path attractions found outside the festival gates are the quilt show (this year's featured quilts inspired by America's National Parks) and the car show.
Cornbread Alley: More cornbread than a single plate can reasonably accommodate.

The Lodge cast iron factory also gets in to the spirit of the event by opening its doors to festival-goers. Here you can take a self-guided walking tour of the factory and indulge in a real-life episode of "How It's Made." On your tour, you'll learn that the classic skillet starts as a mix of iron, recycled cast iron, and stainless steel melted together in a 2800 hundred degree furnace. The molten metal is poured into a sand mold. Once the skillet solidifies and is removed from the mold, it's tumbled and shot blasted to remove any residual molding sand, polished, and dried. Spray guns apply a seasoning to the skillet. Although it's simply oil baked into the pores of the iron, the seasoning is Lodge's "secret sauce" — it's an additive that prevents oxidation and imparts the skillet with its highly desired nonstick properties. The level of automation in the factory is impressive – for the Cornbread Festival walkthrough, some of the robots are set into a demo mode akin to robotic ballet (see the picture below of a Kuka industrial robot waving a cast iron skillet at passerby). Next door to the factory is the Lodge cast iron factory store. The discount section, which consists of products with blemishes or defects that didn't meet the factory's stringent quality control standards, is your best bet for finding a good deal.
I for one, welcome our robot overlords if they will cook Southern food for me
The marquee festival event is the cornbread festival cookoff in which ten chefs from around the country (downselected from over 100 initial entries) compete for the title of cornbread champion in a live head to head competition. The dishes run the gamut from traditional to the exotic (last year's winning dish was Bob's Bama hoecake sliders, a mix of pimento cheese, smoked sausage, and pickles sandwiched between two cornmeal pancakes). The festival also includes a full schedule of live musical performances (mostly bluegrass and country) and a fireworks show.
The 2016 Cornbread Festival Winner: Hoecake sliders
Cornbread Festival epitomizes the intangible things I love about the south. South Pittsburg seems like a place where, to borrow from Rick Bragg, "grandmothers hold babies on their laps under the stars and whisper in their ears that the lights in the sky are holes in the floor of heaven." Perhaps it reminds me in some ways of the town I grew up in. The people are welcoming and the food is certainly something to write home about. South Pittsburg, with its Disney-esque Main Street, also plays into our collective misplaced nostalgia for an America that probably never really existed in the first place (a phenomenon discussed at length in this recent New York Times article The Myth of Main Street). Regardless, Cornbread Fest feels like such an authentic piece of Americana that it's impossible not to succumb to its southern charm. Even the most cynical of festival-goers will leave with the feeling that the key to happiness might be found in a mix of butter, cornmeal, and flour cooked up in some American-made cast iron cookware.

Brendan O'Carroll is to make Mrs Brown's Boys into a film.
The comic revealed that he had been given the money for a big-screen version of his Bafta-winning sitcom – but hasn't written it yet.
The movie would come after a third series of the BBC show, which is in the pipeline.
O'Carroll has already made a fortune from the series, as he retains the rights – and already more than one million DVDs of the first series have sold in the UK. And the team begin an arena tour in Cardiff tonight.
Co-star Rory Cowen, who plays Rory Brown, told the Irish Daily Star: 'He [O'Carroll] never relinquished any of it to the BBC. We're paid every time the show is repeated or shown anywhere in the world. We get paid a lot of money.
Meanwhile, Gary Hollywood, who plays Dino Doyle, said the weekend's Bafta win was one in the eye for critics of the show.
He said: 'The public have always been with us, but the critics have been hard on us and Brendan would have to take the bad reviews on the chin. We have come full circle, got over the rough times and we are over the moon.

Application for Full Family Violence Intervention Order Withdrawn
Published Updated January 19, 2018 · Updated Updated May 6, 2021
This is a case involving an application for full family violence intervention order resulting in the application being withdrawn.
The police made an application to vary a limited family violence intervention order against our client to a full intervention order. This means that our client would not have been allowed to have any contact or live with his wife and, as he was still in a relationship with the affected family member, he was contesting the order.
The matter was listed for a one-day contested hearing at the Frankston Magistrates' Court. Hester Kelly acted on the client's behalf on the charge of Contravene Family Violence IVO.
Prior to the contested hearing commencing, Ms Kelly negotiated with the prosecution. She discussed the matter with the police lawyer and indicated that what the police were applying for had no basis in law and the legislation prevented them from obtaining the type of order that they wanted.
The police lawyer considered Ms Kelly's position and ultimately had the application for full family violence intervention order withdrawn. This means that only a limited intervention order remains in place.
This was an excellent example where having a thorough knowledge of the law resulted in the matter being withdrawn and the client getting the best outcome.

Hester is based at our Melbourne office and was admitted to practice in 2014. She previously worked as an Associate to Judge Howard in the County Court of Victoria and was also a solicitor advocate at another Melbourne criminal law firm before becoming a member of Doogue + George.

The 5 Traits of Wildly Successful People
Posted by Biz India | Oct 12, 2013 | People
LinkedIn Columnist Alex Banayan
By Alex Banayan – Linked In
I have a crazy idea: success isn't just about hard work.
We hear about hard work all the time—it's what Olympic champions talk about when they get to the top of the podium and it's what the media credits as the sole force behind billionaire entrepreneurs. But there has to be something else in the equation of obtaining unimaginable success. What other traits tipped the odds in favor of the world's most successful people?
What helped propel their careers before they had track records?
For the past three years I've been fortunate enough to research and interview some of the world's most successful people to find the answers to these very questions. Below are just a few of the traits I've noticed that have stood out in the personalities of people who have truly made it big:
1. Chase the School Bus
Growing up, Sugar Ray Leonard would wake up, get dressed for school, and walk with his siblings to the bus stop. As the yellow bus would pull to the curb, his friends and siblings would step up into the school bus, but young Sugar Ray Leonard, who is now a six-time world champion boxer, would refuse to get on. As the bus drove away, Leonard tightened up his sneakers and ran behind the bus all the way to school.
"The other kids thought I was crazy," Leonard said, "because I would run in the rain, snow—it didn't matter. I did it because I didn't just want to be better than the next guy, I wanted to be better than all the guys."
My generation is used to instant gratification. But Sugar Ray Leonard demonstrated the necessity to be able to buckle down for the long haul and accept that you won't see any return on investment for years. You have to be able to stay passionately committed even when you can't see the light at the end of the tunnel. And remember, Sugar Ray Leonard, now one of the greatest boxers in history, was running behind that yellow school bus at a time when others thought he wasn't "boxing material."
Sugar Ray Leonard kept at it, to the point that others thought was irrational. Turns out irrational commitment leads to irrational success.
Does what you're working on excite you so much that it inspires an irrational sense of commitment? Are you willing to chase the school bus for years—before seeing any return? If so, keep running. If not, maybe it's time to think bigger.
2. Stray From the Pack
In his early twenties, Tim Ferriss, bestselling author of The 4-Hour Workweek, was running an online sports nutrition company and realized that he would be risking his businesses' survival if he followed the industry standard of accepting payment up to twelve months after the product was shipped.
"Everyone followed those rules," Ferriss revealed to me. "I realized I was inviting disaster and financial ruins if I risked my cash flow that way by following the standard protocol, so I insisted on prepayment. Nobody had ever done prepayment. I think that is one of the reasons why my sports nutrition company succeeded where a lot of other startups of that type failed."
Straying from the norm isn't easy when you've spent your whole life following rules laid out for you at school and at home. It takes a major cognitive shift to understand that the way things are, and have been, can be challenged.
Ask yourself what rules in your industry you accept as fact. Why do you follow them? If the excuse is "that's the way it's always been," it's time to consider pulling a Tim Ferriss.
3. Create Corkboards
Peter Guber, former CEO of Sony Pictures Entertainment, was in his mid-twenties as a new hire at Columbia Pictures when he realized that the way the studio heads were selecting directors was archaic—based on esoteric chatter instead of real data. Guber personally took on the task of solving this industry-old problem.
He went out and got a corkboard the size of his office wall and created a matrix: all the directors in Hollywood listed down the side and all the relevant information sprawled across the top—think of it as a primitive Wikipedia for the entertainment industry.
Word spread around town about the young guy who had this crowd-sourced wealth of data on every director in Hollywood mounted on his wall. In addition to adding value and helping others do their jobs more effectively, the corkboard allowed people to take notice of Guber's ingenuity.
"It became a tool that allowed people to recognize that I was willing to do things differently. It shined the light on me and it and gave me more currency to make more daring choices," Guber said. He explained that, "You are in the 'problem solving' business—always. That's the way it works." This was a key trait that allowed Guber to go from being a new hire at Columbia pictures to the studio chief—in just three years.
Although HR reps fail to mention it on the first day on the job, it seems that taking risks, solving other people's problems, and creating value—even in a formal corporate environment—could have huge payoffs for your career.
Are there any problems, even outside your job description, that you could solve? What opportunities can you create to add value to both help people as well as supercharge your career?
4. Get on "Qi Time"
Growing up in a village outside of Shanghai with no running water or electricity, Qi Lu (pronounced: chee loo) had no idea that one day he would have a corner office at one of the world's biggest technology companies. As the President of Online Services at Microsoft, Lu has made a drastic journey to the top thanks to what his colleagues call "Qi Time."
"During college, the amount of time I spent sleeping really started to bother me," Lu explained to me. "There are so many books I can read and so many things to learn. It feels like, for humans, 20% of our time is wasted [during sleep] in the sense that you're not putting that time towards a purpose that you care about."
Although he admits it wasn't easy, Lu has engineered his body to function on four hours of sleep a night thanks to an unusual regimen that ranges from timed cold showers to daily three-mile runs.
Driven by an unusual hunger to do more, Lu's sleeping schedule has added an extra day's worth of work time per week, which aggregates to nearly two months of productivity latched on to every calendar year. And he did it while still in college.
Ask yourself how badly do you want to do more. And what are you willing to give up for it?
5. Play the People Game
Shortly after graduating high school, Steven Spielberg began reducing the time he spent at college and increasing the time he spent hanging within the Hollywood inner circle. "[Spielberg] was going off to Sonny and Cher's place all the time," said Don Shull, Spielberg's childhood friend. In a personal letter to Shull, Spielberg revealed that he would directly approach directors and Hollywood stars on the studio lot and ask them to lunch. And keep in mind—Spielberg was only nineteen years old at the time.
"Spielberg arranged his class schedule so that he could spend three days a week at Universal, watching filmmakers at work and trying to make useful contacts," writes Joseph McBride in his detailed biography on Spielberg's career. "He frequently slept overnight in an office at the studio where he kept two suits so he could emerge onto the bustling lot each morning looking as if he hadn't slept in an office."
"Steve knew at that early age that filmmaking is not just filming—it's a people game. And he played it well," said producer William Link.
While he definitely had talent on his side, so did handfuls of other aspiring directors. What helped Spielberg become the youngest director signed to a long-term studio deal was his focus on building relationships. This has nothing to do with "networking"; this has to do with making friends and focusing on people.
What little changes can you make in your life, starting today, to put a greater focus on people? What investments can you make, in both time and money, to hone the way you play the people game?
Success can come in different fields, but the principles behind it are one. From Sugar Ray Leonard chasing the school bus to Peter Guber's corkboard, these stories show the unique personality traits that tipped the scales in favor of the world's most successful people.
Success—while defined by everyone on their own terms—is something that truly manifests itself once you make that mind-set shift and tell yourself it's go time. Are you ready to make that shift?

It's an amazing thing, this college football. An entire sport, an entire system, predicated on the way you finish, not the way you start. And so goes 2007. Michigan #12 BCS, USC #19 BCS. Who would've thought that after App State and Oregon that Michigan was on the road to the Rose Bowl (maybe Citrus?), while USC would be thinking about a trip to San Diego for the Holiday Bowl. Like I said though, it's how you finish, and we're not finished yet...not by a long shot.
As for the Big Ten Championship, Michigan can still lose one of their next two and find themselves playing for it on Nov 17th. Everyone else has at least 2 Big Ten losses. First tiebreaker is the head-to-head matchup, and fortunately not who lost to a 1AA team. Yessir...all the marbles.
Mark your calendar for November 13th. HBO will premier a documentary on the Michigan - Ohio State rivalry at 10:30pm.

One in a Million è una ballata R&B della cantante statunitense Aaliyah, scritta da Missy Elliott e prodotta da Timbaland, che dà il titolo al secondo album della cantante. La canzone è stata pubblicata come secondo singolo estratto dall'album One in a Million in Nord America nel novembre del 1996, mentre in Eurasia come terzo singolo nel 1997. Il singolo è arrivato al numero 1 delle classifiche Billboard Hot R&B/Hip Hop Airplay Singles ed è entrato nelle classifiche di vari paesi. È considerata la canzone di identificazione di Aaliyah; soprattutto dopo la sua morte, i suoi fan la citano per ricordare come l'artista stessa fosse una persona unica.

Composizione e testo
Il singolo è una ballata R&B che presenta influenze soul e soprattutto hip hop. Il produttore Timbaland ha composto il beat usando scratch e piatti, oltre al campionamento del canto di grilli, che dona al pezzo un'atmosfera notturna, misteriosa e futuristica (questa tecnica è caratteristica delle produzioni di Timbaland, e un utilizzo simile ne è stato fatto in Are You That Somebody?). Il brano è stato scritto da Missy Elliott, che presta la sua voce all'intro e all'outro della canzone, ed è una dichiarazione d'amore al proprio uomo. Aaliyah canta nella prima strofa di come tra lei e il suo partner ci sia un'ottima chimica, per cui dimostra di non avere nessuna intenzione di sostituirlo con qualcun altro, ma di voler passare tutta la vita con lui e condividere ogni cosa con lui. Il ritornello spiega appunto che il suo amore è "uno su un milione" e che la fa stare bene per tutto il giorno. La cantante continua dicendo che gli darà tutto quello di cui ha bisogno e racconta di come si sia innamorata della sua personalità, del suo sorriso e del suo stile.
Questo è il secondo singolo di Aaliyah composto da Timbaland e Missy, dopo If Your Girl Only Knew.

One in a Million aveva una struttura e una sonorità completamente diverse da tutto quello che circolava in radio in quel periodo. Missy Elliott ha ricordato spesso l'impatto che il brano ha avuto sulla musica:

"Ero in un locale una sera, e il DJ l'ha messa DIECI VOLTE, non mento. E questo mentre metteva dischi di Biggie e Tupac, e a un certo punto partiva One in a Million in mezzo a tutto quel rap di strada! Quello che ho detto è stato, OK, si tratta di qualcosa di diverso - stiamo andando oltre, stiamo cambiando la musica."

Video
Il videoclip del brano vede il regista Paul Hunter al suo debutto nel mondo dei video musicali. La prima scena mostra la cantante in un completo di pelle nero e attillato, sdraiata sul cofano di una Ford Mustang nera attorniata da giornalisti e fan che cercano di strappare autografi e foto all'artista. Nei sedili anteriori dell'auto siedono Timbaland e Missy Elliott. La scena principale del video vede la cantante con una sorta di benda metallica su un occhio e un bikini argentato che controlla da un monitor i movimenti de suo amante, interpretato da Ginuwine, il quale cerca di raggiungerla e capire dove si trovi. Aaliyah decide di mostrarsi e irrompe nella stanza dove si trova il ragazzo, approcciandolo e togliendogli la giacca, per mostrare un tatuaggio sul suo bicipite che porta il nome della cantante. La coreografia è eseguita in una stanza completamente bianca in cui l'artista danza in coppia con un solo ballerino, entrambi vestiti di bianco. Il video si conclude con la cantante in sella a una moto guidata da un altro uomo.
Il video ha delle ambientazioni high tech, molto futuristiche e minimaliste.

Remix
È presente anche una versione remix del video, in cui Timbaland e Missy Elliott appaiono nella scena girata all'interno della camera bianca insieme alla cantante, e dove Ginuwine duetta con l'artista. Anche il remix in questione è stato prodotto da Timbaland, e la base del pezzo presenta delle affinità con Pony di Ginuwine, tra cui l'uso di vocalizzi deformati.

Ricezione
La canzone ha avuto un buon successo nelle radio Statunitensi, tanto da spingere le vendite dell'album da cui è tratta. Il singolo ha raggiunto la prima posizione delle "R&B Airplay Charts" durante la settimana del 4 gennaio 1997, rimanendovi per sei settimane consecutive. Il singolo ha speso 29 settimane in questa classifica. Nella Hot 100 Airplay è arrivato invece alla numero 25. Il brano ha avuto successo anche nelle classifiche dance, grazie ai remix da club che sono stati prodotti. Nella A.R.C. Top 40 è arrivato alla posizione numero 15, non entrando però né nella Billboard Hot 100 né nella Billboard Hot R&B/Hip hop Singles & Tracks, perché nel 1997 non era ancora possibile entrare in queste classifiche ai singoli pubblicati esclusivamente per il mercato radiofonico. Nonostante ciò, la canzone è diventata una delle più famose della cantante, e quella in cui Aaliyah viene più identificata. Inizialmente il brano ha trovato delle difficoltà nell'essere inserito sul mercato, a causa del suo beat innovativo. Jomo Hankerson, cugino di Aaliyah e cofondatore della Blackground Records, ha dichiarato a tale proposito:

"Abbiamo ricevuto molta resistenza quando l'abbiamo mandato come singolo. Alcune direttori di programmi radiofonici avevano davvero un problema con i grilli, il direttore di una radio a Chicago a quel tempo disse letteralmente che non avrebbe mandato un disco con dei grilli. Non rientrava in nessuna categoria. Era un pezzo da club, ma era anche una ballad. Era bass heavy, ma era anche un gran pezzo pop. E sfortunatamente, per come funziona la radio, a loro piace catalogare un brano quando lo ascoltano. [...] Ci è voluto molto tempo, ma quando è esploso, ci è rimasto per sempre. Ha aperto la strada ad Aaliyah per diventare la trendsetter che è diventata. Sentivamo di essere all'avanguardia. Sapevamo davvero che Tim 15 anni più tardi avrebbe ancora dominato? Sapevamo che aveva le abilità per farlo, ma chi poteva immaginarselo?"

All'estero il singolo è stato pubblicato nella primavera del 1997 insieme a una riedizione di If Your Girl Only Knew. Nel Regno Unito è arrivato al numero 15, diventando il primo singolo della cantante ad entrare nella top15 britannica. Anche in Nuova Zelanda è stato il suo primo singolo a entrare nella top15, entrando al numero 14 l'8 giugno 1997 e raggiungendo la sua posizione più alta, la 11, la settimana successiva.

Classifiche

Cover
Il brano è stato reinterpretato nel 2010 dal cantautore The-Dream e nel 2011 dal cantante Omarion. Entrambe le cover sono state oggetto di aspre critiche.

Un sample del brano è stato incluso nel singolo Wild Side (2021) di Normani in collaborazione con Cardi B.
