My daughter has been nauseous every day for the last 3 weeks. Last week, she was admitted to the hospital and after an endoscopy they diagnosed her with celiac disease. She has been off gluten and lactose for a week and the nausea symptoms are just as bad. She has no pain, bowel problems or any other symptoms. Even on Zofran she has vomited. I am questioning if this something outside of the celiac diagnosis.
I would recommend giving this a little bit more time. There is quite a bit of variability in terms of the length of time it takes for the GI symptoms to resolve once celiac disease patients are started on a gluten-free diet.
As you know, in celiac disease, immune system cells called lymphocytes cause damage to the villi in the small intestine. Villi are the microscopic, finger-like projections of tissue that provide the absorptive surface necessary for digestion and absorption of nutrients. The damage to the villi in celiac disease can be quite severe. However, the injury is reversible with strict adherence to the gluten-free diet. Depending on the amount of damage, though, it can sometimes take weeks for the small intestine to heal.
I would expect there to be slow improvement over the next several weeks. If this were not the case, I would first recommend an evaluation of your daughter's diet by a registered dietitian who has experience with celiac disease. There may be hidden sources of gluten in the diet! If the diet does not seem to be the culprit, I would next recommend an evaluation for other causes of nausea and vomiting. There could certainly be more than one process causing the symptoms.

Nationwide Banking: A Life-long Mission
Besides his educational and civic aspirations, A.P. still dreamed of a nationwide branch banking system, extending from coast to coast and ultimately globally. Deep down he knew he had to purchase a prestigious bank, a bastion within the Wall Street establishment, as the first step towards making his goal of transcontinental banking a reality.
The banking capital of the nation was three thousand miles away and the most powerful banks in the country had their headquarters there. Never one to think small, A.P. wanted his bank to stand beside them, and now he had the financial power to make it so. Moreover, by the late 1920s there were already eight hundred thousand Italian immigrants living in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and the Bronx, almost twice as many as in the whole of San Francisco.
His desire to conquer Wall Street had already surfaced in 1912 when he traveled to New York with a view to opening a branch with the leaders of the Italian community. He had sent Armando Pedrini to negotiate the deal, which fell through because he was not then ready to leave California to manage the branch as the sellers had requested. In 1919, he bought the East River National Bank as a first outlet in New York and sent his brother Attilio to direct it. But this was not enough.
To reach his goal, nine years later he sent his agent, Leo Belden, to scout New York's banking scene and finally decided to acquire the Bank of America at 44 Wall Street, one of the city's oldest financial institutions. Founded in 1812, it had a sterling reputation and historically it had absorbed the First United States Bank, which attempted branch banking as far back as 1791.110 Moreover, it had close connections to the legendary House of Morgan.
Giannini had no idea of the high price he would have to pay to fulfill his lifelong banking dream, which would entail first coming to terms with J.P. Morgan, the New York tycoon. He felt he had to ask for Morgan's consent since he was still the most powerful single financial force in the country, but this proved to be a fatal miscalculation on A.P.'s part. The House of Morgan was at the corner of Wall and Broad and was often referred to as "the Corner." The transaction was concluded in March 1928. Giannini bought a majority of shares in the Bank of America for $17 million and merged it with Bowery East River National Bank and the Commercial Exchange to form the Bank of America National Association.
Suddenly Giannini owned the third-largest bank in New York. This major acquisition was possible thanks mainly to the record profits of Bancitaly. Giannini's three headquarters now were San Francisco, New York, and Los Angeles and according to the San Francisco Bulletin of the same year, an invasion of "London, Paris, and Berlin appears to set the stage for entrance of A.P. Giannini as the new colossus of the world finance."111

Hong Kong-Zhuhai bridge: World's longest sea crossing opens to quiet start
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-china-45961705
Image caption Officials said traffic was not expected to be busy on the first day
The world's longest sea crossing bridge opened to the public on Wednesday but traffic was light on its first day.
Officials said they did not expect many vehicles to immediately take to the road, adding that it could take "time to build".
The $20bn (£15.3bn) bridge spans 55km (34 miles) and connects Hong Kong to Macau and the mainland Chinese city of Zhuhai.
It was officially opened by Chinese President Xi Jinping on Tuesday.
"Every big infrastructure [project] has a relatively low volume of passenger and traffic flow in the initial period. It takes time to build up," transport secretary Frank Chan told reporters.
There were virtually no cars or lorries to be seen on the bridge but the route was plied by private shuttle buses, said the BBC's Martin Yip, who crossed from Hong Kong to Macau on Wednesday aboard one of these buses.
There was a considerable crowd queuing up for shuttle buses at the Hong Kong terminal. "The atmosphere at the terminal was buzzing - it was quite busy and people were queuing up, though many of them were pensioners. There weren't many young people," he said.
Image caption Shuttle buses have been bringing eager commuters across the border
Some eager passengers documented the entire journey on their phones, with one woman telling news agency AFP that she wanted to "check out the view".
Private drivers who want to cross the bridge have to obtain special permits, which are allocated via a stringent quota system. All vehicles also have to pay a toll.
Only 10,000 permits are available for Hong Kong residents who want to drive to Zhuhai, which is located in the province of Guangdong. The permits are valid for five years.
Only people or organisations that have made "certain financial or political contributions on the mainland" will be awarded permits, the South China Morning Post newspaper reports.
To make matters more complicated, drivers will also have to change which side of the road they are on at the crossing.
People drive on the left in Hong Kong and Macau but the bridge is Chinese territory and special merger channels have been built to cope with this.
Media captionFlying over the world's longest sea bridge
Authorities initially estimated that 9,200 vehicles would cross the bridge every day. They later lowered their estimations after new transport networks were built in the region.
Special cameras will be on the look-out for drivers on the bridge who show signs of getting sleepy, among other checks - yawn three times and the authorities will be alerted, local media report.
An engineering marvel
Designed to withstand earthquakes and typhoons, the bridge was built using 400,000 tonnes of steel, enough to build 60 Eiffel Towers.
Images of China's mega bridge
Do you dare cross China's glass bridges?
The bridge where you can 'walk through god's hands'
About 30km of its total length crosses the sea of the Pearl River delta. To allow ships through, a 6.7km section in the middle dips into an undersea tunnel that runs between two artificial islands.
The remaining sections are link roads, viaducts and land tunnels connecting Zhuhai and Hong Kong to the main bridge.
In the past, travelling between Zhuhai and Hong Kong would take up to four hours - the new bridge cuts this down to 30 minutes.
'Bridge of death'
But the bridge has also earned its fair share of criticism.
It has been dubbed the "bridge of death" by some local media outlets. At least nine workers on the Hong Kong side have died and officials told BBC News Chinese that nine had died on the mainland side, too.
There have also been concerns about the environmental impact, with conservations groups saying the project may have caused serious harm to marine life in the area - including the critically rare Chinese white dolphin.
"The project has made irreversible damage to the sea," said Samantha Lee, Assistant Director of Ocean Conservation at the WWF. "I am worried that the number will never rise again."
Image caption It is rare to see Chinese White Dolphins around the bridge after years of construction, say environmental groups
The bridge, surrounding link roads and artificial islands cost a staggering $20bn to build - the main bridge alone cost $6.92bn.
But according to an estimate by BBC Chinese, the bridge will only earn around $86m in tolls per year.
Chinese officials say it will generate up to 10 trillion yuan ($1.44tn; £1tn) for the economy, but doubts have been cast on that figure by Hong Kong lawmakers.

Justia › US Law › US Case Law › US Supreme Court › Volume 353 › Government Employees v. Windsor
Government Employees v. Windsor, 353 U.S. 364 (1957)
Government & Civic Employees Organizing Committee v. Windsor
Argued April 29-30, 1957
In an action brought to restrain the enforcement of a state statute on federal constitutional grounds, the federal court should retain jurisdiction until a definitive determination of local law questions is obtained from the local courts, and the judgment of the District Court in this case is vacated, and the cause is remanded to it with directions to retain jurisdiction until efforts to obtain an appropriate adjudication in the state courts have been exhausted. Pp. 353 U. S. 364-367.
146 F. Supp. 214, judgment vacated and cause remanded with directions.
APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF ALABAMA
In 1953, the Alabama Legislature enacted a statute, Ala.Laws 1953, No. 720 p. 974, which provides that any public employee who joins or participates in a "labor union or labor organization" forfeits the "rights, benefits, or privileges which he enjoys as a result of his public employment." Section 1 defines a "labor union or labor organization" to include an organization of employees whose purpose is to deal with employers concerning grievances, labor disputes, or conditions of employment. Teachers,
certain employees of the State Docks Board, and city and county employees, however, are exempted from the provisions of the Act.
Appellants are an organization composed of employees of governmental and civic agencies, and a member of the organization who is employed by a retail liquor store operated by the Alabama Alcoholic Beverage Control Board. They commenced this action in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Alabama to enjoin the enforcement of the state statute on the grounds that it abridged the freedoms of expression and association of public employees, and that the statute violated the Due Process, Privileges and Immunities, and Equal Protection Clauses of the Fourteenth Amendment.
The three-judge District Court, convened pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 2281, 2284, withheld the exercise of its jurisdiction, retaining the cause "for a reasonable time to permit the exhaustion of such State administrative and judicial remedies as may be available." 116 F.Supp. 354, 359. We affirmed that judgment of the District Court. 347 U.S. 901.
Appellant union commenced an action in the Alabama courts to obtain an "authoritative construction" of the state statute. A bill in equity was filed in the Circuit Court of Montgomery County, Alabama, praying that the enforcement of the statute against the union or its members be enjoined, and for a declaratory judgment that the union was not a "labor union or labor organization" within the meaning of the statute. In its complaint, the union denied that the statute applied to it or its members. None of the constitutional contentions presented in the action pending in the United States District Court were advanced in the state court action. After hearing testimony, the Circuit Court of Montgomery County denied the union's prayer for relief, holding that the statute applied to the
union, its members, and its activities. The Alabama Supreme Court affirmed. 262 Ala. 285, 78 So.2d 646. It held that a local union operating under the appellant's rules and constitution would be subject to the provisions of the Act.
The case was resubmitted to the three-judge District Court for final decree. The District Court dismissed the action with prejudice, saying that the Alabama courts have not construed the Act "in such a manner as to render it unconstitutional, and, of course, we cannot assume that the State courts will ever so construe said statute." 146 F.Supp. 214, 216. We noted probable jurisdiction. 352 U.S. 905.
We do not reach the constitutional issues. In an action brought to restrain the enforcement of a state statute on constitutional grounds, the federal court should retain jurisdiction until a definitive determination of local law questions is obtained from the local courts. One policy served by that practice is that of not passing on constitutional questions in situations where an authoritative interpretation of state law may avoid the constitutional issues. Spector Motor Co. v. McLaughlin, 323 U. S. 101, 323 U. S. 105. Another policy served by that practice is the avoidance of the adjudication of abstract, hypothetical issues. Federal courts will not pass upon constitutional contentions presented in an abstract, rather than in a concrete, form. Rescue Army v. Municipal Court, 331 U. S. 549, 331 U. S. 575, 331 U. S. 584. The bare adjudication by the Alabama Supreme Court that the union is subject to this Act does not suffice, since that court was not asked to interpret the statute in light of the constitutional objections presented to the District Court. If appellants' freedom of expression and equal protection arguments had been presented to the state court, it might have construed the statute in a different manner. Accordingly, the judgment of the District
Court is vacated, and this cause is remanded to it with directions to retain jurisdiction until efforts to obtain an appropriate adjudication in the state courts have been exhausted.
MR. JUSTICE BLACK took no part in the consideration or decision of this case.

Andrew's Society. And he donned the mantle of patron of the arts by joining the patrician Montreal Art Association and personally subsidising aspiring Québec artists such as the soon-to-be-famous Clarence Gagnon. To round out his social eminence, Morgan lived in an opulent home in Montreal's prestigious Square Mile and married Anna Lyman, daughter of a prominent drug manufacturer.
Like many of North America's emerging captains of industry, Morgan felt a paradoxical urge to escape the hurly-burly of the urban society in which his fortunes had thrived.
Academics have labelled this instinct " antimodernism": the desire to reconnect with the seemingly simpler, less chaotic rural way of life that had preceded the prosperity of the Gilded Age. There was, of course, hypocrisy underlying this idealism: you needed money, lots of it, to escape the world of capitalist excess and few possessed such wealth. Nonetheless, in the late nineteenth century America's plutocrats fled Gotham for the serenity of the countryside to places such as Tuxedo Park (a prototype gated community in the Ramapo Mountains north of New York City) and, in winter, to Florida's Palm Beach, which had been deliberately crafted as a patrician retreat.
The wealthy also pursued nature: "camping" in the Adirondacks and prowling through Kentucky's Mammoth Cave. A good example of such escapism was Marjorie Merriweather Post, heiress to the Post cereal fortune, who built an Adirondack great camp, Topridge, for summer escape and a Palm Beach winter mansion, Mar-a-Lago (now owned by Donald Trump as his country club weekend retreat from Washington politics).
63 retail stations, a pneumatic cash system and 15,000 square feet of windows to display its wares to the passing world. In 1893, the childless Henry bequeathed his majority share of the company to James and Colin.
Not surprisingly, the outgoing James became company president and Colin, always the details man, its vice president.
Montreal Star rated him a millionaire. His business acumen spread in other directions: he became a promoter of cement, real estate and bank note companies. He embraced Montreal's tradition of Scottish philanthropy, becoming a governor of the city's hospital for the insane. He displayed his Fifeshire roots by becoming an influential member of the St.
was accelerated by mass production, which standardised manufacture and drove costs down. Modern advertising further fanned this appetite for consumption into what American economist Thorstein Veblen labelled " conspicuous consumption," that is, buyers purchasing goods that exceeded their actual need, but which flattered their social pretensions.
The late nineteenth century in every western economy was studded with the names of retailers who perfected the art of selling through department stores. These names have installed themselves in the panoply of western retailing: Alvah Roebuck, Charles Henry Harrod, Rowland Macy, Harry Selfridge, Frank Woolworth and Théophile Bader, to name some of the best and the brightest. The department store revolution came to Canada in 1845 when a flinty Scottish immigrant, Henry Morgan, partnered with another Scot, David Smith. "Smith and Morgan" combined the traditional wholesaling of English goods into Canada with a front-end retail emporium on Montreal's Notre Dame Street.
Catherine Street, Montreal, QC, c.1890.

Q: How to add a function to discord.py event loop? I am using Python with discord.py. Documentation here
I've got a bot that is running on a Discord server that links the server with a subreddit. Users have various commands that do things like getting the top submissions, getting the latest submissions, and so on.
I want to add some features to the bot, with one of them being a keyword notifier. The bot should search the subreddit for keywords in the title, and then notify users if they are on the list for that keyword. I know how to do this, I've done it plenty of times, but I don't know how to do it with a Discord bot. I have no experience with asynchio or any kind of asynchronous programming.
The way I've tried to do it works, but it is very janky and definitely not good. At the top of the on message() function, I just add a call to the search_submissions() function, so that whenever someone puts sends a new message on the server, the bot will scan the Reddit submissions. The server is busy enough that this would work relatively okay, but I really want to do it the "proper" way.
I don't know how to call the search_submissions() function without putting it inside of on_message().

Edit for extra code:
import discord

TOKEN = "redacted"
client = discord.Client()

@client.event
async def reddit_search():
    print("Searching")

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
    if message.content.startswith("reddit!hot"):
        # Get hot
    # Do other things.

@client.event
async def on_ready():
    print("Connected to Discord as {}.".format(client.user.name))

client.run(TOKEN)

A: The other answers here don't take into account discord.py's helpful tasks.loop decorator.
To make an event occur every 5 seconds, you would use
from discord.ext import tasks, commands

class MyCog(commands.Cog):
    def __init__(self):
        self.foo.start()

    def cog_unload(self):
        self.printer.cancel()

    @tasks.loop(seconds=5.0)
    async def foo(self):
        print('bar')

More can be found here: https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/tasks/

A: You want your search_submissions() function to be async so other functions of your bot can still be invoked and your bot stays responsive. Define it to be def async and use aiohttp to send async HTTP requests to reddit -- what this does is send off the request, relinquish control to the event loop, and then take back control once the results have been transmitted back. If you use a standard HTTP library here instead then your whole bot will be blocked until the result comes back. This of course only makes sense if the task is mainly I/O-bound and less CPU-bound.
Then call search_submissions() in on_message(message) -- but call it asynchronously using result = await search_submissions(). This will resume execution of on_message once the result of search_submissions is ready.
If you truly want to do something else in the same context while waiting on search_submissions (which I think is unlikely), dispatch it as task = asyncio.create_task(search_submissions()). This will start the task immediately and allow you to do something else within the same function. Once you need the result you will have to result = await task.
async def search_submissions():
    async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
        async with session.get(some_reddit_url) as response:
            return await response.read()

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
    if message.content.startswith("reddit!hot"):
        result = await search_submissions()
        await message.channel.send(result)

A: You can add a function to the bot event loop with Client.loop.create_task(search_submissions()) like this:
async def search_submissions():
    pass

client = discord.Client()

client.loop.create_task(search_submissions())
client.run(TOKEN)

Update:
If you want your function to continue working you can put it in a while loop with some sleeping in between:
async def search_submissions():
    while(true):
        # do your stuff
        await asyncio.sleep(1)

Transfers/Rumours
The Summer of Spain's Highs and Lows
Spain were worthy winners of this year's European Championship, boasting an array of talented youngsters as well as sturdy experience.
They finished top of their group, winning all three games, scoring an impressive 8 goals. In the quarter finals they took on World Champions, Italy, with the game finishing 0-0. Italy played for the draw, doing all they could to extinguish the flair and excitement of the Spanish team. The Italians paid the price for this though, losing out in the penalty shoot out they were banking on winning.
In the semi-finals Spain faced Russia, who'd knocked out the previously incredibly impressive Dutch in the quarters. Again though, the Spanish team were too much for them, winning easily in the end, with United target David Silva scoring the third in a 3-0 win.
Fernando YSB Torres scored the only goal in the final, crowning Spain European Champions in a 1-0 win over Germany.
This was just one of the highs and lows Spain have experienced this summer, but it appears as though they will be approaching the Autumn on a downer, if their antics at the Olympics are anything to go by!
Rafael Nadal beat Roger Federer, who has been number one in the World for over four years, in the final of Wimbledon, continuing the great run for Spain.
Real Madrid president, Ramon Calderon was in the crowd that day, cheering on Nadal. It appeared then that the Spanish giants were going to get their hands on Manchester United's prize asset, Cristiano Ronaldo.
"OK, President, where's this Cristiano Ronaldo we're supposed to be signing?" Nadal reportedly asked Calderon.
The Real chief replied: "Relax, Rafa, everything's under control and we've got him done and dusted."
However, things have gone sour for Spain since then. Ronaldo confirmed that he was rejecting a move to Real Madrid, preferring to stay in Manchester, and now, their Olympic basketball team have made a total show of themselves.
With the Olympic games taking place in China, the Spanish basketball team decided to go with the 'slit-eye' look in their team photo. Marca, who have been the bane of our lives this summer, printed the photo as an advertisement for Spanish sports. In the light of the criticism, some of the players claimed they felt uncomfortable posing in such a way, whilst others didn't see the problem with the picture.
"We thought it was something appropriate and that it would always be interpreted as somewhat loving," one player said. "Nevertheless, some of the European media did not see it this way." Oops.
How will the summer end? With Valencia surrendering the services of Silva to United? Here's hoping Spain's downwards trend continues…

Im surprised Nadal supports Real when his uncle played for Barca.(fuckin turncoat).Going on to that picture I dont think they realise how stupid and childish ,bordering on the racist they look .But we all remember how the black players were racially abused when playing for England against Spain in the Bernabeu (I wonder which club team plays there?) and who can forget the way Lewis Hamilton was abused by Spanish fans last summer ?All in all I think there are parts of Europe that are stuck in some sort of backward time warp and for the team to pose like that they dont think they are doing anything wrong just shows you how lucky we are to live in England . P.S the Argentine female football team did excactly the same (but theyre women what do you expect) also what does YSB stand for?????

Singh: YSB = You Scouse Bastard
Can't believe how stupid some people are! (this referring to the Spanish and Argentinian teams)
To SAM I thought it was You Son Of A Bitch but its just as good : THANX
I wasn't convinced in June/July; I'm not convinced now. Of course, they had to beat what was put in front of them but that was not a terribly-difficult task. The opposition were poor - lots of teams of Ingerland quality like Poland, Czech, Sweden, and Greece not to mention the two "hosts" who got a free pass - ha ! The usual suspects were out-of-sorts (esp. France and Italy) and German was over-rated from the get-go. Holland had a great chance of winning but they conspired to be the nearly-team again.
Russia gave a good account of themselves and so did Turkey but Croatia were very, very disappointing - so were Scolari's Portugal. The Great Filipao persisted with the very ordinary Simao while keeping exciting, unpredictable talents like Quaresma and Nani on the bench. And some people think that this guy will "out fox" the OldeFootieKnight. What are they breathing ?

Calls for safety as friends mourn teen killed by SunRail train
SANFORD, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35) - As friends and family of Marcees Kilpatrick came together to celebrate his life, many couldn't help but cringe at the sound of the SunRail train passing by every half hour.
On Tuesday night, they held a vigil for the 13-year-old in the empty lot at Historic Goldsboro Blvd. and Dixie Way in Sanford; the lot that borders the train tracks where he died.
On Friday night, Marcees was crossing the SunRail tracks with his bike and was struck. The spot is marked with a "No Trespassing" sign, but neighbors said people can be seen crossing in that area all day every day. Currently that sign is the only thing blocking people from the tracks.
"Did we really have to have a kid get killed to get what we need to protect our kids here?" said Starregina Lawrence, a family friend of Kilpatrick's who organized Tuesday's vigil.
Lawrence said since the accident Friday many people in the neighborhood have questioned why more protection didn't go up there when the Sunrail started going through, or why some sort of bridge wasn't added to get pedestrians safely to the other side.
A representative for the Florida Department of Transportation said in a statement:
Safety is the Florida Department of Transportation's top priority. FDOT has identified this area as a candidate for safety enhancements. Current measures include no trespassing signage. Proposed enhancements include installing fencing in an attempt to curtail cut-through foot traffic and trespassing on the mainline rail corridor. The proposed project is currently in the development stage. SunRail urges everyone to be careful around railroad tracks.
That representative said that the process to build something at that spot is moving on about as fast a track as it can, but planning, even for a fence, takes time.
During the vigil Tuesday, friends and classmates described Kilpatrick as an outgoing kid and a light in their lives. For his legal guardian and his parents it was the first time they'd been able to bring themselves to come to those tracks since Marcees's death.
"It's been heck," said his guardian Eunice Beasley. "I don't sleep at night. I wake up thinking he's in his room, but he's not there and it hurts me so bad."

AS Monaco win crosstown match against Nice
By Stephanie Horsman - November 9, 2020
The Red and Whites have beaten Riviera rival OGC Nice in a hard-fought match ending in a solid 2-1 victory.
Crosstown rivals AS Monaco and OGC Nice played their 99th match against each other on Sunday at the Allianz Riviera, ending in an exciting win for the Red and Whites.
Coach Niko Kovac said it best in a rare display of enthusiastic compliments for his team, saying that his men, "played very good football, especially in the first 30 minutes when we were close to perfection."
The coach maintained the 4-4-2 starting line-up from the teams' previous win against Bordeaux, with the notable exception of Vito Mannone, who was in the goal box in place of the injured Benjamin Lecomte.
Monaco hit the ground running with a series of excellent plays, starting as soon as three minutes in when Kevin Volland almost made a goal, instead hitting the crossbar. This seemed to rev the Red and Whites up and they continued with some strong plays by Volland, Wissam Ben Yedder and Youssouf Fofana.
Finally, at the 23-minute mark, Axel Disani took a perfect header, converting it into the opening score of the game, his second goal of the season. At halftime, the score sat at 1-0 Monaco favour.
After the break, around 53 minutes in, it was Sofiane Diop, who had made some excellent assists earlier, who got the ball between the posts, scoring the second goal for Monaco.
Nice sprung to action and in the 69th minute saw Pierre Lees-Melou made a fantastic play, beating out Mannone for the goal, their only score of the game.
"It's been a few years since AS Monaco won in Nice, so it's a great satisfaction for the team and the supporters," said Coach Kovac after the match. "We were able to create a lot of opportunities for ourselves and logically managed to open the scoring. I think this victory is deserved."
This win puts Monaco in 6th position in the Ligue 1 standings, a good place to be as they go into the break. The team will then take on number one ranked Paris Saint-Germain at a home game at Stade Louis II on the 20th of November.

One of the last living avant-gardists speaks – Gyorgy Kurtag on his new Beckett opera
The nonagenarian opens up to Norman Lebrecht on the eve of the premiere of his first opera at La Scala

Arriving in Budapest, I receive a summons I cannot refuse. Gyorgy Kurtag wants to see me. Famously elusive, the last of the living avant-gardists is about to present his first opera at La Scala Milan this month and, if past form is anything to go by, he's unlikely to utter much about it beyond a cryptic Magyar aphorism.
Kurtag is 92 and his Scala opera — Fin de Partie, after Samuel Beckett's Endgame — is a hefty 450 pages long, which may be as much music as he has written in half a lifetime. So why is this master miniaturist — famous for compressing his ideas down to a few chords — submitting a vast opera to the unforgiving glare of an Italian first-night audience? It's a bit like Beckett turning up at the Folies Bergère with a two-act cabaret.
I meet him that evening at the Budapest Music Centre, a corner house with two concert halls where the composer and his wife Marta live as guests of Laszlo Goz, a jazz musician who couldn't bear to see them struggling up three flights of stairs to their old flat. It's a Sunday and the centre is shuttered and silent as we take the lift up to the third floor. Kurtag is seated at a light-wood upright piano.
'I want to play you my new piece,' he says, after introductions.
'How new?' I ask.
'I wrote it yesterday. For Marta. For her birthday.'
What follows is four minutes of unblinking concentration underpinned by an acute awareness that I am hearing a great composer play his music while it is still wet. The piece has a punning French text by Attila Jozsef, a suicidal Hungarian poet — Je n'ai point de thème/ excepté que je t'aime (I have no view, except that I love you) — quavered by Kurtag in a voice that barely breaches the pauses between his piano notes. Kurtag makes you listen more intently than any composer before or since. I know from the opening phrase that no one but Kurtag could have written it. His music falls like rain on a parched field, each drop finding a receptive patch. Even the silences are recognisably Kurtag. Silences, in Kurtag as in Beckett, are the foundations of his work.
When the piece is over Marta turns to me and asks, in German, 'Do you have questions?'
The new opera is, by my rough count, the third work he has composed on Beckett. Why Beckett? Kurtag gives an affectionate shrug. 'Ligeti,' he smiles, 'Ligeti once said I should go to see Beckett.'
Hungary's two most important modernists met in a Budapest college corridor after the war and became instant friends. 'I knew Gyorgy Ligeti before he did,' interjects Marta, 'we were refugees in Bucharest in '44. Kurtag came later.' The three of them spent every Saturday singing Mozart operas at the piano, Marta taking the female parts, Ligeti the male, Kurtag the orchestra. When the Russians invaded Hungary in October 1956, Ligeti and his wife decided to cross the Austrian border at night. The Kurtags were meant to join them but failed to show up. A year later they were reunited in Paris after Kurtag got permission to study there. He fell into depression and sought psychiatric help. Ligeti sent him to see a Beckett play in French. It became his composing breakthrough.
Had he, I wonder, ever considered James Joyce? 'The last scene of Finnegans Wake!' he cries, exultant at the memory. 'Boulez gave me a commission for the London Symphony Orchestra,' he chuckles. 'But I needed to write it with a complicated female chorus. He told me that it had to go on tour and they could not afford to take so many women.' There must have been another reason. No amateur English chorus could surely assimilate a new Kurtag piece in limited rehearsal time. I start to realise that his fragments of speech contain as many pauses as his music. He has more to say about Finnegans Wake: 'Possibly I was afraid of it.'
He made his living for eight years as a repetiteur with the Hungarian national orchestra before being appointed professor of piano at the Franz Liszt Academy, teaching there for a quarter of a century. Marta was a concert pianist, performing across eastern Europe. Since 1973 Kurtag has been composing Játékok, a series of 'pedagogical performance pieces' inspired by the noise of kids in a playground. Reminiscent of Bela Bartok's Mikrokosmos, the series harks back and forth to Bach, the composer they both revere. A private video of the nonagenarian Kurtags playing Gyorgy's Bach transcriptions side-by-side at home has scored almost a quarter of a million hits on YouTube. This domestic double act has proved an unlikely triumph on tour, too.
How long has he been working on Endgame. 'Five years before I accepted the commission [from La Scala and Dutch National Opera]. I don't like commissions,' he explains. 'I like to see where a piece is going.' Why did he wait so long to write an opera? He confides that there was one other idea that caught his imagination. 'It was a Hungarian translation of a 16th-century version of the Elektra story, but there was already one Elektra…'
He is tiring, but his eyes are sparkling and he is keen to chat. Andras Keller, professor at the Guildhall School and a Kurtag pupil since he was 14, whispers in my ear, 'He's not always like this… he can be very quiet and severe.' After a major premiere he will berate an orchestra for its faults, telling the principal flute that she alone played the right notes.
In recent weeks the La Scala cast — Frode Olsen, Leigh Melrose, Hilary Summers, Leonardo Cortellazzi and conductor Markus Stenz — have been visiting him to rehearse their parts. There is an archive downstairs containing all of his works for ready reference, as well as an impressive Mahler collection. Kurtag has Mahler's ninth symphony — a kind of Endgame — open on his stand. His room — huge windows, chaotic work-tables — reminds me of Ligeti's in Hamburg. I once heard Ligeti orate for an hour on a millennium of history as seen through his friendship with Kurtag. Since Ligeti's death in 2006, Kurtag is all we have left.
Friends drop by daily to make sure the couple have all they need and the staff of the music centre will run up at the touch of a bell. Using a Zimmer frame to get about, Kurtag is kept sprightly by the woman he married 70 years ago. As he escorts us to the lift, Marta calls over, 'Come on, you can do quicker than that.' The last of the musical revolutionaries gives a huge grin and pretends to skip toward his beloved, whose birthday he has just celebrated in a minute new masterpiece.
Fin de Partie receives its world première at La Scala, Milan, on 15 November.

We will display these posters (and others) at the meeting of the Oxford City Council West Area Planning Committee to decide the Seacourt park and ride extension planning application, which (as you may have gathered by now) we oppose. The meeting is tomorrow evening (12 December) in the Assembly Room at the Town Hall and is open to the public; if you oppose the application please do attend. The meeting starts at 6pm and this will be the first application to be considered.


We all know Charles de Gaulle Airport is not easy to navigate. The new shuttles connecting all the terminals are pretty esthetic and logical but also very slow. The people at the gate or at the security checkpoints have never been fast, sometimes arrogant and often more focused on conversing with a fellow French friend the speeding up the queue for travelers that have a short connection.
But all that can happen anywhere. What happened to me this weekend though took it to a new French bureaucratic level.
After the customary 10 min wait time I order in my best French. After being served my food (thus no way back…) the waitress tells me that I can only get a knife and fork if I hand over my passport for security collateral… Of course I hesitate, but my lunch is staring at me and I see no other alternatives then eating salmon on cream cheese with my bare hands. SO I agree, and hand over my passport to a complete stranger, in a foreign country. Of course I don't get a receipt, just a deadly fork and knife to eat my food.
The inevitable happened. Murphy's law struck.
After finishing my lunch (and spending 20+ minutes to get some form of airport Wi-Fi…) I paid, and after a nice thank you from the waitress went on to go find my gate….
15 min later I get at my gate. Panic. No passport. It took me five minutes of anxiety to remember I had been so stupid to hand it to my waitress (who also forgot to remind me to take it back when she collected the check…).
Running back. 10 min later at the restaurant they tell me they don't have my passport anymore. In their wisdom they had sent someone after me without knowing what gate I was at. But they would call her back. Just wait.
6 min. 9 min. 15 min. My plane is about to leave in 20 min now….
After 30 min someone comes running back with my passport. She had gone to the j-gates instead of the m-gates where my plane had been moved too. I make my flight since it was delayed. First time I'm happy with a CDG delay.
Unbelievable. But in hindsight also very typical. Flying over Amsterdam again next time.

PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, comunemente abbreviato in PUBG, è un gioco sviluppato e pubblicato da Bluehole per Microsoft Windows. Basato sul genere Battle royale, nasce come mod di ArmA II prima di avere uno sviluppo indipendente sotto la direzione di Brendan Greene.

In data 27 agosto 2017, PUBG ha superato Dota 2 di Valve Corporation in numero di giocatori contemporanei, diventando il gioco più giocato su Steam. Il 29 dicembre 2017 il gioco supera il record di 3 milioni di giocatori simultanei.

Dal 12 gennaio 2022, PUBG diventa un gioco Free to Play, scaricabile e giocabile quindi gratuitamente sui diversi supporti (PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Serie X/S e Google Stadia).
Su console quindi non sono più necessari gli abbonamenti di PS Plus e Xbox Live Gold, anche se, per giocare le partite classificate, rimane obbligatorio l'acquisto del pacchetto Battleground Plus. I giocatori in possesso del gioco da prima che questo diventasse Free to play riceveranno il Battleground Plus a costo zero.

Modalità di gioco
PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds è un videogioco Battle Royale, una tipologia di gioco dove fino a 100 giocatori combattono in un'ampia arena per rimanere gli ultimi in vita. Si può scegliere di giocare da soli, in due e anche in quattro.

Ogni partita inizia con i giocatori che si devono paracadutare da un aereo in una mappa grande approssimativamente 8 x 8 km. La traiettoria di volo dell'aereo varia da partita a partita, ciò porta i giocatori a dover determinare rapidamente il punto di caduta e quando espellere il paracadute. I giocatori partono senza nessun attrezzo né arma, solo con alcuni capi di abbigliamento selezionabili nel menù di gioco e sono un fattore puramente estetico. Una volta atterrati, i giocatori vanno in cerca di case o edifici nelle quali possono trovare armi, attrezzature, munizioni, armature e veicoli. Questi elementi sono disposti tramite un algoritmo di generazione procedurale dall'inizio alla fine della partita, con oggetti migliori posti in zone più rischiose della mappa. I giocatori uccisi lasciano una cassa; al suo interno è presente l'equipaggiamento del morto, saccheggiabile. I giocatori hanno la possibilità di giocare in prima o terza persona, ciascuno con i propri svantaggi e vantaggi durante le fasi di combattimento ed esplorazione.

Ogni pochi minuti la mappa inizia a ridursi verso una posizione casuale; qualsiasi giocatore al di fuori della zona sicura (safe zone) di forma circolare, subisce danni in modo incrementale fino a morire se non torna in tempo nella zona di sicurezza. Ciò si traduce in uno spazio di gioco sempre più piccolo, aumentando la possibilità di incontro tra i giocatori superstiti. Durante il corso della partita, delle regioni casuali della mappa sono evidenziate in rosso e bombardate dall'alto, diventando una minaccia per i giocatori presenti al suo interno. In entrambi i casi (restringimento della mappa e bombardamento) i giocatori sono avvertiti qualche minuto prima, dando loro tempo di trasferirsi in sicurezza. Nel corso della partita un aereo sorvolerà la mappa di gioco e in luoghi casuali lascerà cadere una cassa contenente oggetti speciali che in genere non sono ottenibili se non in questo modo. Queste casse una volta cadute a terra emettono del fumo rosso, diventando così visibili e rintracciabili dai giocatori inducendoli ad ulteriori confronti tra di loro. In media una partita completa non supera i 30 minuti.

Al termine di ogni partita i giocatori ricevono della valuta di gioco in base a quanti giocatori hanno ucciso, a quanto tempo sono sopravvissuti e a quanti danni hanno inflitto e curato. La valuta viene utilizzata per acquistare casse contenenti articoli puramente estetici per la personalizzazione del personaggio.

Una nuova modalità è stata aggiunta nel marzo 2018. Essa comporta una possibilità di creare squadre più grandi o la modifica della distribuzioni delle armi e attrezzature nella mappa di gioco.

Sviluppo
Il capo designer Brendan Greene aveva precedentemente creato la mod DayZ: Battle Royale, una variante della mod DayZ per ARMA II e ispirata al film omonimo del 2000. Al momento della creazione di DayZ: BattleRoyale Greene, nato in Irlanda, visse in Brasile per alcuni anni facendo il fotografo, il grafico e il web designer. Durante il suo soggiorno ha giocato a videogiochi come Delta Force: Black Hawk Down e America's Army. La mod di DayZ ha attirato il suo interesse, sia per la sua elevata simulazione militare sia per il suo gameplay aperto; Greene ha iniziato a giocare in un server privato, imparando a programmare nel mentre. Notò che la maggior parte degli sparatutto in prima persona fosse ripetitiva, considerando le mappe piccole e facili da memorizzare. Greene voleva creare qualcosa con più aspetti casuali in modo che i giocatori non sapessero cosa aspettarsi, creando un alto livello di rigiocabilità: ciò è stato applicato creando mappe più grandi che non potevano essere facilmente memorizzabili e oggetti posizionati in modo casuali in esse. Le prime versioni della mod furono ispirate ai romanzi di Hunger Games, in cui i giocatori avrebbero cercato di competere per le armi e le attrezzature nella posizione centrale, ma si allontanò da questa idea per dare una possibilità più elevata di sopravvivenza per i giocatori e per evitare problemi di copyright con i romanzi. Prendendo ispirazione dal film Battle Royale, Green voleva usare aree quadrate come spazi di gioco, però la sua inesperienza della codifica lo portò a creare aree circolari, che persistono in Battlegrounds.

La Sony Online Entertainment (ora chiamata Daybreak Game Company) si interessò al lavoro di Greene e lo prese come consulente per sviluppare H1Z1, dando a lui la licenza dell'idea battle royale. Nel febbraio 2016, Sony Online divise H1Z1 in due giochi separati: la modalità sopravvivenza H1Z1: Just Survive e la modalità battle royale H1Z1: King of the Kill. Nello stesso periodo Greene finì il suo periodo da consulente.

Separatamente, lo studio Ginno Games di Seoul diretto da Chang-han Kim che ha sviluppato massively multiplayer online games (MMO) per personal computers, è stato acquistato dalla Bluehole e ribattezzato Bluehole Ginno Games. nel gennaio 2015. Kim riconobbe che produrre e pubblicare un gioco di successo nella Corea del Sud equivarrebbe a farlo diventare famoso in scala internazionale. Voleva usare il suo team per creare un titolo di successo per personal computer seguendo lo stesso modello dei giochi sviluppato precedentemente dalla Bluehole. Era entusiasta di creare un gioco battle royale dopo aver giocato a DayZ, anche se la tipologia di gioco non aveva riscosso molto successo in Corea del Sud. Voleva anche svilupparlo attraverso un'alpha e avere un programma di sviluppo molto limitato per ottenere il gioco il più rapidamente possibile. Nella sua ricerca di giochi in fase di sviluppo, si imbatté nella mod di Greene e lo contattò.

Nello stesso periodo in cui Greene lasciò la Sony Online, Kim lo contattò e gli offrì l'opportunità di lavorare su un nuovo concetto di battle royale. Nel giro di una settimana, Greene volò a Seoul nel quartier generale della Bluehole per discutere delle opzioni e, un paio di settimane dopo, divenne direttore creativo della Bluehole. Si trasferì a Seoul per sovraintendere allo sviluppo. Secondo Greene, questa era la prima volta che uno studio di gioco coreano aveva assunto uno straniero per il ruolo di direttore creativo, e affermò che il suo rapporto con lo studio Bluehole era forte, portando il team a sviluppare il gioco in modo autonomo e con una supervisione minima.

Lo sviluppo è iniziato all'inizio del 2016 ed è stato annunciato pubblicamente a giugno, con l'intenzione di far sì che il gioco fosse pronto entro un anno. Bluehole iniziò con un team di circa 35 sviluppatori che supportarono il lavoro di Greene, aumentando a 70 nel giugno 2017. Greene afferma che molti di questi sviluppatori lavoravano volontariamente oltre l'orario di lavoro standard a causa della loro dedizione e passione al progetto, non per ordini di Greene o della direzione Bluehole.

Con la rapida crescita dell'interesse per il gioco, la Bluehole ha trasferito l'intero sviluppo del gioco alla Bluehole Ginno Games, soprannominata successivamente PUBG Corporation con Kim come capo esecutivo d'ufficio. PUBG Corporation continuò lo sviluppo del gioco e il suo marketing in crescita, aprendo uno studio negli Stati Uniti e con progetti di aprirne uno in Europa e uno in Giappone.

Nel 2018, Bluehole ha creato Krafton come la società principale che avrebbe raggruppato i suoi studi e nel 2020, PUBG Corporation ha cambiato nome in "PUBG Studios".

Design
Battlegrounds rappresenta la versione indipendente di ciò che Greene crede sia la versione finale del concetto battle royale, incorporando elementi che aveva disegnato nelle precedenti iterazioni. Uno sviluppo più rapido rispetto ad ARMA e H1Z1 è stato grazie al motore di gioco Unreal Engine 4, che al contrario dei rivali non è . Greene ha riconosciuto che l'implementazione della grandezza delle mappe di gioco è stato un problema difficile da superare, essendo il motore Unreal Engine 4 non pensato per progettare tali mappe. Il gioco è stato progettato unendo la simulazione realistica di ARMA III e il focus di azione, arcade e accessibilità del giocatore in H1Z1.

Sulla base dell'esperienza di Greene con il genere, un'isola con una morfologia del territorio complessa è stata scelta come mappa di gioco, nota con il nome di "Erangel". Lo scopo del design della mappa era offrire ai giocatori svariate opzioni possibili per un gameplay strategico e unico. Alcuni edifici e strutture furono disegnate sulla base degli edifici dell'Unione Sovietica durante gli anni '50. Il team di sviluppo ha testato (giocando) le funzionalità di architettura e i sistemi di posizionamento degli oggetti casuali, esaminando il modo in cui avvengono gli incontri ravvicinati e quelli in aree aperte. L'obiettivo era quello di ottimizzare la giusta distribuzione e il posizionamento di armi e attrezzature sulla mappa, per incoraggiare i giocatori a prendere decisioni strategiche su come procedere nel gioco senza penalizzare eccessivamente i giocatori che potrebbero non trovare armi entro i primi minuti di un round. Durante l'accesso anticipato, furono progettate mappe aggiuntive, come una serie su un'isola immaginaria nel mare Adriatico che includeva territori jugoslavi coperti di neve.

La caduta libera da un aereo all'inizio di ogni partita è stata una nuova caratteristica del genere, per incoraggiare la strategia del fare gruppo con il proprio team oppure del cercare il proprio percorso per una migliore possibilità di trovare un buon bottino.  Con l'aggiunta del lancio del paracadute, Greene ha considerato PUBG come tre sotto-giochi distinti: il salto, per il quale si deve calcolare rapidamente il momento migliore per buttarsi e dove atterrare in relazione agli altri giocatori, il periodo di ricerca del bottino, durante il quale è necessario sapere dove e come raccogliere le migliori attrezzature e il gioco di combattimento contro gli altri giocatori.  I giocatori che vincono una partita vengono salutati con la frase "winner winner chicken dinner" (lett. vincitore vincitore cena di pollo!), un idioma che Greene aveva usato nei suoi precedenti giochi di battaglia e conservato in PUBG, che aveva origini già dalla Grande Depressione.

Le funzionalità che Greene prevede di aggiungere includono la personalizzazione del gioco con il supporto per il modding. Egli considera il supporto al modding una parte essenziale della versione completa poiché, proprio come ha fatto lui, vuole consentire ad altri di creare variazioni al suo gioco in modo che si possa "trovare il prossimo PlayerUnknown".  Prevede inoltre di introdurre microtransazioni per consentire ai giocatori di utilizzare fondi reali per l'acquisto di casse di bottino che forniscono oggetti estetici distribuiti a caso, noti anche come "skin" che si possono scambiare con altri giocatori; mentre Greene riconosce il problema con il gioco d'azzardo delle "skin", crede che Valve metterà in atto misure di salvaguardia per sostenere una "economia delle skin" che fornirà ulteriori guadagni senza preoccupazioni sul gioco d'azzardo.

In seguito alle polemiche, a novembre 2017, sull'uso di casse bottino per offrire articoli "pay-to-win" in altri giochi, la PUBG Corporation ha affermato che mentre continueranno ad aggiungere nuovi articoli estetici premiati con acquisti di casse in-game, essi "non aggiungeranno mai nulla che influisca sul gameplay".

L'intero sistema di micro-transazioni non dovrebbe essere pubblicato fino a quando il gioco non uscirà dall'accesso anticipato. Greene prevede di aggiungere una modalità campagna con il supporto del gioco cooperativo, anche se non ci sarebbe "nessuna storia seria" creata per la narrativa, confrontandola con la modalità simile in Watch Dogs.

Per prevenire il cheating (l'uso di programmi alternativi finalizzati ad imbrogliare durante il gioco), PUBG utilizza il software anti-cheat "BattlEye", che ha vietato l'accesso al gioco a più di 6.000 giocatori nell'ottobre 2017 e oltre 2,5 milioni all'inizio del 2018, con oltre un milione nel solo gennaio.  Nel dicembre 2017, BattlEye ha indicato che il 99% delle cheat sono state fatte in Cina.

Pubblicazione

Il gioco è stato distribuito il 23 marzo 2017 sulla piattaforma Steam, in modalità early access: lo sviluppo del gioco avviene anche attraverso i feedback dei giocatori, soprattutto streamers.

Il 19 marzo 2018 è uscita la versione mobile del gioco per iOS e Android, chiamata PUBG mobile.

Il gioco è stato pubblicato su Xbox One il 4 settembre 2018.

Il 7 dicembre 2018, dopo la scadenza del contratto di esclusività stretto da Microsoft, il gioco è uscito anche su PlayStation 4.

Accoglienza

Vendite
Il gioco ha fruttato 11 milioni di dollari nei primi tre giorni della sua versione iniziale per Windows. Nella seconda settimana di aprile 2017, il gioco ha raggiunto gli 890.000 giocatori registrati.SuperData Research ha stimato che le vendite di aprile hanno superato i 34 milioni di dollari, ponendola tra le migliori 10 del mese superando Overwatch e Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. A maggio 2017, il gioco aveva venduto oltre due milioni di copie, fruttando 60 milioni di dollari. Entro i tre mesi di lancio del gioco, aveva superato le 5 milioni di copie vendute e Bluehole ha annunciato di aver superato i 100 milioni di dollari di ricavi. PUBG ha raggiunto il valore di quattro milioni di dollari più velocemente di Minecraft, che ha impiegato più di un anno per raggiungere simili cifre.

Nel dicembre 2017 PUBG conta 30 milioni di giocatori in tutto il mondo, tra le versioni Windows e Xbox. Secondo SuperData le entrate nella fine del 2017 sono state di circa 712 milioni di dollari.

Nel febbraio 2018 il gioco aveva venduto più di 30 milioni di copie su Steam. Il mese seguente Gabe Newell dichiarò che PUBG era il terzo gioco di maggior incasso di tutti i tempi.

'Is this a thing?': Ariana Grande's reaction to 'That's My Jam' game tickles host Jimmy Fallon
Jimmy Fallon is giggling gleefully because President Joe Biden has shared the "Tonight Show" host's pandemic-themed holiday song, just hours before Biden gave Fallon his first late-night interview as commander in chief.
"The president just tweeted about my song so I'm freaking out," Fallon says of "It Was A … (Masked Christmas)," an upbeat track promoting COVID-19 booster vaccines featuring Fallon, Ariana Grande and Megan Thee Stallion. Fallon has experienced COVID-19 first-hand, announcing on Instagram Monday that he tested positive for the disease in December and has recovered after experiencing mild symptoms.
Music, at the heart of Fallon's new game show "That's My Jam," has been a constant in his life. He remembers being raised on radio.
"My dad had me and my sister climb into our attic and hang speaker wire to build a giant antenna for our house (to get radio reception)," says Fallon, 47. "Probably not the safest thing for children. The whole house is basically a microwave."
Miley Cyrus and Pete Davidson: Cyrus sings 'It Should Have Been Me' to Davidson, teases Kim Kardashian romance rumors
The humorous tracks played by Dr. Demento (aka Barret Eugene Hansen) inspired Fallon to compose music of his own.
"I got into writing novelty songs and funny songs and comedy songs," he says. "So that was always part of my life, doing impressions and being into music."
NBC's "That's My Jam" (premieres Monday, 9 EST/PST) pits two teams of paired celebrities, who go head-to-head for the charities of their choice in music-themed games, some of which have been featured on "The Tonight Show."
In "Air Guitar," a correct answer to a trivia question sends a blast of air and confetti shooting at your opponents' faces. A wrong guess sends the rush of air your way. Don't know the lyrics for "Slay It, Don't Spray It"? Then water will shoot out of your microphone. A Mixtape Medley showdown between powerhouses Kelly Clarkson and Ariana Grande in the series' previously aired sneak peek resulted in tears, Fallon says, after Clarkson slayed Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You." "People were crying in the audience," he says. "I've never seen anything like it."
Chance The Rapper, Bebe Rexha, Josh Groban and Normani are among guests for the debut season, but professional musicians aren't the show's only successes. Fallon is impressed with performances by Kate Hudson, Taraji P. Henson and Anthony Anderson.
Fallon shares his dream guests, favorite games and whether he's eyeing an end to his "Tonight Show" tenure:.
Watch Madonna 'disturb the peace':She shares her 'Matrix' regret in wild Jimmy Fallon interview
Jimmy Fallon's ultimate guide to New York: From pizza to bagels to bathrooms
Question: How did the idea for "That's My Jam" come about?
Jimmy Fallon: With COVID and everything, this got pushed back. This idea is probably three years in the making, and we based it off of the musical games we play on "The Tonight Show," but with a more prime-time budget, and the best guests we can book.
Q: Why did you want to host, rather than just produce?
Fallon: I just knew what the show was. I had a vision of it, and I thought it'd be faster and more efficient if I just hosted it. "I know where this is going to go, and I've done these games on 'The Tonight Show,' and I think it would be more efficient if I just hosted it." Who knows if I'll host the next season, but just to kick it off. I also have the relationships with all these guests. So I thought that would be the smartest move.
Q: Which game is the most fun for you? What do you find the most entertaining?
Fallon: Watching the "Wheel of Impossible Karaoke" and watching these celebrities do weird versions of songs where they get to actually perform and sing. I'm a fan of any musical performance, so when they get to sing in front of this awesome band, Adam Blackstone's band ... (it's) like karaoke at the greatest level.
'Just awful':Kenny G revisits first music video, going rogue on 'The Tonight Show'
'Insecure' finale recap:Issa, Molly and friends find out whether 'Everything Gonna Be, Okay?!'
Q: Which games torment the guests the most?
Fallon: Ariana (Grande)'s wig blew off (during 'Air Guitar'). We make everyone wear wigs, and this little wig she had blew off, and it was loud and she actually said, "What is going on? Is this a thing?" I love that question: "Is this a thing?" Like, "Is this a thing you do to people? What is this?" It really made me laugh. "Is this a thing?" I go, "Yeah, it's a thing. This is the game."
Guests can know that everything's safe. They can know that they won't look bad, even as bad as they think they'll look. They'll be soaking wet, they'll have stuff dumped on them, we'll change the music so that their voice is out of tune – whatever we do. But it's all in fun and games, and that's really the whole point of the game is just to have fun.
Q: Who are your dream guests?
Fallon: There's always (Justin) Timberlake, in my back pocket, ready to call. Tina Fey would be great, Amy Poehler, Adele. They're all fun. I've done bits with all of these people on ("The Tonight Show"). Madonna would be great. Now that people know what the show is, it's kind of easier, people go, "OK, I can do that."
Q: Your "Tonight Show" contract was recently renewed (for five years in May). Have you thought about how much longer you would like to stay?
Fallon: We're doing well in the ratings. People are interested in our show. So as long as we keep people interested. I love doing it. I'm still interested in people, and I'm interested in entertaining. I love my job, and I love the people I work with. I think I'm here for the long haul.

Egalitarianism and international investment
Schwartz S., Licht A., Siegel J. Journal of Financial Economics. 2011. Vol. 102. No. 3. P. 621-642.
This study identifies how country differences on a key cultural dimension—egalitarianism— influence the direction of different types of international investment flows. A society's cultural orientation toward egalitarianism is manifested by intolerance for abuses of market and political power and a desire for protecting the weak and less powerful actors. We show egalitarianism to be based on exogenous factors including social fractionalization, dominant religion circa 1900, and war experience from the 19th century era of state formation. Controlling for a large set of competing explanations, we find a robust influence of egalitarianism distance on cross-national investment flows of bond and equity issuances, syndicated loans, and mergers and acquisitions. An informal cultural institution largely determined a century or more ago, egalitarianism exercises its effect on international investment via an associated set of consistent contemporary policy choices. But even after controlling for these associated policy choices, egalitarianism continues to exercise a direct effect on cross-border investment flows, likely through its direct influence on managers' daily business conduct.

Russian media are often accused of succumbing to state pressure (or of being an instrument of such pressure) , subordinating to power and, by implication, of being excessively dependent on state financing . In this contribution we are trying to systematically understand and analyze how the Russian state, in its post-Soviet incarnation, incorporates (or envisions incorporation of) the media into the national system of public institutions, and indeed how the state develops and implements public policy in respect of Russian media, are much more rare. Such analysis is, of course, complicated by the dual nature of media in Russia and in many other countries – on the one hand, as a branch of the economy and a market player among many, and on the other hand a purveyor of information, interpreter of cultural codes, and provider of public goods .

Л.Н. Толстой: Просветитель, преодолевший Просвещение

The article considers the Views of L. N. Tolstoy not only as a representative, but also as a accomplisher of the Enlightenment. A comparison of his philosophy with the ideas of Spinoza and Diderot made it possible to clarify some aspects of the transition to the unique Tolstoy's religious and philosophical doctrine. The comparison of General and specific features of the three philosophers was subjected to a special analysis. Special attention is paid to the way of thinking, the relation to science and the specifics of the worldview by Tolstoy and Diderot. An important aspect is researched the contradiction between the way of thinking and the way of life of the three philosophers.
Tolstoy's transition from rational perception of life to its religious and existential bases is shown. Tolstoy gradually moves away from the idea of a natural man to the idea of a man, who living the commandments of Christ. Starting from the educational worldview, Tolstoy ended by creation of religious and philosophical doctrine, which were relevant for the 20th century.

The Irony of Heidegger
Haas A. L.; NY: Continuum, 2007.
This important new book offers the first full-length interpretation of the thought of Martin Heidegger with respect to irony. In a radical reading of Heidegger's major works (from Being and Time through the 'Rector's Address' and the 'Letter on Humanism' to 'The Origin of the Work of Art' and the Spiegel interview), Andrew Haas does not claim that Heidegger is simply being ironic. Rather he argues that Heidegger's writings make such an interpretation possible - perhaps even necessary.
Heidegger begins Being and Time with a quote from Plato, a thinker famous for his insistence upon Socratic irony. The Irony of Heidegger takes seriously the apparently curious decision to introduce the threat of irony even as philosophy begins in earnest to raise the question of the meaning of being. Through a detailed and thorough reading of Heidegger's major texts and the fundamental questions they raise, Haas reveals that one of the most important philosophers of the 20th century can be read with as much irony as earnestness. The Irony of Heidegger attempts to show that the essence of this irony lies in uncertainty, and that the entire project of onto-heno-chrono-phenomenology, therefore needs to be called into question.

Национални парк Фрушка гора се налази у Војводини, у Србији, недалеко од Новог Сада. Године 1960. је проглашен националним парком.

Највиши врх је Црвени Чот (539 m), а најзначајнији туристички центар Иришки венац. Пружа се дуж десне обале Дунава, дуга 78, а широка 15 km. Стварање планине почело је у мезозоику, пре 90 милиона година; научници је називају "огледало геолошке прошлости". На њој су пронађене 164 животињске фосилне врсте, старе око 123 милиона година. Флору Фрушке горе чини око 1500 биљних врста.

Фрушка гора богата је шумама храста, граба, букве, липе и другог дрвећа, са заштићених преко 50 биљних врста.

На планини постоји и више археолошких налазишта (неолит, бакарно, бронзано и римско доба), као и стари фрушкогорски манастири (укупно 17), настали од краја 15. до 18. века, познати по специфичној архитектури, богатим ризницама, библиотекама и фрескама. Средиште управе Националног парка је у Сремској Каменици.

Назив
Назив националног парка потиче од назива истоимене планине, а сам назив Фрушка гора носи у свом придевском облику етноним "Фруг" у значењу Франак (Франачка држава се крајем 8. и почетком 9. века простирала све до наших крајева), те на тај начин име ове планине чува успомену на стање из давних времена.

Географија
Парк чини усамљена острвска планина у Панонској низији. Према југу и северу Фрушка гора је јако разуђена планинским и речним токовима, при чему се од главног уског гребена пружају појединачни, бочни гребени, најчешће са врло стрмим падинама. Северна падина Фрушке горе је стрмија у односу на јужну, услед подсецања Дунава. Такође, лесна зараван која окружује Фрушку гору, мање је ширине и моћности на северној страни, услед поменутих прилика.

Врхови
На Фрушкој гори постоји девет врхова који прелазе надморску висину од 500 метара:
 Црвени чот (539 -{m}-)
 Павласов чот (531 -{m}-)
 Исин чот (522 -{m}-)
 Иришки венац - ТВ торањ (516 -{m}-)
 Црвена кречана (512 -{m}-)
 Иришки венац - споменик (509 -{m}-)
 Лединачки црни чот (507 -{m}-)
 Краљева столица (502 -{m}-)
 Плетена анта (500 -{m}-)

Географско-туристички положај
Национални парк Фрушка гора има повољан туристичко-географски положај. Преко Новог Сада и Београда је саобраћајно добро повезан путним правцима: Нови Сад-Београд, Нови Сад-Рума-Шабац, Нови Сад-Бачка Паланка-Илок-Шид, Нови Сад-Београд-Нештин-Илок, и неколико саобраћајница нижег реда које попречено пресецају планину. На свим путним правцима постоје, углавном сталне аутобуске линије. Што се тиче железничког саобраћаја, постоји железничка пруга Суботица-Нови Сад-Београд, која се од Београда рачва према Нишу и Бару. Аутобуска и железничка станица у Новом Саду удаљена је од Фрушке горе 15 km, а од Београда 50 km. Аеродром Сурчин (Београд) налази се на 55 km од Националног парка.

Пашњаци и плодно земљиште, виногради и воћњаци, украшавају падине и ниже делове Фрушке горе, док су површине које се налазе висинама изнад 300 метара надморске висине покривене густим, листопадним шумама.
