Sacred Heart University President Gilberto J. Marxuach-Torrós.
Sacred Heart University, through its "Nuestro Barrio" program, received a $95,000 contribution to create the first Innovation Seed Fund to support the sustainability and innovation of 16 small and medium enterprises in Santurce, the university's President Gilberto J. Marxuach-Torrós announced.
The donation is made possible by a contribution from the Center for the New Economy's Puerto Rico Recovery Fund, with the support of The New York Community Trust, The Puerto Rico Relief and Rebuilding Fund for the Partnership for NYC, and the Ford Foundation, which donated $75,000, and Boston Foundation, which contributed $20,000, for a total of $95,000 between the two entities.
"Sacred Heart strengthens its mission of service and social responsibility to its community through the 'Nuestro Barrio' community initiative, Marxuach-Torrós said. "We thank the Center for the New Economy and Boston Foundation for the support and confidence they placed in us and for believing in entrepreneurship as an engine for economic development for Santurce and Puerto Rico."
CNE Executive Director Nuria Y. Ortiz said this initiative to help Santurce-based companies joins other efforts through which ReActiva provided cash assistance to more than 20 small business in Old San Juan to ensure the business continuity in the weeks after Hurricane María.
Of the 16 companies chosen to receive monetary assistance from the Fund, four are led by Sacred Heart students and provide various services ranging from cultural, tourism, welfare and food, as well as media content, art and technology.
These companies are Happy Potts, Markeholics, Santurce State of Mind (SSom), MC Cono Ice Cream, Tonos Entertainment, Resilience Journal, Picaflor Entertainment, Y No Había Luz, ACE Media, MECA, Sacred Heart Residents Association, RM Studio, Ismael Rivera Foundation, Integral Welfare, Cuadrado Gris and Diagonal.
"Through this initiative we seek to create opportunities for sustainable economic development solutions for artists and members of the community, while addressing critical issues related to quality of life in Santurce, one of the most emblematic districts of the capital," said Javier De Jesús-Martínez, director of the Center for Innovation Collaboration-Neeuko at Sacred Heart University.
A comprehensive evaluation by a multidisciplinary committee was held to select businesses and distribute a total of $70,000 among the 16 selected to inject new economic, cultural and community activity to the neighborhood, he said.
Moreover, thanks to the economic contribution from the Puerto Rico Recovery Fund, companies will have access to co-working space, project management, consulting, and mentoring, and will participate in two training programs designed to strengthen their competencies and skills in entrepreneurship and innovation.
The first program will be the SEP-Sustainable Enterpreurship Program, aimed at the integration of the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals, as part of their business management practices.
The second program will be the IVRP-Innovation, Validation and Research Program, aimed at strengthening and developing skills and competencies in the development of metrics, processes and methodologies to support the viability of innovations and business proposals.

An honest broker is an entity that keeps sets of private information but distributes parts of those sets to other entities who should not have access to the entire set. Honest brokers often work in clinical research with biological specimens; in that case, donors of specimens allow researchers to do research on those specimens, but typically want their specimen de-identified by having protected health information separated from it. The honest broker would keep both the specimen and associated protected health information, but only allow researchers to have access to the specimen without the protected health information.

Characteristics
Honest brokers are typically appointed to a research project by an institutional review board. They provide data from clinical and research sources for research use only and in accordance with policies that prohibit re-identification.

Organizations conducting breast cancer research have identified access to biological specimens as a top priority, and therefore honest broker systems are key to research because they increase access to specimens.

Diplomacy
In diplomacy an "honest broker" is an entity (individual or organisation) that is accepted by all sides in a negotiation as impartial. Neutrality does not equal an absence of interest; rather, the interest of the honest broker lies in a solution, without preference for either party involved in the conflict.

German Chancellor Otto von Bismarck was the first to use the term (applied to himself) in connection with the 1878 Congress of Berlin.

Lektüren mit mittlerem Schwierigkeitsgrad, 3. Gemeinsam mit dem Wanderarbeiter Billy Dare und dessen Hund Rusty reist er durch das Land und erlebt viele Abenteuer. Murray has lived in France, Wales and North America and her current home is in Melbourne Australia. He strikes up an unexpected friendship with Billy Dare and his dog Rusty, and together they travel from the goldfields of Kalgoorlie to the rugged north. She lives in Melbourne in a big old ramshackle house with an overgrown garden with her husband, the puppeteer Ken Harper, and hundreds of puppets.
Starting in the 1840s and ending in present-day Australia, the Children of the Wind quartet tells the stories of four courageous young people, Bridie, Billy, Colm and Maeve, born fifty years apart. This much acclaimed series is an outstanding example of historical fiction — exploring an era with accuracy yet with a story which young people will relate to their own lives. Her works are studied at La Trobe University in the children's literature genre. This action packed story, set in the 1950s, continues the richly detailed historical quartet that began with Bridie's Fire and Becoming Billy Dare. I honestly could not stop reading and quickly devoured the preceding books in the quartet, too.
Kirsty Murray is an author of nineteen books for young people. She creates boys so believable you want to save them. I've not read the other books in the Children of the Wind series, of which A Prayer for Blue Delaney is the third title, but this didn't matter, as the book is self-contained, even though characters from the other books play major roles. Many suffered unspeakable hardship and cruelty. This writer is able to paint vividly the settings and visual landscapes, and the emotional experiences of the characters, particularly Colm.
Colm is on the run, determined to escape from the cruelties of Bindoon Boys' Home. Informationen zur Titelgruppe: Die 50er Jahre, Australien: Das Waisenkind Colm schafft es, aus dem Heim auszubrechen. You can find me all over the internet. She has also written several non-fiction books for children. Many suffered unspeakable hardship and cruelty. Whether they're working along the Dog Fence, eluding the police or confronting a wild boar, they're a team.
When Bill's life is at risk, it's up to Colm to go in search of the mysterious Blue Delaney and lay to rest the ghosts that haunt them both. Her tribe of grown up-kids live all around the world so she travels a lot to catch up with them. The history included in this book is well-researched and woven into the story beautifully, as are the descriptions of Outback Australia, but acted more as a taster or jumping-off point for 1950s Australian history. Product Description A Prayer for Blue Delaney follows the outback adventures of orphaned Colm, who runs away from the cruelties of Bindoon Boys' Home and goes in search of a family of his own. Whether they're working along the Dog Fence, eluding the police or confronting a wild boar, they're a team. When Bill's life is at risk, it's up to Colm to go in search of the mysterious Blue Delaney and lay to rest the ghosts that haunt them both. The central character from each book becomes a mentor to the child in the next.
In fact, enough of those characters' backstories is given to entice the reader to track down the other titles. That is, if you don't mind an old man, a dog and a few ghosts for company. This is quality literature for children —vivid characters, good pace and well written —highly recommended for anyone that enjoys a good story!

Colm is placed in an orphanage by his mother when he's five, and is convinced she'll come back to get him. Click on the cover image above to read some pages of this book! What he finds instead is a new life, in the company of Billy Dare and his dog Rusty. Murray has lived in France, Wales and North America and her current home is in Melbourne Australia. My son 13 is an avid Murray fan but I had never read her before. They were sent to institutions all over the country. She has also written several non-fiction books for children.
A Prayer for Blue Delaney is also available in that is widely used in secondary schools in Germany. You can find me all over the internet. She has been a Creative Fellow of the State Library of Victoria, an Asialink Literature Resident in South India and writer-in-residence at the University of Himachal Pradesh. That is, if you don't mind an old man, a dog and a few ghosts for company. My son 13 is an avid Murray fan but I had never read her before.
This much acclaimed series is an outstanding example of historical fiction — exploring an era with accuracy yet with a story which young people will relate to their own lives. I recommend this book for people in the early years of high school right up to the age when you start losing your sight; it really is a good read and when you get into it, it is very hard to put down. They were sent to institutions all over the country. There are families that want boys like you, families with farms where they have their own milk and cream with breakfast every day.

Q: Connections to SSH and Samba suffer from heavy delay There are a lot of questions about SSH connections being delayed, which usually can be fixed by disabling the DNS lookups. Unfortunately this doesn't seem to be my problem.
Our development server is accessed via SSH and Samba. When opening a connection to the server (either SSH or Samba) it takes a very long time. Accessing a Samba share via Windows is basically impossible because there is a timeout. Using smbclient works, but takes ages. When opening a SSH connection I get immediately prompted for the password and after hitting Enter the terminal instantly shows the MOTD. Afterwards it takes about a minute for the prompt to appear.
I watched the load of the server while connecting via SSH and Samba and could not find anything out of order. There is nothing out of the ordinary running and hogging up memory and CPU or something. I have no clue where this delay might come from. I already tried UseDNS no in sshd_config and proxy_dns = no in smb.conf, but to no avail.
Any idea about what might cause this would be greatly appreciated!
Update: I'm sorry to say so, but I have been away for some weeks now and in the meantime the servers in question have been replaced by other newer systems which so far didn't present the same problems. Unfortunately this leaves me with no possibility to check any of the suggestions made here, but I'm grateful for your help nonetheless!

A: It is possible you have a disk problem. Check out the wa (iowait) stats in top, or install iotop, and/or check your disks in the normal way.
To get some sensible debugging info out of sshd, simply set the Loglevel to something like DEGUG2 in /etc/ssh/sshd_config and then tail -f /var/log/auth.log to see what is happening on a client connection.

A: Maybe its a problem related to the entropy in the system. Headless servers lack from inputs to generate enough random and sometimes it delays ssh connections.
Check the number in /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail often and if its almost always below 150-200 try to install any like haveged or rng-tools

Is just a Telephone Engineer Needed When Diagnosing a Problem?
When the phone range goes dead lots of people worry and call their company straight away but this will come out to be an expensive mistake. Some flaws may be due to equipment and extensions within the house that are not covered by the support provider.
Most houses in the telephone engineer hereford use a master outlet referred to as an NTE5 which has a removable front plate that may be removed by getting out 2 small screws. By removing this top plate, assuming the home has been wired to normal, you will undoubtedly be disconnecting all internal telephone extensions. The rest of the part of the master socket or NTE5 today features a check plug in underneath proper give place to be used to try the incoming line.
Are You Getting A Dialling Tone?
The next step would be to take a phone that you know is functioning, preferably one that does not require mains energy, and select it into the test outlet and listen for a dialling tone. If there is number dialling tone at this check outlet then your fault is very probably be in the additional network and all perform to repair the fault can be moved out by the supplier without any charge.
If you have a dialling tone at the test outlet and the tone vanishes when leading dish is reinstated then there's a fault on the interior wiring or equipment. The next phase is always to disconnect from phone sockets any equipment/modems/telephones in the house. If there is still number dialling tone then there should be a problem on the inner wiring within the house.
To fix this sort of fault, the easiest way ahead is to acquire a experienced telephone engineer to the property. That can be done during your service provider but will be expensive with any work on the internal wiring beginning around £200. Another choice is to make contact with a reliable engineer in the area press or via the Net, ideally an ex BT manufacture who is able to offer the abilities necessary for much less cost.
Many people continue to be beneath the premise that only BT Phone Technicians are allowed to work with internal/external phone defects and will only contact them out. Though this really is true about the additional (any telephone wires outside the property), it's incorrect of the cables within the home.
It could be smart to bear in mind that there are always a large amount of Ex BT Designers that work for themselves and calling them out is obviously around 50% cheaper than BT themselves and the job is moved out to the exact same standards.

Thank you for spending you precious time reading these lines about my activity as a player. Instead of making a cold and lifeless list of all the places where I played I would love to share with you some impression connected with my career, which last now almost 35 years.
I started to play concerts very early (I guess in that time in the Conservatory one did not teach Music History yet) and to tell you the truth my very first one did not pre-announce anything good for my later career…I played it namely near Napoli the same day when my favorite football team lost 4-0 just against the partenopeo's…in spite of this unambigous nefarious signal (and the unavoidable supporter-depression) I manage yet to play a nice concert. My football team won later 2 championships (one during I was playing a concert in Luxembourg) and I carried on playing, hopefully, nice concert until now.
During all these years I had the possibility, besides my solo career, to work with wonderful friends and colleagues. Among many of them I would like to mention, in alphabetical order, the names of Duo Kaltchev, Tilman Hoppstock and Thomas Mueller Pehring, playing chamber music in the most possible thinkable formations. With a guitar quartet composed of students of the Conservatorio di Santa Cecilia (where I have been studying 5 years) I had the joy to work during 10 years cheek by jowl with the foremost italian composers of than (who dedicated to us many of their compositions) and to play in very prestigious places.
My dream anyway, as a young player, was to play in my personal 'Big Slam' of the concert halls. I managed to play in three of them: the Berliner Philharmonie, the big Hall of the 'P.I.Tchaikowsky' Conservatory in Moscow and the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam. As you see one is still missing, but I am still young and do not give up! (you allow me please not to hint you the name of it, italian superstition…).
Carlo looking for an octave flageolette..
I consider myself thus a lucky man. During all these years I had the possibility to play in innumerable countries, enriching me as person and as a musician as well. I think for instance to the emotion to play in Vienna in the same hall where Beethoven 'tried out' the Eroica on the piano for a group of friends, or, in the same wonderful city, to the concert at the Conservatory, while I was one hour before it still in front of the table on which Mozart wrote Le Nozze di Figaro, or to my concert for the people of a Steiner village in middle England…Those are the priceless emotions which belong to a musician. Therefore each concert, no matter where it the places, is for me a gift of life.
Thank you so much for your attention, I hope you enjoy further my web-site (and my concerts!).

Thaddeus betrayed his own people, killing Nik's father and destroying their entire clan. But he wants more. He wants the power he believes Mari has stolen from him and his people and he will do anything he must to get them back, even if it means destroying everything in his path. There is only way to stop Thaddeus, but it means a harrowing journey for Mari and Nik into the heart of darkness. Meanwhile, Dead Eye becomes a willing vessel for the newly awakened god, Death. Death has plans of his own and he, too, will use whatever and whomever he must, including the mad Thaddeus.

Q: Using DotNet framework to create Excel files in Dynamics AX I want to create an Excel file in batch job, I tried to use SysExcelApplication class but it doesn't work in batch job, I also had problems with winAPIServer::fileExist/::FileDelete class, i found solution by using System.IO.file::exist/Delete(filename)
Here's my code in X++:
SysExcelApplication   xlsapplication;
;
xlsApplication = SysExcelApplication::construct();

xlsWorkBookCollection    = xlsApplication.workbooks();
xlsWorkBook              = xlsWorkBookCollection.add();
xlsWorkSheetCollection   = xlsWorkBook.worksheets();
xlsWorkSheet             = xlsWorkSheetCollection.itemFromNum(1);

I got an error on SysExcelApplication::construct(); when running batch job(can execute on server side), how can I do the same with dotnet?

A: There are a couple of options that you have:

*

*You can use XML and XSLT to do it. I have put an article on my blog once
that simply takes a simple XML and transforms it to fit into a saved Excel file (in XML format) This can be a good solution since writing XML files from Dynamics Ax is quite easy. The article shows how to create an XML with items and shows how to get it into Excel. Using C#, XML and XSLT to create an Excel spreadsheet

*You could use OpenXML (Using C# and OpenXML SDK)

*And there is also an option to use third party controls created to do
this (Infragistics Excel for example)

The course is laid out on a hilly sheep-faming, craggy land with on volcanic terrain. This is the first Jack Nicklaus designed course in New Zealand and it differs from typical Nicklaus designs. The course is extremely intimidating visually from the tees with shaggy-looking bunkers and long heath grasses throughout on roughs but when you are in the actual fairways it will turn out there are much more room than it appears. The fairways, semi-roughs and roughs are clearly separated, so you must pay penalties on your errant shots. The entire course is undulating with overlapping numerous moguls, which looks sometimes nasty but looks always picturesque. Multiple undulations are set on every green and finding out good putting lines is not easy. The course is suitable for good players who can hit balls straight because the course is long with strategically placed bunkers and roughs. The front 9 has aura of a raw links, somehow blended seamlessly into age-old sheep-farming territory while the back 9 offer panoramic views over majestic Lake Taupo, the biggest lake in New Zealand.
A par 3 over water. The green is wide and the front sides faces the water.
A dogleg to the left, downhill but very long par 4. 2 bunkers on the left corner are reachable 275 yards off the tee. Long hitters can drive onto downhill lies making approach shots more difficult. A bunker guarding the front side of the green is deep. The green is wide and slopes from left to right.
A dogleg to the left, relatively short par 4. The bunker on the left comer is reachable 250 yards off the tee. Placing the tee shot to the right half of the fairway will offer you better view of the green on the second shot. The green is deep.
A par 3 over Fescue grass. The green is slightly elevated and guarded by 4 bunkers. A large fairway is placed in front of the bunkers and the green, making approach easier for tee shots short. This green is larger than it appears from the tee.
A double dogleg, great hole, to the left first then to the right. Several fairway bunkers left & right 240 -300 yards off the tee are in play. A two fairway option left & right is provided on the second shot. The green is double-tiered.
A dogleg to the left, difficult hole. The further you drive, the fairway will narrow beyond 250 yards off the tee. The second shot is uphill. The green is wide.
A slightly downhill, sharp dogleg to the right. You should aim left off the tee as the fairway slopes from left to right. You hit toward Lake Taupo on the second shot. A left to right shot is ideal on the second shot if you are attempting to go for the green is 2 as there is a large bunker with rough bordering the entire left side of the green.
A very long, slightly downhill par 3 over bush. The green is deep and narrow with a sharp drop-off on the left. The green slopes down for first 30 yards and up for the next 10 yards. The view of Lake Taupo beyond the green is excellent.
A downhill par 3 whose green is surrounded by rough. The green is elevated and borders a bunker on the left. Anything short or left makes par difficult. Lake Taupo can be seen beyond the green.
A double dogleg to the right and then to the left around a pond. Water on the left comers into play on the second & third shots. Long hitters can reach the green in 2 but both shots require distance and accuracy. The tee shot must drive onto the narrow fairway between bunkers left & right. Then, on the second shot anything short or left will end up with the water.
It is a 3 hours & half drive from Auckland, a 20 minutes drive from Taupo and a 30-minutes drive from Taupo Airport. I saw a helicopter to come to this club. The distances are in meters, so I have converted them into yards. Players with official handicap of 9 or below can use the longest tees, but it is very demanding to play from them.
We were told to use fairways, not roughs, to drive a golf cart. Many courses force us not to drive on fairways but on roughs, but this course is the other way around, which is unique. They like to leave the roughs as naturally as possible.
It was ranked 3rd in the top 25 courses in New Zealand in 2010 by a panel of NZPGA Professionals and Golf Travel operators.
The course is not is a list of US Golf Digest Magazine's Top 100 Courses in the World but is selected on the 98th out of Top 100 Golf Course of the World by an independent golf organization in UK.
The other Jack Nicklaus designed courses in neighboring Australia are The Australian GC, The Heritage G&CC, Lakelands GC and Rothbury GR.


HAMPTON, Ga. – Daytona 500 winner Denny Hamlin spun his No. 11 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota during Friday's first NASCAR Sprint Cup Series practice at Atlanta Motor Speedway, but the loss of control wasn't attributable to the lower-downforce competition package making its 2016 debut this weekend.
Rather, Hamlin blamed the line he oftens runs during the Sprint Cup races.
"I tend to use probably a little bit more of the apron," explained Hamlin, who was 23rd fastest in the opening session. "Me and Kevin (Harvick) seem to use the apron a lot to make our cars go around the corner and I just – I felt like I got on the apron a little bit too much, and that just de-wedges the car a lot, and that's when it spun the car out.
Kyle Larson paced the opening session with a lap at 192.902 mph, followed by Kasey Kahne (191.807 mph) and AJ Allmendinger (190.975 mph).
Hamlin later qualified 12th for Sunday's race.

Grave Thoughts Indeed
To take a stroll through the Alter Südfriedhof cemetery in Munich is to revisit its history. Pestilence and death, war, aristocratic scandals – even the Oktoberfest are all written into the epitaphs of people who shaped the city. It feels like the who's who of Bavaria are all buried in this one spot (though by no means all of them are). In this four-part series – yes, four – I will reveal some of the most intriguing stories behind the stones. The history of the cemetery, as you will see, reflects the history of both the city and society at large.
Part 1 – Pestilence and death
A cemetery might seem like an odd place to take a stroll, but the Alter Südfriedhof in Munich is no ordinary cemetery. Its title translates as "old south cemetery" and was founded in 1563 when the cemeteries inside the city filled up from the epidemics that regularly raged here. Now closed for business but open to visitors, it is more of an open-air museum whose tombstones range from grandiose monuments of red marble and granite crowned with angels, to stubby, rain-worn stone stumps washed bare of any indication of their owner. The old-growth trees towering above lend the cemetery the aura of a park. A park with lots of dead bodies in the ground, but a park nonetheless.
All restaurants and cafés in Germany have been closed for months. On this unseasonably balmy February day, the benches and paths are full of people having lunch or just enjoying the opportunity to meet up under lockdown. I pass a teacher pulling a giant wagon full of toddlers from the preschool located just outside the grounds. Red and gray squirrels zigzag across the path and scamper up and down tombstones, digging up nuts from the ground between. High above in a tree, a woodpecker plies his trade.
Strolling slowly down the paths that crisscross the cemetery, I see crocuses sprouting everywhere between the graves in silent defiance of the decay that the tombstones represent. But what about the people whose lives have already run their course? What are their stories?
Cholera and the queen
How ironic that the coronavirus would inspire me to walk here, the final resting place of Max von Pettenkofer, who recognized the causes of pandemics and launched an initiative to eradicate them. He was responsible for two distinctly unsexy but crucial elements of modern life: a public water supply and a sewage system. A well-known hygienist and chemist in 19th century Munich, Pettenkofer was one of the first to understand the link between poor sanitation and disease.

Pettenkofer campaigned for years for the establishment of a public water supply and wastewater system. Like all cities of its time, Munich was visited regularly by epidemics of communicable diseases such as tuberculosis, typhus and cholera. Pettenkofer was also a contemporary of Robert Koch, whose namesake institute has become a household word in Germany due to its central advisory role to the government in the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. In a bout of depression, Pettenkofer committed suicide in 1901.
It was a cholera outbreak that finally convinced the civic authorities to invest in a proper water supply to replace the hand-pumped water from scattered wells and to install the world's first proper sewage system. The beloved Queen Therese of Bavaria was one of the 3,000 victims of the cholera epidemic of 1854. Therese was a highly educated woman and author of several books based on expeditions she undertook to South America and was the wife of King Ludwig I of Bavaria (not to be confused with his grandson, Ludwig II, who as the builder of Neuschwanstein and many other castles was an extravagant waster of tax money – but which later paid off handsomely in tourist income). King Ludwig I also left an imprint of a different kind on the cemetery – but more about that in a later article.

The Black death
How appropriate, too, that I should be walking here during a pandemic, a cemetery first founded as a final resting place for victims of the most famous of pandemics – the Black Death. The fact that it is just a five-minute walk outside the old city walls is no coincidence. Plague victims are just like the rats that carry the disease: if you leave them all in one place, they tend to multiply at an alarming rate. Although one would imagine any rate is alarming where the plague is concerned. Besides, the city cemeteries had already been filled by the dead from the last epidemic. Between 1634 and 1635, a total of 15,000 victims of the Black Death were buried here. In those days they were put in mass graves, wrapped in a shroud with no coffin. The gravestones of today came much later.
What used to be outside the city walls is now embedded in its very heart, as its walls have long since made way for the Altstadtring, the ring road that replaced the route of the wall, outlining the limits of the traditional medieval town. Only two gates are left, Sendlinger Tor and Isartor. These were named after where the road would take you if you left town through that gate. Sendlinger Tor would take you to Sendling, a town just 2.5 kilometers down the road, now incorporated into Munich; Isartor would take you to the Isar River just steps away.
One tombstone catches my eye that marks the final resting place not just of a married couple, but also of their three children. This would not be particularly remarkable as a family grave as such, but this one is different. One child died at age five, another at two and the last one died at just five months of age. The family was well off enough to afford to be buried with a fine, granite tombstone, but no amount of money could save their small children from early deaths. This was also part of life as late as the 19th century, when this tomb was dated.
It makes me feel fortunate. While many people today are suffering from the coronavirus, reading these epitaphs reminds me that dealing with a lockdown may be inconvenient, but there is a vaccine on the way. The high infant and maternal mortality of previous centuries is a thing of the past in the Western world, thanks to modern medicine. I guess I can deal with not going to restaurants and staying home for a few months.
Coming up next: War shaped the cemetery, but not with fallen soldiers.

Lovely post, thanks for bringit up the history to this amazing place. I go there everytime I get the chance,it's such a calm place. I also like the Waldfriedhof, which is huge and the graves are scattered around the forrest. Really beautiful.
Thanks, Kate! It's true, there are several beautiful, historic cemeteries in Munich. A friend recently shared with me that he used to live near the Nordfriedhof, where they actually celebrate children's birthday parties!

TOKYO (AFP) - A white tiger attacked and killed a zookeeper in its enclosure in southern Japan, officials said Tuesday (Oct 9).
"A zookeeper was found collapsed in a cage, bleeding," a local police official told AFP, adding the man was taken to hospital where he was pronounced dead.
The attack happened late Monday at the Hirakawa Zoological Park in the southern city of Kagoshima.
Akira Furusho, 40, was discovered bleeding from the neck and officials believe he was mauled by one of the zoo's four rare white tigers, media reports said.
The zoo said the tiger was sedated with a tranquiliser gun after the attack, as rescue workers and police rushed to the scene.


I couldn't find any proof that Andrew Garfield was set to reprise Christian Bale's role in the 2006 film The Prestige, but he sure looks like he borrowed one of Bale's character's disguises from the movie. Of course, he might just be sneaking into shows to steal acts from more successful magicians.

110 to Zorba
A musical theatre journey on Apple Music
If you've been reading this, or you've basically met me, you probably know that I love Rodgers and Hammerstein so much, and have since I started getting interested in theatre. Honestly, it might have been Carousel's music that made me love them.
I've needed to think about this for a long time to write anything about this show. WE ALL KNOW THE "BIG PROBLEM" THAT CAROUSEL HAS. Especially in this day and age, how can the actor playing Julie say, "It is possible dear, for someone to hit you, hit you hard, and it not hurt at all" and not be presented with the dilemma of this line?? God, even in 1945 I bet it was hard to do. They talk about it throughout the entire show: how horrible it was that Billy hit Julie. Even the antagonistic characters condemn him for it. So, everyone is saying how awful it is, including R&H, including me.
Now, this was not R&H's battle, as this musical was adapted closely from the play "Liliom," which would have been VERY fresh in theatre-goers minds. I suppose it's the equivalent to adapting 9 to 5 (or any of the hit movies from the 1980s turned musical) today. Everyone already knew the story. It wouldn't have been as shocking for them that he hit her. That she forgave him for it. They already knew.
But, look, it's there. It's there in today's world. I had thought about sub-titling this post "Carousel: a 2 hour sit down where I try to justify Billy Bigelow's spousal abuse." No one can JUSTIFY it; it's unforgiven... except to Julie.
And there's the thing.
I think Julie Jordan is thought of as this pure, innocent girl who gets mixed up with this ne'er-do-well and then he hits her, gets her pregnant, kills himself, and then comes back as a GHOST and slaps her daughter. Julie is not stupid. She's not like that border-line handicapped girl, Lili from Carnival! -- she KNOWS what she is doing. I feel like if we were to re-adapt this play to modern times, Julie would be like... almost goth (When I think of modern day Julie Jordan, she is very close to Aubrey Plaza). She's certainly unhappy. She's so cool with giving up her previous life that she just quits her job (it seems like they say she was fired... but it was her choice not to go back to the mill) to be with Billy. It is established as love at first sight in the very first scene of the play. Julie is not a push over. She does what she wants. She says no to Billy and anyone else (that's his reasoning behind hitting her -- they argued, he got carried away. What kind of woman was pushing back against her husband in the 1870s? Not a shy, innocent one, that's for sure). She isn't afraid of anyone. She stands up to Billy, stands up to his boss, Mrs. Mullin. She talks about how bored she is at her job; how unfulfilled it makes her. JULIE AND BILLY ARE THE SAME.... they're just... in a different time period and women acted different. They are the Kate and Petruchio of musical theatre, Julie just doesn't have the same temperament as Kate.
And since I mentioned Kate and Petruchio, it's well known, if you read The Taming of the Shrew, that the real shrew is Bianca, and she and Lucentio will end up with the bad marriage, not Kate and Petruchio. The same can be said of Carrie and Mr. Snow. On the surface Mr. Snow is a "upstanding man," but you start to see his true colors even before they are married (at the clam bake, god even on the WAY to the clam bake) and certainly when he's so horrible to Louise and encourages his children to be horrible (to the daughter of his wife's BEST FRIEND!) as well. I mean, he also forces her to have 9 children, which she is clearly uncomfortable with. All of this and more, still under the guise that he is a fine, respectable man. At least with Billy, he wears his flaws on the outside, so you know what you're going to get. Julie obviously knew.
"If I Love You" (one of Oscar Hammerstein's finest inventions: the conditional love ballad) is probably my favorite song in the R&H cannon, and one of the best songs ever written by anyone, ever. However, it's "Soliloquy" that gets me every single time. I knew when I was 14 years old how special that song was. I mean.. what the actual fuck. Apparently Richard Rodgers wrote the music in 2 hours because he was so moved by the words Hammerstein had written. I wish I could be a male baritone for 3 hours, just to work through this song a few times with a vocal coach. You, of course, see glimpses of Billy's soul in smaller moments, but it isn't until he finds out he's going to be a father that he really bears it... to us. The audience. And no one else. Billy can't show emotion to the other characters. He doesn't know how to do it and stay himself. I guess that's the problem with being a dude in the past: you were definitely not encouraged to have feelings. "Soliloquy" is the finest song for men in the theatre, and possibly the finest song, period.
Look, there is probably so much out there that is written about these characters. There's so much more I COULD say. Carousel is basically Shakespearean, and certainly as close as any non-Sondheim musical theatre writer ever got. I love this musical. Richard Rodgers got so much right musically in this and Hammerstein.... just... jesus. These characters are DEEP. The stakes are REAL. My god, you know from the first scene that your protagonist is a bad guy. Besides Pal Joey, when had that been done??
Oh, also, I can't end this without talking about Louise (Julie and Billy's daughter). I love her so much. She is my favorite character in this play, because she fucking says what she needs to say. Hell yeah she's sad. OF COURSE SHE IS. She is the perfect mix of those two, and thank god, ghost Billy comes back to tell her to not be held back from the mistakes of others. I believe Louise has a bright future ahead of her. I also am slightly obsessed with Agnes de Mille (as much as a non-dancer can be) because if there is anyone in the world who can move me just through dance, it is her. If you have the time, I encourage you to watch this video of the original Louise, and the original choreography. She kills. I cried a lot while watching this.
Carousel is so much more than Julie forgiving Billy for hitting her. Look deeper. If anything deserves you to look deeper into it, it's a Rodgers and Hammerstein show.

Carnival!
I forgot about Carnival!, probably because Caroline, or Change was SO good and The Capeman was SO bad. It just got lost in my mind!
Carnival! is one of the weirdest shows that I know anything about, and not really in the good way (just like Finian's Rainbow, which we'll get to in a while, and which I hate. At least as of now). The main story is of Lili, who is comically stupid. I don't know if you guys have taken improv classes, but if you have, you, or one of your classmates, at some point in your early studies, will play a character who knows NOTHING, and for no reason. It's very funny in the moment, but you need to justify WHY they are so stupid and you only have a few options: either they are mentally handicapped (and then you've dug yourself a terrible hole to try to get out of) or they have lived an incredibly sheltered life (and then you need to say WHY their life has been so sheltered -- and again, things can get very sticky and offensive very fast).
So, we don't know why Lili is so stupid. She is, as the main character/disturbing weirdo, Paul, says, "a grown up girl with the mind of a child." Also, he says repeatedly, that that is what he WANTS in a woman... so... there you go.
Anyway, Lili is described by most women who play her as "naive" and "innocent" and "a free spirit" and "full of love" -- which is TRUE, but it doesn't answer the question of WHY and HOW she is like this. Her father just died and she had left the village where she lived -- did something happen to her there? HOW DOES THIS PERSON EXIST?? You can't say that she "just does" because that immediately makes this piece mean nothing.
So, regardless, the music to Carnival! isn't terrible. Lili is an extremely vocally challenging role, and she does have most of the good material in the score. The best song, however, is "Her Face", sung by that misanthrope Paul, which, even out of context, is an excellent stand alone song. There are other characters besides these two (including several puppets which are played by Paul -- and Lili has no idea and thinks they are real), but none of them are very good people and most of their songs are forgettable and/or obnoxious.

Caroline, or Change is one of those shows that is so good, it reminds you why you like musical theatre. I really didn't know anything about it before listening to it, and I love every single second. It's entirely sung through, but nothing is like... a "song." I need to explain what I mean, yes? Ok, so, in Les Mis everything is sung through, and everything they sing is a song. It's like song after song after song, where everything else stops when they're singing. The song is actually not part of the narrative: maybe it tells their feelings or something, but nothing is happening (with a few exceptions). In Caroline, or Change something is ALWAYS happening. You're getting their feelings, but you're also getting everything else. It's not all structure and rhyming; the end of the song bleeds into the next. This is not the show to look to for your next 16 bar audition cut, basically.
But this IS the show to look for if you want to be seriously moved. If you like stories where every single character is in the wrong, this is the show for you. God, I loved it. It's so conflicting. Everyone thinks they're right and in a way they ARE all right, but they're also all wrong.
This is also the show for you if you are a woman, as 7 of the main roles are woman (with 3(ish) male leading roles and 2 more supporting men and 1 supporting woman).
With basically the entire play on the cast recording, you can hear the entire story just from the music (which is to be expected, since it's sung through). I also watched a bootleg on youtube, but this just reinforced my previous feelings. I related to Anika Noni Rose's character in so many ways. She is incredible, as is EVERYONE from the cast.
This musical gets an A+ and you should listen to it.

The Capeman
I thought I would give the Capeman a chance, even though me not hearing anything about it in 15 years seemed like a bad sign... and it's so bad. The story is hard to understand and the songs don't make sense WITH the story. This isn't a jukebox musical, but it might as well be. The music, by itself, is fine, but it does nothing to move the story along.
The Capeman had really bad reviews and didn't run for very long. It was reworked a few years ago and had a short run at the Delacorte Thater, where it was apparently much better... but that's not saying a lot.

WHY THIS IS HAPPENING
I started my Musical Theatre Journey in 1996 when I was 13, during a time when people still had to buy CDs if they wanted to listen to music that wasn't on the radio. CDs of showtunes were $18+ and only available at a mythical place called Border's. As time went on, iTunes was released, and then YouTube, and I could buy or listen to musicals more easily, but I got way more into rock music and basically stopped listening to, or researching, any musicals.
In July 2015 when I realized I could listen to almost any cast recording ever made on Apple Music, I decided to start in alphabetical order (with the numbers first). This is my experience with every show, ever.
I am a 33 year old actor/singer originally from northeastern Ohio who is married to a 44 year old actor/singer from northeastern Ohio. I love Shakespeare, Sondheim and rock and roll.

As you can see above, the story coming out of WWE Summerslam 2014 is Brock Lesnar winning the WWE World Heavyweight Title in convincing fashion from John Cena. The domination was unbelievable to witness and has left a lot of fans wondering, "what's next?". Summerslam 2014 was incredibly entertaining and almost felt like a shift from what we'd been getting(as I believe every big PPV should). It kicked off with a pretty decent match between RVD(in his last WWE match for now, until he decides to return) against the criminally underused Cesaro(who put on a great performance here). RVD picks up the win(why???) and as the countdown to the beginning of Summerslam winded down, a buzz was in the air. What would open the show?
Hulk Hogan Segment
Hulk Hogan kicks off Summerslam 2014, similar to how he kicked off Wrestlemania 30(which he hosted of course), and all he really did in this case was plug the WWE Network and the now infamous price tag of 9.99(don't even get me started). This segment was pretty much unnecessary, but it provided the crowd with the energy of Hulkamania early on to get them revved up.
WWE Intercontinental Championship Match
Dolph Ziggler vs The Miz
Dolph Ziggler has had the worst streak of bad luck in WWE, I'd say. He's consistently worked his ass off, put on great matches, and saw most of his opportunities pass him by. The fans have been chanting heavily for Ziggler, and have been consistently let down by the WWE booking department. With this match, a lot of people were expecting Miz to walk away with the victory, as he just debuted his new Hollywood gimmick and won the belt at Battleground. As the match kicked off, the crowd was firmly behind Ziggler as expected, and they put on a nice back and forth contest. The pace picks up at the end of the match, after a great sequence that saw Ziggler barely connect on a Fameasser, then Miz hits a Skull Crushing Finale right after for a 2 count(Ziggler kicks out of somebody's finisher!!). In the moments afterwards, Miz misses a kick to the head, which Ziggler counters with a Zig Zag, and as the ref goes to count, it's almost as if time stood still..... 1........................2....................................3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ZIGGLER WINS! Great match overall and the right person picks up the victory. Good job, WWE.
Rating: 7.5 out of 10
Divas Championship Match
Paige vs AJ Lee
Ah yes. These two lovely ladies in a feud that seemed like a dream for most of us...fangirls especially(I hate ya'll, but I digress). The match started off pretty intense for a Divas match and while relatively short, it featured some good action. I believe that this match should have been longer and I'd be able to give it a better rating, but it was still solid for the time it had. AJ was my pick to win it, but Paige picks up the victory and her 2nd Divas championship. This just means the feud continues, and gets even more intense, which I have no issue with.
Jack Swagger w/ Zeb Colter vs Rusev w/ Lana(my wife)
I was confused initially by what this match represented. I thought it was a flag on a pole match, but it was really just a one on one match that ended with the winner getting their nation's flag raised. The action here was pretty standard, and while I enjoyed the match, I'd say it could have been much better. Rusev picks up the win due to Swagger passing out from his submission, which only leads me to believe that this feud will continue at least one more PPV. Zeb Colter took a kick from Rusev, so I can't see them just moving on to a different opponent right away.
Rating: 6 out of 10
Lumberjack Match
Dean Ambrose vs Seth Rollins
Hands down, this is match of the night. I've never been a fan of Lumberjack matches, and I was skeptical as hell when I first saw the stipulation, but damn it, these two made it work perfectly. Ambrose is my current favorite wrestler in the WWE and he's been on my top 5 list since his arrival into the WWE. As he shines as a solo competitor more and more, I'm really interested to see what's next from him every week. Rollins, who has done great as a heel, played his role perfectly in this match, and I really enjoyed both of these guys fighting against the lumberjacks. The fire inside Ambrose is something that can really build a legend, and with all the crazy antics, moments and way he got the crowd hype, there's no telling how far he can go as a star in the company. I didn't particularly like the ending of the match with Kane once again having to help Seth out from losing and Rollins needing the briefcase to win, but if Ambrose was going to lose, this is the way to do it I'd say. It makes Ambrose look like a badass who Rollins can't beat by himself. I am excited for their rematch, which is inevitable, and I fully expect Ambrose to pick up a victory FINALLY in this feud. Ambrose, the last 3 PPVs as a solo act, has stolen the show, and at Battleground, he DIDN'T even ACTUALLY WRESTLE! I can say nothing bad about this match at all, it's match of the night as I mentioned, as well as a possible MOTY candidate for me too. The ending, like I said wasn't ideal for me, but the way they made it work, only draws me in more to Ambrose and can't wait until he gets his vengeance.
Bray Wyatt vs Chris Jericho
This feud was something that I had been waiting for since Bray came on the scene. I'd watched them fight in NXT before and I was so excited to see them do battle on the big stage. The feud itself has left a little to be desired, but the promo work between both men has been absolutely amazing. Bray never disappoints on the mic, and neither does Jericho. Coming into this match, my expectations were slightly low because of their Battleground match which didn't really work for me. Jericho picked up a quick win, and the feud continued from there, but this match was a bit more decisive. Bray was great in this, and Jericho seemed like he was struggling in this match a bit. I'm not sure what it is, but the in ring chemistry of these two seemed to be off early on. The pace picked up and the match drastically improved near the final moments, but the match still left something to be desired. Bray picks up a victory here, as he should, but I'd assume that this feud has one more match(maybe with a stipulation to make it more intense) that closes this out and lets Jericho go back to Fozzy touring for however long this time. At least Bray has finally picked up a PPV pinfall victory, his first actual singles pinfall victory since beating Daniel Bryan clean at the Royal Rumble in January(it's August).
Brie Bella vs Stephanie McMahon
I had no interest in this match going in. I really didn't even want to watch it, but I figured something would happen, so I decided to give it a look anyways. Steph looked pretty good in her wrestling outfit, and the match started out slightly intense. The pace was a bit plodding at one point, and business didn't start to pick up until Triple H came down to interfere with Nikki Bella following close behind him. At this point, it became apparent where the direction of the match was headed. Brie was gaining the upper hand on Steph, Triple H took a baseball slide kick(and sold it like a sumbitch), and Steph was caught in between Nikki and Brie, as the ref was knocked out. Impending doom for Steph right? Of course not. The expected "swerve"(most predictable one ever) with Nikki turning on her sister to set up a feud on TV(TV meaning RAW and Total Divas... emphasis on Total Divas). Steph picks up the victory, and this match was given way more time than it should have been. AJ vs Paige was cut short for this Steph vs Brie match and despite knowing why(the Authority storyline is taking up massive TV time), I wish the match lengths would have been reversed. This match wasn't AS bad as I thought it would be and it was actually entertaining. Wasn't better than AJ and Paige, but still solid for entertainment value, ESPECIALLY if you didn't see the "swerve" coming.
Roman Reigns vs Randy Orton
I went into this match with pretty low expectations, and for the first.... 5-7 minutes or so, I was definitely correct in those expectations. Roman, who is being groomed to be the next WWE golden boy it seems, has been forced a bit down fans throats, and while he is over with the audience decently, he still has a long way to go. Orton, who is off and on as one of my favorite performers in WWE, is notorious for his restholds and slow methodical pace in matches that some fans might deem as boring. So, going into this, I wasn't necessarily expecting a classic. This match wasn't a classic, but as the pace picked up in the last 7-9 minutes of the match, it got really good. A sick Superman punch into a RKO counter, along with a scoop slam counter from Randy are some highlights in the match. Reigns kicking out of that RKO counter did strike me as a bit much, as Randy losing to a single spear from Roman really didn't make him look as strong as I'd like them to. I wanted to see Randy go for the punt, get speared, kick out, then have Roman go for a Superman punch, Randy blocks it, attempts an RKO again, then gets pushed off into the ropes into a spear for a 1-2-3. I think Randy kicking out of the spear would have made the crowd go wild and just make him look even stronger in defeat so everyone wins in essence. Roman wins in a pretty good match, I just hope the WWE doesn't make too many missteps in pushing this guy.
WWE World Heavyweight Championship Match
Brock Lesnar vs John Cena
There's so much I could say here....... let me start by saying this......... FUCK YOU CENA FANS! WOOOOOOOOOOO!!!(Flair struts down the keyboard). Brock vs Cena was billed as the biggest fight of the summer, but it wasn't. It wasn't a fight. It was a massacre. A slaughter. Destruction. It was everything that Brock vs Cena at Extreme Rules 2012 was supposed to be. Brock decimated Cena through every minute of this match and we only saw Cena mount a small comeback which resulted in a few clotheslines and one AA that Lesnar kicked out of, and proceeded to sit up like The Undertaker afterwards(Brock was amazing in this match, and the Gifs and memes made off his head after sitting up are hilarious). This was Lesnar at his finest, dominating the WWE's reigning superman like he was nothing. His path of destruction, which included tons of knees, strikes, 16 German Suplexes, and 2 F-5's were absolutely CRAZY. There have been plenty of Summerslam main events in his long and storied history, but NEVER in the history of WWE has there ever been such a one sided main event title match. Brock seemed to just be toying with Cena the entire time, and he quickly put him out of his misery after Cena made a sorry attempt at locking on the STF in the closing moments of the match. For me personally, seeing Cena destroyed was beautiful, and seeing Brock make such easy work of him almost erases the mistakes that WWE made with Brock in the beginning. After decisive victories over CM Punk, Big Show, The Undertaker, and now John Cena for the WWE Title, the world is in Brock Lesnar's hands. He is the conqueror. The beast. The man. Paul Heyman said it. The prophecy became reality. Where do we go next? Only time will tell.
Overall, this PPV was solid, and with no real BAD match itself, it's definitely one of the better Summerslams. How it holds up in repeat viewings is a different story, but for now I'll leave you with my final overall rating and the last image of the night.

Roger Answers Your Questions, Gordon and Rick
December 27, 2007 Roger Leave a comment
Gordon, whose birthday is the day before mine, albeit a couple several many years later, asks:
1)Who IS your hero?
Actually, it's anyone who speaks truth to power. But the person who's moved me the most this year is Bill Moyers on PBS, who used to work in LBJ's administration. He's talked about the fallacies of the war in Iraq, taken on Big Media in a BIG way, and speaks about religion and faith and race in a wonderful, open-minded manner. Did you see Keith Olbermann on his show recently? Maybe I'm reading into it, but I think Keith, who I like, BTW, is a bit in awe of Bill, because they are in the same "town crier" business, but Moyers has been doing it a lot longer.
2) In this age of mega media-conglomeration, when the major studios are crying poverty during the Writer's Strike…what do you suggest we (as citizens) do?
Use less. Interesting sentence, that, because take away the space and it's useless, which is how I think lots of people are feeling about struggling against the mass everything. And it is a struggle. But to the degree possible, go to the locally-owned movie theater. See the local productions. Watch Moyers. As to the specifics of the writer's strike, don't watch the network shows online, don't buy DVDs (if you really must see the complete Stargate again, rent it.)
Did you see the Story of Stuff? If you do, I think you'll be less likely to want to buy the crap that we're being told that we MUST have. It's all part of the same struggle. On the same news cycle that we read that retailers are hoping for a late pre-Christmas shopping surge, we see that credit card debt is getting higher than ever.
They put out individual seasons of our favorite TV show and we buy that. Then they put out the box set with "extras", expecting us to buy that too. Don't. The music industry works the same way; no wonder that many people are "ripping off" the record companies. The system seems to be designed, per planned obsolesce and/or bait and switch, to make you buy the same thing again and again. Don't let 'em.
Before I get to Gordon's last question, I want to address this query by George (Rick) Lewis: Why are the daytime talk shows unaffected by the writer's strike??? Well, I did not know that they weren't affected. Poking around the Internet, I've read that the producers have enough scripts to get through January. And at least during the last strike 20 years ago, scabs non-union "scribes" were hired to pick up the slack. But the particulars of who is or is not covered is not my area of expertise; go ask Mark Evanier.
3) Why do people insist on playing/listening to "Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer"? That is one of the most annoying songs ever written.
(Plus, traumatic incidents should never be comedy fodder).
Let me take on the parenthetical aside first. Trauma is often comedy fodder. I understand the feeding the Christians to the lions was considered great fun; well, not to the Christians, I suppose.
Seriously, there are people who think that horror movies where the cliched young adults meet their demise is high camp; I tend not to watch them myself, but that's what I've heard.
One traumatic event I thought was TERRIBLY funny was the end of the movie, The Life of Brian – a crucifixion! And the victims are singing "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life"! A song so strong that it made its way into the musical Spamalot. So I think the eye-gouging of the Three Stooges or Wile E. Coyote's Acme bomb blowing up before he gets the Road Runner (meep meep) definitely have its fans.
As to the Elmo and Patsy song itself, I'll admit that I actually purchased the single. (For you youngsters, a single, for about a half century starting in the 1950s, was a seven-inch piece of musical vinyl with a large hole in the middle, to be played at 45 revolutions per minute on something called a "record player".) And I liked it because it was, to my mind, a lovely little deconstruction of all the cloying sentimentality of the season. I never thought it would turn out to be a perennial favorite, and I don't listen to it much any more, mostly because I've become bored with it. (And the remake that you hear on the radio is not, to my mind, as good as the less-polished version that I purchased.) In any event, Gordon, it may please you to know that others share your sentiment.
Confidential to GP: I'm not sure that I've had a breakup as devastating as yours with Liar Ex (who told many lies). But the cumulative effect on me of "love gone bad" (title of a Chris Clark song, not bad grammar) has had its impact. Were you ever dumped by an e-mail so circuitous that it took you three reads to get the message? I have. I'm just sayin'. But if I went through the litany, we'd both be way too depressed.

Poperinghe, Old Military Cemetery
Poperinge is a charming town in the southwest corner of the province of West Flanders, close to the French border. The town of 20,000 inhabitants is mostly known for its World War I heritage sites and captivating beer culture with many hop fields in the surrounding area. In the last years Poperinge also has developed itself as a regional hub for cycling and hiking. The municipality consists besides Poperinge of six other communities: Haringe, Krombeke, Proven, Reningelst, Roesbrugge and Watou.
During World War I the battleground was only a few kilometers to sometimes just a few hundred meters away from Poperinge. The town however never got captured by the Germans and functioned as a posting station for the allied army forces going to or from the Ypres Salient. English soldiers that recalled the town for its amusement and prostitutes, named the town affectionately as "Pops". The many cemeteries in the region are a somber reminder of the thousands of soldiers that died in the surrounding countryside.
World War I sites
⊙Talbot House, Gasthuisstraat 43. Daily 10:00—17:30. Last entrance at 16:30. The 'Every Man's Club' as Talbot House was called is one of the most evocative sites of the Great War. Over half a million soldiers were catered here. Everyone was treated equally as ranks did not matter here. Soldiers had the opportunity to play the piano, borrow books, to become human again. The exceptional spirit can possibly best be felt in the newly renovated 'Upper Room' or Chapel. This 'Home away from Home' makes a good way to look on the other side of World War I. €8, children till 6 years old go in for free. Combi-ticket Talbout House/Hopmuseum: €10. (updated May 2017)
⊙Lijssenthoek Military Cemetery, Boescheepseweg 35A. Daily 9:00—18:00. This military cemetery is the prime witness of over four years of brutal fighting during World War I. Between 1915 and 1920 the hamlet of Lijssenthoek operated as the biggest evacuation hospital of the Ypres Salient. Next to the cemetery is a visitor center which provides a deeper understanding and impression of the history of the site. Free access. (updated May 2017)
⊙Gwalia Cemetery, Elverdingseweg 22. A hop farm was claimed by the British army forces and called Gwalia Farm after a place in Wales. A small hospital was installed here. 470 army members who did not survive are buried on a cemetery on a plat behind the farm. Free access. (updated May 2017)
⊙Death Cells and Execution Spot, Guido Gezellestraat 1, ☎ +32 57 346676. The authentic execution pole which is situated in the inner courtyard of the town hall is a hurtful reminder of the fate that awaited so many so called 'deserters'. Soldiers, who sometimes bombarded for days, became near senseless and simply did not know what they were doing. Instead of receiving understanding and compassion, they served as a terrifying example to others. The condemned men spent their last night in the death cell before being shot at dawn on the courtyard. The site recently was renovated. Free. (updated Jun 2017)
⊙Nine Elms British Cemetery, Helleketelweg. 1615 war victims are buried here, of which 1593 are killed during the First World War and about 20 victims and 2 unidentified losses from the Second World War. (updated Jun 2017)
Other sights
⊙St. John's church (Sint-Janskerk), Sint-Janskruisstraat 1. 13th century church which is a well-known place for pilgrimage dedicated to Our Lady. According to common beleifs, Our Lady performed a miracle here in 1479. This miracle is the basis for the yearly religious-historical procession, called Maria-Ommegang. (updated Jun 2017)
⊙St. Bertinus' church (Sint-Bertinuskerk), Garenstraat 1. Together with the St. John's church this one is very noticeable in the town of Poperinge. In the stained glasses of the church you can spot some local references, such as hops on the rood loft and depicted hop picking scenes. (updated Jun 2017)
⊙Town Hall, Grote Markt 1. The Poperinge Town Hall was built in 1911 by the same architect who later would be responsible of the reconstruction of Ypres after the world war. (updated Jun 2017)
⊙German Tower (Duitse Toren), Westvleterseweg. This 13m high German observation tower was built in 1940 during the Second World War as part of a military airfield (Fliegerhorst) just outside Poperinge. When the airfield closed in 1941 and became rural area again the tower fell out of use. Today the tower stands in the middle of the field and can only be seen from a short distance. (updated Jun 2017)
⊙Weeuwhof, Sint-Annastraat. On the location of a former hop field on the assignment of a canon 12 houses for widows (called weeuwen in the local dialect) and old single ladies were built. Later the complex was extended by 6 additional houses. (updated Jun 2017)
⊙Page Electronics, Casselstraat 210 (walk down the Casselstraat from the church), ☎ +32 57 346766. A local company assembling modern electronics, ranging from modules for spacecraft and aviation to prototypes for world famous research institute IMEC in Leuven . They offer free tours of the entire assembly line, giving a unique insight in how modern electronics are manufactured, including circuit boards, cabling, and assembly of complete products. Guided tours in English or Dutch only, with reservation. Tours take 3 - 4 hours, making it a great activity for the many rainy days in West Flanders. Free. (updated Sep 2017)
Beer and hop
⊙Hop Museum, Gasthuisstraat 71, ☎ +32 57 337922. From 25 February until 30 November Tue-Sun 10:00—18:00. Closed on Mondays. The Poperinge region has centuries of hop growing tradition. This tradition is showcased in this museum in the former building of the Municipal Scales (Stadsschaal). The whole process of hop growing is pictured and explained, along with historical documents, photographs and an audio guide. €6, €2,50 for people younger than 25, children till 6 years old go in for free. Combi-ticket Talbout House/Hopmuseum: €10. (updated May 2017)
⊙Brewery Sint-Bernardus, Trappistenweg 23, ☎ +32 57 388021. Tours are possible every day in English, Dutch and French. Since 1946 this brewery in the village of Watou produces dark and blond abbey ales with their own yeasts and malts. Their hops come from the hop field that is located right next to the brewery. €12,50. (updated Jun 2017)
⊙Brewery De Plukker, Elverdingseweg 16. Apr—Sept: Offer guided tours in Dutch for individuals or small groups on the first Saturday of the month at 15:00. This family owned brewery produces 5 beers, of which 3 are year round and 2 hop harvest beers. The brewery shop is opened on Saturday afternoons 14:00—17:00. There are also some selling points in the town center and in the wider region. During the tour it is possible to taste the beers. €6. (updated Jun 2017)

Ypres (Dutch: Ieper, both pronounced "eeper") is a friendly town of 35,000 inhabitants in Flanders endowed with wonderful architecture and a troubled past. Ypres is best known as the site of three major battles of the First World War, the most famous being the Battle of Passchendaele from July - November 1917. The many memorials and cemeteries of the fallen in and around Ypres draw thousands of visitors each year. The belfry of Ypres is a UNESCO World Heritage site.
The town of Ypres formed the centre of the so-called "Ypres Salient" during most of the First World War - an area of Allied (British and Belgian)-held land surrounded on three sides by the German front line that formed the northernmost section of the Western Front. Holding Ypres was vital for the Allies in their bid to prevent the Germans gaining control of all the Channel ports, vital for the transport and supply of the British Expeditionary Force. As a result, the city became the focus of several major battles to break in / out of the Salient and was subjected to fairly continuous bombardment by German artillery for most of the war. By 1918, little remained of the town but shattered ruins surrounded by muddy shell-pocked fields.
After the First World War, most of central Ypres was rebuilt with German reparations (war debt) money. This was a lengthy process: the famous Cloth Hall was not completed until the 1960s.
Landmarks and Memorials
⊙Menin Gate Memorial. Dedicated on 24 July 1927 as a memorial to the missing British and Commonwealth soldiers who fell in Belgium during World War One. Has a Last Post Ceremony each night at 8:00 PM as a way for the Ypres citizens to express their gratitude towards those who died for Belgium's freedom.
This memorial contains, both inside and out, huge panels into which are carved the names of the 54,896 officers and men of the British Empire forces who died in the Ypres Salient area and who have no known graves. The names recorded on the gate's panels are those of men who died in the area between the outbreak of the war in 1914 and 15 August 1917. The names of a further 34,984 of the missing - those who died between 16th August, 1917 and the end of the war, are recorded on carved panels at Tyne Cot Cemetery, on the slopes just below Passchendaele.

City fortification. Ypres has been a rather military city from its foundation on, being always on the boundary of some country. The oldest city walls, dating from 1385, were mostly destroyed for expansion. The city walls that are currently guarding the south and east of the city were created by the French architect Vauban in the 16th century. The walls are star-shaped, and made from thick dirt moats, allowing to hold back the heaviest artillery from that age to WWI onwards. Planted with trees, they form a green belt around the city centre.
⊙Casemates (Kazematten) (Just a bit south of the Menin gate, with entrances to the inner-city.). The Casemates were bomb-free shelters under the city fortifications. Also build by Vauban, and they even remained functional as armoury until WWI. Currently, they're brought back into use. One of them contains a pub, another one contains a brewery, and the rest is used for temporal expositions.
⊙Ramparts Cemetery, Rijselstraat. Military cemetery located within the town of Ypres with 198 Commonwealth burials next to the Lille Gate (Rijselpoort).
The marketplace has several restaurants, pubs and places to sit outside during the summer.
Tuesdays usually host music night outside, organised by "'t Klein Stadhuis" right next to the cloth halls and the city hall.
