Plantain is the name of a large group of bananas that has upwards of 100 cultivars[1]. The expression "bananas and plantains" has created confusion as to what Plantains are[2]. The expression was coined to raise awareness on the importance of cooking bananas for food security, but in doing so it helped spread the misconception that the word "banana" refers to dessert bananas only. Paradoxically, FAOSTAT which keeps tabs on bananas and plantains has led to an underestimation of the importance of cooking bananas in global production, and by extension an overestimation of the dessert types[3]. In Spanish, plátano, from which is derived the term plantain, is often used to refer to all types of bananas.
The genome of Plantain cultivars, shorthanded AAB, denotes that these bananas have three sets of chromosomes and that they are hybrids of Musa acuminata and Musa balbisiana in a proportion of roughly two to one. Even though bananas originate from the Asia-Pacific region, the diversity of Plantain cultivars is highest in Africa, especially West and Central Africa. This diversity was created locally by farmers selecting and vegetatively propagating natural mutants derived from the maybe more than one cultivar introduced to the African continent. Archaelogical evidence in the form of phytoliths suggests that bananas were being grown in southern Cameroon during the first millenium BC[4]. The diversity of Plantains in the Democratic Republic of Congo is believed to be one of the highest in Africa[5]. The Plantain cultivars grown in Latin America were introduced from Africa during the slave trade.

The cultivars in this subgroup display a wide range of morphological characters, from plants with a large bunch and male bud, to plants with only a few fruit and no male bud. As bunch weight decreases, the average fruit weight tends to increase.
The following traits, recorded on 55 cultivars from the Democratic Republic of Congo, have been proposed as being potentially characteristic of the subgroup[6].
Pseudostem: Moderately waxy leaf sheaths; watery sap; suckers close to the mother plant and between ¼ and ¾ the height of the mother plant.
Petiole canal: Margins curved inward, winged and clasping the pseudostem; dry wing type; green petiole margin with a colour line along its edge; margin width ? 1cm.
Leaf: Shiny upper surface; dull lower surface; moderately waxy leaves; symmetric insertion point of the leaf blades on the petiole; rounded leaf blade base on both sides; intermediate leaf corrugation; large purple blotches on the leaves of the water suckers.
Peduncle: The peduncle is slightly hairy.
Fruit: Pronounced ridges; hairless pedicel surface; slightly to not fused pedicels; high adherence of the peel (the fruits do not peel easily); persistent fruits (do not fall from hands at maturity); firm pulp texture.
A number of traits are used to distinguish cultivars: bunch orientation (see photos) and density (very compact, compact and lax), the number of hands, size and shape of the fingers (straight, straight in the distal part, curved and S shapes), size of the pseudostem, presence or absence of the male bud, colour of the pseudostem (various shades of green, red, or violet), peel colour of immature fruit (various shades of green, red, yellow and brown).

Sub-horizontal bunch orientation (J. Adheka)
Horizontal bunch orientation (J. Adheka)
Erect bunch orientation (J. Adheka)
Norman Simmonds recognized two types of Plantain cultivars distinguished by the presence of the male bud (French) or its absence/degeneration (Horn)[7]. Two types were later recognized: False Horn[8] and French Horn[1]. A study of the morphological diversity of 97 accessions collected in the Democratic Republic of Congo recognized three types: French, False Horn and Horn[9].
French Plantain (J. Adheka)
French types have persistent bracts on the rachis and a large male bud. French types are commonly subdivided into size categories: giant, medium, small. The medium and small French types produce more suckers than the giant French types.
Since the height and girth of the pseudostem vary with the environmental conditions, the number of leaves produced from planting to flowering is used to determine the size class: giant (more than 40 leaves); medium (between 32 and 38 leaves); and small (less than 30 leaves)[8]. Most of the French types characterized by large bunches that contain many hands and relatively small fruits. These cultivars have a long vegetative cycle and are susceptible to toppling in windy conditions.
French Plantain cultivars are called Plátano Hembra in Central America, Congo in Puerto Rico and banane blanche in the French West Indies[8].
Examples of cultivars: 'Obino l'Ewai' (Nigeria), 'Nendran' (India), 'Dominico' (Colombia)
French Horn Plantain (R. Markham)
False Horn Plantain (J. Adheka)
The male bud of both French Horn and False Horn types degenerates at maturity. French Horn types have a high number of neutral flowers, whereas False Horn types retain only a few neutral flowers[1]. Both types have large fingers, but the bunch of a French Horn is dense. The plant size categories are also different. For example, a medium French Horn is taller than a medium False Horn.
Examples of French Horn types: 'Batard' (Cameroon), 'Mbang Okon' (Nigeria)
Examples of False Horn types: 'Agbagda' and 'Orishele' (Nigeria), 'Dominico-Harton' (Colombia)
Horn Plantain (J. Adheka)
Horn types tend to produce very few fruit spread over one to five hands (exceptionally eight to ten). The rachis ends after the last hand. No male bud is produced.
Horn types are called Plátano Macho in Central America.
Examples of cultivars: 'Ishitim' (Nigeria), 'Pisang Tandok' (Malaysia)
Since the French types are the only ones to have a complete inflorescence, they are believed to be at the origin of the other types. The degeneration process from French to Horn types is believed to have taken place in six phases[10]:
Phase 1: The basal male flowers experience an 'ovary' hypertrophy.
Phase 2: The male flowers (especially the basal ones) remain attached to the floral axis.
Phase 3: The total number of hands and flowers decreases, but the male bud persists to maturity.
Phase 4: The male bud is quickly exhausted. At maturity about fourty hands, containing flowers with a half-reduced ovary and sometimes developed as small bananas, are observed.
Phase 5: No trace of male bud. The last female hands also disappear. Some cultivars produce only one hand or one very large banana.
Phase 6: The floral axis no longer bears fruits. Two or three very thick but very narrow bracts hang from the sterile glomerules.
The Plaintain subgroup also has dwarf and semi-dwarf cultivars. Dwarfism is characterized by a lower leaf ratio (length/width) than the one measured on giant, medium and small types. The leaves of dwarf types are also more erect.
Plantain cultivars require a warm and humid climate with no major oscillations. They will generally not survive a dry season that lasts more than 3 months and temperatures below 10ºC for more than a few nights. Exceptions are cultivars such as 'Vuhembe', which has been found growing at 2,172 m in North Kivu, the Democratic republic of Congo[6].
Most Plantain cultivars exhibit strong apical dominance, which suppresses sucker growth until after bunch emergence. They then tend to remain small because of competition with each other.
The shallow and poorly ramified root system of Plantain cultivars also makes them susceptible to 'high mat', the tendency of the plant base to grow out of the soil.

Every April, the Women's and Gender Studies Program, sponsors a series of events for Women's History Month, centered on a particular theme. This year's theme is Redefining Beauty, a critical examination of beauty ideals in recent Western culture and how they reflect and perpetuate culturally powerful judgments about gender, sexuality, race, ethnicity, and age. What impact do those ideals have on how we think of ourselves and others, how we live out our embodied lives, what we fear and desire, and how we spend our time and money? We also plan to explore alternatives to those ideals, by highlighting the proliferation of what counts as beautiful in our culture: "radical" means both getting at the core of an issue and departing from the habitual, the expected, and the normal.


After finding out that I have a genetic mutation called MTHFR that affects over 50% of the population, I did a ton of research into the importance of B vitamins. B vitamins protect against depression, anxiety, neuromuscular disorders, fatigue, gastrointestinal disorders and so much more. This B Complex contains the active forms of all the B vitamins, which are the easiest for MTHFR-affected people (and everyone else) to absorb/use.

We uphold the law and the Code
ofi operates in many different countries. Where local law and regulations conflict with the Code, you must comply with whichever sets the highest standard i.e., if the Code sets a higher standard, you must apply the Code and vice versa. Where local law is stricter than the Code, ofi's local policies and procedures must comply with these enhanced local standards. If, by following the Code, you believe you have to breach local law or you are unclear on what to do, consult with LEGAL.
Employees must always comply with the applicable laws and regulations. Ignorance of the law is no excuse.
Timely legal consultation is essential to protecting ofi's legitimate business interests and opportunities. LEGAL will provide guidance to anyone in the Group on an ongoing basis, and you should follow that guidance.
To protect ofi we will:
Promptly seek advice from LEGAL, particularly in the following situations:
handling material commercial contracts (such as Master Sales Agreements, high value contracts, and bespoke arrangements) unless LEGAL has delegated its authority to the business, or set up a route for direct consultation of an external legal adviser;
where any litigation and/or regulatory action occurs;
working on new or proposed M&A, divestments, joint ventures or other similar transactions;
a government or regulatory body communicates with us about potential investigations or regulatory actions;
compliance issues involving competition/antitrust laws, such as trade terms, distribution agreements, exclusivity arrangements, pricing (see section on Fair Dealing) occur;
external communications occur that could impact ofi's reputation or create legal liability or contain 'inside' or 'price sensitive' information (see section on Securities Law and Competition Law Policy);
use of, or proposed changes to, our Intellectual property occur (see section on Intellectual Property);
issues related to product quality and safety occur (see section on Food Quality and Safety);
bribery or corruption issues arise (see section on Anti-bribery and Corruption);
sanctions related matters (see section on Know Your Counterparty).
It is important that we all use common sense and judgement in situations that are not covered above. If you are unsure, err on the side of caution and consult with LEGAL.
To protect ofi we will not:
do anything that LEGAL has advised is illegal and/or impermissible;
proceed without express senior line management approval where legal advice highlights significant risks for ofi, such as the risk of litigation;
appoint, manage or remove external legal counsel without first consulting with LEGAL;
pay any legal fees that differ from the fee structures agreed with external legal counsel by LEGAL.
Employees must obey relevant securities laws. These make it illegal to buy or sell securities while in possession of 'Inside Information', which means information that is not publicly available and that a reasonable investor may consider important in deciding whether to purchase or sell a security. If in doubt on this matter, check with LEGAL.
Examples can include:
significant financial information about ofi;
a potential merger, acquisition or divestment of company assets;
information on ongoing legal matters;
material changes to leadership or organization;
research breakthroughs and innovation launches.
read and understand ofi's Securities Dealing Code and Policy Documents and Inside Information Disclosure Policy;
contact LEGAL if we have access to Inside Information or own ofi securities and it is unclear how to act;
alert the LEGAL function if suspected or actual Inside Information is not being managed as Inside Information.
use Inside Information to buy or sell securities of any listed company, including shares, equities, related derivatives, options or spread bets;
encourage anyone else to buy or sell securities when in possession of Inside Information, even if there is no personal profit from it;
pass Inside Information about ofi to anyone outside the business, including friends and family (see section on Protecting ofi's Information below).
Employees are responsible for protecting ofi's intellectual property (IP), and for respecting the IP rights of third parties.
IP includes trademarks, copyright, patents, trade secrets and other proprietary information. These are valuable assets to be handled with care.
LEGAL must always be consulted in relation to the protection of our IP and its use or commercialization and can direct you to functions including Brand, Tax and Finance that would also need to be notified.
always consult LEGAL whenever there is a plan to create a new brand or register, license, amend or transfer any trademark, patent or other IP right or enter into any agreement concerning ofi intellectual property, whether owned or licensed;
only use the intellectual property of another company in a way that ensures the use of that company's intellectual property is consistent with the rights granted to us;
ensure any know-how or trade secrets are kept securely and subject to strict confidentiality arrangements internally and with external parties.
use ofi's intellectual property for personal or non-company purposes;
use or distribute third-party copyrighted software and materials without approval from LEGAL.
Know your counterparty
To protect ofi's reputation, it is important to ensure that we are in compliance with all applicable sanctions and do not conduct business with those associated with criminal activities.
In particular, ofi and its employees must make sure ofi does not breach applicable international sanctions or receive funds which are the proceeds of criminal activities, as this can amount to the criminal offence of money laundering and/or sanctions violations.
If you are planning to do business with anyone, you are responsible for ensuring counterparty screening is carried out and the counterparty approved before conducting any business.
read and become familiar with the ofi Trade Sanctions and Counterparty Screening Policy;
screen all counterparties before doing business to assess their identity and legitimacy, and to make sure they are not subject to sanctions;
to screen, determine, with guidance from your regional Compliance Manager, which tools and processes should be used to ensure appropriate screening and record-keeping;
where required, carefully consider, in consultation with your regional Compliance Manager or regional General Counsel, the outcomes of the screening before deciding whether to do business with the third party;
look out for signs of unusual financial or payment activity which may be an indication of money laundering, such as:
supplier requests to:
pay funds to a bank account in the name of a different third party or outside the country of their operation;
take payments in a form outside the normal terms of business;
split payments across several bank accounts;
customer payments to ofi:
made from multiple bank accounts to settle one payment;
made from bank accounts overseas when not a foreign customer;
made by third parties you have not contracted with;
made in cash when normally made electronically or by cheque;
made in advance when not part of normal terms of business;
immediately notify LEGAL where suspicions about actual or potential money laundering or other suspicious payment activity is noticed.
assume relevant third-party screening has already taken place. Failure to check or update screenings may put ofi and its employees at risk.
Law enforcement and regulatory bodies
ofi is open and honest with all law enforcement and regulatory bodies.
be honest in all dealings with any government official and comply with the requirements set out in the Government Interaction Policy;
notify LEGAL promptly when contacted by a government agency about an investigation, request for information, statutory action, or other such matter, so that they can provide with advice before replying to the request.

Today at the Gym – older guy that is a new face to me. The rear half of his head that has hair is combed straight back, finishing up in a straggly party in the rear. His mustache is much more salt than pepper, so much so you can hardly see it. His exercise machine of choice is the Cybex tricep extension.
The image to the left depicts a woman using proper form on the machine. This man obviously never saw such a picture. His elbows were in a locked 30 degree position and no part of his arms ever touched the large pad. He simply lowered and raised his arms above the pad. At the high point of this movement his elbows hovered approximately 8 inches off the pad. At the bottom he got within 3 inches of contact.
Perhaps I have it all wrong and this guy was intentionally using the machine as a bastardized stiff armed front lat pull down device. I doubt it however.
I finally got around to adding +1 to my untimed Ray's Way today. Two weeks ago the 15-10-20 sets were hard but more doable than I like. Adding a single rep may seem like no big deal and normally I would agree with you. However if I add 1 rep to all three RW movements it winds up being 15 extra reps overall because the circuit is gone through 5 times. It feels a lot more significant than it sounds.
I got through the 5 sets of 16 dips, 11 pull ups and 21 push ups intact, even observing the HOH only(hands on hips) rest periods. It felt significantly more difficult, enough so that I can uncomfortably stay at this level for a few more sessions.


Summary: This book was a runaway success when published in the 1930s and it's now hailed as an American classic. It's steeped in the era of the Great Depression where hordes of young people, largely with no future prospects, take part in a dance marathon - with chilling results.
Many of us will know of the release of the film of the same title back in the 1960s. I haven't seen the film so I started reading with no ready-made opinions about the book. Likewise, I had no idea how the attention-grabbing title bore any relation to a book about dance. I was about to find out. It's both arresting and simple. The book cover and also the inside front cover are littered with praise for this book. The first existentialist novel to have appeared in America says one writer. Takes the reader into one of America's darkest corners ... from another source. So, I was expecting a terrific read. But did I get it?
What struck me straight away was the original and quirky lay-out. Often, only a handful of words (but words to chill the heart nevertheless) appear, as if lost, on the page. I was impressed with McCoy's creativity. Chapter one tells us that a young girl called Gloria is dead. We're told this news in the formal language of a court room. The person accused is confused. He wants to shout out to everyone that they've got it all wrong. How could they be so stupid. They should be thanking him for what he did. After all, he knew Gloria. They didn't Now I don't know about you but that's what I call a cracking, good start to a story and I couldn't wait to find out what happened next. In truth, I was hooked by the very first four words of the book.
The questions running through the mind of this young man are incredulous, unbelievable, heart-wrenching and also just plain sad. The book is written in the first person. It's his story, poor sod. And McCoy drags us in, right in to the heart of the matter. I asked myself several times if this young man was perhaps insane, lost his mind. Then I got to know him a little better and I stopped asking the question. I knew the answer.
The meeting between these two young people - boy and girl started out innocently enough. Both at a loss as to what to do about jobs, money, a hot meal. I could almost see them kicking up their heels in the dust, in frustration. We find out early on that Gloria is star-struck. She'll do anything to get a bit part in a movie. But she's been having a tough time. She appears old beyond her years. She suggests they pair up and enter this local dance marathon. There's free food and free bed ... All they have to do is dance till they drop basically. Last pair standing wins the prize money. Sounds simple enough, doesn't it? And McCoy ruthlessly gives the reader all the gory details - the tiredness, the aching limbs - and much, much worse. We soon see the organizers of the event in their true colours. It's not a pretty sight. Much of this seemingly innocuous story made me stop and think. The dancers are reduced to a number - so much easier than trying to remember names, after all. Prisoners have numbers. These kids are free agents. Or are they?
McCoy's writing centres around the Great Depression. His novel charts the mind-numbing progress of this blasted dance marathon. Yes, I was getting heartily sick of all the statistics etc and that's the whole point, of course and is down to the author's brilliant writing. The reader is drip-fed the tiniest slivers of details about the young man accused. And the very last line stopped me in my tracks. It certainly squared the circle. This novel is a compelling portrait of a particular time and place. Recommended.

With several Supercross and Motocross championships under his belt from the US, Europe and Australia, Chad Reed has proven he's in it to win it.
Aboard a Suzuki in 2009, Reed took second overall in Supercross after a heated rivalry with Stewart that culminated in a tense Vegas finale where Reed tried to boot Bubba off the track. Reed took consolation in the SX finish by dominating the '09 motocross season after Stewart announced he would not compete in the outdoor Nationals.
Reed then defended his Australasian Supercross title aboard his new Monster Energy Kawasaki ride.
For 2010 Reed got things off to a rocky start when he took two DNFs in the first two Supercross rounds. The Aussie broke his hand in Phoenix, forcing him to the sidelines for the rest of the series. Determined for a comeback, Reed took the win in the opening moto of the 2010 MX season at Hangtown. However, it would be the highlight of the season as the two-time Supercross champ would see his results gradually worsen throughout the series. Reed was later diagnosed with a virus and pulled out of the 2010 Nationals, eventually finishing 11th overall. Reed and Kawasaki parted ways near the end of the season.
In 2011 the Aussie forged a new path for himself by creating his own team – TwoTwo Motorsports. Reed proved a quick study in his new role as team owner by posting consistent podiums throughout a challenging SX season. In the end he finished second overall and was just four points shy of taking the title. Afterward Reed really found his groove in the outdoor nationals, winning four of the first six rounds in the 2011 AMA Pro Motocross series. A major crash at Millville set the former champ back, however, and after only managing one podium finish in the second half of the season he finished third overall.
Reed started the 2012 Supercross season strong, launching his second campaign with Two Two Motorsports along with factory support from American Honda, taking podiums in five of the first seven events. The Aussie went down in the seventh round and broke a tibia, fibula, two ribs, his T6 vertebrae and tore his anterior cruciate ligament. He was then forced to withdraw from the remainder of the season due to his injuries. Despite his absence from the final 10 rounds, Reed still took 12th in overall points.
Reed's injuries left him sidelined for the 2012 Motocross season, but he's since healed and is ready to start his 2013 SX campaign with Two Two Motorsports.
Reed's career took off in 1998 when he jumped to the premier Australian 250cc Supercross class, bypassing the 125cc class.
In only his second year of racing the 250cc Australian Supercross he won the 1999 championship and followed it up with another win in 2000.
In 2001 Chad Reed competed in the FIM World 250cc Motocross Championship and became the first Australian to win a 250cc GP race.
Reed finished his rookie 2003 AMA Supercross season second to Ricky Carmichael by only seven points despite winning eight races to Ricky's seven.
Chad Reed and Ricky Carmichael would battle again for the title in 2006 with Reed losing by only two points.

The Oscar-nominated co-star of the 2016 film 'Manchester by the Sea'
Actor Lucas Hedges was Oscar-nominated for his supporting role as an unhappy New England teen in the 2016 movie Manchester by the Sea. Lucas Hedges was born into the entertainment business: his father, Peter Hedges, wrote the novel What's Eating Gilbert Grape and was Oscar-nominated for his screenplay for the 2002 Hugh Grant romantic drama About a Boy. His mother is the actress Susan Bruce Titman. Lucas Hedges attended the private St. Anne's School in Brooklyn Heights and then moved on to the North Carolina School of the Arts. But his time in school has been consistently interrupted by feature film roles, including small parts in three 2014 films: the suspense thriller Labor Day, the drug drama Kill the Messenger and the Wes Anderson quirkfest The Grand Budapest Hotel. He also took to the stage, starring in the off-Broadway production Yen in 2017. His big breakthrough was Manchester by the Sea. The 2016 film, about an unhappy Boston loner who moves back to a Massachusetts fishing town to become the guardian of his orphaned nephew, co-starred Casey Affleck and Michelle Williams. The film earned Oscar nominations for all three. Since then, Hedges has turned in solid performances in critically acclaimed films such as Greta Gerwig's Lady Bird (2017), Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri (2017, starring Frances McDormand), Jonah Hill's Mid90s (2018), Boy Erased (2018, starring Nicole Kidman) and Honey Boy (2019, starring Shia LaBeouf).

Thanks to the popularity of Mexican cuisine north of the border (around the world, actually), there are plenty of Spanish words that English speakers knowingly adopt in day-to-day use: taco, tortilla and quesadilla are pretty standard imports. But you may be surprised to learn that hundreds more Spanish words are in everyday use. And if you think this is due to the United States' rapidly growing Hispanic population, you'd actually be wrong. Spanish words have been used in English for a very long time.
Before Mexicans came to the United States, Americans came to Mexico. Present-day California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Nevada and Utah, as well as parts of Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma and Wyoming, were all part of Mexico until they were ceded to the United States at the end of the Mexican-American War in 1848. And although the change in sovereignty meant a massive influx of English speakers, it also meant that thousands of Mexicans living in the region suddenly became Americans. Even earlier, in 1819, Spain ceded their Florida colony (which included parts of Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana) to the United States. As a result of a century of shifting borders, Spanish and English have had numerous opportunities to rub off on each other. Here are just some of the Spanish words that you probably use every day.
Nothing's more American than a cowboy, right? Well actually, the first people to herd cattle on horseback in North America were the vaqueros who introduced the ancient Spanish equestrian tradition to the Southwest. Their name is derived from vaca, the Spanish word for – you guessed it – cow.
But English isn't the only language with a penchant for absorbing words from other languages. Many words that English has acquired from Spanish originally came from other languages, mostly those of native American populations that were subjugated by the Spanish colonial empire.
Want to learn even more Spanish words?


One Eternal Day: "Real flesh and blood heroes who do something"
The heading for this post is from a 2004 New Yorker article, "Nancy Drew's Father," quoting the man it was about, Edward Stratemeyer.
In 1926, ninety-eight per cent of the boys and girls surveyed in a poll published by the American Library Association listed a Stratemeyer book as their favorite, and another survey showed that the Tom Swift books, which the syndicate launched in 1910, were at the top of the list. Thirty-one series were in full swing. Yet Stratemeyer still wasn't content. He had noticed the growing popularity in the twenties of adult detective fiction and of pulp magazines like Black Mask, which was founded by H.L. Mencken and George Jean Nathan. .... Stratemeyer saw that this detective fiction, grafted onto an adventure story, might appeal to children. In 1926, the year that S.S. Van Dine's The Benson Murder Case introduced Philo Vance to the world, Stratemeyer wrote the outline for the first three volumes of a series that proved more popular than any that had come before: the Hardy Boys.
Characters should not age or marry. Protagonists of early series such as the Rover Boys, Tom Swift, and Ruth Fielding did grow up and marry, but sales dropped afterwards, prompting the Syndicate to make a rule that characters never marry.
I owned most of the Hardy Boys series in one of the later — updated — incarnations. I once came across an original Tower Treasure and found the earlier version of a by then very familiar story interesting especially because of the dated slang and technology. But the ones I owned had been modernized, eliminating references to "roadsters," etc. My copies are long gone, outgrown and given away.
Several of the series are available in electronic form from Gutenberg and ManyBooks. The books are hardly readable as an adult but I did enjoy the Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew a lot when I was about ten. Unfortunately those two series are unavailable free because they are still being sold commercially. Following are some of the early series that can be downloaded without cost and in a variety of formats. There is a caution: in the early books there is some slang and stereotyping that should have been unacceptable then and is definitely so now.

Much ado about Mildred
By William Graebner & Dianne Bennett| 2018-03-21T20:12:34+01:00	December 17th, 2017|"Critics Notebook"|
Frances McDormand's Mildred, an angry, grieving mother, make waves in a rural drama.
ildred (Frances McDormand) is a crusty, foul-mouthed, kick-'em-in the groin, 55-year old woman on a mission: justice for her teenage daughter, who has been kidnapped, raped, murdered, and buried. Mildred's heard nothing from the police for seven months. She responds with three huge, red, country-road billboards, Burma-shave style, calling to account the police and their chief (Woody Harrelson). "Still No Arrests? How Come, Chief Willoughby?"
That's all in the trailer, and critical moviegoers will wonder if it's worthwhile sitting through two hours of more-of-the-same, with McDormand doing her thing, powerful as it is.
It is worthwhile, and it isn't just more-of-the-same, though entertaining, vitriolic Mildred takes most of the film to settle down, and then just a bit. Rather than a one-dimensional McDormand vehicle, "Three Billboards" proves to be a surprisingly complex, psychological drama, as its protagonists come to terms with anger, childhood trauma, parental guilt, disfigurement, impending death, and, above all, the difficulty of knowing the truth, whether about the murder case or themselves.
Willoughby is the first surprise. He's not the bad cop we're expecting, but a thoughtful, intelligent, knowledgeable, introspective man, who understands civil rights. While undergoing personal and family problems of a high order, and troubled by Mildred's billboards, he's willing to explain to the victim's mother why the case hasn't been solved, though not why he's failed to communicate with her. Another fine performance by Harrelson is tarnished only by the casting of his wife (Australian Abbie Cornish), who is too young for the role and can't get her accent right, and by some mawkish scenes later in the film (watch for the picnic with the kids), punctuated by an all-too-perfect, smarmy Willoughby letter, which makes him come off as some version of Grand Master Yoda.
If the script doesn't quite do right by Willoughby, it is otherwise superb, centering the film on the trials and transformations of Mildred and her equally angry, racist counterpart, police officer Dixon (an on-pitch performance by Sam Rockwell).
Though self-righteous (and, for the most part, justifiably so), Mildred is hardly perfect. She's been hardened, by events and guilt, to the point of excess. Until the town dwarf (Peter Dinkage) sets her straight ("And you think I'm not a catch"), she assumes she's above prejudice. Even when she goes too far, committing an act that comes from the far edge of her embittered personality, she fails to acknowledge what she's become. Only in the last scene, on a vigilante mission with Dixon that seems both justified and crazed, does she start to question the validity of her righteousness.
The film revolves around Mildred, but Dixon may be its most compelling character. He's the bad cop to Willoughby's good cop: racist, impulsive, and violent. Interestingly, he shares two of those qualities with Mildred. Though his outrage does not arise from a moral sensibility as does hers, he functions here as an imperfect mirror image of Mildred and commits his own heinous act that parallels hers. That makes for two felonies, neither addressed by the authorities.
Dixon, too, is more than meets the eye. He may not be the brightest bulb in the box (his mother points out he was held back a year to make his police academy stint a long six years), but he's a fan of classical music. Deep down he wants to be a detective, not just a grunt cop. He handles facial disfigurement with remarkable equanimity. He struggles with an over-bearing, hen-pecking, porch-sitting mother (a wonderfully comic Sandy Martin), who goads him to action. By the end of the film, he's bonded with Mildred, his former nemesis (and alter ego) and, like her, come to understand just how difficult it is to know what's true and to effect justice.
The film's other pleasures are lesser, but real enough. It's an Irish black comedy, transplanted to a small town in rural America. Anglo-Irish writer and director Martin McDonagh fills the movie with earthy, dirty language and violence. Appropriately, many of the minor characters are sharp-tongued and witty. Unlike most films, "Three Billboards" features a cast of secondary characters that elicit feelings in the viewer. Adding dimension to the story, besides the dwarf and Mama Dixon, are Red, the young billboard salesman (Caleb Landry Jones, "Get Out!"), Mildred's son (always excellent Lucas Hedges, "Manchester by the Sea"), her ex-husband (a menacing John Hawkes) and his trophy girlfriend (a hilarious Samara Weaving, an Australian who gets the accent right).
Ebbing itself, like Winesburg, Ohio in Sherwood Anderson's 1919 short story cycle, is a character in "Three Billboards," portraying a small, dense community where everyone knows who everybody is and everything they've done. But do they, when they might not even know themselves?
Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri ★★★1/2 Written and directed by Martin McDonagh. With Frances McDormand, Woody Harrelson, Sam Rockwell, Peter Dinkage, Abbie Cornish, Caleb Landry Jones, Lucas Hedges, Sandy Martin, Samara Weaving, and John Hawkes.
About the Author: William Graebner & Dianne Bennett
William Graebner and Dianne Bennett cowrote the "Critic's Notebook" column from 2016 through mid-2019.


It was a pleasure to create this International Tribute Video to Angie & Julie for their two decades of AEA leadership.
Thank you so much to Gary Glassman and Mushi Harush!!!!!
In the 1970s, I participated multiple times in the annual conference of the American Swimming Coaches Association (ASCA). From this time, I felt Americans' high level of professional awareness, outstanding organizational abilities, and strong leadership skills. Therefore, I look a strong interest when Ruth Sova launched the Aquatic Exercise Association (AEA) in the mid-1980s.
In the 1990s, I had the good fortune of being able to invite Ruth to Japan. In preparation, I visited the United States multiple times. There, I was able to experience the AEA educational system, and came to strongly desire to implement the same one in Japan. In 1991, my wishes came true and the Japanese AEA was launched. Since then, an AEA certification-training course has been carried out periodically (three times yearly in February, June, and November). In the 23 years since it began, a total of 1090 Japanese people have become AEA-certified.
Since 1991, continuing education training sessions have been held six times a year. People can become instructors by applying on their own or being recommended by others. They are emerging one after another, playing a significant role in mutual education. Those with especially good reputations work as instructors at the biannual AEA domestic conference, and exceptionally talented people among them also present at the International Aquatic Fitness Conference (IAFC). 28 AEA-certified Japanese instructors have become presenters, and are active as top leaders in Japan's world of aquatic exercises.
This is one of AEA's features: an educational system that continually raises outstanding top leaders. Prominent AEA top leaders from both the United States and Europe are occasionally invited to Japan to carry out high-quality refresher training sessions. This considerably contributes to AEA's status as the sole organization with international influence.
In the mid-1990s, there was a generational transition in leadership at the AEA: the organization went from the era of Rush and Vicky to that of Julie and Angie. The content of the IAFC, AEA's annual conference, also changed considerably. However, the spirit of the organization that has existed since its founding lives on, has become even stronger, and is growing considerably. It is my hope that with strong pride and confidence Japan continues to produce many outstanding top leaders as an AEA member nation.

Q: Hardware breakpoints vs Software breakpoints in embedded systems My understanding is that inserting software breakpoints involves replacing the next instruction in code to be executed by a software interrupt instruction which will cause the CPU to halt when it reaches that instruction.
Hardware breakpoints involve putting the address of the next instruction after the breakpoint to be executed into a register and when the addresses match, via the use of a hardware comparator, this then causes the CPU to halt (Correct me if i'm wrong).
What i'm confused about is, do we only use hardware breakpoints when using a hardware debugger to debug a board via JTAG for example? Or can JTAG use software breakpoints also?
Is GDB only used with software breakpoints, or can it be used also in conjunction with JTAG? Sorry if the question is a bit broad.

A: Breakpoint Definition
In the context of this article, let's agree on a unified definition of a breakpoint. The breakpoints discussed here are Program locations where we want the processor to halt so that we can do some sort of debugging. There could be other types of breakpoints, such as ones that are triggered by a data access, but in this article, we will discuss only Program Breakpoints, locations in our application code where we want to halt every time that code is encountered.
Hardware vs. Software Breakpoints
What's the difference between a hardware and a software breakpoint? Well, the obvious answer is "A hardware breakpoint is implemented in hardware" and "A software breakpoint is implemented in software". But what exactly does that mean, and what are the ramifications of it? Why would I choose one over the other?
Hardware Breakpoints
A Hardware Breakpoint is really implemented by special logic that is integrated into the device. You can think of a hardware breakpoint as a set of programmable comparators that are connected to the program address bus. These comparators are programmed with a specific address value. When the code is executing, and all of the bits in the address on the program address bus match the bits programmed into the comparators, the Hardware breakpoint logic generates a signal to the CPU to Halt.
The advantage of using a hardware breakpoint is that it can be used in any type of memory. This might make more sense after Software breakpoints are discussed. When we discuss software breakpoints, we will find that they are only usable in Volatile memory. Hardware Breakpoints can be used regardless of whether the code being executed is in RAM or ROM, because to the hardware breakpoint logic, there is no difference. It's just matching an address on the PAB and halting the CPU when it finds one.
The disadvantage of the HWBP is, because they are implemented in hardware, there are a limited number available. The number of HWBPs available differ from architecture to architecture, but in most cases there are only 2-8 available. The simplest way to figure out how many a device has is to connect to it in CCS and keep setting HWBPs until you get an error message that there are none available.
Software Breakpoints
As mentioned, a Software Breakpoint is implemented in software. But how is that done? There are actually a 2 different implementations.
Some devices reserve a specified bit in their opcode definition that indicates a Software breakpoint. As an example, in one architecture of the C6000 family, all instructions are 32 bits long, and bit 28 is reserved to indicate a software breakpoint, so all instructions in that instruction set have bit 28 as a zero. In this case, when a software breakpoint is set in CCS, it will actually modify the opcode of the instruction at that location and set bit 28 to a 1. The Emulation logic then monitors the Program Opcode for whenever bit 28 is a 1, and halts the CPU when that occurs. Note that this is a minority case. Most architectures don't do it this way. The reason is that it limits the flexibility of the instruction set. Also, it doesn't work for architectures that have variable length instructions, so it also limits code density.
The more popular way of implementing a software breakpoint is also much more complex. In this scenario, there is a specified breakpoint opcode. Typically, the opcode is 8-bits. Whenever a breakpoint is set, the leading 8 bits of the instruction at that location are removed and replaced with this 8-bit breakpoint opcode. The original 8-bits of the instruction are then stored in a breakpoint table. Whenever a breakpoint is encountered, the CPU halts and CCS replaces the breakpoint opcode with the original 8-bits of the instruction. When execution is restarted, CCS must do a bit of trickery because the instruction in the actual CPU pipeline isn't correct. It still has the breakpoint opcode. So CCS flushes the CPU pipeline and then re-fetches the instructions that were pending in them to their original state, with the next function to be executed being the one where the breakpoint was set. At the same time, CCS re-loads the instruction at that location with the breakpoint opcode so that the next time this code is encountered, it will again halt.
The advantage of the SWBP is that there is an unlimited number of them, so you can put them in as many places as you like. The disadvantage is that you can't put them in non-volatile memory like ROM/FLASH, etc, because CCS can't write the opcode to the location.
http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/How_Do_Breakpoints_Work

A:
"correct me if I'm wrong"

A breakpoint is set on the instruction, not after it - the break occurs before the instruction is executed, not after - otherwise setting a breakpoint on a jump, call or branch instruction would fail.

"do we only use hardware breakpoints when using a hardware debugger to debug a board via JTAG for example?"

JTAG is a simple communication interface to the on-chip debug (and is used for other purposes such as in-circuit memory and FPGA programming and boundary-scan for example).
While it may vary between architectures on ARM Cortex-M for example, you can access the on-chip debug registers from the target code and set hardware breakpoints.  Yoiu can also place software break points in your code using the BKPT instruction (as opposed to a SWI as you suggest).

Or can JTAG use software breakpoints also?

As I said, JTAG is just a communication interface to the on-chip debug, however through the on-chip debug, you can directly set any RAM content, so the JTAG connected debugger software running on the development host can temporarily modify code in RAM to set a software breakpoint (by replacing the target instruction with a BKPT, then when the breakpoint is hit, reverting back to the original instruction so it can be executed.  Software breakpoints are not so straightforward for code running from ROM, though some debuggers support unlimited ROM breakpoints (for a price) - the manufacturers of such hardware do not necessarily publicise the methods they use to do that.
Before JTAG and on-chip debug became widely available on evebnlow-end parts, technologies such as In-Circuit Emulation and ROM emulators were used.  These were generally expensive and complex solutions.

Is GDB only used with software breakpoints, or can it be used also in conjunction with JTAG?

GDB can be used in a number of ways.  It requires a "debug stub" - a software layer mapping the debugger software to the available hardware - the nature of which will depend on the debug interface and target device used.  When using a UART or Ethernet port for example, the stub is actually code running on the target itself (such as Linux's gdbserver).  In that case it is less reliable since software errors may prevent the debug port driver from actually running especially in targets lacking MMU protection.  Simpler JTAG devices interface with GDB through a stub running on the development host, for example the commonly used OpenOCD software.  More expensive JTAG debug hardware may run the stub on the JTAG hardware itself - such as Abatron's bdi2000 for example.   Either way the debug stub will be able to use hardware and software breakpoints depending on the target capabilities.

Homemade pizza has been a favorite meal in my family and usually becomes a weekly event! A couple of months ago I came across an amazing artichoke pizza recipe, courtesy of Whole Foods Market.
This recipe uses low fat turkey sausage and a whole wheat crust, making it a great healthy alternative to your average pizza recipe. The best part is that its healthy yet doesn't sacrifice any flavor! It has become one of my favorite pizza recipe's, and I hope you will enjoy it to!
What is your favorite pizza recipe?
Step 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Roll out pizza dough and brush with olive oil.
Step 2. Top first with diced tomatoes then add red onion, artichoke hearts, and sausage.
Step 3. Sprinkle over mozzarella cheese and Italian seasoning.
Step 4. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until cheese is bubbly and golden.
Step 5. Cut and serve!
Andrea, I just want you to know that I returned to WA yesterday, and Anna has already started making cake pops and we are planning on making a Goodwill run for silk ties this evening... all inspired by you!
just made this and a hearts of romaine salad for dinner tonight!! DISH-DELISH!!
Do you use store bought pizza dough and if so what kind do you like? If you make it at home what is your recipe? I have yet to find one I really love, store bought or homemade).
Wow! That looks delish. I've got to try it.

Adding Access Points: Non-Ethernet
The last, at perhaps most dreaded step from both a cost and complexity view, is going to a multiple AP setup. Not long ago, a multiple-AP setup meant running CAT5 Ethernet cable and AC power to each location where an AP was to be located. Because of the expense (and permanence) involved in running that cabling, advance planning in the form of a site survey had to first be done. Given the work involved, most home networkers unhappily put up with their WLAN's performance idiosyncracies, or gave up in frustration and returned their wireless gear altogether.
But this option really isn't as hard to implement as it used to be due to the emergence of Ethernet alternatives that use other wires already running through your home's walls, i.e. phone and power.
HomePNA (HPNA) equipment uses your telephone wiring to carry digital data at a maximum raw bit rate of 10Mbps, which typically yields a useable data rate of about 5Mbps. HPNA doesn't interfere with the phone line's normal use for voice, data, FAX, or even DSL, and doesn't even require the phone line to actually be in service.
HomePlug products operate in a similar way to HPNA, but use AC power wiring instead of phone lines. HomePlug has a 14Mbps max raw data rate, but delivers useable bandwidth similar to HPNA's.
Both technologies are used in a similar way to get a wired connection to a remote access point. Figure 5 shows an example setup.
Figure 5: Adding an AP using Powerline networking
The diagram shows the basic idea when using alternative networking methods, using a powerline-based example. A HomePlug to Ethernet Bridge connects your Ethernet LAN to the power line on one end, and a second Bridge is used to connect the remote AP. More APs can be added by duplicating the remote HomePlug Bridge / AP pairs.
An HPNA-based setup would look essentially the same, with HPNA to Ethernet Bridges (and connection to a common phone line!) substituted for the HomePlug Bridges and their AC connections.
There are many variations on this basic setup. You can use a separate router and AP, or even a wireless router with built-in HomePlug bridge such as SpeedStream's 2524 Powerline Wireless DSL/Cable Router. Speedstream also has its 2521 Powerline 802.11b Wireless Access Point, which combines an 802.11b AP and HomePlug-to-Ethernet bridge in a "wall-wart" sized package!
I prefer HomePlug based setups to those based on HPNA, mainly because they're more flexible - you can usually find a power outlet in every room, but not a phone jack. I also really like the mini-AP mentioned above because it's just so darned easy to move around! Who needs to spend a lot of time planning where to put additional APs when all you need to do is unplug it from one outlet and move it to another?
The downside of both HPNA and Powerline approaches, however, is that they won't work for everyone. Both phone and especially power wiring is not exactly the best electrical medium for high-speed data signals (I think it borders on magic that this stuff even works at all!). Folks with older homes especially may find that their HPNA or HomePlug based networks run too slowly to be of practical use, if they even run at all! Range can be limited too, sometimes preventing their use for LAN extension to a backyard office or free-standing garage.


Tipping (propina) is not customary in Spain, and it is not frequently done among natives. In bars and small restaurants, Spaniards leave as a tip the small change they receive in a plate after paying the bill. No tips are expected outside the restaurant business. Increasly tips are becoming expected in cabs, hairdressers, etc.

Q: JavaFX: Проблема с ссылкой на класс-контроллер Доброго времени суток, пишу чат на JavaFX и возникла проблема: Я хочу из главного класса управлять элементами на форме, для этого я создаю поле класса контроллера, объявляю getter для него, а потом при нажатии кнопки в контроллере передаю ссылку этому полю на сам класс, но почему-то при любом действии с компонентами GUI возникает NPE

Делал все вот по этой рекомендации:

clientController - ссылка на сам контроллер в главном классе.
в onMouseClientClicked происходит присваивание ссылки на текущий контроллер полю clientController в главном классе
Очень прошу помощи, так как  отстаю по лабам из-за этого, а все на Swing делают =(

A: Возможно Вам поможет данный код:
FXMLLoader fxmlLoader = new FXMLLoader();
AnchorPane root = (AnchorPane) fxmlLoader.load(getClass().getResource("client.fxml"));
MyController myController = (MyController) fxmlLoader.getController();
myController.setScene(scene);

Используйте его для загрузки вместо данных строчек:
Parent root = FXMLLoader.load(getClass().getResource("client.fxml"));

A: Предпологаю, что проблема в том, что FXMLLoader прогрузил два независящих друг от друга контроллера. Вариант решения: в client.fxml уберите упоминание контроллера, а в ClientController.java замените инициализацию:
//Parent root = FXMLLoader.load(getClass().getResource("client.fxml"));
FXMLLoader loader = new FXMLLoader( getClass().getResource("client.fxml") );
loader.setController( this );
Parent root = loader.load();

THE CITIES WITHIN

Your Life as a Lean Startup
Hi and welcome back! You may notice that occasionally I include forewords like this to "talk" to you directly and prime you before the actual article. Don't be alarmed, it's one of the things I'm testing (staying true to the topic of today's story). As always, please take a moment to disconnect socially before reading this story. If helpful, take 30 seconds to breathe in and out deeply, clearing your mind. Ready? Let's begin.
For those familiar with the concept of the lean startup, forgive me as I take a moment to get the others who aren't up to speed so this story today will make at least some sense to all readers. The idea of the lean startup, in one sentence, centres on a method of creating and managing startups and getting a desired product to customers' hands faster. The approach was pioneered around the time of the Dotcom boom, and formalized by technologist and entrepreneur Eric Ries in his international best seller The Lean Startup. In the book, Ries gives many case examples of how a firm, startup or not, can rapidly test, iterate, and launch a product in order to minimize waste and the risk of making "something nobody wants". A concrete example Ries drew from his own experience at IMVU was taking months to build a chat function for users (that nobody really cared for).
I'm not going to give case examples or preach the lean startup methodology today – there are boatloads of books, organizations, and websites dedicated to that and I'm by no means an expert or veteran. However, I do understand it with enough clarity to reference it as an analogy, through reading the aforementioned book, working at Electric 8 (Singapore-based digital growth practice), and in general my interactions with entrepreneurs and VCs. Using the lean startup analogy, I'm going to attempt to inspire you to try to look at your life from a new angle today. Specifically, I'd like to challenge you to see your own life as a lean startup.
In software development, waterfall development is an approach in which the product team plans extensively all the components to build for a product, engage in months and months of intensive development and resource investment, and then after 4-12 months of hard work, do the grand unveiling and ship the product to market. Unfortunately, it runs into the very problem that the lean startup approach addresses: customers may not even want your product and you've just wasted a whole bunch of time, money, and energy. If you think about it -- really think about it -- many people's lives are lived in a "waterfall" style. You spend years getting a Bachelor's degree with the idea of doing one thing by the end of it, without really testing or trying it. After 4 years, you've entered the job market, and effectively committed yourself to a job that may or may not be fulfilling for 2, 5, or even up to 10 years. That's a pretty big gamble, if you ask me.
Tell me if this next part sounds familiar to you. A 20-year-old student attends his classes, does group and individual assignments, and takes exams. When he's not in school or doing schoolwork, he's on Facebook, chilling with his buddies or girlfriend, watching a series on Netflix or TV, playing video games, eating out a lot, and occasionally traveling for leisure. Two years later, he joins a bank because that's the only offer he got when interviewing with different firms, and the only reason he applied to the bank is because they were recruiting on campus.
What this guy could've done with some of his free time, instead of playing video games (there's nothing wrong with that by the way), is go get some experience at a small (or big, if he's lucky) firm to test the waters. Through iterations of different experiences including part-time jobs, internships, and job-shadowing, this guy could've figured out what product he really wanted (read, job he really wanted) by graduation.
Even though the example I gave is in a college setting, this "life as a lean startup" mentality can be applied by anyone at any age and any stage of their career. If you are working 9-5 (or worse yet, 9-much later), you could always a Friday afternoon or the weekend to dip your toes into something new that you think you may like. Learn more about it by listening or doing. I launched TCW less than a month ago, and already I'm getting hands on experience managing a website and a brand. I didn't have to quit a full-time job, stop everything I was doing, or banish all relationships just to do this. It takes little effort and lots of consistency. Obviously, you can't be experimenting your whole life. At some point, you will need to commit to something, but if you've gone through this process of testing different experiences, I promise you will be much more certain that whatever you end up choosing to do will be much more fulfilling.

Moray politicians go head to head over poverty figures
2nd July 2014 by insideMoray
A Moray politician is attacking the Scottish Government after highlighting a National Statistics publication this week that indicates one in every five Scottish children are living in poverty.
Labour councillor Sean Morton, who has already announced that he will stand for the Scottish Labour Party in the Moray seat at the UK General Election next year, says that new figures should leave little doubt that people in Moray are "stuck between two governments".
Meanwhile Moray's SNP MP, Angus Robertson, has insisted that the blame for the poverty increase was entirely down to the policies of the UK Government – and demonstrated why a Yes vote in September was essential.
Following the publication of the figures Labour's social justice spokeswoman at the Scottish Parliament, Jackie Baillie, said: "It is completely unacceptable that one million Scots are now living in poverty.
"This substantial increase should shame the SNP into using the powers they already have to tackle an issue which blights Scotland.
"With almost one in five children now living in poverty and 10,000 more pensioners struggling to make ends meet it is disgraceful that the Deputy First Minister's response was essentially that all will be better under independence. They can and should act now."
Councillor Morton added: "People struggling in Moray find themselves stuck between two governments, the Tories at Westminster and the SNP at Holyrood, with the wrong priorities.
"The SNP failed to act quickly enough to mitigate the impact of the Tories bedroom tax in Scotland and did so only after vigorous campaigns and intervention from Labour.
"In addition the Scottish Welfare fund had a massive underspend and the fuel poverty budget was not spent at a time when 900,000 households were in fuel poverty.
"This is all happening because the SNP put independence before everything else. Labour has a proud record of tackling poverty, with dramatic and consistent improvements under Labour governments in both Holyrood and Westminster.
"Sadly, with a Tory government intent on penalising the poor and an SNP government more concerned about independence than improving the lives of ordinary Scots, all Labour's hard-work is in danger of being undone."
However, Angus Robertson MP said the figures underlined that the independence referendum is a choice between taking action to reduce poverty in Scotland – or sticking with a Westminster government that is happy to waste billions on replacing Trident.
The Moray MP said: "On the day we learn that another 30,000 children in Scotland have been pushed into poverty as a result of Westminster's welfare cuts, we find that Westminster also plans to spend £4billion a year on weapons of mass destruction within a few years.
"The report from Westminster party grandees is absolutely right to say that they need to be transparent about the costs to the public purse.
"This study crystallizes the choice we face in the referendum in September. With a Yes vote we can rid ourselves of the moral and economic obscenity of Trident and invest the vast sums of money saved in building a fairer and more prosperous Scotland.
"With one million people in Scotland now living in relative poverty, there can no longer be any doubt that the need to make our own decisions on tax and welfare is real and urgent.
"Westminster has shown that it simply cannot be trusted to stand up for the poorest people in society."

Hamilton, Bermuda (November 16, 2016) – The first day of the Aspen Viper 640 International Championship sponsored by EFG is in the books…but the pages are a bit soggy. As the sailors gathered for the opening competitors meeting, the first line of rain showers was in attendance too. Welcome to the land of Dark 'N' Stormys.
Being run in conjunction with the Viper 640 North American Championship and hosted by the Royal Bermuda Yacht Club and the Royal Hamilton Amateur Dinghy Club, 42 Viper 640 sportboats from around the world headed out to the Great Sound for the first day of racing. The westerly they faced sailing out soon turned to a southerly with gusts into the 20-knot range only to have winds dissipated by repeated lines of rain crossing the Sound.
PRO Hank Stuart and his team started the first race of the regatta on time with a mile course that saw Zeke Horowitz (Annapolis, MD), sailing with Brendan Healey and Ian Coleman, take the lead at the first mark; a position they would hold throughout the day.
Two races were run before the wind (and rain) died out. The weather was shifty; the direction was anywhere from 145-300, ranged from 3-12 knots during racing and was held in flat water just to the southeast of Pearl Island.
Behind Horowitz in second, with eight points, is Justin Scott (Great Britain via Darien, CT) sailing with Rob Crane and Trevor Burd with a 2-6 scoreline. Tied for third with 13 points are Geoff Fargo (Santa Barbara, CA), sailing with Jeff Grange and Spencer Steffan, and Bruce Mattinson (Albany, WA, Australia) with Arlyn Mattinson, Ben Marler, and Keith Swinton as crew.
Topping the Corinthian division is Fargo followed by the team of Peter Beardsley, Jay Rhame, Rachel Beardsley, and Rachel Rhame in second and Somers Kempe, Adam Barboza, Debbie Barboza in third.
Day 2 of the Aspen Viper 640 International Championship is scheduled for tomorrow with early winds predicted to be in excess of 30 knots but moderating later with…wait for it…more rain.
Racing is scheduled for November 16 to 19.

Journalist Akhmednabi Akhmednabiev killed in Russia
BY ANDREI ALIAKSANDRAU
Akhmednabi Akhmednabiev, a well-known Russian journalist who reported on human rights violations in the Caucasus, was shot dead near his house around 7am local time today. Andrei Aliaksandrau reports
An unknown person fired numerous shots at the journalist, who was driving just 50 metres away from his house in a suburb of Makhachkala, the capital of Dagestan, one of the Caucasian republics of the Russian Federation.
Police believe the murder may be connected to Akhmednabiev's journalistic activities.
Akhmednabi Akhmednabiev was Deputy Editor of "Novoe Delo" (New Business) magazine and a reporter for website "Kavkazskiy Uzel" (Caucasian Knot).
His name appeared on the so-called "execution list" of 16 lawyers, journalists and human rights defenders, mentioned in leaflets disseminated anonymously in 2009 in Dagestan. Gadjimurad Kamalov the publisher of the "Chernovik" independent newspaper whose name also appeared on the list, was killed in December 2011.
Akhmednabiev received threats of death in May 2012. In January this year he survived an assassination, when his car was fired on.
"There are serious suspicions about who was involved in Akhmednabiev's assassination, as he actively reported on human rights violations and repressions against Muslims by the police and Russian army," Abdulla Duduev, the Chief Editor of DOSH magazine, told Index. "No one believes this is simply the act of criminal gunmen."
In a statement, Memorial Human Rights Centre said: "Murdering a journalist is always cruel; it is even crueller as it happened on the first day of Ramadan, a sacred month for all Muslims. Akhmednabi Akhmednabiev was one of the few journalists in Dagestan who reported on 'anti-terror' measures and how 'fighting terrorism' was used as a pretext for persecution of religious communities and mass violations of human rights."
Russia remains one of the most dangerous countries in the world for journalists. According to the Committee to Protect Journalists, 54 reporters have been killed in Russia since 1992, with 16 cases still unsolved.
Index on Censorship calls on Russian authorities to investigate Akhmednabi Akhmednabiev's murder and bring those who ordered and implemented it account. Impunity must be stopped, and journalists and human rights defenders should be protected
