Q: How do I testing large complex code? I have a legacy code that contains little more than a 8700 lines with each method on average around 200-300 lines long. I was wondering how am I able to cover most of those code even to get an output of a successful result.
For example:
    public class Aviation implements FlightStruct, FlightSystem extends Vehicles {
    ...var decoration...
    ...override method definitions...

    public controls aviation(Flight request, Flight destination, Flight target) {

    FlightResponse flightResponse = new FlightResponse();

    flightResponse.speed = target.speed;
    angularVel.calculate(greatCircle.flightResponse.speed);
    _readVelData();
    if (vel.circular.velocity <= 10000) {
    for(countryName : country) {
    calculateArrivalTime();
    _readFuel();
    if(fuel.limit < pwi.percent*100) {
           createShortPathLandingPoint(Path newDestination, Register checkPoint);
       }
    }
}
    private eqiptment company(String name, Vendor vendor) {
    ....calculate equiptment stuff that calls bunch of private methods
    }

 ...alot more method here
    }
}

I was wondering how should I go about to unit test these kind of code?
I have attempted to stubb data but the inner method is too complicated to walk through. Usually one method calls down multiple layers of sub methods.
For example....
the fuel class calls _readfuel and in _readfuel it calls destinationCheckPoint, flightWayPoint, flightSpeedCalc...then in each of those sub method it calls its own sub method. (ex. flightWaypoint calls calculateWayPoint, angVelocity, speedLimit, ....)
Overall I do not think this is doable by stubbing the data because finding the right data is difficult.
Then My second option was to use Mockito to mock the method / classes. Which sounds more reasonable to do, but again I encounter where there are multiple sub method which are private...and mockito cannot mock the private method. I then attempted to use PowerMockito to mock the private method it work for a few thousand lines and there was something like this:
while (!report.successful && !telCList.isEmpty()) {
...
report.wayPoint = update.assignWayPoint(wayPointList); //null point exception
...

where the update was null and few hundred lines above it was declared
 UpdateGateWay update = setDestinationWayPoint(distance, speed, altitude);

setDestinationWayPoint is a private method and I use powerMockito to mock the behavior I have also returned the value as part of the stub. but when it get called below it become null.
I pretty much give up at this point. I was wondering if there would be more reasonable way to do this type of testing....

A: Writing worthwhile de novo unit tests for a legacy codebase that you don't understand is a difficult task.  Especially, if the code is a mess; e.g. "each method on average around 200-300 lines long".
The problem is how to figure out what the methods >>should<< do with sufficient accuracy to write the unit tests.  Unfortunately, that often requires deeper insight than simply understanding how the code as written behaves.
It is not an impossible task, but it could be a lot of work ... depending on the code's intrinsic complexity, the quality of the original design, the requirements, the problem domain, etcetera.
A possible alternative would be to treat the code-base as a black box.  Instead of writing unit tests, write system tests based on a number of "typical" scenarios; e.g. if you start with database state X and provide input I, expect output O and new database state X'.  Each time you need to make a change to the legacy codebase, add a new system test.

I was wondering how am I able to cover most of those code even to get an output of a successful result.

I think you have a couple of misconceptions here.

*

*When unit testing, the percentage of code covered is less important than people expect.  The goal should be to cover the code where the bugs are likely to be.

*"Successful result" of what? Of an individual method call?  That assumes that you know what the result should be.  That can be difficult, especially if the method has side effects that you aren't aware of or don't understand.

One final point is that some code is inherently difficult to write unit tests for.  Typically, it is code that ought to be rewritten.  A codebase of 8,700 lines is (realistically) not that large, and could be a candidate for a rewrite.  (You can treat the existing code as a "working prototype" ... in the absence of a decent set of functional requirements.)

A: This is a tough one. This answer will almost certainly over-simplify the nature of your problem you're trying to cover, but hopefully it'll point you in the right direction.
Generally speaking, if I were tasked with covering this code with tests, I'd start by trying to track down some software requirements that thoroughly describe the intended behavior of the software. Then I'd write some high-level integration style tests to cover the intended behavior plus all documented edge-cases. The only stubs I'd use in this test would be for calls to external systems. I wouldn't really be thinking in unit-test terms at this stage.
The trick here is to think about the software you're trying to cover with tests in terms of discreet groups of functionality. Once you've identified those groups, then writing tests for each of those groups becomes a matter of identifying what the boundaries of functionality are, then exercising those pieces of functionality with integration tests. Basically, at this stage, what you should be concerned with are inputs and outputs to systems (or functions, if that level of granularity makes sense), and not be too concerned with the specific implementation details. An example could be: "When I call this function, I expect there to be a new record in the database with these exact properties."
In a complex system, you can definitely expect to see some overlap in your integration tests, but at this stage, that's okay. All you're trying to do is ensure that, as you refactor these long functions into smaller units, the functionality of the system does not change in unintended ways (or break). In other words, you want to ensure that the behavior of the system after you start to refactor these pieces is exactly the same as it was before you started.
Once your integration tests are in place, hopefully you've gotten to know the behavior of the system (or part of the system) well enough that you can identify discreet units of behavior within the large complex functions you referred to in your question. This will also give you an opportunity to extract any duplication which might be present. The more thoroughly your integration tests cover the behavior and edge cases, the more confident you can be in refactoring.
Once you get to this stage and you start to identify individual units of functionality, then it makes sense to start thinking about unit tests. This is also the stage when mocking and stubbing makes a lot more sense for testing internal APIs (i.e. mocking inter-domain API boundaries in addition to inter-system API boundaries).
Again - this is a huge over-simplification of a topic that I'm sure entire books have been written on, but I hope this helps you gain some directional insight at a high-level.

John Thomas Troy (Dublín, 10 de mayo de 1739 - 11 de mayo de 1823) fue un prelado católico irlandés, de la Orden de los Predicadores, que ocupó la sede de la arquidiócesis de Dublín.

Biografía
John Thomas Troy nació en la localidad de Porterstown, en el Condado de Dublín en Irlanda, el 10 de mayo de 1739. A los quince años fue a estudiar a Roma, donde conoció la Orden de los Predicadores (dominicos). Estudió filosofía, teología y derecho canónico. Fue nombrado lector de filosofía y ordenado sacerdote en 1762.

El papa Pío VI le nombró obispo de Ossory el 16 de diciembre de 1776, con sede en Kilkenny. Fue consagrado el 8 de junio de 1777, de manos del arzobispo Ignazio Busca, nuncio apostólico en Bélgica. En este cargo combatió fuertemente las rebeliones que se desataron contra el gobierno y contra la iglesia, por parte de los agricultores. El medio de represión usado por el obispo fue el diálogo y la instrucción de los niños y jóvenes. el celo por corregir los abusos en la diócesis le ganaron fama en Roma y enemistad entre los miembros de su clero. Gracias a esta fama le nombraron administrador apostólico de la dióceis de Armagh.

A la muerte del arzobispo John Carpenter, el papa Pío VI nombró a Troy arzobispo de Dublín (19 de diciembre de 1786). Durante su gobierno, el arzobispo continuó con su línea antiviolenta, razón por la cual se negó a asociarse con los movimientos católicos de John Keogh, en 1798 emitió una sentencia de excomunión contra los que participaron en la Rebelión irlandesa de 1798. La posición de Troy se debía a que él estaba convencido de que emancipación católica nunca podría ser reconocida por el parlamento irlandés, razón por la cual fue uno de los partidarios más decididos de la Unión. De hecho, su posición pacifista ejerció una influencia en el gobierno, lo que le permitió moderar las medidas represivas tomadas por las autoridades.

La persona del arzobispo de Dublín se mostraba más conciliadora entre el gobierno y los rebeldes. En 1799, por ejemplo, accedió a aceptar el veto del gobierno sobre el nombramiento de los obispos irlandeses. Pero, por otra parte, se mostró a favor de la elección de Daniel Murray, opositor del mismo, como su coadjutor. En abril de 1805, el prelado inició la construcción de la catedral de Santa María. Murió el 11 de mayo de 1823 y fue sepultado en la catedral, aun sin terminar.

There are endless possibilities with respect to winemaking. Denis Hoey's openness and commitment is what drives the winery to produce cutting edge wines of top quality.
Odonata Wines is a small family winery owned and operated by Denis Hoey. Denis is also the winemaker.
Denis, a native of Sacramento, grew up in a family that appreciated wines and exposed him to a wide range of quality wines that helped develop his palate. In 2004 he graduated from the University of California, Santa Cruz with a degree in Business Management and soon after met Jeff Emery, owner and winemaker at Santa Cruz Mountain Vineyard. Their relationship quickly turned into an Old World apprenticeship for Denis, and he became the production manager for SCMV before starting Odonata Wines in Santa Cruz 2005.
He learned many of his cellar practices at Bison Organic Brewery in Berkeley working with a much more perishable product. This taught him the importance of giving careful attention to spoilage organisms. His continuing education involves following current trends in winemaking research from the major universities. He has traveled to Italy and France on several occasions to gain a broader perspective about European winemaking techniques and varietal fidelity. He maintains a sharp palate for quality and the nuances of wines by tasting, tasting, and more tasting. He continues to challenge himself to make better wine by learning from what others are doing well--or not so well!

America's pandemic dead deserve accountability after Birx disclosure
Jeffrey Brown March 29, 2021 in Geopolitics
Jeffrey Brown + 207
https://www.cnn.com/2021/03/29/politics/coronavirus-deborah-birx-donald-trump-joe-biden/index.html
(CNN)The hundreds of thousands of citizens whose deaths from Covid-19 could have been avoided are owed national and political accountability, but the polarization of America that exacerbated the pandemic threatens to deprive them of their due.
A haunting admission by Dr. Deborah Birx in a new CNN documentary that after last year's first infectious wave, the death toll could have been substantially reduced, will prove harrowing for those who lost loved ones. It also throws new scrutiny on the negligent management of the pandemic by former President Donald Trump and his willingness to put economic and political goals above science and the public well-being.
Revelations by Birx, a highly respected international health expert before she became coronavirus response coordinator for the Trump White House, and by her colleagues who spoke to CNN in "COVID WAR: The Pandemic Doctors Speak Out," which aired Sunday night, represent the most intimate view yet inside Trump's chaotic and feudal White House when Covid-19 struck.
"I look at it this way. The first time we have an excuse," Birx told CNN Chief Medical Correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta. "There were about a hundred thousand deaths that came from that original surge. All of the rest of them, in my mind, could have been mitigated or decreased substantially."

https://www.aol.com/news/cdc-director-speaks-impending-doom-153120133-155036670.html
Dr. Rochelle Walensky, head of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, with emotion in her voice, urged public officials and others to spread the word about the seriousness of the situation in an effort to prevent a fourth surge.
She said the United States surpassed 30 million cases of COVID-19 on Sunday, and that the seven-day average of new cases was slightly less than 60,000 cases per day - a 10 percent increase compared with the prior seven-day period. Hospitalizations also increased and deaths started to rise.
"I'm going to lose the script and I'm going to reflect on the recurring feeling I have of impending doom," Walensky told a briefing with reporters. "Right now I'm scared."
Officials cited states opening up their economies and loosening COVID restrictions prematurely, along with an increase in travel, as reasons for the uptick.

WSJ: Covid-19 Variant Rages in Brazil, Posing Global Risk
https://www.wsj.com/articles/covid-19-variant-rages-in-brazil-posing-global-risk-11616845889
PORTO ALEGRE, Brazil—Brazil is in the throes of a battle against the new Covid-19 variant from the Amazon that threatens to send shock waves across the globe.
Home to less than 3% of the world's population, Brazil currently accounts for almost a third of the daily global deaths from Covid-19, driven by the new variant. More than 300,000 have died, and daily deaths now top 3,000, a toll suffered only by the far more populous U.S.
"We're in the trenches here, fighting a war," said Andréia Cruz, a 42-year-old emergency-ward nurse in the southern Brazilian city of Porto Alegre. In the past three weeks alone, the surrounding state of Rio Grande do Sul has seen nearly 5,000 people die from Covid-19, more than in the final three months of last year.
The spread of the virus in Brazil threatens to turn this country of 213 million into a global public-health hazard. The so-called P.1 strain, present in more than 20 countries and identified in New York last week, is up to 2.2 times more contagious and as much as 61% more able to reinfect people than previous versions of the coronavirus, according to a recent study.
The P.1 is now responsible for the majority of new infections in Brazil, with many doctors here saying they are seeing more young and otherwise healthy patients falling ill. About 30% of people dying from Covid-19 are now under 60, compared with an average of about 26% during Brazil's previous peak between June and August, according to official figures analyzed by The Wall Street Journal.
Public health researchers warn this isn't just Brazil's crisis, pointing to what they say is widespread complacency in the U.S. and elsewhere over the risks stemming from Latin America and other unvaccinated swaths of the globe. Brazil has fully vaccinated only 1.8% of its population.
"There is a rush to declare this pandemic is over, and it's not," said William Hanage, a Harvard University epidemiologist. "I dread to think what will happen when P.1 manages to get to [places] that are not likely to get vaccinated for quite some time." . . . .
In the mining state of Minas Gerais, many doctors note a rise in younger and more critically ill patients in comparison to the country's surge of cases in the middle of last year.
"The virus is claiming parents and their children," said Eduardo Lopes, 47, an assistant nurse at one of the main hospitals treating Covid-19 patients in Belo Horizonte.
In Porto Alegre, where at least 60% of new Covid-19 infections are caused by P.1, the number of patients between 40 and 69 years old dying in the city has risen 125.5% since December, while total fatalities rose only 102.7%, according to official data analyzed by Álvaro Krüger Ramos, a mathematician at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul.
TRUMP'S DEPRAVED INDIFFERENCE*
I'm sure everyone has heard about Bob Woodward's book. Following is a link to the Washington Post article:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/bob-woodward-rage-book-trump/2020/09/09/0368fe3c-efd2-11ea-b4bc-3a2098fc73d4_story.html
Carl Bernstein, who of course, along with Woodward, exposed Nixon's crimes during the Watergate investigation, called Trump's actions regarding the virus "Homicidal negligence," and "The worst presidential felony in US history."
"This will be the biggest national security threat you face in your presidency," and "This is going to be the roughest thing you face," national security adviser Robert C. O'Brien told Trump on January 28, according to Bob Woodward.
Again, according Bob Woodward, Matthew Pottinger, the deputy national security adviser, agreed. He told the president that after reaching contacts in China, it was evident that the world faced a health emergency on par with the flu pandemic of 1918, which killed an estimated 50 million people worldwide.
Trump can be heard on a recording telling Woodward on February 7 that the virus was airborne and at least five times more deadly the seasonal flu, describing the Coronavirus as "Deadly stuff." Note that using the 5% COVID-19 fatality number that Trump used in early February, the COVID-19 fatality rate would actually be about fifty (50) times more deadly than the seasonal flu.
On March 25, 2020, Trump told the American public that he wanted the US economy fully reopened by Easter, on April 12. He also publicly described the concern over the virus as a "hoax" and publicly asserted that it was no worse than the flu.
On March 19, Trump admitted to Woodward that he deliberately minimized the danger. "I wanted to always play it down," the president said. Trump told Woodward in the same interview that he understood young people could also suffer severe symptoms from COVID-19. Trump said, on March 19, "Just today and yesterday, some startling facts came out. It's not just old, older. Young people too, plenty of young people,"
President Trump on August 5, 2020 publicly said the exact opposite of what he told Woodward, stating, "If you look at children, children are almost — I would almost say definitely — but almost immune from this disease."
Given the emerging evidence of a possible short-term to long-term cardiac health risk to younger people as a result of exposure to the Coronavirus, the disconnect between Trump's private and public statements regarding the risks to young people may be the most egregious example of his indifference to the health and welfare of American citizens.
Note that South Korea and the US had their first diagnosed COVID-19 cases at the same time. Adjusted for population differences, if we had the same death rate as South Korea, we would have had total COVID deaths to date of about 10,000, instead of approaching a total death count of 550,000.
Trump asserted that he declined to tell the truth about the Coronavirus because he didn't want to cause panic, and he is comparing his response to Churchill's response to the Nazi threat in the Second World War, quoting the phrase, "Keep calm and carry on."
There are at least two problems with this analogy. First, as the Washington Post pointed out, the phrase was actually not used in Great Britain during the war and second, Churchill was brutally honest about the threat posed by the Nazis. For example, in May, 1940 Churchill said, "If this long island story of ours is to end at last, let it end only when each one of us lies choking in his own blood upon the ground".
'Keep calm and carry on': Trump compared himself to Brits in the Blitz. But that phrase was never used in WWII.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2020/09/11/trump-churchill-covid-calm/
Jon Meacham, the author of "Franklin and Winston," a history of Churchill and Franklin Delano Roosevelt's friendship, suggested a Churchill quote that might be more apt to Trump's situation: "The British people can face any misfortune with fortitude & buoyancy as long as they are convinced that those in charge of their affairs are not deceiving them, or are not dwelling in a fool's paradise."
End Excerpt.
Since President Trump has invoked the Second World War, following is a relevant quote from that time period, by Joseph Goebbels:
*A former federal prosecutor has stated that Trump basically confessed to second degree depraved indifference murder regarding the pandemic.

Covid Hospital Cases Rise in 25 States as CDC Sees Fourth Wave
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-03-29/covid-hospital-cases-rise-in-25-states-and-patients-are-younger
Hospitalizations related to Covid-19 are climbing in half of the U.S., the latest sign that the nation's fourth upswing in infections is underway. Patients are younger, and their numbers are rising even in places with high levels of vaccine penetration and past infections.
Rochelle Walensky, head of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, fought back tears at a press briefing Monday as she outlined warning signals, saying she was frightened about such a fourth wave. "We have so much to look forward to, so much promise and potential of where we are and so much reason for hope," she said, "but right now I'm scared."
The seven-day average of hospital admissions with confirmed or suspected Covid-19 increased in 25 states plus the nation's capital and Puerto Rico last week, compared with same period a week earlier, according to U.S. Department of Health and Human Services data through Saturday.
The nationwide seven-day average rose by 1.8% from a week earlier to 10,115. The numbers began rising last week -- albeit subtly -- for the first time since Jan. 11.
The most dramatic surge has come in Michigan, with admissions up 50%, to an average of 379 a day. The situation isn't as bad as what the state saw in November and December, but it's deteriorating quickly.
The next-worst momentum was in South Dakota, where daily admissions rose by 40% to an average of 28, according to the HHS data, which includes both adults and pediatric hospitalizations.
South Dakota's new upswing should end speculation about whether herd immunity is near. The state has given at least one shot of a Covid-19 vaccine to 34% of the population, and more than 47% of the state had already been infected as of late February, according to estimates by independent data scientist Youyang Gu. North Dakota, another state with exceptionally high levels of vaccination and past estimated infections, is also seeing an upswing in hospitalizations.
Nationwide, about two in three patients with laboratory-confirmed Covid-19 are now younger than 65, according to data updated Friday from Covid-Net, a surveillance network covering 14 states.

Former federal prosecutor Glenn Kirschner thinks President Trump's coronavirus admissions should land him in prison. . .
"There are only two elements for second-degree murder. The first is you caused the death of another," Kirschner said Thursday. That factor was fulfilled because Trump "was lying to the American people about the danger this virus posed," and now 190,000 people are dead, Kirschner said.
"The second element is the intent element," which would "get tricky if we didn't have Trump's incriminating admissions," he continued. But "in my opinion as a career prosecutor," Trump admitted to "conscious disregard" of the risk his coronavirus downplay created, thus admitting to "second-degree murder" that he "must be held accountable" for, Kirschner finished.

BTW, an excerpt from the WSJ article up the thread on the P1 variant:
In Araraquara, 19 people under the age of 40 have died from Covid-19 this year, or 8.75% of all fatalities from the disease, compared with only one person in 2020, representing 1.1%.
One of them was Jorge Carbone, a 35-year-old store manager with no previous health problems. Less than two weeks after complaining of a sore throat, he was dead.
"The pain of losing him is unbearable," said Luzia Abud, his 50-year-old aunt. "People are just disappearing,"
Marcos Oling, 47, an Uber driver in Porto Alegre, became infected with P.1 and has been hooked up to oxygen for more than a week, most of which he spent on a wheelchair for lack of spare beds. He said he is frustrated by those not taking the virus seriously.
"People think nothing will happen to them," he said.

She was alone when she passed away in a Rio de Janeiro Hospital -- her mom, Maria da Penha da Silva Siqueira, thinks about that often.
"It never crossed our mind that it would happen to her," said da Silva Siqueira. "It was too fast. This virus does not let us say goodbye."
Da Silva, who left behind a 4-year-old son, died of Covid-19 in June of last year. At the time, hers was a slightly more unusual death.
During the first part of Brazil's struggle with the coronavirus, it was the elderly who made up the majority of those who were getting sick and dying from Covid-19.
But since the new year, Brazil has descended into its worst days of this pandemic so far. Daily death and case numbers have shattered previous records.
And amid that surge, a worrying pattern has emerged—more young people seem to be getting severely ill and dying from Covid-19, doctors tell CNN.
The question is why: Is a new variant infecting more young people and making them sicker? Are young people behaving in ways that make them more likely to become infected? Could it be some combination of both?

There are some people in our lives who are made alive to us, who inspire us, through the writings of those they have met and inspired. The 35th Jagadguru of Sringeri, Jagadguru Sri Abhinava Vidya Tirtha Mahaswamiji, is one such Mahatma in my life.
The book "Yoga, Enlightenment and Perfection" is a record of the saadhanas of the Acharya soon after his ascending the throne of the Sringeri Peetham as the shishya of the 34th Jagadguru Sri Chandrashekara Bharati Mahaswamiji. One of the Acharya's accomplished shishyas wrote down the dialogues he had had with the Jagadguru at the behest of the present Jagadguru, Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamiji. Along with the work titled "The Crest Jewel of Yogis" (a brief excerpt is available here – http://tinyurl.com/pd7p8l6), this work made alive for me the idea of Ishwara, Guru, saadhana, Yoga, Jnaana, all the wondrous murtis of Ishwara, and somewhat made less alive the world of pleasures and experiences of various kinds.
It was a turning point in my life to read these two books. I have experienced an unmatched joy (matched only by studying the Bhashya-commentaries of Bhagavatpaada Shankaracharya) whenever I have turned to them. The author-shishya has breathed life into his books by the will of his Guru bhakti, which is soaked in every one of the pages. The lucid conversations convey to us the simultaneously external simplicity and internal grandness of the Guru's life and the earnestness of a shishya in understanding the intricacies of Saadhana from the sacred lips of the Guru who he sees as none other than Ishwara Himself.
It is only in the Dharmic traditions that one relates to Ishwara as a friend and a mother, learns from Ishwara directly seeing Him as a teacher, does sushruusha (service) to Him with bhakti, is overcome with wonder and gratitude at His divine presence. All this is made possible directly and experientially in the physical domain because of the Guru who Himself embodies Ishwara.
The author, reverentially addressing His Guru at every step, clearly has approached and learnt at the feet of His Guru with this spirit, and this shows in all of the books he has written.
It is my humble prayer to the Jagadguru that the book "Yoga, Enlightenment and Perfection" reaches all sincere saadhakas across the world for all times. This book, amongst others, is a work of perfection of which the Acharya was an embodiment. May the world be enthralled in that Atman who was with us in the form of the great preceptor Himself.
Our Acharyal (Jagadguru Sri Abhinava Vidyatheertha Mahaswamigal) adorned the sacred Sringeri Sharada Peetham as its 35th Pontiff. He was an unmatched authority on the scriptures, a peerless Yogi, a consummate Jivanmukta, an ocean of mercy and a perfect preceptor. The book "Yoga, Enlightenment and Perfection" contains a detailed account of His Holiness's spiritual practices and His realization of and steadfast establishment in the Supreme. This book also serves as an authoritative exposition of Yoga, Bhakti, and Vedanta.
A free digital version of this book is now available at www.svfonline.net for the benefit of all spiritual aspirants.

Wire and Light Legerdemain: Richard Harrington's unique art at MCLA Gallery 51, North Adams, Massachusetts

TUNDI's remarkable Tristan und Isolde at the Latchis Theatre in Brattleboro, Vermont
September 17, 2019 September 17, 2019 Michael Miller
With the extraordinarily high standards of conservatory graduates today, performances of Wagner's music dramas have fled beyond the precinct of the very largest opera houses, and we may well forget how difficult it was only a couple of generations ago to cast and stage Tristan und Isolde at, say, the Metropolitan Opera, which once had to cast one Tristan per act, when the billed tenor was indisposed, and the two available replacements were also under the weather. Already by then the aging devotees of Flagstad and Melchior grumbled about just how far their standards would have to sink, before they stopped going to hear Wagner in New York. I still hear that today from long-time Wagnerians.
A Singer's Notes 154: Johann Pachelbel, Johann Sebastian Bach, Antonio Vivaldi, and Heitor Villa Lobos
September 2, 2019 September 2, 2019 Keith Kibler
The Aston Magna concert of July 27 in Saint James Place in Great Barrington featuring music of Johann Pachelbel, Johann Sebastian Bach, Antonio Vivaldi, and Heitor Villa Lobos was a feast of beauty. The variety of works by these composers gave the ensemble and featured soloists opportunities to display their virtuosity and their admirable expressiveness. Aldo Abreu delighted the audience with brilliant skill in Vivaldi's Concert for Sopranino Recorder in A minor. He and Christopher Krueger, also on recorder, were then featured in a performance of Bach's Brandenburg Concerto No. 4 in G Major, along with violinist Edson Scheid who commanded his solo part with tremendous skill and playfulness.
A Singer's Notes 153—Shakespeare and Company: Two Outdoor Performances: The Taming of the Shrew and The Merry Wives of Windsor
In Williams Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew, the Bard baits us at every moment. We all long for a sweet love-life. Finding this requires, in this play, a whole lot of passionate listening, and in Shakespeare and Company's outdoor production in the Dell at the Mount, director Kelly Galvin gave it to us.
A Singer's Notes 152: National Youth Orchestra of the United States at Tanglewood, Sir Antonio Pappano conduction, with Isabel Leonard, Mezzo-Soprano
September 2, 2019 Keith Kibler
Conductor Antonio Pappano led the young players of the National Youth Orchestra of the United States in a spectacular performance of Richard Strauss's Alpine Symphony on August 1st in Ozawa Hall at Tanglewood. The Alpine Symphony is well-known to be one of the most difficult orchestral pieces in the symphonic repertoire. To watch the intensity of these instrumentalists was almost as wonderful as hearing them. The hall vibrated with exuberance as well as tenderness. Conductor Antonio Pappano has every right to be proud of this superb young group of players.


WHAT'S INVOLVED WITH YOUR ROLE AT TVAA?
I am responsible for the administration of gifts left to us in Wills. I also offer advice to members of the community who want to know more about how they too can leave a gift to TVAA in their Will.
WHY DID YOU WANT TO JOIN TVAA?
After a couple of years in the charity sector, I made the decision to focus my career on legacy fundraising. In my opinion, a gift left to charity in a Will is the most wonderful legacy that someone can give. I believe they are the most rewarding planned gift to receive and it is an honour to oversee someone's final wishes. When the opportunity came up to work for TVAA as the Legacy Fundraising Manager I was keen to be involved with such an inspiring and worthy cause. I couldn't let myself miss out on the opportunity to be part of a making a real difference.
WHAT'S YOUR FAVOURITE TVAA FACT?
It still amazes me that we receive no Government funding. We only have the ability to deliver advanced emergency medical care in the way we do due to the generosity of the community - and gifts in Wills currently account for 10% of this vital income.
WHICH PROJECTS/WORK ARE YOU MOST LOOKING FORWARD TO WORKING ON/COMPLETING?
I am keen to hold some events to increase the community's awareness around the importance of gifts in Wills to TVAA's operations. I am also looking forward to getting to know the people behind the gifts in Wills we receive and ensuring that those involved know how truly grateful we are for the support that this type of giving creates.
HOW DO I FIND out more ABOUT WHAT YOU DO FOR TVAA?
You can find out more about gifts in Wills here: https://www.tvairambulance.org.uk/legacy. I'm also working on some promotional materials that you'll all be able to use to help spread the word about gifts in Wills; I hope to be able to share more details about these over the coming months. Should you wish to talk to me in confidence about gifts in Wills you can call me directly on 01494 834937 or email me at [email protected].

Australian Landscape Institute of Landscape Architects (AILA)
The Australian Institute of Landscape Architects (AILA) leads a dynamic and respected profession: creating great places to support healthy communities and a sustainable planet.
Australia is a vast and ancient continent of diverse natural landscapes. 85% of Australians live in settlements within 50 kilometers of the coast. Environmental pressures are significant, social issues complex, and questions about the management of balancing the economy with social and environmental issues abound.
In this milieu, landscape architects have a crucial role to plan and design-built settings that sustain human and planetary health.
The Australian Landscape Institute of Landscape Architects (the AILA) was formed in 1966 to support landscape architects in pursuit of their vision of healthy and engaging settlements in equilibrium with the country's natural environment, Aboriginal heritage, and continuous culture, and more recent modified landscapes.
The AILA is the profession's peak body, providing leadership in the education and professional development of its members and raising awareness within the community about issues affecting the state of the Australian landscape and built environment.
The AILA is guided by its strategic plan arranged around five strategic pillars and three strategic values: Connection to Country, Gender Equity, and Climate Positive Design. The plan identifies our direction for the future and can be found HERE
Website Address: www.aila.org.au

To watch Rachel Podger direct Brecon Baroque at the York Early Music Festival this summer, as I did, was to see an artist so alert, alive and joyous in her music-making, and yet so relaxed and modestly self-confident, that it almost didn't matter what the music was. Here was someone totally at ease with her own artistic personality, uninhibited in communicating it with phrase and gesture, and seemingly still deeply in love with the act of playing the violin, especially with friends. The audience adored her for it.
But then, Podger has followed her own path from the outset: warned off playing Bach when she was 12 (it requires another 20 years' toil, apparently), and later discouraged from studying Baroque violin in her first year at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London (you were supposed to wait to the second year), she ignored such baffling advice and got on with it. From those Guildhall years she emerged in the 1990s as a member of two dynamic young Baroque ensembles, the Palladian Ensemble and Florilegium. At the same time, her rush of red hair (and an even redder dress!) was making her a striking figure as Leader of Trevor Pinnock's English Concert and Paul McCreesh's Gabrieli Players. She also made an impact, on disc and at the Proms, as a partner to Andrew Manze, the decade's other young British star of the Baroque violin, in Bach's Double Concerto.
She had not waited her 20 years, then, and indeed by the time the century was out she had dared to record all of Bach's Solo Sonatas and Partitas. Back then that was a brave undertaking for even the most experienced of Baroque violinists, but Podger achieved it with almost nonchalant ease and lack of fuss. Twenty years on again, hers is still a benchmark recording.
Since then she appeared more and more as director, at first as a guest with orchestras such as Arte dei Suonatori (with whom she won a Gramophone Award in 2003 for Vivaldi's Op 9 Concertos), and then, from 2007, with her own group, Brecon Baroque, largely formed from friends and former pupils and named after the town in Wales where she now lives and directs a delightfully unpretentious festival. Meanwhile another Gramophone Award came along in 2016 for Biber's 'Rosary' Sonatas. There seems little reason to suppose that there won't be more to come.
That music in York, by the way, was Vivaldi's Four Seasons, presented with an effortless freshness and delight in detail that also drives the recording ('self-recommending', according to our own Editor) released earlier this year. A present to herself in her 50th birthday year, and shared with the ensemble fired by her irresistible personality, it could hardly have come at a more fitting moment. We are happy to contribute our own celebratory gift in recognition of an inspiring and immensely popular musician.
The Sunday Times once called Podger 'the Queen of the Baroque violin'; so serene has been her rise to pre-eminence, it is hard to argue against the title being richly deserved.


Oh. My. Goodness. I am going to try my hardest describe how amazing the food and company of our Christmas Party was, but I will not do it justice. MIGHTYminnow's first annual company Christmas party was hosted by the wonderful Jenny Schwartz and Kyle Itani at Hopscotch. We planned the party just in time too, as they just received an outstanding review in the San Francisco Chronicle by Michael Bauer.
When we arrived, we were greeted by the friendly staff and our very own MIGHTYminnow menu that outlined the evening's courses. The first round was potato chips and sauce served with a citrusy cocktail named after our very own company!
After the chips, we had grilled eggplant with miso dressing, then Agedashi Dofu with a paired sake. There is no picture of the eggplant because it was eaten too quickly, and the picture of the tofu is half eaten because it was so appetizing, I forgot to capture it until it was mostly gone. The salad, which was raved about in Mr. Bauer's review, was everything it was made out to be.
The food and drinks kept coming, and the party continued to become merrier and merrier as we all got to know each other and become closer. Not everyone that works for MIGHTYminnow works in our office in Oakland. It was the first time many of us had met face-to-face, and we had a lot of catching up to do!
Finally, the main course came out, which was either Fried Chicken or Striped Bass. Both were devoured by everyone at the table.
Dessert was just as delicious as the rest of the meal and was served family style with bite sized macaroons, brownies, pumpkin mouse, and chocolate mouse. This relaxed and cozy evening could not have ended on a better note. It was the perfect way to end the year and gave the company the spirit it needs to start 2013 off right.
Like many businesses, Mm will be operating at reduced capacity between 12/20/12 and 1/2. If you need work done during that time, please reach out to us as soon as possible so that we can accomodate you. Happy New Year!
About fifteen years ago, Kristin found a 1955 Pom Pom Aluminum Christmas tree at a Church sale. It was only a dollar and hidden under a table or else it would have been gone much sooner.
This Christmas tree has added so much to the MIGHTYminnow office this season. As we have gone through such a life changing few months, it is a nostalgic reminder of the happiness and cheer the Holiday season brings.
I have been hearing about this tree for a while now and was delighted to see Kristin come into work one morning with Christmas tree and decorations in hand. It could not have been a more pleasant day, as we watched Oakland's America's Children's Holiday Parade, then spent the afternoon listening to Bing Crosby and rediscovering our Holiday Spirit.
The tree, although not the classic green with multi-colored lights, is the perfect addition to our office. The turquoise tinsel matches the walls and the ornaments from the Museum of Modern Art adds the perfect burst of color to the tree. The next morning, as everyone on our floor walked past our office, we received constant smiles and compliments on the tree. Even our normally cross-seeming mail lady stopped to remember her similar Christmas tree from her childhood.
I am the lucky one in the office as I get to watch the tree bring a little cheer to these passersby and it reminds me to count my blessings that I get to work for such a great company and wonderful boss.

New Delhi: The Director Identification Numbers, or DINs, of those on boards of companies who haven't complied with certain disclosure norms by the 15 September deadline are being deactivated, the ministry of corporate affairs said today. Persons with deactivated DINs will be levied a fine of ₹ 5,000 for filing the mandatory know your customer (KYC) details after the due date. The fine does not mean the government will not take any further action against them for default.
A statement posted on the website of ministry of corporate affairs has warned that the process of deactivating non-compliant DINs is in progress and is likely to be completed by 17 September 2018. The statement did not mention the number of DINs being deactivated but a PTI report said it could be as high as 21 lakh out of 33 lakh active DINs.
The government requires the mobile number and any identification document among Aadhaar, driving licence, passport or election ID card for completing the KYC.
"Every director who has been allotted DIN on or before 31st March, 2018 and whose DIN is in 'approved' status, would be mandatorily required to file form DIR-3 KYC on or before 31 August 2018," the ministry said in another communication posted on its website.
The move is part of a broader exercise of improving transparency in the corporate sector to prevent possible instances of fraud and tax evasion.
The ministry had last year struck off from records more than 226,000 companies for not filing annual returns for two or more years. It also disqualified three lakh directors on the board of such companies.
The KYC requirement is compulsory for disqualified directors too. Now, investigations are on into the real ownership of 68 companies that made suspicious deposits of ₹ 25 crore or more in banks after the November 2016 demonetisation of high value currencies.

I have attended births in 8 different births centers in the DFW area.
Trisha was an absolutely wonderful support system for me as my doula. The amount of experience and expertise she has made me feel extremely at ease and prepared for my second labor and delivery. She is incredibly smart and blessed with a keen intuition to sense exactly what to do when you need it. Her postpartum breastfeeding advice was incredibly helpful as well. I wholeheartedly recommend her!
Trisha was truly fantastic. I would absolutely recommend her to any new mother. We took her classes and they were very informative. She gave us lots of information about the birthing process, about what options we had, and about different things that could potentially happen while giving birth. It really helped relieve some of my worries going in.
She has been fantastic after the birth as well, she came by to check on us and make sure everything was going well and she's always just been a phone call or email away if I have any questions. I cannot speak highly enough of her. She is a wonderful doula who has made being a new mom so much smoother.
My husband and I both HIGHLY recommend Trisha and her services, I honestly cannot say enough about her, and our entire experience. We (my husband and I) both attended Trisha's birthing classes knowing we didn't want a doula, after about five minutes in the birthing class we KNEW we needed Trisha. She had/ has so much knowledge we were blown away! After our first class we asked Trisha to be our doula for the birth of our daughter, and the expereince was amazing. Trisha was there the night my water broke and stayed with us and answered our every question and concern. Without going into too much graphic detail, she was the glue that held my perfect birthing experience together. SHE WAS SIMPLY AMAZING!!!! We hope to work with her in the future because I honestly cannot imagine childbirth without her!!
As a first time single mom, it was important for me to find a doula that I trust and can help me with all the questions and concerns I had during my first pregnancy. I am a person who really likes to learn and I wanted my birth to be an experience where I didn't go in uniformed. Though I knew that anything could happen, I wanted to work with a doula that had experience and that I could personally feel comfortable with. From the first day I talked to Trisha on the phone, I knew I wanted to work with her. She had a wealth of information to share, and all the information was backed up by a lot of research. Even if I had a short simple question for her, Trisha always provided me a lot of research for pros and cons, and she never pushed me to a decision, but wanted to ensure I had all the information that I needed. On a personal level Trisha was really warm, friendly, and took her job seriously. I could not have done a natural birth without Trisha. She knew exactly what to do, how to help me every step of the way, and was there for me every time. Trisha is very prompt and professional.
I also attended Trisha's classes, which were extremely helpful and contained an incredible amount of useful research as well as real-life examples and useful exercises.
I highly recommend Trisha as a doula, as well as her classes. If I have another baby, I would definitely have Trisha again as my doula. Thank you so much for everything!
We did not actually use her as a doula because she was not available on my due date BUT one of her partner doula's recommended that she help us during our son's second week of life. I had a crazy amount of pain due to a lip tie and wasn't sure we could continue BF. She took time out of her day to do a lactation consult and then went with us to the pediatric dentist the next day to help us after the procedure. She has a beautiful, loving heart and those who have been touched by her kindness are very blessed indeed. She was one of several amazing women who helped us save our BF journey.
Birth is a life changing event like no other. I have heard of births that have left women feeling isolated and defeated. But after our home water birth, I felt empowered and innately capable of birth, the various challenging aspects of new motherhood, and life. As a new mom who was lucky enough to work with Trisha Blizzard, I can tell you that the team of people you have by your side during birth makes all the difference. You can accomplish things you deemed impossible (birth, breastfeeding, motherhood) with the support of a great team. We called Trisha in as a pseudo emergency when we were pretty far along in labor — I had never met her, but our midwife had given her a glowing recommendation. Trisha showed up very quickly, during a contraction, and jumped right into action and I knew from then on that we had made the right choice. Trisha has an extremely calming presence talking through each wave of contractions, and her skills in massage, accupressure, and the almighty TENS unit offered a comfort that I cannot explain. I would absolutely recommend working with Trisha as your doula ... because while we were lucky enough that she was available that morning while we were in the throngs of it, I couldn't have imagined it without her and it would have been a very different birth if we hadn't been able to work with her.
My husband was quite leery of my decision to have a natural, unmedicated birth. As worried as he was about me, he was worried about how he'd handle it himself. After our very first childbirth class with Trisha, we both went from nervous to excited. She helped us communicate about our fears and helped us find ways to cope with them. She prepared us extremely well. I sent my husband to a "fathers only" class given by a local hospital and he came home telling me that he had learned more from Trisha than that class could even touch on. Her childbirth classes were extrodinary.
During the birth, Trisha was my rock. I panicked and she brought me back to center- more than once. She was patient, kind and encouraging during my moment of terror and I will be forever grateful for that, and for her.
Having Trisha as our doula changed everything. She opened our eyes to so many things and prepared us more than we could have ever imagined. We will forever treasure her as a part of our first birthing experience and wouldn't think twice about hiring her for any subsequent births.
From the very first time I talked to Trisha, I knew I had found someone special. Trisha was kind and an empathetic listener on the phone. I felt instantly calmed by her demeanor and her aura of capability. She invests everything she has into her clients. She is honest, sweet, and overall wonderful. If you have come across her name you are truly fortunate- you will not find a better doula.
The classes were terrific. She went through the material at a pace and in a style uniquely tailored to us. She allowed us to have the classes on different days and times when we could fit them in. Trisha was always very prepared and gave us lots of workbooks and handouts that we could refer to later. We could call or email her any time. I once got an email back from her at 3am!
My goal was to birth naturally and I truly couldn't have done it without Trisha. My labor started fast and furious with contractions every three minutes apart. Trisha was the first phone call I made. She kept me calm through early labor despite my frequent contractions. She stayed by my side the entire labor. She massaged, hugged, held my hair, and numerous other things for 12 long hours without one word of complaint. She was completely respectful of my wishes. She didn't judge one bit of my weaknesses, screams, curse, stubbornness to change position, or the various other things women are prone to in labor. She had a million suggestions for things I could try and she knew when I was ready to listen to them. She never pushed me but let me make my own way while holding my hand and staying with me through every difficult step. Labor was worse than I imagined but Trisha was better! I am so very grateful Trisha was there and any woman would be incredibly lucky to have her attend their birth.
I would recommend Trisha wholeheartedly. There is simply no better investment that you could make.
We found Trisha on-line and could not be happier with our choice for a Doula! Trisha also gave us childbirth classes and presented the material in a very relaxed and informal nature. The best things about the classes were, that they were in our house and on our schedule, not at the hospital with several other people, and only when the hospital offered them. The knowledge that we gained from the childbirth classes allowed us to manage my labor at home for as long as possible. The pamphlets and handouts she gave us in the class also provided a wealth of information to help us in laboring at home. The day our son was born, I called Trisha several times for re-assurance, and to answer some questions about how I was feeling. When it came time for the birth, Trisha was right there by my side helping me through the contractions, and helping my husband keep me calm. I know my husband really appreciated having someone to help keep him calm, and guide us through the process. We have also taken the "Happiest Baby on the Block" class from Trisha and highly recommend this class, whether you are a first time parent, or not, the information in this class can help you manage the fussiest baby. When we decide to have our next child Trisha will be the only Doula we call!
Trisha was our amazing doula for the birth of our son. He was born at home on September 23, 2009. She spent as much time as we needed before-hand making sure that we were prepared and educated. She also took time to put together a special class for our moms since they would be present during the entire process. These classes helped us all feel so much more confident about the whole process.
At about 3:00am on September 23 we called Trisha to come over because I was having contractions and they were getting harder to manage on my own. She came right over and never left my side until he was born at 8:56pm that night! She was constantly making sure that I had everything I needed- making me food, getting me water, etc. With every contraction she was there to help me through it. I know that if Trisha wasn't there, my labor would have been so much harder. We were all so thankful to have her there!
I am still so amazed at Trisha's work. She is so good at what she does. I truly believe it is her calling to be a doula and help women do what their bodies are made to do. I would highly recommend her to anyone in a heart beat!
Trisha is an excellent doula. She is patient and supportive and brings a calming presence to a birth. She was here with me the birth of my first child; I don't know that I would have been able to have a successful homebirth without her. I look forward to having her with me again if I am blessed with another child. She gave me a kind of support that only another woman can...a woman who has "been there" before. My husband also really appreciated her being here and never felt like he was pushed aside.

-Safe, alcohol-free drinking water additive.
-Reduces, rather than masks, bad breath.
-Reduces tartar with daily use.
-Improved owner compliance: simply add two capfuls to one quart of fresh drinking water per day (10 mL per liter).


and some pop-top beer bottles and bottle caps (screw tops can't be re-capped easily and usually aren't rated to handle the pressure of bottle conditioning).
If you dont want to spend a lot of money and want to get started with just the basic supplies you cant go wrong with this. Perfect kit to get your feet a little wet in the world of brewing.
This is the kit I started with except mine came with a hydrometer instead of the spoon and thermometer, which are arguably way more useful when first starting out. A decent pot and a wort chiller is about all you need to add to really get going. An auto siphon is a nice thing to have as well.
Great value but would be more complete if it came with an Auto-siphon!!! Other than that all of the equipment is decent however I am already thinking of investing in a better bottle or glass carboy.
I bought this kit and I love it! I've made several batches of Amber,Dark, pale ale and a wheat ale. Using LME It is a good basic kit to get you started and is easy to add stuff as you gain more knowledge. My kit came with the thermometer and the spoon. It arrived earlier than the original shipping date and I live in Idaho.

US village 'hit by 12ft of snow'
Tue, 13 Feb 2007 07:42 UTC
Reports from New York state say 10 days of heavy snowfall has left snowdrifts of up to 12ft (3.7m) deep - a record if confirmed by meteorologists.
A state of emergency has already been declared in and around Oswego county, with squalls leaving behind at least 7ft (2.1m) of snow in the area.
At least 20 deaths have been caused by persistent snow bands across the US, though not in Oswego county.
Forecasters warn of more snow in upstate New York later this week.
Reports say that in the town of Mexico, which is used to heavy snow every two or three years, front doors have been buried and footprints lead to first-floor windows.
Houses swamped
Roofs of other homes have buckled under the weight of the snow and 125 workers have been employed on 12-hour shifts to clear roadways.
However the constant snowfall has meant by the time a route is finished, it has already become time for them to start clearing the same stretch again.
After a warm winter though, owners of businesses reliant on skiing and winter sports trade have welcomed the change in the weather.
Deaths linked to the cold were reported last week in Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Wisconsin, New York and Maryland.

Kamloops News – The way this Kamloops customer

Kamloops News
The way this Kamloops customer treated his servers brought 'goose bumps'
By Jennifer Stahn
KAMLOOPS – He's a customer who has visited the Chopped Leaf restaurant in Sahali almost every day since they opened in 2011 but last week he made sure he would be remembered for more than just being a loyal customer.
Customer Cory, who wishes to remain quiet about his generosity, brought in gifts for the staff to show his appreciation for all their hard work. He gave a Starbucks gift card to every employee who has been working at the restaurant for more than six months. Then all those employees got their name entered into a draw for a special surprise gift as well.
"He came in and said 'in all the time I've come here the staff are always happy, never made a mistake'," owner Brenda Chornohus says of Cory's reason for paying it forward. "It's just incredible, I have goose bumps."
Makenna Larocque, who began working at Chopped Leaf in July 2012 when she was just 16 and now works there full-time, was the lucky winner of the draw and will be on her way to see Imagine Dragons perform in Vancouver this summer thanks to one of her favourite customers.
"He always has a smile on his face. He's a really nice guy," she says. "He's the one (of our regular customers) that sticks out the most."
Chornohus says to make the experience complete for her employee, she has also made arrangements to have Larocque's hotel room covered while she is in Vancouver.
"I'm stoked. It's definitely unexpected," Larocque says. "It's nice to feel appreciated. Sometimes you're working so hard and trying to be so nice, and it's nice to hear that it affects them. They do appreciate that I'm smiling at them even though I really don't always want to."

Tunisia's Amin Ben Bey (6), Omar Agrebi (12) and Racem Siala (8) block against Japan.
Niterói, Brazil, August 6, 2011 – After a bad debut at Caio Martins gymnasium on Friday, Japan won their second Pool G match, against Tunisia, 3-0 (25-19, 25-20, 25-18) on Saturday. Now Japan is tied with Tunisia for second place in the pool and has to win Sunday against Egypt for the chance to play for ninth place at the FIVB Volleyball Men's Junior World Championship.
Canada leads Pool G at 2-0. Japan and Tunisia each have records of 1-1, although Japan leads the set ratio.
Japan led Tunisia in spikes (38-32), in blocks (10-4) and in service aces (5-3). The Japanese team got 22 points from Tunisian errors, while their opponents had 18 points.
Japan's Takashi Dekita was the best scorer in game with 17 points on 16 attacks and one ace. Taike Tsuruda added 10 points. On the Tunisian side, Racen Siala was the best, scoring 13 on attacks and one block. Mohamed Arbi Ben Abadallah added 12 points all on spikes.
With Japan leading 10-6 in the first set, Tunisia scored twice to pull within two at 10-8, but Tunisia's next spike attempt went out of bounds and Japan's Kodai Yoshioka followed with an attack to give Japan a 12-8 lead. With Japan leading 19-12, Tunisia scored three straight points to pull to within four at 19-15. But Japan called timeout and came out with two straight spikes by Ryota Denda and Dekita along with an ace from Denda to take the 22-15 advantage and Tunisia could not come back.
The teams were tied 6-6 in the second set when Japan scored three points on Tunisia's hitting error, an attack by Denda and an ace from Yoshioka. Tunisia came back to tie the score at 18-18, causing Japan to call timeout. They came back with attacks from Taiki Tsuruda and Dekita to lead 20-18. Tunisia called timeout, but Japan scored again with a double block and Tunisia did not threaten again.
Japan held an 8-5 lead at the first technical timeout (TTO) of the third set. With Japan leading 10-8, Tunisia scored on Mohamed Arbi Ben Ambdallah's right-side attack and a block from Omar Agrebi to tie the score at 10-10. But Japan immediately came back to score four straight points on two attacks and two blocks and Japan went on to win the match.

The reCAPTCHA analyses take place completely in the background. Website visitors are not advised that such an analysis is taking place.
Data processing is based on Art. 6 (1) (f) DSGVO. The website operator has a legitimate interest in protecting its site from abusive automated crawling and spam.
