Velvet Sundown: I'm on a Boat…
The once strict definition of what constituted a video game has taken a massive beating over the past couple years. There's been numerous releases that just weren't different enough to be excluded from the game genre but yet also didn't feel like they had enough game-like aspects to be included. For me these types of games are quite intriguing as their lake of gameplay is usually made up for in story or the gameplay itself is what builds the story. Velvet Sundown is one such title, including some of the basic elements of game but feels more like a digital version of a murder mystery party. It's hard to describe how I feel about it as whilst I think the concept is novel the execution, one that relies on other players playing their part, is both the best and worst thing about it.
You're aboard the Velvet Sundown, a private yacht that caters to the rich and famous. You'll find yourself in control of one of many characters in the game ranging from crew members all the way up to famous tennis players or wealthy socialites looking for a good time. However everyone aboard this ship has a secret, maybe something about them or a desire they want to fulfill, and your interactions will determine whether those secrets come to life or if those desires will be fulfilled. How will you play your role? Will you seek out your goal with reckless abandon or will you be the troll that tries to fellate everyone aboard?
Velvet Sundown has this kind of Second Life vibe to it which I think mostly stems from its graphics. The environment, that is to say the ship that you can walk around on, is pretty barren in terms of detail and feels quite sterile. This is only amplified by the rigid animations that all the characters have, especially when they're walking around. It seems this might be due to the fact that Velvet Sundown is built upon an engine called Dramagame which appears to be geared more towards social simulation rather than something with game play. Usually I wouldn't hold this against a game, especially one which focuses on other things, however when they're asking for a monthly subscription fee for premium content I do expect a little more bang for my buck.
A the beginning of each scenario you'll be randomly assigned a character to play and then given a background blurb on who they are, what their motivations might be and usually a goal to start you off. After that you're essentially in a 3D chat room with a bunch of other players which, depending on how lucky you are, will be filled with a mix of serious players and trolls. You can engage people in conversation (and, if you've got premium access, you can hear them talk in wonderfully horrible text-to-speech) to try and figure out who might be the right person to talk to regarding your objective or use various items to progress the scenarios story. For some characters you'll receive prompts every so often about your changing motivations, hopefully inducing a bit more drama into the overall experience.
As a concept I think the idea is really strong. You get given what's essentially a character breakdown but how that character plays out is all up to the players behind them. I had some pretty fun scenarios where other people played to their characters aptly, like the Nigerian prince who spoke in slightly broken English and tried to get everyone to welcome Nigeria into their hearts. However at the same time if people don't play to the story exactly the scenario doesn't really go anywhere and then you usually end up in boring conversation that inevitably leads onto someone trolling. The best example of this was my last scenario whereby one person, playing Lora, tried to get everyone on the ship to do sexual things to her. Whilst it was funny at first it just ended up distracting from the overall game, and it eventually went no where.
Velvet Sundown could be vastly improved by adding in a little more interactivity and freedom into the game in order to generate more interesting narrative. The rigid structure that the story requires to be followed in order to progress it means that there's really no freedom outside of it, even if you're allowed to say whatever you want to anyone. Adding in some other interactions that you could apply to anyone else in the game would mean that, even if the original story wasn't panning out, players would be able to create their own stories within the bounds of the scenario. I'm not suggesting they put in full cyber-sex animations for everyone (like the slutty Lora in my last game would love) however a few more interactions would go a long way.
Velvet Sundown is an interesting concept, taking the idea of a murder mystery party and translating that into a digital playground for players to fool around in. However it feels like a beta product, with all the environments feeling sterile and the character animations making them all look like robots with back problems. The player to player interactions are the main source of entertainment however and whilst they can be amusing at times if everyone doesn't stick to their story exactly the scenario just ends up going no where. I feel with a couple years worth of polish Velvet Sundown could really be something but for now it's just a curiosity that simply not worth paying for.
Rating 5/10
Velvet Sundown is available on PC right now. It is free to play with an optional subscription fee for premium content.

Christian Boarding Schools in Bayonne, New Jersey
Looking for a Christian boarding school near Bayonne, New Jersey? Is your teenager spinning out of control? We can help you, without charge…
There is nothing worse than having your teen spinning out of control, and no worse feeling than the sadness parents experience in the process. It is hard to know what to do and how to react when your boy or girl daily reaches new lows in disobedience, dishonesty, and disrespect, and chooses the wrong path in life.
We know, because we went through the same thing with our son. Raised in a Christian home and mostly home-schooled until high school, we suddenly found that we didn't know him. He had changed seemingly overnight. His grades started falling and his interest in sports and old friends shifted to a new group of friends — the kind parents are wary of — the kind of kids that got kicked out of a public school, so the local private school took them in.
Little did we know, our son was already heavy into smoking pot, huffing, drinking alcohol and just about everything else his new peer group dared him to do. The downward spiral was dramatic — all the way down to holes-in-the-walls rages, running away for days at a time, and finally threatening suicide. After months in counseling, the therapist proclaimed that there was nothing more he could do. He recommended a local therapeutic school where issues could be dealt with and the influence of his negative peer group could be broken.
Putting our son in a therapeutic Christian boarding school was the hardest thing we've ever done as parents.
Not only would it mean selling everything and cashing in all of our savings and the boy's college fund, but it would mean not seeing our boy for long periods of time. We wept for two days after dropping him off. But then, two weeks later, we learned our boy had been attacked on campus. Unfortunately, the program we put him in was also taking in some violent gang kids (they hadn't informed us of that), and our son was soon their target, nearly killing him. After his recovery, we went on our own search for the right therapeutic school where he could be safe and be counseled for his issues – after all, he still needed help, and now he also needed therapy for the trauma of being attacked.
We learned from this traumatic experience that therapeutic schools can be quite different and need to be selected based on their strengths and avoided if they have serious weaknesses. It's important to know what those are.
No one was available to help us in Bayonne find the right program for our boy. We made a mistake to begin with, and that cost us dearly, but after some time of research we found a good program that was able to help our son. Today, our family and even our son are thankful for that program.
The Christian boarding school we finally enrolled him in literally saved his life and got him off the downward spiral.
Let us help you in finding the best program near Bayonne, New Jersey. We've made it our life goal to know all we can about every program, so we can help parents (without cost) find the best possible option for their troubled teen. We want to help you avoid the same mistake we did.
Now, every day we hear from scores of frustrated parents in towns like Bayonne, New Jersey, who share how their once normal and happy child has become seriously out of control — just like our son was. They talk about how it has disrupted their family and how they fear for their child's future and very life. "My child is no longer who she used to be," is a typical cry from these parents.
If your child is out of control, he or she needs you to intervene. That's why you've landed on this site, so allow us to be the resource you need to help you find just the right program near Bayonne, New Jersey. The downward spiral your teen is on can have tremendous destructive potential with lifelong consequences, or even bring a young life to a quick end. Don't wait. Act today based on what you know is true – your faith, your own beliefs, and what you know is best for your teen.
Give us the opportunity to help you find a Christian boarding school closest to Bayonne, New Jersey that will provide your teen with the help and mentoring he or she needs, and within your budget. We've visited most of these schools and we know the staff there. We know what they are good at, and what they are not so good at. We poll parents who have placed their teen in these programs, so we know how well they have done.
Avoid the temptation to put your child in a nearby Bayonne merely out of convenience (like we did). Rather, find the program that is most likely to help your teen, wherever it may be located in the country. Give us the chance to tell you about a few of them. Fill in the online form now to begin that process. There is NO CHARGE for this service. We will deal with you according to your wishes and call or email the information to you confidentially and as convenient.
More about Bayonne, New Jersey:
Bayonne is a city in Hudson County, New Jersey, United States. Located in the Gateway Region, Bayonne is a peninsula that is situated between Newark Bay to the west, the Kill van Kull to the south, and New York Bay to the east. As of the 2010 United States Census, the city's population was 63,024.
Bayonne was originally formed as a township on April 1, 1861, from portions of Bergen Township. Bayonne was reincorporated as a city by an Act of the New Jersey Legislature on March 10, 1869, replacing Bayonne Township, subject to the results of a referendum held nine days later."The Story of New Jersey's Civil Boundaries: 16061968″, John P. Snyder, Bureau of Geology and Topography; Trenton, New Jersey; 1969. p. 146.] At the time it was formed, Bayonne included the communities of Bergen Point, Constable Hook, Centreville, Pamrapo and Saltersville.
The city lies at the heart of the Port of New York and New Jersey, east of Newark, the state's largest city, and west of Brooklyn. It shares a land border with Jersey City to the north and is connected to Staten Island by the Bayonne Bridge. While somewhat diminished, traditional manufacturing, distribution, and maritime activities remain important to the economy of the city.

Today I made lunch with bits and pieces from the garden. It was totally delicious! How I did it HERE.
Real food like that is so satisfying! It's like one's body sighs with satisfication and says "Ahhhhh, now I'm really fed!"
At dinner time, I decided to roast up the rest of the pumpkin in the fridge, so I can combine it with the half I roasted the other day, and make up some good foods tomorrow. I baked a chicken thigh at the same time for dinner, and then found I was still feeling quite satisfied for lunch, and didn't want more cooked veges, so sliced up some carrots and celery to have with chicken and pumpkin. In the end I couldn't eat it all. Though I did find room later on to try a piece of the above slice :-).
The storm blew some unripe apples off the trees, so I collected those. I'm going to make apple jelly with some, and apple cider vinegar with the rest. Recipes to come.
Today I purchased a bag of dog biscuits for my wee dog. I've finally found a brand he likes, having turned his nose up at the organic etc brands. It was on special at Countdown, so I paid $17.99 for the bag, which will probably last him about 4 months.
And that's all I spent in the past week! Leaving a kitty balance of $32.01 out of the $50 for the week.
Of course, this is only week one, and I didn't expect to have much difficulty not buying any groceries. The coming weeks will be more interesting.
Tomorrow I'm back to work in my role as advocate and advisor for home educators. This is about a 30+ hour a week job from home, though it varies from week to week. However, between that, housework, animals, gardening, cooking etc, I won't have a lot of spare time. Therefore I plan to post recipes as I can, and do blog updates about twice a week rather than daily. At the very least, there will be weekly updates on this challenge.
Make your own nut meals and flours I find that purchased nut meals and flours often are somewhat rancid, or become rancid quickly. This is because the natural oils in the nuts are exposed to air when ground, and this can allow for fast deterioration. If you do buy ground nut products, keep them in the freezer to maintain freshness for longer. However, I never buy, for example, almond meal or flour these days - I buy whole raw almonds, and when I need flour or meal, I grind it myself. A simple food processor will turn almonds into meal easily. If I need a finer flour, then I transfer some meal to a coffee grinder and whizz it further. If I grind more of either than I need right away, I put the excess in bags and freeze.
A coffee grinder is very useful I don't drink coffee, but I do have an electric grinder, which I keep specifically for grinding nuts and seeds. I used it on seseme seed and linseed before putting in my muselis (they are more digestable when ground), and for making almond flour as above, as well as any other time I need to grind such things. Very useful in a lot of raw "cooking" and making health foods from scratch. I got my coffee grinder free with Flybuys points.
Write labels on jars in your pantry with a permanent marker - it will wash off with hot soapy water and a brush or cloth, leaving no sticky label residue to worry about. I label all my preserving as well as jars of products in my pantry this way. Works great!


text:
Der Vogelschwanz wird im Skelett der Vögel (Aves) durch den Endabschnitt der Wirbelsäule und die Schwanzfedern gebildet. Im Verlauf der Evolution der Vögel hat sich die Schwanzwirbelsäule verkürzt und die letzten Wirbel sind zum Pygostyl verschmolzen, der die stabile Unterlage für die Schwanzfedern bildet.

Der Schwanz übernimmt die Rolle der Flugsteuerung, und ist daher sehr beweglich. So kann beispielsweise der Mauersegler (Apus apus) als Flugakrobat seinen Schwanz zur Verringerung des Luftwiderstandes komplett schließen und für die schnellen Wendemanöver wie eine Schere wieder öffnen. Je kleiner das Verhältnis von Flügelfläche zu Gewicht, desto mehr Steuerfedern werden benötigt die Flugbahn zu halten. Bei den europäischen Vogelarten variiert die Anzahl der Schwanzfedern zwischen zehn (typische Vertreter sind Mauersegler oder Seidensänger Cettia cetti) und 24 (beim Höckerschwan Cygnus olor). Ein überdurchschnittlich langer Vogelschwanz verbessert die Manövrierfähigkeit, zum Beispiel bei Verfolgung oder Flucht.

Oftmals wird der Schwanz auch für Drohgebärden, Balz oder Imponiergehabe genutzt. Bekannte Beispiele sind das Rad des Pfaus oder das des Auerhahns zum Imponieren. Das für die Bekassine (Gallinago gallinago) charakteristische Geräusch beim Balzflug entsteht durch Vibrationen und Zucken der Schwanzfedern.

Der Schwanz dient in der Feldornithologie nicht selten als Bestimmungsmerkmal für schwer unterscheidbare Arten. Oft ist die Färbung dabei ausschlaggebend, manchmal aber auch Länge und Form der einzelnen Schwanzfedern. Ebenso lässt sich oft aufgrund von Farbvariationen das Alter des beobachteten Vogels daraus ableiten.

Q: Error updating GraphLab Create dependencies: AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'get_dependencies' Upon "import graphlab" the following occurs:
ACTION REQUIRED: Dependencies libstdc++-6.dll and libgcc_s_seh-1.dll not found.

1. Ensure user account has write permission to C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Continuum\Miniconda2\envs\gl-env\lib\site-packages\graphlab
2. Run graphlab.get_dependencies() to download and install them.
3. Restart Python and import graphlab again.

By running the above function, you agree to the following licenses.

* libstdc++: https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/manual/license.html
* xz: http://git.tukaani.org/?p=xz.git;a=blob;f=COPYING

I tried running "graphlab.get_dependencies()", but got the following:
AttributeError Traceback (most recent call last)

<ipython-input-3-9e64085fb919> in <module>()

----> 1 graphlab.get_dependencies()

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'get_dependencies'

Does anyone know how to solve this?

A: I was getting the dependencies error in both IPython and on the python command line. I didn't have any luck installing through the GraphLab Create launcher.  I had to run the following command to fix the installation (my environment name is "gl-env".  Change this name to your environment):
activate gl-env

python -m ipykernel install --user --name gl-env --display-name "Python (gl-env)

Then I opened a python command line and ran:
import graphlab
graphlab.get_dependencies()

Note when running this last import command, I get the error in the OP, however after running the .get_dependencies() method it finds the module and installs the necessary dependencies.  Subsequent calls to "import graphlab" succeed after this.

A: Got a response back from Turi about the issue. The following resolved the problem:
"This error is most likely due to a corrupt installation of GraphLab Create due to other Python processes, such as iPython Notebooks, running in the background while GLC is trying to install. To resolve the issue, please do the following:

*

*Completely shut down and reboot your system. Do no start any applications or processes that use Python or GraphLab Create.

*Try installing GraphLab Create again, preferably using the GraphLab Create Launcher: https://turi.com/download/install-graphlab-create.html"

Elon Musk launches into expletive-laden rant, calling quarantine measures 'fascist'
Apr 30. 2020
File photo of Elon Musk
By The Washington Post · Faiz Siddiqui · BUSINESS, TECHNOLOGY, US-GLOBAL-MARKETS
Elon Musk launched into an expletive-laden rant on Tesla's earnings call Wednesday, calling shelter-in-place orders "fascist" and demanding political officials give back their freedom.
"To say that they cannot leave their house and they will be arrested if they do, this is fascist," he said, before the call abruptly cut out. "This is not democratic-this is not freedom."
The company was forced to shut down its Fremont, California, factory just as it was ramping up production for its Model Y, the crossover vehicle it expects to be its best-selling product.
The comments followed Tesla posting a slight profit Wednesday, a lukewarm signal as worries mounted about the electric carmaker's trajectory amid the global pandemic.
The company said first-quarter profit came in at $16 million, down compared with the past two consecutive quarters. In the same quarter a year ago, the company reported a $702 million loss. The company's nearly $6 billion in quarterly revenue was up 32 percent year over year.
The company in early April already reported a record first quarter for production and deliveries of its vehicles lineup, consisting of the Models S, X, 3 and Y. Still, analysts have cautioned that the pandemic is likely to slice into production an render unlikely its target of half a million vehicles built in 2020.
Tesla echoed that concern, saying it might not hit that target due to the coronavirus. It also warned cash flow and net income might be difficult to predict, so it would revisit its yearly guidance next quarter.
"It is difficult to predict how quickly vehicle manufacturing and its global supply chain will return to prior levels," Tesla said. "We have the capacity installed to exceed 500,000 vehicle deliveries this year, despite announced production interruptions. For our U.S. factories, it remains uncertain how quickly we and our suppliers will be able to ramp production after resuming operations."
Chief financial officer Zachary Kirkhorn said Tesla is closely assessing the impact of the covid-19 downturn.
"In Fremont we're working toward restarting production as soon as that's possible," he said. "However, unavoidably, the extended shutdown in Fremont will have an impact on our [near-term] financial performance."
In response to a question about what the company had learned from the crisis, Musk said Tesla had started spending more efficiently.
"It has caused us to look closely at our cost structure and to be more efficient as a company," he said. "We came to the conclusion that the right move is actually to continue to expand rapidly, continue to invest in the future in new technologies, even though it is risky."
Still, Tesla's stock rose more than 7 percent in after hours trading to $861.07 as investors applauded the profit.
The record first-quarter performance surprised investors and analysts, who expected the company to have suffered some preliminary impacts from the global impacts of the coronavirus, which ravaged China before the first cases of local transmission were reported in the U.S. toward the end of February.
Analyst Dan Ives of Wedbush Securities said that Tesla's ability to turn a profit in an environment constrained by covid-19 sent the market a strong signal of the company's financial viability that sent the stock surging.
"The fact that they're navigating that storm as well as they are, now you're gonna have a stock that's going to start to make it's trek toward a thousand dollars," he said.
Tesla began delivering its Model Y crossover in March, in a muted debut that coincided with widespread social distancing and shelter-in-place orders aimed at slowing the spread of the virus. Wednesday's earnings report was the first indicator of demand for the small SUV, which has long been expected to be strong due to U.S. preference for that type of vehicle. Tesla said the crossover became the "first time in our history that a new product has been profitable in its first quarter."
The Y's debut may have provided some insight into why Musk initially resisted efforts to close businesses in the Bay Area, where Tesla is headquartered. Only after substantial intervention from local authorities last month did Musk agree to close up shop at its Fremont, California, factory.
Tuesday night, ahead of the earnings release, Musk repeatedly encouraged business to reopen, at one point tweeting "FREE AMERICA NOW." The tweet drew the ire of some elected officials who said Musk's antics showed he was willing put the health of Americans at risk for personal gain.
Tesla rounded out 2019 with two straight quarters of profits after meeting the low end of its vehicle delivery targets on its mass-market Model 3, though it posted an annual loss.
"By all accounts, 2020 was supposed to be Tesla's year," Jessica Caldwell, executive director of insights with research group Edmunds, said in a statement. "Its Shanghai factory was up and running, Model Y production and deliveries were ahead of schedule, and the company was making money while expanding its product lineup and operations. COVID-19 essentially robbed what would've been a home run for Elon Musk, so it's unsurprising that he's been leaning into the 'Free America' rhetoric on Twitter."
While some "die hards" will stick with the brand, Tesla faces problems including cheaper gas and a recession likely to cut into pocketbooks, said Karl Brauer, an auto industry analyst who serves as executive publisher at Cox Automotive. Luxury brands, which count Tesla among their ranks, tend to suffer during recessions.
"We looked like we were on the cusp of electric vehicles moving from niche to something more than niche," Brauer said. "Nobody with a grounded perspective thinks that was has happened in the last two months is good for electric vehicles."

Dynamic DNS refers to the process of dynamically updating a DNS zone (such as yourdomain.com) with different information. While occasionally useful in a closed network, we believe this is a security risk on the Internet.
Why doesn't Sargasso support Dynamics DNS Registration?
If we were to enable dynamic DNS updates, there would be the possibility that someone could fraudulently point your website at a different address - or that through a simple misconfiguration of your operating system, you could achieve the same effect.
We do not allow dynamic update to any DNS records due to the security concerns involved. Therefore, attempting to update DNS records wastes our bandwidth and processing power and may cause false alarms on intrusion detection systems.
We understand that some products ship with this option on by default. This is why we give you plenty of warning that you need to disable the feature before we take any action.
What happens if I try to use Dynamic DNS?
If we find any clients who have inadvertently set their computer to perform Dynamic DNS updates, we will inform them by e-mail. We understand that certain software may have this option on by default, so we will give you plenty of warning.
The most common culprits on the desktop side are Windows 2000, ME, XP and 2003 Server, and on the server side, ISC's DHCP client. Users of these programs need to make absolutely certain that they aren't attempting to update our DNS servers.
How do I keep Windows 2000/Me from attempting to update your DNS servers?
To do so in Windows 2000/ME, enter the Networking and Dial-Up Connections control panel, right-click on your external Internet connection, and choose properties. Go to the Networking tab and choose "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)" from the components list and hit the properties button. Then hit Advanced and go to the DNS tab. Uncheck the "Register this connection's address in DNS." box. Click OK through all the dialogs, reboot if necessary.
See the Microsoft article linked from the bottom of this page for further information.
How do I keep ISC's DHCP client from updating your DNS servers?
To prevent the updates if you are using a recent version of the ISC's DHCP client, add the line dns-update off; to your configuration file, and reload/restart the DHCP daemon(s). This will prevent your system from sending spurious updates to our DNS servers which we will have to hunt down and notify you about, and which waste our bandwidth and other resources.
What if I want a Dynamic DNS hostname?
We recommend you investigate DynDNS.org. They provide a free service which you can update from your desktop client. You will get a DNS name such as yourname.dyndns.org. If you like, you can alias something from your own domain using our DNS control panel - for example you might set 'home.yourdomain.com' as an alias to 'yourname.dyndns.org'.
This minimizes the security threat by ensuring nothing can update your domain name directly.
However, please note that we do not and cannot support DynDNS services.

Lakers News: Lakers' Starting Five Named to 2013 All-Star Ballot
Video: Mike D'Antoni Conducts First Lakers Interview
Only seven games into the regular season for the Los Angeles Lakers and the NBA All-Star ballots have already been released.
Although there's plenty of talented players at all positions in the Western Conference this year, all five Lakers starters were named to the ballot according to the recent press release:
EL SEGUNDO – Kobe Bryant, Steve Nash, Dwight Howard, Pau Gasol and Metta World Peace were named to the 2013 All-Star ballot presented by Sprint which was unveiled today during a special tip-off event in Houston, the Official Host City of NBA All-Star 2013.
This season there's a little twist to the All-Star voting with the center position taken off the ballot. Instead of being required to vote for one center in both conferences, the NBA has removed the position and given three votes for three frontcourt players.
—- Show off your team pride with your own Lakers Nation t-shirt! —-
Lakers' center Dwight Howard one of the big-name players in the league that aren't fond of the NBA's new rule to remove his position from the ballot. Howard claims that centers work as hard as anyone else on the basketball floor and deserve to have the position on the ballot.
It's hard to argue with Howard's opinion on the subject considering all the physical abuse NBA centers can take over the course of an 82-game regular season. Even though Howard disagrees with the new rule, there's little chance it will impact his status as a perennial All-Star starter.
As for the rest of the Lakers that appear on the ballot, Kobe Bryant is a given to be named a starter in the backcourt. Steve Nash, Metta World Peace and Pau Gasol will likely be fighting for spots on the West roster as reserves, but all five starters for the Lakers have a legitimate shot of being voted as All-Stars this season.
The All-Star starters for both conferences will be announced on Jan. 17 and the voting will conclude three days prior on Jan. 14.

Female stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is caused in part by an improperly functioning urethra. Unlike other types of incontinence, SUI is not a problem of the bladder. Normally, the urethra maintains a tight seal to prevent involuntary loss of urine. In a woman with SUI, muscle and pelvic tissue weakened by childbirth or other causes, are unable to adequately support the urethra in its correct position. As a result, when pressure is exerted on the bladder from the diaphragm during sudden movements, the urethra cannot maintain its seal and urine escapes.
Crossing Rivers Health has welcomed Dr. Jason Rexroth, Pelvic Floor Specialist, to their Medical Staff at the Center for Specialty Care. Dr. Rexroth offers proven urodynamic testing and outpatient surgical treatment options for women experiencing this condition, as well as surgical treatment for incontinence performed on over one million women worldwide. Patients choosing surgical treatment may be able to go home as early as a few hours after the procedure with only a two-three week recovery period. During the procedure, mesh is woven through pelvic tissue and positioned underneath the urethra, creating a supportive sling. When pressure is exerted, the tape provides the support needed to allow the urethra to maintain its seal. All medical procedures present benefits as well as some risks.
Dr. Jason Rexroth received his medical degree from the University of Iowa and completed one year of general surgery in Spartanburg, South Carolina. He completed four years of OB/GYN residency at Marshall University in Huntington, West Virginia.
To learn more about treatment options for female stress urinary incontinence, please contact Crossing Rivers Health Center for Specialty Care, Prairie du Chien, at 608-357-2525.

Q: How do I prove that the metric in $\mathbb{C}_{\infty}$ satisfies the triangle inequality? To be specific, there is a logical way to prove that this metric satisfies the triangle inequality without using any magical identity ?
$
\displaystyle{d(z,z') =
\begin{cases}
\displaystyle\frac{2|z - z'|}{[(1 + |z|^2)^(1 + |z'|^2)]^{\frac{1}{2}}}, & \mbox{ if } z, z' \in \mathbb{C} \\
\displaystyle\frac{2}{(1 + |z|^2)}, &  \mbox{ if } z \in \mathbb{C} \mbox{ and } z' = \infty
\end{cases}
}
$
Thanks!

A: Just for reference, I completed the answer to my question provided by Alfonso Delfin
$d(z,z') \leq d(z,z'') + d(z'',z')$
Let $\sigma: \mathbb{C}\cup\{\infty\} \to S$ be the stereographic projection
\begin{cases}
(\displaystyle\frac{2\Re(z)}{|z|^2+1},\displaystyle\frac{2\Im(z)}{|z|^2+1},\displaystyle\frac{|z|^2 - 1}{|z|^2 + 1}), & \mbox{ if } z \in \mathbb{C}\\
(0,0,1), & \mbox{ if } z=\infty
\end{cases}
Notice that
$d(z,z')=||\sigma(z)-\sigma(z')||$,
where $||\cdot||$ is the usual norm in $\mathbb{R}^3$. Thus, the triangle inequality follows from the one for $||\cdot||.$
Let $\textbf{u}, \textbf{v} \in \mathbb{R}^n$, then
$||\textbf{u} + \textbf{v}||^2 = (\textbf{u} + \textbf{v})\cdot(\textbf{u} + \textbf{v}) = ||\textbf{u}||^2 + 2(\textbf{u}\cdot\textbf{v}) + ||\textbf{v}||^2$
By Cauchy-Schwartz inequality we have
$
\textbf{u}\cdot\textbf{v} \leq ||\textbf{u}|| \mbox{ } ||\textbf{v}||
$
Hence,
$||\textbf{u} + \textbf{v}||^2 \leq ||\textbf{u}||^2 + 2||\textbf{u}|| \mbox{ } ||\textbf{v}|| + ||\textbf{v}||^2 = (||\textbf{u}|| + ||\textbf{v}||)^2
$
Taking square roots both sides yields
$||\textbf{u} + \textbf{v}|| \leq ||\textbf{u}|| + ||\textbf{v}||$
Now consider
$ d(z,z')= ||[\sigma(z)- \sigma(z'')] + [\sigma(z'') - \sigma(z')]||$
Let $\textbf{u}= \sigma(z) - \sigma(z''), \textbf{v} = \sigma(z'') - \sigma(z')$, then
$d(z,z')= ||\textbf{u} + \textbf{v}|| \leq ||\textbf{u}|| + ||\textbf{v}|| = d(z,z'') + d(z'',z') $

В Википедии есть статьи о других людях с таким прозвищем, см. Большой Джон.

Джон Роберт Томпсон (; 2 сентября 1941, Вашингтон — 30 августа 2020, Арлингтон, Виргиния) — американский баскетболист и баскетбольный тренер. Как игрок выступал на позициях центрового и тяжёлого форварда, двукратный чемпион НБА в составе клуба «Бостон Селтикс» (1965, 1966). Как тренер — чемпион (1984) и двукратный финалист чемпионата NCAA с командой Джорджтаунского университета, со сборной США бронзовый призёр Олимпийских игр 1988 года как главный тренер и чемпион Игр 1976 года как помощник главного тренера. Первый чернокожий тренер, выигравший чемпионат NCAA, обладатель приза Генри Айбы (1982), тренер года по версии Национальной ассоциации баскетбольных тренеров (1985) и по версии UPI (1987), трёхкратный тренер года конференции Big East. Член Зала славы баскетбола с 1999 и Национального зала славы университетского баскетбола с 2006 года.

Игровая карьера
Джон Роберт Томпсон — младший родился в 1941 году в Вашингтоне (округ Колумбия) в семье неграмотного разнорабочего. Родители, стремясь дать сыну хорошее образование, отдали его в католическую школу. В старших классах средней школы имени архиепископа Кэрролла Джон был основным центровым школьной баскетбольной сборной, с которой одержал 55 побед подряд, дважды выиграв городское первенство, а затем достиг успехов в составе команды вашингтонского Провиденс-колледжа. В 1963 году «Провиденс Фрайарс» при его участии одержали 20 побед при двух поражениях (сам Томпсон при этом в среднем набирал по 32 очка за игру) и выиграли , а на следующий год впервые в истории вуза пробились в финальную стадию чемпионата NCAA. По итогам сезона 1963/1964 Томпсон был признан игроком года в Новой Англии. Томпсон окончил колледж со степенью бакалавра по экономике.

На драфте НБА в 1964 году Томпсон был выбран в третьем раунде клубом «Бостон Селтикс». Он провёл в НБА два сезона, завоевав с командой два чемпионских титула, но поскольку на его позиции в «Селтикс» в эти годы играл Билл Расселл, Томпсон проводил на площадке мало времени, причём во втором сезоне меньше, чем в первом. После сезона 1965/66 на драфте расширения Томпсона выбрал новый клуб НБА «Чикаго Буллз», но он не захотел переезжать в Чикаго и в неполные 25 лет завершил игровую карьеру.

Игровая статистика в НБА

Тренерская карьера
По окончании выступлений Томпсон продолжил высшее образование, получив в Университете округа Колумбия степень магистра по профессиональной ориентации. По этой специальности он нашёл работу в вашингтонской школе Св. Антония, где одновременно тренировал школьную баскетбольную сборную. С этой командой он одержал 122 победы при 28 поражениях, после чего был в 1972 году приглашён на пост главного тренера в сборную Джорджтаунского университета. Джорджтаунская сборная за всю свою предшествующую историю только один раз, в 1943 году, участвовала в национальном этапе первенства NCAA, а сезон перед приходом Томпсона завершила с балансом побед и поражений 3-23. Тем не менее по приходе новый тренер пообещал, что однажды приведёт Джорджтаун к национальному чемпионскому титулу.

Томпсон оставался тренером «Джорджтаун Хойяс» на протяжении следующих 27 сезонов. Из них он 24 раза подряд выводил команду в плей-офф (5 раз в Национальном пригласительном турнире и 19 раз в NCAA). Первый выход в финальную часть чемпионата NCAA состоялся уже в третьем сезоне Томпсона с командой — в 1974/75, через 32 года после предыдущего аналогичного успеха. Как бывший центровой, Томпсон строил игру своей команды вокруг доминантных игроков на той же позиции, среди которых были Патрик Юинг, Дикембе Мутомбо и Алонзо Моурнинг; ещё одной звездой его команд был защитник Аллен Айверсон. Особое внимание в игре Томпсон уделял обороне. Это в частности проявилось в сезоне 1981/82, когда за три последних игры регулярного сезона Big East и четыре первых игры плей-офф чемпионата NCAA команда в среднем пропускала по 45,3 очка за матч.

За годы работы Томпсона с «Хойяс» команда выиграла 596 матчей при 329 поражениях и семь раз становилась чемпионом конференции Big East. Лучшие годы выступлений пришлись на период с 1982 по 1985 годы, когда за Джорджтаун играл Патрик Юинг. За эти четыре года команда трижды играла в финале чемпионата NCAA, завоевав титул в 1984 году. В 1982 году Джорджтаун проиграл в финале одно очко Университету Северной Каролины; в этом матче решающий мяч забросил студент-второкурсник из Северной Каролины Майкл Джордан. В 1985 году «Хойяс» потерпели в финале поражение на два очка в день, когда их соперники из Университета Вилланова показали рекордные показатели попаданий с игры за всю историю турнира (79 %). В 1982 году Томпсон стал первым чернокожим тренером, чья команда вышла в Финал четырёх баскетбольного чемпионата NCAA, а два года спустя — первым чернокожим тренером — чемпионом NCAA. Он добился этого с командой, полностью состоявшей из чёрных игроков. Успехи Томпсона повлияли на практику наёма тренеров в университетские команды; если до него эти должности в основном занимали белые тренеры, работавшие с чёрными игроками, то уже в 1982 году на работу в Университет Темпл был принят Джон Чейни, в 1983 году «Айову Хокайс» начал тренировать Джордж Рейвелинг, а в 1985 году команду команду Университета Арканзаса возглавил Нолан Ричардсон.

За годы работы с «Хойяс» Томпсон трижды (в 1980, 1987 и 1992 годах) признавался тренером года конференции Big East и столько же раз — национальным тренером года. В 1982 году этот титул (также известный как ) ему присвоила Ассоциация баскетбольных журналистов Соединённых Штатов, Национальная ассоциация баскетбольных тренеров сделала это в 1985 году, а ассоциация United Press International — в 1987 году.

Помимо Джорджтаунского университета, Томпсон привлекался также к работе с национальной сборной США. На Олимпиаду 1976 года он поехал со сборной в качестве помощника главного тренера и завоевал с ней чемпионский титул, а на Олимпийских играх 1988 года был главным тренером сборной и стал бронзовым призёром. Эта команда была последней любительской сборной США на Олимпиадах, и после её неудачи Дэвид Стерн и НБА добились для баскетболистов-профессионалов права выступления на Олимпийских играх, уже на турнир 1992 года отправив «команду мечты» с Джорданом, Юингом, Мэджиком Джонсоном, Карлом Мэлоуном, Чарльзом Баркли и другими звёздами НБА.

76 из 78 игроков команды Джорджтаунского университета, отыгравших в ней все четыре года обучения под руководством Томпсона, окончили университет с академической степенью, а 26 были выбраны в драфтах НБА, в том числе 8 в первом раунде. В тренерской карьере Томпсона фигурировал ряд громких эпизодов, демонстрирующих его заботу об игроках. В частности, в 1989 году он демонстративно покинул площадку, протестуя против так называемого «предложения 48» — плана NCAA лишить спортивных стипендий студентов-второкурсников, не выполняющих минимальных требований к академической успеваемости. По словам Томпсона, эта мера могла ударить по студентам из неблагополучных семей; протесты с его участием заставили NCAA пересмотреть планируемое изменение. В том же году он публично выступил против наркоторговца Райфула Эдмонда, в круге влияния которого оказались игроки Джорджтауна Алонзо Моурнинг и Джон Тернер. Тернер позже был отчислен из сборной, когда не пожелал прекратить контакты с Эдмондом.

Томпсон завершил тренерскую карьеру в январе 1999 года, ссылаясь на личные обстоятельства. Осенью того же года его имя было включено в списки Зала славы баскетбола. Его сын, Джон Томпсон 3-й, занял пост главного тренера сборной Дхорджтаунского университета в 2004 году и возглавлял её 13 лет, прежде чем его сменил в этой должности Патрик Юинг. Томпсону-младшему удалось один раз, в свой третий год с командой, вывести «Хойяс» в Финал четырёх чемпионата NCAA.

За пределами игровой площадки
По окончании тренерской карьеры Джон Томпсон оставался консультантом спортивных программ Джорджтаунского университета до самой смерти. Он также занимался спортивной журналистикой, выступая как баскетбольный комментатор на радио и телевидении. В частности, у него была собственная программа «Шоу Джона Томпсона» на вашингтонской радиостанции SportsTalk 980.

Томпсон был членом совета директоров Национальной ассоциации баскетбольных тренеров и её президентом, а также членом совета директоров Зала славы баскетбола. Он выступал как консультант и спикер фирмы Nike и входил в её совет директоров. В 2000 году он учредил Благотворительный фонд Джона Томпсона, гранты которого получают организации, способствующие улучшению жизни детей. Он также основал программу «Дети и менты» (), каждый сезон бесплатно распределяющую 10 тысяч билетов на матчи «Джорджтаун Хойяс».

В браке с Гвендолин Твитти, закончившемся разводом, у Томпсона родились трое детей — Джон, Ронни (главный тренер сборной Университета Болл Стейт) и Тиффани. В последние годы жизни его здоровье расстроиось, и он умер в возрасте 78 лет в августе 2020 года у себя дома в Арлингтоне (Виргиния). Автобиография Томпсона «Я пришёл, как тень» () была завершена его соавтором Джесси Вашингтоном и увидела свет менее чем через четыре месяца после его смерти.

If you aren't yet familiar with the Savvy Girls podcast I wanted to draw your attention to them, not least because their most recent episode - Episode 135 - features, amongst other things my very first experience of being interviewed for audio.
It was an absolute delight to meet Savvy Girl, Melanie on her recent trip to the UK. As part of her visit she came to The Sheep Shop, Cambridge and performed a selection of wartime knitting songs which she has unearthed as part of her painstaking research into the subject.
Witty, warm and funny - her collections of wartime songs are available to buy on CD. I bought Knitting All The Day and it sparked lively discussion and reminiscences when I shared it with the ladies at my local WI.
After Melanie's performance, there was lots of fun and chatter as we talked about knitting and it's rich history in the UK and it was a little unexpected, but a great delight to be asked about my work as a newbie designer.
Sarah, owner of the Sheep Shop and general all round fabulous person, gives a great interview too. Her enthusiasm and passion for knitting and craft is absolutely infectious and I'm sure it would inspire even a total non-knitter to pick up those needles and have a go.

Toni Collette & Harvey Keitel in Trailer for Parisian Comedy 'Madame'
"It's like a slow motion car crash…" Blue Fox Entertainment has debuted an official US trailer for the indie comedy Madame, set in Paris, starring two great actors - Toni Collette and Harvey Keitel. Collette & Keitel play a wealthy and well-connected American couple who just moved into a big house in Paris. They host a fancy dinner party with other upper class guests, but to even out the number of those at the table, they recruit their "loyal maid" Maria to disguise as a "Spanish noble woman" but she falls for one of their other guests and everything gets a little wacky after that. The full cast includes Rossy de Palma, Michael Smiley, Tom Hughes, Violaine Gillibert, Stanislas Merhar, and Sue Cann. This looks totally kooky and entertaining, almost like a French mix between Dinner for Schmucks and Beatriz at Dinner (with Salma Hayek). Seems like it'll be fun to watch, especially because Collette & Keitel are so damn talented. See below.
Here's the official US trailer (+ poster) for Amanda Sthers' Madame, direct from YouTube:
Anne and Bob, a well-to-do American couple, have just moved to a beautiful manor house in romantic Paris. To impress their sophisticated friends, they decide to host a lavish dinner party, but must disguise their maid as a noblewoman to even out the number of guests. When the maid runs off with a wealthy guest, Anne chases her around Paris to thwart the joyous and unexpected love affair. Madame is directed by French filmmaker Amanda Sthers, making her second feature film after Je vais te manquer previously. The screenplay is written by Amanda Sthers and Matthew Robbins, from a story by Sthers. This premiered at the Sydney Film Festival last year, and opened in France in November. Blue Fox Ent. will release Sthers' Madame in select theaters + on VOD starting March 23rd, 2018 coming up. Who's interested in this one?

RICHMOND, Va. — Federal officials have accused a company that runs a Virginia facility breeding dogs for research of violating animal welfare law and recently seized at least 145 beagles found to be in "acute distress," according to a lawsuit filed Thursday.
The Envigo RMS facility in Cumberland County has been under increasing scrutiny for months, drawing concerns from animal rights groups, members of Congress and Virginia lawmakers, who passed animal welfare measures this year intended to tighten up the facility's requirements and strengthen state oversight.
Repeated federal inspections since Envigo acquired the facility in 2019 have resulted in dozens of violations, including findings that dogs had received inadequate medical care and insufficient food, were housed in filthy conditions, and some had been euthanized without first receiving anesthesia. Hundreds of dogs have also been found dead at the facility, according to inspections.
"Despite being on notice since July 2021 that the conditions at its Cumberland facility fall far below the (Animal Welfare Act's) minimum standards, Envigo has failed to take the necessary steps to ensure that all of the beagles at its facility are provided humane care and treatment and that the Cumberland facility is operating in compliance with the (act)," said the complaint filed in U.S. District Court for the Western District of Virginia.
Court records do not list an attorney for Envigo. A spokesman said the company was working on a statement and would have a response at some point Friday.
According to the complaint, agents from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Office of Inspector General and other law enforcement officers began executing a federal search warrant at the facility Wednesday. As of Thursday's filing of the complaint, 145 dogs and puppies veterinarians found to be in acute distress had been sized, the lawsuit said.
The government is requesting that a judge declare Envigo has repeatedly violated the Animal Welfare Act and restrain the company from further violations.
"Envigo is failing to meet the minimum standards for handling and housing the beagles, resulting in the unnecessary suffering and, at times, death of beagles at the Cumberland Facility," the complaint said.
According to the complaint, the facility has housed up to 5,000 beagles since July 2021. It alleged staffing has been "paltry" and the attending veterinarian has failed to provide and oversee adequate care.
"Rather than spend the money to meet the minimum standards … Envigo has employed a paltry number of employees and elected to euthanize beagles or allowed beagles to die from malnutrition, treatable and preventable conditions, and injuries resulting from beagles being housed in overcrowded and unsanitary enclosures or enclosures that contain incompatible animals," the complaint said.
It cites a finding from a July 2021 inspection report that found Envigo had euthanized dozens of beagles over the course of months rather than provide care for injuries caused when a body part like an ear or tail was pulled through a kennel wall by a dog next door.
As for the dogs that have been found dead, the complaint alleges animal care technicians with no formal training are allowed to make the decision about whether a necropsy should be performed.
Medical records reviewed during the July 2021 inspection indicated that for 173 puppies, Envigo staff could not identify a cause of death because the bodies had already begun decomposing.
The complaint noted that inspectors have found unsanitary conditions, including an "extensive, widespread pest problem," overcrowded enclosures and buildups of feces, urine and other waste.
Envigo, which has a business mailing address in Indiana, registered as a Virginia LLC in 2019, the complaint said. It acquired LabCorp's Covance Research Products business, including the Cumberland facility, in June 2019.
The company has worked to make improvements at the site, including reducing the total number of dogs on site, raising pay, increasing staff training and enhancing cleaning processes, according to a statement a spokesman provided The Associated Press earlier this year.
In March, Virginia's U.S. senators, Mark Warner and Tim Kaine, called for federal inspectors to strip the facility of its license. And a month earlier, U.S. Rep. Elaine Luria and six other representatives wrote to the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, raising similar concerns about why Envigo's license had not been suspended.
PETA, the Norfolk-based animal rights group, conducted a months-long undercover investigation into the facility in 2021 and filed a complaint with the U.S. Department of Agriculture in October of that year, prompting inspections, senior vice president Daphna Nachminovitch said Friday. The group has been sounding the alarm about the facility for months.
Nachminovitch credited federal officials for "finally" taking "decisive action."
"PETA finds suffering like this every time we crack open an operation like Envigo, and this needs to be the beginning of the end for this hideous beagle-breeding mill," Nachminovitch said in a statement.

Q: Singular cohomology to cohomology of quasi-coherent sheaf Let $X$ be a projective nonsingular variety (integral Noetherian scheme of finite type that is proper over a field $k=\overline{k}$ such that $\Omega^1_X$ is locally free). Suppose one knows the singular cohomology groups
$$H^i(X,\mathbb{Z})$$ for all $i$, or even the cohomology ring $$H^*(X,\mathbb{Z})$$
This tells us what the sheaf cohomology is for the constant sheaf $\underline{\mathbb{Z}}$ is:
$$H^i(X,\underline{\mathbb{Z}})$$ since it's isomorphic to $H^i(X,\mathbb{Z})$ as above. My question is: Can this be used to say anything about the cohomology of a coherent sheaf of modules on $X$? For instance:

*

*Does $\underline{\mathbb{Z}}$ correspond to any quasi-coherent sheaf on $X$?

*Does there exist a coherent sheaf $\tilde{M}$ on $X$ such that we can we use $H^*(X,\mathbb{Z})$ to say anything about the sheaf cohomology $H^i(X, \tilde{M})$? I would suspect not, since singular cohomology considers $X$ only as a topological space, and not as a ringed space. But it's not even clear to me how to generalize singular cohomology within sheaf cohomology of a quasi-coherent sheaf. I am assuming that quasi-coherent sheaves are $\Gamma$-acyclic, so we wouldn't need to resolve them. I suppose a separate question I am having here is: are locally free sheaves $\Gamma$-acyclic in general?


A carer has gone on trial accused of robbing a woman with cerebral palsy in her own home - leaving her fearing for her life.
Maria Strano, aged 45, threatened to hit the 54-year-old in her bed in the middle of the night, a court heard.
She returned to her home after an earlier care visit to grab her CCTV system, a jury was told.
Strano allegedly disabled her alarm so the woman could not summon help for about six hours, Plymouth Crown Court heard.
Strano, who has given the court an address in Sicily, has denied robbery on July 23 last year. She was living in Bodmin at the time.
Nigel Wraith, opening the case for the Crown Prosecution Service, said the woman lived alone in Plymstock, with her brother and sister-and-law living next door.
The court heard the 54-year-old was born with cerebral palsy and only has the use of her right arm.
He said that both homes were covered by CCTV systems.
Mr Wraith added that carers visited her five times a day, seven days a week. They used a key in a coded box outside to let themselves in, the court heard.
He said that Maria Strano, working for Gem Care, came to her bungalow for the first time the day before the robbery.
The barrister said that they "did not get on".
He added that at about 1am the next morning, as she tried to get to sleep, she heard someone accessing the key box and letting themselves in.
She realised that there was an intruder in her home, carrying a torch and wearing a mask to cover part of her face.
Mr Wraith said: "This was no ordinary burglary. Items of value could have been taken but were not. The intruder was intent on one thing and one thing alone.
"That was getting rid of CCTV footage from the property. The prosecution cannot say why it was that the defendant was so keen to remove the CCTV footage.
The barrister said that the intruder had used the woman's name.
Mr Wraith said she tried to disguise her voice as she asked where the CCTV system was, but the woman recognised it was Strano.
The court heard that the intruder ripped the alarm cord from the wall.
He added that police arrested Strano later that day but she denied leaving her house in Bodmin during the night.
Mr Wraith said that officers found CCTV footage showing Strano's Mercedes Classic crossing the Tamar Bridge into Plymouth about half an hour before the robbery.
The court heard the car was seen driving back in the opposite direction about two hours after it first crossed.
Mr Wraith said Strano then said she had visited Plymouth in the night but said she was buying cannabis.
The jury watched the complainant's video-recorded police interview from her home, where she was helped by a carer. The panel had a transcript of her words to help them understand her speech.
The 54-year-old, whom Plymouth Live has agreed not to identify, said the intruder wore a mask, was carrying a torch and wearing gloves similar to those used by her carers.
The woman added that she reached for the alarm near her bed that would summon her carers but said she was too slow to push the button.
She said that Strano ripped the alarm cord from the wall.
The woman said that the intruder told her to "go to sleep" before leaving.


DC: If you can, see it while it's here in DC at the Kennedy Center.
You may be able to get tickets from their box office (for possibly best prices) or online. Limited availability online, and those that were available were mostly Orchestra (@625) and First Tier (@500).
You can also enter the daily lottery. Tickets are offered through their app and online, in the first three rows of each performance. The price? A very Hamiltonian $10/ticket, of course in the US and 10 pounds in London. To learn more, CLICK HERE. That can be used for the lottery in other cities as well.
Tickets are being released daily for upcoming performances. Standing room may be available on a performance by performance basis, beginning two hours prior to the curtain time. When available, standing room may only be purchased in person at the Kennedy Center Box Office. Tickets are $49 each, limit 2 per person.
How to get in the mood? Maybe go by Hamilton's statue in front of the U.S. Treasury Department, or have a meal at The Hamilton, 14th & F Sts., NW (part of the Clyde's Restaurant Group).
Other cities: Here's more information about Chicago, and stops at many other cities. (We saw it in Cleveland; SOLD OUT, and amazingly enthusiastic crowd for the phenomenally talented cast and crew, not a motley one by any means) CLICK HERE to learn more.
Here's a brief excerpt: The award-winning musical has been selling out on Broadway since it opened to rave reviews in August 2015. Hamilton, which features book, music and lyrics by creator Lin-Manuel Miranda, went on to break records and win 11 Tony Awards, as well as a Grammy and a Pulitzer Prize.
Listen to the music on the 2 CD set, read the incredible Alexander Hamilton book by Ron Chernow that inspired Lin-Manuel to create the show.
Read the Time-Life book about the Founding Fathers.
It is also beneficial to read the annotated libretto, Hamilton: The Revolution, with witty comments by Lin-Manuel and others.
Is there a Cliff's Notes version of Chernow's incredible (but long) bio? I don't know. I read the book and listened to the amazing music and lyrics....worth the time and effort! And the show? Worth every penny (lower prices than in DC).
On a visit to New York City, you may want to visit the Smithsonian-managed Museum of American Finance, 48 Wall Street. Unfortunately, it's currently closed for repairs. But also many other historic sites in and near New York City, and you'll see some of them in the PBS Special.
Honors: Finally, Lin-Manuel Miranda and three of his major collaborators will be honored on Saturday, December 1, 2018 at the Kennedy Center, with special awards as part of the Kennedy Centers Honors. Those tickets are even harder to obtain than the show. Good luck!
And whatever you do, to paraphrase the words of Hamilton songs: Don't give up your shot to be in "the room where it happens"!!

Publisher Simon & Schuster Cancels Publication of Sen. Josh Hawley's Book
Publisher said it made the decision after Wednesday's 'deadly insurrection'

Updated Jan. 7, 2021 8:36 pm ET
Simon & Schuster decided to drop the publication of a forthcoming book by Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley following what the book publisher called the "deadly insurrection" that took place at the Capitol Wednesday.
Sen. Hawley's book, "The Tyranny of Big Tech," had been scheduled to go on sale this June.
In a statement Thursday, the publisher, a unit of ViacomCBS Inc., VIAC 0.52% said: "We did not come to this decision lightly. As a publisher it will always be our mission to amplify a variety of voices and viewpoints: at the same time we take seriously our larger public responsibility as citizens, and cannot support Senator Hawley after his role in what became a dangerous threat to our democracy and freedom."
A call to Sen. Hawley's office wasn't returned. Sen. Hawley's literary agent couldn't be reached for comment.
On Twitter, Sen. Hawley called Simon & Schuster's decision "Orwellian" and "a direct assault on the First Amendment," saying his work representing his constituents was redefined by the publisher as sedition.
"I will fight this cancel culture with everything I have," he wrote. "We'll see you in court."
In response to Sen. Hawley's tweet, Simon & Schuster said in a statement: "We are confident that we are acting fully within our contractual rights to cancel publication of Josh Hawley's 'The Tyranny of Big Tech.'"
Sen. Hawley last week became the first senator to say he would object to the results of the 2020 presidential election. By law, an objection requires the backing of at least one House member and one senator, triggering a debate and vote on whether to disqualify a state's electoral results. Congress formally certified the results earlier Thursday, but the process was interrupted by a mob that stormed the U.S. Capitol in a riot that resulted in several deaths, dozens of arrests and police injuries.
Together with many House Republicans, Sen. Hawley challenged Pennsylvania's electoral votes, an effort that was defeated 92-7 in the Senate and 282-138 in the House.
In its online catalog, Simon & Schuster described Sen. Hawley's book as championing the idea that "big tech companies— Facebook, Google, Amazon, and Apple —represent the gravest threat to American liberty since the monopolies of the Gilded Age, and proposes a democratic, hopeful path forward."
Sen. Hawley has been a frequent critic of tech companies, particularly regarding how they police content. In October, when Facebook Inc. and Twitter Inc. moved to limit the sharing of New York Post articles about Joe Biden's son Hunter Biden, Sen. Hawley wrote a letter to Facebook Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg in which he said, "The seemingly selective nature of this public intervention suggests partiality on the part of Facebook."
Sen. Hawley earlier authored "Theodore Roosevelt: Preacher of Righteousness," which was published in 2008 by Yale University Press.
Simon & Schuster in 2020 published a number of highly successful political titles including Mary L. Trump's memoir "Too Much and Never Enough," Sean Hannity's "Live Free or Die" and former national security adviser John Bolton's "The Room Where It Happened: A White House Memoir," among others.
In late November, ViacomCBS agreed to sell Simon & Schuster to German media giant Bertelsmann SE for almost $2.18 billion, pending regulatory approval.

I'm sure you've heard it before. "Breakfast is the most important meal of the day." "Don't skip your breakfast." Or the old adage, "Eat breakfast like a King and supper like a pauper." But are you doing it? And if not, why not?
It is true - breakfast is the most important meal of the day. It sets the pace. A healthy breakfast gets the body's metabolism up and running. Eating an unhealthy breakfast or skipping it and you are more likely to suddenly get hungry and grab quick things that are unhealthy (donuts and candy) or eat extra food at lunch to make up for missing breakfast. It has been documented that breakfast skippers notoriously struggle to lose weight.
Many people think eating less or skipping meals helps them lose weight. Not always. The body adapts. If it believes it is starving it will cut back metabolism to conserve energy. This is the main reason 95% of diets ultimately fail. Once people are off the diet they go back to how they used to eat, but their metabolism has slowed down. The result is adding the pounds right back on.
It is important to eat regular meals and if necessary snacks evenly throughout the day. This keeps blood sugar levels more constant providing you balanced energy through the day. With fewer blood sugar spikes you will experience fewer food cravings.
Another pitfall to proper eating is having a large dinner or snacking late at night. What happens? The food is not digested well. When you are sleeping, your body is not thinking about digestion and a lot of food complicates the process even more. Poor digestion is at the root of many ailments - such as acid reflux, gas, bloating, constipation, and diarrhea. Plus, you are more likely to wake up feeling full and not be hungry for breakfast starting the whole cycle over again. As a general rule it is best not to eat within three hours of going to sleep.
For a list of my favorite healthy breakfasts follow this link to my blog http://brwellness.blogspot.com/2008/11/start-your-day-with-healthy-breakfast.html.
You'll notice that all the choices have protein and healthy fat in the meal. Vary your breakfast so it does not become routine and boring. Once you've read through my suggestions for a healthy breakfast, what do you notice is missing? If you are curious I invite you to give me a call or send an e-mail to find out why I have not included them!
