Doctor Who team hint at "dark," "epic" and "squelchy" new episodes
The writers and directors behind Jodie Whittaker's first series as the Doctor have a few teases for the episodes they're working on

While we're still fairly in the dark about what we can expect from specific episodes in the upcoming series of Doctor Who (probably more than we have been for years, in fact), some of the newly-announced writers and directors involved in the series have revealed a few choice details about the challenges faced by Jodie Whittaker's Thirteenth Doctor this autumn.
"Part of the joy of writing for Doctor Who is to try to surprise your audience, no matter what their age," novelist Malorie Blackman, who was revealed to be part of the new series' writing team alongside showrunner Chris Chibnall earlier this summer, told Doctor Who Magazine.

"I love unpredictability – where you introduce the unexpected, even into a story the audience may already think they know."
Dedicated Who scholars who've read Blackman's 2013 tie-in short story The Ripple Effect, which introduces a universe filled with peaceful Daleks, may have already noted her intriguing approach to Doctor Who material – and we can only assume that'll also extend to Blackman's writing on the series.
In the same interview, Blackman described her episode (while the writers are acting as a team, each individual seems to be primarily responsible for one story) as "heartfelt, thought-provoking and timely," in a description that seems in keeping with the series' forward-thinking new ethos.
In a similar vein, Murdered by my Father writer Vinay Patel suggested that his episode might bring the series back to its educational roots, describing his tale as "educational, epic [and] emotional."
However, lest fans get worried that the new series be entirely focused on teachable or serious issues, other writers suggested that this could be one of the most entertaining (and scary) runs of Doctor Who yet, with new series scribes Pete McTigh, Joy Wilkinson and Ed Hime describing their episodes as a "creepy, fun, rollercoaster," "dark, funny, squelchy" and "really rather spooky" respectively.
That "squelchy" comment, incidentally, may refer to some of the bad weather the Who team had to deal with during the shoot, which some of the directors working on the series referred to.
According to Sallie Aprahamian, during the filming of one episode the crew had to deal with "howling rain storms, snow, lots of mud and bright sunshine, sometimes within minutes of each other," which disrupted production a significant amount.
Other directors had more luck, however, with both Jennifer Perrott (who teased an interesting CGI action sequence in the same interview) and Jamie Childs managing to dodge the worst of the apocalyptic weather.
"I have to say Wales never let me down. I don't think I got bad weather once, apart from the one time I wanted a specific type of 'bad' weather and I got it," Childs recalled.
"So I was very lucky overall."
Actually WANTING bad weather is certainly an interesting approach – maybe one episode requires a lot of wind? – but back on the writing side there were other challenges, mainly focused on incorporating Jodie Whittaker's large Tardis team (including Bradley Walsh, Tosin Cole and Mandip Gill) into each week's episode.
"It's not tricky keeping them busy as they're all awesome active characters, but it's definitely tricky fitting all their stories into 50 minutes," Wilkinson explained.
"You want to give each their moment, but they're also best together so you need those group scenes too. I love that it's a real team vibe and that the Doctor, however brilliant she is, needs them all."
However, there were also positives to having a larger cast, as some of the other writers explained.
"The main characters are our guides through the universe," Patel said.
"The gift of a larger cast is that it allows for more perspectives on the situations the Doctor brings them into. If you ask yourself what each of those characters thinks about what's happening around them, you'll always find a satisfying course of action that springs from it."
"Once Chris [Chibnall] had established them in episode one I felt like the hard work had been done – I think old and new viewers will just want to hang out with them," McTigh added.
"I know I do – security have to keep dragging me off the set."
Overall, Doctor Who's new behind-the-scenes team seemed to promise a run of episodes that retained the sci-fi series' freewheeling, offbeat style while also trying new things, and assuming they can pull it off we can't imagine a better mission statement for a whole new take on the Whoniverse.
Now, if we could just get some more information on what we'll ACTUALLY be getting in each episode, we'll feel completely satisfied.

The great profile of the Herbert Levine shoe, urbane as it is, comes from the designing genius of a farmer's daughter. This erstwhile milk maid is named BETH LEVINE and she is the artistic half of the team of Levine and Levine who personally watch over the birth of 5,000 pair of shoes a week.
Beth met and married Herbert Levine during World War II while she was a member of the American Red Cross and planned and directed entertainment for servicemen. After the war, with the memory of having spent several years on her feet dancing and dashing from place to place, and with the full realization of the persuasive powers of Mr. Levine, she agreed that shoes were certainly a most important item and that Herbert Levine was, indeed, just the one to promote them.
So, in 1948 Beth and Herbert founded Herbert Levine Inc. with the arrangement that he was to handle the selling and business details and she was to be responsible for the designing of the shoes.
From the outset the Levine set their goals high. Theirs were to be shoes which literally stood for elegance, fashion and new ideas. To achieve a new concept of shoe fashion the Levines will go almost to the ends of the earth. To this day Beth Levine, who instigated the trend to the extremely slender heel, has designed over 100,000 pair of shoes which have been made in the United States, airmailed to France and there fitted with an unusually slender, tapered heel [the famous Jordan Heel (2)] and then re-airmailed back to this country as a complete shoe.
Mrs. Levine is understandably proud of her shoe designs because of the unusual use of fabric, leather and color combinations for which the Levine shoe has come to be famous. During yearly travels throughout the world the Levine personally select, for their shoes, brocades from India, silks from Siam, velvets and silks from France and tie silks from Italy.
Although Beth Levine has found it exciting creating such designs as the "stocking shoe", an innovation in shoe designs which strikingly glamorizes the legs of many of the world's most famous entertainers including the very beautiful legs of Marlene Dietrich who owns several pair, she believes that the most satisfying thing about her designing work so far has been the creation of beautiful, radically new silhouettes which place as much emphasis upon fit and quality of workmanship as they do on fashion.
In private life, Beth Levine keeps as busy a schedule as she does during "office hours". The Levines live in Lower Manhattan in a spacious terraced apartment. On the home front Mrs. Levine is the attentive mother of a lively three year old daughter. It is especially for little Anna Sam Levine that the designing-half and the business-half of Herbert Levine Inc. spend their weekends on a Long Island farm. But, every Monday morning, it's back to the city and the hum of business activity for this enterprising pair of talented young shoemakers.
Two years later, both unhappy of what they were doing they decided to go independent with the help of Herb's friend Sidney Kornblum. They established Herbert Levine, Inc. on January 1949 (not 1948). The rest of the advertisement is the usual marketing fluff but at least is faultless when it comes to Beth Levine's way of doing shoes. Their combined crafts led them to winning the Neiman-Marcus Award in 1954.
Dallas, Aug. 21 - UP - A dairyman's daughter and her Phi Beta Kappa husband will reach out for muchly-coveted Neiman-Marcus fashion "Oscars" when the Texas specialty store fills its lush pink and grey halls at its 17th annual fashion exposition. The accolades will go to Beth and Herbert Levine for their part in glamorising the world's most famous feet.
…The young Levine's are the operators of Herbert Levine, Inc., the sixth largest operation of the shoe industry and now 10 times its original size. And this year the firm will attain a capacity of 5,000 shoes a week. Young Beth and her size 4-B feet took leave of the family's dairy farm in Holstville, Long Island, to become a stenographer and a shoe model for Palter Deliso. Subsequently she was employed at other leading quality shoe factories and given a chance to combine her styling and designing talents.
… the use of gold cloth and brocades from India, silks from Siam, velvets from Lyon, the silks from Como, cottons from England and dress silks from Paris has earned the Levine's a reputation for fresh and trend-making fashions in exquisite footwear. But they feel their most vital work has been in radical new shoe silhouettes which the industry had therefore felt could not be made to fit.
Beth and Herb made shoe history with their importation of a complete wooden heel from Paris - the famous Jordan Heel. (2) And the assembly of a complete resort collection of shoes set another "first" for the famous couple.
On our most recent visit to New York City we were keenly disappointed not to see Herbert and Beth - but true to form, they were in Europe discovering new leathers and the like. The Levines have always since their partnership, both personal and professional, been interested in new leather developments, new tanning methods, new textiles and other materials for shoe manufacture, They're also highly sensitive to general fashion trends which indicate changes in shoes. Quite in addition to fabric and leather and general styling, they recognize endless heel interest.
CHARLES JORDAN, Parisian bottier - not to be confused with Charles Jourdan, founder of the brand of the same name.
If you were mislead - like us - by Caroline Cox's "Vintage Shoes" you might be aware that Beth Levine worked a brief stint at I.Miller but never as a designer, let alone their chief designer.

Q: Using trapz and linspace to evaluate an integral in Matlab I have two functions f(x) and g(x), and I need to find a numerical approximation to the area bounded by the two curves.
How do I do this using the trapz and linspace functions?
Thanks

A: Suppose I want to integrate over $[0 ,2\pi]$, and divide that into $1000$ subintervals.
To do this, first create a vector for the interval:

>>X = linspace(0,2*pi,1000);

Then create a vector containing the function values you want to integrate. If $f(x) = \sin(x)$ and $g(x) = x^2$ then the area between them is equal to the integral of their difference, and I would use

>>Y = sin(X) - X.^2;

finally, integrate

>>my_answer = trapz(X,Y);

Or, if you want it to display the answer, you can omit the semi-colon. e.g.

>>my_answer = trapz(X,Y)
ans = -82.6834

or if you don't even care about storing the value (only displaying it)

>>trapz(X,Y)
ans = -82.6834

The Moonlight Scribbler: Notes and Observations From the Little House in the Ghetto.
2014 City League Preview Week 7
University Prep
Allderdice
The final week of league play in the Pittsburgh City League starts this Thursday night with a few loose strings to tie up. University Prep and Allderdice have sewn up the top two playoff spots with unblemished league records going into their big tilt Friday afternoon. Brashear has a one game edge over Carrick and Perry for the third seed, and the Commodores and Raiders have important games this week to settle the final spot.
The playoff scenario is such, at least the Advocate hopes he's reading this correctly:
1. Allderdice and U-Prep play Friday afternoon, winner gets #1 seed in the playoffs.
2. Brashear and Carrick play Thursday night. If Brashear wins, they snag the #3 spot. If Carrick wins, both teams are tied at 2-3, and to throw an left-handed monkey wrench into the works, if Perry beats Westinghouse on Friday night, then we'll have a good ol' fashioned three team dogpile for the fourth and final spot.
City League tiebreaker rules for a three team pileup call for the head to head results between all the teams in the dogpile. In this case: Carrick would be 1-1 (loss to Perry, win against Brashear), Perry would be 1-1 (win against Carrick, loss to Brashear) and Brashear would be 1-1 (beat Perry and lost to Carrick). The next phase of the tiebreaker would be head to head wins against the 1st place team, 2nd place, etc. All three teams in the dogpile lost to both U-Prep and Allderdice, and beat Westinghouse. So, the final part of this kerfuffle, should it get this far, is the always exciting coin flip. The Advocate does not know how the City does a coin flip tiebreaker. Do they get all three coaches together at midnight at Ritter's over in Bloomfield, flip a coin, kick the odd man out, and then the two survivors flip for the third and fourth spots? The Advocate hasn't a clue, because he's never seen a tiebreaker go this far.
When Allderdice and Perry last played back in week 2, the Dragons squeaked by the Commodores on the strength of making their extra points, while the Commodores missed theirs. Last week, the Dragons continued on their dominant ways by crushing the One Stars 41-0. Allderdice excelled in all facets of the game, especially in converting 3 Perry turnovers into touchdowns. Timothy Jackson scored on a punt return of 75 yards, Lamone Dixon turned a fumble into a 39 yard scoring play, and Dominic Balsamo scored on a 25 yard pick-six. Quarterback James Jackson called his own number twice scoring from 1 and 15 yards, and Jeremiah Hardrick scored on a 6 yard run. The Dragons racked up 239 total yards of offense to Perry's 112. Allderdice has mercy ruled its last four opponents in a row.
University Prep continued its perfect season beating Carrick 42-12. Ron Brown passed for 370 yards and five touchdowns including two TD passes each to Desean Bonneau and Kenny Robinson. Brown has thrown for 1,084 yards and 14 touchdowns this season. Not as productive as the incredible season he had last year when he threw for over 3,000 yards and 40 TD's, but still the class of the City League this season.
Brashear eliminated the Westinghouse Bulldogs from playoff consideration winning their matchup 40-6. Khalil Saunders ran for 119 yards on 16 carries, and scored two touchdowns on runs of 7 and 30 yards. Therran Coleman scored twice on runs of 8 and 6 yards. Romello Jones picked up a Bulldog fumble and ran 50 yards for a score and Ty Powe scored off a 53 yard run. Westinghouse's lone score came off a 50 yard pass from D'Asonte White to Robert Williams. The 'House was held to 76 yards of offense and committed 4 turnovers.
Thursday October 9
Carrick vs Brashear
Brashear needs to win to stay out of the dogpile mentioned above. Carrick needs to win to keep its playoff hopes alive. Carrick has some players that, in time, could make the Raiders a potential playoff threat, but not this year. Brashear has the weapons to win this game and grab a spot in the playoffs. Brashear.
University Prep vs Allderdice
This is the marquee matchup in the City League this season, and for those who may be looking for a tasty appetizer, an amuse bouche as it were, before going to their favorite Friday night football feast, the Advocate recommends this savory little number. Both teams have dominated the City League this season. The last time the Advocate saw an Allderdice team this strong was when a certain running back named Curtis Martin provided the bulk of the Dragon offense. Allderdice has a versatile offense that can score off the run and the pass, fueled by the Jackson twins. U-Prep has the best quarterback in the league in Ron Brown, and his receivers have picked up the slack left from last year's graduation losses. While Prep doesn't have the stud running backs the 'Dice has, Brown has no problem calling his own number. The Dragon defense has not been tested since week 1, the Wildcat's defense is a little more suspect, and they haven't seen an offense as potent as Allderdice's this season. Since its inception in 2011, U-Prep has beaten the 'Dice five straight times. This game is too close to call. It could come down to the final play, or one team will blow out the other. Expect footballs to fly all over the George, as both quarterbacks love to air it out. It's also very possible that both teams may meet again with hardware on the line, so both coaches may keep a little something something in the bag for that fateful meeting on November 1st. But the Advocate thinks that this is the 'Dice's year. So he's going all in. Allderdice.
Perry vs Westinghouse
Perry is playing for its playoff life tomorrow night. Despite the disappointing season, the Commodores cling to a scant opportunity of getting into the post-season, but it will be as a part of a big fat dogpile that might come down to the flip of a coin, and that's only if Carrick can give the One Stars a little bit of help and beat Brashear. Perry should be able to beat the 'House, but depending on forces beyond their control, that may not be enough. Perry.

Africa is not a destination - it is a point of origin. The continent holds a very special place in the psyche of the human race, and many of the earliest explorers of Africa found that once they visited, there was no return. The African land mass held them there, captivated by the beauty of its land, the wild jungles and savannahs, and the amazing mix of cultures that have flourished. Underlying the face of modern Africa, beneath the veneer of colonial artifact, is a brief glimpse at the most archetypal of human endeavors and imagination - the pyramids, tribes of Zulu and Masai, wild life red in tooth and claw. Today's visitors will often speak of how Africa is in some mysterious way a life-changing experience. At the very least, it is the experience of a lifetime!
Africa is the place for you!

Kate Spade's Death Ignites Concern About Rising Suicide Rate
By Liz Szabo	 June 7, 2018
Kate Spade, pictured here with husband Andy Spade in 2006, died Tuesday at age 55. Andy Spade said in a statement that she "suffered from depression and anxiety for many years" and "was actively seeking help." (Donald Bowers/Getty for Company Agenda)
This story also ran on USA Today.	This story can be republished for free (details).
Fashion designer Kate Spade's death Tuesday has reminded Americans of the enormous toll of suicide, a growing problem that claims nearly 45,000 lives a year.
Suicide rates in the U.S. have risen nearly 30 percent since 1999, according to a report released Thursday from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Suicides increased in both men and women, in all ethnic groups and in both urban and rural areas. Suicide and "self-harm," a category that includes attempted suicides, cost the nation $70 billion a year in medical care and lost work time.
Nearly half of people who died by suicide had a known mental health condition, according to the CDC. Family members have given different accounts of Spade's struggle. In media interviews, her sister, Reta Saffo, has said that she believes the designer suffered from bipolar disorder, also known as manic depression. The designer's husband said in a statement that she "suffered from depression and anxiety for many years" and "was actively seeking help."
Regardless of the exact diagnosis, it seems that Spade was among the millions of Americans suffering from serious mental illness, said Dr. Jeffrey Lieberman, a professor of psychiatry at Columbia University, who has no personal knowledge of the case. The country needs to take suicide and mental illness more seriously, said Lieberman, noting that both depression and bipolar disorder can be treated successfully, and that suicide is often preventable.
"Suicide is not an acceptable outcome for depression," Lieberman said.
Although more Americans die from suicides than car accidents or opioids, the stigma of mental illness prevents suicide from getting much attention, apart from fleeting news coverage when celebrities, such as comedian Robin Williams, take their own lives, Lieberman said.
People suffering from serious mental illness are at high risk of suicide, said Dr. Jennifer Payne, director of the Women's Mood Disorders Center at Johns Hopkins Hospital. About 10 percent of people with major depression die of suicide. About 15 percent of people with bipolar disorder die from suicide.
In general, mental illness first appears when people are in their teens or 20s. Sometimes, however, friends and families of people with a milder form of bipolar disorder — one that does not induce psychotic behavior — can mistake their condition for depression, Payne said. People who experience milder manic episodes— called hypomania — can seem energetic and productive, rather than deranged.
It's also common for people with mental illness to suffer from multiple conditions, such as bipolar disorder and panic disorder, Lieberman said. A proportion of people with mental illness also suffer from substance abuse, as well, sometimes "self-medicating" to ease their moods.
Although drugs such as lithium can effectively treat bipolar disorders, some people with the condition are reluctant to use the medication because they feel it dulls their creativity, Payne said.

Although mental illness can be life-threatening, many people with depression or bipolar disorder lead successful lives. Actresses Carrie Fisher and Margot Kidder spoke openly about coping with bipolar disorder. Pop stars Mariah Carey and Demi Lovato also have acknowledged having bipolar disorder.
Abraham Lincoln spoke of his depression, and some now believe that British prime minister Winston Churchill suffered from bipolar disorder, said Dr. Ken Duckworth, medical director of the National Alliance on Mental Illness. Psychologist Kay Redfield Jamison, a professor at Johns Hopkins who has bipolar disorder, has written of the link between bipolar disorder and creativity in her book "Touched With Fire: Manic-Depressive Illness and the Artistic Temperament."
Payne said she doesn't hide her daughter's bipolar diagnosis. Her daughter has been hospitalized at the hospital where she works. But her daughter is also a successful college student, who earns straight A's and wins awards for her poetry.
Beyond medication, people with bipolar disorder can benefit from psychotherapy, which can help them recognize triggers and early warning signs that they may be entering a manic episode, Duckworth said.
He advises patients to keep regular schedules, including waking up, exercising and going to sleep at the same time every day. He counsels patients in college not to pull all-nighters or stay up late at parties. Getting enough sleep can be vital.
Duckworth notes that his father suffered from bipolar disorder and was hospitalized 25 times. Although he gambled heavily during his manic episodes, his father maintained a steady job and a 52-year marriage, Duckworth said.
At his funeral, he was so well-loved," Duckworth said. "It was impossible to tell he had bipolar disorder."

Anxiety affects a staggering number of South Africans of all ages and from all walks of life.
A 2014 Sunday Times article reported that a third of South Africans suffer from mental illness. The report went on to say "More than 17-million people in South Africa are dealing with depression, substance abuse, anxiety, bipolar disorder and schizophrenia". SADAG – The South African Depression and Anxiety Group states that 1 in 6 South Africans suffer from anxiety.
The number of South Africans who are being diagnosed as having an anxiety disorder is growing at an alarming rate, and the numbers have been increasing for some time now. In response to the alarming growth in anxiety disorders, pharmaceutical companies developed numerous drugs to try and treat anxiety disorders, from SSRIs to benzodiazepines.
While the above mentioned drugs can be effective for some patients in helping alleviate anxiety, some sufferers don't have such a good experience. Certain anxiety sufferers don't see much of an improvement at all, or they may have experienced some of the many side effects that these medications can dish out. Additionally, benzos like Diazepam and Xanax can be highly addictive.
Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) – People with GAD experience frequent and excessive nervousness about many facets of everyday life and have a hard time controlling these worries. Even when they know they're experiencing more anxiety than is warranted for a situation, they can't stop feeling concerned.
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) – While most people think of OCD as being overly neat or organized, it causes as much distress as other anxiety disorders. OCD causes intrusive thoughts – or obsessions – that compel the patient to conduct repeated actions – or compulsions – to calm down.
Social anxiety disorder – Another misunderstood form of anxiety, social anxiety disorder, goes far beyond shyness. In reality, it makes the patient feel severe anxiety about social interaction. They often worry about judgment from others when in social situations.
Panic disorder – Patients with panic disorder get sudden, unpredicted panic attacks that cause a racing heartbeat, hyperventilation and other intense symptoms. They often worry about getting panic attacks, which compounds the issue.
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) – Patients who have gone through a traumatic event, such as war, disasters, abuse, tragedy or other life-changing or life-threatening occurrences, can develop PTSD. This illness causes the patient to have intense flashbacks about the event, avoid trauma reminders and constantly feel on edge.
Specific phobias – We all have our fears, but patients with phobias have an extreme fear reaction to the thing they are afraid of. Even though they know they have an irrational fear, they have difficulty controlling it.
Like other mental illness patients, people with anxiety disorders are often dismissed as overreacting. Sometimes, people will tell them just to calm down. But people with anxiety have a much harder time calming down than someone without it.
The relationship between Cannabis and anxiety is incredibly complex. One the one hand, cannabis is often used to calm the mind and body. It's a natural painkiller, and one that people use often to self-medicate. On the other hand, studies have linked Cannabis to problems with anxiety – both causing anxiety on its own, and making anxiety worse.
With that in mind, another truth about marijuana use is that the drug can cause different reactions in different people. One person might experience relaxation effect, while others may experience an intense and frightening hallucination.
Dosing affects this, but so does a person's expectations, and this is a key problem with those living with anxiety – often those living with anxiety unintentionally assume a negative reaction (even if they don't expect it). This, in turn, causes a more anxious reaction.
So those that have anxiety that causes negative thinking (like most people with generalized anxiety disorder), this can be a problem, because marijuana's effects will conform to those thoughts, and a negative reaction becomes more likely.
Another serious issue can occur in people with anxiety attacks/panic attacks. Panic attacks are technically an anxiety disorder, but they are also a reaction to physical sensations. A person feels something in their body, and suddenly they get this rush of intense anxiety along with genuine physical symptoms as a result of that stress.
While some of these may be the result of the THC's relaxation properties, someone living with panic attacks is less likely to respond to the experience with relaxation, and many instead respond with a panic attack or rush of anxiety.
THC impacts the neural communications between the amygdala and the rest of your brain. This hypes your emotion to a point that's going to leave you feeling a heightened sentiment. Some individuals understand this sensation and take it in with full affection. Others aren't so keen on it and find it rather unsettling, especially new users who have little experience with getting high.
Endocannabinoids that your body naturally produces are the chemicals responsible for relieving anxiety. Through research, it has been discovered that people who've undergone much stress and/or trauma – such as those affected by PTSD – naturally produce fewer endocannabinoids. And smoking Cannabis helps stimulate the missing chemicals in their brains. This gives us a small insight as to why marijuana helps relieve stress in certain individuals.
One study comparing the effects of THC and CBD even found that, while THC increased anxiety by activating the neurotransmitters involved in the "fight or flight" response, CBD actually repressed autonomic arousal—or the nervous system response associated with sudden increases in heart rate or respiration. In other words, CBD is ideal for people looking to relax and unwind—not get out of their minds.
5-HT1A – CBD works by exerting several actions on the brain. It has been proven effective in boosting signalling via a serotonin receptor 5-HT1A agonist. 5-HT1A is a serotonin receptor subtype that is important because depression and anxiety can be treated with drugs that target the serotonin system. That is why selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are often prescribed, they work by blocking serotonin re-absorption in the brain. This, in turn, increases serotonin availability in the synaptic space. Consequently, there is an increase in the signals that are transmitted by the brain cells, thereby boosting mood and reducing anxiety in some cases. CBD works similarly to SSRIs. By boosting signalling via serotonin receptors. Some studies have even shown that CBD can enhance 5HT1A transmission and its effect on serotonin may be faster than that of SSRIs.
Hippocampus – The hippocampus is an area in the brain that plays a significant role in various brain functions. It is particularly known for its role in cognition and memory formation. Scans of anxiety and depression patients actually reveal a smaller hippocampus. And, depression therapeutic aids show regeneration of neurons or neurogenesis in this area. That means these therapeutic aids may help with depression and anxiety. Both CBD and SSRIs have been proven effective in promoting neurogenesis. This is important because evidence shows that when severely impaired, neuronal plasticity can lead to suicidal behaviours.
People interested in managing their anxiety with CBD oil should look exclusively at research on cannabidiol, not generalized studies of medical Cannabis. Although there are fewer studies on cannabidiol specifically, the preliminary research is promising.
A small 2010 study found that cannabidiol could reduce symptoms of social anxiety in people with social anxiety disorder (SAD). Brain scans of participants revealed changes in blood flow to the regions of the brain linked to feelings of anxiety. In this study, cannabidiol not only made participants feel better but also changed the way their brains responded to anxiety. A 2011 study also found that cannabidiol could reduce social anxiety. For that study, researchers looked specifically at cannabidiol to treat anxiety associated with public speaking. Research published in 2014 found that CBD oil had anti-anxiety and antidepressant effects in an animal model. A 2015 analysis of previous studies concluded that CBD oil is a promising treatment for numerous forms of anxiety, including social anxiety disorder, panic disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder.
Evidence from animal studies have begun to characterize the details of how CBD acts in the brain, and human studies of patients with and without anxiety disorders are starting to validate CBD's efficacy as an anti-anxiety treatment. Given the huge social and financial costs of anxiety disorders in South Africa, CBD has the potential to play a significant role in treating a myriad of anxiety-related disorders. Therefore, considering the therapeutic aid of an anxiety-related disorder, it may eventually become a highly favourable, safer, and effective therapeutic aid for anxiety compared to the available conventional drugs.

Q: C# equivalent of C++ map I want to keep some totals for different accounts. In C++ I'd use STL like this:
map<string,double> accounts;

// Add some amounts to some accounts.
accounts["Fred"] += 4.56;
accounts["George"] += 1.00;
accounts["Fred"] += 1.00;

cout << "Fred owes me $" << accounts['Fred'] << endl;

Now, how would I do the same thing in C# ?

A: You want the Dictionary class.

A: Dictionary<string, double> accounts;

A: Dictionary is the most common, but you can use other types of collections, e.g.
System.Collections.Generic.SynchronizedKeyedCollection, System.Collections.Hashtable, or any KeyValuePair collection

A: This code is all you need:
   static void Main(string[] args) {
        String xml = @"
            <transactions>
                <transaction name=""Fred"" amount=""5,20"" />
                <transaction name=""John"" amount=""10,00"" />
                <transaction name=""Fred"" amount=""3,00"" />
            </transactions>";

        XDocument xmlDocument = XDocument.Parse(xml);

        var query = from x in xmlDocument.Descendants("transaction")
                    group x by x.Attribute("name").Value into g
                    select new { Name = g.Key, Amount = g.Sum(t => Decimal.Parse(t.Attribute("amount").Value)) };

        foreach (var item in query) {
            Console.WriteLine("Name: {0}; Amount: {1:C};", item.Name, item.Amount);
        }
    }

And the content is:
Name: Fred; Amount: R$ 8,20;

Name: John; Amount: R$ 10,00;
That is the way of doing this in C# - in a declarative way!
I hope this helps,
Ricardo Lacerda Castelo Branco

A: Although System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary matches the tag "hashmap" and will work well in your example, it is not an exact equivalent of C++'s std::map - std::map is an ordered collection.
If ordering is important you should use SortedDictionary.

A: Roughly:-
var accounts = new Dictionary<string, double>();

// Initialise to zero...

accounts["Fred"] = 0;
accounts["George"] = 0;
accounts["Fred"] = 0;

// Add cash.
accounts["Fred"] += 4.56;
accounts["George"] += 1.00;
accounts["Fred"] += 1.00;

Console.WriteLine("Fred owes me ${0}", accounts["Fred"]);

A: While we are talking about STL, maps and dictionary, I'd recommend taking a look at the C5 library.  It offers several types of dictionaries and maps that I've frequently found useful (along with many other interesting and useful data structures).
If you are a C++ programmer moving to C# as I did, you'll find this library a great resource (and a data structure for this  dictionary).
-Paul

A: The closest equivalent of C++ std::map<> (a tree internally) is C# OrderedDictionary<> (a tree internally), while C# OrderedDictionary<> is missing some very important methods from C++ std::map<>, namely: std::map::find, std::map::lower_bound, std::map::upper_bound, std::map::equal_range, and std::map iterators, which are basically the backbone for the previous 4 methods.
Why those 4 methods are important? Because it gives us the ability to locate the "whereabouts" of a given key, in addition to only being able to check if a key exists, or the SortedDictionary is guaranteed to be ordered.
What is "whereabouts" of a key in a std::map? The key doesn't necessarily have to exist in the collection, we want to know the location the key might be at, usually between two iterators pointing to two adjacent existing keys respectively in the collection, so we can operate on the range the key falls into in a O(logN) complexity. Without such 4 methods (with iterators), one has to do an O(N) iteration through the collection every time a range is queried against a key.


Erfurt is the largest city in the state of Thuringia in central Germay.
The houses here are so cute too! They are different than the cities up north with the pastel coloured walls and all basically the same height they are just so cute to look at and every photo comes out like a postcard!
This place has such an interesting history! Building began by the Electorate of Mainz of the Roman Empire in 1665 and was built on the site of a Benedictine Monastery which date back to the 12th C.
We decided to stay at the caravan park for the 2nd night tonight as it's a great place, 10mins outside city centre with the tram (either #1 or 3), €10.30 for the 3 of us on the 1 ticket for a full day of travel, trams come every 3 or so minutes, so easy!
I love the idea of the listening tunnels. That's paranoia to the max.

Winners 2011 Skyscraper Competition
By: admin | March - 7 - 2011
eVolo Magazine is pleased to announce?the winners of the 2011 Skyscraper Competition. Established in 2006, the annual Skyscraper Competition recognizes outstanding ideas that redefine skyscraper design through the use of new technologies, materials, programs, aesthetics, and spatial organizations, along with studies on globalization, flexibility, adaptability, and the digital revolution. This is also an investigation on the public and private space and the role of the individual and the collective in the creation of a dynamic and adaptive vertical community. The award seeks to discover young talent, whose ideas will change the way we understand architecture and its relationship with the natural and built environments.
The Jury of the 2011 edition was formed by leaders of the architecture and design fields including: Juan Azulay [principal Matter Management, professor at Southern California Institute of Architecture], CarloMaria Ciampoli [port director Live Architecture Network], Mario Cipresso [principal Studio Shift, professor at University of Southern California], Ted Givens [principal 10 Design], Eric Goldemberg [principal Monad Studio, professor at Florida International University], Jose Gonzalez [principal Softlab, professor at Pratt Institute], John Hill [editor Archidose], Mitchell Joachim [principal Terreform One, professor at New York University], Andrew Liang [principal Studio 0.10., professor at University of Southern California], Javier Quintana [principal Taller Basico de Arquitectura, Dean of IE School of Architecture], Rezza Rahdian [Architect, Second Place 2009 Skyscraper Competition], Michel Rojkind [principal Rojkind Arquitectos], and Michael Szivos [principal Softlab, professor at Pratt Institute]. The Jury selected 3 winners and 32 honorable mentions. eVolo Magazine received 715 projects from all five continents and 95 different countries.
The first place was awarded to Atelier CMJN (Julien Combes, Ga?l Brulé) from France for their 'LO2P Recycling Skyscraper' in New Delhi, India. The project is designed as a large-scale wind turbine that filters polluted air with a series of particle collector membranes, elevated greenhouses, and mineralization baths.
The second place was awarded to Yoann Mescam, Paul-Eric Schirr-Bonnans, and Xavier Schirr-Bonnans from France for a dome-like horizontal skyscraper that harvests solar energy, collects rainwater, and preserves the existing urban fabric at ground level thanks to its large skylights and small footprint.
The recipient of the third place is Yheu-Shen Chua from the United Kingdom for a project that re-imagines the Hoover Dam in the U.S. as an inhabitable skyscraper that unifies the power plant with a gallery, aquarium, and viewing platform that engages the falling water directly.
Among the honorable mentions there are "waterscrapers" that clean oil spills and desalinate sea water, inverted skyscrapers for a floating Olympic villa, recycling towers, research skyscrapers that harvest lightning power, vertical cemeteries and amusement parks, sports skyscrapers, fish farms, and "living mountains" for desert climates. Other proposals use the latest building technologies and parametric design to configure environmentally conscious self-sufficient buildings.
eVolo Magazine would like to acknowledge all the competitors for their effort, vision, and passion for architectural innovation and the members of the Jury for their knowledge, time, and enthusiasm during the long review process.
eVolo Magazine is also pleased to announce the publication of a Limited Edition ?book (only 500 copies) that celebrates the sixth anniversary of the prestigious international Skyscraper Competition. With more than 3,000 projects received, we are showcasing the best 300 proposals from the past six years, including 2011, in a large-format hardcover book. Our goal is to edit a true gem of contemporary architecture printed in over one-thousand full-color pages.

LO2P: Delhi Recycling Center
Atelier CMJN
Julien Combes, Ga?l Brulé
Conceived as a giant turbine the LO2P skyscraper would be located in New Delhi, one of the most polluted cities in the world due to the exponential increase in population and cars -it is estimated that number of cars grows by one-thousand every day.
The idea behind this skyscraper is to recycle the old cars and use them as building material for the new structure. The building is designed as a giant lung that would clean New Delhi's air through a series of large-scale greenhouses that serve as filters. Another set of rotating filters capture the suspended particles in the air while the waste heat and carbon dioxide from the recycling center are used to grow plants that in turn produce bio-fuels.

Flat Tower
Yoann Mescam, Paul-Eric Schirr-Bonnans, Xavier Schirr-Bonnans
The construction of skyscrapers has been an architectural solution for high-density urban areas for almost a century for its ability to combine height with a small footprint. Today there is a constant race between large metropolises and nations to build the tallest structure, but it has been proven that this typology is sometimes not desirable for medium-size cities where skyscrapers destroy the skyline and disrupt the infrastructure of a specific location.
The Flat Tower is a new high-density typology that deviates from the traditional skyscraper. It is based on a medium-height dome structure that covers a large area while preserving its beauty and previous function. The dome is perforated with cell-like skylights that provide direct sunlight to the agricultural fields and to the interior spaces. The dome's large surface area is perfect to harvest solar energy and rainwater collection. Read the rest of this entry »
Re-imagining the Hoover Dam
Yheu-Shen Chua
The current public amenities of the world-famous Hoover Dam in the United States consist of a viewing platform, a bridge, and a gallery scattered around the entire site. This project aims to reconfigure these programs by merging them into a single vertical super structure.
One of the main purposes of the project is to allow the water from the upstream river to engage directly with the visitors through a series of containers. A hanging tower above the 700-foot drop into the Black Canyon would be used as gallery and a vertical aquarium. Read the rest of this entry »
NeoTax: Three-dimensional City Grid
Studio DMTW
Marc Anton Dahmen, Rene Lierschaft, Anna-Maria Wiedekind
NeoTax is a proposal for a three-dimensional city grid as a response to dead ends, long connection paths, wasted area, and interference with surface-related bio-ecological processes generated by standard skyscrapers.
NeoTax is a three-dimensional infrastructure network organized in a horizontal and vertical street grid that offers short connection paths and higher urban density with better local communications, less social isolation, and higher number of neighbor interactions. This projects seeks to create a hyper-rectangle, where residents can occupy a building site on X, Y and Z coordinates.
The network is based on a modular system where each module can be viewed as a separate quarter or neighborhood. It is designed to be able to expand by adding new infrastructure modules with plug-in residences that are less dependent on specific terrain conditions. Read the rest of this entry »
PoroCity: Rehabilitation for Mumbai, India
Khushalani Associates
Rajiv Khushalani, Thomas Kariath, Mihir Sanganee
PoroCity is a project that seeks to re-organize extremely high density environments into an integrated three-dimensional city while addressing sustainability problems.
The specific site for this proposal is Dharavi, Mumbai, India; one of the largest slums in the world and one of the most contentious sites of the new millennium.
It is poised for being the one of the largest regeneration schemes of recent times and has attracted investments from some the world's biggest real estate companies and leading global architecture and planning firms. Spread over 216 hectares, the site is triangular in plan, and has a residential population of 376,000 people. In addition to the residential population, the district has an estimated 5000 businesses and 1500 single room industries. A large number of these businesses are hybrid homes, where residents live and work in the same area. There is also a lack of public amenities, including schools, hospitals, and parks.
PoroCity is an urban proposal which addresses the physical and economic concerns of the area while preserving the hybrid homes and the strong communal bonds. It is derived from a progressive subdivision of a right-angled Sierpenski's Pyramid, giving a range of volumes and voids to incorporate a variety of programs. Read the rest of this entry »
Tower for the Dead
Israel López Balan, Elsa Mendoza Andrés, Moisés Adrián Hernández García
Over the next four decades the number of people over 65 years old will increase by more than three-fold in developing countries, reaching 1.6 billion by 2050. On the other hand, Mexico City's buildable area is extremely scarce and limited growth is only possible towards the outskirts of the city, with the consequent loss of agricultural land and environmental consequences.
This project proposes an underground vertical cemetery for Mexico City – a vision that takes into consideration the overpopulation, the scarcity of land, and the psychological and sensory experience of grieving. The 'Tower for the Dead' allows the family members of the deceased to be reborn, after a trip to the underworld, where they just buried their loved one.
The proposal was conceived as a large-scale screw with curved retaining walls and ramps with an enormous light-well that provides light and ventilation. Read the rest of this entry »
Fish Tower
Hsing-O Chiang
The Fish Tower is a prototype for a vertical fish farm that could be up to 30 times more efficient than traditional farms. It was designed as a solution to the substantial decrease of wild fish which is estimated to peak by 2050.
This tower proposes an intensive, yet healthy aquaculture environment with three primary programmatic components. The first one is a fisherman's market and visitors center at ground level. The second component is the fish farms that are designed based on the research and analysis of habitation and movement of specific fish species. Each tank has specific width, form, and shape that resemble natural habitats. Water temperature and flow are also controlled to mimic ocean conditions. The third program is dedicated to research labs, where new technologies would be tested to achieve a productivity of 600 traditional fish farms in 20 levels. Read the rest of this entry »
Sports Tower
Sergiy Prokof`yev, Olga Prokof`yeva
One of the most iconic building typologies of all civilizations has been the sports arena; being a gladiator's coliseum in ancient Rome, Olympic tracks in Greece, or soccer stadiums in the modern world , competitions and tournaments have been an integral part of the development of our cultures. Nowadays, with a variety of sports and the need of several specific facilities, urban planners have usually scattered them in different areas of the cities according to available land, communication routes, and existing infrastructure.
This project proposes a vertical complex that would accommodate a variety of sports facilities in one site. The main intention is to create a cluster of functions that would alleviate multiple areas of a city and make the most efficient use of a specific site. Users and fans will be allowed to freely move between stadiums and matches. A public complex that will be in use the majority of the day and that would be able to host international events, including the Soccer World Cup, Olympics, and Tennis tournaments. Its diversity in sports and visiting people would allow for new interactions between people of different nationalities and social backgrounds. Read the rest of this entry »
RE:pH – Coastscraper
Gary Kellett
The World's oceans cover over 70% of the planet's surface, contribute to half of its primary production and contain an enormous diversity of life. They also play a vital role in the Earth's life support system through regulating climate and global biogeochemical cycles through their capacity to absorb atmospheric carbon dioxide.
The pH (a measure of acidity; the lower the pH, the greater the acidity) of pristine seawater measures from 8 to 8.3, meaning oceans are naturally alkaline. When carbon dioxide dissolves in seawater it forms carbonic acid. As more C02 is taken up by the oceans' surface, the pH decreases towards a less alkali and therefore a more acidic state. This is called "ocean acidification" and is happening at a rate that hasn't been experienced for at least 400,000 years. The effect of ocean acidification on marine ecosystems and organisms that inhabit them has only recently been recognized and is of serious concern to scientists and policy makers involved in climate change, biodiversity, and the marine environment.
The underpinning concept for the Coastalscraper is to reduce the acid levels of the oceans by adding fossilized Coccolithophores to the water. The perfect location for the project is the south east corner of England, with a vast geological swathe of Coccolithophore (white chalk) spanning from the outskirts of London, and terminating in what is known as The White Cliffs of Dover. The scheme proposes that these vast chalk deposits are to be excavated, refined and stored in large silos before being pumped out to sea where it can begin to neutralize the effects of sea acidity.

Congrats on the laundry. That is an accomplishment. It is a pretty daunting task. You clean work shirts!!! Wow, I prefer to send that stuff out. How is the new job?
My dear, you are very brave.
You are also very beautiful and I love your care and attention for your new life. I read through some of your old posts, and you are a wonderful wife.
I'm impressed. I have only just recently managed to master the art that is "laundry". And it took me well over 8 years to accomplish it. Of course, maybe it wasn't so much that I didn't know how as it was that I didn't want to know how. So that's pretty awesome for you.
I just have to say that I am so glad that you decided to keep writing. For awhile there I was afraid you wouldn't. Thanks!
Great post! Glad to hear you're feeling better.
Sounds like you two are trying your best to keep your chins up and move on (which sounds awful, but I couldnt think of anything else to call it).
I'm sure you two will be back on track and in the saddle again soon. Best of luck.
Also, when I run out of underwear--REALLY run out--I am not above wearing his.
I wear jeans and t-shirts to work currently so washing anything that requires any attention is out. I used to, but I hated it. I'm impressed as I'm not sure I would have mustered up the desire to tackle that job!
P.S. I love Katrina saying she'd wear her hubby's underwear if necessary!
I love laundry, and my dearest is not allowed to fold or hang up my clothes, because no matter how hard he tries (which honestly? not that hard, especially compared with your efforts) he never hangs the shirts up facing the right way.
so - you are a better wife than my man will be a husband.
also, someday I will own my own washer & dryer and my life will be (slightly more) complete.
You did a great job, my husband never let me iron his shirts...!!!
Anyway, I hope you're feeling better!!
I guess I missed some stuff, since I've been out of town and not staying caught up on blogs. I can guess, though, and I hope you are doing okay. You are in my thoughts and prayers!
I was just thinking about you today. Hope you're doing well, Newly.
I've been such an absent blogger lately, and now I return to fnd that you're dealing with some level of unknown tragedy. Whatever it is, I'm glad to hear that you're doing better. I will keep you and newlyhusbanded in my prayers.
okay, so by doing your husband's work shirts do you mean anything involved with IRONING??? because that is just taking things way too far. you can't do crap like that. you're making the rest of us look bad. we can't keep up with all this excellent wifing!
I'm glad that you're still going to continue writing. I've enjoyed following along your first year of newly-wedded bliss (and all the rest), as mine is just beginning. From what I hear, the first year is the most chaotic, so from here on out, things will be...less chaotic? :) Us wives must only dream.
Good luck with everything - and kudos on the laundry. I do laundry once every 2 weeks or so. And my biggest issue comes when I'm finished folding all the laundry, and I see that there are about 7 stacks of clothes for my husband (not counting like 17 pairs of socks), and only a few shirts, underwear and nylons on my side. Um, how is it that I am the one doing laundry when I OBVIOUSLY am producing such a small portion?
Anyway. :) Enough of that.
Come back, Newly, we miss you!
Did She Take the Deal?

Tom Lehrer Puts Whatever He Hadn't Already Donated To The Public Domain Into The Public Domain
from the a-real-hero dept
Hopefully, you already know who Tom Lehrer is, and are by now common with his audio, but if you're somehow in the dark, I suggest you read through this superb profile, or take a look at his unofficial official YouTube channel. Or, stop by his web-site wherever you can download every little thing for free (he even begs you not to mail him funds).
We have penned about Lehrer two times just before, both regarding his views on effectively releasing his music in the community area. Back again in 2014, we wrote about how a enthusiast had in essence place all of his operates on YouTube, and then contacted Lehrer to apologize. Lehrer explained to him there was absolutely nothing to apologize for: he was happy the will work were out there. The lover then requested if he desired to do one thing to make sure that no just one would at any time copyright strike the films, and Lehrer again suggests not to worry, as significantly as he's involved it is all in the community domain, and he has no heirs to trigger difficulties soon after he dies:
Although Lehrer has built startlingly little effort and hard work to make sure a long term for his function, a handful of superfans have filled in the hole. Just one is Erik Meyn, a Norwegian who manages the Tom Lehrer Wisdom Channel on YouTube, a feed of general performance videos and playlists that has received much more than 10 million sights because 2007. Meyn initially posted written content to the channel devoid of Lehrer's authorization and known as him from overseas in December 2008 to apologize, a conversation he later posted on the "Tom Lehrer!" Fb web page. An excerpt:
TL: Perfectly, you see, I'm great with that channel.
EM: You're really sort. But my issue is: Who in your household will consider treatment of your copyright and your tunes in the distant future?
TL: I really don't have a family.
EM: Okay, but what do you think will come about to the channel and your tracks? And if you have another person who will act on your behalf, could you give them my title in scenario they'd want the channel taken down?
TL: Indeed, but there's no have to have to get rid of that channel.
EM: I was just asking yourself what will transpire in the potential, simply because you are surely heading to continue on to promote information.
TL: Properly, I never need to have to make income following I'm lifeless. These matters will be taken care of.
EM: I experience like I gave away some of your music to general public domain without the need of even inquiring you, and that wasn't really wonderful of me.
TL: But I'm great with that, you know.
EM: Will you establish any form of foundation or charity or a thing like that?
TL: No, I won't. They are mostly rip-offs.
Then, in 2020, we wrote about him once again, noting that he had place up a web page exactly where he experienced declared that all of his lyrics had been formally dedicated to the community domain, and he encouraged people to do what they preferred with them. At the time, we pointed out that this did not protect the true new music, but Lehrer experienced prompt he would insert that at a potential time.
Seemingly, that long term time has come. Lehrer has expanded the letter on his internet site, now dated to November of 2022, even if significantly of it is similar to what we wrote about two decades in the past. But the big variation is that he's now which includes all of the songs in the general public domain devotion:
I, Tom Lehrer, and the Tom Lehrer Rely on 2007, hereby grant the pursuing permissions:
All copyrights to lyrics or tunes penned or composed by me have been relinquished, and hence these tracks are now in the community area. All of my music that have never ever been copyrighted, obtaining been available for totally free for so extensive, are now also in the general public domain.
The latter consists of all lyrics which I have created to tunes by others, even though the audio to this sort of parodies, if copyrighted by their composers, are of training course not involved without having authorization of their copyright homeowners. The translated songs on this website may be located on YouTube in their authentic languages.
Accomplishing and recording legal rights to all of my music are included in this authorization. Translation legal rights are also bundled.
In certain, permission is hereby granted to any one to established any of these lyrics to their individual tunes, or to set any of this tunes to their personal lyrics, and to publish or carry out their parodies or distortions of these tunes without having payment or concern of authorized motion.
Some recording, film, and tv legal rights to tunes composed by me are basically licensed non-exclusively by me to recording, film, or Tv set organizations. All this kind of legal rights are now produced herewith and therefore do not require any authorization from me or from Maelstrom Tunes, which is simply me in another hat, nor from the recording, film, or Tv firms associated.
In short, I no extended keep any rights to any of my music.
So assist yourselves, and don't send out me any funds.
As I mentioned, substantially of this statement demonstrates what was on the site just before, but now it handles the songs as perfectly as the lyrics. He's also basically put up every thing you will need. You can obtain the new music as MP3s, you can stream albums, you can obtain lyrics as PDF information. It's… really in depth. And rather remarkable.
Of class, there's also this semi-ominous warning:
THIS Site WILL BE SHUT DOWN AT SOME Date IN THE NOT Way too DISTANT Foreseeable future, SO IF YOU WANT TO Download Something, Do not Wait around Also Extended.
I hope that somebody (hey, Net Archive?) is building confident that this web site, and all the audio is preserved lengthy after Lehrer eliminates it.
Both way, it is a further wonderful gift, and it's a unusual one, specified that in these days of ever increasing copyright conditions, most artists hardly ever are living to see any of their will work enter the public area. Lehrer must be celebrated for his audio and wit, of system, but also for building absolutely sure his is effective are really in the public domain whilst he's even now alive, which is an wonderful contribution to public lifestyle.
Of training course, as we've talked over for several years, there is no formal way underneath US copyright regulation to put performs in the community area. The best you can do is correctly make apparent that you are giving up any rights to enforce your copyrights, which is what Lehrer has finished here. It's a disgrace that US regulation does not permit for an official community area perseverance, but perhaps one particular day that will come about.

The Winter Solstice is approaching for the Southern Hemisphere. Think of the stories you read that entertained you and kept you enthralled on a long, cold winter's night. Write about these stories: what was it that made the stories memorable and gripping? How did the author achieve this? Think about the traditions of the Winter Solstice, the seasons and the cycle of life. Then begin writing your own story to entertain on a Winter's night. If you are in the Northern Hemisphere and about to celebrate the Summer Solstice, write about what that means to you instead.

Hopewell Theater: First Anniversary of Selectively Eclectic Entertainment and Gourmet Dine-In Meals: Here's What's Next
The landmark 180-seat Hopewell Theater re-opened in September, 2017, after an extensive renovation, and over the past year it has succeeded in becoming the area's most intimate dine-in arts venue, with selectively eclectic live music, films, talks, and gourmet pop-up supper clubs. Hopewell Theater recently celebrated its one-year anniversary with a concert featuring Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Paul Muldoon and Rogue Oliphant.
The theater's exciting lineup of fall musical performances includes Freedy Johnston 9/22; The Winterpills 10/6; Martin Hayes Quartet 10/12; Rio Mira 10/18; Campbell Brothers 10/27; Dar Williams 11/1; Johnny Irion 11/10; Heather Maloney 11/16; Stephane Wrembel 11/30; Band of Changes 12/8; and Jill Souble 12/22.
Over the past year, Hopewell Theater has made its mark as a deluxe showcase for the arts, presenting a roster of live music from nationally known folk, rock, and jazz groups as well as locally loved smaller acts. HT has also featured the best in indie cinema, some accompanied by live music, talks, or meet-the-filmmaker events. Starting with opening night in 2017, featuring a sold-out performance by Bovine Social Club, the theater has gradually added to its entertainment offerings with pop-up supper clubs catered by beloved restaurants like the Peasant Grill and Siam Restaurant.
"In just one year we have accomplished our mission of bringing a wide range of artists and audiences to our inviting sanctuary to enjoy the arts," says Sara Scully, executive director, Hopewell Theater. "The theater is a welcoming place to experience unique programming, and we have formed partnerships with the area makers to support local arts, commerce and community."
The theater looks forward in 2018-'19 to expanding its live theater with a roster of comedy shows from stand-up to storytelling nights. Additionally Hopewell Theater will be offering live gypsy jazz brunches with Max Hansen catering on Sundays, and family film matinees as well as Crybaby matinees for moms and babies/toddlers. The theater will also celebrate Halloween with a week of frightening films.
