One of the greatest American novels and a popular culture sensation, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz depicts the adventures of the young Dorothy Gale, who is swept away from her colorless farm home in Kansas by a cyclone, and winds up in the magical Land of Oz. Trapped in an unknown land, Dorothy must find a way back home and subsequently embarks on an adventure and meets a group of colorful characters along the way. Serving as an inspiration throughout generations, the children's novel has been represented through various cinema adaptations and musicals.
The novel commences with the introduction of Dorothy, a young orphan girl who is taken in and raised by her Uncle Henry and Aunt Em in their dreary farm home in Kansas. One day, however, a treacherous cyclone sweeps across the prairie and catches hold of the house while Dorothy and her beloved pet dog Toto are still inside. Afraid and bewildered, Dorothy and Toto are eventually set down in a mysterious land which they later identify as the Land of Oz. Greeted and commended by the small Munchkins, Dorothy is declared to be a good witch, because her house had accidentally landed on the evil ruler of the Munchkins – the Wicked Witch of the East and consequently resulted in her death. Subsequently, the Good Witch of the North also arrives to greet Dorothy and presents her with a pair of silver shoes believed to contain magical properties. In addition, she instructs Dorothy to follow the yellow brick road to Emerald City and ask the almighty Wizard of Oz to help her get back to Kansas. On her way across the land she is accompanied by the Scarecrow, the rusted Tin Woodman, and the Cowardly Lion.
Entertaining and intelligently written, Baum has effectively created a modern fairy tale forever embedded in the imagination of both young and old readers. Exploring the prominent and universal theme of "There's no place like home", The Wonderful Wizard of Oz does not seize to delight and captivate long after its finish.

Home News How to See the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree
How to See the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree
Weather: Clouds gradually clear off, but there'll be a stiff wind. High in the mid-40s.
Alternate-side parking: In effect until Tuesday (Immaculate Conception).
In an ordinary holiday season, the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree draws about 750,000 visitors a day, the city's tourism agency, NYC & Company, says.
But the pandemic means that Midtown Manhattan is devoid of its usual crowds.
This year's evergreen has already had a tough time. The 75-foot, 11-ton Norway spruce appeared unusually scraggly to many social media users when it was unveiled last month, making it seem like a perfect metaphor for 2020.
[About that maligned Christmas tree (and that owl) at Rockefeller Center.]
A managing director at Tishman Speyer, the real estate firm that owns Rockefeller Center, told one of my colleagues that such criticism was misplaced and that the tree was merely displaying the arboreal equivalent of hat hair. Workers had wrapped it tightly before driving it to Manhattan from upstate Oneonta.
The tree will certainly appear more festive when it is lit. Here's what you need to know about seeing the spruce, according to Rockefeller Center:
When is the tree lighting?
The ceremony starts at 8 o'clock tonight; the tree will be lit at 9:45 p.m. Spectators cannot attend the event, but it will be broadcast live on NBC.
How to visit in person
Through early January, the tree will be open to visitors daily between 6 a.m. and midnight. It is open for 24 hours on Christmas, and on New Year's Eve the visiting hours are from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m.
To gain access to the viewing areas, starting on Thursday, visitors can use a phone to scan QR codes posted near Rockefeller Center. They will get a text message with an estimated wait time and will be told when to return to view the tree.
Viewing areas will be on 49th and 50th Streets, and will be accessible from those streets and Fifth and Sixth Avenues. Center Plaza, where the tree is set up, is closed to the public. The Rockefeller Center website has a map.
What else has changed
Face masks and social distancing are mandatory, and visitors must stand on social-distancing markers in groups of four at most. There is a five-minute limit for viewing.
Where is the owl, and what will happen to the tree?
After the spruce arrived in Manhattan, workers discovered a saw-whet owl in its boughs. The bird, which became a social media sensation, was rehabilitated at a wildlife center in Saugerties, N.Y., and released back into the wild last week.
The tree's days in the wild are, of course, over. It will become lumber for Habitat of Humanity.

And finally: Co-living during a pandemic
Sydney Franklin writes:
The core benefits of co-living took a big hit when the coronavirus struck New York City.
Instagram-friendly common rooms and co-working spaces sat empty last spring as residents complied with strict lockdown orders. Postage-stamp bedrooms became constant quarters. Tenants who had become accustomed to regular cleaning services suddenly had to disinfect on their own.
When New Yorkers fled the city in the early months of the pandemic, co-living companies lost tenants and income. Their model, which includes perks like helping residents find roommates and providing fully furnished units, was no match for the virus. Co-living buildings have generally charged more than traditional rental buildings, in exchange for shared amenities and a dormlike atmosphere that provides instant community — an environment deeply challenged by the rules of coronavirus lockdown.
After the initial shock, most co-living companies coalesced around a few strategies to woo residents back. They offered rent concessions, promoted flexible lease lengths and provided a smooth and easy move-in process. And despite social distancing, companies and residents have found new, pandemic-appropriate ways to build connections within buildings.
Now co-living companies say demand is growing again.
In August, Jorge Hurtado-Burgos, 21, was looking for an easy transition into an apartment after a summer of couch surfing. He chose a four-bedroom shared unit in an East Village apartment.
"It was very straight to the point and easy," he said.
It's Wednesday — be flexible.
Metropolitan Diary: Something's different
Dear Diary:
I was working construction as a carpenter in Manhattan. Every morning before work I would stop at the same deli for coffee and a bagel. I liked the deli because you could make your own coffee there.
At one point, I stopped working for about three weeks. When I returned to the job, I resumed my daily routine of stopping at the deli.
My first day back, I ordered my bagel and then started to make my coffee. It felt to me like the cups were slightly smaller than they had been. When I went to pay, I said so to the woman at the counter.
"Maybe your hand got bigger," she said.

Alfred Gilbert's Aestheticism presents the first sustained re-evaluation of the life and work of one of the most acclaimed sculptors of the late-Victorian period. Drawing on important new archival sources, this ground-breaking study challenges the customary assumption that Aestheticism was primarily a literary, painterly or architectural phenomena. Jason Edwards reveals both the diverse ways in which Gilbert's sculptures operated within the context of Aestheticism and also how these works provided a unique and provocative commentary on the history of masculine friendship and eroticism in the period leading up to and beyond the Wilde trials in 1895. Detailed readings are offered of the relationship of Gilbert's work to essays by Pater and Swinburne, poems, plays, and novels by Wilde and W. S. Gilbert, and paintings by Burne-Jones, Leighton, Rossetti, Solomon, Whistler, and Watts. With over 90 illustrations, including key contemporary photographs showing Gilbert's works in their original contexts, this book makes a major contribution to the field of Victorian sculpture studies.

Bauer, M., and A.D. Del Genio, 2006: Composite analysis of winter cyclones in a GCM: Influence on climatological humidity. J. Climate , 19, 1652-1672, doi:10.1175/JCLI3690.1.
The role of midlatitude baroclinic cyclones in maintaining the extratropical winter distribution of water vapor in an operational global climate model is investigated. A cyclone identification and tracking algorithm is used to compare the frequency of occurrence, propagation characteristics, and composite structure of 10 winters of storms in the Goddard Institute for Space Studies general circulation model (GCM) and in two reanalysis products. Cyclones are the major dynamical source of water vapor over the extratropical oceans in the reanalyses. The GCM produces fewer, generally weaker, and slower-moving cyclones than the reanalyses and is especially deficient in storms associated with secondary cyclogenesis. Composite fields show that GCM cyclones are shallower and drier aloft than those in the reanalyses and that their vertical structure is less tilted in the frontal region because of the GCM's weaker ageostrophic circulation. This is consistent with the GCM's underprediction of midlatitude cirrus. The GCM deficiencies do not appear to be primarily due to parameterization errors; the model is too dry despite producing less storm precipitation than is present in the reanalyses and in an experimental satellite precipitation dataset, and the weakness and shallow structure of GCM cyclones is already present at storm onset. These shortcomings may be common to most climate GCMs that do not resolve the mesoscale structure of frontal zones, and this may account for some universal problems in climate GCM midlatitude cloud properties.


This module aims at introducing fundamental concepts of visual perception applied to information visualization. These concepts help the student ideate and evaluate visualization designs in terms of how well they leverage the capabilities of the human perceptual machinery.
designing for effective visualizations with color is the effect of size.
The size of an object on the screen affects the way the color is perceived.
Let me show you an example.
these categories that you see on the right.
it's very hard for you to distinguish between all the different colors.
but you definitely can't distinguish all these categories that you see on the right.
you can see that now, you can distinguish a lot more colors.
size interacts very heavily with color perception.
And this is something you have always to keep in mind.
taking into consideration how large the area of this object is.
for different sizes, it's easier or harder to perceive the difference.
the difference can be perceived very easily.
and the one at the bottom is very, very hard.
So, here is another example that clearly shows you how size affects color perception.
you should try to have colors that have high saturation.
you should try to have callers who have low saturation.
the objects can't be too small, okay?
So let me show you what happens when you have large and small areas.
that I'm going to introduce in a moment.
they tend to create clutter and too strong visualization.
We have what is called vibrant colors that stimulate our vision too harshly.
are not as aggressive as those ones that you see on the left.
large areas, not to use colors that are too saturated.
with colors that need to be perceived across very small objects.
This is what you see on the bottom left of the same image.
It's much better to have highly saturated colors when you have small objects.

You probably won't bother glancing at the woman going into the next fitting room at the department store or that girl shopping in the supermarket but they may indeed be heterosexual males "en femme" just blending in. And there are millions more - your son's school principal, your accountant, friendly attorney, mailman, commercial airline pilot, Marine Corps sergeant or 18-wheeler truck driver who are "underdressed" in feminine attire every day while at work but once away from public scrutiny - yes, often with wife and children present - take on the female persona in which they are most comfortable. This is the disarmingly honest engrossing life story of one.

Only three episodes--two from February 1979 (as part of previous marathon programming) and the 7/4/80 episode (also part of a previous marathon).
I forgot to record last night's NYSI episodes on BUZZR. What episodes aired? The schedule indicated that the first one was a "pilot," which I interpreted as a rerun of the test show that they aired back on the "Lost 'n Found" block 17 months ago.
Yep--the test show and the 4/1/74 ep.
Beginning March 6th, Jim Perry's Card Sharks will replace the Eubanks version in the Prime Time Party lineup. They will start with episode #62 (airdate 7/18/1978) Also Child's Play will replace Super Password in the morning as well, but no word on where those episodes will begin.
I just wish they'd get to the point in the run where the change rules came into effect. To me, it feels a teensy bit counterproductive to put almost $29,000 on offer and not give a chance to the contestant to at least try to improve their position more than at the very beginning.
I can understand why they didn't in the beginning: you have a certain amount of money you can give away, and who knows if the show survives thirteen weeks. When the show starts to roll along and get popular, then sure, change the rules we know and love where you can change each base card.
It looks like the Child's Play change doesn't happen until the following week, according to Buzzr's online schedule. They're starting with episode 128, but I don't know the airdate of that one.
Episode 128's air date is March 18, 1983. The Turnabout end game debuted on episode 154. I don't believe GSN ever rerun episodes 164-168(May 9-13, 1983) or did they in its early years, my hunch says that Gene Wood returned to the mic that week or it could be Bob Hilton continuing to fill-in during that week.
This is a really good point, and something I'd never thought of. You can playtest and shoot pilots all you want, but until you get real contestants with real money making wagers in that particular end game, you don't know how those payouts are going to average out in the long-term. Once ratings prove adequate and there's some unexpected surplus after that first order of shows, you can loosen the purse strings.
It took six weeks for someone to win more than ten grand in one fell swoop at the Money Cards, and there were a smattering of $5k wins. After eighteen weeks the more familiar rules were in place, so I think that my idea of "hey, we're going to be renewed/we're somewhat popular, so we can loosen the purse strings" was a bit on point.
By chance, how many busts and under $1k wins were in the first 6 weeks? It felt like a lot, would be nice to see what the data says.
I was under the impression from Chris Clemenson that Goodson shows went in with a guaranteed 26 weeks.
I'll see what I can find tonight, but in looking for it I found some fan-made webpage that put forth the idea that on the CBS version after giving away $90k in one week with the change rules where you could use your three cards as you saw fit, that the rules were changed to one card per line, but anywhere on that line.
I have an example from very early in the run where the contestant changes 2 cards on the same line - if I find it, I'll throw it up on the YouTubes and link it here.
So as opposed to one week giving away $90,000; the first six weeks of Card Sharks gave away $94,425; though there's those episodes to be filled in. It's fun to say "You can win $28,800!" but I think they were planning on a lot of people winning either less than a thousand dollars or a few thousand dollars, and those big wins would come along like on $20,000 Pyramid.

Searches Conducted in Saransk. Father of Young Children Is Detained.
Early in the morning on February 6, 2019, in the capital of Mordovia at least 20 searches were conducted in the homes of citizens who are considered to be Jehovah's Witnesses. Vladimir Atryakhin, a 31-year-old husband and father of two young children, was detained. A preventive measure restricting his freedom of movement is expected to be imposed upon him on February 8.
Earlier, well-known Russian public figures, the Human Rights Council under the President of the Russian Federation, as well as the President of Russia himself, spoke about the increasing violations of the rights of Jehovah's Witnesses.

Cunard is the most historic cruise line in the world.
Cunard Line's heritage dates back to 1839 when Sir Samuel Cunard won the first British Government contract to supply a regular mail service across the North Atlantic Ocean. Since that date, Cunard has had hundreds of Ocean Liners.
Cunard's heritage is built on safety, speed and luxury. During the early days of the 20th Century their ocean-greyhounds, Lusitania and Mauretania, were the fastest ocean liners in the world. Their modern turbine engines allowed them to achieve over 24 knots – an impressive feat of engineering.
Cunard's Golden Age occurred after World War II, when their Ocean Liners, Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth were the epitome of luxury ocean travel. With speeds of over 30 knots, these two sisters were the largest Ocean Liners in the world. In fact, Queen Elizabeth, at 83,673 tons, held this record until eclipsed in 1996 by the Carnival Destiny.
In the late 1950s, Cunard faced its most fierce competitor – the Jet aircraft. With the introduction of the Boeing 707 on the transatlantic route, Cunard's fleet quickly became obsolete. This saw the great decline of Ocean Liners, with names such as Caronia, Media, Britannic as well as the famous Queens disappearing from the North Atlantic.
But in the midst of this transport revolution, Cunard gambled their future on a new ship. This liner, built at the same yard as her predecessors (John Brown & Co., Clydebank), was named Queen Elizabeth 2. She maintained Cunard's presence on the transatlantic service before retiring in 2008, passing the baton to Queen Mary 2.

North Texas Bank Teller Refuses Cash Deposit Over COVID-19 Concerns
By J.D. Miles January 6, 2022 at 10:35 pm
Filed Under:Banks, cash, Covid-19, DFW News, Pandemic
CORINTH, Texas (CBSDFW.COM) – Nearly two years into the pandemic there is still fear and a lot of confusion about how you can catch COVID-19.
That was highlighted by an incident at a bank in Corinth on Thursday, Jan. 6 when a customer says a teller refused to accept his cash deposit.
Rick Reid pulled into the drive-through of a Wells Fargo branch in Corinth to pay his mortgage.
He had $1,000 in cash he planned to deposit.
He says he told the teller through the intercom that his wife was at home sick with COVID-19 and he needed to put money in her account.
"She realized it was cash, she sent it back, said she was pregnant and was unwilling to do the transaction and told me to leave," says Reid. "I said I have an account here I have a mortgage I need to pay."
Reid says he tested negative but chose to use the drive through out of an abundance of caution.
"Where is the sign that says 'don't bring us cash if you've tested positive for COVID'? Where is the protocol and information that you people should share with us? So yeah I am upset," he said.
Reid was able to eventually make the deposit through another teller after he was initially denied.
Wells Fargo provided the following statement to CBS 11 on the matter:
We apologize for the inconvenience our customers experienced. We are reviewing our COVID protocols with our bankers at this location to ensure they are followed correctly. Throughout the COVID pandemic, the health and safety of our customers and employees have been critically important and that continues. Our bankers have been and will be here to serve the needs of our customers and communities during these challenging times.
The incident is an example of the uncertainty many people still feel nearly two years into the pandemic.
Doctors we spoke say that while COVID-19 can survive on some surfaces for a short time, you are more likely to get the virus from fresh respiratory droplets directly from another person.
"If you touch a big glob of mucous and then you touch your mouth or your eye or something like that, that would possible to spread it that way, but in the absence of something like that, touching materials that other people have touched is really not risky," says Dr. Beth Kassanof-Piper, Dallas County Medical Society Immediate Past President.

If you're fishing for smelt this year, make sure you know about a legislative change, signed at the end of 2018, that alters how anglers can target smelt in Michigan.
The previous state statute let people use any number of hooks attached to a single line, while fishing for smelt, alewife or other bait fish in the Great Lakes or recognized smelt waters. Now, anglers fishing for those species can use no more than three lines per person, with no more than six hooks or lures on all lines. All hooks attached to artificial bait or "night crawler harness" are counted as one hook (note: for crappie/perch rigs and umbrella rigs, each hook is counted as part of the total six allowed). This means anglers may use up to six hooks on one line or spread the six hooks out over up to three lines.
For more information on fishing regulations, see the current Michigan Fishing Guide, available at fishing license vendors and online at michigan.gov/fishingguide.

Book-to-Movie Adaptations Coming in 2018
The theaters are going to be chock full of movies based on books this year. If you want to go on and on about how much better the book was, you have a lot of reading to do.
12 Strong by Doug Stanton (movie coming January 19, 2018)
Previously published as Horse Soldiers, 12 Strong is the dramatic account of a small band of Special Forces soldiers who secretly entered Afghanistan following 9/11 and rode to war on horses against the Taliban. Outnumbered forty to one, they pursued the enemy army across the mountainous Afghanistan terrain and, after a series of intense battles, captured the city of Mazar-i-Sharif. The bone-weary American soldiers were welcomed as liberators as they rode into the city. Then the action took a wholly unexpected turn.
During a surrender of six hundred Taliban troops, the Horse Soldiers were ambushed by the would-be POWs. Dangerously overpowered, they fought for their lives in the city's immense fortress, Qala-i-Janghi, or the House of War. At risk were the military gains of the entire campaign: if the soldiers perished or were captured, the entire effort to outmaneuver the Taliban was likely doomed.

Annihilation by Jeff VanderMeer (movie coming February 23, 2018)
Area X has been cut off from the rest of the continent for decades. Nature has reclaimed the last vestiges of human civilization. The first expedition returned with reports of a pristine, Edenic landscape; the second expedition ended in mass suicide, the third expedition in a hail of gunfire as its members turned on one another. The members of the eleventh expedition returned as shadows of their former selves, and within weeks, all had died of cancer. In Annihilation, the first volume of Jeff VanderMeer's Southern Reach trilogy, we join the twelfth expedition.
The group is made up of four women: an anthropologist; a surveyor; a psychologist, the de facto leader; and our narrator, a biologist. Their mission is to map the terrain, record all observations of their surroundings and of one anotioner, and, above all, avoid being contaminated by Area X itself.
They arrive expecting the unexpected, and Area X delivers—they discover a massive topographic anomaly and life forms that surpass understanding—but it's the surprises that came across the border with them and the secrets the expedition members are keeping from one another that change everything.

Ready Player One by Ernest Cline (movie coming March 30, 2018)
It's the year 2044, and the real world is an ugly place. Like most of humanity, Wade Watts escapes his grim surroundings by spending his waking hours jacked into the OASIS, a sprawling virtual utopia that lets you be anything you want to be, a place where you can live and play and fall in love on any of ten thousand planets.
And like most of humanity, Wade dreams of being the one to discover the ultimate lottery ticket that lies concealed within this virtual world. For somewhere inside this giant networked playground, OASIS creator James Halliday has hidden a series of fiendish puzzles that will yield massive fortune—and remarkable power—to whoever can unlock them.
For years, millions have struggled fruitlessly to attain this prize, knowing only that Halliday's riddles are based in the pop culture he loved—that of the late twentieth century. And for years, millions have found in this quest another means of escape, retreating into happy, obsessive study of Halliday's icons. Like many of his contemporaries, Wade is as comfortable debating the finer points of John Hughes's oeuvre, playing Pac-Man, or reciting Devo lyrics as he is scrounging power to run his OASIS rig. And then Wade stumbles upon the first puzzle.
Where'd You Go Bernadette by Maria Semple (movie coming October 19, 2018)
Bernadette Fox is notorious. To her Microsoft-guru husband, she's a fearlessly opinionated partner; to fellow private-school mothers in Seattle, she's a disgrace; to design mavens, she's a revolutionary architect, and to 15-year-old Bee, she is a best friend and, simply, Mom.
Then Bernadette disappears. It began when Bee aced her report card and claimed her promised reward: a family trip to Antarctica. But Bernadette's intensifying allergy to Seattle—and people in general—has made her so agoraphobic that a virtual assistant in India now runs her most basic errands. A trip to the end of the earth is problematic.
To find her mother, Bee compiles email messages, official documents, secret correspondence—creating a compulsively readable and touching novel about misplaced genius and a mother and daughter's role in an absurd world.
Crazy Rich Asians by Kevin Kwan (movie coming August 17, 2018)
When Rachel Chu agrees to spend the summer in Singapore with her boyfriend, Nicholas Young, she envisions a humble family home, long drives to explore the island, and quality time with the man she might one day marry. What she doesn't know is that Nick's family home happens to look like a palace, that she'll ride in more private planes than cars, and that with one of Asia's most eligible bachelors on her arm, Rachel might as well have a target on her back. Initiated into a world of dynastic splendor beyond imagination, Rachel meets Astrid, the It Girl of Singapore society; Eddie, whose family practically lives in the pages of the Hong Kong socialite magazines; and Eleanor, Nick's formidable mother, a woman who has very strong feelings about who her son should–and should not–marry. Uproarious, addictive, and filled with jaw-dropping opulence, Crazy Rich Asians is an insider's look at the Asian JetSet; a perfect depiction of the clash between old money and new money; between Overseas Chinese and Mainland Chinese; and a fabulous novel about what it means to be young, in love, and gloriously, crazily rich.
The Darkest Minds by Alexandra Bracken (movie coming September 14, 2018)
When Ruby woke up on her tenth birthday, something about her had changed. Something alarming enough to make her parents lock her in the garage and call the police. Something that gets her sent to Thurmond, a brutal government "rehabilitation camp." She might have survived the mysterious disease that's killed most of America's children, but she and the others have emerged with something far worse: frightening abilities they cannot control. Now sixteen, Ruby is one of the dangerous ones. When the truth comes out, Ruby barely escapes Thurmond with her life. Now she's on the run, desperate to find the one safe haven left for kids like her—East River. She joins a group of kids who escaped their own camp. Liam, their brave leader, is falling hard for Ruby. But no matter how much she aches for him, Ruby can't risk getting close. Not after what happened to her parents. When they arrive at East River, nothing is as it seems, least of all its mysterious leader. But there are other forces at work, people who will stop at nothing to use Ruby in their fight against the government. Ruby will be faced with a terrible choice, one that may mean giving up her only chance at a life worth living.
Boy Erased by Garrard Conley (movie coming September 28, 2018)
The son of a Baptist pastor and deeply embedded in church life in small town Arkansas, as a young man Garrard Conley was terrified and conflicted about his sexuality.
When Garrard was a nineteen-year-old college student, he was outed to his parents, and was forced to make a life-changing decision: either agree to attend a church-supported conversion therapy program that promised to "cure" him of homosexuality; or risk losing family, friends, and the God he had prayed to every day of his life. Through an institutionalized Twelve-Step Program heavy on Bible study, he was supposed to emerge heterosexual, ex-gay, cleansed of impure urges and stronger in his faith in God for his brush with sin. Instead, even when faced with a harrowing and brutal journey, Garrard found the strength and understanding to break out in search of his true self and forgiveness.
By confronting his buried past and the burden of a life lived in shadow, Garrard traces the complex relationships among family, faith, and community. At times heart-breaking, at times triumphant, this memoir is a testament to love that survives despite all odds.
First Man by James Hansen (movie coming October 12, 2018)
On July 20, 1969, the world stood still to watch 38-year-old American astronaut Neil A. Armstrong become the first person ever to step on the surface of another heavenly body. Perhaps no words in human history became better known than those few he uttered at that historic moment. Upon his return to earth, Armstrong was honored and celebrated for his monumental achievement. He was also — as James R. Hansen reveals in this fascinating and important biography — misunderstood. Armstrong's accomplishments as engineer, test pilot, and astronaut have long been a matter of record, but Hansen's unprecedented access to private documents and unpublished sources yield this first in-depth analysis of an elusive American celebrity still renowned the world over. In a penetrating exploration of American hero worship, Hansen addresses the complex legacy of the First Man, as an astronaut and as an individual. In First Man, the personal, technological, epic, and iconic blend to form this portrait of a great but reluctant hero who will forever be known as history's most famous space traveler.
Queen of Scots by John Guy (movie coming November 2, 2018)
John Guy creates an intimate and absorbing portrait of one of history's greatest women, depicting her world and her place in the sweep of history with stunning immediacy. Bringing together all surviving documents and uncovering a trove of new sources for the first time, Guy dispels the popular image of Mary Queen of Scots as a romantic leading lady – achieving her ends through feminine wiles-and establishes her as the intellectual and political equal of Elizabeth I. Through Guy's pioneering research and superbly readable prose, we come to see Mary as a skillful diplomat, maneuvering ingeniously among a dizzying array of factions that sought to control or dethrone her. Queen of Scots is an enthralling, myth-shattering look at a complex woman and ruler and her time.

We always give Cam a book on her birthday. This year we gave her a 30th anniversary edition of Possum Magic, along with tickets to see Possum Magic- the Musical. The day finally arrived, and today we took her to The National Theatre in St. Kilda. We didn't take baby Ike along, but as soon as we walked into the theatre I felt a pang of guilt because the theatre was filled with children of all ages- even babes in arms.
Possum Magic is a brilliant show. I knew that instantly; within minutes Roo had the children giggling and calling out 'G'day' in their loudest voices. There were also other opportunities throughout the show for the kids to sing and dance along.
Importantly, the musical holds true to the original story written by Mem Fox, which means children can follow along with understanding. The show is presented by a versatile cast of six. Not only are they talented puppeteers, but they also personify the animals so skilfully.
The show was an absolute delight to watch. The characters and elaborate costumes and props all look like they've jumped straight out of the pages of the book. I loved Grandma Poss' slippers and rusty, yellow bicycle; Cam was smitten by Hush, particularly the invisible version; and Hubby was impressed by Roo, a full-body puppet. Oh, and the stunning Vegemite dress deserves a mention too.
The show received accolades from Cam. She talked about Possum Magic over lunch. She talked about Possum Magic during the car trip home. She spent time poring over the book when she got home, pointing out what was and wasn't in the musical. She talked about Possum Magic over dinner. We read Possum Magic at bedtime. And with the help of Cam, we've decided that Possum Magic might be a good theme for Ike's first birthday party. I think it will be really lovely for her to play a role in the planning of her little brother's party.
There are still a number of weeks left of the Australian Farewell Tour, so if the show is coming to a venue near you then I highly recommend you take the kids along. Take a look at the tour dates here.
Unfortunately, we weren't allowed to take photos to share with you, but there is a small selection of photos on the Possum Magic Musical website.

Q: Most efficient way to deal with ORA-01795:maximum number of expressions in a list is 1000 in hibernate I have to perform a select on which I have more than 1000 elements via hibernate, and then I received the error "ORA-01795:maximum number of expressions in a list is 1000" when I'm using the Oracle brand.
SELECT * FROM matable WHERE column IN (?,?,...) (>1000 items)

I found many solutions :
Split the list with OR

where A in (a,b,c,d,e,f)

becomes
where (A in (a,b,c) OR a in (d,e,f)) ...

Create a table with UNION ALL

SELECT * FROM maintable
JOIN (
    SELECT v1 a FROM DUAL UNION ALL
    SELECT v2 a FROM DUAL UNION ALL
    SELECT v3 a FROM DUAL UNION ALL
    ...
    SELECT v2000 a FROM DUAL) tmp

    on tmp.a = maintable.id

Using tuples to get rid of the limit

where (column,0) in ((1,0),(2,0),(3,0),(4,0), ... ,(1500,0))

Using a temporary table..

where A in SELECT item FROM my_temporary_table

References here and there and also there.
My question is the following : what is the best practice to deal with this issue? By best practice I mean the most performant, but not only for Oracle;  if I use hibernate, I don't want to create and manage a different code for each brand of database (I'm concerned by Oracle, MS SQL and PostGre only).
My first reaction would have been to use a temporary table, but I don't know what has the most impact.

A: Use a temporary table and make the values primary keys on the table.  This should allow very efficient optimizations for comparison.  The most like is simply an index lookup, although if the table is very small, Oracle might choose some other method such as a table scan.
This method should be faster than 1,000 or conditions, in almost any database.  Sometimes in is optimized in a similar way (using a binary tree to store the values).  In such databases, the performance would be similar.

A: I fixed this issue with some changes in hibernate-core jar.
I made a helper class to split an expression in more joins like: ... t.column IN (: list_1) OR t.column IN (: list_2) ... , Then I changed AbstractQueryImpl.expandParameterList method  from hibernate to call my method if the collection exceeds the limit.
My hibernate-core version is 3.6.10.Final, but it work fine and for 4.x versions - I tested it.
My code is tested for next cases:
  where t.id in (:idList)
  where (t.id in (:idList))
  where ((t.id) in (:idList))
  where 1=1 and t.id in (:idList)
  where 1=1 and (t.id in (:idList))
  where 1=1 and(t.id) in (:idList)
  where 1=1 and((t.id) in (:idList))
  where 1=1 and(t.id in (:idList))

  where t.id not in (:idList)
  where (t.id not in (:idList))
  where ((t.id) not in (:idList))

AbstractQueryImpl.expandParameterList :
private String expandParameterList(String query, String name, TypedValue typedList, Map namedParamsCopy) {
    Collection vals = (Collection) typedList.getValue();
    Type type = typedList.getType();

    boolean isJpaPositionalParam = parameterMetadata.getNamedParameterDescriptor( name ).isJpaStyle();
    String paramPrefix = isJpaPositionalParam ? "?" : ParserHelper.HQL_VARIABLE_PREFIX;
    String placeholder =
            new StringBuffer( paramPrefix.length() + name.length() )

    if ( query == null ) {

    }
    int loc = query.indexOf( placeholder );

    if ( loc < 0 ) {
        return query;
    }

    String beforePlaceholder = query.substring( 0, loc );
