Amy Plum est une auteure américaine de culture française, son principal ouvrage est une trilogie fantastique, Die for me.

Biographie

Après avoir grandi à Birmingham, dans l'Alabama, dans une famille plutôt stricte, Amy Plum a étudié à Chicago dans un environnement finalement plutôt plus strict (puisque son université allait jusqu'à virer des étudiants parce qu'ils dansaient ou la convoquer dans le bureau du doyen en raison de sa garde-robe un peu trop sombre.) Après toutes ces (horribles) restrictions, elle a décidé de fuir très, très, très loin - précisément à Paris, en France, où elle a pu danser autant qu'elle le voulait et porter tout le noir qu'elle voulait.

Ayant vécu en France pendant cinq ans, elle s'aventure à Londres, où elle décroche un diplôme en Histoire de l'art médiéval et se spécialise dans les peintures chinoises antiques (circa ), principalement attirée par les faibles perspectives d'emploi.

À la surprise générale, elle réussit par la suite à trouver un emploi dans le monde des antiquités, à New York. Mais après presque une décennie d'un travail stimulant mais stressant dans la ville qui ne dort jamais, elle échange sa métropole américaine pour un village français de 1300 habitants.

Aujourd'hui elle habite à Paris, où elle se consacre à plein temps à l'écriture, ses deux enfants, et son Labrador noir, Oberon.

Elle confesse volontiers admirer Edward Gorey et Maira Kalman (autour desquels elle entretient une collection), mais aussi David Sedaris, Amadeo Modigliani et Ira Glass.

Œuvres
Les trois livres et deux nouvelles de sa trilogie ont été traduits et édités en français :

 Plus encore que la vie (Die for me) - Milan, 2012
Quand les parents de Kate Mercier meurent dans un tragique accident de voiture, elle quitte sa vie new-yorkaise pour s'installer avec sa sœur chez ses grands-parents parisiens. Pour elle, la seule façon de survivre à la douleur, c'est de se réfugier dans un monde de littérature et d'art. Jusqu'à ce qu'elle rencontre Vincent.
Mystérieux, charmant, beau comme un dieu, Vincent passe outre toutes ses défenses en un seul sourire mais alors qu'elle commence à tomber amoureuse de lui, Kate découvre qu'il est un revenant - un mort-vivant contraint de se sacrifier encore et encore pour sauver la vie des autres. Vincent et ses semblables ont combattu pendant des siècles contre un groupe de revenants malfaisants, qui survivent par le meurtre et la trahison.
Kate réalise rapidement que si elle suit son cœur, elle ne sera plus jamais en sécurité.
 Que la mort nous sépare (Until I die) - Milan, 2013
Kate a choisi. Elle a choisi Vincent. Une humaine et un revenant. Une mortelle et un immortel.
Par amour pour Kate, Vincent a promis d'éviter la mort, de ne plus donner sa vie pour sauver celle des autres. Mais lutter contre sa nature n'est pas sans risques ni souffrances, même quand on est immortel... Kate veut aider Vincent, faire tout ce qui est possible pour trouver une issue nouvelle et se battre contre un destin qui les sépare sans cesse... Sans savoir ce qu'elle va réellement provoquer.
 Qu'importe l'éternité (If I Should Die) - Milan, 2013

Kate est désespérée. Vincent, celui qu'elle aime par-dessus tout, a disparu. Seul son esprit parvient encore à communiquer avec la jeune fille. De plus en plus doucement. De moins en moins souvent. Kate décide de forcer le destin, de tout faire pour sauver l'amour de sa vie. Même si elle doit affronter le clan des numa. Même si elle doit y laisser sa vie. Plutôt que la mort, que la vie sans Vincent.

Plus Encore Que La Mort (Die For Her) - CreateSpace, 2016

Jules Marchenoir est un revenant : un être surnaturel dont le destin le pousse à se sacrifier pour sauver des vies humaines. Après un siècle passé à flâner dans les rues de la capitale il fait la connaissance de Kate Mercier. Jules pense avoir trouvé l'âme sœur. Mais Kate tombe amoureuse de son meilleur ami, Vincent, et place Jules face à un cruel dilemme : choisir entre l'amitié et l'amour.

On Ne Meurt Que Deux Fois (Die Once More) - CreateSpace, 2016

Débutant là où la série « Die For Me » s'achevait, cette nouvelle relate le parcours de l'irrésistible Jules, qui quitte Paris pour prendre un nouveau départ à New York. Loin des siens et de son pays, Jules est désormais seul dans un environnement hostile et affronte des dangers inconnus, jusqu'à sa rencontre avec la jeune Ava. Si les bardias ont gagné la bataille pour sauver la France des numas, la guerre fait rage outre-Atlantique entre les deux clans et Ava aura besoin de Jules pour découvrir comment vaincre cette menace. Jules a traversé l'océan pour échapper à ses démons, mais se retrouve confronté au même risque : mettre en péril son immortalité aussi bien que son cœur.

After allowing Pyari Mohan Mohapatra to hold rallies in Bhubaneswar, Bhawanipatna, Baripada, Jeypore and Sambalpur, the Odisha Government finally cracked the whip and denied permission for a rally in Berhampur. The OJM has threatened to move the High Court against the government's decision.
It was speculated that since the Berhampur rally was last in the series of Pyari's Maha Samavesa rallies, he would make some important announcements and even may trigger a split in the BJD. However, it seems Naveen Patnaik is not in a mood to give even an inch to Pyari and will still rule the roost in Odisha politics for a while.


Visual communications is a growing industry. Photos and videos have become more important than ever in our media consumption which makes content creators in high demand. According to the 2016 Adobe State of Create, creators even earn 13% more money than non-creators. Being able to take a good image and to have an eye for design are important attributes of being a creator in 2018. As a result, here are ten jobs which require photography experience.
Most people are familiar with traditional journalism which generally requires some picture taking. But whereas journalists' main focus is the words, photojournalists tell stories by crafting provocative images that guide viewers through a journey. Photojournalists are generally freelancers that have their images and stories picked up by various news organizations but some bigger media companies hire their own photojournalists and photographers to cover stories. Photojournalists typically specialize in covering stories from war torn regions and other places where there is suffering but it can be hard to capture in anything other than a photograph.
Some photographers want to inspire the younger generation with their passion for photography by getting into education. The easiest way to do this is to become a high school teacher and focus on visual or media arts or communication technology. Universities and colleges are also always looking to hire working photographers to teach courses on photography while also providing their perspective on the industry. If you don't want to get a formal teaching degree, you can work at a private photography school such as GTA Photography Classes and teach students that way.
Photo restorers and retouchers work for two different purposes but they do the same thing: they edit photos to meet a specific outcome of how they are supposed to look. Photo retouchers primarily work on editing fashion and product photos for advertising and display. They are the people that remove blemishes from models' faces or morph two objects together. Photo restorers on the hand work mostly with old or archived photos that have been damaged to recreate and restore them.
Vloggers and bloggers are often entrepreneurs who have a wide skill set and are quite media savvy. Photography is not always a requirement for bloggers but in order to market yourself effectively and to create creative and engaging content, photography is always an asset. Vloggers definitely need to have camera knowledge in order to film content.
Most photographers are freelancers who have their own photography business. Freelancers can work on anything they desire and they get to choose the projects they take whether it be events, weddings, or even having photos bought by news organizations. Being a freelancer can be a good way to make a living if you market yourself effectively and you are comfortable running your own business. It also affords many unique opportunities and you never know what new project you could stumble upon next.
To be a forensic photographer, you must have a degree in forensics but they always looking for people with technical photography skills. Forensic photographers are responsible for capturing crime scenes and evidence for police records and aid in investigations. This is an important job and also not for the faint of heart.
One job that is often overlooked is studio photographer. Studio and portrait photography can constitute anything from having your own freelance business to working in the photography studio at Walmart to taking school pictures. For someone who loves portrait photography, this could be a great way to take portraits professionally and build a portfolio.
Most sporting events require their own photographer but several media organizations hire photographers to cover sporting events. For those that love sports and a fast paced environment, sports photography may be for you. Large sporting events such as the Olympics and the Pan-Am Games are great opportunities to break into the sports photography world as reporters and media companies are always looking for stellar shots to share.
This is a position for someone with a good eye for style and image quality. Art Directors work with magazines and other publications to select the visuals, artwork, and layouts that appear in that publication. The position is less hands on than being the actual photographer but requires an eye for detail and an understanding of their client's vision.
Every time you see an advertisement with a photo, someone has taken that photo. Product photography covers a large area, with everything from cars to food. There are studios that specialize in product photography but you can also work as a freelancer and be hired directly by the company.

Q: Is it possible to have messages sent to Exchange go directly to folders? Some email servers support a special syntax such as name%folder@example.com that will deliver the message into the specified folder for that user. In the past there was mention of this type of thing on gmail using the + to apply labels.  This is particularly useful for IMAP.  Does anyone know if this sort of thing can be done with Exchange?

A: you could add that secondary email address with the folder name into the account and then user mail rules on the mailbox to do it.  I am not aware of anything built in that can do that without adding something to the mail server to move mail around.  I have a few scripts that move mail around from the inbox to the deleted items, but it is powershell that runs as a script for the purposes of importing data that is emailed to us.

A: Even Gmail's user+tag@gmail.com syntax didn't automatically create folders or labels for received items. With the + tagging you could more easily create filters because of the recipient address, but it wasn't automatic.
No matter what, something has to be done on the client side (or with server-side rules perhaps) to gain this functionality.  You could consider a second account, a rule, or some form of add-on.

AAA: Michigan Gas Prices Rise 3 Cents
The Michigan state average is still down 56 cents compared to last year
DEARBORN, Mich., (August 24, 2020) - Gas prices in Michigan are up 3 cents compared to last week. Michigan drivers are now paying an average price of $2.18 per gallon for regular unleaded. This price is just 1 cent more than this time last month but still 56 cents less than this time last year.
According to the new weekly report from the Energy Information Administration (EIA), gas demand decreased slightly from 8.9 million b/d to 8.6 million b/d. Last week's estimated rate is 1 million b/d lower than last year's rate in mid-August. Lower demand has helped to keep pump prices stable, while total domestic gasoline stocks fell by 3.3 million bbl to 243.8 million bbl.
"If demand remains low amid tighter stock levels, motorists will likely see moderate fluctuations in pump prices," said Adrienne Woodland, spokesperson, AAA - The Auto Club Group.
Compared to last week, Metro Detroit's average daily gas price decreased slightly. Metro Detroit's current average is $2.21 per gallon, 1 cent less than last week's and 56 cents less than this time last year.
Most expensive gas price averages: Marquette ($2.29), Metro Detroit ($2.21), Flint ($2.17)

Presidential Reunion is an American comedy Web short directed by Ron Howard and starring Saturday Night Live cast members who parodied Presidents Ford to Obama. The skit was released onto the Funny or Die website on March 3, 2010 and received mixed to negative reviews.

Plot
The skit revolves around Barack Obama (Armisen) preparing for bed, but is too concerned about a problem with the banks and credit card companies in America. Michelle (Rudolph) convinces him to retire for the evening, but as soon as he does, former Presidents Bill Clinton (Hammond) and George W. Bush (Ferrell) enter the room. Clinton and Bush come to offer Obama advice as to how to handle the situation, reminiscing on their past duties. George H. W. Bush (Carvey) then exits the bathroom and offers his advice to the Obamas: to forget about approval rates. Jimmy Carter (Aykroyd) then enters the room (with a toolbox and begins fixing a random object on the wall) and is ridiculed by the other former presidents. Carter tells Obama to establish a consumer finance agency, stating people are becoming frustrated with being conned by banks and credit card companies. Ronald Reagan (Carrey) then appears before the group, surprising Carter (since Reagan is dead).

Reagan tells Obama to grow some balls in order to take on the banks and credit companies. Gerald Ford (Chase) too enters the room (tripping over a table, spoofing himself slipping on a set of stairs exiting Air Force One) and Chase breaking character, assuming it is another episode of SNL, only to be informed he's on Funny or Die. Ford suggests the only way to stop the banks is to pardon Richard Nixon (which he did). Carter interprets what Ford really means, but Ford is shocked to see Carter, thinking he was dead, only to be informed he was dead. The group ask Obama if their suggestions helped, but Obama dismisses them, saying they were the reason the mess was created. Reagan then quotes a false George Washington statement, saying Obama's it and the group begin taunting Obama until he wakes up and realizes that he does need to be the one to establish a CFA, rushing off to gather his cabinet.

Cast
 Fred Armisen as Barack Obama
 Darrell Hammond as Bill Clinton
 Will Ferrell as George W. Bush
 Dana Carvey as George H. W. Bush
 Dan Aykroyd as Jimmy Carter
 Jim Carrey as Ronald Reagan (the only cast member on this video who did not portray the same role on Saturday Night Live)

Attorney: Permitting PolyMet would violate federal law
Maccabee says failure to limit environmental impacts disqualifies project as currently designed
Marshall Helmberger
REGIONAL—Federal regulators may have gotten their first look at what a legal challenge to PolyMet Mining's proposed copper-nickel mine might look like.
In a detailed submission to the U.S. …
Paula Maccabee
Posted Wednesday, December 16, 2015 4:18 pm
In a detailed submission to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Environmental Protection Agency, attorney Paula Maccabee argues that the project, as proposed, is not permissible under federal law.
While the public has been focused in recent weeks on the adequacy of the Final Environmental Impact Statement, Maccabee, who serves as legal counsel for St. Paul-based Water Legacy, said PolyMet's failure to modify its project to limit its environmental impacts generally disqualifies its proposal from federal permitting, regardless of whatever decision the state's Department of Natural Resources ultimately makes on the FEIS.
"We have shown that the PolyMet project doesn't comply with Clean Water Act Section 404 regulations," said Maccabee in a press statement issued Monday. "It would violate the law protecting wetlands, downstream fish and downstream human health to give this sulfide mine project a permit."
Maccabee's submission, which includes an 80-page brief and hundreds of pages of supporting documents, outlines what Maccabee sees as an overly cozy relationship between PolyMet and state and federal regulators, who failed to hold the company to the standards required by federal law. In effect, she said, the DNR and its co-lead federal agencies acted more like project partners than neutral regulators, and allowed too many of PolyMet's assumptions to go unchallenged in any meaningful way.
According to Maccabee, regulators failed to require that the company use the least environmentally damaging practicable alternatives as part of its mine plan, even though that's required in federal law. She said the possibility of an underground mine, or the use of environmentally-safer tailings disposal methods, were never seriously analyzed. In addition, Maccabee said, water quality impacts and inadequate mitigation for hundreds of acres of wetland destruction violate federal law.
Maccabee's submission isn't a lawsuit. Instead, it's directed at federal regulators as they begin the administrative process of determining whether to issue the permits that PolyMet will need before it could begin construction on the proposed NorthMet mine. But Maccabee's submission demonstrates some of the legal arguments that could well be made in court in the event that the Army Corps of Engineers ultimately issues the wetlands permits that PolyMet will need. Opponents of the mine wouldn't have cause to sue until those permits are approved.
Opposition likely on federal level
Tribal and environmental opposition to PolyMet is likely to focus at the federal level, where environmental groups have a better track record in challenging agency decision-making. Federal courts are typically viewed by environmental advocates as less subject to the kind of state and local political pressure that can make state court challenges difficult.
While the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources was the primary agency leading development of the FEIS, the involvement of the U.S. Forest Service and the Army Corps of Engineers as co-leads on the review, has made a federal challenge of the project increasingly likely.
While Maccabee, in a separate filing, is challenges the adequacy of the FEIS, her broader case goes beyond that relatively narrow question, by challenging the project on more fundamental grounds. "This is where the rubber hits the road," she said. "There are substantive problems with this project that I think make it impermissible."
While much of the debate over the FEIS has centered on relatively technical concerns, Maccabee said topics like destruction of wetlands, mercury contamination, proper tailings disposal are not "abstract issues."
Maccabee said she is hopeful that federal regulators will recognize the problems with the project, as currently proposed, and will seek changes before approving any permits, thus avoiding litigation. "It's the regulators' job to follow the law, not wait until someone sues them," she said.
Maccabee's latest submission comes four months after she filed a federal petition asking the EPA to assume authority for regulating Minnesota's metallic mining industry. EPA officials are currently considering Maccabee's petition.
The Timberjay sought comment from PolyMet Mining officials for this story, but company officials did not respond prior to deadline.

Visitor attractions in and around the city are numerous.

Forests for the World has over 15 kilometers (9 miles) of trails that take you through a variety of natural habitats and was recently rated the 6th best picnic spot by Westworld Magazine. The Cranbrook Hill Greenway, a series of trails which stretches 18 kilometers from the campus of the University of Northern British Columbia to the Otway Nordic Centre, is a delightful place for a short ski or long hike. Goodsir Nature Park is an all-Canadian botanical park with picnic grounds and camping, and the Ancient Forest is a distinct inland rainforest with an accessible boardwalk.

CENTER TWP. � Most basketball players use halftime to regroup and re-hydrate.
Evan Bonnaure used his to find his shooting touch.
The South Fayette senior drained 17 3-pointers in a minute in a halftime shooting contest at the C.J. Betters Classic, then torched Blackhawk for six second-half 3-pointers as South Fayette won 59-46.
Blackhawk tried to keep pace with South Fayette�s shooting in the first half. But the Cougars had no answer for Bonnaure, who had five 3-pointers in the third quarter alone. He finished with seven 3-pointers and 25 points.
Blackhawk held a 28-27 lead at the half, matching South Fayette shot for shot after a sluggish start for both teams. Then Bonnaure got hot, and the tone of the game changed dramatically. South Fayette led by 12 after three quarters and Bonnaure�s seventh and final 3-pointer made it 51-37 with 5:01 left in the game.
Bonnaure and his South Fayette teammates used open looks to knock down shots, but they also hit contested shots. It was a performance that left Hedrick disappointed with his team�s effort and energy.

The Prodigy - The Fat Of The Land - Review
The punkest single of 1996 wasn't by Green Day, or Rancid, or any of the other snotty US bands making a killing reheating the sound of the Buzzcocks and UK Subs for the American suburbs. In fact, it came from a quite unlikely source: The Prodigy, a UK rave outfit helmed by the young Liam Howlett who, following the Criminal Justice Act legislation that turned blissed-out ravers into lawbreakers, decided to channel his music in a quite different, anti-establishment direction. Firestarter, a demented burst of punk-rave with a video featuring dancer-turned-singer Keith Flint, dyed hair spiked up like a pair of devil horns, going mental in a sewer, made The Prodigy – already a pretty big deal following 1994's chart-topping Music For The Jilted Generation – into household names.
It would take 15 months for the Prodigy to follow up Firestarter with a full album, but by the time it arrived, they had reinvented themselves almost entirely. The hi-octane techno beats of yesteryear take a back seat to heavier, slower hip-hop influenced numbers like Mindfields and Diesel Power, the latter featuring a rap from former Ultramagnetic MC Kool Keith. The rave-speed tracks like Funky Shit and controversy-baiting Smack My Bitch Up, meanwhile, simmer with negative energy, utterly divested of the loved-up vibe that dominated dancefloors mere years before. Throughout, Flint and fellow MC Maxim play the role of demented ringmasters, barking cartoonishly grotesque rhymes, and there's space for a couple of guest spots as well. Kula Shaker's Crispian Mills might just have turned out his finest moment on the nine-minute Narayan, exhorting cod-mystically about ''the western sun'' over slamming breakbeats (not sure about the Buddhist chant interlude, mind). And things climax with a hell-for-leather cover of L7's Fuel My Fire that grafts seething, Generation X rage into a sleek techno engine and hands the keys over to the joyriders.
Heavy enough to appeal to the rock kids but remaining a dance album to the core, Fat Of The Land was almost single-handedly responsible for breaking electronica in the US. The Prodigy would never better it, but then, it's hard to know how they could.

THE family of former Prime Minister Edward Moringe Sokoine yesterday commemorated 35 years since his death with a new modern house built by the government.
Five years ago, in 2014 during the 30th Anniversary of Sokoine's death, President Jakaya Kikwete who attended the memorial mass, ordered the construction of a family house at the former premier's residence.
The National Service (JKT) had meanwhile refurbished the old house belonging to Sokoine, erected a perimeter wall fence in the previously unprotected homestead and built a mausoleum which marks the former premier's grave.
The leading religious dignitary of his denomination, Polycarp Cardinal Pengo who is outgoing archbishop of Dar es Salaam, led hundreds of leaders and residents of Monduli and Arusha Region in the reminiscence mass held in honour of the departed premier who died in a road accident on Thursday, the 12th of April 1984.
Prime Minister Kassim Majaliwa represented the government in the memorial mass, restating the state's position in honouring Edward Sokoine as a true patriot.
Sokoine, who was MP for Monduli, died without many properties or even personal belongings, owning only three pairs of Kaunda suits, without a private personal car while his house in Monduli was but a humble homestead.
The country marks 35 years since the late Sokoine died in Dakawa area, as he travelled from Dodoma where he had just adjourned a parliamentary session, returning to his office in Dar es Salaam.
His official Mercedes Benz was rammed by a runaway Toyota Land-Cruiser BJ40 being driven by Dumisani Dube, a South African national who was among ANC fighters hosted at the freedom fighters' camp in Mazimbu.
On the 1st of August this year, Sokoine would have marked his 81st birthday anniversary. He was survived by two wives, Napono and Nekiteto, along with 11 children. His youngest daughter, Namelok Sokoine is the only one who followed her father's footsteps in joining politics.


This Thanksgiving, what are you thankful for?
Yes, I know. Your health. Your family. Food on the table. The upcoming football game. And, perhaps, some Black Friday shopping.
Those are all good and worthy things. I am thankful for them too.
But, it's Picture Book Idea Month. And that means I am thankful for ideas. All kinds of them.
For a while, I didn't know what to say.
But then, I figured it out. Or, I should say that Wendy Reid Crisp did. She wrote an essay in a book that is the perfect answer. I wish I could repost it for you here. But, you know, copyright issues.
Anyway it's about an aspiring actress in New York who is riding the subway and notices a lone grape rolling down the center aisle. She can't figure out where it came from, but appreciates the absurdity of the moment enough to write a letter to the New York Times. Her letter is printed.
Then, the actress (who, remember, is unknown) goes to an audition. The director thinks her name sounds familiar and finally asks, "Are you the woman with the grape?" She acknowledges that she is. He praises her eye for detail and understanding of human behavior. She gets the part.
To me, successful writers are people who notice the grapes in life. The weird, funny moments. The unexplainable occurrences. The odd socks the mail carrier is wearing. The squirrel that you can't stop watching because it reminds you of your Uncle Esteban—except, you know, smaller. The snippet of conversation you overheard from the next checkout lane that made no sense but won't get out of your head.
That's where writers get their ideas.
For my Thanksgiving picture book, SHARING THE BREAD: AN OLD-FASHIONED THANKSGIVING STORY (Schwartz & Wade, 2015) I got the idea from some weird words that popped into my brain during one of those boring meetings that make you question every career choice you've made to get to this point in your life.
Mama, be a cooking pot, cooking pot.
Big and round and black and hot.
The words made no sense. I hadn't been thinking about mothers or pots or cooking. But I liked their very weirdness. I emailed them to myself at home and played around with them that night.
In other words, I noticed the grape and decided to do something with it.
Not that it was easy. First, I thought I might create some kind of play or game where kids could pretend to be different items.
Then, I thought the family might find the items instead of being them. Soon everyone was cooking a meal.
But, the rhyme scheme seemed off. So I revamped, using Dori Chaconas' ON A WINTRY MORNING as a mentor text. When I told her this at a recent Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators conference, she told me she used a different mentor test to write her book, so I guess we're all sharing the love.
But, I eventually made the story work, and another editor was interested. Anne Schwartz had me revise again. And again. And then suggested I add a rhyming refrain. Which was incredibly hard to do, but unquestionably added a lot to the book.
Some writers carry notebooks to jot down rolling grapes when they see or hear them. Others keep the grapes corralled in their heads. Do whatever works for you, but notice those grapes. They just might end up in the best fruit salad you ever created.
Pat Zietlow Miller has three picture books in print and seven more on the way. Her debut, SOPHIE' S SQUASH, won the Golden Kite Award for best picture book text, an Ezra Jack Keats New Writer Honor and a Charlotte Zolotow Honor. It also won the Midwest Region Crystal Kite Award and was a Cybils' finalist. WHEREVER YOU GO briefly made the Midwest Booksellers bestseller list, and SHARING THE BREAD was, at one point, the No. 1 Amazon.com release for new Thanksgiving books. Pat blogs about the craft of writing picture books at http://www.picturebookbuilders.com. She lives in Madison, Wisconsin, with one wonderful husband, two delightful daughters and two particular cats. Find her on Twitter at @PatZMiller.
Pat is giving away a signed copy of SHARING THE BREAD: AN OLD-FASHIONED THANKSGIVING STORY.
Time to give yourself a PiBoIdMo break. You deserve it.

West Coast Eagles great Glen Jakovich joins calls for change to 'three strikes' policy in wake of Nick Riewoldt's AFL drugs comments
West Coast Eagles great Glen Jakovich has joined the chorus of concern about illicit drug use in the AFL, saying the league should make immediate changes to the controversial 'three strikes' system.
Former St Kilda captain Nick Riewoldt sent shock waves through the AFL yesterday, declaring drug use in the game was "out of control" and players were taking advantage of a drug policy that is too soft.
Jakovich said he believed the 'three strikes' system was easy to manipulate, and any players found to be faking mental health problems to avoid drug tests should face "significant bans" from the game.
"There is no place for them in the industry because there are people suffering serious mental health issues," he said.
"It tars everyone with the same brush and people will start saying every player who has mental health issues has a drug problem."
Riewoldt took to the airwaves in Melbourne yesterday to reject former coach Grant Thomas' claim that illicit substance abuse was rife while he was playing, but said it had rocketed since.
Thomas, Riewoldt's former coach, said last week that after he left St Kilda at the end of 2006, a former player told him drug use was "rife" at the club.
A Melbourne radio presenter then claimed 16 players at one club were avoiding drug tests by using mental health reasons as an excuse, a suggestion that was rubbished by Collingwood president Eddie McGuire.
The supposed use of drugs at St Kilda during the mid-2000s coincided with a tumultuous period of drug abuse at West Coast, which culminated in the fall from grace of former Eagles captain Ben Cousins.
"The issue that's come out of (Grant Thomas' comments) is what it's like now," Riewoldt told radio station SEN.
"Back then no, but now I would say, 'Yeah, absolutely, it's pretty out of control'. It's out of control now because players can. That's the way the policy is set up.
"The AFL, by their own admission, say the policy aims to identify AFL players who have substance abuse issues and places the necessary support around them to protect their health and wellbeing.
"The vast majority of players don't have abuse issues. They're just taking the piss out of the system and players who abused the system were likely to get caught. "There's no recourse, there's no ramifications, so it's a free-for-all in the off-season."
Jakovich would not speculate on the number of players who were drug users, but claimed those who were could easily get away with it and believed change was vital.
He said club bosses needed to know earlier when a player had recorded a drug strike so they could intervene.
"It's got to go," Jakovich said. "Players who are risk takers and recreational drug users will expose any loophole in the system."
But Eagles ruckman Nathan Vardy defended the AFL's drugs policy. "We have the hair test twice a year," Vardy said.
"It is a 15-month period and if you get a positive twice in that time you get a strike and named and shamed. (But) there are guys that are going to make mistakes as well and you don't want to name and shame guys that have just made a mistake."
Riewoldt said players would continue to take chances until the illicit drugs policy bared its teeth.
"I know it's a voluntary policy and the AFLPA and the players can completely scrap it," he said.
"It is world-leading because there's nothing else like it and I understand that. If they're serious about getting the number closer to zero, remove the safety net. If players have a drug issue, then getting a four-match suspension on their first detection is probably the least of their worries because they need to sort their life out.
"Blokes are doing it because the system allows them to get away with it. You're telling me if they're going to get a four-week ban on their first detection they're going to do it?
"They're not going to do it because they know if they get caught they miss four weeks of footy and everyone is going to know about it."
Asked if he had a solution, Riewoldt said: "I would have a suspension on the first detection. At the moment the deterrent is not strong enough."

Australia's iconic actress of the 1970s and beyond, Margaret Nelson, of PICNIC AT HANGING ROCK, CLASS OF '74 and THE LOST ISLANDS.
KIRBY'S COMPANY and THE LOST ISLANDS.
Throughout our lives, we have cause to remember both people and events. Often we relate those people and events to the decade in which they first leapt into our consciousness. For me the 1970s was ABBA, The Beach Boys, 'The FJ Holden' movie, 'Picnic at Hanging Rock', 'Class of '74' and Margaret Nelson. By what some may see as a strange quick of fate, Margaret Nelson appeared in both 'Picnic at Hanging Rock' and 'Class of '74'.
The TV series 'Class of '74' provided a launch pad into 'Picnic' for a number of actresses, but for me it was Margaret who attracted my attention. She had about her a naturalness quite unlike any other actress on television at the time. There was a depth to her performances in 'Class of '74' missing from those of the other cast members, at least for this viewer. So I did something not unusual for the time, perhaps. I sat down and wrote a letter to her. It was one of only five fan letters I've ever written. (To answer your unasked question, the other four were to Ray Walston, Connie Hines, Jonathan Harris and Anna Massie). Margaret wrote back to me and yes, it gave me a great buzz. That short letter is still a treasured memory of the period.
In 2002, an article http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2002/11/22/1037697872494.html appeared in the Sydney Herald and related newspapers concerning a new edition of 'Picnic'. The editor of the book had managed to contact many people connected with the movie but Margaret Nelson remained the notable exception. There was no trace of her. Most likely Margaret married, moved or simply decided she preferred anonymity to a measure of fame, and who could blame her in this day and age?
This page will serve as a sourch of information on Margaret for fans of this fine actress. Photos are few and far between. The couple which appear here are publicity photos from an industry publication in my collection. I did write to one of her agents, but the agent was unable to provide any information, apart from surmising that Margaret had dropped out of the acting profession. The one above is from "Picnic".
Height (from promotional information) 5ft 3"
Dates of photos top of page: Left, pre-1976. Right, pre-1985.
I really don't mind how many times I hear the type of statements you wrote. / There might be the opportunity of publicity with the bus storyline. I hope so because I would enjoy the travel and meeting people. / Stranger storylines are yet to come, especially one impractical one involving Patti and Mike. It will continue into next year, but I'm not sure if I will.
COMMENTS RECEIVED - COMMENTS NEEDED.
It was nice to see a fan site for Margaret, I became a fan after watching The Lost Islands. They showed Picnic on one of the Sky channels over here just yesterday. I only caught a snippit but she was in most of that.
It's a shame that nobody seems to know what's happened to her.
Hope you can keep updating the site.
Thanks for your response, Ken. Hopefully someone who knows, or knew Margaret, will contact us.
Just something I stumbled across and I don't know whether you've seen, but the first episode of 'The Lost Islands' has been posted to YouTube some time ago. Funny, I didn't even think of looking for it. / But it brought back some youthful memories, particularly of that cheesy theme song which now seems strangely reminiscent of the one from 'Gilligan's Island'! How naive we all were as kids! / And, of course, both Margaret and Jane Vallis in the cast. It may be something you might want to link to your dedication page.
Thanks, Martin. As youtube clips have a habit of disappearing and moving, anyone who wants to check there for Margaret clips should go to http://www.youtube.com and put "Margaret Nelson" or "The Lost Islands" in the search window. Also, "The Lost Islands" is available on DVD in both European and Middle East countries, but so far not in Australia or other English-speaking countries.
I just looked at your website in honour of the brilliant Margaret Nelson. I first saw her in Picnic At Hanging Rock and was quite taken by her beauty and couldn't care less for Miranda (haha). Your website is brilliant and I wanted to thank you for showing the letter she wrote to you, especially great to see her actual handwriting in this age of computers and keyboards. The photos are brilliant too. I recall Margaret from the Young Doctors too and the Lost Islands. I think the Lost Islands series was released before the Picnic At Hanging Rock movie but I seem to only remember seeing her in the Lost Islands after seeing "Picnic". It's a shame Margaret has left behind a relatively small footprint with regards to film & movie print and it would be wonderful to know her whereabouts and what she ended up doing all these years. I hope and pray she is still with us.
Good to hear from you, Marty.
I found your Margaret Nelson dedication page when looking around Google for PaHR references and wondered if you might be interested in my new novel, which I have titled, "Dream Within a Dream". The character of Sarah appears again in my story, inspired by Margaret's wonderful performance.
It would be good to know that she is still around and well, enjoying a quiet life in suburbia (if that was what she wanted!).
It seems that interest in PaHR is alive and well and the mystery continues to capture our imaginations. In my case, it actually inspired me to write!
On a sad note, were you aware that Christine Lawrance nee Schuler ("Edith"), died in Adelaide last year?
Thanks for your information, Michael. I've linked your title to Amazon.

I place the XDMA subsystem and run automation functions in the block design. The PCIe clock gets connected to a 20 MHz sysclock instead of the clock signal from the PCIe connector. What is the right way to fix this?
You can follow the steps below.
4. Check the IO ports window to know the LOC of sys_diff_clk.
Which VIVADO version are you using?
While creating the project, have you selected KC705 board?
I am using Vivado 2018.2 and selected the KC705 board when creating the project. All other lines are connected correctly.
This looks to be an issue with the block automation. You can edit the properties of sys_diff_clock to 100MHz to fix the issue. The snapshot below shows this option.
The command below also can help to update the frequency.
Ok, setting the frequency resolves the error message.
But is the signal sys_diff_clock really connected to the PCIe-connector clock? HJow can I check this?


App Filter - Cabinet Width Dish Compact 18 in.
I installed the machine myself. It was relatively easy. I gave four starts because most of my dishes are too big for the rungs. It gets them clean well though. My suggestion is if you have thicker ceramic dishes this might not be the right machine for your home.
If you want the dishes to be dried this cycle does not go on automatically you have to set your timer so you are right next to the washer when the wash cycle is done you have exactly 3 seconds to open the door and leave it unlocked only then will the drying function come on. If you miss those 3 seconds you cant just turn on the drying cycle it would be too easy: you have to start the wash cycle all over again even if you dont need it.


I deal with the poor and visit them, not the rich. I love all, especially the poor. All sorts of people come here and I meet them all with sincere love, with heart and soul. Yet I have no intention of visiting the homes of the rich.
