Statue of Scouts founder Robert Baden-Powell given 24-hour guard as removal in UK is delayed
Vandana Rambaran
A statue of the founder of the Scout movement, Robert Baden-Powell, will be given 24-hour protection after its removal has been delayed, even as protesters continue to insist monuments with racist connotations be taken down across the United Kingdom.
TOPPLED STATUE OF 17TH-CENTURY SLAVE TRADER FISHED OUT OF BRITISH HARBOR, TAKEN TO 'SECURE LOCATION'
The statue of Baden-Powell — a British Army officer who critics say was a racist and Nazi sympathizer — has been labeled as a target for anti-racist protesters and police advised the Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole (BCP) Council to remove it.

The statue was scheduled to be taken down on Thursday, but Mark Howell, the council's deputy leader, said there's been a delay in the plan because the symbolism behind the statue is "deeper than originally envisaged," according to reports by Sky News.
The statue, which is located on Poole Quay in Dorset, England, will be protected 24 hours a day "until it is either removed or the threat diminishes," Howell said.

The Scouts was founded by Baden-Powell in 1908 as an educational movement for young people.
Some who are against the removal of his statue say he is an integral part of British culture and the Scout movement he founded garnered 54 million members worldwide.
However, against the backdrop of protesters across the world fighting against racial inequities, spurred by the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis, activists have said a symbol of someone who had racist views cannot be tolerated.

"Whilst famed for the creation of the Scouts, we also recognize that there are some aspects of Robert Baden-Powell's life that are considered less worthy of commemoration," council leader Vikki Slade said, according to reports by NBC News.
The Boy Scouts of America was inspired by the Boy Scouts Association established by Baden-Powell.

Many of us are concerned about the food. Many of us are tries many dieting plans to deprive the fat via reducing the consumption of food. And we avoid our favourite recopies to control the fat.
Similarly, pasta is the food which we avoid from our dining rooms. But surprisingly studies have shown that pasta now helps to reduce obesity.
The study at the University of Canada shows that if you want to reduce your fat, you should include pasta in your diet.
It reduces the body's toxins, Atkins, and reduces weight. The carbohydrate content in the pasta reduces sugar content of our body. Moreover pasta is made from wheat. It is also effective in reducing weight.
Experts have discovered that the study of 32 people who conducted a study in the University of Canada found that the pasta could help reduce the body weight.


Brooklyn was definitely the place to be Memorial Day weekend. Starting with Dance Africa at Bam/ Bazaar Street Festival, which concluded on Memorial Day. Following attending the annual show/ festival thriving on the music, dance, fashion, and art of the African Diaspora my spirited was definitely lifted and I wanted to participate. So I figured what better way to end a wonderful evening than with Chop and Quench formerly known as the Fela!?! This was my 2nd time attending Chop and Quench residency at the Knitting Factory Brooklyn. As promised this time around I brought my entire crew pictured below. I needed them see for themselves what I was raving about and of course the band did not disappoint.
Chop and Quench weekly residency concludes June 2nd 2014, so I urge you to attend before it's too late. Every week the band is joined by a special guest and this week was the Ghanaian-American Powerhouse Abena Koomson. Abena played Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti (Fela's mother) in Fela! On Broadway and also was the former vocal captain. She was right next us dancing and singing along until it was her time to take the stage. She belted out the classic "Lady" and all the ladies and the room owned their Queendom.
The night was absolutely perfect. Watching my friends thoroughly enjoy themselves as the Afro-Beat Rhythms held them hostage. Seeing them dance and smile truly made my night worth it. I couldn't keep this experience to myself. My Forces of Nature dance sister and Fela Queen (Fela! Tour) Tricia Taitt also owned the stage when pulled up to do a solo. Another major highlight was when the band performed "Teacher Don't Teach Me Nonsense." I could not compose myself and to top it off they concluded with the high-octane Fela! On Broadway version of "Kere Kay." That was it for me!
I have to give a special shout out to two of the beautiful Fela! Queens Oneika Phillips and Shakira Marshall. You ladies gave us every bit of life and were total sweethearts. I could only hope that you felt our energy from the front as we paid homage to art of working our Nyash. Thank you Chop and Quench for yet another incredible show and your unparallel musicianship. We all left the knitting factory elated! Don't miss out on your opportunity have this experience, there is only 1 last show before Chop and Quench residency concludes and tell them Jerijah sent you!

Paul Potts performs on Got Talent's All Star series The Champions
Posted January 22, 2019 16:19 by Josh Darvill
Britain's Got Talent winner Paul Potts has become the latest UK act to perform on the show's All Star season.
Paul won the first ever series of Britain's Got Talent over a decade ago now in 2007.
On Monday night, he appeared on America's Got Talent: The Champions, representing the UK.
The brand new series features acts from Got Talent series across the world, competing together to be crowned the ultimate champion.
Opera singer Paul performed Caruso for the judges, including Simon Cowell.
And he won the public vote, becoming the second act from Britain's Got Talent to make the final together with Susan Boyle.
Speaking before his performance, Paul recalled his first audition for BGT back in 2007: "I flipped a coin and decided if it landed on heads I'd do the audition. Thankfully the coin landed on heads and it changed my life.
"I walked onto that stage as a nobody and left it as a somebody."
Simon told him: "You define what this show is meant to be, which is people with extraordinary talent that just weren't given a chance."
Also through in the third heat was singer Angelica Hale. Other acts who performed on Monday night included two more former Britain's Got Talent stars: Extreme Rollerskating Duo Billy & Emily and Illusionist Darcy Oake.
They were eliminated together with Magician Jon Dorenbos, DJ Arch Jnr singer Prince Poppycock, Sideshow Duo Ryan Stock & AmberLynn, comedian Samuel J. Comroe and stand up Tom Cotter.
Last week's second heat saw eExtreme Knife Throwers Deadly Games and opera singer Cristina Ramos make it through while the opening saw Susan Boyle receive Mel B's golden buzzer directly after her performance, seeing her through to the finals, along with comedian Preacher Lawson.
Other acts still to compete for Britain's Got Talent include the most recent champion, Lost Voice Guy.
More former BGT contestants appearing on the show including miniature magician Issy Simpson, and pianist Tokio Myers.
The show airs on NBC in the States on Mondays and on Netflix in the UK from Wednesdays.

Eight Capital, a distressed and special situations investment manager focused on investing in India, and Emso Asset Management, a London and New York based emerging markets fixed income asset manager, announced today that they have acquired Ambit Capital's stake in Ambit Flowers Asset Reconstruction Company, to be renamed J.C. Flowers Asset Reconstruction Company ("JCFARC") upon completion of the transaction.
The JCFARC will be managed by Eight Capital's team in Mumbai and intends to purchase non-performing loans from Indian Banks in target companies that the team believes have the potential to be turned around through balance sheet restructuring and infusion of fresh capital. JCFARC anticipates acquiring loans with its own capital as well as on behalf of investors.
J.C. Flowers and Co., a leading private investment firm specializing in the financial services industry, and Ambit launched the ARC in 2016 to invest in the Indian distressed asset market. J.C. Flowers will become the largest shareholder after the transaction closes.
"I am excited to partner with J.C. Flowers and access the firm's specialized knowledge and deep relationships in the financial services industry across the globe. J.C. Flowers has an established past track record of turning around troubled financial firms with large pools of NPLs which we expect will translate into a substantial advantage for our business," said Ravi Chachra, Chairman of Eight Capital.
"In addition, Emso will bring its vast experience of investing in emerging markets across geographies and sectors to strengthen the partnership", he added.
"We look forward to continuing our longstanding relationship with the principals of Eight Capital and establishing a new relationship with J.C. Flowers in what we believe to be one of the timeliest investment opportunities within emerging markets today," said Rory McGregor, Chief Operating Officer of Emso Asset Management.
"The senior team at Emso has on average more than 20 years of experience deploying capital in the emerging markets fixed income space and we are fortunate to partner with these two experienced firms to develop a new investment platform in one of the fastest growing emerging markets", he added.
"With more than 10 years of experience investing in the Indian credit markets, Eight Capital's deep domain knowledge and strong relationships with market participants make them an ideal local partner for the JCFARC," said Thierry Porte, Managing Director at J.C. Flowers.

Husband of missing Frederick woman arrested after wife, 2 daughters disappear
Posted 10:57 pm, August 15, 2018, by Web Staff, Updated at 10:44AM, August 16, 2018
FREDERICK, Colo. -- The husband of a missing pregnant woman from Frederick has been arrested in the disappearance of his wife and the couple's two daughters.
Christopher Watts is being held in the Weld County Jail on three charges of first-degree murder and three charges of tampering with physical evidence in the deaths of his 34-year-old wife Shanann Watts and his daughters, 4-year-old Bella and 3-year-old Celeste "Cece."
He is being held without bond and is due in court on Thursday afternoon.
Police executed a search warrant at the house where the family lives. Investigators were seen taking bags of evidence out of the house and towed Chris Watts' work truck that was parked down the road.
Shanann Watts and her daughters had been missing since Monday. The FBI and the Colorado Bureau of Investigation were brought in Wednesday to help in the investigation.
The CBI issued a missing-endangered alert for the three on Tuesday.
A close friend said she dropped off Watts at home in the 2800 block of Saratoga Trail about 2 a.m. Monday when they got home from a work trip. She saw her go inside.
She said the two friends were supposed to meet later in the day, but Watts didn't answer her phone.
Christopher Watts said Tuesday that he didn't know where his wife and daughters were.
"In my heart, I believe that she is somewhere and I hope that she is safe," he said. "I don't know what to do right now. I just feel so alone in this house right now. I don't know where to to from here."
Shanann Watts' brother posted on social media that Christopher Watts confessed to the killings to investigators and added his sister was 15 weeks pregnant with a boy.
Law enforcement has not confirmed the confession.
Investigators have not said what led to the killings.

Q: Is shelve unsafe for read-only multiprocessing? The documentation of the shelve module makes the following claim under Restrictions:

The shelve module does not support concurrent read/write access to shelved objects. (Multiple simultaneous read accesses are safe.)

As far as I can tell, this means that as long as I don't try to have multiple processes write to a single shelf at once, I should be in the clear. Multiple processes using the same shelf as a read-only cache should be safe. Right?
Apparently not. After some struggling, I ended up with a test case that appears to demonstrate some very bad behavior when reading asynchronously from the shelf. The following script:

*

*Creates a Shelf and populates it with "i" : 2*i for i from 1 to 10.

*Reads all those values back, to assure they got stored correctly.

*Spawns processes to retrieve values for each key from the shelf file, and reports whether a value was retrieved or not.
import multiprocessing
import shelve

SHELF_FILE = 'test.shlf'

def store(key, obj):
    db = shelve.open(SHELF_FILE, 'w')
    db[key] = obj
    db.close()

def load(key):
    try:
        db = shelve.open(SHELF_FILE, 'r')
        n = db.get(key)
        if n is not None:
            print('Got result {} for key {}'.format(n, key))
        else:
            print('NO RESULT for key {}'.format(key))
    except Exception as e:
        print('ERROR on key {}: {}'.format(key, e))
    finally:
        db.close()

if __name__ == '__main__':
    db = shelve.open(SHELF_FILE, 'n') # Create brand-new shelf
    db.close()

    for i in range(1, 11): # populate the new shelf with keys from 1 to 10
        store(str(i), i*2)

    db = shelve.open(SHELF_FILE, 'r') # Make sure everything got in there.
    print(', '.join(key for key in db)) # Should print 1-10 in some order
    db.close()

    # read each key's value from the shelf, asynchronously
    pool = multiprocessing.Pool()
    for i in range(1, 11):
        pool.apply_async(load, [str(i)])
    pool.close()
    pool.join()

The expected output here would naturally be 2, 4, 6, 8 and so on up to 20 (in some order). Instead, arbitrary values cannot be retrieved from the shelf, and sometimes the request causes shelve to blow up altogether. The actual output looks like this: ("NO RESULT" lines indicate keys that returned None):
6, 7, 4, 5, 2, 3, 1, 10, 8, 9
ERROR on key 3: need 'c' or 'n' flag to open new db
ERROR on key 6: need 'c' or 'n' flag to open new db
Got result 14 for key 7
NO RESULT for key 10
Got result 2 for key 1
Got result 4 for key 2
NO RESULT for key 8
NO RESULT for key 4
NO RESULT for key 5
NO RESULT for key 9

My intuition, given the error messages, is that maybe external resources (maybe the .dir file?) aren't being flushed to disk appropriately (or maybe they're deleted by other processes?). Even then, I'd expect a slowdown as a process waited for the disk resource, rather than these "oh I guess it's not there" or "What are you talking about this isn't even a shelf file" results. And frankly I wouldn't expect there to be any writing to those files anyway, since the worker processes only use read-only connections...
Is there something I'm missing, or is shelve just outright unusable in multiprocessing environments?
This is Python 3.3 x64 on Windows 7, if that turns out to be relevant.

A: There's an alerting comment in shelve.open() documentation:

Open a persistent dictionary. The filename specified is the base
  filename for the underlying database. As a side-effect, an extension
  may be added to the filename and more than one file may be created.

Try to pass a preopened shelve (instead of a filename) to the pool threads, and see if the behaviour changes. That said, I don't have a repro with 2.7, Win7-64 (an output is all messed up of course).

If you are a big fan of the neutral colour palette, then it is time to try those hues in other places as well apart from your wardrobe. So, why not start with your home interior? The abundance of textures and styles, the neutral colours offer is incomparable. Debunk the myth that only bold colours are beautiful and neutrals are boring; and start researching on the shades and elements of the neutral palette. Mud Andrew Heaney Angels Jersey , beige, gray, mocha, etc. are some of the popular members.
As an interior decorator Andrelton Simmons Angels Jersey , I have designed various contemporary households in the recent past. And I made it a point to add a lot of textures by implementing various kinds of neutral elements. But in case, you do not want to spend a lot by hiring a professional decorator then why don't you just brush up your DIY skills a bit. And invest in quality neutral wallpapers, wooden furniture, floors Albert Pujols Angels Jersey , and window Blinds Whittlesea. To know more, read on.
Neutral backdrop – Decoding the secret of a magical neutral interior is pretty simple. Adding lots and lots of texture is the basic. And thus, the first thing which you have to do is create a neutral backdrop that is painting the walls with colours like beige or off-white. If the painting does not seem like a very good idea, then why don't you just opt for the ready-made wallpapers? Opt for the ones with geometrical patterns Yunel Escobar Jersey , or simply the plain ones. A neutral backdrop will give you the opportunity of enhancing the beauty of many other elements, which might not be possible with garish and bright wall colours. Hand a few interesting wall arts to add more to the "glam" factor. Remember that layered textiles can create the perfect neutral warmth.
Window treatments – For adding lots of textures, you should opt for neutral window blinds like Blinds Reservoir. Bid "goodbye" to the age-old curtains since the modern-day blinds are much more appropriate for a contemporarily styled interior. While many people overlook this particular element, let me tell you that we decorators give a lot of emphasis on the window dressings. If possible Shohei Ohtani Jersey , then ask the manufacturer to customize it and make it a statement blind. Here are a few window treatment ideas that will not only obey the "neutral rules" but also are extremely functional.
Vertical blinds – The first kind of window treatments that is appropriate for a neutral interior is vertical blinds. They have vertical slats as the name suggests and looks beautiful. Opt for a light gray or off-white vertical window treatment. The best part about these is that they are extremely easy to install and clean. You do not need any kind of professional help in order to install them. The mode of operation is pretty simple too and you can do it either with the help of cords or a chain system.
Roman blinds – The second one appropriate for this kind of interiors is Roman shades. They are beautiful and will surely enhance the beauty of the space. If you take some out and search online, you will see a variety of Roman shades available.
Roller Blinds – Another great option is single or dual Blinds Diamond Creeck. They are great for blocking out the sun glares as much as possible. These blinds are easy to clean and maintain.
Buy beige or other neutral window blinds for treating the neutral theme right.
Wooden wows – The last thing which I am going to mention is pieces of wooden furniture. The warmth of wooden furniture is great for this type of interior. You can either settle for tan brown chairs, tables, and accent pieces or muted yellow ones. There are many online companies selling gorgeous wooden furniture.
So Rod Carew Jersey , now you know the basics of playing with hues like beige, gray, tan brown, etc Ricky Nolasco Jersey , right? So, don't delay anymore and invest on neutral elements like furniture, wallpapers, and Roller Blinds Preston.
Author Bio: Mia Green is an interior decorator and a regular blogger on Blinds Preston and Diamond Creeck. Here Reggie Jackson Jersey , she writes about a neutral interior. Read her articles to know about types Blinds Whittleseaas well as Blinds Reservoir.

Kyalami Moved to Category H BoP
SRO moves Kyalami to high-altitude specific Balance of Performance table…
Photo: Audi
SRO Motorsports Group has moved Kyalami to its high-altitude specific Balance of Performance table, in a change made one hour prior to qualifying for this weekend's Intercontinental GT Challenge powered by Pirelli season finale.
Announced in a bulletin sent to teams at 1:43 p.m. local time, the overhaul has seen multiple BoP changes, including a 35 kg weight break for the Audi R8 LMS GT3 Evo and 45 kgs of weight shed from the Lamborghini Huracan GT3.
Four of the turbocharged-powered cars have had increases in turbo boost pressures, with the Ferrari 488 GT3 and BMW M6 GT3 getting additional power at the mid-to-high end RPM ranges and minor boosts to both the Bentley Continental GT3 and Aston Martin Vantage GT3.
It came after the 2.8-mile circuit, which is holding its first international sports car race in nearly 20 years, was initially declared by SRO as a Category C track and utilized that table through Friday's Pre-Qualifying session.
The track's altitude of 5,029 ft (1,532 meters) places it just marginally lower than Utah Motorsports Campus, for which the SRO introduced a high-altitude-specific Balance of Performance two years ago.
At that time, SRO Motorsports America's director of competition Marcus Haselgrove said the Category H BoP would theoretically be used for any track 3,000 feet or above sea level, although it was not initially in place for the start of this weekend's event.

'Soldier Girls' is funny, informative; The most engaging current movie turns out to be a documentary; '50s nostalgia again
By David Sterritt
Diner is another replay of ''American Graffiti,'' set in Baltimore during the Christmas season of 1959. Its vulgar language and preoccupation with sex reflect the lingering adolescence of its characters, who are poised on the brink of adulthood and can't quite find the courage to plunge in. Still, this is Hollywood's most mature treatment of the '50s-nostalgia theme so far, and the most accurate. It's not as subtle or sympathetic as the underrated ''More American Graffiti,'' laid in the early '60s, but then, that was a flop at the box office. By contrast, ''Diner'' looks like a hit, despite the secondhand feel of its plot and many of its situations.
The main virtue of ''Diner'' is its insistence on treating its characters as young adults rather than overgrown children. There are plenty of childish high jinks, some of which approach the ''Animal House'' level of cheap vulgarity. But other scenes intelligently depict a credible group of folks in their early 20s, coming to grips with real problems of life and love. Such moments are carefully directed by filmmaker Barry Levinson, and performed with conviction by a good cast that includes Mickey Rourke, the memorable arsonist of ''Body Heat'' and new-crowned king of the post-Fonzie school of acting.
With so much going for it, then, why doesn't ''Diner'' emerge as a major statement? Mostly because of the recurring weakness of its screenplay. Levinson is very good at concocting situations, and quite poor at figuring out what to do with them. Nearly every thread in the story line is unconvincingly resolved, petering out just when a touch of drama is needed. ''Diner'' looks good, but doesn't add up to much.

PPP extended for two more months
By: Gabrielle Saulsbery
President Joe Biden signed the PPP Extension Act of 2021 into law March 30, extending the Paycheck Protection Program an additional two months to May 31 and providing an additional 30 days for the U.S. Small Business Administration to process pending applications.
This legislation extends the December law, under which small businesses that employ 300 or fewer people and that have experienced at least a 25% gross revenue loss due to ongoing pandemic were eligible to apply for a second forgivable PPP loan; and forgivable overhead expenses were expanded to include supplier costs and costs related to facility modifications and personal protective equipment needed to operate safely.
The extension legislation was introduced by U.S. Senate Committee on Small Business & Entrepreneurship Chair Ben Cardin (D-Md.) and U.S. Senators Susan Collins (R-Maine) and Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.).
SBA Administrator Isabella Casillas Guzman said in a prepared comment on the law that the president is sending a strong message to the 30-plus million small business owners negatively impacted by the pandemic: "help is here."
"By signing the PPP Extension Act of 2021 and the American Rescue Plan Act into law, the President is providing additional critical relief to the smallest of the small businesses – the mom-and-pop shops that line our Main Streets and keep our local and regional economies going," Guzman said.
The SBA has administered more than eight million PPP loans in the last year.
In remarks made at signing, Biden called the extension legislation a "bipartisan accomplishment."
"We're pushing lenders to raise their game and provide more help to small — many small businesses. As you know, particularly Hispanic, as well as African American small businesses are just out of business because they got bypassed the first time around," Biden said.
Biden noted that nearly 90,000 business owners are still in line for the funds and that there's money left.
"Without somebody signing this bill today, there are hundreds of thousands of people who could lose their jobs, and small and family businesses that might close forever. And, as you know, small business is the backbone of our economy, representing almost 50 percent of all the employees in America," he said.

The morphologic and functional differentiation of human trophoblast cells culminates in the formation of the terminally differentiated multinucleated syncytial trophoblast. In culture, isolated mononuclear cytotrophoblasts aggregate and then fuse to form syncytia, recapitulating the in vivo process. In the present studies, we investigated the expression of the Ca(2+)-dependent cell adhesion molecule (CAM), E-cadherin, during the morphologic differentiation of trophoblastic cells. Cytotrophoblasts were isolated from human chorionic villi, and JEG-3 and BeWo choriocarcinoma cells, cytotrophoblastic cell lines which under standard culture conditions are not fusion competent, were obtained by dispersion of ongoing cultures. Cultures were terminated at timed intervals and E-cadherin was analyzed by immunocytochemistry and electron microscopy using specific antibodies. In addition, E-cadherin expression was investigated by western and northern blotting. During the aggregation of cytotrophoblasts, E-cadherin was localized on the cell surface at points of cell-cell contact and could not be demonstrated following cellular fusion. In contrast, it remained on the surface of aggregated JEG-3 and BeWo cells throughout the duration of culture. Western blot analysis revealed a time-dependent increase in E-cadherin (120 × 10(3) Mr) which coincided with maximal aggregate formation at 24 h in both normal cytotrophoblasts and JEG-3 cells. A marked reduction of E-cadherin in fusing cytotrophoblasts was subsequently observed as syncytial trophoblasts became the predominant cellular form in culture. In agreement with the immunohistochemical observations, there was no change in E-cadherin levels in the non-fusing JEG-3 cells. Northern blotting demonstrated a significant reduction in the 4.5 kb transcript in fusion-competent cells over the 96 h of culture. Exposure of the normally non-fusing BeWo cells to 1.5 mM 8-bromo cyclic AMP induced cellular fusion and syncytium formation. This process was accompanied by a disappearance of E-cadherin from the cell surface as assessed by immunocytochemistry and western blotting and a parallel reduction in the abundance of the E-cadherin mRNA. Immunoneutralization experiments using an antiserum directed against the extracellular domain of cadherins inhibited syncytium formation in normal trophoblasts compared to an antiserum against the E-cadherin cytoplasmic tail, which had no effect upon aggregation and fusion of these cells. We conclude that E-cadherin exists in a dynamic state in fusion-competent cytotrophoblasts and that down regulation of its gene expression coincides with cellular fusion. In addition, this process appears to be cyclic AMP-mediated in BeWo choriocarcinoma cells.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Montana Needs The Death Penalty To Protect Against HIV Spitballs?
Written by Kevin Farrell on February 9, 2011
Republican Rep. Janna Taylor has begged the Montana courts to not prevent the death penalty. Apparently Montana prisons are rife with cases of HIV positive prisoners killing prison guards with self-fashioned HIV spitballs. And we must kill these would-be killers!
Except that's not at all how HIV is transmitted.
Taylor pleads with the court, "Now as soon as I sit down, about five minutes later I'll think of the exact thing I should have said. But please, PLEASE keep the death penalty in Montana."
Umm, maybe you should have forgone standing up altogether, if this is the type of drivel you come up with when you are standing.
Also worth noting, an excerpt from Taylor's "Accomplishments" page on her website.
Janna Taylor's major fault is that she does not tell people about her accomplishments. We were both first elected for the 2005 session and I want people to know her strengths.
Eek. We're going to have to respectfully disagree with you here, Ms. Taylor. Ignorance about the spread of HIV used as evidence to kill prisoners certainly outweighs 'not telling people about your accomplishments'. Oh, and we're not too crazy about you speaking in third person, either.
What do you think of Taylor's HIV paper blowdart story?

2016-17 Season Preview: Ohio State Buckeyes
From a certain vantage point, one could make the argument this should be a pretty straightforward preview. Due to a combination of graduations, early exits, and transfers, Thad Matta has had to battle significant roster turnover in each of the past three offseasons. Over that span, the Buckeyes have won 10, 11, and 11 Big Ten games. This offseason we had more roster turnover, yet again. So, it would be pretty easy to predict 10 or 11 wins, and a comment about being on the right or wrong side of the bubble depending upon how many shocking non-conference losses Ohio State piled up.
But that ignores a couple of things. First, one cannot simply go by conference and raw record to judge team quality. In addition to an ugly non-conference slate that included a couple of humiliating losses at home, Ohio State sweated out multiple wins against the bottom of the Big Ten, and was essentially uncompetitive with the top teams in the league. The final kenpom rating—76—was far lower than anything ever achieved in the Thad Matta Era (previous low was 34).
And while last season was exceptionally bad, that's kind of the point—it was likely an exception. Matta annually welcomes too much talent to Columbus to put bad teams on the court as a matter of habit. And sure enough, Pomeroy's computer has this Ohio State team ranked highly—13—so surely, that's that and we can go back to seeing the Buckeyes as a protected seed on Selection Sunday.
But I'm not convinced. For one, Pomeroy's explanation on Ohio State is one that I don't think quite lines up with the facts:
Finally, there is no change on incoming freshmen. The top 30 or so have an impact on a team's rating and beyond that the computer is mostly blind to newcomers. That's not to say it can't make some guesses, though. In fact, it's kind of a fun challenge to predict the impact of recruiting classes without any information on the recruiting class itself. Things like basketball budget, conference affiliation, recent performance, and whether the coach is returning handle some of this. But history says you can also glean some information from what kinds of players have left a team.
_This is the case with Ohio State, who is ranked higher here than anywhere else. They had a young team last season, and the other indicators in the model are very positive. Furthermore, even though three rotation players transferred, those players were replacement-level quality for the Big Ten.
_The fact that they are leaving is viewed as a positive in the model because if those players thought they would get more playing time, they would stay. And if they don't expect to get more minutes, then those minutes figure to be taken by better players, which often means better players are coming into the program even if those players are ranked highly by recruiting services.
_In Ohio State's case, they have just one top 100 RSCI freshman joining the team, so the computer's assumptions fail a bit with respect to the Buckeyes. Still, the news of transfers leaving Ohio State was not a bad thing and even without a stellar recruiting class, there's a good chance the minutes that need replacing will end up being more productive this season than last.
Pomeroy all but admits the computer is probably screwing up. What I think it sees is something like what happened in the 2013-14 season to Kentucky. In the offseason prior to that year, not only did UK lose two starters to early entry and graduation, but two other starters transferred—and they were actually pretty good players, too (Ryan Harrow and Kyle Wiltjer). For a team coming off a disappointing NIT first round exit, this isn't an ideal situation. But, of course, those players transferred not because the program was on fire, but because Calipari welcomed a freshman haul that included Julius Randle, James Young, Aaron and Andrew Harrison, and Dakari Johnson. Harrow and Wiltjer read the news, of course (or, more likely, Calipari had a level-setting conversation with them), so they took their talents elsewhere. A similar thing happened the next season with Kansas, which saw talented underclassmen Andrew White and Conner Frankamp leave for nearby schools with more opportunity. I'm sure KU's class that included Kelly Oubre and Cliff Alexander factored into those decisions.
But when looking at the circumstances surrounding Ohio State, I'm not sure that's the case. While Matta certainly believes the program is better off without one or more of Daniel Giddens, Mickey Mitchell, A.J. Harris, and Austin Grandstaff, it's not like the incoming class is a monster one (on paper, at least), with just one consensus top-100 recruit. So, from my vantage, this looks more like Lickliter Turnover than Calipari Turnover.
But the good news is that while it's generally not good to hemorrhage top-100 sophomores without restocking the cupboard with high-level talent, the fact of the matter is that these guys did not play very much in Big Ten play last year. Grandstaff was gone by then, and the other three accounted for roughly 20 percent of the player-minutes. That's an entirely replaceable amount. Moreover, the best sophomore of the bunch figures to be JaQuan Lyle, and he's still on the team and figures to take a massive leap forward as he cuts down on turnovers and improves his outside shot.
Matta still has a 6-man rotation that's as good as any in the Big Ten, and he typically does not have any issues keeping a tight rotation. It's probably best to assume last season was an aberration, and that Ohio State will return to its usual success this year. However, while I respect Pomeroy for not reaching into the machine and executing a manual override, I'm going to peek behind the data. To me, this is more like a strong 11-win team, than a team that's going to finish atop the Big Ten standings.

Letter to Shareholders of Facedrive Inc. from Sayan Navaratnam
September 04, 2021 01:56 PM Eastern Daylight Time
TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mr. Sayan Navaratnam announced last week that he would be stepping down as Chairman and CEO of Facedrive Inc. Below is a letter from him to all fellow shareholders.
It was with a heavy heart that I earlier announced my resignation from Facedrive Inc. as of September 1, 2021. Serving as CEO of this truly transformational company has been a great privilege.
At its inception, Facedrive was seen by some as simply a sustainable ridesharing business. I saw something far more disruptive and transformational: an untapped ESG technology platform that could leverage mobility and logistical technology to bring consumers together and move the world forward. I was drawn to the idea of Facedrive as a platform for environmental change. I wanted to be part of building a business that championed the idea that we can create successful businesses that operate in a way that is accountable to the planet.
During the two years of public markets operation, the incredibly innovative and dedicated Facedrive team completed numerous transactions to evolve and grow the business. Everyone on the team worked tirelessly. Weekends didn't exist. Holidays were few and far in between. We all knew we were building something special. I also invited many of the key executives from other companies with which I am involved to assist with building the Facedrive business; all of them did so with no compensation.
Facedrive transformed from an eco-friendly rideshare company to an ESG platform with five connected offerings. Facedrive built out a food delivery service through its acquisitions of Food Highway and Foodora, and later expanded this to offer last-mile logistical services. Facedrive built out its electric vehicle subscription business through its acquisition of Steer from Exelon. Facedrive created and grew its health services business through the development of a market leading contact tracing technology. Each of these initiatives was a culmination of my original vision, but was also accelerated by the pandemic's impact on the ridesharing business.
During this same two-year period, members of the executive team, founding shareholders, and key early investors—with the exception of Mr. Imran Khan—continuously and voluntarily agreed to extend their share lock-up agreements. Investors received no consideration for these voluntary lock-up extensions. We, as a team, wanted to send a clear message that we believe in the long-term success of Facedrive and have no intention of selling shares during its early years. I did my best to lead by example. I continued to voluntarily lock up my shares. I refused a salary or stock based compensation and I refused reimbursement for company-related expenses. As a team, we have always been in it for the long term and believed that, in time, the company would become characterized by a stable and reliably traded stock. We were happy to keep our heads down, put in the work, and reap the rewards at the right time.
Late last year, I commenced an action in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice against Mr. Khan, in which I dispute his ownership of a considerable number of Facedrive shares. If I am successful, I intend to donate these shares to several charities that I support. After I commenced the action, Mr. Khan advised that he had no intention of selling shares in Facedrive. Despite this representation, Mr. Khan later publicly announced a plan to sell Facedrive shares. Since that announcement, Mr. Khan has sold hundreds of thousands of Facedrive shares and made millions of dollars. Naturally, this has had a dramatic impact on the stock value and has caused it to trend negatively almost every day thereafter. I learned last week that Mr. Khan intends to divest a further 786,000 shares. All of this while management felt fundamentals and execution of our vision are stronger and better than ever.
Mr. Khan's decision to sell his shares has put his own interests ahead of those of Facedrive's investors, employees and partners. Mr. Khan is making millions of dollars when the people that actually built the business voluntarily restricted their ability to sell.
Mr. Khan's decision to sell such a significant volume of shares has forced the hands of Facedrive's other investors. Given Mr. Khan's conduct, Facedrive Inc. announced earlier that it is offering to release investors from all voluntary lock-up agreements. Such investors are expected to become, subject to their contractual restrictions and financial and legal advice, free from any voluntary lock up extension.
I believe my decision best serves the interests of Facedrive and its shareholders. I have absolute faith in the management team to execute on our vision and remain the largest shareholder. However, I will not allow my pursuit of Mr. Khan to conflict with or distract from the business of Facedrive. I cannot, in good conscience, allow hundreds of employees to work tirelessly, investors to patiently hold their positions, and management to continue building the business, while the one person least responsible for it all cashes out. As such, I intend to dedicate my resources, time and energy to bringing Mr. Khan to justice. He must be held accountable.

What is individual communication skills coaching?
One-on-one attention from a coach can make all of the career difference in your world—especially if your needs are very focused on a specific area, or your professional development budget makes coaching a better alternative to a full certificate or degree program. The School of Communication and Information (SC&I) Professional Development Services (PDS) maintains a vast network of professionals who are experts in their coaching topics. Individual coaching can be supplemental to a certificate program or stand on its own as a professional development avenue for your career growth.
How does individual communication skills coaching work?
Our network of experienced professionals are located around the country. You're likely quite busy yourself! Where in-person sessions are possible, typically you and your coach will discuss goals and progress via phone, e-mail, Skype®, GoToMeeting®, or other remote methods. As coaching partners, you will decide together when and how it's best to meet to make the most of the coaching sessions. We recommend four to six contact hours as a minimum.
We recommend a one-hour preliminary meeting, and typically three to five additional one-on-one hour sessions based on individual coaching desired outcomes and spaced out appropriately. In the preliminary meeting, you will get to know one another and outline your needs so that your coach can design a plan customized for you. The follow-up meetings can be spaced appropriately based on your needs. You'll likely be completing assignments and conducting personal progress assessments in between the one-on-one sessions.
How do I find out more about individual communication coaching?
Please contact PDS, and let us know what individual coaching topic(s) you are interested in. We'll contact you with a brief coaching questionnaire, match you with a coach that has the skills and experience in the areas that you seek, and we'll go from there.
What are some of the topics for individual coaching?


Through multiple math activities, morning meeting, charts and graphs, math games, estimating, and cooking, students explore and begin to understand math as a dynamic process that follows a logical pattern. Activities focus on patterns, sorting, number sense, estimating, and graphing. The math program incorporates problem solving, reasoning, communication, and making connections in mathematics.
Through activities that include theme studies, trips, books, morning meeting, and art projects, the students learn about geography and culture. Emphasis is given to understanding and appreciating both the similarities and differences in the diverse cultural communities that make up our school class and New York City. Students learn to ask questions, to listen to each other, and to apply old information to new situations. There is continued focus on students' social and emotional growth and their role as members of the classroom community.
Drama is a natural extension of the way Kindergarten students explore their world. Students are engaged in formal drama activities including improvisation, sensory games, and collaborative play. Drama is employed in the library to further explore a story they have read. Drama is seen in the classroom, in the dramatic play area and to support the units. The students prepare and perform a small informal presentation of their work for their teachers and partners.
Students engage in a hands-on program that combines both physical and life science units such as insects, nutrition, rocks and minerals, and weather. The focus is on scientific literacy and scientific processes. Literature is used as a springboard for scientific exploration and discovery. Children learn to observe, question, explore, experiment, predict, and solve problems through a variety of age-appropriate activities.
French in Kindergarten is all about exposing children to the spoken language and encouraging them to speak as much as possible at an age when they can mimic accents perfectly. Material is presented through games, songs, stories, and TPR (total physical response) activities and skits. By the end of the year, children use greetings, say how they feel, respond to classroom instructions, and know the vocabulary from thematic units such as animals, food, family, and French holidays and traditions.
Art is integrated into all aspects of the curriculum. Children study specific artists, their lives, styles, and chosen media. They then create personal works of art that reflect that knowledge. Children use a wide variety of media such as clay, paint, dye, and collage to explore and develop an appreciation and love of artistic expression.
Students continue to explore their sensitivity to music and their imagination and creativity. Emphasis is placed on singing and vocal exploration. Respect for each other and listening skills are incorporated as well. Classroom activities employ a variety of musical and learning styles, giving students the opportunity to sing, play instruments, and embody class music. In Kindergarten, students continue to study simple musical notation.
The main emphasis in Kindergarten is on developmental games and exploratory activities intended to help children understand how their bodies move. Students experiment with movement while progressing toward the mature form of manipulative and motor skills such as kicking, throwing and catching, running, skipping, hopping, and jumping. Students use the climbing wall and engage in activities that reinforce movement awareness concepts and skills. Class activities foster cooperative learning, creating a positive focus on social interaction.
Children continue to develop a love of literature and an appreciation for the library. Utilizing their librarian and connecting through a weekly library class involving stories, using book-based activities, and browsing other programming, children awaken a sense of discovery through literature. Books selected to circulate to the classroom reflect a variety of interests and include subjects related to the curriculum. Students learn to recognize the library as a place of discovery.
Students in Kindergarten are the younger partners of students in Grade 4. They meet every other week for educational and social activities. The Partners Program provides an opportunity for older and younger children to develop strong and lasting relationships. It offers early experiences in service to others and contributes to the strong sense of community across all grades that is characteristic of St. Luke's School.
Younger students use technology in the classroom with their teachers. iPads, Smartboards, and desktop computers are designed to be used to enhance cross-curricular activities. Morning meetings is an example where students use technology to support their learning.
Children grow in confidence and self-awareness as they develop the ability to work productively on their own and as members of a group. Classroom routines, activities, and expectations are designed to help children grow in their understanding of, and appreciation for, the diverse backgrounds, interests, and talents of others. Our goal is to have the children in Kindergarten feel confident within the community of St. Luke's School and to have them build a classroom community in which they can learn from and with each other.
Children foster their sense of awe, wonder, and understanding of ritual by celebrating a wide variety of seasonal holidays. Each student develops the sense of him or herself as an individual with a capacity to give and share, and to develop a concern for all living things.
In Junior Chapel children experience an age-appropriate model of worship based on the Episcopal liturgy, adapted to the changing needs and traditions of an interdenominational student body and faculty. By linking Episcopal ritual to a broad religious context, the aim is to affirm and nurture all students in their spiritual life, and to strengthen their connection to their own religious tradition. At Junior Chapel children sing, pray, talk, and receive birthday blessings.
All the Lower School classes, Junior Kindergarten through Grade 4, attend a morning meeting on Fridays, called Mentions. Children share news, celebrate talents and interests, and learn about community and current events at a developmentally appropriate level.
Children have recess in our outdoor play area. They use equipment such as trikes and balls; enjoy the slides, ladders, and platforms of the play structure; and engage in both structured and unstructured free play to develop large motor muscles.
An extended day program is available with many enrichment classes offered for an additional fee.

Q: only one Node_modules folder for all

hello and today i want to know if i can have only one node_modules folder for all my node js bots, note they are not in app form just single files that use ..... = require('module'); my point is that i have easily more than 7 bots and i go back and forth improving them and maintaining the node_modules folder can be tedius, is there a way where i can have only one folder with all my modules and just do .... = require('path/to/node_modules/module');
or .... = require('path/to/node_modules/'); could someone please point me in the right direction, because when i update my code on my various bots i have to make sure the module is installed, can i have only one node_modules folder???

A: In another file say myLibs.js you could do something like
module.exports = {
  lib1: require('lib1'),
  ...
  libn: require('libn')
}

then in the original file you would do
var myLibs=require('./myLibs.js');

and reference them by myLibs.lib1...
A little clunky, I know, but it should work.

A: I can think of these different options:

*

*You can put all your bot files in the same directory and run them all from that directory so all the modules installed in that directory can be used by all the bot files.

*You can install all your modules globally.

*You could make one shared directory where you installed all the modules and then explicitly point to that every time you want to load a module by referencing that path.  This seems less clean because every single user of a module has to know where to load it from.

*For each module you want to use in a project, create symlinks to the place where the modules are actually installed.  This doesn't seem like it saves any work over just installing the modules again for each bot though.

Q: Saving an image in OpenCV I am new to OpenCV, and trying to capture an image, and then save it to a file. I am posting the code for your reference, below.
The jpg file is being saved, but it is black.
// Capture the Image from the webcam
CvCapture *pCapturedImage = cvCreateCameraCapture(0);

// Get the frame
IplImage *pSaveImg = cvQueryFrame(pCapturedImage);

// Save the frame into a file
cvSaveImage("test.jpg". ,pSaveImg); // A JPG FILE IS BEING SAVED
                                    // OF 6KB , BUT IT IS BLACK

All of the functions are succesful. I have tried the above code in both XP and Vista - the result is a black image on both. Please let me know what I am missing out.

A: Sometimes the first call to cvQueryFrame() returns an empty image. Try:
IplImage *pSaveImg = cvQueryFrame(pCapturedImage);
pSaveImg = cvQueryFrame(pCapturedImage);

If that does not work, try to select capture device automatically:
CvCapture *pCapturedImage = cvCreateCameraCapture(-1);

Or you may try to select other capture devices where n=1,2,3...
CvCapture *pCapturedImage = cvCreateCameraCapture(n);

PS: Also I believe there is a misunderstanding about captured image looking at your variable name. The variable pCapturedImage is not an Image it is a Capture. You can always 'read' an image from capture.

A: In my experience OpenCV writes a black image when SaveImage is given a matrix with bit depth different from 8 bit. In fact, this is sort of documented:

Only 8-bit single-channel or 3-channel
  (with 'BGR' channel order) images can
  be saved using this function. If the
  format, depth or channel order is
  different, use cvCvtScale and
  cvCvtColor to convert it before
  saving, or use universal cvSave to
  save the image to XML or YAML format.

In your case you may first investigate what kind of image is captured, change capture properties (I suppose CV_CAP_PROP_CONVERT_RGB might be important) or convert it manually afterwards.
This is an example how to convert to 8-bit representation with OpenCV. cc here is an original matrix of type CV_32FC1, cc8u is its scaled version which is actually written by SaveImage:
# I want to save cc here
cc8u = CreateMat(cc.rows, cc.cols, CV_8U)
ccmin,ccmax,minij,maxij = MinMaxLoc(cc)
ccscale, ccshift = 255.0/(ccmax-ccmin), -ccmin
CvtScale(cc, cc8u, ccscale, ccshift)
SaveImage("cc.png", cc8u)

(sorry, this is Python code, but it should be easy to translate it to C/C++)

A: If you use C++, it is best to use C++ interface:
using namespace cv;
// Capture the Image from the webcam
VideoCapture cap(0);

// Get the frame
Mat save_img; cap >> save_img;

if(save_img.empty())
{
  std::cerr << "Something is wrong with the webcam, could not get frame." << std::endl;
}
// Save the frame into a file
imwrite("test.jpg", save_img); // A JPG FILE IS BEING SAVED

A: sorry if this is too obvious. Are you sure the webcam is properly seen and detected by OpenCV
in other words, do you get an image when you redirect the captured frame to a "highGui" window? For instance like so:
 frame = cvQueryFrame( capture );
 cvNamedWindow( "myWindow", CV_WINDOW_AUTOSIZE );
 cvShowImage( "myWindow", frame );

A: I know the problem!
You just put a dot after "test.jpg"!
cvSaveImage("test.jpg". ,pSaveImg);
I may be wrong but I think its not good!

A: I had similar problem with my Microsoft WebCam. I looked in the image aquisition toolbox in Matlab and found that the maximum supported resolution is 640*480.
I just changed the code in openCV and added
cvSetCaptureProperty(capture, CV_CAP_PROP_FRAME_WIDTH, 352);
cvSetCaptureProperty(capture, CV_CAP_PROP_FRAME_HEIGHT, 288);

before cvQueryFrame function which was the next supported resolution and changed skipped some initial frames before saving the image and finally got it working.
I am sharing my working Code
#include "cv.h"
#include "highgui.h"
#include <stdio.h>

using namespace cv;
using namespace std;

int main()
{
CvCapture* capture = cvCaptureFromCAM( CV_CAP_ANY );
cvSetCaptureProperty(capture, CV_CAP_PROP_FRAME_WIDTH, 352);
cvSetCaptureProperty(capture, CV_CAP_PROP_FRAME_HEIGHT, 288)

 // Get one frame
IplImage* frame;

for (int i = 0; i < 25; i++)
{
frame = cvQueryFrame( capture );
}

printf( "Image captured \n" );
//IplImage* RGB_frame = frame;
//cvCvtColor(frame,RGB_frame,CV_YCrCb2BGR);
//cvWaitKey(1000);
cvSaveImage("test.jpg" ,frame);
//cvSaveImage("cam.jpg" ,RGB_frame);

printf( "Image Saved \n" );

//cvWaitKey(10);

// Release the capture device housekeeping
cvReleaseCapture( &capture );
//cvDestroyWindow( "mywindow" );
return 0;
}

My Suggestions:

*

*Dont grab frame with maximum resolution

*Skip some frames for correct camera initialisation

A: I use the following code to capture images:
CvCapture* capture = cvCaptureFromCAM( CV_CAP_ANY );
if(!capture) error((char*)"No Capture");
IplImage *img=cvQueryFrame(capture);

I know this works for sure

A: I suggest you run OpenCV sanity check
Its a serie of small executables located in the bin directory of opencv.
It will check if your camera is ok

A: I had the same problem on Windows Vista, I just added this code before cvQueryFrame:
cvSetCaptureProperty(capture, CV_CAP_PROP_FRAME_WIDTH, 720);
cvSetCaptureProperty(capture, CV_CAP_PROP_FRAME_HEIGHT, 480);

A: Sorry to bring up an old post, but I wanted to provide another answer for anyone that comes across this thread.
I had the same problem. No matter what I did, the image just looked like it was complete black. I tried making multiple consecutive calls to cvQueryFrame and noticed that when I made 5 or more, I could see the image. So I started removing the calls one by one to see where the "breaking point" was. What I ended up finding was that the image got darker and darker as I removed each call. Making just a single call provided an image that was almost completely black, but if I looked very closely, I could make out my image.
I tried 10 consecutive calls to test my theory, and sure enough, I was given a very bright image, considering that I'm in a dimly lit room. Hopefully, this was the same problem you were encountering.
I don't know much about imaging, but it looks like multiple consecutive calls to cvQueryFrame increases the length of exposure for the camera. This definitely fixes the problem, though it doesn't seem like the most elegant solution. I'm going to see if I can find a parameter that will increase the exposure, or perhaps some other parameter that will brighten up my images.
Good luck!

A: SayntLewis is right. When you activate the camera with cvCaptureFromCAM, the auto white balance is not yet adjusted (it's a slow process), so you may get a mostly white or mostly black (depends on the camera and your lightning conditions) on the first frames.
The same happens when there's a sudden change of the lightning  of the scene.
Just wait some time after opening the camera, flush the buffer and you're ready to go.

A: hopefully this will save images form your webcam
#include <opencv2/core/core.hpp>
#include <opencv2/highgui/highgui.hpp>
#include <opencv2/imgproc/imgproc.hpp>
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;
using namespace cv;

int main()
{
   VideoCapture cap(0);

   Mat save_img;

   cap >> save_img;

   char Esc = 0;

   while (Esc != 27 && cap.isOpened()) {
    bool Frame = cap.read(save_img);
    if (!Frame || save_img.empty()) {
        cout << "error: frame not read from webcam\n";
        break;
    }
    namedWindow("save_img", CV_WINDOW_NORMAL);
    imshow("imgOriginal", save_img);
    Esc = waitKey(1);
}
imwrite("test.jpg",save_img);
}

A: From my experiences the first few frames that are captured when using:
frame = cvQueryFrame( capture );
Tend to be blank. You may want to wait a short while(about 3 seconds) and then try to capture the image.

A: i think, simply camera not initialize in first frame.
Try to save image after 10 frames.

A: On OSX, saving video frames and still images only worked for me when I gave a full path to cvSaveImage:
cvSaveImage("/Users/nicc/image.jpg",img);

Maribor is the European Capital of Culture in 2012
Great events are foreshadowed: in 2012 Greater Maribor in Slovenian Styria will be at the centre of European culture. Slovenia's second largest city presents itself as European Capital of Culture to an international audience together with its five neighbouring cities of Ptuj, Murska Sobota, Novo mesto, Slovenj Gradec, and Velenje.
Each of the cities contributes to the overall project with its own charm: Velenje will above all focus on its industrial heritage, Ptuj is rich in artefacts from Antiquity and ethnological sites and it is the location of the traditional Kurentovanje carnival, Novo Mesto is known for its situlas of the Hallstatt culture and avant-gardes theatre, Murska Sobota showcases the world of rural culture, and Slovenj Gradec stands out as the World Peace City.
The varied programme breaks down into 4 sections: "City Keys", "Urban Ruts", "Terminal 12", and "Life by the Touch of a Button". It provides for numerous exhibitions, film shows, concerts, plays, literature events, children's cultural festival, and theatre performances. The lively opening weekend is set for January 13th to 15th 2012. The annual festival of "Lent" and Creative Festival of serious music Festival Maribor are also parts of the official agenda.
Moreover, the World Youth Chess Championships will be held in Maribor in 2012, and in 2013 the bustling university town will be at the centre of attention as European Youth Capital. To complete this festive marathon in winter 2013, the 26th Universiade will attract visitors to Styria from around the globe.
The picturesque university town of Maribor on the banks of River Drava is located between the dark forests of the Pohorje Mountain in the north and the lush vineyards of Styria in the south. The city centre offers a variety of well-maintained castles and palaces, among them the city castle and baroque palace of Betnava. The old town on the other hand is characterized by medieval squares. Even nowadays visitors may admire the remains of the historical city wall including the court tower, water tower, Jewish tower, and synagogue along the river embankment. Each year in June Maribor transforms into an international visitor destination: the former raftsmen's quarter of Lent, today Maribor's pub district, is home to Slovenia's largest and most important music and cultural festival "Lent" visited by more than half a million guests. Also during the "Festival Maribor" which is held every year in September, culture, tradition, and artistic expression are clearly to the fore. Among wine experts the city enjoys widespread acclaim for its "old vine". At 400 years the oldest productive vine is even in the Guinness Book of World Records.
Apart from the sites in the city centre, also Maribor's surroundings offer attractive opportunity to become active and enjoy: numerous wine roads make Slovenian Styria an El Dorado for lovers of refined and autochthonous wines. Moreover, there is the greatest concentration of first-class natural spas and precious springs here in the country's east. With the Pohorje Mountains the region around Maribor also offers ideal prerequisites for exciting outdoor holidays both in summer and winter. Whether cycling, Nordic walking, hiking, downhill skiing, ski tours, or tobogganing – there is something just right for everyone.
