Glitter, sequins and fake tan will make for a glamorous night as amateur dancers take to the floor this weekend for a charity Strictly Come Prancing competition.
This Morning and Strictly Come Dancing star Alison Hammond will put local couples through their paces.
Alison has signed up as celebrity judge at the event, which will be held at Aberdeen's Ardoe House Hotel this Saturday (March 30).
All proceeds will go to Banchory-based Forget Me Not Club, which provides vital support and activities for those living with dementia, their families and carers.
A total of 10 couples have been involved in dance lessons for several months and will be taking to the floor to perform either the tango or the salsa, with a panel of judges scoring their efforts.
Lesley Fletcher, development manager at the Forget Me Not Club, said: "The dancers have been working so hard to perfect their chosen dances and the audience are in for a fantastic night. We are excited to have Alison Hammond joining us on the panel.
Limited tickets are still available for Strictly Come Prancing, which sees around 250 guests enjoying a drinks reception and dinner before watching the dancers and voting for their favourites.
After a dance-off, the overall winners will be crowned.
Last year's event raised more than £20,000 for the charity and was won by Julie Goddard and John I'Anson, who were crowned the winners after wowing the crowd with their cha-cha.
Alison will join fellow judges Emma Stewart, of Deeside Dance Centre, and David McGinley, of Atlantic and Peninsula Marine Services, the main sponsor of this year's competition.

I was suggested to wear a Yellow sapphire or pukhraj for better marriage prospects. After going thru various shops online, I found Mahavir Gems & within few minutes I finalized my gemstone and ordered it. To my surprise, I received a very good prospects in 3 weeks, which could be a coincidence, but I am really thankful to Mahavir Gems.
I was looking for genuine, unused good quality Ruby or Manikya with reasonable price. I had visited many stores but was unsatisfied either with quality, price or certification. At Mahavir Gems I got my Gem of desired quality & quiet reasonable price comparatively.
Honest and Genuine gemologist. Highly recommended Thank you Kaushikbhai for enhancing my understanding about gemstones. Thank you..
I had purchased Opal gemstone from Mahavir gems couple of months back. I personally believe that if the gemstone is original then only it will get you the desired results. And trust me in my case I got the positive results within a few days after wearing the gemstone bought from Mahavir Gems.
Visited yesterday the shop I wanted a carved Ganesha on stone .. had a really great time talking with Mr. Kaushik sanghvi . He has logical explanation to all your query in scientific way.. looking forward to visit him again .
I had almost everything in my personal life, but a good health was one of the major factors that was missing in my life. With poor physical health, it affected my mind, my family & my daily activities. Even after going through many medical treatments, things were not right in place. After buying an unused Pearl from Mahavir Gems, I found much benefits physically & mentally.
Guys i would suggest mahavir gems for everyone who wants to buy genuine and unused gemstones online, as a buyer u will get 100% satisfaction after you will buy gemstones from this beautiful online shop Mahavir gems trust me you don't have to go anywhere else.
Great service and Quality products offered by Mahavir Gems .I am a very satisfied customer and Would like to place more orders in future as Manager Gems symbolize Trust.
There were no false hopes involved like many others do to get their business done . Mahavir Gems has the best authenticated collection of gems with wide range and in depth knowledge of stones, which actually makes u feel sense buying them at his outlet.
Mahavir Gems is one of the trusted shop in Zaveri Bazar, Mumbai and well known for providing, uncut, unuse and unprocessed gems. I wish all the very best to Mr Kaushik.
I searched on net a lot and finally, after reading all the reviews, I was convinced to visit Mahavir Gems. Fact of the matter is that this gemstone industry is quite grey and so it's difficult to make out whether you are being sold out to a genuine one or a fake one. End of the day, it's all about trust. I trusted Mahavir Gems and bought yellow sapphire from there.

The Long Road Sit Down with Seaforth
Since permanently trading Sydney in Australia for Nashville in 2017, Mitch Thompson and Tom Jordan have really been putting the Northern suburb of Seaforth on the global map. Their first release "Love That" which was released in late 2018 became the title track off their debut EP released six months later which really started turning heads across the entire world of country music. After five full year in Music City and being one of the most in demand acts on the festival circuit on both sides of the Atlantic, the next chapter is now upon us with the release of their new EP What I Get For Loving You" that be released through Arista Nashville on Friday August 26th.
The eight-track project which was produced by Jordan from their own home studio really makes a statement to back up the level of hype and rave reviews that they have received previously. Hitting over 340 million global on demand streams to date is no mean feat and as a wholistic project "What I Get For Loving You" really highlights both of the most appealing characteristics that have been a big factor in contributing to these numbers.
Firstly, they have a wonderfully perfected male two-part harmony sound that is as much a fit for tracks laced with slick beats as they are in poignant and deep ballad, which the EP has a great balance between both. The other thing is their charisma, they are great fun and as they had put it themselves unashamedly Australian where the energy (and top-level banter) from their live shows conveys so well on the recording in their up-tempo fun, summer tracks.
Getting to hear the tracks live straight away is not something we have been too familiar with but a refreshing treat as the duo were in the United Kingdom when the album was released. The trip may not have gone quite to plan but an appearance at both The Long Road Festival and Nashville Meets London, along with opening for two dates on Brandy Clark's tour and a roaring sold out headline show at The Camden Assembly made sure that this release was having the ability to instantly connect with the audience over here.
During their time at The Long Road Festival, we caught up with Mitch and Tom which you can listen to below:
Whether it be the summertime vibes of the Sean Kingston featured "Queen of Daytona Beach", "Dr Phil" or "Magic" which would be completely in place amongst CHR stations anywhere on the planet and the good time vibes of their Jordan Davis collaboration "Good Beer" there are plenty of feel-good elements to this record which manage to be cohesively held together by slower fan favourites like "What I Get For Loving You" and "Breakups" that highlight that these two fun loving guys have a softer side too.
The second track on the album is called "Palm of Your Hand" whilst the way that the record flows to entice and excite listeners puts you firmly in the palm of their hands and really sets out such a strong base of creativity and energy meeting vulnerability and vocal harmonies that really symbolises why these two cheeky lads from Sydney are an act that you are instantly drawn to and want to GET IN on.
"What I Get For Loving You":
1. Queen of Daytona Beach (with Sean Kingston)
2. Palm of Your Hand
3. Breakups
4. Good Beer (Feat. Jordan Davis)
5. Used To It
6. Dr. Phil
7. What I Get For Loving You
8. Magic
The brand-new Seaforth EP, "What I Get For Loving You" is out now through Arista Nashville and can be found HERE.
Mitch and Tom have just returned to the US following their trip to the UK and you can find all ticket information regarding upcoming US dates available on their website whilst you can stay in the loop with the guys socially on Twitter Facebook TikTok & Instagram.

River of Úpa sources at a slope of Studniční hora in Giant Mountains.
River of Úpa sources at a slope of Studniční hora in Giant Mountains. It heads shortly for south, then it turns to southeast and near of Česká Skalice to southwest. Úpa mouths to Elbe (Labe) near to Jaroměř. Its river basin makes 513 km². The upper section – from Pec to Svoboda - is stony with boulders and stages in a bed with a big slope, which is slowed down with high weirs, some of them are passable, some are among high walls, and the boats´ carrying over is quite difficult. Under the weir, distant approx. 1 km before confluence with Malá Úpa it is a pass, which is worth to watch. The laying tree accross the river would be very unpleasant object at this moment. The valley is inhabited. After Trutnov, the stream becomes more moderate, the valley is more attractive, less inhabited and the navigation through wider bed goes more smoothly. From Babiččino údolí (Grandmother´s Valley) the steram becomes more calm, moreover, near Ratibořice is the water taken away for watering of Rozkoš-Dam. Provided the water level is lower on these places, so the navigation is impossible to be effected. The fooding marked also the Úpa-Valley, damaged beds of some tributaries and constructions along the rivewr. The same is valid for Malá Úpa river, this belongs to passable and very nice rivers. Úpa river is navigable after snow-thaw or after heavy rains. Its upper section up to Trutnov is delicate not only for minimum water lever, but also for maximal water level. The reason is that at higher water level the landing on some places (in front of weirs) is quite difficult, so dangerous situations could occur. The favourable water level comes later as in Jizera or Kamenice, as Úpa river takes waters of highest plains of Giant Mountains. The water index in Česká Skalice is influenced by taking water for Rozkoš-Dam, moreover, after floodings came to changes in water-index-profiles. As orientative signs could serve for upper section (from Pec) 45-50 cm in Maršov. The passage could be estimatted on spot. The navigation along the river goes smoothly, in spite of the fact that some weirs are not suitable for passage and the boats are to be carried over. From this reason, the section Svoboda-Trutnov is not transitable. In Trutnov it is on the beginning of May taken place slalom race-event. The upper section of the river is situated in Giants Mountain Natural Preserved Park, we recommend therefore to maintain certain limitations in this respect.
We find suitable camping place at Úpice and Rozkoš-Dam. Anyway. the accommodation can be reserved in any town along the river.
It is available in places like Pec pod Sněžkou, Velká Úpa, Maršov, Svoboda nad Úpou, Trutnov, Úpice, Havlovice, Slatina, Česká Skalice and Jaroměř.
It is available in health centres in Pec pod Sněžkou, Maršov, Svoboda nad Úpou, Trutnov, Úpice, Česká Skalice and Jaroměř.
Horní Maršov: Neo-Gothic church of 19th century, Neo-Renaissance castle of 18th century.
Trutnov: Renaissance and Baroque houses on a square, museum, Renaissabce castle of 16th century, Baroque church of 18th century.

Title: Countries with banknotes & coins of the same denomination
Post by: BC Numismatics on August 12, 2008, 12:44:45 AM
Here's a section where we can discuss about which countries have or did have both a banknote & a coin of the same denomination in circulation at the same time.
I can think of a few countries that have done this.
Canada from 1935 until around 1987 - $1 note & $1 coin.
Great Britain - 1 Pound coin & Scots & Northern Irish 1 Pound notes.
Zimbabwe - 2008 'currency reform' - $1 note & $1 coin,$5 note & $5 coin,& $10 note & $10 coin.
Ghana - since July 2007 - 1 Cedi note & 1 Cedi coin.
U.S.A. - $1 note & $1 coin.
New Zealand allowed the circulation of the $1 & $2 notes to circulate at the same time as the $1 & $2 coins until late 1991.
Can anyone else think of any other situations where this has occurred?
Aidan.

Post by: translateltd on August 12, 2008, 10:16:11 AM
I think Singapore $1 notes and coins circulated simultaneously - I was able to use both last time I passed through.
I had forgotten about the Singaporean $1 notes & $1 coins.Singapore no longer issues a $1 note.I don't know if the $1 note is still legal tender.
For a while,Malaysia had both a 1 Ringgit note & a 1 Ringgit coin in circulation.The 1 Ringgit note was discontinued.The 1 Ringgit note has since been reintroduced,albeit,with a new design,but the 1 Ringgit coin has now been discontinued.
Both India & Pakistan had 1 Rupee notes & 1 Rupee coins in circulation at the same time right up until the 1980's.The 1 Rupee notes have now been discontinued.
Bangladesh also had a 1 Taka note & a 1 Taka coin in circulation at the same time.The smallest denomination note that is now issued is the 2 Taka.I can't recall ever seeing a 2 Taka coin,but there is a 5 Taka coin though.
Post by: chrisild on August 12, 2008, 01:00:58 PM
Two from around here. :)
Germany (Federal Republic): 5 DEM 1952-2001 (primarily coins were used)
Austria: 20 ATS 1980-2002 (notes were preferred; coins after 1993 were circulating commems)
(The years refer to the time when the pieces were legal tender.)
Thanks for letting us know about the West German,German,& Austrian situation with the 5 Deutsche Mark & 20 Schilling coins & notes.
Post by: Figleaf on August 13, 2008, 11:13:57 PM
I believe the UK still has £5 notes. The £5 coins exist, but do not circulate.
Quote from: Figleaf on August 13, 2008, 11:13:57 PM
The British 5 Pound coins are not medal-coins in the strict sense that you can buy them for face value over the counter at a local post office.
The Canadian commemorative silver Unc. $5,$10,& $20 coins,which commemorate the 1976 Olympic Games at Montreal,Quebec,were issued at face value through some of the banks as a way of monetising the issue,which stripped these of a medal-coin status.
Post by: a3v1 on August 23, 2008, 09:46:49 AM
Here's another example:
After WWII the Netherlands, because of a scarcity of metals, introduced paper notes of 1 and 2½ Guilders. The minting of silver 1 and 2½ Guilders began in 1954. When silver became too precious these were replaced by nickel coins from 1967.
The paper notes remained circulating, however, although they gradually disappeared. Only in 1988 they were finally withdrawn.

A3v1,
Can you please post up some photos of a Dutch Rijksdaalder (2-1/2 Gulden) note,as I am not familiar with them? I'm very familiar with the Rijksdaalder coin,especially the nickel issues of both Queen Juliana & Queen Beatrix,as we still see them a lot in old collections (although there's no way of cashing them!) that my boss buys in.He is a coin dealer himself.Yes,he sometimes travels to the Maastricht coin fair.

Here is one - the 1945 issue, that is. Very "American design"; was replaced by a different one in 1949.

The nickel coins could of course be "cashed", for a period of about five years, but not any more. With paper you have some more time, roughly 20+ years ...
That's an earlier note that was withdrawn in the process of money reorganization. I don't collect notes, but happen to have on in my duplicates (http://www.worldofcoins.eu/forum/index.php/topic,324.0.html).
Note the word "Muntbiljet". Paper money is "bankbiljet" (banknote) in Dutch. This note was always meant as stopgap until replaced by a coin, hence "muntbiljet" (munt is coin), a word that until that time did not exist in Dutch.
Post by: BC Numismatics on August 23, 2008, 12:22:33 PM
That's a very nice Dutch Rijksdaalder coin note that you've got there.I know of only one country that still issues Muntbiljetten.That country is Surinam.I think that Surinam still uses a 2-1/2 Gulden coin.I know that they were using a 250 Cent coin in the 1980's,as I did have one of those.I think that one of the current Surinamese Muntbiljetten is a 2-1/2 Dollar one,which is the same denomination as the old 250 Cent coin.
In Suriname the difference between a "bankbiljet" and a "muntbiljet" is that the former is issued by the central bank while the latter is issued by the finance minister. Don't know whether that is a "universal" differentiation ...
Here are some images of Suriname gulden (pre-2004) and dollar (1 SR dollar = 1000 SR gulden) coins and notes: http://www.cbvs.sr/dutch/dollar-munten.htm
@ Peter,
PLease allow me to disagree with that last remark. In the Netherlands since 1846 many types of "Muntbiljet" have been issued at intervals (with nominal values up to 1000 Guilders). Especially in times when demand for coins surpassed the quantities the state could supply.
The only difference between "Muntbiljet" and "Bankbiljet" (as Christian rightfully points out in his contribution on Suriname) is the issuing authority:
"Bankbiljet" = Issued by the National Bank.
"Muntbiljet" = Issued by the Ministry of Finances.

The Dominion of Canada also had both 25c. banknotes (commonly called 'Shinplasters' because of their size) between 1870 & 1923.The 1870 & 1923 25c. 'Shinplasters' almost never seem to turn up.I've never seen an 1870 issue,but I have seen 2 examples of the 1923,of which one is in my collection.
The 1870 issues were issued right up until 1900.There are 3 types - one without a letter,one with the letter 'A',& one with the letter 'B'.They can be found located near the date.
The 1900-dated issues were issued right up until 1923.There are several different signatories.These notes do turn up a lot in the bottom grades,but dealers over here want too much (in my view!) for them.
The 1923-dated issues have several types,& 3 different signature combinations.These were withdrawn from circulation in 1935,along with all the other notes inscribed 'DOMINION OF CANADA'.
All the Dominion notes were replaced by the first issue of the current Bank of Canada (which was established as a chartered bank in 1935,& nationalised in 1938) in 1935 (which is now an issue that is virtually unobtainable by the average collector,as the prices have strengthened so high & so fast in the past 10 years or so).

As I recall France had 20 franc notes and 20 franc coins in circulation at the same time. I only ever received one of the latter in change.
The GB five pound coins do very occasionally circulate - about as much as a Canadian 50 cent coin nowadays!

I forgot to mention that Guernsey,the Isle of Man,& Jersey all still issue 1 Quid notes,plus they also issue 1 Quid coins as well.
Post by: Galapagos on October 25, 2008, 01:54:25 PM
When I visited Guernsey in 1999 and 2001, I found you were more likely to be given their pound notes than their pound coins- same in Jersey, which I visited in 2000. I never received any of the Guernsey 2 pound coins in change so had to ask for some at the bank to bring a couple back for collector friends.
Guernsey and Jersey were the only places I've visited where there were three coinages circulating. UK, Guernsey and Jersey coins were all accepted as legal tender. The UK does not accept Channel Island coinage as legal tender, even though their coins are of the same value as the UK's. However, since they are of the same size, colour and shape, a few slip into circulation unrecognised here in the UK, as occasionally do coins from the Falkland Islands and Gibraltar.

I attach a picture of my rather tatty 'shinplaster' given to me by an old chap in the village where I lived for 7 months in the Province of Quebec back in 1962, along with a 25 cent coin that circulated at the same time and which I got in change at that time.
Post by: BC Numismatics on November 02, 2008, 04:42:11 AM
That 25c. 'Shinplaster' is quite a nice one.The 1923 issue is not an easy one to find.
The 25c. coin was a very nice find.The King George V coins are very popular.There's a fair few scarce coins in the series,such as the 1921 5c. & 50c. coins,the 1925 & 1926 5c. coins,& the 1929 50c. coin is an extremely hard one to find.
Papua New Guinea is the latest country to have both a banknote & coin of the same denomination in circulation - the plastic 2 Kina banknote is circulating along with a commemorative bimetallic 2 Kina coin.
Have a look through http://www.bankpng.gov.pg .

China is the only country in the world where banknotes have all denominations of circulating currency and co circulate with coins. In circulation, you can find 1 jiao notes and coins(10c), 2jiao notes(no coin), 5jiao notes and coins(50c), 1 Yuan notes and coins($1)

Q: Why are these functions not working? Subtractions and additions yesterday I wrote a code about a fight of different fantasy creatures. They have hearts (like in a computer game), an attacking power and a defence. If the attacking power of the attacker is bigger than the defence of the defender. Than the attacking power will be subtract from the hearts. The fight should be finish when one of the creatures have no Hearts anymore or there more than 11 rounds. But the thing is that the round-addition doesn't work and the heart subtraction doesn't too.
Where is the problem?
thanks in advance!

BattleArena.start()

A: As far as I see, the battle should continue
while firstCreature.isAlive && secondCreature.isAlive && roundNumber < 12

A: There are 3 things that I could spot:

*

*As Roman suggests, you should rephrase the condition to be: while firstCreature.isAlive && secondCreature.isAlive && roundNumber < 12
because you want the battle to continue ONLY IF both of the creatures are alive AND it's less than 12 rounds.

*Inside your repeat block, you are incrementing your roundNumber variable by 1 but you're not assigning the incremented value back to the variable. As a result, your roundNumber variable remains unaltered with initial value of 0. To get it right, you have to replace the line with roundNumber = roundNumber + 1 or shorten it further to roundNumber += 1

*Your print statement never gets executed as it's after the return key. Using a return key just outright exits the block leaving the lines that follow unexecuted.
After doing these, I could see that your code worked as intended.

January Non-Conference Report
The time is drawing near when our non-conference opponents really matter. It's hard to believe the regular season is nearly 75% complete and that Selection Sunday is less than 6 weeks away, but that's just where we are. As Marquette moves into the final month before March Madness, let's take another look at what our non-con opponents have done in the past month, and where their RPI projects courtesy of RealTimeRPI.com.
Mount St. Mary's: The Mount went 3-5, by far their best month of the year. It was punctuated by a great win against Sacred Heart in which they fell behind, came back to take control of the game, fell behind again, came back to force overtime, fell behind, came back to force a second overtime, and fell behind again before finally winning 81-80 in double overtime. Let's hope the Mountaineers can carry that into February, where they will be favored in 4 of their 8 games. Their current RPI is 287, but their projected RPI is 272.
Norfolk State: The Spartans matched their January expectations with a 7-2 record. But losses in 2 of their last 3 has dropped them out of the top-100 RPI. There are a few upsides. First, there is virtually no chance NSU finishes outside the top-200 RPI. My preseason prediction was 275, so two wins over them, even if they aren't classed as "quality wins" will still be far more valuable than the RPI drag they were expected to be. Second, kenpom.com has NSU favored in all 8 of their remaining games this season. If they win those games, they should return to the top-100 RPI. Currently they are at 115 and projected to finish at 130. But if they win out, they'll be back in the top-100 and be a great boost for Marquette going into Selection Sunday, especially if they earn the MEAC's automatic bid.
Winthrop: The Eagles had more wins in January than they did in November and December combined. They tallied a 5-4 record and are in the middle of the Big South pack. They are only favored in 2 of 7 February games before the conference tournament kicks off. Right now Winthrop is at 276 in the RPI and projects to finish at 284.
Mississippi: The Rebels went 5-3 in January, but it could have been so much better. They dropped a double-overtime game at Auburn and squandered a double-digit halftime lead against Florida. That Ole Miss is still (barely) on the tournament bubble, however, is a good thing for Marquette. They will be underdogs in 5 of 7 in February, and probably need to win at least 4 of those (while tallying another quality win) if they want to be in the mix in March. But what's really important is that Ole Miss is currently ranked 42 in the RPI and projects to finish at 44. Ole Miss is potentially a very nice top-50 non-con win for the Warriors.
Jacksonville: After dropping all 6 games in December, the Dolphins lost their first 5 in January to extend their losing streak to 13. A short two-game winning streak was undone by losing their last 3 of the month to drop their record to 4-18. Looking ahead, however, the Dolphins will be favorites in 3 of 7 games in February. Their RPI is currently at 282 and projects to 288. What's nice is that if they (along with MSM and Winthrop) stay on course, Marquette will have zero sub-300 wins come Selection Sunday.
Wisconsin: The Badgers were much-maligned after dropping their first two of the month to drop their Big Ten record to 1-3, but have quietly won 6 straight to move into sole possession of second place in the Big Ten. Bucky is favored in 4 of 7 in February and faces some stern tests as they play Ohio State twice and Michigan State once. If they can manage to win 5 or 6 games this month, they stand a good chance of holding on for a second place league finish. This is also Marquette's best non-conference win as UW's RPI is 23 and they are projected to finish at 25.
Washington: The Huskies seem to have shaken off their early-season funk and managed to go 6-2 in January to move into a first-place tie in the Pac-12, and included a couple solid wins over Stanford and Arizona amongst their scalps. The Huskies are favored in 4 of 7 in February, but it wouldn't be unthinkable for them to win 5, 6, or even all 7 games. If they do, they can get back in the at-large picture. UW's RPI is currently 73 and projected to finish at 80. That won't be good enough, so their recent success will need to continue, or they'll need to win the Pac-12 Tournament if they want to be dancing.
Green Bay: The Phoenix went 3-4 on the month, and closed with 2 solid wins over Valpo and Butler, avenging earlier season defeats. Their RPI is currently at 160 but they'll need to keep getting some wins to keep from finishing at their projected 213. They are favored in 4 of 8 games in February, if they can manage those wins, they should remain as a top-200 team.
Northern Colorado: The Bears went 3-5 in January, which is a major disappointment for a team that was favored 7 times. The Bears are only favored twice in February, and with their RPI currently at 248 and projected at 259, MU fans will have to hope they win more than that to stay out of the sub-250 range that becomes a bit of a ding on the non-con resume.
LSU: The Tigers had a woeful January, going 2-6 while squandering chances at wins against likely tourney teams in Virginia and Mississippi State. LSU will be favored in 4 of 8 February games, though to have any chance at playing in the Big Dance they probably need to win 6 or 7 of those. They do still look like a solid NIT team, and with a current RPI of 78 that projects out to 81, shouldn't be a bad loss on the resume come Selection Sunday.
Milwaukee: On January 20, the Panthers woke up winners of 3 straight and alone atop the Horizon League. Since then, Rob Jeter's team has dropped 4 of 5 to fall to 4th place. They can turn it around as they are favored in 5 of 7 in February before the conference tournament. Even still, their RPI has fallen to 137 and is projected to drop to 144. It's highly unlikely, barring a perfect month and still probably needing a win or two in the conference tournament, that the Panthers get back into the top-100 RPI.
Vanderbilt: Vandy continued their solid close to 2011 by winning their first 5 games in 2012. They finished January with a 7-2 mark and look like they are back in the mix for the SEC crown. That will largely be determined in February. Vandy is favored in only 4 of 8 games, but the only teams they are underdogs against are Florida and Kentucky, twice each. Win 2 or more of those games and they'll be league title contenders. Regardless, their current RPI is 25 and predicted to finish at 23. No matter what, they are an acceptable loss when you're talking about the resume.

Coal Miners March 2003
Patsy Grimaldi is something of a purist. He's not real big on sliced pizza. According to him, that was a sham pulled on New Yorkers about 40 years ago by a couple of guys who laughed all the way to their bank in Italy. As for the brick oven pizzerias that have become so popular of late?
Fuhgeddabout it. They can't hold a candle to the coal burning ovens of yesteryear, he claims. "Fifty years ago, 75 years ago in New York, in all the bakeries and pizzerias, that's what they used is coal," Grimaldi says. Now, just a handful of pizzerias including his Hoboken, New Jersey restaurant-used the intensely hot ovens to bake pies.
"The reason they don't have them today is most of the old timers are gone. There's no one to carry on the trade. I was one of the first ones to come back after so many years with the coal ovens."
Grimaldi, whose restaurant bears his named, learned the trade from his uncle and namesake, Patsy Lancieri, who, in turn, learned from Gennaro Lombardi, the man credited with opening the first pizzeria in America in 1905. Lancieri opened the
celebrated Patsy's in East Harlem in 1931 where Grimaldi worked 61 years ago at the tender age of 10.
With credentials like his, Grimaldi has earned the right to voice his opinion on the subject of pizza. Between his original location beneath the Brooklyn Bridge, and his present Hoboken location, Grimaldi has earned numerous distinctions and has consistently earned high ratings from Zagat's Survey.
Hoboken's favorite son, Frank Sinatra, was a fan and had Grimaldi's pizza delivered to him on occasion when he was in the area. Scott O'Grady, the United States Air Force F-16 pilot shot down over Bosia in 1995, told reporters that thinking about Grimaldi's pizza was one of the things that kept him going when he was trying to elude captivity.
Lost Art
Grimaldi says the art of baking pies in coal-fired ovens is all but lost today. That's not surprising since many cities, including Manhattan, have outlawed new installation of the ovens over environmental concerns. Such laws are not in place in Brooklyn or Hoboken.
He sold the Brooklyn store two years ago because he says it took too much of his time to run it. At 71 Gimaldi is less of a hands-on owner, leaving the day-to-day operation of the Hoboken store up to partner Sean McHugh.
That doesn't keep him form singing the praises of the coal-fired oven, which McHugh, who did construction work prior to embarking on a new career in the pizza business with Grimaldi about eight years ago, personally built.
"A coal oven gives you a much better taste than gas or convection," he says. "Ot gives it that charcoal taste. Like if you would eat steak from a charcoal grill, it's going to be 10 times better than a gas grill."
One characteristic of the coal-fired oven is the way it blackens the crust in places, imparting a smoky flavor and distinct crispiness.
"The bottom of it is black," Gimaldi says. "The taste is unbelievable." Wood-and gas-fired brick ovens have also supplanted the coal-fired ovens, and while they may be alike in principle, Grimaldi says they simply are not the same.
"Everybody advertises 'brick oven, brickoven'" he says. "When you say brick oven, that's not a coal oven. Years ago, when they said they had a brick oven, it was a coal oven. Because they say me doing such a good business, everybody wants to get in on the act. All over the country people say 'brick oven, brick,' but nobody has a brick oven. This a brick oven.
Grimaldi laments the fact that as the coal is replaced by other fuels the knowledge of how to cook with it is being lost as well.
"Ti's a trade. It's an art," Grimaldi says. "You have to know what you are doing. The oven is very difficult to work with. If you don't know what you are doing, the pizzas don't come out right. You can have all the coal ovens you want, but if you don't know how to work it they're not going to come out right."
McHugh says pizza makers must train for a long time to become good at what they do.
"Our guys trained in Brooklyn three years before they came here," he says. "The oven is 800 degrees. So, if somebody doesn't know the oven, that pizza is going to be burned. Our pizza cooks in four or five minutes. The oven is very, very hot. It's easy to stretch the dough and make the pizza, but working the oven is the hardest thing to do. Especially if you are very, very busy. We can put out 100 pies in a half hour, so the guy on that oven has to be turning pies."
Using the Best
"The oven makes the big difference, I give 80 percent (credit) to the oven and the rest is the ingredients," McHugh says. "Without this oven, the pizzas won't come out good, but not this good."
Still Grimaldi insists on using only the best ingredients available. "We use the finest ingredients. No pizzeria in New York or Jersey uses the ingredients we use," he says. "We use fresh mozzarella. Nobody does that."
In Grimaldi's case, quality doesn't necessarily mean quantity. Diners shouldn't expect to find a lot of choices when it comes to toppings, with only anchovies, broccoli, garlic, ham, mushrooms, onions, sliced or whole olives, pepperoni, ricotta cheese, roasted red peppers and sausage being offered on the menu.
He also is particular about his dough, which is made fresh on site each day. "The dough is one of the most important thing. Basically we use the best flour we can buy. That's 50 percent of making a good pizza. If you don't have the right dough, your pizza is going to come out bad," Grimaldi says. "That's another thing, most of these pizzerias don't know how to make dough. They think it's just yeast and flour, but there is an art to that."

'We've got the watch from here': Thousands honor slain Maine sheriff's deputy

Thousands gathered inside the Cross Insurance Center in Bangor on Monday for the funeral of a Somerset County sheriff's deputy who was fatally shot while on duty late last month.
"The hours and days since then have been agonizing," said Somerset County Sheriff's Detective David Cole, who shared the rank of corporal with his late father, Cpl. Eugene Cole. "I slowly began to realize what dad had prepared us for our entire lives. He taught us to be strong."

He spoke to a crowd of 3,600 people, mostly law enforcement officers from across the state and country, who began streaming in around 8 a.m. to attend the noon service, organized by Cpl. Eugene Cole's family, the Somerset County Sheriff's Office and the Maine State Police.
[Maine law enforcement officers who died in the line of duty]
David Cole urged the audience to remember that his father's death does not mean the end of his story. "The story will continue on," he said. "We've reached the end of an amazing chapter."
"Cpl. Eugene Cole: End of watch, 4/25/18," David Cole said. "Rest easy, Dad. We've got the watch from here."

Cole's funeral was the first to ever be held inside the Cross Insurance Center, which was outfitted to seat about 8,000 on Monday. His slaying marked the first time a Maine law enforcement officer was fatally shot in the line of duty in nearly 30 years. Giles Landry, a 36-year-old Maine State Police detective, was fatally shot in 1989 and his funeral drew 1,800 to the Central Maine Youth Center in Lewiston.
Cole, 61, was shot in the neck and died while on patrol early in the early morning hours on April 25 by a suspect who fled after allegedly stealing Cole's marked police truck and robbing a convenience store before abandoning the car on a two-lane road in Norridgewock.
John D. Williams, 29, evaded police for four days, triggering a sprawling nationwide manhunt. He was found in the Norridgewock woods and arrested on April 29, not far from where he allegedly abandoned Cole's vehicle.
Williams is being held without bail at the Maine State Prison in Warren and has been charged with intentional or knowing murder.

On Monday morning, a procession of police cars escorted Cole's casket from Skowhegan to Bangor, flashing their lights and sounding their sirens as the fleet made its way north up Interstate 95. Crowds formed on the overpasses to watch as the motorcade as it passed beneath.
Uniformed members of the Bangor Police Department and other Maine law enforcement agencies, wearing formal white gloves, lined the block outside of the southeast entrance of the Cross Center on Main Street, awaiting the arrival. An American flag, hoisted by local firefighters from the ladder of an fire engine outside, fluttered in the wind as the sun shone brightly outside the arena.
Lining the sidewalk at entrance of the Cross Center, members of the first chapter of the Patriot Riders of America stood at attention holding American flags. Officers walked by and thanked them for being there.
"We want to show our respect for the people who put their lives on the line for us on a daily basis," said member and Sanford resident Anita Bergeron.
As tragic as it is, something like the loss of a colleague while on patrol "certainly does bring officers closer together," said Tiffany Simoneau, pointing to the rows of officers from different state agencies in formation along Bass Park Boulevard where, minutes later, the hearse carrying Cole's body arrived.
"It's sad, but it's a healthy reminder that we're so vulnerable, but there's strength in what we do," said Simoneau, a Lewiston-based corrections and probation officer who said she worked with Cole a few times over the years.
Massachusetts State Trooper Tom Wilson, who made the three-hour-plus drive on his own time with 40 of his colleagues, said it's always tragic when a fellow officer dies, but when one dies under these circumstances, it really rattles police forces everywhere.
"When it's homicide, it's usually where everybody takes a step back," he said.
Some of the larger departments that attended Monday's service sent designated color guards — such as the New York City Police, he said — but members from smaller departments attended on their own time, Wilson said.
Before Monday's service began and as people took their seats inside the arena, two large screens on either side of a flag-lined stage displayed photos of Cole set to music.
That music faded to silence as the motorcade escorting Cole's casket arrived in Bangor just before noon.
Law enforcement officers rose to their feet as they watched a live stream of the procession outside, their badges glimmering under the arena lights and against their black, blue, and brown uniforms.

Floor seating inside the Cross Center was reserved for the law enforcement who greeted Cole's casked as it arrived outside. They filed into rows by agency, their differently colored uniforms creating bands of red, brown and blue in front of the stage, where Cole's marked Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck was parked, flanked by bouquets of flowers.
The service began with a show of unity among law enforcement. In silence, officers from 15 of Maine's 16 counties posted their flags behind the stage, followed by representatives from all six New England states. A funeral honor guard carried in the Somerset County flag last.
The wail of bagpipes and rattle of drums soon filled the arena with music, as a funeral band led Cole's casket, draped in the American flag and flanked by a funeral guard, toward the stage to be placed before his cruiser, marked "Sheriff."
Funeral speakers remembered Cole, a 13-year veteran of the sheriff's department, as a good-humored, well-respected local officer who earned a reputation for his fair and skilled handling of tense situations, and who became a mentor to the young deputies in the department.
"Gene was a man, a deputy who treated everyone he met with respect," Somerset County Sheriff's Chaplain Kevin Brooks said. Younger deputies jokingly called him "Gramps," but "in reality, though, to many, he was like a dad," Brooks said.
He drew attention to Cole's sense of humor, and how he got a good laugh at scaring his colleagues by sounding his sirens when they weren't expecting it.
Having become a police officer in his 40s — he spent the beginning of his career running a local TV repair shop — Cole brought decades of life experience to his role as a police officer, and with it, "a sense of empathy" to those he served, Somerset County Sheriff Dale Lancaster said.
The police academy is physically grueling and emotionally taxing, and as an older cadet, "Gene embraced the challenge" in a show of grit and commitment that would characterize his 13 years at the sheriff's department, Lancaster said. He wanted to protect and serve the place he grew up, went to school, met his wife, Sheryl, and where he raised his family.
"He epitomized community policing," Lancaster said. "He wanted to keep his hometown safe."
And for the residents of Somerset County, he said, "he paid the ultimate sacrifice."
Cole was also remembered on Monday for his love of music and his skill as a guitarist, and musical performances featured heavily in the funeral program.
"There is singing of music in heaven. It wouldn't surprise me if Gene has already joined the band up there, and is playing lead guitar," Brooks said.
"That's what my family's all about: we always sang," said Tom Cole, Gene's brother, who sang a tribute to his brother. Eugene's former band, Borderline Express, opened the service with a performance of "American Soldier."
Tom Cole expressed his gratitude to the law enforcement officers who rallied around his family in the weeks since his brother's death. For David Cole, who lost both his father and his colleague, that solidarity helped him confront what he called the "nightmare" that began in the early hours of April 25.
That morning, "I told my mom my dad died," David Cole said, struggling to hold back his tears. "I watched the strongest woman I know break. I broke with her."
Cole's mother, Gloria Cole, who suffered a heart attack in the days following her son's death, was still in the hospital and not able to attend the funeral, her daughter, Sherryl Cole Sirois said.

After Brooks' remarks and benediction, and a final musical performance, Cole's casket was led outside for a "graveside" ceremony in the parking lot of the Cross Center. Cole's family intends to cremate his remains, a Smart & Edwards Funeral Home employee confirmed.

Officers stood quietly in the sunlight facing the family and Cole's widow, Sheryl, who sat and watched as officers escorted her husband's body to the hearse. Trumpeters performed Taps, and the American flag draping Cole's casked was folded and given to Sheryl.
A silence fell. Then, to the sound of bagpipes playing "Amazing Grace," five state law enforcement planes flew in formation overhead, drawing the gaze of the crowd toward the sky.

Q: Why in certain circumstances, updates from a thread are not visible although the update is made? I'm reading "Effective Java" and in the chapter where he's talking about threads, I stepped into this snippet:
private static int nextSerialNumber = 0;

public static int generateSerialNumber(){
    return nextSerialNumber++;
}

A bit later, talking that snippet but in case there is no synchronization, he says:

More surprisingly, it is possible for one thread to call
  generateSerialNumber repeatedly, obtaining a sequence of serial
  numbers from zero to n, after which another thread calls
  generateSerialNumber and obtains a serial number of zero. Without
  synchronization, the second thread might see none of the updates made
  by the first. This is a result of the aforementioned memory model
  issue.

I can't understand how this is possible.
For the thread to obtain "a sequence of serial numbers from zero to n", the increment must be done, otherwise the thread will read always the same value. If the increment is done, then the variable is set, because being an int, the writing is atomic.
So, if the static variable is changed by a thread, although it might be the same one, another thread must be able to read that value. So how is possible that another thread, calling generateSerialNumber, can obtain a serial number of zero?

A:
because being an int, the writing is atomic.

That just means it's not possible for another thread to see a half-updated value, it's either the old one or the new one (in 64-bit systems this extends to long variables).
It has nothing to do with the basic visibility problem meaning that unless your variable is volatile or you're using synchronization the value can and will be cached by different threads for performance purposes and you will see old cached values instead of up to date ones.
In addition, nextSerialNumber++; is not atomic as it consists of read-update-write steps, so making nextSerialNumber volatile won't fix this code. The method needs to be synchronized.

A: The current value of nextSerialNumber might be cached in a cache local to the core, and updates to that value might also be cached for a while until they are flushed to main memory. So when using multiple threads, scheduled on different cores, they might have their own local cached version of nextSerialNumber.
When not explicitly instructed, the code (and CPU) will assume it is fine to use this local cached version, and happily read and update the cached variable, while another thread scheduled on a different core will happily do the same with its own cached version.
When using concurrency primitives like synchronized and volatile, this changes. For a synchronized-block (simplified) the Java implementation will make sure those values will be retrieved from main memory when first read and  written back to main memory at the end of a synchronized block, it does the same for volatile variables, but then at each read and write.
In reality things are a bit more complicated, with happens-before relations between threads, etc. But basically, your question boils down to "blame caching".

Q: What is the writer trying to convey? "Although I cannot claim any experience or substantial knowledge in the area of language pedagogy, I do recognize how essential it is."
 And
"the applied, pedagogical side outstrips the theoretical side in terms of intrinsic importance, numbers of practitioners, and the securing of institutional tolerance. "
"I see the effectiveness of pedagogical applications as an important empirical test for linguistic theories. My suspicion is that, in the long run, cognitive grammar will not fare badly in this regard."

A:
Although I cannot claim any experience or substantial knowledge in the area of language pedagogy, I do recognize how essential it is.

Although I have no experience or knowledge of how language is taught, I recognize that the study of language teaching is important

the applied, pedagogical side outstrips the theoretical side in terms of intrinsic importance, numbers of practitioners, and the securing of institutional tolerance.

The application of teaching methods, and their study, is fundamentally more  important than theorizing. The number of people who study actual teaching methods is more than the number of people who study theories of teaching. Finally, universities or large organizations more readily accept the applied aspect (as opposed to the theoretical aspect) of teaching.

I see the effectiveness of pedagogical applications as an important empirical test for linguistic theories. My suspicion is that, in the long run, cognitive grammar will not fare badly in this regard

The study of teaching methods is important to generate actual, measurable data to test linguistic theories. I suspect that, in the long run, disciplines such as cognitive grammar would be strengthened by the data generated by these efforts

A:
I've never taught language arts, but I can tell that language does need to be taught.
When we compare the practice of teaching language to advances in language theory, teaching wins.  Its value is more obvious, there are more teachers than theorists, and teaching is the skill-set that schools want to support.
How well things work in the classroom is a good way to evaluate (competing) linguistic theories.  Cognitive grammar should (eventually) work very well in the classroom.


The tragic and untimely passing of R' Elias (Eli) Friedman OBM in Crown Heights at the young age of 48, from sudden cardiac arrest, a month shy of his first wedding anniversary and 4 days after the birth of his firstborn daughter, has touched the hearts of thousands of people.
Elias led a life of goodness and kindness, always first to help a fellow person, whether in his job as a Critical Care Paramedic for Senior Care, or volunteering with Chevra Hatzala of the Upper West Side, or in the Shuls he frequented. He was a beloved member of Cong. Ohav Sholom in the Upper West Side, and Young Israel of Pelham Parkway in the Bronx.
A $500,000 fund has been set up for the benefit of the young widow Rivka Friedman (daughter of Gershon and Nina Orenstein from Crown Heights), and newborn baby Malya Leah, to give them the chance to have a stable normal life.
Almost $75,000 have been raised from over 1,000 supporters, and the family is very thankful to all those who have already donated. However, this amount is only the beginning, and much more is needed.
The fund is administered by a board consisting of Rabbi Aaron Mehlman (Cong. Ohav Sholom – Upper West Side), Rabbi Yosef Orenstein (Woodcliff Lake, NJ), Rabbi Sholom Shuchat (Crown Heights) and Mrs. Devora Steigman (Flatbush).
BDE, this is terribly tragic, and My heart goes out to the family. May they be comforted by Hashem, and may they only experience joy and happiness here on!
I tried donating through the link and my cc was not being authorized. Is there another way to donate?
We have to do our part in assisting the widow. Don't jump all over me but please, stress the importance of life insurance. Term is cheap and not a luxury esp when having children. The community has an obligation to support widows and orphans but still men should never leave their family in desperate need.


tooth. Cavities are caused when sugars in the food you eat combine with the bacteria in your mouth. This combination produces a mild acid that eats away at the enamel, the hard outer layer of your tooth. Cavities can occur at any age, but most occur during childhood when dental hygiene may be less thorough. There is a genetic component to dental health, including teeth, gums, and the bone that holds the teeth. No matter how good your genes are, if you don't take good care of your teeth you may be prone to very serious consequences.
Babies tend to get cavities on the front teeth, especially if they are given a bottle to sleep with. Even milk contains sugar that can harm teeth. This is referred to as baby bottle tooth decay. Children tend to get cavities on the chewing surfaces as well as in-between teeth. Adults can be at risk for both new and recurrent cavities. New cavities tend to form between teeth as well as on the root surfaces. The cavities that form between teeth are typically related to a lack of flossing. Cavities on the root surfaces of teeth generally occur because this area is not covered with enamel and is softer and more prone to cavities. The exposed root may be the result of hard brushing or bone loss related to gum disease. Cavities that reoccur form next to existing restorations such as fillings, crowns, bridges, etc. As restorations get old, the filling material can shrink or wear away, causing the possibility of a small space forming between the tooth and the restoration. This provides a prime area for bacteria to accumulate and breed decay. Click the link to do an experiment with fluoride to see how it helps fight cavities.
There are many reasons why adult teeth may need restorative treatment. The most common reason is decay, followed by fractured teeth, and old restorations needing replacement. If we recommend that a tooth with a cavity be treated and more than a few weeks pass after the initial diagnosis, the cavity will almost always get bigger and can cause pain. Once this happens, it will likely require more extensive and expensive treatment. The tooth may even have to be removed and replaced with a false (or artificial) tooth.


Sometimes it seems like Chelsea galleries get all the attention, deservedly, perhaps, but there are plenty more enticing shows on view on the Upper East Side. If you're planning a visit to the ADAA Art Show on Park Avenue and 67th Street this weekend—and especially if you rarely make it this far north on your gallery expeditions—make it a point to get to these nearby shows while you're in the neighborhood.
Inspired by Theodore Géricault's 1819 La Radeau de la Méduse, Kippenberger's 1996 "The Raft of Medusa" series of paintings, drawings, photographs and mixed media works explores his conflicted relationship with art history. The show occupies three floors of Skarstedt's elegant townhouse gallery on 79th Street, steps away from the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Kippenberger's works in all media are not just masterfully executed they are deeply personal and affecting.
This is Hauser & Wirth's first exhibition of works by the Brazilian artist, widely considered one of the most significant Latin American artists of the 20th century. The show spans two decades of Schendel's career, from the 1960s to the 1980s, and follows a much-lauded exhibition at Tate Modern last fall. It was conceived and organized by private dealer Olivier Renaud-Clement. Works on view range from her pensive "monotypes" – drawings on Japanese rice paper that are encased in glass— to her masterpiece, Still Waves of Probability, first presented at the 10th Sao Paulo biennial in 1969. Reinstalled on the second level of the gallery, thousands of delicate nylon threads are suspended from the ceiling and reach to the floor. Lovely, in a word.
This exhibition, jointly presented by Dominique Lévy and Galerie Perrotin marks the first American exhibition in 50 years devoted to the work of seminal Postwar French artist Germaine Richier. There are more than forty sculptures on view, ranging from early torsos and figures to the imaginative hybrid creatures (humans crossed with bats, toads, spiders, and vegetal organisms) that brought her well-deserved international recognition. The show includes a selection of photographs by her contemporary Brassaï, who documented the "magical chaos" of her studio.

Though separated by a generation, both of these pioneering artists used the power of the everyday to show the darker side of American culture and society. The show connects Arbus's "unflinching photographs" of the 1960s and 70s with Noland's "disjunctive sculptures and installations" from the 1980s and 1990s that explore a purported decline of moral values in American life.
The lack of a thematic or single artist focus shouldn't prevent anyone from enjoying this mini-survey of blue-chip artists up for sale, including works by Joan Miró, Fernand Léger, Alexander Calder, Rene Magritte, Jean Dubuffet, Franciso Bacon, Henri Matisse, and more.
Another group show, this time with paintings, drawings and sculptures united by their monochromatic palette and spanning six decades of Postwar American and European art. Come spot the influences: for instance, Andy Warhol's Flowers are echoed in a Christopher Wool painting; a monumental Concentric Square painting by Frank Stella echoes a large Donald Judd stack, or is it vice versa; and the surface in Alberto Burri's Cretto finds its counterpoint in the crumbled asphalt bed of a David Hammons' Basketball Drawing. The show also features works by Alexander Calder, Philip Guston, Simon Hantaï, Conrad Marca-Relli, Robert Ryman, Cy Twombly, and Günther Uecker.
Helen Frankenthaler was widely known as a second-generation Abstract Expressionist but her innovative technique of staining pigment into raw canvas sparked an influential movement in the 20th century and helped her become one of the most revered artists of her generation. Here, the gallery presents three large paintings from the 1980s and four ceramic tile paintings, all titled Thanksgiving Day, that were part of a group of works she created in 1973 on a visit to a ceramic studio in upstate New York.
DeVinne (1828-1914), a founding member of the cultist Grolier Club, is considered one of the most important American figures of the 19th century book world. He was responsible for pretty much all of the important Grolier works published during his lifetime. The exhibition includes more than 150 books, manuscripts, letters, photographs and other objects exploring his life.

CRIMES OF RUSSIANS
Ukrainian writer Volodymyr Vakulenko was killed by the russian occupiers
You see an error in the text - select the fragment and press Ctrl + Enter
Writer Volodymyr Vakulenko was killed in the Kharkiv region during the occupation, reported by Suspilne.
Photo evidence and the results of a DNA examination testify to the murder.
After the Ukrainian army liberated occupied Izium, mass burials were discovered in the city. As of the beginning of September, more than four hundred bodies were found there. Burials were carried out by the local funeral service, which also kept a register with information about the deceased. In this register the writer's data was indicated under the number 319.
At first, the law enforcement officers denied the information that Volodymyr Vakulenko was buried in this grave. On October 20, on the air of the national telethon United News, the spokesman of the prosecutor's office of the Kharkiv region made a statement that they discovered the body of an unknown woman at number 319.
At the same time, journalists of Suspilne found a photo of body number 319 taken before the burial. There you can see the shot through documents of Volodymyr Vakulenko and a tattoo on the arm, similar to what the writer had.
