Barcelona coach Koeman praises Puig bottle for decisive shootout spotkick
Barcelona coach Ronald Koeman praised Riqui Puig for scoring the decisive penalty in their Supercopa de Espana semifinal shootout victory over Real Sociedad.
Puig came forward and volunteered to take Barcelona's fifth penalty in their shootout win over Real Sociedad on Wednesday evening, much to coach Ronald Koeman's delight.
The youngster scored the decisive spot kick to give the Catalans a 3-2 shootout win to book their place in the Supercopa de Espana final, with the game having finished 1-1 after 120 minutes.
"I had four names on my sheet," Koeman said after the game. "I asked who wanted to take the fifth and Riqui said 'I will'.
"He did very well."
Frenkie de Jong opened the scoring on the night with another goal, fulfilling Koeman's wishes to see him more involved in the final third.
"I've said a lot the the midfielders have to arrive in the box," Koeman added. "He's on the right track."

"NAHB commends President Trump for taking action that would ease restrictions on association health plans and health reimbursement accounts to create more options for small businesses to provide health benefits to their employees. His executive order would empower home building firms such as my own and countless other small businesses to pool together through association health plans to purchase health insurance. This would put small businesses on an equal footing with large employers and unions when it comes to negotiating lower insurance rates.


Information Sciences is focused on gaining a greater understanding of emerging technology opportunities that support intelligent information systems that perform acquisition, analysis, reasoning, decision-making, collaborative communication, and assurance of information and knowledge through Sensing and Effecting, System Intelligence and Intelligent Systems, Human and Information Interaction, Networks and Communications, and Cyber Security.
MISSION: To discover, innovate, and transition S&T capabilities that (1) facilitate the availability and effective use of high assurance and high quality information and knowledge at the tactical edge in a timely manner; and (2) facilitate the development of offensive information systems to limit adversary command-and-control capabilities.
VISION: Intelligent information systems available to the Army of 2030 provide reliable, timely, valuable, and trustworthy information and knowledge at the most appropriate force echelon, especially to the tactical edge - significantly mitigating tactical surprise. Army offensive information systems significantly limit the adversary's command-and-control capabilities. Intelligent information systems support and team with the force, forming an underlying socio-technical base for all things in the battlespace, from munitions targeting to maneuver to command-and-control. The desired end state is to leverage the range of S&T enablers to prepare forces to succeed in distributed operations and increasingly complex environments where information plays an ever increasing role.
The Information Sciences Campaign is strongly supported by these foundational pillars and key enablers to provide a flexible, adaptive, and Army-relevant approach which is geared towards addressing S&T challenges to Army information supremacy. The emphasis areas include Sensing and Effecting; System Intelligence and Intelligent Systems; Human and Information Interaction; Networks and Communications; and Cyber Security.
Sensing and Effecting research concentrates on understanding and exploiting information gained through sensing and exploiting data to drive effectors. Both sensing and effecting necessitate detailed understanding of corresponding physical behaviors that generate and utilize data, as well as effective means for storage, retrieval, and manipulation of data.
System Intelligence and Intelligent Systems research concentrates on understanding and exploiting interactions between information and intelligent systems, such as robots and software agents, wherein information is transformed between different levels of abstraction and roles within the intelligent system's cognitive processes - recognition, reasoning, predictions, and decision-making.
Human and Information Interaction research concentrates on understanding and exploiting interactions between information and humans, which involves complex mixed-initiative processes of information acquisition, transformation between levels of abstraction and relevance, comprehension, negotiation, and interactive tasking - mutually between humans and Army information systems.
Networks and Communications research concentrates on understanding and exploiting information's interactions with socio-technical networks, particularly communications, and command and control networks, both formal and social. Such interactions are heavily influenced by complex channels and protocols requiring complex analyses to understand and predict emergent behaviors of networks.
Cyber Security research concentrates on understanding and exploiting interactions of information with cyber attackers - human and/or intelligent agents. These interactions involve friendly operations against adversary information systems and networks, defense of friendly information systems and networks, and assurance of persistent information support to Soldiers even when parts of the friendly systems and networks are compromised.

HomeComputeIt's About Time For Time Series Databases
It's About Time For Time Series Databases
January 25, 2018 Timothy Prickett Morgan Compute, Enterprise, Store 5
To get straight to the point: nobody wants to have large grain snapshots of data for any dataset that is actually comprised of a continuous stream of data points. With the data storage and stream processing now so cost-effective (relatively speaking, of course) that anybody can do it – not just national security agencies or hedge funds and brokerages with big budgets – there is pent up demand for a SQL-friendly time series database.
So that is what the founders of Timescale set out to create. And while they are by no means alone in this market, the open source TimescaleDB that they let loose on the world last summer is getting traction and on the rise, in part because of the growing popularity of the PostgreSQL database engine that it overlays with time series capabilities and enhanced scalability.
The hyperscalers have had databases that, to varying degrees, offer time series data storage and analysis as well as SQL capabilities and ACID properties, the most notable ones being the Spanner database from Google and its open source clone, CockroachDB. There are dozens of time series databases out there, the majority of which are listed or commented on here, and the kdb+ database from Kx Systems is probably the most widely used commercial time series database installed, particularly within the trading systems of financial services firms. The kdb+ database is popular because of its wickedly fast performance, for which companies pay a premium, and Timescale is not trying to take on Kx Systems directly in this core market. In fact, company co-founders Ajay Kulkarni and Mike Freedman, who were roommates at MIT two decades ago before their paths diverged and then reconverged, tell The Next Platform that they were aiming the TimescaleDB database at machine-to-machine applications but have seen early adopters use it in a number of more traditional applications, where enterprises have added time series data to traditional databases like Oracle's eponymous database or Microsoft SQL Server or are replacing scale out clusters running the open source Redis, Cassandra, or Riak key-value stores or their commercial variants.
Both Kulkarni, who is Timescale's CEO, and Freedman, who is the CTO, are serial entrepreneurs, but Freedman is notable in that he was on the Stanford University team that created the Ethane programmable network architecture that resulted in the OpenFlow software defined networking protocol that has been commercialized in various forms; he also created the CoralCDN decentralized content management system that was popular in the early days of the Web in the early 2000s, and has been a professor of computer science at Princeton University since 2007 as his other day job.
The two Timescale founders believe, like the rest of us, that computing comes in waves, starting with mainframes and then Unix systems and then X86 servers in the datacenter and PCs and laptops and smartphones on the desktop or in our hands, and with every leap in technology, the computers get more powerful and more useful and they generate and process more data.
"It used to be a PC on every desktop, and then a smartphone in every pocket, and now we are entering a new phase where there is a computer in every thing, whether it is our vehicles or manufacturing lines, power plants, homes, and even our bodies," explains Kulkarni. "We have gotten to this point where we are living with all of these machines, and businesses are swimming in machine data. The key insight we had is that no database was ready for this challenge."
The natural question here is: Why not? There are plenty of time series databases (or extensions to them) in the market, as we pointed out above. But it turns out that machine data is unique in that it is generated at very high volumes and it also needs to be analyzed in complex ways and usually very quickly and generally very reliably. (The eventual consistency of NoSQL datastores like Cassandra does not pass the ACID test of relational databases, which enterprises are used to.) It is one thing to use a database for consumer mobile apps, but quite another to use one to monitor and manage a nuclear power plant.
"Back in 2014, when we started, developers have essentially two choices," Kulkarni continues. "They could use relational databases with SQL interfaces, which are easy to use but they don't scale well. Or they could use NoSQL databases that scale well but were not as reliable and are harder to use. The choice between reliability and scalability was a terrible choice, and we also realized that machine data, for them most part, was time series data. It is a timestamp, some data, and some metadata around the measurement of the device."
With Timescale, the idea is to reverse that terrible choice and get the reliability and SQL interface of a relational database with the speed and scalability of a NoSQL database. The important thing is that most time series data is immutable and is appended to the existing data – you don't change it and it is tacked on in the order that events happen. This is distinct from relational databases that do online transaction processing, where rows in databases are updated as the transactions are run and more or less randomly; taking an order for an existing customer, for instance, updates the customer table to add items purchased and also updates the inventory table to show that they are no longer available for sale.
Instead of building this time series database from scratch, Timescale created an overlay on top of PostgreSQL database engine, leaving the backend engine that stores information on disks the same and allowing for all of the tools that speak to PostgreSQL to keep doing what they are doing. To be more technical, Timescale takes over the front end of the engine, taking in a query and rewrite it, doing its own query planning and execution against that engine, which is tweaked to support an abstraction layer that Timescale calls a hypertable. (This is in contrast with the MySQL open source relational database, which has a thin compatibility layer that sits on top of many different styles of storage engines.)
The hypertable shards data into chunks, and the chunk size is set either by the database or manually to provide good performance for transactions. The chunks are carved into the data stream based on time interval and by other columns stored in each chunk – tick data for stocks, customer location for Uber, closest cell tower for an iPhone – and each server node can have a hypertable abstracting across tens of thousands of chunks that are spread across many disk or flash drives to scale out capacity. The indexes for the chunks are stored in memory for fast scanning, and Timescale has come up with what it calls "aggressive" low level distributed query optimizations to limit the number of chunks accessed to answer a query and therefore boost performance.
"We don't muck around with how the data is stored on disk, and therefore we inherit all of the reliability of PostgreSQL," explains Freedman. "We also enforce the same PostgreSQL interface, so all of the tooling for this database works with TimescaleDB. The part is in the middle is that we have figured out how to scale PostgreSQL for time series data, and we are 20X faster at inserts than PostgreSQL. And we are 10X faster than Cassandra, and unlike Cassandra, we also support full SQL."
This is a neat trick, and that, in part, explains how TimescaleDB is a rising star on GitHub and why the database has been downloaded over 100,000 times since it was launched last April and rolled out over the summer.
At the moment, TimescaleDB is an example of what we call a scale in product, meaning that it can replace either a big scale up system, like a NUMA machine, or scale out system, like a cluster of distributed systems sharing work in a looser fashion, without needing to scale beyond a single node. At the moment, TimescaleDB is being used for fairly modest workloads, replacing systems that might have a dozen or so nodes running Cassandra or Redis with a single server that has JBODs and JBOFs for disk and flash scalability in those nodes. On such machines, the queries on time series data on a single node of TimescaleDB are running anywhere from 10X to 50X faster than on the modestly sized Redis and Cassandra clusters, and inserts of new data are around 10X faster. In the next year or so, Timescale will have a scale out version of its own for those who have larger workloads.
"Our initial goal is not to build the kind of scale that Google needs," says Freedman. "But we certainly want to scale out to ten, twenty, or forty nodes with sustained performance of millions of inserts per second and petabyte scale storage."
The current product supports around 100 TB of time series data on a single node, with more than 10 billion rows of data, and it can do between 100,000 and 200,000 inserts per second. The software allows for the elastic attachment of additional storage on a single server node, which means it does not have to be brought down to add capacity. The database is supported on Linux, Windows Server, and MacOS platforms, although there are no real commercial MacOS servers so it almost doesn't count. (Pity, that.)
Here is how TimescaleDB stacks up against the real PostgreSQL 10 database with inserts on a single row:
And here is how it looks against PostgreSQL with 1,000 rows:
The TimescaleDB software is available with an Apache 2.0 license as an open source package that includes the PostgreSQL engine. Timescale is crafting an enterprise version, which has additional governance and security features and that will likely also include the scale out extensions when they become available. Pricing has not been set yet, but it is fairly likely that the cost will be per node and fall somewhere between generic Hadoop storage and the Oracle database. (Yes, that was meant to be funny in that this is anywhere from thousands to many hundreds of thousands of dollars per node.)
Now that things are humming along, Timescale's founders are copping to the fact that they had already raised $3.7 million in seed funding, including investments from Spender Kimball, one of the founders of Cockroach Labs, and Rob Bearden, the CEO at Hadoop distributor Hortonworks and who used to run the SpringSource and JBoss businesses before they were sold to VMware and Red Hat, respectively. And just now, Timescale has raised $12.4 million in Series A funding, which was by Benchmark with participation from New Enterprise Associates and Two Sigma Ventures. So that is a tidy $16.1 million to help get that scale out version of TimescaleDB done and to scale up the marketing, sales, and technical staff.

Hm. Very interesting. Having ACID and SQL engine should mean you do not have distributed insert/update. Which mean you should have near similar speed that have TSDBs on top of NoSQL
Michael Rosenthal says:
"They part is in the middle is that we have figured out how to scale PostgreSQL for time series data" Looks like a typo

Men's Lacrosse wins Battle of Long Island duel against Hofstra
Ryan Magill February 27, 2020 February 28, 2020
Senior attacker Cory VanGinhoven against Brown on Feb. 22. VanGinhoven had a hat trick against the Hofstra Pride on Tuesday, Feb. 25. EMMA HARRIS/THE STATESMAN
The wins just keep coming at home for the Stony Brook's men's lacrosse team. The Seawolves scored yet another victory, helping extend their unbeaten home streak to three after defeating the Hofstra Pride at Kenneth P. LaValle Stadium by a score of 14-11 on Tuesday, Feb. 25 to move to 3-1.
While Stony Brook opened the night up with a goal from senior attacker Chris Pickel Jr., it was Hofstra who took the early lead with a three-goal run to put the Pride up 5-4 at the end of the first quarter.
Despite facing an early deficit, the Seawolves' consistency was the key. Senior attacker Cory VanGinhoven recorded a hat trick midway through the second quarter as Stony Brook climbed ahead of Hofstra with a goal from senior midfielder Harrison Matsukoa at the end of the first half.
"I was just trying to get them on cage when I was shooting," VanGinhoven said in a press release. "And then I was just keeping my head up when I was dodging and finding the open guy."
While Hofstra would tie it up early in the third quarter, Stony Brook redshirt junior midfielder Wayne White's second goal of the game would put the Seawolves up for the remainder of the game. Stony Brook beat Hofstra out in shots on goal (29-27), saves (senior goalkeeper Michael Bollinger saved one more shot than Hofstra redshirt-junior goalkeeper Bobby Casey), and faceoffs (16-12).
In all, 11 different players scored goals for the Seawolves and head coach Anthony Gilardi was more than content with that.
"We're an unselfish team," Gilardi said in a press release. "We preached that from Day 1."
The geographic rivalry between the Hofstra Pride and the Stony Brook Seawolves is not one to be underestimated if you listen to the Seawolves' players and coaches.
"It was a quick turnaround, a rivalry game and two great Long Island teams battling," Gilardi said. "I told the guys we needed great energy, effort and toughness. The guys did it from the first play until the last play. I loved their effort. The guys gave us everything they had the entire game."
VanGinhoven also reinforced the importance of the Long Island duel.
"We had a lot of energy going into this one being that it was a rivalry game."
The Seawolves will now leave the Island to take on the Rutgers Scarlet Knights in SHI Stadium on Saturday, Feb. 29 at noon in Piscataway, New Jersey. However, as far as the team is concerned, Long Island's territory belongs strictly to them.
"We took down St. John's. We took down Hofstra. We're pretty much Long Island's team now," VanGinhoven said.

Q: JPA to GET a joined entity returns a recursive fetch loop I have a problem with a @Get method. I have an entity ServcieChargeTier which has a @OneToMany relationship with the entity CalendarEntry.
The problem is when I try and get a ServiceChargeTier from the server, the server returns a recursive loop of the ServiceChargeTier, which has CalendarEntries, which each has a ServiceChargeTier associated, which has the CalendarEntries and so on.
I would like to return the CalendarEntry's but not the associated ServiceChargeTier for each CalendarEntry.
ServiceChargeTier Mapping:
public class ServiceChargeTier {

...

@OneToMany(mappedBy = "associatedServiceChargeTier", fetch=FetchType.LAZY, cascade = CascadeType.ALL)
private List<CalendarEntry> calendarEntries = new ArrayList<>();

...
}

CalendarEntry Mapping:
public class CalendarEntry {

...

@ManyToOne(fetch=FetchType.LAZY)
@JoinColumn(name = "service_charge_tier_id")
private ServiceChargeTier associatedServiceChargeTier;

...
}

When I make a request to get a ServiceChargeTier it returns a JSON like this:
[{"id":40629,"calendarEntries":[{"id":40630,"associatedServiceChargeTier":{"id":40629,"calendarEntries":[{"id":40630,"associatedServiceChargeTier":{"id":40629,"calendarEntries":[{"id":40630,"associatedServiceChargeTier":{"id":40629,"calendarEntries":[{"id":40630,"associatedServiceChargeTier":{"id":40629,"calendarEntries":[{"id":40630,"associatedServiceChargeTier":{"id":40629,"calendarEntries":[{"id":40630,"associatedServiceChargeTier":{"id":40629,"calendarEntries":[{"id":40630,"associatedServiceChargeTier":{"id":40629,"calendarEntries":[{"id":40630,"associatedServiceChargeTier":{"id":40629,"calendarEntries":[{"id":40630,"associatedServiceChargeTier":{"id":40629,"calendarEntries":[{"id":40630,"associatedServiceChargeTier":{"id":40629,"calendarEntries":[{"id":40630,"associatedServiceChargeTier":{"id":40629,"calendarEntries":[{"id":40630,"associatedServiceChargeTier":{"id":40629,"calendarEntries":[{"id":40630,"associatedServiceChargeTier":{"id":40629,"calendarEntries":[{"id":40630,"associatedServiceChargeTier":{"id":40629,"calendarEntries":[{"id":40630,"associatedServiceChargeTier":{"id":40629,"calendarEntries":[{"id":40630,"associatedServiceChargeTier":{"id":40629,"calendarEntries":[{"id":40630,"associatedServiceChargeTier":{"id":40629,"calendarEntries":[{"id":40630,"associatedServiceChargeTier":{"id":40629,"calendarEntries":[{"id":40630,"associatedServiceChargeTier":{"id":40629,"calendarEntries":[{"id":40630,"associatedServiceChargeTier":{"id":40629,"calendarEntries":[{"id":40630,"associatedServiceChargeTier":{"id":40629,"calendarEntries":[{"id":40630,"associatedServiceChargeTier":{"id":40629,"calendarEntries":[{"id":40630,"associatedServiceChargeTier":{"id":40629,"calendarEntries":[{"id":40630,"associatedServiceChargeTier":{"id":40629,"calendarEntries":[{"id":40630,"associatedServiceChargeTier":{"id":40629,"calendarEntries":[{"id":40630,"associatedServiceChargeTier":{"id":40629,"calendarEntries":[{"id":40630,"associatedServiceChargeTier":{"id":40629,"calendarEntries":[{"id":40630,"associatedServiceChargeTier":{"id":40629,"calendarEntries":[{"id":40630,"associatedServiceChargeTier":{"id":40629,"calendarEntries":[{"id":40630,"associatedServiceChargeTier":{"id":40629,"calendarEntries":[{"id":40630,"associatedServiceChargeTier":{"id":40629,"calendarEntries":[{"id":40630,"associatedServiceChargeTier":{"id":40629,"calendarEntries":[{"id":40630,"associatedServiceChargeTier":{"id":40629,"calendarEntries":[{"id":40630,"associatedServiceChargeTier":

Quick science experiments are easy to come by, and can be just as interesting as complex and time-consuming task available. It is simply a matter of finding a quick science experiment that interests you.
Think of a question you would like answered and put it into action. An example of a simple test would be to see what type of water will more ants, sugar water, salt water or plain old tap water. It's just a matter of collecting a few ants, mix the water and lay it out for them to see that they prefer.
Other attempts quick science may be able to get a few different colored markers, a piece of paper and write the names of some colors, a different color than the actual color you are writing. For example, you could write the word red and green color signals. After you have a list of colors written down you can test your friends and family to see if they are able to say the word you have written down or if they say the color of printed.
This is a classic left brain – right brain conflict. The right half of the brain is trying to tell the color, and the left side of the brain is trying to say the word. See how many of your friends and family can get it right. A science experiment need not be time-consuming to be successful, it just has to be interesting to you and show the answer to your question.

Here is my Bootcamp update for the week.
Tax prep. Seriously. No, I mean it.
Buy books with the BN gift card I got for my birthday (this should be easy).
Get back on track with reading and writing every day.
Continue 4:30 am writing time.
Finish the first draft of KEYS by Sunday, March 30.
Put together a preliminary itinerary for the North Shore Writing Retreat.
I accomplished all of these things - some of them more thoroughly than others.
I opened up the documents from our accountant and my husband called her office to find out the drop dead date that we have to bring them our tax materials. I call that a win. We have a goal to have everything to her office by Wednesday.
My book purchase for the week was one that I've been anxiously awaiting: THE STRANGE AND BEAUTIFUL SORROWS OF AVA LAVENDER by Leslye Walton.
From Goodreads: Magical realism, lyrical prose, and the pain and passion of human love haunt this hypnotic generational saga. I can hardly contain my excitement. I am going to savor this book.
It took a couple of days, but I did get back on track with my daily habits of reading and writing. I finished MAYBE ONE DAY by Melissa Kantor last night. While I wasn't all-out sobbing, my eyes leaked a bit. Beautiful story.
I wrote three mornings at 4:30 am and on the days I didn't, felt like something was missing. I'm going to shoot for four weekdays this week and five next week. I love #5amwritersclub!
I emailed a preliminary itinerary and tentative dates to my North Shore Writers Retreat friends. Looks like we'll be visiting in October, which means chilly temps but also campfires and pumpkin beer.
And, finally, I FINISHED MY FIRST DRAFT OF KEYS.
It feels so good to say that. I'm going to take a one-day break before I hit revisions/reconstructive surgery.
Here's my playlist for KEYS, which I've listened to about one million times while writing this thing.
Tax materials to accountant by Wednesday, April 2.
Begin revisions on KEYS, specifically a thorough read-thru and scene-by-scene spreadsheet. Because the last chapter of the book ended on page 93 of 255, and the only chronological pages are 1-30, this promises to be a lot of work and I feel like a spreadsheet might help me out.
4:30 am writing hours Tuesday through Friday.
Twitter writing parties with Team Defiance. My teammates totally rock.
Read every day; write every day but Monday.
That's it for this week - hope your Bootcamp week went well!
Congrats on your goals! That's huge to finish a draft. I commend you for getting up that early to write, I am NOT a morning person. But I do understand that need to have a schedule adapted for writing.
Congrats on finishing KEYS!! That's so exciting. I hope to be in the same boat a month from today. :) Good for you for waking up so early to write. I've also been waking up earlier - just not early enough for #5amwritersclub. I've been getting up between 6-6:30 and writing until 7:30, when I have to get ready for work. It really does feel good to start the day writing!
WOO congrats on finishing your draft!!!
YAY FOR FINISHING YOUR DRAFT!!! So excited for you, Sara! You definitely deserve to sit back and enjoy that book, which sounds lovely. And the cover -- gorgeous! Have a wonderful week, lady!

"Schizogeny" is the ninth episode of the fifth season of the science fiction television series The X-Files. It premiered on the Fox network on January 11, 1998. It was written by Jessica Scott and Mike Wollaeger, directed by Ralph Hemecker, and featured guest appearances by Bob Dawson, Myles Ferguson, Katharine Isabelle, Chad Lindberg, and Sarah-Jane Redmond. The episode is a "Monster-of-the-Week" story, unconnected to the series' wider mythology. "Schizogeny" earned a Nielsen household rating of 12.9, being watched by 21.37 million people in its initial broadcast. The episode received mixed to negative reviews, with several critics calling it the worst episode of The X-Files.

The show centers on FBI special agents Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) and Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) who work on cases linked to the paranormal, called X-Files. Mulder is a believer in the paranormal, while the skeptical Scully has been assigned to debunk his work. In this episode, Mulder and Scully become convinced that a greater evil may be lurking in the community when a teenager is suspected of murdering his stepfather.

"Schizogeny", written by first-year staff writers Scott and Wollaeger, became humorously known as "The Killer Tree Episode" amongst the cast and crew. Many of the scenes shot for "Schizogeny" were filmed on a real orchard named Hazelgrove Farms near the small town of Fort Langley, British Columbia. The episode utilized various post-production techniques, in order to clear up vocal issues and to censor one line, which Fox's standards and practices department had issues with.

Plot
In Coats Grove, Michigan, a teenager with anger management issues named Bobby Rich gets into an argument with his stepfather Phil about yard work. Bobby eventually darts into a nearby orchard to evade Phil, but the latter gives chase. Later, Bobby's mother Patti enters into the orchard and finds Phil dead, his body almost entirely buried in a mud puddle. A terrified Bobby is next to the body.

Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) and Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) investigate the crime. Scully believes that Bobby killed his stepdad by luring him into a pit trap. Patti repudiates this hypothesis, arguing that when she arrived it looked like Bobby was trying to help Phil rather than harm him. Mulder and Scully meet with Bobby's therapist, Karin Matthews, who tells them that the boy has been physically abused. Despite the evidence to the contrary, Mulder begins to believe that Bobby is innocent.

Bobby meets up with his classmate Lisa Baiocchi. Just like Bobby, Lisa attends therapy sessions with Matthews as her father Eugene is abusive, Bobby tells Lisa that she should not take any more abuse from Eugene. When Lisa returns home her father angrily tells her to stop seeing Bobby. Suddenly a mysterious arm-like appendage bursts through the window and yanks him outside. The next day Scully examines the body and concludes that he was pushed out of the window. Mulder however, thinks he was pulled.

While examining Eugene's corpse Mulder finds a splinter in his neck, the wood of which matches the trees outside his house. While they continue to investigate the crime Mulder and Scully are approached by a mysterious man (George Josef) who claims that a "bad man" is killing the area's trees. While this is happening, Matthews takes Lisa to her house claiming that she is protecting her. After Lisa overhears Matthews arguing with a man she journeys into Matthews' root cellar where she finds a corpse. When she tries to leave she finds she has been locked in.

Mulder later discovers that Matthews' father was retrieved from a mud puddle twenty years before the events of the episode. He begins to suspect her of wrongdoing  suspicion that is furthered after he digs up her father's empty coffin. Later the mysterious man from earlier tells Mulder that Matthews' father's death ended a blight that had been killing trees in the town.

Lisa's aunt journeys to Matthews' house to retrieve her niece, but is killed by Matthews who is revealed to have a split personality engendered by abuse from her own father. This has also given her power to control the trees in the area. Mulder and Scully later search Matthews' house and find the mysterious corpse in the basement  who they realize is the body of Matthews's father  as well as an unharmed Lisa. Meanwhile, Matthews goes to Bobby's house and chases him into the orchard. The agents show up soon thereafter and both Mulder and Bobby are nearly drowned in mud. The mysterious man suddenly appears and cuts Matthews' head off with an axe, ending her power over the trees.

Production

Conception and writing
"Schizogeny" was written by Jessica Scott and Mike Wollaegertheir first for the series. Due to it being Scot and Wollaeger's first episode, "Schizogeny" took a long time to write and, according to executive producer Frank Spotnitz, "went through many, many incarnations and versions." Due to the episode's plot and setting, it became sardonically known as "The Killer Tree Episode" among the cast and crew. The episode's title is a biological term for the creation of cavities by separating out existing cells.

Casting

Katharine Isabelle, who portrayed Lisa Baiocchi, was the daughter of Graeme Murray, the production designer for The X-Files. Kate Robbins, who played Lisa's aunt Linda, had previously appeared in the third season episode "D.P.O." Chad Lindberg was cast as Bobby Rich, and when the episode was being edited, there was worry that his delivery was not pronounced enough, so many of his lines were later dubbed in a studio. David Duchovny, too, was required to overdub a line: during the scene in which Mulder tells Scully Bobby's nickname, Duchovny originally said "Dickweed". Fox's standards and practices department objected to the term and made the show change the name to "Dorkweed".

Set and score
While much of "Schizogeny" was filmed on a real orchard named Hazelgrove Farms near Fort Langley, British Columbia, the sinking mud scenes were shot on a soundstage at Lion's Gate Studios that was fitted with over 200 hazelnut trees. The mud pit was made out of a large tank filled with soil, Sphagnum moss, and water. The mixture was heated so that the actors would not be cold while filming. The shot that called for Karin Matthews' lifeless body to sink into the mud required a stunt woman to be slowly lowered into the pit, which necessitated the crew supplying her with oxygen, given how deep the tank was. Toby Lindala and his art department created all of the props used in the episode, including the moving tree roots and the corpse of Karin Matthews' father.

Several of the shooting locations were chosen because of their proximity to large trees. Lisa's house, for instance, was next to a large willow, which was fitted with a fake tree limb twenty feet long to give it a more menacing feel. The tree limb that attacks Mulder's car was a branch from a tree that had broken off and fallen on government land. The producers secured permission from the Canadian government to retrieve the branch, and then hoisted it into the air before dropping it onto a retired police car. After the stunt, Nigel Habgood, the series' car coordinator, refurbished the car and it was later re-used in the episode "Kill Switch."

Mark Snow, composer for the series, was particularly proud of the music he wrote for the episode, which he felt "complement[ed]" the "dark ... wonderful aura" of the episode. He credits the ominous feel of his final soundtrack to his use of synthesized woodwind instruments.

Broadcast and reception

"Schizogeny" premiered on the Fox network on January 11, 1998. This episode earned a Nielsen rating of 12.9, with a 19 share, meaning that roughly 12.9 percent of all television-equipped households, and 19 percent of households watching television, were tuned in to the episode. It was viewed by 21.37 million viewers.

The episode received mixed to negative reviews from critics, with several reviewers dubbing it one of the worst episodes of the series. Francis Dass of the New Straits Times Press referred to it as "one of the weaker episodes" of the fifth season. The A.V. Club reviewer Emily St. James gave "Schizogeny" a D−, and wrote that "'Schizogeny' just might be the very worst episode of The X-Files", noting that "the tone [of the episode] is off." Furthermore, St. James felt that "the more Scott and Wollaeger try to continue explaining this and tie it into the idea of child abuse, the less it attains any of the power or tragedy they want it to have." Starpulse, in a run-down of the best and worst episodes and villains of the series, named the killer trees the worst monster-of-the-week and wrote, "[Schizogeny] proved that even the X-Files writers can come up completely dry on their scary creeps sometimes."

Robert Shearman and Lars Pearson, in their book Wanting to Believe: A Critical Guide to The X-Files, Millennium & The Lone Gunmen, rated the episode three-and-a-half stars out of five.  The two wrote positively of the first part of the episode noting that "director Ralph Hemecker [brings] the eeriness to the fore, and [makes] this a more honest-to-truth scary slice of X-File than has been offered in ages." Shearman and Pearson, however, argued that the episode's references to Psycho and its "lack of explanation" result in the episode approaching "nonsense." Paula Vitaris from Cinefantastique gave the episode a mixed review and awarded it two stars out of four. She wrote, "The plot of 'Schizogeny' is more tangled than the episode's paranormal root system, but underneath lies some powerful themes."

The claim was made by Samantha Markle, Meghan's half-sister, who has also criticised the Duchess. It follows the release of a handwritten note Meghan sent her father last August. Just three months earlier, Mr Markle had pulled out of his daughter's wedding due to health complaints, following a row over staging paparazzi photographs.
Shortly after the paparazzi row, Mr Markle said he was unable to attend the wedding after suffering a heart attack.
He later described his daughter as "demanding" and went on to say the Royal family are "like scientologists" because of their alleged secrecy.
In August, Meghan wrote to her Meghan's father to stop his attacks.
In the letter she said: "Your actions have broken my heart into a million pieces.
"You have manufactured such unnecessary and unwarranted paid.
Meghan wedded Prince Harry in May 2018 in Windsor Castle.
Later that year, in October, Meghan announced she was pregnant with her first child.
In the letter Meghan added: "So to hear about the attacks you've made at Harry in the press, who was nothing but patient, kind, and understanding with you, is perhaps the most painful of all.

Today we'd like to introduce you to Elliot Page.
Thanks for sharing your story with us Elliot. So, let's start at the beginning and we can move on from there.
While we are now nestled amongst Newbury Street's shops and restaurants, right above the iconic Newbury Comics, I've operated Page Music Lessons in this musical corner of the Back Bay for almost 15 years.
As a kid, I was mesmerized by The Beatles' White Album, and then turned to the classic rock radio station, developing a healthy love for the mighty Zep. After brief turns through drum and saxophone lessons, I settled on guitar, eventually adding vocals. Being in a band seemed like the coolest thing I could do, and after a thrilling rendition (at least for me!) of "Rock You Like a Hurricane" at an 8th grade talent show, I never looked back. Having played in rock and jazz bands throughout high school and as a music major at Colorado College, I continue to record and perform throughout the Northeast (Vic Firecracker, Elliot Page Band, Zyrah's Orange, Ben Thibault Band).
With both parents being college professors, sharing my love of music through teaching was inevitable. Starting in my teens as a private guitar teacher, I developed a large roster of students and founded my own company, starting with a sublet on Boylston St., followed by a space on Mass Ave, and now at 334 Newbury. With the hope of helping students enjoy music as much as I do, I have focused on attracting experienced, pro instructors for all instruments and voice. Now with a staff of about 25 part-time instructors, I still keep a hand in teaching, running our Jam Night program where adult students learn to play blues, rock and jazz standards in a band setting.
It hasn't always been the smoothest of roads, or city streets.
An overall challenge that I believe effects most small businesses is that you have to keep the proverbial wheels turnin'. While that next big idea seems super exciting, you have to keep the day-to-day stuff happening, and it's often time-consuming. It can be frustrating to not get to the next big thing, or to not grow faster, or whatever your next goal is.
Another challenge is dealing with the world of commercial leases and available space in the Back Bay. Our first move was somewhat voluntary, but our second move was required as the building at 93 Mass Ave was to be gutted to the studs (now Room and Board). I spent countless hours researching, viewing, negotiating, and finally outfitting our current space on Newbury. Related to that is dealing with the city's property tax hikes, which after years of gradual/expected increases, suddenly doubled in much of the Back Bay, and helped to put many small businesses and restaurants out of business.
There was the Great Recession. Not that fun, but we persevered!
Lastly, personal issues can be distracting, like say, divorce. For all you young lovebirds out there – get a prenup!
Please tell us about Page Music Lessons.
Page Music Lessons is the premiere private music school in Boston's Back Bay, offering exceptional private lesson instruction supplemented by jam sessions, workshops, and recitals – for all ability levels, including beginners.
We are a little different from your stereotypical lesson studio in that we enroll up to 75% adult students. While we just won a 2016 Best of Boston award from Boston Magazine for "Best Music Lessons, Kids", our Newbury Street location is a haven for adult students coming by after work, looking to immerse themselves in their favorite music. And we strive to foster a comfortable vibe at the school for our many adult students as well as our younger students.
Our instructors really set us apart. We have a long history of attracting some of Boston's best and brightest teachers, many of whom earned their degrees right around the corner at Berklee and NEC. Teachers like Tal Zilber, Meghan Zuver, or Dan Sitar – amazing musicians, but also dedicated teachers.
I'm most proud of the company's role in helping so many different types of students. Not only do we serve people of all ages, but we also have students and teachers from all over the world. Our pricing attracts students from different income brackets, and musical interests run the full gamut from indie rock to Bach. As evidenced at our most recent recital, but really throughout our history, our students are a true cross-section of this great multi-cultural city.
For starters, I would have moved quicker to seek advice from some industry leaders. I eventually did join a consulting group for lesson studio businesses, and while I had gravitated toward most of the same conclusions on my own, it would have been more productive to put some of those practices in place sooner.
Being open to change is something that's often preached but hard to trust. But in business it can be key, and I've found that change, especially on a bigger level, is usually a good thing. For example, we made a big change to our pricing model over 5 years ago and it's hard to imagine how we used to do it!
