Las Infantas es una unidad poblacional perteneciente al municipio de Aranjuez (Comunidad de Madrid), situada entre La Flamenca y Castillejo. Según el INE poseía en 2009 un total de 61 habitantes (39 varones y 22 mujeres). Al estar situada en el valle del Tajo, se encuentra a unos 480 metros sobre el nivel del mar, lo que convierten a esta zona en una de las más bajas de toda la Comunidad de Madrid.

Está comunicada tan solo por la carretera M-416, que atraviesa la localidad y que procede de Aranjuez. Desemboca a su vez en la carretera de Aranjuez a Toledo de la margen norte del río Tajo. Cuenta además con una estación de ferrocarril, hoy en desuso.

El entorno de Las Infantas es muy fértil, gracias al Tajo, que pasa a apenas 1,5 km. Existe también un pequeño arroyo llamado de la Cavina.

Russell Mills (born 1952) is a British painter, designer and ambient musician who created paintings that were used for several Nine Inch Nails releases. Other bands and artists he has worked for include Brian Eno, Cocteau Twins and David Sylvian.
2 Artwork For NIN
2.1 Cargo In The Blood
In art school, Mills began creating artwork inspired by lyrics from Brian Eno songs, which were later used in the book More Dark Than Shark. Starting in the 1980s, he was receiving commissions to create artwork for album and book covers. His style began to evolve from traditional drawing and painting into a more abstract collage-oriented style, with many organic elements and items from nature being used as materials. His paintings are sometimes seen as visually mirroring the sometimes ambient sounds of some of the albums he designs covers for.
He has done many exhibitions over the years, created multimedia installations and also designed sets and lighting for performers such as London Contemporary Dance Theatre, Wire and Terry Riley. He has also made two albums of semi-ambient music (Pearl + Umbra and Strange Familiar) under the name Undark, by creating sonic collages from unused sounds given to him by musicians he has connections with. Additionally, he has made ambient music to accompany his various installations, sometimes working with frequent collaborators Ian Walton and Mike Fearon. This catalog of installation music is being released in a six-part series called Still Moves.

A 10 minute film about the inspiration and process for the artwork of Cargo In The Blood as well as Mills' work for The Downward Spiral was also made available for viewing.
In an interview with Vice Magazine[2], Mills explained the relationship between Trent Reznor's and his second-hand experience with addiction and how that informed the art for Hesitation Marks/Cargo In The Blood:
How did your (and Trent Reznor's) proximity to addiction influence Cargo In The Blood?
Greatly. The title gives it away. The works are generally about the conjoined themes of chaos and order, and control and surrender, relating to and reflecting on the traumas that both Trent and I have experienced in our lives, traumas that will inevitably continue to shape our lives.
Trent had battled with alcohol and drugs at first hand, had damaged himself and caused great distress to those around him; that's the nature and pattern of an addiction. I'd lived with a chronic alcoholic wife for over four years, which meant being a psychological (and occasionally a physical) punching bag. While trying to be a carer I was also trying to protect my son—who was just eight when this vortex of pain and disruption exploded - from her worst excesses.
After over four years of trying to help my wife recover, unfortunately she still wasn't prepared or wasn't able to commit to rebuilding our lives or to stay dry. As I couldn't live with the prospect of years of more unpredictability and I had my son to think about, after weeks of painful conversations, we concluded that we'd have to divorce. Given her condition I was awarded custody of our son and while my focus was predominantly on his well being, I was also trying to make sense of what happened. A few years of shell shocked dumbness followed in which I was unable to create anything; I didn't see any point. Nothing interested me; everything seemed trivial, irrelevant. I shut out the external world as my mind internalized, fixed on what had happened.
In our early conversations towards what became the Hesitation Marks album, Trent stated that he felt that the material he was working on was allowing him to find some kind of equilibrium in response to his years of alcohol and drug-driven anger, frustration, shame and pain. The tracks that were in process were in embryonic form, but he sensed their promise. He was feeling his way, suspecting, hoping that something new and positive and vital might emerge. I had reached a similar point.
As we discussed the Hesitation Marks project, we talked a great deal about our respective traumatic "black" years, and discovered disturbing similarities in numerous aspects of our experiences, both during and post-crises, that came into alignment. We had both reached a point at which we had understood the whys and wherefores of addiction and the appalling fallout that follows. We had both come to accept certain truths, some unpalatable, and while we were both still angry and confused, we had found coping mechanisms that were allowing us to function with renewed focus and purpose. We were both attempting to harness the energy of the massed conjoined complicated emotions were still churning in us both.
Hesitation Marks was a cathartic route out of that mire for both of us. For me, the call from Trent to say that the project was proceeding, that a new NIN album was going to happen, was the green light that I needed to really let all this emotion out. The project gave me a license to explore all the ideas about chaos and order and control and surrender that had been buzzing in my head for years. The result is the Cargo In The Blood collection, a project of reclamation and regeneration.

"Let's Fix This Bloody Sport"
It's a hard habit to break. Even tonight I came home, turned the telly on at 7PM and hopped to ITV 4. Alas, the tour is over now, but despite all the controversy I still enjoyed it. Cycling Weekly got it badly wrong when they called for the tour to stop early. Whilst it is clearly wrong that top line cyclists like Alexandr Vinokourov, Michael Rasmusen and Iban Mayo doped to improve their form it is far more important that this is the first year I've known in which favourites were caught and dealt with promptly.
David Millar and his fellow majority of clean riders in the Peloton are rightly getting very angry at many of his fellow sportsmen who clearly are taking a long time to wake up. How far back the culture of doping goes is hard to guess. Tom Simpson certainly died whilst doping and tales of doping from that period on are all over the place. Sadly there's little interest in the veterans in tarnishing their reputation and coming clean, especially when like Bjarne Riis they were running a team. However, slowly the truth is emerging and perhaps we're looking at the end of a scandal that has lasted several generations. That's not to say all successful riders doped , there's clearly been a number of outstanding riders such as Lance Armstrong and Miguel Indurain who by skill and genetics were able to operate on a different level. That said we do know almost certainly that Bjarne Riis and Marco Pantani doped their way to a yellow jersey.
It will be very interesting to see what shape of tour ASO (the TDF's organisers) pick to run with when they announce in October. There's talk of national teams, Millar's moved to a new American team who appear to have a much stronger anti-doping regime than anyone else and also there's a strong possibility of another stage to reach London in the coming years. However there are many issues to be resolved in cycling which essentially boil down to arguments between the organisers of the tour and the organisers of elite cycling over who has real power. If they can agree on entering national teams then a UK team is certainly on the cards in '09 if not '08. In the longer term a cleaner tour will only mean good things for the sport of cycling in the UK, as it will become only easier to enter our clean athletes and hope for success on a fair basis.

Yes, Bill Bailey is going to try and take part in Eurovision 2008 as the UK entry.
Meanwhile, the first Eurovision Dance Contest is coming up and all thanks to the UK. I fear it won't be featuring morris dancing.

Qualcomm announces Snapdragon 632, 439 and 429 mobile platforms
Kareem Anderson Email @MindHead1 Jun 28th, 2018 in Latest news
Qualcomm Technologies wants to put its foot on the pedal and accelerate the potential of its market growth by introducing three new Snapdragon Mobile platforms to enhance its High and Mid Tier efficiencies.
Qualcomm's new 632, 439, and 429 Mobile Platforms are designed with similar vague mobile performance key-points-of-interest (KPI's) such as providing better battery life, more efficient designs, and improved graphics performances. However, what might set the new platforms apart from their predecessors are the embedded AI capabilities being brought to the forefront.
"The introduction of Snapdragon 632, 439 and 429 builds off Qualcomm Technologies' highest-selling mobile platforms and provides users with increased performance and power efficiency, superior graphics, AI capabilities and enhanced connectivity features," said Kedar Kondap, vice president, product management, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. "We're excited to offer these new platforms with enhanced features to our OEMs and consumers."
Enabling AI capabilities for software running on more financially accessible devices is one of those "rising tides lift all boats" situations for the industry, that should help developers push the envelope on what and how AI can be practically applied.
Microsoft's recent pivot to a cozier relationship with Qualcomm and its Windows 10, IoT and Azure platforms may be indicative of where the chip maker plans to take silicon in the future. With the recent release of Always Connected PC's powered by Qualcomm chips, it's clear Microsoft believes in the company to help provide a future of solutions for device users for years to come.
For more details about the individual platforms, visit Qualcomm's press release notes here.

Jadu, sponsors of this year's drinks reception, are offering institutions an opportunity to participate in research into use of social media. Why not take a look! Survey responses received before 6th September will win an iPod.
The adoption of social media is growing across all areas of society, including Higher Education. To gain a current picture of this emerging trend within Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) across the UK, leading web content management provider, Jadu, is conducting an in-depth research study. An online survey will provide information to help investigate challenges faced in managing this new means of communication alongside social media's impacts and benefits on established ways of working and communicating.
Jadu gave a BarCamp on this yesterday.
It's easy in our industry to get carried away with new devices and new technology. We don't just want to keep up with the latest trends, we want to use them.
I want to bring the focus back to people – and their goals.
Hence the concept of the nomad.
Nomads are people not settled in one specific place; but on the move – a characterisation that has always fitted the university life well.
Students flit from home, to the lecture hall, the library and the bar.
Staff research, teach and mentor from their offices, classrooms, and campuses.
Not forgetting prospective students, visiting lecturers, family, parents, and alumni all of whom have both a long term, personal but also transitory engagement with the university.
Here mobile technologies such as geo-tagging, mobile applications and websites, and even augmented reality solutions are a natural fit.
However, it is the people who are mobile, not the technology.
So, in this informal discussion I want us to look at different ways in which we can focus on your nomadic user's goals to better engage with all the different groups that come into contact with your university.
The BarCamps will run on Wednesday 29th July from 11am to 12:30pm, so look out for Chameleon Net in the exhibition / refreshment area and we'll point you to where we'll be running the BarCamp.
Do you have something you are dying to tell fellow delegates about? Maybe a new technology you are trying out at your institution or a piece of software you are developing? What about a project you are currently working on or something you feel is going to be the next big idea (Google Wave, Google Voice, Google Android (!), Gliffy….?), Or even a discussion area you feel strongly about (music downloading, use of APIs) or a gadget you love (iPhone)?
Could you run a 25 minute BarCamp on it?
A BarCamp is really just a short, informal knowledge sharing session. Although official BarCamps usually involve an over night stay we are running 3 lots of 30 minute slots in one go (hence a BarPicnic!).
Further information is available from the IWMW BarCamp page.
If you are interested in running a BarCamp comment on this post or send your idea over to Marieke. The official sign up board will be available at the information desk in the Ivor Crewe foyer.
Comments : Comments Off on BarCamps and BarPicnics!

Regent Claims Black Skin Pigment Bonds With Drugs
DAVID BAUDERMarch 17, 1989 GMT
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) _ A member of New York state's education policy-setting board claims a pigment in black skin bonds with narcotics to help cause drug addiction.
Adelaide Sanford, in asking the state Board of Regents to devote more money to drug education and research, suggested the state should study whether a chemical link is partially responsible for the disproportionate number of black drug addicts.
″The melanin in the skin of children of African descent bonds with narcotics and causes the addiction,″ Sanford, who is black, said at a Wednesday night meeting of the board.
Sanford said through a spokesman today that her statement, reported in today's New York Post, did not mean blacks are more prone than whites to drug addiction.
″She was just making the point that there ought to be more research and I don't think anyone disagrees with that view,″ said Chris Carpenter, a spokesman for the state Education Department and the Regents.
Sanford, a retired elementary school teacher from Brooklyn, told the Post she learned of the possible link between melanin and drugs from K-M WR Science Consortium, a ″new age″ study group.
A spokesman for the group, Dr. Neserkar Stewart, said some research indicates there's a link between drugs and melanin, but it can't be said this makes blacks more prone to drug addiction.
″To say that we have a high drug addiction rate (because of melanin) ... I don't know if such a blanket statement can be made,″ said Stewart, reached by telephone in Oakland, Calif.
Dr. Ron Simeone, director of research for the state Division of Substance Abuse, said he had never heard of such research as cited by Sanford.
Sanford was not immediately available for additional comment because she was in a meeting, Carpenter said.
New York's education officials have drawn criticism for being slow to react to the explosion of crack addiction in New York City and elsewhere.
It's not the first time Sanford has been at the center of controversy for racially related comments. Last year, some legislators called for her resignation after she said that lowering the dropout rates for white students, as opposed to black students, was not on her agenda.


This movie is loosely based around a script filled with murdered blondes in L.A. It's tongue-in-cheek take on Los Angeles, and the film world is pretty hilarious and accurate. The packed-in screening audience, mostly made up of "industry" people, laughed at all the right references the clever director/co-star Todd Berger—littered throughout. Berger, a.k.a. "Wallace Cotten" (you know, the pretentious indie-filmmaker?), used several different "found footage"-style cameras to craft an almost masterpiece of independent cinema.
Berger mentioned during the Q&A that 40 minutes of film had to be cut. Fortunately for him, this explained away issues of minor narrative inconsistencies some audiences might find confusing. Scenester had some of the better performances from a cast seen at Slamdance in 2010 and is a solid audience favorite. This is great for upcoming awards deserved by one of the more creatively crafted films anyone has made in some time.


I've flown the Velvet before but never this size and boy what a difference size makes. in this case, great things come in small packages, I loved the handling. For anyone that likes carving about in 3-D, the Velvet is a good choice.
Conditions were: Miniplane Top 80 55 Lbs, me at 150 lbs for a clip-in of about 205 Lbs. Flown at Delphi, IN.
The Velvet is advertised as a semi-reflex wing but I can't really tell much difference from a standard glider. At least it feels and flies more like a standard glider than what I think of as a reflex.
It has typical lightweight MacPara Construction and comes up easily like their others. I frequently grouse about the magnetic clips that get clogged with metalic sand but this wing also had velcro clips. At least until the velcro gets gunky, this is a great solution. As with the rest of their gliders I've flown, it has split A's.
Handling (7 trim in, 7 trim out): Handling is conventional and crisp with trimmers in or out. There is no tip steering nor is any needed. It takes more pressure than the Spice but probably less than an Eden. My favorite characteristic was how well it would yaw into a dive if you wanted. Again, it's easy to turn flat just by applying appropriate outside brake, but it's nice to dive when you want it to.
Inflation (8): Comes up quite easily, more than you would expect of a glider with much reflex. Being small made it that much easier.
Efficiency (7): My brief test did not get to include GPS data with speeds and sink rates so I don't have any hard data here. It felt very efficient, though, judging from the power required and energy on landing. Quite unlike the Muse (one of MacPdara's beginner wings), which leaves very little energy for flaring, this had a LOT.
Speed: There's not a long trimmer range so speed will probably be like a conventional paraglider of similar size. I'll defer to the maker's numbers here.
Certification & Safety: It is certified as EN-D meaning that it's appropriate for high-end PPG2 or PPG3 pilots. It won't have the passive collapse resistance of a reflex glider so you should be comfortable with active flying before taking it out on the dance floor of thermally air.
Overall: Loved flying the Velvet, especially this size. For good handling with decent speed but without the complication of a full reflex, this seems like a great choice.

Sixth-grade science project aims to clean up Lake Arbor

A flock of hundreds of geese stands on the ice at Lake Arbor. The class has deduced that the geese may be one cause for high levels of toxins in the lake.
Posted Wednesday, January 8, 2020 1:15 pm
A project that has taken over the entire sixth grade class at Moore Middle School — and will soon find its way into Arvada City Hall — started with one 11-year-old, Zach Ford, while he was on a walk with his dad John this summer.
The two were passing by Lake Arbor when Zach asked his dad why they couldn't see any fish in the lake. John suggested that Zach pose the question to his sixth-grade science teacher, Alicia Asmus, when the school year started back up in August.
"I wanted to have an answer," Zach said. "After I asked her, she said there were signs around the lake saying the lake was dangerous. We wanted to try to fix it."
Zach and John suggested the fix might require a little more manpower, and before long, Zach's whole class was working on the project.
"I think they were excited," Zach said.
Back in August, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) found "high levels of toxic blue-green algae in Lake Arbor," said a statement from Arvada Water posted on Nextdoor, a social networking service.
The city posted warning signs at the lake to warn passersby of the algae, which can cause adverse effects, such as flu-like symptoms, for those who come into contact with it. For animals, contact with blue-green algae can be fatal.
The statement added that the algae is "common in Colorado" and can appear in hot weather.
A second statement posted Sept. 10 said that follow-up testing found toxin levels below the CDPHE reporting range.
However, the statement said, "conditions can change quickly."
"The algae can be there in the morning and gone in the afternoon," said Patrick Miklos, Arvada water quality technician. "We do plan on continuing to test, primarily when it's hot."
Meanwhile, the sixth-grade science class at Moore Middle School, near 88th and Wadsworth Blvd. on the Westminster and Arvada border, is also doing its part to find a solution. The class devotes roughly one class period a week to researching the project, Asmus said.
"They started off with just questioning. I posed the question, 'what do you think is wrong with the lake?' They came up with a lot of different hypotheses," she said.
Initial research led to a field trip to the lake Nov. 6, where students made observations and collected water samples to be tested back in the school science lab, she said.
After testing the water for phosphorous, nitrogen and pH levels — which, if out of the normal range, can propagate algae growth — the students created online graphs to draw conclusions.
"They discovered our phosphates are higher than they should be," Asmus said.
Having conducted more research and spoken with multiple scientists from around the state, the students are now trying to figure out what the main cause of the high phosphorous level could be. The class has already come up with several ideas, such as the number of geese in the area and pollution, Asmus and Zach said.
The city government has also gotten in on the project, with the students asking Arvada Water to test some of the samples, Asmus said.
"My results were similar to what the kids were getting," said Miklos, who tested the samples back in November, and whose sixth-grade son has been part of the project.
"It was a good opportunity to collaborate with the students and teachers and show them the impact we have on the environment," he said. "And it would be nice to see that lake get cleaned up."
The class plans to present their findings and potential solutions to the Arvada City Council at a Feb. 3 meeting. The goal is for the students to possibly build something to mitigate the problem — and, if all goes well, sixth-grade students next year could monitor the effectiveness of that solution, she said.
"This is important because people like to walk by the lake, and we don't want people and animals to get sick," Zach said. "It feels like I'm making a difference in the community."

Black magick is all about the manipulation and management of energy. The strength of one's mind and air determine the form and amount of energy that one can direct and manage safely while producing the desired results. Workings fail because of weakness of one's mind and aura.
Energy ripping involves drawing the life force. An individual should already have a powerful aura that could pull energy at will and be able to transform it for one's personal benefit. There are two ways of going about this. One is that the destruction of victim's aura and the second is hooking up an energy line and draining the victim dry. This prepares the victim to be much more vulnerable to psychic attacks and completely opens him to get the willed input of destructive energy in the mage.
1. One needs to have a photograph or picture of the victim. This is so one can visualize him obviously. This is extremely important to the operation.
2. Go into a trance state.
3. Begin by visualizing yourself drawing the victim's aura and disintegrating it. You can visualize yourself actually eating and ingesting the aura until it is totally gone or drawing it into your sexual chakra. Always draw energy with your feminine chakras as these absorb. The manly chakras project energy. It's best to absorb this sort of energy in the lower chakras.
4. When the air is disintegrated and ingested, picture drawing all of the inner energies. The sufferer should change from white energy to grey energy and then to black, indicating the life force was completely emptied.
Clean your aura and chakras thoroughly after each working to transform the absorbed energy into personal benefit.
The above four steps should be carried out frequently, a minimum of 3-4 times a week to more than once per day. It is going to eventually take its toll.
Following the functioning has done its job and depleted the victim, an individual should follow up with black magick workings. Before each black magick operation, the victim's aura ought to be prepped with black energy so he/she will absorb the destructive energy. Just envision him with a black aura and proceed with the working.
Do not forget to thoroughly clean your own aura and chakras.
The above is elementary black magick. It can be accomplished by most individuals with a basic background in energy manipulation and strength meditation. More advanced techniques involve working with elemental energy and death energy. When working with passing energy, one must be very adept and experienced as this could be harmful. The life force is replaced with the destructive energy of the elements or the death energy.


Since I didn't feel comfortable free-handing the "Mom" cross stitch pattern for this card, I did a quick internet search and found www.bettercrossstitchpatterns.com, a great website that has free cross stitch instructions and patterns. I used the basic cross stitch alphabet patterns found HERE created by Catherine Martin Tripp as my letter patterns.
I simply printed out a sheet of the letters and then cut out the individual letter blocks. The letters print out on a grid, so cutting them the same size for aligning and placement is easy. I then attached them to the Very Vanilla card stock heart piece that I had cut out using the Big Shot and Hearts Collection Framelits (see below for more information). This piece is the inside of my card. I used Dotto temporary adhesive to attach the letters to this piece.
Once the letters were placed where I wanted them, I moved the heart to my Paper Piercing Mat. I pierced holes in the card stock using my Paper Piercing Tool and using the cross stitch pattern as my guide to pierce holes at the top and bottom of the cross stitch "x's" on each letter.
Once that was done, I removed the pattern pieces and embroidered the cross stitch pattern using the Lucky Limeade and Primrose Petals embroidery floss that comes with the Sweet Threads Simply Sent kit from Stampin' Up!
Be sure to check bettercrossstitchpatterns.com for basic cross stitch instructions.
To create the cross stitch lines underneath "Mom", I simply placed the Paper Piercing Template below the letters and pierced four rows of holes. I then cross stitched using the pierced holes as my guide.
To create the heart card, I started with a piece of Tea for Two Designer Series paper measuring approx 10" x 6" and scored in half. I then placed the top of the large scallop heart framelit just above the score line and ran it through the Big Shot. The heart will now open as a card.
I then opened the heart and centered the 3rd largest sized heart framelit on the front of the scallop heart. I ran it through the Big Shot cutting a window in the scallop heart.
To create the inside piece that is to be cross stitched, I cut a heart out of plain Very Vanilla card stock using the 3rd largest framelit and sponged on some color. It is now ready to be paper pierced and cross stitched. Notice you will have a heart cut out that can be used for another project.
To create the Island Indigo frames, I simply nested two heart framelits (2nd and 3rd largest) on a piece of Island Indigo card stock and ran through the Big Shot. I made one frame for the heart on the inside and one frame for the heart on the outside of the card. Again, you will have a heart cut outs that can be used for another project.


". . . a beautifully written novel."
Turning 40 is traumatic for the rock and roll lead in Hannah Tunncliffe's newest novel, A French Wedding. To manage the horror, Max invites his university chums for a sun soaked weekend at his sumptuous French villa. Eddie brings his youthful American girlfriend; Rosie, her stodgy and unpopular husband. Married couple Nina and Lars bring their recalcitrant 15-year-old daughter, and Helen, Max's oldest friend and secret love, brings her militant younger stepsister. What could possibly go wrong?
When tossed together with heartbroken ex-chef and Max's housekeeper, Juliette, this motley crew experiences drama and laughter over lavishy described meals. Movies like The Big Chill and The Breakfast Club spring to mind as this collection of archetypes interact over a fraught weekend in the French countryside.
Characters get the same treatment: Lars has a face with "a hundred happy creases," Helen has a hand that is "cool and smooth, not unlike the satin of an oyster shell." Tunnicliffe displays a similar sense-conscious style throughout the novel, describing people and places with lush phrasing that makes the total package of the novel appealing.
Unfortunately, the characters' inner lives and motivations aren't detailed as completely. Through flashback passages, Tunnicliffe allows the reader to encounter her characters as they meet and interact in college, but it's never clear what drew or kept them together. Fast forward to the present, and she writes characters who smoke a lot and make pronouncements but rarely conversation. Perhaps Tunnicliffe was going for the stereotypical view of French cinema, but it falls flat in a narrative that demands the reader know the characters in order to feel their pain.
Unbelievable, too, is their immediate adoption of Juliette as an essential member of their crew. Why? It's never clarified. She is the, again, stereotypical world-weary and wise Frenchwoman, parceling out bits of life wisdom and inserting herself into their lives in a way that is entirely inappropriate. These are well off, mature people; it's hard to imagine them embracing such intrusion into their private lives.
Juliette's backstory is lengthy and quite unnecessary to the main narrative. She lost family, was betrayed by a lover, and sold a business, but it's unclear why that gives her any more life wisdom than the people she strives to counsel, who are of similar age and social status. As a set up of the "twist" at the end, parts of that backstory might be justified; however, the aforementioned twist comes out of the blue, seemingly to tic a box on modern demographics. It felt added for shock value. Maybe a decade ago it might have done so; not in 2017.
A French Wedding is a beautifully written novel that ultimately collapses under its own langorous pacing and lack of character development. Read for description, it's a lovely novel, full of rich and evocative language. As a narrative of compelling story and logical development, though, it just doesn't work.

Q: Looping issue in nodejs I have a problem with nodejs. I'n try to read an xml file with node-xlsx library.
The libreary read correcly the file, and add info in array. the problem are when I try to mount other array with this array.
Code:
module.exports = {
  getConnections: function () {
    var obj = xlsx.parse('xxxxx.xls'); // parses a file
    var connection = {
      customer: "",
      Type: "",
      ip: "",
      user: "",
      pass: ""

    }
    var connections = [];
    //loop through all rows in the sheet
    for (var j = 0; j < obj[0]['data'].length; j ++) {
      //add the row to the rows array
      //rows.push(sheet['data'][j]);
      if (obj[0]['data'][j].length > 4) {
        var a = connection;
        connection.customer = obj[0]['data'][j][0];
        connection.Type = obj[0]['data'][j][2]
        connection.ip = obj[0]['data'][j][3]
        connection.user = j;
        connections.push(connection)
        //console.log(connection)
      }
    }
    console.log(connections)
    return connections;
  }
}

If I see the, console.log(connection), any object was correcly created. I add this object in array for return all info.
But If I read second console log, console.log(connections) for see what I return, all the objects in array are the same. All like the last value of for loop..

World / WHO
WHO identifying potential pandemic pathogens
The World Health Organization Headquaters --
The World Health Organization said on Monday it was thrashing out a new list of priority pathogens that risk sparking pandemics or outbreaks and need to be kept under close observation.
The WHO said the aim was to update a list used to guide global research and development (R&D) and investment, especially in vaccines, tests and treatments.
As part of that process, which started on Friday, the United Nations health agency is convening over 300 scientists to consider evidence on more than 25 virus families and bacteria.
They will also consider the so-called "Disease X" -- an unknown pathogen that could cause a serious international epidemic.
"Targeting priority pathogens and virus families for research and development of countermeasures is essential for a fast and effective epidemic and pandemic response," said WHO emergencies director Michael Ryan.
"Without significant R&D investments prior to the Covid-19 pandemic, it would not have been possible to have safe and effective vaccines developed in record time."
The list was first published in 2017.
It currently includes Covid-19, Ebola virus disease and Marburg virus disease, Lassa fever, Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) and severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), Nipah, Zika and Disease X.
For each pathogen identified as a priority, experts will pinpoint knowledge gaps and research priorities.
Desired specifications for vaccines, treatments and diagnostic tests can then be drawn up.
Efforts are also made to facilitate clinical trials to develop such tools, while efforts to strengthen regulatory and ethics oversight are also considered.
"This list of priority pathogens has become a reference point for the research community on where to focus energies to manage the next threat," WHO chief scientist Soumya Swaminathan explained.
"It is developed together with experts in the field and is the agreed direction for where we -- as a global research community -- need to invest energy and funds."
The revised list is expected to be published before April 2023.

KaiNexus customer Erin Edwards, Continuous Improvement Manager at Four Seasons Produce, gives an example of how an employee-suggested opportunity for improvement resulted in improved communication and employee morale.
Our packing department has temporary associates that join us as needed based on our volume for the day. It was identified that the leads who manage those teams would like to call those associates by name, but it was a challenge because a temporary associate here today might be gone by tomorrow.
The team had the idea to lay out a blank roll of labels and a pen, and when an associate entered the department, they were able to write their name on that label and wear it on their smock for the day. This has helped with morale and communication – instead of saying "Hey, you!" or "You over there!" they can now call them by their names.

The automobile industry wasn't always focused on fuel efficiency. In the earlier years of auto-making, manufacturers had to focus on creating a new product, rather than improving a familiar one. Now that automobiles have a blueprint, auto-makers can focus on improving their products in the areas that count. Today, just about every vehicle has an impressive fuel efficiency rating to match its excellent features, making them worth your hard-earned dollars. So, if you're looking to save time and money, you may want to give a more fuel efficient car a try in Burlington. At Burlington, we have a large variety of stylish, fuel efficient vehicles in stock!

Q: How to simulate a table in jaspersoft studio since I guess there is no way to rotate a table by 90° I started to simulate one by wrapping static text and text fields together in band. I enclose each static text to its text field which suppose to have the value for that static text and then enclose all rows (combination of static and text fields) in one band. But I can not adjust the stretch type in a way that all these components play together.  Each text field has a different value and should be expandable to its content. For example field text for static text 3. All fields are set to stretch by over flow, position float, stretch type relative to band height. What are the correct adjustments for properties?
the structure is like this:

And this is how it looks like with text fields fading in each other:

A: Put every row which can expand into a Frame. The frame Position Type should be Float.
Now this will keep the titles and content together.
Since you've set all other parameters accordingly, this should be enough to get the corrent layout.

A: I set sub frames and text fields like this:
Position type float, stretch type: no stretch,   stretch with overflow to true for text fields.
stretch with overflow to true for text fields.
main frame wich contains all other frames : float, relative to tallest object

Sylvain Salnave (né le  au Cap-Haïtien, et mort fusillé le  à Port-au-Prince) est un militaire et homme d'État haïtien, qui fut , à la tête du gouvernement provisoire, du  au , avant d'être élu président de la République, à cette date jusqu'au , date à laquelle il rétablit l'ancienne constitution de 1846 et s'attribut le titre de président à vie. Renversé le , il est jugé puis exécuté le mois suivant.

Arrivé aux responsabilités après la chute du dictateur Fabre Geffrard en 1867, il prend la tête du gouvernement provisoire le 4 mai, après la démission du général Nissage Saget. Le 14 juin 1867, la constitution républicaine est officiellement adoptée et Salnave est élu président pour un mandat de quatre ans. Rapidement, il suspend la constitution et se maintient en place grâce au soutien de l'armée et de quelques parlementaires. Son régime dut néanmoins faire face à plusieurs guerres civiles constantes entre les différentes factions républicaines qui contestent son pouvoir après la suspension de la constitution.

Décrit comme anti-bourgeois, Salnave mène une politique sévère à l'égard des possédants, leur imposant des taxes destinées à améliorer le sort de la population et demandant aux commerçants de baisser les prix des produits de première nécessité. La bourgeoisie se révolte. Salnave ordonne alors de construire des magasins d'État, qui existent encore de nos jours. Il engagea aussi de grandes dépenses pour moderniser la flotte militaire, ce qui contribua à affaiblir l'économie du pays et à appauvrir la population. Menée par les rivaux de Salnave, parmi lesquels Nissage Saget, la rébellion républicaine se poursuit contre sa dictature. En 1868, elle s'étend au Nord et au Sud de l'île. Salnave tente d'écraser l'insurrection mais doit reculer avant de se retrancher à Port-au-Prince. Les rebelles assiègent la ville puis la bombardent, notamment à l'aide de « La Terreur », un navire de la marine de guerre haïtienne tombé entre leurs mains. Lors de ce bombardement le palais présidentiel fut détruit. Le , Salnave réussit à s'échapper avec un bataillon de mille hommes en direction de Pétionville. Il décide ensuite de gagner la République dominicaine pour obtenir l'aide du président Buenaventura Báez. Mais il est capturé par le général Cabral le  et livré aux hommes de Saget. Traduit devant la cour de justice, il est reconnu coupable de trahison contre la République, et exécuter peu après le verdict.

Carrière militaire
Fils de Sylvestre Salnave et de Fillette Ragonse, un couple mulâtre et métis, il reçut une instruction bourgeoise. Il s'engage dans l'armée en 1850. Capitaine de cavalerie, il se rallie dans un premier temps à Fabre Geffrard qui vient de renverser Faustin Soulouque et de rétablir la Constitution de 1846, qui permet un retour à la présidence à vie.

Geffrard, dont la popularité a commencé à décliner, était impuissant à punir Salnave, qui s'imposa bientôt comme le principal opposant au régime dictatorial. Salnave a promu et encouragé les insurrections fréquentes aux frontières. En 1864, il encouragea une insurrection dans le nord d'Haïti, mais le mouvement fut stoppé avec l'aide des Espagnols. En , Salnave dirigea un nouveau soulèvement aux Gonaïves. Bien qu'il ait été vaincu à nouveau, la révolte a continué à augmenter. Sous la pression, Geffrard est contraint de quitter le pouvoir et de prendre la route de l'exil le .

Arrivée au pouvoir

La chute de Geffrard et le gouvernement provisoire

Après le départ de Geffrard, le Conseil des secrétaires d'État est devenu l'autorité suprême pendant un certain temps. Mais en , Salnave arriva à Port-au-Prince, où il reçut un accueil chaleureux de la part de ses partisans. Le , il rejoint le gouvernement provisoire présidé par Nissage Saget. Ce dernier voit en Salnave une menace pour la République. Les partisans étaient mécontents de cette répartition du pouvoir et, sous leur pression, Salnave prit, le , le commandement des troupes dans la capitale, renversa la présidence provisoire, et prit le titre de "Protecteur de la Nation". L'attitude des masses et la popularité croissante de Salnave ont commencé à inquiéter les libéraux, qui se sont retrouvés une fois de plus obligés de se soumettre à un militaire. Cette défiance à l'égard de leur nouveau chef était de mauvais augure pour le pays.

Président de la République
Le , la constitution républicaine est officiellement adoptée et Salnave est élu président de la République pour un mandat de quatre ans. Soutenu par d'anciens impérialistes, Salnave met en place son régime. Il a gagné la sympathie du peuple par son courage et ses goûts simples. Mais il est loin d'être un libéral, à tel point qu'il s'oppose bientôt au corps législatif qui pensait que le moment était venu de mettre en place le système parlementaire. Le , la rupture avec le Congrès était totale, à la suite d'une interpellation du Cabinet par la Chambre des représentants concernant l'arrestation et l'emprisonnement du général Leon Montas. À cette époque, les paysans avaient pris les armes à Vallières contre Salnave et le général était accusé d'être l'instigateur, sinon le chef du soulèvement. Les membres du Cabinet ont ouvertement accusé la Chambre des représentants de connivence avec les rebelles. Le , la foule envahit le bâtiment et chassa les membres du Congrès. Cet acte de violence inconsidéré a eu de graves conséquences.

En expulsant de force les membres de la Chambre des représentants, Salnave avait suspendu la Constitution républicaine ; conséquence, le , il a commis une autre erreur en permettant aux officiers et aux sous-officiers de son armée, dont le quartier général se trouvait à Trou-du-Nord, de former une pétition demandant la suspension de la Constitution et une dictature pour le pouvoir exécutif. Ainsi, Salnave s'octroie un pouvoir illimité.

Nissage Saget, qui était alors commandant de l'arrondissement de Saint-Marc, a pris les armes contre cette usurpation. Une fois de plus frustré dans l'espoir d'un gouvernement fondé sur la légalité et la liberté, le pays a atteint l'une des périodes les plus critiques de son existence, l'insurrection devenant bientôt générale. Les insurgés du Sud avaient leur siège à Carrefour, à trois lieues de la capitale.

Salnave essaya de les accepter ; mais, échouant dans sa tentative, il résolut de compter désormais sur son énergie et sa valeur pour maintenir son autorité. Il avait l'avantage de l'unité de commandement sur ses adversaires, car les rebelles du Sud avaient de nombreux chefs. À la suite d'une contre-révolution survenue à Léogâne et dans les montagnes de Jacmel, les insurgés ont été contraints de lever le siège de Port-au-Prince le . Ils ont ressenti la nécessité d'organiser leur gouvernement : le , Nissage Saget est proclamé président provisoire à Saint-Marc.

Chute

Guerre civile

L'intrépidité de Salnave lui donna pendant un moment toutes les chances d'écraser ses ennemis. Il avait acheté un paquebot aux États-Unis pour remplacer les deux navires de guerre, le  et le Geffrard , qui avaient été livrés aux insurgés. Le nouveau bateau à vapeur, baptisé Alexandre Pétion, est arrivé à Port-au-Prince le . Le lendemain, Salnave monta à bord et se dirigea vers Petit-Goâve, où les deux bateaux à vapeur appartenant aux rebelles ont été ancrés. L'Alexandre Pétion a ouvert le feu sur le , qui a été coulé ; le commandant du Geffrard a sabordé son navire pour l'empêcher d'être capturé.

Ce succès fit de Salnave le maître de Petit-Goâve, que les insurgés furent obligés d'évacuer. En , tout le département du Sud est de nouveau sous son autorité, à l'exception de Jérémie et des Cayes, qui sont étroitement encerclés. Depuis Camp-Boudet, où il avait établi son quartier général, il a personnellement dirigé le siège des Cayes, dont il aurait éventuellement pris possession si la fortune de la guerre ne lui avait pas été contraire dans l'Artibonite. Son principal lieutenant, le général Victorin Chevallier, avait été obligé d'évacuer Les Gonaïves, occupés par les troupes de Saget. À leur arrivée à Port-au-Prince, les soldats de Chevallier créent de telles perturbations que Salnave doit regagner en toute hâte la capitale, où il arrive en . Il doit également combattre à cette époque l'opposition du clergé catholique : le , il avait sommairement congédié Testar du Cosquer , archevêque de Port-au-Prince ; et avait pris la même mesure contre Alexis Jean-Marie Guilloux, le vicaire général, le .

Présidence à vie

La position de Salnave empirait. L'un de ses plus fidèles partisans, le général Victorin Chevallier, secrétaire à la Guerre, qui commandait l'armée entourant Jacmel, abandonna sa cause en novembre et rejoignit l'insurrection. Salnave commençait maintenant à penser qu'il pourrait peut-être encore apaiser le mécontentement régnant dans tout le pays en renonçant au pouvoir absolu. En , il nomma un conseil législatif. Cet organe s'est réuni en novembre et, rétablissant la présidence à vie assumée par Salnave, a reconstitué la Constitution de 1846. Mais il était trop tard pour en profiter et l'abolition de la dictature était impuissante à sauver le gouvernement, car Cap-Haïtien et tout le département du Nord-Ouest avaient déjà rejoint la cause de l'insurrection. Une attaque audacieuse contre Port-au-Prince a finalement mis fin à cette guerre civile.

Arrestation et exécution

Le , les généraux Georges Brice et Boisrond-Canal ont atterri dans la capitale à la tête de 1 200 soldats. Dans la nuit, ils avaient surpris le navire de guerre La Terreur. Pendant le combat qui a suivi, ce navire a commencé à bombarder le palais exécutif ; un boulet a frappé la poudrière, qui a explosé juste après le départ de Salnave. Celui-ci a réussi à atteindre le territoire dominicain ;  mais le général José María Cabral, qui sympathisait avec ses adversaires, le livra aux Haïtiens.

Le , Salnave est arrivé à Port-au-Prince, où il a comparu devant une cour martiale. Il a été condamné à mort et abattu le même jour à six heures du soir, attaché à un poteau installé sur les ruines fumantes du palais exécutif.

all i see is the SOS….israel striking with impunity…while people quote sun tzu…and make up stuff about how israel is so afraid of war…while they destroy anything they want to.
after a while…i think it best to view reality…not self deception…if you really wish to find solutions.
Israel is the modern excretion of Jewish gangsters and terrorists groups, i.e., Hagana, Irgun, Lahi, et al, and their multiple permutations, which after WWII became the backbone of what is now the dastardly, cowardly, children-killing, war-criminal, Israel Occupation Forces. All the capo mafiosi of these Jewish terrorist groups, the ones who started the still ongoing ethnic cleansing of Palestine, later became Israel's PMs (e.g., Begin, Shamir), and fought and won several wars against their weak Arab neighbors. They installed themselves as "the only democracy in the ME," and more recently, in a show of "true democratic values" declared themselves as a "Jewish state," among a sea of Arabs, Druze, and other ethnic groups.
Israel's "army" grew complacent after winning a few wars and skirmishes against their Arab neighbors, their victories found an easy way to their Zio-Nazi heads filled with "Übermensch" and "chosen people" garbage. They have been bombing and killing their weaker neighbors at whim ever since, whoever they think poses a real or perceived danger to the "security" (read, pillage) of "Israel" (read, occupied Palestine.) The 2006 Summer War with Hezbollah caught them sitting on their laurels, so confident it was going to be a walk in the park, IOF chief of staff Dan Halutz was busy selling his investment portfolio only three hours after the incident that triggered the war, the kidnapping of two Israeli soldiers by Hezbollah.
The arrogant Israeli elite, and their criminal "army" (read children-killing gang), were unable to comprehend that Hezbollah matching their power and forcing their "invincible" army to turn around south of the Litani River in 2006, was an inflection point in the history of modern warfare between Israel and its Arab neighbors. They are still producing report after report justifying their tactical mistakes and strategic failures in that war, the greatest of them was the planned destruction of Hezbollah, forever. The war of annihilation against Hezbollah and Lebanon had been four months in the works between Bush and Olmert, when Nasrallah, his intel already in the known, launched the kidnapping provocation.
In any future conventional war between Israel and any of the Axis of Resistance powers, Israel will be surely and soundly defeated, and any defeat to Israel on any battleground, will have to thank master strategist Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah, a modern Sun Tzu, for that strategic beating in what's known in Lebanon as the "July War," the 2006 Summer War. At that historical moment, the correlation of forces changed, forever, against Israel, their "air superiority" defeated by the more than hundred missiles a day coming from Lebanon, hitting Israel in, up to that conflict, unthinkable places.
And the rest is history. Israel/US/NATO interventions in the ME, whether political (sanctions), military (invasion and occupation), or diplomatic (isolation), were all orchestrated with the double goal to perpetually weaken Israel's neighbors (bomb-'em back to the Stone Age), and to keep their strategic claws in the region's oil resources, using Israel as their land carrier. Iraq was the first victim to Israel's strategic "rollback" and regime change goals for its Arab neighbors, adopted as a national security strategy for the 2000s, which kicked off with the CIA/Mossad fake and phony 9/11 "attack" on the US. Syria followed under the fake and phony "Arab Spring," which opened the gates for Israel/US/UK/NATO to use CIA/Mossad/MI6-created fake and phony "Muslims" to destroy and take over Syria, a pattern that Russia/Iran timely intervention stopped, and with that action, the balance of power against Israel was sealed in the negative for time to come. Now Syria has a capable, modern, radar, missile, and EW systems, to be used against any aggressor, Iran has hundred of thousands of missiles, both countries armed with Russian S-300s backed by Russia's S-400s at their Syrian bases, and both countries, plus Hezbollah, with armies seasoned in a war by proxy against the West.
Israel ran out of strategic "rollbacks" and regime change goals, no more bombing countries with impunity, its only option now short of a nuclear war, is to start a regional war that will involve the US/UK/NATO, hence its constant provocations against Syria, Lebanon, Iran, and even Russia. The latter, with its newly found power in hypersonic missiles and nuclear weapons that the West cannot easily counter, is now exerting its growing military muscles on the world stage, telling the UK they "reserve the right to respond" to any provocation with their announced new military bases, warning "hotheads" in Israel and the US re: Syria, Iran, Venezuela, and looking to open their own military bases in Africa.
Elijah J Magnier is correct. I would say that Israel now faces a far stronger Syria that in the process of surviving a coordinated US attempt to destroy it now has in its Syrian military one of the toughest battle hardened forces in the world. Syria knows who its friends are in the East and will not throw any favors to its enemies in the West. The US and its EU vassals will be kicked out of Syria.

Youth business fair sells hope for free markets, spirit of entrepreneurship
Written by	Dallas Woodhouse - Carolina Journal News Service

RALEIGH — Despite efforts from the left to bring cradle-to-grave big government to America, dozens of talented entrepreneurs, ages 6 to 14, displayed their keen business sense as part of the annual Raleigh Children's Business Fair in early October.
This year's fair featured 40 youth vendors showcasing and selling original items in a market-style setting, presenting one-of-a-kind products developed, created, and marketed by the young people. Some hot-selling items included gourmet foods, colorful hand-knitted scarfs, art, greeting cards, bath salts, beauty products, and comic books.
The fifth annual Raleigh Children's Business Fair, hosted by the John William Pope Foundation, returned to Raleigh after a hiatus in 2020 because of the pandemic. The fair is part of a national program created by Acton Academy, with the goal of offering a safe and fun entrepreneurial experience.
First held as a one-time event in Austin, Texas, the program grew, and today's fairs are held around the world and across North Carolina. This is the fifth fair hosted by the Pope Foundation.
Blake Ackiss, who is 11 and a fifth-grader at Combs Elementary, developed a successful business designing, making, and selling paracord bracelets.
Blake told Carolina Journal he's learning "salesmanship" and is making "good contacts" to help further grow the business he started with his brother. The two competed in a previous fair and have refined their products since.
They named their business Bash Brothers after former major leaguers Jose Canseco and Mark McGwire, both prolific power hitters.
The students compete for customer dollars and for awards. Students are judged on customer service, originality, and potential for market success. Market success is judged on appearance, sales strategy, market knowledge, and scalability.
The Brown Sugar Sisters showcased popular apple and lavender bath salts and body scrubs, as well as coconut body butter. Sienna Forrester, 14, and her 13-year-old sister Savanna create the products from scratch.
Thirteen-year-old Cyrus Barbour and his 8-year-old sister Isis design Anime T-shirts. Customers could also pick up their novelty "slime" and silly string. Isis was quick to point out that she's learning "how to make money" and about what to do better next time.
The adoption of a rescue pet, a little dog named Josie, spurred 13-year-old Anna Barbour (no relation) to create Watercolors for Wags.
"This is my business, and I am selling watercolors," she said. "I have bookmarks for a dollar, greeting cards for $2, quote cards for $3. All the profits go to Saving Grace Animals for Adoption. You can place personalized orders, and we will ship them to you."
Anna told CJ that starting her business helped her to understand perseverance. "It is hard sometimes, and so you have to keep going, even though it's hard."
Sixth-grader Molly Wilkins and her fourth-grade sister Zoey are talented young artists who created Pour Girl designs. They hand-paint canvases, design earrings, and sell vases.
"I am learning how to interact with people without being a little pushy," said Molly.
"I think they are doing a great job," says proud mom Grace. "I think they are learning responsibility. I think they are taking ownership for something as they are creating."
The John William Pope Foundation makes grants to improve the well-being of North Carolinians by advancing the ideas of limited government, individual freedom, personal responsibility, and strong communities. The foundation's grants are focused on public policy, education, the arts, and human services. The foundation is a supporter of the John Locke Foundation, the parent company of Carolina Journal.
The Raleigh Children's Business Fair is just one of many charitable endeavors the foundation supports to foster free-market economics under the foundation's belief that "under the rule of law, a free-market economy is the best conduit to bring the greatest prosperity to the most significant number of people. A free and prosperous nation cannot function without individual responsibility and initiative."

Jackie Mason's Queens Connection
To Jackie Mason, Queens – more specifically Kew Gardens Hills – was a home away from home. His revered brother, Rav Dov Berel (Bernard) Maza z"l, led Beis Medrash RE"M, opposite Bet Midrash TOV at 68th Drive and 147th Street, and Cong. Emunah Shleima, also in Kew Gardens Hills. RE"M, an acronym for his saintly father Rav Eliyahu Mordechai Maza, meant that Mason would forever be connected to Kew Gardens Hills, visiting at times. Mason, along with his Yiddish locutions, held dear his love for cantorial renditions, sometimes belting them out on stage, occasionally choosing to begin with a Keil Malei. At times, he was seen at the Young Israel of Forest Hills for S'lichos leading up to the High Holidays, as verified by community member Howard Schoenfeld, among others.
Purim time also held a soft spot for Mason, who was seen during the 1990s walking Main Street as part of the now-defunct Purim Parade alongside United States Senator Al D'Amato and activist Dov Hikind.
Mason, like his rabbinical brothers, was a kohen who lived true to the mission of kohanim – to make others in his circle feel blessed. Mason chose to bestow this blessing through his signature wit and humor. His given surname, Maza, is an acronym for mi'zera Aharon HaKohen, literally translated as "from the seed of Aharon HaKohen."
Mason is also credited with tutoring Rav Binyamin Kamenetzky z"l, of Yeshiva of South Shore in English. When Mason was just a second grader at Mesivta Tifereth Jerusalem (MTJ), Rav Binyamin, then known simply as Benny, was a new European immigrant with little English skills. Mason, like his brothers, later acquired s'michah from Rav Moshe Feinstein, zt"l.
At Mason's 1991 nuptials to Jyll Rosenfeld, Rabbi Jonathan Sacks z"l, then Chief Rabbi of the United Kingdom, officiated. Mason is survived by his wife, daughter Sheba Mason, who continues on his comedic path, his sister Gail Schulman, a longtime member of the Young Israel of Kew Gardens Hills, and their brother Rabbi Gabriel Maza, along with many nieces and nephews who continue in the path of Torah.
But the world according to Mason was a bit complicated. Born Yaakov Moshe Maza to a prestigious line of rabbinical figures dating back many generations, Mason toiled with his chosen path of becoming a rabbi despite having led two notable congregations. Not one wanting to upset his holy father, Mason pushed on with his rabbinic duties, only taking the turn to comedy after his father's passing.
Mason never shied away from his Jewish roots, often using his love of his heritage and of Israel in his performances. "Jews are the best dressers in the world. They buy the best clothes, the best homes, the best cars. The best of everything. The only thing is, they get it for less," was one oft-repeated line. "While I have the utmost respect for people who practice the Christian faith, the fact is, as everyone knows, I am as Jewish as a matzah ball or a kosher salami," was another famous one.
"He was an inspiration in a way where you can tell no matter how old you are that you can still accomplish your goals on stage," commented Yanky Flusberg, a fellow frum comedian in his early thirties who met his mentor on the streets of New York several times. "Growing up, he was one of my favorite Jewish comedians. When we met, he would stop and take all the time in the world to talk to me." On his desire to take the stage, Mason told Flusberg, "You do not have to look at age and say, 'Nah, I am too old for this.'" Mason, who began on the Borscht Belt, continued to kvetch on stage well into his 80s, always being an inspiration to newcomers. Flusberg reacted with his favorite line of Mason's, "I have enough money to last the rest of my life, unless I want to buy something." On the topic of wealth and means, Mason famously joked, "Money is not the most important thing in the world. Love is. Fortunately, I love money."
