Quote Analysis Examples in Antony and Cleopatra:
Act I - Act I, Scene 1
🔒 1
"Let Rome in Tiber melt..." See in text (Act I - Act I, Scene 1)
Antony stays Cleopatra's rage with this famous line. He denounces Rome, pledging that Rome could melt into the Tiber river for all he cares, as long as he has Cleopatra. He then goes on to denounce all conventional ways of defining one's power and success — empire, nobility — and claims that real nobility is passionate love. The idea of "melting" is a motif within this play that symbolizes both lovers losing control over their realms. Their power and stability melts away from them as they engage in this love affair.

"My salad days, When I was green in judgment:--cold in blood..." See in text (Act I - Act I, Scene 5)
"Salad days" has come to mean a number of different things, including one's heyday or highest point. However, in this original context, "salad days" refer to a time when one was young, "green" or inexperienced, and passionless. Cleopatra uses this metaphor to refer to her youthful affair with Julius Caesar. Her love and passion for Caesar were not real love as her love for Antony is. Rather, her lack of discretion and passion made him seem greater than he was. Cleopatra contradicts the Chairman's claim that her praises for Antony are similar to her past praise of Caesar by asserting that she has changed and matured.
Act II - Act II, Scene 2
"For her own person, It beggar'd all description: she did lie In her pavilion,--cloth-of-gold of tissue,-- O'er-picturing that Venus where we see The fancy out-work nature..." See in text (Act II - Act II, Scene 2)
Enobarbus is able to describe Cleopatra's extravagant barge, but the woman herself defies description. To "beggar" meant to exhaust or impoverish. In other words, Cleopatra's beauty "impoverishes" the English language because there are no words to describe her. The only way to describe her is to compare her to Venus, the goddess of love who is famed for her beauty. With this introduction, Cleopatra is set up to be the most objectively desirable and beautiful woman on earth.
"Age cannot wither her, nor custom stale Her infinite variety: other women cloy The appetites they feed; but she makes hungry Where most she satisfies..." See in text (Act II - Act II, Scene 2)
Here, Enobarbus describes the addictive quality of Cleopatra's love. He claims that while men grow tired of all other women in the world, loving Cleopatra only makes men desire her more. Notice that this description of Cleopatra's enticing nature comes from a third party rather than Antony. This suggests that Cleopatra is known far and wide for her irresistibly seductive nature. His paean not only foreshadows Antony's eventual return to his lover, but begins to create a mythic image of Cleopatra as the most sensual, and erotically powerful woman in all the world.
Act III - Act III, Scene 6
"He hath given his empire Up to a whore;..." See in text (Act III - Act III, Scene 6)
In this speech, Octavius tells his sister that her husband, Anthony, has abandoned her and Rome for Cleopatra and Egypt. Octavius uses this metaphor to turn Cleopatra into a symbol for the East; her voluptuous and passionate body displaces Antony's Roman empire and becomes his Egyptian empire. Octavius creates a vision of Egypt as the enticing female love object.
Act IV - Act IV, Scene 15
"I am dying, Egypt, dying; only I here importune death awhile, until Of many thousand kisses the poor last I lay upon thy lips...." See in text (Act IV - Act IV, Scene 15)
Antony tells Cleopatra that he is dying and calls her Egypt. In this way, he conflates his lover with the land he claimed and fought for; the land which he lost to Rome. In Antony's final lines, he pledges himself to Cleopatra forever, asking death to wait so that he can kiss her a thousand more times. Antony does not ask for forgiveness for what he has done but only more of his love.
Act V - Act V, Scene 2
"Give me my robe, put on my crown; I have Immortal longings in me..." See in text (Act V - Act V, Scene 2)
By "immortal longings," Cleopatra means that she has desires to die and thus become "immortal." Because "immortal" means undying, everlasting, and deathless, Cleopatra's desire is paradoxical. Using this oxymoron, Cleopatra emphasizes the fame of her love: in dying with her love, Cleopatra makes their story immortal. She claims her crown and robe, symbols of her power, in her death in order to assert not only her immortal love but her immortal fame.

Rebels romp to an easy victory over Ohio U.
Friday, Dec. 19, 1986 | 2 a.m.
Following the Rebels' 105-81 victory Friday night over Ohio University. Bobcats head coach Billy Hahn probably would prefer to use some expletives in his description.
UNLV's defensive pressure against Ohio in the Thomas and Mack Center was superlative to say the least.
A crowd of 16,082 watched the Rebels harass the visitors into 24 turnovers during the first-round game of the Rebel Roundup tournament.
With the victory, 8-0 and top ranked UNLV now faces 4-3 Louisiana Tech for the tournament title at 9 p.m. Saturday.
Tech downed Duquesne 82-64 in the opening game Friday night.
Duquesne (4-2) battles Ohio (4-5) in the consolation game at 6:30 p.m.
A perfect indication of how well things were going for the Rebels could be found by looking at the wife of UNLV head coach Jerry Tarkanian.
Lois Tarkanian is nothing short of a nervous wreck during games, often closing her eyes and constantly rubbing her rosary beads until they nearly disintegrate in her hands.
But by the 10-minute mark of the first half, Lois was eased back in her chair and even managed a few smiles before intermission-----at least they looked like smiles.
Freddie Banks paced UNLV's balanced scoring with 22 points (17 in the first half).
Armon Gilliam added 20 points (16 in the first half). Jarvis Basnight added 15, Gary Graham 13 and Gerald Paddio had 12.
Mark Wade played just 19 minutes, but still had enough time to dish out 11 assists.
John Rhodes paced Ohio with 17 points.
The Rebels never trailed this one.
The Bobcats stayed close the first four minutes and trailed only 8-7.
UNLV then scored nine straight and eventually worked to its astounding 68-40 advantage at intermission.
The second half was nothing more than 20 minutes of exchanging baskets and fouls.
"We quit playing in the second half," Tarkanian said. "We were horrible. We didn't guard anybody. We were soft.
It marked the second straight game UNLV broke the 100-point barrier (a 115-83 victory over Nevada-Reno-Wednesday), but defense unquestionably took the spotlight for the Rebels.
In Friday's opener, Louisiana Tech got 20 points from senior forward Louis Cook and shot 57 percent from the field to post an 82-64 victory over the Duquesne Dukes.
Louisiana Tech, which lost to Arkansas by 26 points earlier this season, sizzled from the floor throughout the entire contest and also converted 3 of 4 three-point attempts.
The Dukes, who have misfired most of the season, would up shooting 36.5 percent.

Pause for a minute in silence to notice all the noises around you that typically you don't give much attention. It may be the rhythmic sound of the clock on the wall, the hum of the refrigerator, the traffic out your window, your kid's blaring music, or the rumbles of your snoring husband on the coach. Likely, their presence is no longer noticeable to your mind because you have become desensitized to them. It is as if the sounds are no longer there - well, maybe with the exception of the blaring rock music and snoring husband. If only those could be so easily ignored.
Since I addressed sensitization last week, this week's exercises will focus on expanding our desensitization skills. Click Here to read last week's article, Controlling Movement Part II. So that we may have a horse that is in balance, I recommend alternating between sensitizing and desensitizing exercises when you work with your horse.
Before I jump into this week's desensitization exercises, I want to readdress some ideas that will help keep your relationship with your horse thriving and strong. Not unlike our interactions with people, it is important to balance the relationship between being and doing. If your time with your horse becomes overrun with "doing" tasks and activities, you may find that your horse loses enthusiasm for your arrival.
As you are learning to do these new exercises with your horse, I encourage you to nurture the "being" part of your relationship, as well. Regardless of how far along you or your horse are in your skills and abilities, placing importance on spend undemanding time together is a true gift that will keep the relationship alive and well.
This week's desensitization exercises will focus on building your horse's confidence around faster-moving, more intense forms of pressure, utilizing your stick and string. This will prepare your horse to be desensitized to more advanced stimuli, such as plastic and flags. The ultimate goal in desensitization is for the horse to be able to maintain the same relaxed posture and demeanor whether an object or stimulus is present or not.
Before moving onto these stage 2 exercises, be sure that your horse can confidently allow you to touch him all over his body with the stick and string as described in Controlling Movement (Part I). Give some extra time to swinging the lead rope and string around your horse's hind legs and rump, as this tends to be a place most horse's lack confidence. Be sure your horse trusts the presence of the stick and string in this particular region, before moving on to the hindquarter exercise of this week.
It is very important you notice the physical changes in your horse while they are emotionally "letting down," as these are indicators of his emotional state and will guide you in determining when to time your release.
The size of my horse's reaction to a given stimulus will influence how far I want to see my horse let down and relax before releasing the pressure. For example, if the first time I try a certain stimulus my horse attempts to run away, I will maintain that stimulus until the horse can stand still and let down to the extent where he licks and chews. Only then, once he has fully let down, will I release. As your horse progresses in these exercises, his reaction will become less and less, until ultimately there is no reaction at all - this is the ultimate goal of desensitization. If my horse just slightly raises his head when I begin the stimulus, I will wait until he can lower his head back to a relaxed position for which I will release the pressure.
Keep in mind that when desensitizing, it is possible to do too few repetitions (i.e. stopping when the horse is still thinking flight), but not to do too many. If in doubt, maintain the motion until you get a conclusive sign from your horse that they have relaxed. I know as well as anyone that the following exercises can become fatiguing to the arms. Try to push through your tired arms and instead of quitting, encourage yourself with the reminder that desensitizing your horse is far cheaper than a gym membership! Just think, "Toned arms and a confident, calm horse." What a deal!
Last, do not make actual contact with the horse in the following exercises. The stage 1 desensitization exercises from a few weeks back were designed to build the horse's trust and confidence to pressure put on him. The soft and gentle motion used in those exercises made it permissible to touch the horse with the stick and string.
Because we are increasing the pressure of the stick and string this week, making contact with the horse may feel uncomfortable and actually prevent the horse from becoming desensitized to the stimulus. In order to learn to ignore something, the horse mustn't be physically hurt by it. This week's exercises are meant to build the horse's trust and confidence to pressure around him. Do not actually touch the horse with the kind of pressure I am suggesting you use in the following exercises.
When desensitizing a horse, keep doing what you're doing, using decreasing stages of pressure until your horse can still and relax. Only then may you release the pressure.
Goal: To be able to rhythmically slap the ground with the stick and string on both sides of the horse's front end while having them stand still and relax.
Instructions: Stand at a 45-degree angle to your horse's front shoulder, looking toward his tail. Assume a relaxed and casual body position. I recommend angling your stance slightly away from the horse, as having your front straight-on to the horse places unnecessary pressure for this type of exercise. Remember, as the leader, you want to convey to your horse a "no big deal" kind of attitude.
Using a fully extended, circular motion with your arm, begin rhythmically slapping the ground with the string out to the side of your horse's shoulder. This should be a quicker and firmer motion, than the slow and gentle desensitization done in Stick and String Desensitization (Stage 1), but should be done about 6-8 feet away from the horse at this stage. Have the lead rope in your hand or draped in the crook of your other arm, where you could grab it if need be.
If after a minute or so your horse is not able to handle this motion any better, you may slow and soften the slapping motion or extend the slapping to 8-10 feet from his body. But you mustn't stop the motion until he can stand still and relax.
Goal: To be able to rhythmically slap the ground with the stick and string around the horse's hindquarters while having them stand still and relax.
Instructions: Stand directly alongside your horse's hip, facing his tail, with the arm closest to his body draped over his rump. Assume a relaxed and casual body position. I recommend angling your stance slightly away from the horse as having your front straight-on to the horse places unnecessary pressure for this type of exercise. Remember, as the leader, you want to convey to your horse a "no big deal" kind of attitude.
Using a fully extended, circular motion with your arm, begin rhythmically slapping the ground with the string out to the side of your horse's hindquarters. This should be a quicker and firmer motion, than the slow and gentle desensitization done in Stick and String Desensitization (Stage 1), but should be done about 6-8 feet away from the horse at this stage. Have the lead rope either in your hand or draped in the crook of your other arm, where you could grab it if needed.
Combining Sides at the Shoulder Position: Stand slightly off to one side, up in front of your horse. That way if your horse tried to go forward you will not get run over. Do not stand directly in front of your horse at this stage. Assume the same "no big deal" casual and relaxed body stance and slap the ground once by the horses left shoulder, then once by his right shoulder. Continue on this way, once on the left, once of the right and so on. To make the motion smooth, allow the stick and string to travel over your head and your horse's head so that it arrives on the other side. Do not try to switch hands to do this exercise as attempting to do so will make the motion cumbersome.
Combining Sides at the Hip Position: Stand near your horse's hindquarters on one side, facing toward his tail. Do not stand directly behind your horse at this stage. With the arm closest to the horse rested over his rump, begin slapping the ground with the stick and string once on the left side of the horse, once on the right, back and forth. Again, do not try to switch hands to do this exercise as attempting to do so will make the motion cumbersome.
Goal: To be able to swing the string rapidly above your horse's head while having them stand still and relax.
Instructions: Stand slightly off to one side, up in front of your horse. That way if your horse tries to go forward, you will not get run over. Assume the same "no big deal" casual and relaxed body stance. Using a fully extended arm, beginning rapidly swinging the string above your horse's head in a helicopter motion. The key to this exercise is to use a committed and rapid arm motion, as this allows momentum to keep the string above the horse's head. A too slow or timid motion will not put enough momentum in the string and will cause the string to bump your horse in the head-resulting in an unhappy horse. It is important the horse not be caused physical discomfort when getting desensitized or they may become suspicious of the motion rather than learning to ignore it.

Spotify announced on Wednesday that it now enjoys over 40 million paying subscribers as of this month. That is a 10 million subscriber increase over the March 2016 figure of 30 million. The service is the top music streaming service globally, and boasts a much faster subscriber growth rate than its biggest rival, Apple Music.
While Apple Music has been growing at a rate of around 2 million new subscribers every two months, with 17 million paid subscribers as of this month, Spotify has easily outpaced the upstart service with a pace of over 3 million new subscribers per month.
Spotify vice president Jonathan Forster earlier this year was quoted as saying Apple Music is "raising the profile of streaming," and is helping, not hurting, his company's business.

Q: Attempting to use MonteCarlo package in R I am trying to run a Monte Carlo simulation of a difference in differences estimator, but I am running into an error. Here is the code I am running:
# Set the random seed
set.seed(1234567)

library(MonteCarlo)

#Set up problem, doing this before calling the function
# set sample size
n<- 400
# set true parameters: betas and sd of u
b0 <- 1 # intercept for control data (b0 in diffndiff)
b1 <- 1  # shift on both control and treated after treatment (b1 in
#diffndiff)
b2 <- 2 # difference between intercept on control vs. treated (b2-this is
#the level difference pre-treatment to compare to coef on treat)
b3 <- 3  # shift after treatment that is only for treated group (b3-this is
#the coefficient of interest in diffndiff)
b4 <- 0  # parallel time trend (not measured in diffndiff) biases b0,b1 but
#not b3 that we care about
b5 <- 0 # allows for treated group trend to shift after treatment (0 if
#parallel trends holds)
su <- 4  # std. dev for errors

dnd <- function(n,b0,b1,b2,b3,b4,b5,su){
#initialize a time vector (set observations equal to n)
timelength = 10
t <- c(1:timelength)

num_obs_per_period = n/timelength #allows for multiple observations in one
#time period (can simulate multiple states within one group or something)
t0 <- c(1:timelength)
for (p in 1:(num_obs_per_period-1)){
t <- c(t,t0)
}
T<- 5 #set treatment period
g <- t >T
post <- as.numeric(g)

# assign equal amounts of observations to each state to start with (would
#like to allow selection into treatment at some point)
treat <- vector()
for (m in 1:(round(n/2))){

}
for (m in 1:(round(n/2))){
treat <- c(treat,1)
}
u <- rnorm(n,0,su) #This assumes the mean error is zero

#create my y vector now from the data
y<- b0  + b1*post + b2*treat + b3*treat*post + b4*t + b5*(t-T)*treat*post +u

interaction <- treat*post

#run regression
olsres <- lm(y ~ post + treat + interaction)
olsres$coefficients

# assign the coeeficients
bhat0<- olsres$coefficients[1]
bhat1 <- olsres$coefficients[2]
bhat2<- olsres$coefficients[3]
bhat3<- olsres$coefficients[4]

bhat3_stderr <- coef(summary(olsres))[3, "Std. Error"]

#Here I will use bhat3 to conduct a t-test and determine if this was a pass
#or a fail
tval <- (bhat3-b3)/ bhat3_stderr

#decision at 5% confidence I believe (False indicates the t-stat was less
#than 1.96, and we fail to reject the null)
decision <- abs(tval) > 1.96

decision <- unname(decision)
return(list(decision))
}

#Define a parameter grid to simulate over
from <- -5
to <- 5
increment <- .25
gridparts<- c(from , to , increment)

b5_grid <- seq(from = gridparts[1], to = gridparts[2], by = gridparts[3])

parameter <- list("n" = n, "b0" = b0 , "b1" = b1 ,"b2" = b2 ,"b3" = b3 ,"b4"
=
b4 ,"b5" = b5_grid ,"su" = su)

#Now simulate this multiple times in a monte carlo setting
results <- MonteCarlo(func = dnd ,nrep = 100, param_list = parameter)

And the error that comes up is:
in results[[i]] <- array(NA, dim = c(dim_vec, nrep)) :
 attempt to select less than one element in integerOneIndex
This leads me to believe that somewhere something is attempting to access the "0th" element of a vector, which doesn't exist in R as far as I understand. I don't think the part that is doing this arises from my code vs. internal to this package however, and I can't make sense of the code that runs when I run the package.
I am also open to hearing about other methods that will essentially replace simulate() from Stata.

A: The function passed to MonteCarlo must return a list with named components. Changing line 76 to
return(list("decision" = decision))
should work

Paul Deussen, nemški filozof, zgodovinar in indolog, * 7. januar 1845, Oberdreis, Nemška zveza, † 6. julij 1919, Kiel, Nemško cesarstvo.
Velja za ustanovitelja Schopenhauerjevega društva ter prvega znanstvenika na zahodu, ki je smatral  indijsko in zahodnjaško mišljenje za enakovredno. Celo življenje je bil prijatelj s Friedrichom Nietzschejem. Spoznal je hindujskega filozofa Svamija Vivekanando in z njim sodeloval.

Življenje
Njegov oče je bil župnik. Šolanje je začel v humanističnem elitnem internatu Schulpforta blizu Naumburga. V internatu je ostal 5 let ter spoznal Friedricha Nietzscheja. Skupaj sta maturirala leta 1864 ter odšla študirat v Bonn, kjer sta bila člana bonnskega združenja nemških visokošolcev Frankonia. Paul je v Bonnu študiral filozofijo, teologijo, filologijo in sanskrt. Sanskrt je klasični jezik Indijske podceline ter klasični jezik hinduizma in drugih indijskih religij (budizem, džainizem). Spada v skupino indoevropskih jezikov in je eden od uradnih jezikov v Indiji.

Deussen je v Tübingenu in Berlinu nadaljeval s študijem klasične filologije, Nietzsche pa je medtem odšel v Leipzig. Deussen je bil kasneje gimnazijski profesor v Mindenu in Marburgu. Ko se je Nietzsche vrnil iz Leipziga, ga je seznanil s Schopenhauerjem in mu priskrbel dobro plačano službo domačega učitelja pri nekem ruskem industrialcu v Genfu. Tam je Deussen kot privatni docent predaval na tamkajšnji univerzi, kamor je tudi uvedel študij sanskrta.

Deussen se je skupaj s svojim učencem, ki naj bi postal inženir, preselil v Aachen. Tam je imel na politehnični šoli predavanja o Schopenhauerjevi filozofiji, čemur pa so sledile hude kritike. Odrejeno mu je bilo, da se mora omejiti na razvoj filozofije od Platona do Kanta in posledično se je odpovedal svojim prvotnim predavanjem. Njegovih predavanj se je udeleževalo na stotine ljudi, pisal jim je pisne povzetke, leta 1887 pa je izdal knjigo Elementi metafizike (Elemnte der Metaphysik). Še eno leto je nadaljeval z delom domačega učitelja, in sicer v Ukrajini, nato pa je pridobil pravico predavati na visoki šoli v Berlinu.

Z Nietzschejem si je redno dopisoval, večkrat pa sta se videla v švicarskem Baslu in leta 1887 v Sils-Mariji, kjer ga je Deussen obiskal skupaj s svojo ženo Mario (roj. Volkmar). Leta 1889 je Nietzsche duševno zbolel; Deussen je bil eden redkih, ki so ga po tem še obiskovali. Istega leta je Deussen postal redni profesor v Kielu, kjer je začel uresničevati svoj življenjski plan, da napiše delo z naslovom Splošna zgodovina filozofije s posebnim poudarkom na religiji Splošna zgodovina  filozofije s posebnim poudarkom na religiji (Allgemeinen Geschichte der Philosophie mit besonderer Berücksichtung der Religionen).

Konec 1892 je Deussen s svojo ženo za pol leta odpotoval v Indijo. V Bombaju je imel pomemben govor za vzpostavitev povezave med racionalistično hinduistično šolo advaito vedanto in njenem razmerju z zahodno metafiziko. Nato je več let delal na svojem prevodu »Sechzig Upanishad's des Veda« (Šestdeset Upanišad iz Ved). Še danes veljavni prevod je dokončal leta 1897.

Leta 1911 je ustanovil Schopenhauerjevo družbo in isto leto začel pisati prvo izdajo svojih zgodovinsko-kritičnih del. Po izbruhu 1. svetovne vojne, ki ga je močno zaznamovala, je izdal avtobiografijo Moje življenje (Mein Leben).

Umrl je v pri 74 letih Kielu v Nemčiji. Pokopan je na hribu Kirchhϋgel zraven evangelijske cerkve v Oberdreisu.

Deussen in advaita vedanta
Avaita vedanta (slo. ne-dvojna vednost) je podveja Vedante, ene od šestih pravovernih vedskih šol v hinduizmu. Izhaja iz filozofsko idealistične in monistične oziroma ne-dualistične in ne-personalne interpretacije absolutne realnosti Brahmana. Glavni predstavnik te linije je indijski filozof Adi Šankara (9. stol.).

Deussen je bil prepričan, da  je advaita vedanta v Indiji vedno prisotna, verjel pa je tudi, da je to primarna vera v Indiji.  To je bilo zgodovinsko zelo vprašljivo, saj je bila advaita vendata prvotno zasnovana le za elito intelektualcev, ki so imeli predsodke do personalističnega bhakti čaščenja v hinduizmu. Te teze ni povzel le v svojem slavnem govoru v Bombaju, ampak tudi v svojem celovitem raziskovalnem delu. Med raziskovanjem je tako spoznal Svamija Vivekanado, ki se je strinjal z njim. Oba pa sta advaito vedanto videla kot jedro hinduizma.

Ever since God healed and delivered me many years ago I have made a point to tell my story, to give my personal testimony. Despite the fact that it occurred many years ago, my story is ongoing. My life is nothing today like it would have been had I remained broken and under the control of my abuser.
But God! Although I was saved at 13, at 19 I was completely untrained in how to choose a husband, completely naïve in male/female interactions, and totally inexperienced in using my gift of discernment. Add to that abusers are known to be charming beyond belief during the dating phase and only gradually build their control, manipulation, and abuse over time. I was married for several months before I saw any inkling of his manipulation, control or abuse. Being a Christian I was not one to simply give up and run home to mommy, not that I'd have been received by mommy.
After spending 14 years doing everything humanly and Biblically possible to save my marriage, I was finally forced to divorce my husband for the safety of me and my children. I spent the next 4 years suffering from PTSD even though it was diagnosed as such back then. In interviewing counselors for my ministry and my book I've been assured that the symptoms I experienced were indeed PTSD. I was a mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual basket case. And, then God reached down and healed and delivered me.
For those of you who still want to show me pity, take a fresh look at me. I'm no longer broken. God has recreated me and given me a new life filled with his presence, one of joy, peace, and freedom of fear.
For those of you who only want to hear the happy ending, I have some questions for you.
How can you appreciate the Victory over Japan without knowing about Pearl Harbor?
How can you appreciate the Victory in Europe without knowing about D-Day, Normandy, or the Jewish Holocaust?
How can you appreciate the Resurrection of Christ without knowing about the Crucifixion?
And how can you possibly appreciate the work God did in my life until you know something of the hell I lived?
So, I will continue to share my story, as God leads me, to those who will listen. And, after I share my history I will tell them the miracle of healing and deliverance God did in my life and the joy, peace, and freedom from fear I now experience with God.

The reasoning for why the program handles unknown titles the way it does.
The required settings to manage unknown titles.
Outlined steps to manage known and unknown titles.
If a user attempts to process unknown titles through the "Watch" folder, the program notifies the user with the following messages in the log window.
This issue is intentionally caused to prevent cluttering the collection with unknown titles.
The majority of users that use the program do not collect unknown titles.
A typo error in the movie title of the file name, which needs to be corrected.
The log message is indicating the title requires user attention.
The user needs to provide metadata, e.g., media title, genre, plot/description..., and artwork images.
The "Watch" folder is used in the automation features of the program and the program is commonly configured for automation.
The user could, inadvertently, end up with a collection mess.
If the user adds unknown titles into a "Scan" folder and attempts to processes them with the auto-scan feature, or attempts to manually fetch them, the program notifies the user with the following messages in the log window.
The reasoning behind this issue is caused by a default setting for an option when the program is installed. This issue is intentionally caused to prevent confusion and disorderliness.
The "Scan" folder is used in the automation features of the program and the program is commonly configured to "Auto-scan" media titles.
Unknown titles require the full awareness of the user to provide metadata, e.g., media title, genre, plot/summary..., and artwork images which is a manual process.
Additional information for other settings relating to user preferences is included in the outlined steps.
If the user has not added a movie collection folder to the program, use the following option.
Most home theater media devices and software programs require movie titles and TV series titles to be in separate locations, i.e., do not mix movies with TV series.
themoviedb must be selected as a primary or a secondary metadata fetching source in order for the program to download artwork, e.g., posters and backdrops/fanart for known movie titles.
Movie artwork is, only, downloaded from themoviedb.
Prioritize the fetching sites per the settings selected in the Settings & Preferences Movies tab, e.g., description, genres, voted score... (trial and error).
RottenTomatoes is broke and will not work. Pete is aware of the issue.
See: "Voted score from RT (Licensed feature?)" (here) for more information.
When this option is enabled, the program will create a metadata file for all movie type media titles.
If you use the "Auto-scan" feature, disable the following option.
All unknown titles can inadvertently have a blank metadata file, but they will, also, be missing artwork, i.e., the poster image and the backdrop/fanart image, and the titles will be highlighted yellow in the library list.
All known movie titles that are missing the poster image and/or the backdrop/fanart image will be highlighted yellow in the library list.
The above two (2) issues results in a collection mess and is what causes a state of confusion and disorderliness. After the titles have been fetched, the mixed media titles can not be readily identified in the library list, they are all highlighted yellow.
See: "Introduction" (here) for more information.
See: "Red, Yellow, and Orange Highlights" (here) for more information.
The following option is required to display highlights.
The following option is required to generate snapshots from a known or unknown title to use as a backdrop/fanart image.
If the following option is enabled, the program will, also, process single-file titles.
The program will create the top-level folder for the file and name it during the fetching process.
If the media titles have not been added to the "Scan" folders, add them though Windows Explorer.
The new titles will display in your library list and be highlighted red, indicating missing metadata.
All existing titles, if they are properly managed, will have no highlight or be highlighted yellow, missing artwork.
If the new titles were recently added to a "Scan" folder, sort the library list by the "Added to Library" date to group the new titles at the top of the list.
Use the scroll bar (bottom of list) to look for the "Added to Library" column header.
Fetch metadata for a red highlighted title.
During the fetching process, one of the following pop-ups may display.
If needed, select the correct title in the list.
Click the appropriate button to continue.
If you are processing a known movie title, enter a imdb ID.
If you are processing an unknown title, e.g., obscure movie title, DVD magazine, sporting event video, youtube video, family video..., click the "Cancel" button.
Yellow, indicating missing artwork, i.e., poster and/or backdrop/fanart image.
Artwork not available for downloading at themoviedb.
Artwork must be provided by the user.
Orange, indicating missing the primary language audio track.
Add missing metadata with the "Metadata" text editor.
The "Media title" field is what the program uses for renaming the folder and files. The entered name will be displayed in the program's library list and it is, also, used in the media devices and the media software programs as the displayed title name.
Add other information or edit as needed.
Be sure to click the "Save" button (top right) after adding information or making changes.
Add missing images, e.g., poster and/or backdrop/fanart with the "Artwork Manager" or "Extract and choose thumbnails" tool.
Use Google to find poster and backdrop/fanart images.
Select the image in the list to display it in the viewer.
The "Add By Browsing" button is for local or network stored images.
The "Add From Fetchers" button will search and display images that are available for downloading from themoviedb.
"Fetchers" is used in the button description, because the "Artwork Manger," also, fetches artwork from thetvdb for TV series titles.
If you do not like an image, change the "Mode" from "Add" to "Replace" (button, left side, bottom).
Notice the text change on all of the buttons.
The selected image in the list will be replaced.
Use to generate backdrops/fanart images for known and unknown titles.
This process will take a while. When the images are displayed, review the snapshots and select an image.
Rename the title folder and files.
If you are processing an unknown, obscure, title, check the title name in the "New name" data entry field. The media title is the name you entered for the title in the "Metadata" text editor, step D.
The renaming format is obtained from the settings in the Settings & Preferences Organization tab.
Export to other metadata formats.
Related settings for other metadata formats are found in the Settings & Preferences Metadata tab. Additional tabs will be displayed after the HTML tab if any of the following options are enabled.
Repeat steps, C - G, for additional titles.
Re-sort the library list by "Title" name (see step B and adapt for title names).
Disable the option to create blank metadata.
See: "Movie Boxsets, Nested & Group Folders, Convert to Collection" (here) for more information.

Q: How to use / in a Datomic query? This query
[:find ?p ?af
 :where [?p :person/age ?pa]
        [?p :person/father ?f]
        [?f :person/age ?fa]
        [(/ ?pa ?fa) ?af]]

returns only rounded (to 0 decimal places) values for ?af, so I can't add sth. like
 [(< 0.25 ?af)]
 [(< ?af 0.5)]

to the :where clause.
I have tried casts to various types inside the query like
[(double ?pa) ?pa2]

but this only affects the result type and never removes the rounding.
If you know something and are experienced, I have quite a few more (especially type related) problems with Datomic. However I have not found a work-around for this division-query problem (except dividing after querying) and I really hope that it is not owed to the early development-stage of Datomic. I'd guess because Datomic does not support the Ratio type, they are rounding, but a few decimal places would be really nice.
I am using Datomic with Clojure.
EDIT I found a work-around for this, however I would still like to know why it is necessary.
Work-around:

*

*Use clojure.core//
[:find ?p ?af
 :where [?p :person/age ?pa]
        [?p :person/father ?f]
        [?f :person/age ?fa]
        [(clojure.core// ?pa ?fa) ?af]]

But I certainly want to know which / is called (when invoked without a fully qualified namespace) and where I can find it's documentation so that I can learn about other possible problems with other operators.
EDIT2: Invoking an exception by designing a query to divide by zero, I found out that the static method clojure.lang.Numbers/quotient is invoked.
How should I have known this?
It seems like Datomic is not opensource, at least I could not find the source-code in the jar file.
Using clojure.tools.trace on datomic.datalog, I found out that the invoke happens by resolving / from datomic.extensions. In datomic.extions, / is defined as clojure.core/quot, which invokes clojure.lang.Numbers/quotient.
All this is undocumented as far as I am concerned.

A: Indeed, it is an undocumented feature. Stuart Halloway has just confirmed this in the Datomic group:

Documentation for the operators available in query is missing, as you
  discovered.  We are working on that, thanks for the report. The /
  operator currently performs integer division only, and we are looking
  into ways to make that richer without exposing consumers to a type
  (ratio) that most JVM languages do not have.

Regarding the correct workaround I will keep this answer updated.

South Side boys handle Fayette-Ware
Geordan Reed led the Hawks with 28 points
South Side boys handle Fayette-Ware Geordan Reed led the Hawks with 28 points Check out this story on jacksonsun.com: http://www.jacksonsun.com/story/sports/high-school/2015/01/16/boys-hs-basketball-south-side-beats-fayette-ware/21905577/
Josh Lemons, The Jackson Sun Published 10:48 p.m. CT Jan. 16, 2015 | Updated 11:46 p.m. CT Jan. 16, 2015
Every team wants to knock off a defending state champion. South Side head coach DaMonn Fuller is well aware of this.
He just wants to make sure his players are as aware of that as he is.
After blowing a 13-point fourth quarter lead, barely holding on to knock off District 14-AA rival Fayette-Ware 79-74 Friday night in Jackson, Fuller took a little extra time relaying that fact to his team in the locker room after the win.
"The kids have got to understand that everybody is trying to beat the defending state champions," Fuller said. "When you come out and you think that somebody's trying to allow you to win the game just because you're the state champion, it don't work like that."
The Wildcats came out of the gate, showing just how much they wanted to knock off the champs, building a quick 7-0 lead before the Hawks had a chance to respond.
But they did respond, erasing a seven-point deficit, quickly turning that into a seven-point lead after the first eight minutes thanks to the post play from Geordan Reed's 13 first quarter points.
Reed chipped in nine more in the second quarter to help the Hawks stretch their lead to 10 at the break.
Reed frequently used back door cuts that were fed from Western Kentucky signee Chris McNeal.
"It's just what we go over in practice every day," Reed said. "He just gives me the ball and I finish."
Reed finished with a game-high 28 points.
And although McNeal finished in double figures (11 points), he looked to get his teammates like Reed involved. Looking to shoot was a second or possibly third option for him Friday night.
"Chris came out and did what we asked him to do," Fuller said. "Chris has to play his role like we asked him to do and he's getting better at it.
"We're still working, trying to do all we can to get to get back to the state tournament."
South Side did a good job of limiting the Wildcats' Cortavious Miller in the first half but the big post player was a matchup problem for the Hawks in the second half scoring 12 of his 14 points in the final 16 minutes.
"Coach Stokes and [his team] came in and did a great job tonight against us. We were fortunate to come out with this win."
South Side 69, Fayette-Ware 33
The clock ran for the final eight minutes due to the mercy rule as the Lady Hawks built a 63-27 lead through the first three quarters. Asia Currie finished with a game-high 15 points. Tamia Curry and Nikindra Taylor both added 11 for the Lady Hawks.

Nearly 1,900 American tourists visited Iran over first nine months of Iranian year: Foreign Ministry
Wednesday, 02 January 2019 5:34 PM [ Last Update: Wednesday, 02 January 2019 6:07 PM ]
Foreign tourists at Persepolis in Shiraz, central Iran
Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qassemi says nearly 1,900 American tourists visited Iran over a period of nine months starting March 2018.
"During the first nine months of the current [Iranian] year, 1,879 American tourists traveled to Iran" Qassemi told IRNA on Wednesday.
He said that the tourists included cultural tourists, ones visiting monuments, ecotourists, pilgrims as well as those attending scientific conferences and seminars.
According to Qassemi, of the 1,879 American tourists, 511 were pilgrims.
With nearly two dozen special sites that have been registered on the World Heritage List of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), Iran has been frequently named as a must-visit travel destination.
The country is attracting camera-wielding Westerners in droves, where ancient bazaars, museums, mosques, monuments, gardens and palaces along with historical ruins, amazing rural landscapes and bustling cities provide a feast for the eyes to behold and be enchanted with.
Iran is one of the most secure countries in a region ridden with violence.
A report on global security, which was released in November, portrayed Iran as safe as much of Western Europe for travelers.
In November, Iran also started to issue electronic visa for foreign tourists as part of a larger initiative to cope with the restrictions imposed by the US administration on those traveling to the country.
Head of Iran's Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Organization (ICHTO) Ali Asghar Mounesan said the plan was aimed at facilitating travels to Iran by foreign tourists. He also expressed hope that the move could play a leading role in attracting more foreign tourists to the country.
Iran issues electronic Visas for foreign tourists in 110 domestic and international airports. There is no difference between Iran's electronic and normal visas in terms of duration. The new Visa provides foreign tourists with a chance to visit Iran without any concern.

Right to Heal Tour 2012 - Fighting for service members and veterans right to heal.
published by Aaron Hughes on 04/26/12 4:12pm
Posted to:
The Right to Heal Tour has already jumped of to a great start in Bellingham, WA, Portland, OR, and Atlanta, GA. Please come out to partisipate in our tour as we pass through your area. You can follow the tour at www.righttoheal.org
The right to heal tour will take Iraq Veterans Against the War's Operation Recovery Campaign message that service members and veterans have a right to heal around the country. At each stop veterans will share their experiences in the military and lead a teach-in on the military's mental health crises and related suicide epidemic.
Large portions of our military members and veterans are suffering from Military Sexual Trauma (MST), Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and/or Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) yet their right to heal is violated on a mass scale. While traumatized service members have been forced to deploy against the best interest of their health and well being throughout the Global War on Terror now with the return of troops from Iraq the military is trying to skirt it's responsibilities to care for service members. Military leaders and service providers are giving inadequate care, pushing improper diagnoses, and forcing thousands of service members to leave the military with no care or benefits by pursuing punitive discharges for troops who really need medical and mental health care.
Fort Hood. Texas, the Army's largest base has been hit especially hard with trauma. Regular and repeated deployments over the past 10 years have left soldiers there particularly vulnerable to traumatic injuries leading Fort Hood to have the highest suicide rate.
Veteran Organizers who have worked with active duty troops at Fort Hood as well as former Fort Hood soldiers will embark on the Right to Heal Tour, sharing the stories of the work happening at Fort Hood and our upcoming Summer Outreach Drive. Operation Recovery organizers will be out at Fort Hood all summer long meeting active duty troops, collecting testimonies, and building power to take on Fort Hood's General Campbell and stop the violation of service members right to heal.
Public support is essential; through supporters bombarding General Campbell with thousands of emails and postcards we were able to win a "virtual town hall meeting" in January. Now we need to take this further to insure General Campbell not only hears what his soldiers need but also does something about it. Stand with us for soldiers' right to heal.
All are encouraged to attend and ask questions.

Jim Reeves is among the artists featured in this photo. Also shown are The Browns. It shows the ABBOTT Stringband Music Show. On the left of the picture is Leo Jackson, Jim's guitar player.
Everyone called this place the "D Street Corral." I saw "It's a Beautiful Day" there in November 1972. I think the opening band was "Brown Sugar," from Portland.
My Grandpa Arkie Benedict played there often with his Country and Western Band "Arkie and the Jolly Cowboys"
Tommy Kizziah and his West Coast Ramblers played at Division Street when it was owned by Charlie Ceciliani and his wife. He did a live radio show from the stage there on Saturday nights right after the Grand Ole Opry.
I saw Paul Revere & The Raiders there in 1963 or at the latest the first half of 1964. I just stumbled on this site. It brings back memories.
I can't begin to count the Saturday Nights I spent out there work'n out to "Paul Revere" ....."The Kingsmen", "Don and The Goodtimes" and little known local bands like "The Sonics", "The Hearsemen", "The Viscounts", and I can't even begin to tell you all the Girls I met out on that hard wood dance floor.
I'm 58 now and still have all the old 33's from the sixties and everytime I listen to them I think of D Street. If you want go back even futher my Mom n Dad used to dance out there to "Heck Harpers" band to name a few.
The Division Street Corral is no more. It was demolished in late March 2007.
We also backed 'Jan and Dean' , and Bobby Bare in 1963, on their Northewest tours. Jan and Dean were kinda sad without their reverb and echo. Bobby Bare had '500 Miles' and 'Detroit City' around that time. Under the pseudonym Bill Parsons, he recorded "All-American Boy". The crowds really loved that song.
We would play at the Division Street Corral one night, then the Cascade Club, the next.or vice-versa.
Saturday night, July 16, 1960: It was hot as cars filled with teenagers drove past the large maroon sign featuring a white rearing horse, up the gravel lane and into the packed parking lot of the Division Street Corral.
The boys wore clean Levi's and collared shirts; the girls, billowing skirts over stiff petticoats starched with unflavored Jell-O. They parked and stood in line under the awning, waiting to hand over $2 to get into the dance hall.
Johnny Cash was in town, and Portland's youth had gathered once again on Southeast Division Street for a night of dancing, music and flirting.
"We went there to show off what we were dressed in, to see what boy we could get to smile at us," Barbara Hicks, 64, said.
Fifty years ago, the Corral was the hot spot for Portland-area youth on Saturday night.
"It was where we went to see and be seen," Hicks said. "It was always crowded."
Now, all that's left are a collection of memories and a shell of a building. Soon, the building will be gone.
"It was the thing to do"
Hicks, along with friends Carole McInerney, 62, and Punki McNnamee, 63, drove from Lake Oswego and Estacada to dance at the Corral once or twice a month through their high school years in the late 1950s and early 1960s.
"It was the thing to do," McInerney said. "I ended up with friends from all over the Portland area that I would not have met otherwise."
Hicks and McNnamee agreed the Corral provided them with an avenue to self-confidence. Going out, meeting new people and learning how to develop social skills were all part of becoming an adult, and the Corral was a place to hone those skills, Hicks said.
For others, like Nancy Tice, "it was the music and to be able to dance," that drew her to the Corral on Saturday nights.
"It was a convenient social outlet," Tice said. "You could go every week. It was a cool place to hang out."
"It was just fun," McInerney said. "It was such fun to go out there."
Once inside, the teens were greeted by dim lighting and a vast, hardwood floor. That dance floor -- the second-largest in the West -- was so highly polished you could see your reflection in it, the result of owner Charles Ceciliani's daily waxing. The smell of wax and perfume filled the hall.
The decor was country-western, with bearskins on the walls and Texas Longhorns and deer heads hanging from the rafters.
The bandstand, directly across from the entrance, was low enough that listeners could rest their arms on top of it or even reach out and touch the performers. If dancers were hungry or thirsty, they could make their way over to the snack bar, off to the side. Soda pop, hot dogs, candy bars and cigarettes were available, but no alcohol was served. Of course, that didn't stop some teens from slipping out to the parking lot for a sip of Olympia beer or Thunderbird wine.
Charles Ceciliani, who died in 1995, conceived the idea for a Western dance hall in the late 1940s. With support from his wife, Adoline, Ceciliani built the Corral, at 17119 S.E. Division St., and opened it in December 1948. In later years Charles and Adoline's four children -- Art, Joanna, Carl and Jeannie -- worked at the hall, making it a family business.
About 2,400 people showed up on opening night to dance to the music of local country-western performers Arkie and His Jolly Cowboys, said the oldest of the four Ceciliani siblings, Art Ceciliani.
From that night on, through snow in the winter and even a lightning strike, the Corral was open every Saturday night until 1979, he said.
A television program, "Circle 8 Hoe-down" featuring local TV personality and "cowboy" Heck Harper, was broadcast from the Corral from July-September of 1957 on KGW.
In the late 1950s, as the popularity of country music began to wane and rock 'n' roll became king, the Corral adapted.
Starting with Bobby Darin's 1959 performance, the Corral transitioned into showcasing more rock bands like Paul Revere and the Raiders and the Kingsmen. Roy Orbison performed at the Corral in 1963.
"He had a large entourage," said Tice, 59. "He had on the trademark thick sunglasses, and the suit he wore was kind of a dusty green mint color. We got to be very close to the stage, it was a fantastic show. They played the popular music of the late '50s and early '60s and I just loved it."
Tice grew up in Southeast Portland, and often danced at the Corral on Saturday nights in 1963 and 1964.
The Corral continued to draw crowds through the 1960s and 1970s. But as the 1970s drew to a close, so did the Corral's heyday as a dance hall.
A fire in 1979 that was later determined to be arson destroyed parts of the roof and the inside of the hall. The culprits were never caught.
While the hall was closed, it was slowly renovated.
"Dad retired, took his time and slowly repaired it," Carl Ceciliani said. "It took years."
The hall reopened several years later and was rented out to groups for various events. But dances were never held again.
Today it is the site of a weekend flea market, filled with vendor booths. The flea market will continue to operate until Jan. 1.
The Ceciliani family sold the property Oct. 10 to local developer Gary Osterholm, who plans a residential development after demolishing the hall early next year.
"I just thought the time was right," said 85 year-old Adoline Ceciliani. "I couldn't take care of it like I used to."
As the crowd converged on the bandstand on that hot July night in 1960, Hicks and her friends made their way to the edge of the stage. She was close enough to touch the performers and even picked up broken pieces of Cash's tortoise-shell-colored guitar picks.
The night was so hot that Cash asked if he could remove his jacket. The crowd yelled back its approval, so he took it off, folded it and draped it across a chair behind him.
An "older" woman of about 25 in a tight red dress began to shout, "Take it all off!" Hicks recalled.
"That was considered just over and above anything that was acceptable and they got her right on out of there. . . . Now they'd be throwing their underwear up there and nobody would think twice."
Hicks returned to the Corral about five years ago to see what had become of it.
"I thought it'd be a nostalgia trip, but I could've just sat there and cried," Hicks said. "That beautiful, beautiful hardwood floor had been stomped to sawdust."
The hall, now partitioned into cubicles for the flea market vendors, smells musty, nothing like the blend of floor wax and perfume she recalls. The bandstand is nearly invisible, taken over by a booth. Several of the stage lights still hang from the rafters, but they no longer work, having been melted by the fire.
"I know logically, it could never go back to what it was," Hicks said. "Even if they built another new one on the same lot, it can never be what it was."
"Those were sweeter, more innocent times," Tice said. "But the times have changed."
Hi, my name is Joanna Ceciliani. I am the daughter of Adoline and Charley Ceciliani who actually bought the land and built the Division Street Corral. My Mother and Father built it and hired Byron Benedict (Arkie) and his band as the first band to play there and as the house band for the first several years. I have many pictures and the history and many more pictures if you like. Arkie was the first band to ever play at the Division Street Corral built by Charley and Adoline Ceciliani. Opening night was in December of 1948.
Arkie was a neighbor and theyhired him to be the first band to play there. They were upset a few years later (1954ish) when Mom and Dad had to let them go because the times were changing and Rock and Roll was starting to demand they change bands. Mom and Dad liked Arkie and his wife very much but it was a business decision they had to make at that time to stay in business. It was then that Mom and Dad started hiring from Nashville to include Johnny Cash, Ray Price, Hank Thompson and many many many others.
The dance hall was operational as a dance hall until 1979 when an arsonist set fire to the hall. The building was then leased until October of 2006 when my Mother finally sold the property.
I grew up in the house in front of the dance hall until I left and got married. My Mother lived there until it was sold.
I can remember back in 1964-65 when Buck Owens and his Buckaroo's were chased out of this place when someone sent tear gas through the place just after intermission. Everybody was searching to getl the person who did this. I was inside. 1000 people were trying to exit the place at once.
The Epix also performed several times at the "D" Street Corral in 1964- 1965.....on occasion, we were pleasantly surprised to be joined onstage by Jack Ely, a friend of our manager, and the voice of the Kingsmen's version of Louie Louie, and we were pleased to have the opportunity to back him while he performed his version of the song.
My name is Tom Wayne (Trullinger). I was the lead vocal for "Vegas",one of the most popular bands to play at D-Street 1972 -1975. We consistently drew 1500 to 2000 kids and at times breaking fire code violations. We played there an average of once a month...sometimes twice.
The Cecilianis remained my friends til about 1998 when I lost touch and Mr C died.
I ran into Paul Revere in Branson a couple of years ago where I had a show. I went to his show and hung out for a while with him and Bill Medley. Paul had some great stories about D-Street.
It's a shame D-Street couldn't have been saved for historical reasons if nothing else. I made an effort to buy it in 1997 from the Cecilianis, but they weren't ready to let it go. It would be nice to get in touch with their daughter just ot see how she and her family are doing.
I saw the Temptations there, if I remember correctly, more than one time. Those were the days!
I was reading a comment on the page about the "It's a beautiful Day" concert in 1972. I was at that show and B.B. King was the headliner. The first band up was "Brown Sugar", then "It's a Beautiful Day" and finally, B.B. King. It was awesome.
I was stationed at Portland Air Base from 1961 to 1965, and hung at D Street. A Nancy Tice is referenced in the information Anna Prior provided from interviews. If it's who I think it I was with her when Roy Orbison appeared at D Street. Nancy describes the suit he was wearing accurately. I can't believe D Street made to the web.

Wiggling and jiggling in the Fremont parade
Posted on June 20, 2006 by Meps
The table under the trees was covered with healthy snacks: Bananas, apples, carrots, bread, and cream cheese. It was free to those of us who'd participated in the Fremont Solstice Parade, so Barry and I stopped for a snack.
Picking up a piece of bread, I turned to the cream cheese. A fellow with the same idea had just discovered that there was no knife to spread it with, and we joked about our predicament. He ended up using his fingers, while I picked up a carrot and used it as an implement.
Our choice of solutions was appropriate: He was naked. I was not.
Seattle's Fremont parade is famous — some would say infamous — for the cadre of nude bicyclists who paint their bodies and ride the parade route every year. This year, I saw an awful lot of people who forgot both their body paint and their bicycles. The fellow next to me at the snack table was one of them.
I love a parade, and of all the parades I've ever seen, this one is my favorite. There are three guidelines and one recommendation. The guidelines: No printed words or logos, no animals, and no motorized vehicles. The recommendation: "Clothing/costumes always encouraged."
That last one is the kicker. Every year, lots of people come to see the nude cyclists. But the parade is not a nudist event, it's a celebration of creativity and freedom. Still, the city seems to suspend indecent exposure laws that day.
A bus driver once had me in stitches, describing a gaggle of nudists at his bus stop. They were headed for Fremont, undressed to the nines. "They all carried little towels to sit on," he said. Since hygiene wasn't an issue, he let them board the bus. The problem was, they weren't regular riders, so they all crowded around the front of the bus, asking him questions. Poor guy, he just wanted them to sit down — since he was seated, the view at eye level was distracting, at best. All that wiggling and jiggling, every time the bus hit a bump.
In the weeks before the parade this year, indecision ruled my life. Should we be in the parade, dressed in colorful clothes or costumes? Tina, of the Zydeco Locals, invited us to dance around her float. But I also wanted to watch the parade with friends. I waffled back and forth, finally deciding to watch the parade.
I still wanted to participate in some fashion, so the night before the event, Barry and I showed up to help push the floats a mile down the road into position, a midnight process requiring lots of flashlights, orange vests, and volunteers.
When we arrived at the old Power House, we were lucky to run into Kristin, who we hadn't seen for over a year. She recruited us for a float decorated with bamboo and hung with dozens of bells and gongs, most of them made from recycled fire extinguishers and alarm bells. There were about eight of us pushing the float, and when we stopped, we had a blast ringing the bells. We were followed by a rolling phone booth (for talking to God) and the Pentagon. They were not associated.
The float move was so much fun, I changed my mind about being in the parade. The following morning, we borrowed some earplugs, as per instructions, and rode our bikes down to Fremont. The float was buzzing with activity. Rodman, whose bell and gong collection adorned the float, handed us a couple of beribboned (I've always wanted to use that word) shirts and held a little bell-ringing orientation. "Listen to the space between the bells," he said. His goal was to create a beautiful sound, not a cacophony of noise.
It wasn't until later, when we returned home, that we found out who Rodman is. He's a well-known local glass artist, the great-grandson of Louis Tiffany himself. He holds a Ph.D. in biology, but he turned away from that field when he discovered glass-blowing and has been a full-time artist for many years. Rodman is the artist responsible for the neon Rapunzel on the Fremont bridge.
After donning our beribboned (that wonderful word again) shirts, we began to add ribbons to our entire outfit: Hair, hats, limbs — Barry even tied one around his neck like a tie. Once we were costumed, we were able to take a look at the rest of the parade participants.
Kristin was flitting about in a winged faerie costume. Another fellow was wearing a Utilikilt and a headdress with ram's horns. Beside us were several women seated at old-fashioned typewriters. On closer inspection, they were sitting on lawnmowers, and instead of paper, there were muffin tins in their typewriters. I think they were the percussion section for a band made up of people with boxes on their heads playing accordions.
Across the street, competing samba bands began to practice. A group of men in drag posed for pictures — how could they walk the entire parade route wearing those 10-inch platform shoes? The Million Belly March went by, hundreds of belly dancers wearing red. I'd never seen so many pierced and tattooed navels. George Bush and his cabinet were there, too, wearing prison stripes and chained together.
There was so much to see, my brain went into overload. There were people shambling about, dressed in grass and moss. Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz hung out with something more like a tiger than a lion. One float had about a half dozen naked people. I tried not to stare at their nipple rings.
When the parade finally started, I put my earplugs in to avoid hearing damage from the bells. The only problem was, the earplugs blocked out a lot of other sound. I could see Artis the Spoonman, ahead of us. He was jamming on his spoons, but I couldn't hear a single "clack." Behind our float marched an entire band in vibrant blue Alpine costumes with knee socks, but I couldn't tell what kind of music they were playing.
The Fremont parade caters to the left-leaning political crowd, and the crowd cheered when Dick Cheney, who was right in front of us, fell down and had a heart attack. In contrast to the Pentagon float, there was a giant peace dove. Well, at first, I mistook that one for a seagull. The clowns, who I'd seen in a previous year, dress in hot pink riot gear and carry nerf batons.
The weather was perfect and the sidewalk was thronged with thousands of people. I lost count of how many jumped out to take our picture. I also lost count of the number of naked people. I noticed an intriguing family: Mom, Dad, and their young son. Mom was fully dressed. Son was wearing pants, but no shirt. And Dad had left his clothes (and evidently his bicycle) at home.
Suddenly, I realized that I'm prescient.
A couple of days earlier, a limerick (see "Ding Dong Ditty") had popped into my head, the first in over a month. At the time, I couldn't figure out where it came from — a slightly dirty little ditty about a naked man ringing a bell. But when the lines came into my head, I wrote them down, amazed at how easily they rhymed. Now, here I was, and here were the bells, and here were the naked men. Aha!
The realization was what I'd call "a Fremont moment." The neighborhood has a kind of woo-woo energy, and I guess I'd tapped into it.
The whole day felt like a kaleidoscope, a riot of color and sound. I love the humor and joy, it's like a shot in the arm of pure creativity.
And all those naked people — mostly men — wiggling and jiggling? Well, I don't think it's very creative, but it sure is funny!

In her latest offering, Ice Princess, Michelle Trachtenberg plays the role of bookish, mathematically inclined high schooler Casey Carlyle, who puts her dreams of attending Harvard on hold when she realizes that she'd rather be skating – and this causes her literature professor mom (Joan Cusack) to freak out. In addition to all of this, Casey has to win the respect of highly competitive schoolmates and suffer through the rigorous training of her form ice-pro coach Tina (Kim Cattrall).
Although many might think that Hollywood's usual smoke-and-mirrors techniques were on order, according to the actress, preparation for her latest offering entailed more than emoting.
Before jumping to any conclusions about Trachtenberg's mettle, one must consider that she was a non-skater before taking the role in Ice Princess – and this posed risks both on and off screen.
Ice Princess releases in theaters March 18.

The post-graduate work permit (PGWP) program of Canada let foreign students who had finished their graduation to get the work permit. The graduates could work for the employer in any province of Canada.
It is a implausible program that increases the competitiveness of the post secondary institutions of Canada and it is an important step for the foreign graduates who are looking to get the permanent residency of Canada.
To get a PGWP after completing graduation in Canada, a foreign student should have a valid study permit while they apply for their PGWP. They should undertake full time education in Canada. They had passed the study program which is of minimum eight months of duration at either private or public secondary institution. they should apply for the work permit within three months of getting the written confirmation from their college or institution.
The duration of this PGWP is equivalent in the length to the study program completed, upto three years. Any program that is more than two years would result in three year work permit.
It is significant for the students to note that here the length of the study program that matters, and not the actual time that it takes a foreign student to finish the program.
Graduates might submit their applications online or they can also apply at the foreign visa office. Students who had concluded their study program and who had applied for their work permit are allowed to work in Canada while the IRCC process their application.
Unlike the foreign students, the spouses or com law partners of PGWP holders are not entitled to work permits. They would be eligible only if the holder of the PGWP program get the skilled job and could prove this to the IRCC by submitting a job offer along with the copy of pay slips.

PETA Awards Bradley Cooper
Popular actor and recently-turned director Bradley Cooper has earned himself the 'Oscat award from animal rights organisation People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). This award has been presented to him for directing his dog in A Star Is Born.
According to people.com, PETA's Film and Television Division on Tuesday awarded Cooper the 'Oscat' award "for his enlightened decision to cast his own canine companion in A Star Is Born rather than using one supplied by a notorious animal exhibitor".
Cooper cast Charlie as his dog in the self-directed musical drama, which also stars Lady Gaga, because they already had the bond he wanted to portray on the big screen.
Cooper and Gaga are nominated for Oscars as well for their roles in A Star Is Born, which has been nominated for the Best Picture. Cooper is not nominated in the directing category.
The 91st Academy Awards will be held here on February 24. It will be telecast in India on Star Movies.

Dealing with the regional land surfaces heat fluxes over inhomogeneous land surfaces in arid and semiarid areas is an important but not an easy issue. In this study, one parameterization method based on satellite remote sensing and field observations is proposed and tested for deriving the regional land surface heat fluxes over inhomogeneous landscapes. As a case study, the method is applied to the Dunhuang experimental area and the HEIFE (Heihe River Field Experiment, 1988-1994) area. The Dunhuang area is selected as a basic experimental area for the Chinese National Key Programme for Developing Basic Sciences: Research on the Formation Mechanism and Prediction Theory of Severe Climate Disaster in China (G1998040900, 1999-2003). The four scenes of Landsat TM data used in this study are 3 June 2000, 22 August 2000, and 29 January 2001 for the Dunhuang area and 9 July 1991 for the HEIFE area. The regional distributions of land surface variables, vegetation variables, and heat fluxes over inhomogeneous landscapes in arid and semi-arid areas are obtained in this study.

Dabin has long been a producer that has pushed the boundaries of sound. He's shifted his focus over the years and settled in on his own signature style that's caught the eyes and ears of esteemed talents such as Illenium, who has taken Dabin on tour and continues to work alongside him. I've been waiting for another big project from Dabin and today it came in the form of his Pyres EP. Complete with two tracks, Dabin's iconic style is displayed in full. Each track is equally as powerful, but share a slight difference in tone. This is the EP you need for the weekend. He brought all the feels on it!

In the morning we go along the road used by Francisco de Orellana on his journey to discover the Amazonas River, landscapes with mystery and one of the best refuges of sweet water describe this incredible ecosystem . Upon arrival we will make a short walk to recognize the flora and fauna native from the place. Thermal pools with healing properties, unique in the world are waiting for you in this incredible adventure.


Just want to start the page so people can post their ideas for SA settings.
I was thinking a few settings.
Another one from my teens would be tripods, I loved this show back in the day, it's a pity the BBC refused to make the final book, but I hear Disney are now in pre production for a movie.
Maybe the movie After Earth?
The Last Legionary Series by Douglas Hill. I read it as a youngster and years later I found them on Ebay or something in one volume and read them again. Individually they are called Galactic Warlord, Deathwing Over Veynaa, Day of the Starwind and Planet of the Warlord. Its not hard Scifi, its pulpy and fun but its got a strong story arc and good characters. I also think the draw of possibly being the last of your kind will lend itself to decent mood and investigation elements. I would like to give it a go, time and energy permitting. Characters could be Legionaries or helping one single legionary. I could see the former with replacements to dead characters being found among allies.
How about Day of the Triffid then?
Thats got that post apocalyptic feel too, plus big rubbery man eating plants!
Logan's Run movie (1976). Eventually I'll get around to reading the original trilogy of novels.
It would be interesting to see how easily one could adapt the game to suit Star Trek:TOS.
For those who can stomach extreme camp: Galaxina, Starcrash, Battle Beyond the Stars.
Looking over the list, I guess I'm unapologetically Old School in my preferences.
Ooo theres some interesting things there! Logan's Run sounds fascinating, I wonder if I could run it without devolving into Paranoia I hope so, that makes me think of Planet of the Apes too. I Didn't know there were novels for Logan's Run, I will have to check those out.
Original Star Trek is something I hadn't even thought about, sounds great though. Maybe even Star Trek Enterprise would work.
Perhaps the best option would be something like Star Trek TOS, you could have a totally new world every session, only limited by your imagination, or something like the other great 1960s scfi show the time tunnel.
Yeah I remember liking it, I don't think there was much of it though, maybe one series or something?
For the totally wierd how about Hitch Hikers Guide to The Galaxy.
Gerry Anderson's U.F.O. would be brill.
The Muppets' Pigs in Spaaaaaaaacccceeee!!!

several 2000 Ad and Star lord strips could be interesting Strontium Dog, sam slade Robohunter, Mach 1 Or even Judge Dredd himself .
I feel like High Crusade is a good bet for a crossover AFF/SA game.
A retooled, greatly-simplified version of Space Quest. That may actually be a worthwhile pursuit.
"Zardos" This would bring new meaning to the Zed spell, and would make for a very strange game.
