Basketball Greats, Golf Preview Headline GNAC Insider
Western Washington sophomore Kelsey Rogers leads the GNAC in scoring and lead off Tuesday night's program.
PORTLAND, Ore. - GNAC Insider returned Tuesday night at 7:00 p.m. (PST) with a trio of guests as we begin to look ahead to crossover season.
Starting off the show was Western Washington forward/center Kelsey Rogers, who is tied at the top of the GNAC scoring list this season. Rogers is in her second season in Bellingham.
The sophomore is averaging 15.3 points and 6.1 rebounds per game for the Vikings. She has scored in double figures in her past 11 contests, including in Saturday's 75-67 victory at Saint Martin's.
Western Washington currently sits at 10-6 (5-3 GNAC) as the first half of GNAC play draws to a close. The club hosts a pair of huge contests this week, starting on Thursday evening against No. 2 Northwest Nazarene and culminating two nights later against rival Central Washington.
Up in Burnaby, the Simon Fraser men's basketball team is preparing to host Alaska Anchorage and Alaska this week. The Clan are coming off a victory in one of the most exciting games of the season, a 112-107 triple-overtime win over Montana State Billings.
Leading his team to that thrilling victory was guard Michael Provenzano. The junior tallied a game-high 32 points and six assists for SFU, improving his club's record to 8-8 in the process. Provenzano joined the show to talk about his season thus far and the triple-overtime thriller while previewing the road ahead.
GNAC Insider was also joined by Concordia Director of Golf Lindsay Aho. Aho is in her first season as the school's Director of Golf and was a member of the Cavaliers' women's team from 2008-10.
Most recently, Aho helped lead both the CU men and women's teams in offering free golf clinics to members of the community. Concordia partnered with the Portland Parks & Recreation Department to offer these instructional courses, which have been running on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The clinics go through February 7 at four different sites around the city of Portland.

Q: Emacs key binding fallback I have a minor mode. If that mode is active and the user hits DEL, I
want to do some action, but only if some condition holds. If the
condition holds and the action is executed I want to do nothing more
after that. But if the condition fails, I don't want to do anything
and let the default DEL action execute.
Not sure how I could solve this. But I guess I could do it in two ways:
1)
I could rebind the DEL key to a function in the minor mode and then
check if the conditions holds ot not. But then how do I know what the
default command to DEL is?
2)
I could add a pre command hook like this. Execute the command and then
break the chain. But how do I break the chain?
(add-hook 'pre-command-hook
          (lambda()
            (when (equal last-input-event 'backspace)
              ;; Do something and then stop (do not execute the
              ;; command that backspace is bound to)
              )))

In what way would you solve it? Thanks!

A: This is what I use for my smart-tab package which does exactly that.
(defun smart-tab-default ()
  "Indents region if mark is active, or current line otherwise."
  (interactive)
  (if mark-active
      (indent-region (region-beginning)
                     (region-end))

    (call-interactively
     (or
      ;; Minor mode maps for tab (without smart-tab-mode)
      (cdar (assq-delete-all 'smart-tab-mode (minor-mode-key-binding "\t")))
      (cdar (assq-delete-all 'smart-tab-mode (minor-mode-key-binding [(tab)])))
      (local-key-binding "\t")
      (local-key-binding [(tab)])
      (global-key-binding "\t")
      (global-key-binding [(tab)])))))

And in the command smart-tab (which is the one bound to tab in the minor
mode), it has the following:
(if (smart-tab-must-expand prefix)
    ;; use smart tab
  (smart-tab-default))

It first checks if there are any minor mode bindings for tab (not including
smart-tab-mode), then local, and finally global keybindings.

A: The way to do this is to temporarily disable your minor mode, then look up the key binding.
Pretend that you've bound 'do-thingy to DEL.  Then this would do the trick (assuming the condition you want to trigger off is (equal last-input-event 'backspace):
(defun do-thingy ()
  "Do something, unless last event was backspace."
  (interactive)
  (if (equal last-input-event 'backspace)
      (let* ((my-minor-mode nil)
             (original-func (key-binding (kbd "DEL"))))
        ;; original-func is whatever DEL would be if
        ;; my-minor-mode were disabled
        (call-interactively original-func))
    (message "Here's my minor mode behavior!")))

Note: This behavior assumes you have set up your key bindings the standard way a minor-mode would.  Specifically, you should add your keymap to the variable minor-mode-map-alist by adding an element (my-minor-mode . my-minor-mode-keymap).  That's how the above let statement works, it looks up the binding you want with your mode temporarily disabled.
If you use define-minor-mode to define your minor mode, the keymap gets set up the "right way" automatically.

A: There doesn't seem to be a way to do what you want reliably.  If your new command is bound to DEL, then whatever was bound to DEL before in the current keymap isn't there anymore.  The other approach you proposed won't work because pre-command-hooks don't prevent the following action from taking place.  You might also think to interrupt further execution with ^G (Keyboard-Quit), but that's an uncontrolled interrupt that might stop more things than you want.
Even if you make the process of setting up the new binding a little more sophisticated  than just re-bind, and remember what was bound there before, so you can call it afterwards, you don't really have what your looking for.  If someone wants to rebind the "default" action, they have to do it by modifying to your function rather than replacing the key binding.
What you want to do doesn't fit Emacs' model of how key binding works.

Study abroad market trends show that most of the prospective applicants prefer applying through a study abroad consultant and only a few students apply abroad completely on their own. Since the demand for the consultants is so high, the competition among consultants is also tight. They try their best to lure students into taking admission to universities which makes more profit for them rather than providing good education to the student. It becomes essential on the part of the student to make sure the consultant is not taking them for a ride and fooling them into making a stupid decision.
How much will the course cost ?
The overall cost will ultimately depend on a variety of factors including your destination city, cost of living, personal expenses, the fees charged by your university, additional costs like insurance etc. There are many state universities which offer quality education at marginal costs compared to private universities. Many of these courses may be within your budget; make sure to ask the consultant about price comparison between various universities.
Am I eligible to apply for the course of my choice ?
Many universities don't recognize degrees conferred by Indian institutes. One should always make sure that the college accepts your educational degrees and you are not required to take any bridge course to be able to eligible for the course. Also the universities abroad change marks to GPA. The minimum GPA usually varies between 2.50 to 3.0, while more competitive programs and premier colleges require GPA between 3.0 to 4.0. Make sure you are aware how is this conversion being done.
Is the university accredited ?
Many consultants refer students to universities which aren't accredited or are considered 'Bogus' by the visa authorities because they offer the consultants a hefty commission amount for referring students. You need to research a bit on your own and look for reviews of universities and colleges by current students to understand how the college ranks. A few honest reviews will help you get an independent opinion of the college instead of the biased picture the consultant is offering.
What requirements do I need to fulfill ?
Abroad, all the colleges have different requirements that prospective students need to fulfil. You will have to submit letters of recommendation, statement of purpose or some on-job work experience might also be required. Since the requirement of all the courses are different, you will have to customize your application accordingly. Be clear from the beginning about what documents need to be submitted.
There are many scholarships funded by the college and independent corporates for international students to enable them to study without worrying about the costs incurred. If you are eligible for such scholarships you should ask the consultant beforehand. Many scholarships require you to sit for an entrance test and for some scholarships your application is automatically considered. So in case any additional preparation is required, you should know the details and complete information.
How long can I stay abroad ?
Many times the students are not clear about what their student visa will permit them to do once the course is over; can they stay back for a few more months or do they need to take flight back home immediately. At the research stage, your consultant should give you a clear idea about your student visa and its regulations. If you are allowed to work for a particular hours then the consultant should mention it to you and tell you about the legal consequences if you don't follow those. The idea is to have clear expectations about job opportunities before starting the course.

Manchester United transfers: Wilson reacts to Brighton loan
James Wilson admits it was an 'easy' decision to leave Man Utd on a season-long loan move to Brighton.
Samuel LuckhurstChief Manchester United writer
Wilson is happy to be at Brighton
James Wilson has revealed it was an 'easy' decision to leave Manchester United for Brighton on loan.
Wilson, 19, made just two appearances under Louis van Gaal this season and played 53 minutes overall before he joined the Championship's second-placed club until the end of the season.
"There were a lot of clubs interested, but there was only one horse in the race for me," Wilson told the Brighton website .
"It's a brilliant club, brilliant facilities, and I think the style of play will suit my game, so that was the basis behind my decision.
"You have to think 'How can I develop as a player?' Manchester United agreed that it was a good move for me to go out on loan.
"There were a lot of good clubs that came in for me but once Brighton were mentioned, I've been monitoring them, because they've been doing well in the league. I've watched a few of the games when I can, so it was an easy decision for me really."

Wilson's United teammate, Jesse Lingard, was on loan at Brighton in 2014 and Wilson asked the Warrington lad for some advice.
"I asked Jesse Lingard for some advice too, and about what it was like here," Wilson added.

"He told me it's a great club. Everyone I've spoken to has said it's a brilliant set-up and a brilliant club, with a great bunch of lads."

Q: Which statements using quantifiers is true? I have a task here with the expression $(m|p^n-n)$ and some quantifiers in front, where I need to pick the one that is true. The universal set is ${R}$. Edit: I read wrong, universal set is $(2,3,4...)$.
The four options are

*

*$∀m∀n∃p(m|p^n-n)$

*$∃m∃n∀p(m|p^n-n)$

*$∀m∃n∀p(m|p^n-n)$

*$∃m∀n∃p(m|p^n-n)$
I tried to look at $(m|p^n-n)$ as $p^n≡n(modm)$. In the first one, if $n=0$ and random $m=3$, we end up with $1≡0(mod3)$ and I think/hope that is enough to disprove that one. But is that the way to go? Just finding exceptions? I'm not quite sure how I need to think when solving a problem like this. Is thinking modulo correct? According to the answers 4 is the correct one, but I don't know how to prove/disprove these types of questions in general.
(Sorry for bad title, don't know how to formulate this question into nice title and English isn't my first language so all my "math language" is in another language)


Last fall I was asked to get involved in a public service campaign called DrinkUp, part of The Partnership for a Healthier America which Michelle Obama was involved with while First Lady. The goal was to target segments of the Latino community in LA and get them to drink more water as a way to live longer healthier lives.
The creatives at Polvora Advertising had seen and pitched the client using images from my long exposure Dancers in Motion series which the client had fallen in love with, so they contacted me and my team to see if we could do something similar for a series of outdoor advertisements that they had planned. We were more than happy to oblige.
In the end, we spend a week in a dark studio with a fantastic group of clients and creatives as well as 5 wonderful models who ran, kicked, danced, stretched, and shimmied their collective butts off for us. Besides the 5 stills posters, I was also tasked with directing footage of the amazing Mexican folk dancer Grisel Pren which will be used by the team at Universe Productions to create 15 and 30 second TV and web spots who's goal is to match the look and feel of the campaign's still images.
I couldn't be more proud of the results!

Steve quoted in the NY Times
Steve was quoted in a NY Times story about the potential buyers for the Clippers.
By Steve Perrin May 1, 2014, 2:44pm PDT
Share All sharing options for: Steve quoted in the NY Times
For what it's worth, I have a couple of quotes in today's issue of the New York Times. In an article on the potential buyers for the Clippers in a post Donald Sterling world, I was asked to represent the views of Clipper fans, which I tried to do.
The article was written by Billy Witz and Mary Pilon. In an ironic twist, Pilon interviewed me via phone from New York -- while Billy lives a couple of blocks away from me! (There's a strange vortex of NBA writers here in Long Beach: Billy's kids go to the same school as mine; Lisa Dillman -- who has moved on to her preferred sport of hockey -- lives nearby; Kurt Helin of ProBasketballTalk and Chris Clark late of Silver Screen and Roll and now of LakersNation both play basketball with me. What are the odds?)
It's a very good piece, though I am just a bit of fluff in it. Personally, I want Judd Apatow to buy the Clippers. How cool would that be?

Solanum: nombre genérico que deriva del vocablo Latíno equivalente al Griego στρνχνος (strychnos) para designar el Solanum nigrum (la "Hierba mora") —y probablemente otras especies del género, incluida la berenjena— , ya empleado por Plinio el Viejo en su Historia naturalis (21, 177 y 27, 132) y, antes, por Aulus Cornelius Celsus en De Re Medica (II, 33). Podría ser relacionado con el Latín sol. -is, "el sol", debido a que la planta sería propia de sitios algo soleados.

heterodoxum: epíteto latino que significa "que difiere de la especie tipo del género".

Before launching this blog, I wrestled with how this brazenly personal blog would reflect on me professionally, and what it would mean for my business, Cloud 9 Organize & Redesign.
My small business is an intimate one. I spend hours at a time huddled with my clients in crowded closets and basements and bedrooms, touching very personal stuff – from toiletry drawers to not-yet-confronted belongings of deceased loved ones.
Disarmed by having our heads buried in boxes and drawers, my clients and I often fall into deep, meaningful conversations. In my four years of helping people get rid of stuff, I've collected a treasured set of clients-turned-friends.
This friend-gathering feature of my work is important to me. I'm not good at compartmentalizing myself into professional Kyle and personal Kyle. I love talking about what matters in life as we purge decades of old paperwork or label bins for the storage closet. I love getting close with my clients. There, I said it.
When it came time to decide if I'd be harming my business by launching this blog, I realized that, really, there's nothing to lose. If current or prospective clients are repelled, then we probably didn't, or wouldn't have, hit it off anyway, and those would have been some tedious, humorless hours cleaning out their garage.
I love that the more transparent I get in the world, the more I attract kindred spirits. For me, that typically translates into meeting people who are brave, vulnerable, seeking, and committed to personal growth. My blog is a virtual sieve, catching those people I'm meant to have enriching experiences with, while less compatible connections pass through the holes. An efficient win-win.
Yesterday I received a gift that greatly reduced my residual fear about whether this blog will shrivel my business. It was an email from a shorter-term client who I don't know as well as some of my longer-term ones.
Of course there are plenty of professional environments where you'd be ostracized for being vulnerable and transparent. After all, we live in America, where productivity, perfection and invincibility are the top predators of the cultural value chain.
Still, I think we underestimate how relieved and inspired others are when someone steps forward to reveal actual self instead of android worker self. We've been so conditioned to equate imperfection with rejection that we sell each other short.
Through this blog experiment in radical honestly, I'm learning that people can hang with a whole lot more than you think they can. It only takes one person to release the perfection pressure valve for the rest of us. Then everyone can relax, creating space for honesty and creativity. And I'm no social scientist, but that's got to be good for productivity.
Posted in self-love, tools for emotional wholeness.
you are an amazing example of authenticity in life and have created the possibility to inspire that in others – bravo!
Kyle- your words continue to astound me. I can relate to worrying about exposing too much. Yesterday I had an interview that was going well until he asked me to explain a long period of time that I was not employed. I wasn't prepared to answer in a way that was both truthful but also protecting myself. It was just after my brother died. But I didn't tell him that. I sort of stumbled and knew inside that this would cost me. The interview ended OK but I may get rejected. Its OK though. It may just not be the right fit!
Personally I'd much prefer to work with someone I can relate to on as many levels as possible. I think you are so right and it's a refreshing revelation.
Anyway, I love this post. I love that you are so committed to being real and authentic in the world. I'm a clear beneficiary of that:) !!!
Also, love love loved your post about the P.O.
I once sat down at a wedding table of 12 people that I didn't know and took a deep breath…in an instant I realized that I was expecting myself to make everyone have a good time! Like it was somehow *my* responsibility. Seconds later I caught myself, took another (more relaxing) deep breath, and told myself I was no more responsible for these people than they were for me. Ahhhh, I relaxed and had fun. It was a seminal moment in life for me.
Anyway, Kyle, much love, thanks for writing, and thanks for being you!

Hrabstwo Ratzeburga – niemieckie hrabstwo założone w 1143 roku i istniejące do 1296 roku, kiedy (po licznych podziałach) weszło w skład księstwa Saksonii-Lauenburga.

Historia
Podwaliny pod przyszłe hrabstwo położył książę obodrycki Racibor, który zbudował gród Gauburg, w 1062 roku wymieniany jako saskie lenno. W 1143 roku książę saski Henryk Lew poprzez Adolfa II holsztyńskiego przekazał Henrykowi z Badewide część ziemi obodryckich Połabian pod niemiecką kolonizację. W skład nowo utworzonego hrabstwa weszły grody Ratzeburg, Wittenburg i Gadebusch, Rehna, Zarrentin am Schaalsee oraz baliwat Mölln. Badewidowie zasiadali na tronie do śmierci Bernharda III w 1199 roku, kiedy poprzez małżeństwo z owdowiałą matką tego ostatniego, Adelajdą, regencję objął Adolf z Dasselu. Utracił jednak władzę w wyniku bitwy pod Waschowem (25 maja 1200 lub 1201 roku), przegrawszy z meklemburską armią wasali króla Danii Kanuta VI. Hrabstwo przeszło pod władanie korony duńskiej; następca Kanuta, Waldemar II Zwycięski przekazał je w 1202 roku swojemu siostrzeńcowi Albrechtowi II z Orlamünde

W 1204 roku Waldemar, w ramach wynagrodzenia za poparcie dla duńskiej ekspansji, mianował Albrechta duńskim namiestnikiem północnych Niemiec i przekazał wszystkie ziemie na wschód od dzisiejszej granicy pomiędzy Szlezwikiem-Holsztynem a Meklemburgią.

Po przegranej bitwie pod Mölln w 1225 roku schwytany Albrecht II musiał zrezygnować z ziem lauenburskich. Po bitwie pod Bornhöved w 1227 roku zakończyła się duńska ekspansja w Niemczech północnych, zaś hrabstwo trafiło pod władzę saskiego Askańczyka księcia Albrechta I. Po jego śmierci władzę nad zdobytymi ziemiami przejęli synowie – Albrecht II oraz Jan I. Rząd nad późniejszym księstwem Saksonii-Wittenbergi (po podziale księstwa w 1296 roku) sprawował najmłodszy z synów, Albrecht II. Jan I władał byłym hrabstwem Ratzeburga oraz ziemiami lauenburskimi, które to terytorium przypadło później jego synom – Janowi II, Erykowi I i Albrechtowi III – by w 1296 roku trafić pod rządy księstwa Saksonii-Lauenburga.

I seem to be apart of the few lately, but I still love CSS.
Here are a few quick tips I have been thinking about lately with regards to writing better CSS.
Be careful styling raw HTML elements globally. Make careful use of the cascade. Globals are powerful and need to be throughly considered before being introduced.
For example, I get a little nervous when I see headings getting overly specific styling outside of a default font-weight and font-size. When you start to introduce colors, text transformations, I often see them having to be overridden farther down the document.
Try to reduce that amount of times you have to undo something you had previously declared farther up the cascade.
If you are using a build system to minify your CSS, whitespace is a free documentation tool. This is a small but handy tip I picked up from Harry Roberts, he does a great job explaining how whitespace can be semantic.
This may seem silly to some, "I know what the output will look like, I wrote it!", but Sass and tools alike do a great job of masking what you might expect in the output.
Periodically checking the output has often resulted in me refactoring a bit of my CSS for the better of the project.

Swiss subsidies for rail freight remain in place till 2026
The Swiss government will extend its subsidising scheme for rail freight operations up till 2026. Previously, these subsidies were to be abolished in 2023. In addition, track access for freight trains in Switzerland will be lowered starting from 2021. This is to support the shift from road to rail for transalpine traffic, an ambition which has been an integral part of the national policy since 2000.
The Federal Council announced these decisions on 13 November, after it adopted the relocation report 2019. This report comes out every two years to evaluate the status of the modal shift policy and analyse expected results. Although the 2019 report shows that the existing measures are effective, it also revealed that the targeted reduction to 650,000 truck journeys per year were not accomplished. The Federal Council therefore proposed a package of measures to further strengthen the modal shift.
Subsidies until 2026
The extension of the subsidy scheme is an important part of the package. The Federal Council has requested the Parliament to extend the payment framework up till 2026. In the period 2024-2026, an additional 90 million francs (82.2 million euros) will be made available to compensate unaccompanied combined transport operators.
Although the Swiss rail freight market has been preparing for the loss of subsidies, various parties expressed their concern that it would harm the market. According to Hupac, the largest intermodal operator on the market, only half of today's operating subsidies, around 110 million francs (0.88 million Euros) for the entire transalpine combined transport, could be compensated by 2024.
Lower track access charges
The lowering of track access charges has been on the agenda for a little longer, but has now also been confirmed in the package of measures. This was done via an amendment to the Network Access Ordinance adopted by the Federal Council.
Starting from 1 January 2021, the charges for using the Swiss railway network will be decreased by around 90 million francs (82.2 million euros) every year. In addition, a special discount is to be introduced for long freight trains, since long trains can make better use of the infrastructure's capacity. The Swiss charges are currently relatively low compared to other EU countries. However, Germany and the Netherlands have also planned similar measures, increasing the pressure on Switzerland to remain competitive in its railway pricing.
Other measures
Other measures included in the package are an adjustment in the classification of distance-related heavy goods vehicle charges (HGVC). Lorries of emission classes EURO IV and V should no longer fall into a more favorable category. This should encourage a shift of heavy-good vehicles to rail.
Since 2001, lorries on all Swiss roads pay distance-, weight- and emissions-related charges. Two thirds of the revenues are allocated to the Rail Infrastructure Fund (RIF). Without the latest adjustment, the weighted average would fall from 293 francs (2018) to 275 francs in 2024, the Swiss Federal Office of Transport explains.
A fourth measure is the intensifying of heavy traffic inspections, among other things by realising the heavy goods traffic control center Gotthard south in Giornico. Also this measure is aimed at encouraging the shift of HVG's to the railways.
The Swiss modal shift policy provides that the number of journeys by domestic and foreign lorries and semi-trailers through the Swiss Alps must be lowered from what was 1.4 million in 2000 to 650,000 per year. In the years 2017 and 2018, 954.000 and 941.000 transalpine journeys of HVG's were counted respectively. Hence, the target was not achieved.
Positively, the number of journeys by HVG's over Swiss roads decreased by 3.5 per cent in the period 2016-2018. Compared to the reference year 2000, the decrease is even 33 per cent, meaning that a third of these vehicles were taken off the road since the start of the modal shift policy.
On the other hand, the numbers are not positive for rail freight transport. Rail freight transport through the Alps witnessed a drop of 2.6 per cent in the period 2016-2018. At the end of 2018. the share of rail in transalpine freight traffic was at 70.5 per cent, 0.5 percentage points lower than in 2016, the 2019 report reads.
Railway link through the Alps
The rail freight volumes should be lifted significantly with the opening of the Ceneri Base Tunnel is 2020. The New Railway link through the Alps (NEAT), a passage of tunnels and railroad, is then completely operational. The entire north-south axis is then also accessible for 4-metre height trains, which should have its effect in 2021.
Although the NEAT was a core element to support the shift to rail by reducing production costs and increasing capacity, this alone will not be enough to achieve the modal shift ambitions, the rail freight market has repeatedly said. This has now been recognised by the Swiss government. The package of measures, in combination with the NEAT should lead to more satisfactory results.

Барон Фёдор Ива́нович Лидва́ль (Юхан Фредрик Ли́дваль, ;  —14 марта 1945) — русско-шведский архитектор шведского подданства и происхождения, академик Императорской Академии художеств.

Биография и семья
Ф. И. Лидваль родился в Санкт-Петербурге. Его отец Юн Петтер Лидваль (1827—1886) родился в деревне Буде Лиденского прихода в Хельсингланде (по другим сведениям — в Медельпаде), приехал в Россию в 1859 году и со временем стал известным в Петербурге портным, главой крупной швейной мастерской «Иван Петрович Лидваль и сыновья» и поставщиком императорского двора. Мать — Ида Амалия Флешау (1844—1915) родилась в Петербурге в семье шведки Евы Лакстрем, родившейся в финском местечке Хаусярви, и Балтазара Флешау, столяра-краснодеревщика, который приехал в Россию из датской провинции Слагельсе, Южная Зеландия. Кроме Фредрика, в семье были также сыновья Эрик Леонард (1868—1940), Вильгельм Балтазар (1874—1924), Эдвард Теодор (1876—1937), Пауль Николас (1882—1963) и дочери Мария Ульрика (1877—1887) и Анна (1884— ?).

В 1882 году Ф. И. Лидваль окончил начальную школу при евангелической Шведской церкви Святой Екатерины, а затем Второе Петербургское реальное училище (в 1888 году). Два года занимался в Училище технического рисования барона Штиглица. Во время каникул Фёдор Лидваль, как и его братья, дважды проходил службу в Королевском лейб-гвардейском полку в Стокгольме.

В 1890—1896 годах Фёдор Лидваль был студентом архитектурного отделения Высшего художественного училища при Императорской Академии художеств, где с 1894 по 1896 год учился в мастерской архитектора Л. Н. Бенуа. Окончил Высшее художественное училище со званием художника-архитектора.

Самый плодотворный период творчества Лидваля связан с Санкт-Петербургом. С 1899 года он стал членом Петербургского общества архитекторов. В 1907 году особая комиссия по присуждению премий за лучшие фасады присудила Лидвалю серебряную медаль за фасад дома Н. А. Мельцера (угол Большой Конюшенной улицы и Волынского переулка) и почётный диплом за фасад доходного дома А. Ф. Циммермана (угол Каменноостровского проспекта и Вологодской улицы). С 1909 года Ф. И. Лидваль — академик архитектуры, член Императорской Академии художеств. В Санкт-Петербурге по его проектам построено более 30 зданий и сооружений.

В 1910—1917 годах Ф. И. Лидваль преподавал на архитектурном факультете Женского политехнического института, участвовал в издании архитектурно-художественного журнала, являлся членом многих конкурсных комиссий и сам участвовал в многочисленных конкурсах по проектированию различных построек. Так, например, в 1911 году он участвовал в конкурсе на проект здания Благородного собрания на Итальянской ул., д. № 27 (победил проект братьев Косяковых). В 1912 году Ф. И. Лидваль принял участие в закрытом конкурсе Правления Юго-Западной железной дороги на проект здания Киевского вокзала, получив вторую премию, а также в заказном конкурсе, проведенном Министерством путей сообщения и Академией Художеств на проект реконструкции здания Николаевского вокзала (в обоих конкурсах победили проекты В. А. Щуко). К 1915 году относятся ещё два конкурсных проекта: здания Волжско-Камского банка для Тифлиса (ул. Гудиашвили; здание построено П. А. Зурабяном) и для Киева (Крещатик, д. № 10; здание построено П. С. Андреевым), выполненных Лидвалем совместно с зодчим Г. А. Косяковым. В том же году Лидваль совместно с И. С. Китнером выполнили проект жилого дома для холостых работников Лысьвенского завода Пермской губернии (здание построено лысьвенским архитектором Ждановым).

В 1918 году, разорённый революцией, Ф. И. Лидваль уезжает в Стокгольм, куда годом раньше отправил семью.

Умер в 1945 году в результате кровоизлияния в мозг. Похоронен в Стокгольме на .

Семья
Жена — Маргарет Фредерике Эйлерс (28 мая 1885 — 12 апреля 1962), дочь Германа Фридриха Эйлерса, переехавшего в Россию из Восточной Фрисляндии, крупнейшего петербургского садовода и торговца цветами. Брат Маргарет, Константин Германович Эйлерс, архитектор, построил в сотрудничестве с Лидвалем два здания, в том числе участвовал в постройке гостиницы «Астория».

Дети: Свен Юхан (12 марта 1909 — 30 июля 1975), Андерс Эрик (28 ноября 1911 — ?), Ингрид (1 августа 1913 — 26 февраля 2000).

Творчество

Работы Лидваля стали играть значительную роль в архитектуре Санкт-Петербурга в 1900-е годы. На первом этапе своего творчества (1897—1907) он был ярким представителем стиля «северный модерн», его поиски в эти годы близки устремлениям скандинавских и финских зодчих. В то же время постройки Лидваля не противоречили исторически сложившемуся облику города. Доходный дом, известный также как «Дом Лидваль», построенный архитектором по заказу матери на Каменноостровском проспекте (1899—1904), одна из ранних его работ, обычно приводится в пример как образец жилого дома в этом стиле: «готические» окна, живописная асимметрия корпусов, различная по фактуре и цвету отделка, обилие декоративных элементов. Дом явился этапом в развитии петербургского зодчества и прославил архитектора. В этом доме (на третьем этаже, в квартире № 23) жил и сам Лидваль до своей вынужденной эмиграции в 1918 году, а на первом этаже дома размещалось его проектное бюро.

Получив широкое признание, Лидваль расширил поле деятельности. В сложной обстановке борьбы различных художественных течений и группировок архитектор обратился, как и многие его современники, к классике, но не утратил ничего из того, что им было найдено в период расцвета модерна. В здании Азовско-Донского банка на Большой Морской уже видна свойственная Лидвалю сдержанность, использование элементов классицизма. Левая часть здания (дом № 5) строилась в 1908—1909 годах, правая (дом № 3) — в 1912—1913 годах. Обе части здания связаны единым внутренним пространством, где располагались конторские помещения, но каждая из них получила самостоятельное решение фасада. Дом № 5 оформлен портиком из каннелированных в нижней части трехчетвертных ионических колонн с завершением, имитирующим треугольный фронтон с огромным венецианским окном. Фасад дома № 3 имеет более плоскостное решение, так как архитектор применил здесь пилястры.

Ф. И. Лидваль построил здания Азовско-Донского банка также и в других городах Российской империи (Астрахань, Саратов, Харьков).

Начало 1910-х годов было временем наибольшего творческого расцвета архитектора. В эти годы он создаёт гостиницу «Астория» на Исаакиевской площади, а также знаменитый Толстовский дом на Троицкой улице, другим фасадом выходящий на набережную реки Фонтанки. Это целостный, близкий современным требованиям жилой комплекс, состоящий из двух лицевых корпусов и двух дворовых. Оба лицевых фасада выделены высокими проездами во двор — тройными арками ренессансного типа. Но главным здесь является композиция внутриквартального пространства — своеобразная улица Лидваля, образованная тремя дворами-интерьерами разных очертаний под открытым небом, средний из которых представляет собой небольшую площадь.

Доходный дом шведского промышленника Э. Нобеля на Лесном проспекте — также одно из программных произведении зодчего: выразительный сводчатый проезд, поддерживаемый пятью парами гранитных колонн, ведет на длинную внутреннюю улицу, где часть корпусов также построена Лидвалем. Эти корпуса — дома для рабочих заводов Нобеля — известны под названием «Нобельский городок».

Вместе с И. А. Фоминым Ф. И. Лидваль разрабатывал планы застройки острова Голодай и в 1912—1914 годах построил жилые дома для рабочих по проекту «Новый Петербург» на Железноводской улице (нынешние адреса — дома № 19 и № 34), создав «разумную композицию», простую и современную. Компактные в плане здания-пропилеи стоят свободно, обозримы со всех сторон и после постройки давали основу для создания в будущем законченного городского ансамбля, что, к сожалению, не было сделано.

После отъезда в Швецию Ф. И. Лидваль работал в компании известного архитектора Альбина Старка и спроектировал в Стокгольме 16 авторских домов, а также принимал участие в разработке проектов ещё 7 зданий (в основном в качестве дизайнера интерьеров). Первым его самостоятельным проектом стали два жилых дома на улице Тюста Гатан (№ 3 и № 5, 1922), в облике которых сочетаются мотивы, характерные для петербургского периода творчества Лидваля, и шведской архитектуры стиля Swedish Grace (шведская грация), отличающегося скромностью и сдержанностью. Среди других реализованных им проектов в Стокгольме — здание нефтяной компании «Shell» на улице Биргер Ярлсгатан и дом на углу улиц Турсгатан и Санкт Эрикс Гатан. Также в начале 1930-х годов Ф. И. Лидваль спроектировал в Стокгольме несколько жилых домов в стиле функционализма.

Память

 На стене дома № 1/3 («Дома Лидваль») по Каменноостровскому проспекту в 1995 году была установлена мемориальная доска (архитектор В. В. Попов).
 27 мая 2006 года во дворе дома № 1-3 по Малой Конюшенной улице установлена мемориальная доска архитекторам Ф. И. Лидвалю и К. К. Андерсону. Впоследствии мемориальная доска была разбита вандалами.
 «Президентский люкс» в гостинице «Европейская» имеет персональное имя «Лидваль».

Recently, a former U. S. soldier has revealed his victimhood at the hands of a landed crew of UFOnauts whose technical prowess apparently exceeded that of any Earthling during the mid-1960's.
The crew's summer-night intrusion at the soldier's infantry-training camp in Grafenwoehr, Germany, apparently included abduction of one or more fellow infantrymen and the disabling of their M-113 personnel carrier.
A witness who served with in a West German weapons platoon for the U.S. Army recalls events from 1966, according to testimony in Case 63699 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
"I was in the weapons platoon of a rifle company in the (U.S.) Army. The weapons platoon was made up of four armored personnel carriers, which were 13-ton, lightly armored, tracked vehicles [M113]. Three of the APC's were 81mm mortar gun crews, and the one I was in was the fire directions center. I was a driver at the time.
"We, approximately 14 men, were on a training mission out in the field by ourselves. The gun crews had set up their mortars and the fire directions center had laid in the guns, which is sighting them using aiming stakes for the gun crews to put their sights on.
"I was tired at dusk and rolled out my sleeping bag in a nice grassy area under a tree and beside my APC. Another sergeant did also. I went to sleep quickly.
"Three men, one on guard duty, were watching a star or light in the sky apparently pulsing with different colors. Two of the men went on to their sleeping bags and the guard stayed up. My squad leader was on radio watch because we had been warned we might have aggressors trying to sneak up on us that night.
"The next morning, I awoke to find several men talking in a group about not being woke up for guard duty. Just then my squad leader emerged from the APC and said he had fallen asleep at the radios for some strange reason. This had never happened to him before.
"My platoon sergeant, one of the three watching the light the previous night, told of being in a dream state and hearing the guard yelling frantically for help. The sergeant said he couldn't move, but could hear.
"About 09:00 [AM] we heard and saw the guard that was on first watch coming down a hill about 200 yards away. When he reached us he was hysterical and crying. He said, 'I thought all of you were dead.' He then recounted his story.
"When two of the three men watching the star the previous night went to bed, the guard went toward the wood line, where we had set up camp. The guard then turned toward a clearing to the west of camp and said a craft had landed there in front of him. It had numerous lights of changing colors all down its side.
"He stayed with them until morning and then came back toward our position. Looking down a hill he saw a silvery, cigar-shaped craft still where it landed the night before. He ran back to the other GI's and again begged them to come with him. They again refused to come.
"He waited a few more hours and then came back to our camp when all of us saw him. He told us the story, and someone found the aiming stake he had thrown.
"The sergeant that slept a few yards from me said he had the strangest dream of being examined in a brightly lit operating room. He also said he had an awful headache in the top of his head. Along with this, the grassy area where we slept appeared to have had a core sample taken from it. A round spot of grass and dirt a few inches deep were missing. The platoon sergeant recalled hearing the guard yelling desperately for help but he could not move.
"My APC had the infrared lenses cracked and everything electrical was burned out. I remember the maintenance crew in our company asking what happened. They had never seen this kind of damage to a vehicle before. My APC had to be towed in to base that night, later to be sent back to Ordinance.
"The Colonel, our battalion commander, wanted some explanation for all of the damages. When he was told, he said he could not file an official report, because only one person was a witness to the event.
"My personal experience of that night involved a watch I was given for graduation. It was anti-magnetic and glowed in the dark, but that night it stopped working and glowing. I knew the guard who was on duty that night, and after the incident he was very emotionally disturbed. He was sent away and I never saw him again.

Click here to read the complete review.
This recording by American pianist Simone Dinnerstein deserves to be heard by even the most fervent fan of the ubiquitous Glenn Gould. fan. While I would characterize her conception as modern rather than scholarly, Ms. Dinnerstein'sGoldbergs strike me as having a more consistent flow, with more organically organized tempos and phrasing, than either of Gould's sui generis recordings. And it is a pleasure to hear the lovely sound of her Hamburg Steinway, captured in clean, ungimmicked two-channel sound.
I will always return from time to time for Gould's unique insights into — and revolutionary ideas about — Bach's keyboard music in general and the Goldbergs in particular. But Dinnerstein has definitely earned space on my Bach shelf. — Wayne Donnelly
Magnus Lindberg
Lisa Batiashvili (violin), SarakiOramo conducting the Finnish Radio Orchestra
No recent CD has brought me more listening pleasure than this one. The young Lisa Batiashvili performs both concertos with a combination of passion, virtuosity, and interpretive wisdom that suggests she'll be around for a long time to come. Her Sibelius is vibrant and intense. The Violin Concerto by Magnus Lindberg was written for Batiashivili, who owns it completely. In her hands, it sounds like a major addition to the repertory. Like-minded support from Saraki Oramo and the Finnish orchestra, and spacious, detailed sound add to the appeal of this CD. It's a winner all the way. — Max Westler
Dybbuk: Ballet (1974); Fancy Free: Ballet (1944)
Mel Ulrich (Baritone), Mark Risinger (Bass), Abby Burke (vocal)
Andrew Mogriela conducting the Nashville Symphony
The success of Fancy Free in 1942 launched Bernstein's career, and established him as a composer to be reckoned with. The premiere of Dybbuk took place thirty years later at a time when Bernstein's reputation as a composer was suffering. Dybbuk didn't provide Bernstein with the great popular success he hungered for, and it remains his most woefully neglected composition. This is both sad and unjust, for Dybbuk is one of Bernstein's most revealing scores, and it contains some of the most remarkable and compelling music he ever wrote.
I can think of several good reasons to purchase this disc, not least the very low price. Also, Naxos gives us both ballets complete, 74 minutes plus of music. But the best reasons to get this disc are the stunning performances by Andrew Mogriela and his Nashville players. Their playing in both scores is precise, spirited, and thoroughly idiomatic. Mogriela represents both the athleticism of Fancy Free and the bristling tension of Dybbuk with equal success.
Jim Mancuso's engineering projects a large and convincing soundstage that's transparent on the top, exact in the midrange, and rock-solid on the bottom. The clear delineation of inner voices and the overall sense of detail here are thrilling, and offer ample testimony to Bernstein's genius as an orchestrator. In brief, a disc for both those who want to know more about Bernstein and those who think they already know him. — Max Westler
Leon Kirchner In Honor of His Eightieth Birthday
Works Composed From 1948 to 1973: The Columbia and Epic Recordings
Lily, for Soprano and Chamber Orchestra Diana Hoagland, soprano; Leon Kirchner, conductor, pianist and taped speaker; Columbia Chamber Soloists Piano Concerto Kirchner, piano; Dimitri Mitropoulos conducting the New York Philharmonic Piano Sonata Leon Fleisher, piano Sonata Concertante for violin and piano Eudice Shapiro, violin; Kirchner, piano String Quartet No. 1 American Art Quartet String Quartet No. 2 Lenox String Quartet String Quartet No. 3, with Electronic Tape Beaux Arts Quartet Trio No. 1 for piano, violin and cello Kirchner, piano; Nathan Rubin, violin; George Neikrug, cello
This historical two-disc set remains a great pleasure to revisit. Leon Kirchner's music is for the most part complex and thorny, but full of energy and passion, and in the early LP era he was blessed with committed interpreters and an appreciative record label, Columbia/Epic Records. Here we have Leon Fleisher, no less, playing the Piano Sonata, Dimitri Mitropoulos leading the New York Philharmonic and Kirchner himself in his Piano Concerto, the bizarre but fascinating Lily for soprano and mixed ensemble (including the composer's own taped voice), and a good deal of chamber music: over 2.5-hours of exciting music altogether. The three string quartets (the third with electronic-music accompaniment) are especially engaging.
None of these pieces yields all of its secrets easily, but the performers are so engaged with the music that the listener is led on though some dazzling soundscapes. Music & Arts has done a superb job of transferring Columbia/Epic's mono and stereo recordings to CD. — Joe Milicia
Traditions and Transformations: Sounds of Silk Road Chicago
Ernest Bloch: Schelomo, Hebraic Rhapsody for Solo Cello and Large Orchestra Yo-Yo Ma, cello; Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Miguel Harth- Bedoya, conductor.
ByambasurenSharav: Legend of Herlen Silk Road Ensemble; trombonists of Chicago Symphony Orchestra.
Lou Harrison: Pipa Concerto Wu Man, pipa; Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Miguel Harth-Bedoya, conductor.
Sergei Prokofiev: Scythian Suite Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Alan Gilbert, conductor.
Fans of Yo-Yo Ma's Silk Road Ensemble and of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra should get a great deal of pleasure out of this recent collaboration, featuring brilliant sound from the CSO's own label. The CSO alone performs Prokofiev's "barbaric," kaleidoscopic Scythian Suite in a glittering performance under Alan Gilbert that rivals the orchestra's own 1970s recording under Claudio Abaddo. The Silk Road Ensemble alone — except for the CSO's trombone section — plays the Mongolian Legend of Herlen by ByambasurenSharav, featuring a plaintive Mongolian "long singer" and Ma playing on an instrument called a morinkhuur. Another Silk Road Ensemble member, Wu Man, plays a charming Concerto for Pipa (a Chinese lute) and the strings of the CSO by the American Lou Harrison. And Ma and the CSO unite for Ernest Bloch's powerful symphonic portrait of King Solomon, Schelomo. My only disappointment with this CD is Miguel Harth-Bedoya's somewhat lackluster conducting in Schelomo; Ma is as compellingly soulful as one would expect from this great artist. But Harth-Bedoya gives a lively reading of the Pipa Concerto, catching both its playful and elegiac moods. — Joe Milicia
