the auth is implemented using firebase, and some server logics is implemented using an heroku postgres Daas.
I deployed the server project (the nodejs express with postgres db) to heroku. it works well (tested in postman).

It shows blank white screen, and nothing happens.

Jan Berenstain
About Jan Berenstain
The Berenstain Bears celebrated their 50th Anniversary in 2012.
Stan and Jan Berenstain were already successful cartoonists for magazines and adult humor books when they began writing children's books. The first story starring the bear family, The Big Honey Hunt, appeared in 1962. Since then, more than 370 Berenstain Bears books have been published, and more than 300 million copies have been sold. What began as an idea sparked by their young sons' love of reading has become over the years arguably the best-selling children's book series ever.
Since their inception, the Berenstain Bears stories have expanded to include picture books, beginning readers, and chapter books--even a hit TV show on PBS. Writing and illustrating the books has become a Berenstain family affair. Mike joined with his parents as a creative team in the late 1980s. The Bear family has expanded over the years as well. Sister Bear arrived in 1974, and baby Honey joined the family in 2000.
Though Stan died in 2005 and Jan in 2012, Mike continues to create the delightful Berenstain Bear adventures from his studio in Pennsylvania.

Burnett did a kids Q&A live on "GMA" and discussed her new Netflix series.
Iconic comedian Carol Burnett is back in a Netflix original.
The legendary actress stopped by "Good Morning America" to dish on her new Netflix series, "A Little Help with Carol Burnett."
Burnett, 85, who co-hosts the show with comedian Russell Peters, will feature a panel of kids ages five to 9 who help adults and celebrity guests solve their problems.
"The grown-up comes on, gives them the dilemma and [the kids] give grown-up advice," Burnett said. "The thing is, that age range, they don't censor themselves. They haven't become jaded by the time they gt to be 11. What they think comes right out of their mouths...and they're real kids. They're not actors."
Burnett took questions from young audience members today on "GMA."
"Do you still pull on your ear at the end of your show?" asked a child fan.
(ABC News) Carol Burnett opens up about what fans can expect from her new Netflix series, "A Little Help with Carol Burnett," live on "Good Morning America," May 3, 2018.
"It was for my grandma who raised me," Burnett replied, addressing the trademark move that she did at the end of "The Carol Burnett Show." "And so, when I got my first job on television she said 'Well, say hello to me.' I said, 'Nanny, they're not going to let me say, Hello Nanny.' So, we worked this out and at first it meant, 'Hello Nanny, I love you. I'm fine.' And then as I got a little successful it meant, 'Hello Nanny. I love you. I'm fine. Your check's on the way.'"
Another girl said, "My favorite movie is "Annie" and I loved you as Miss Hannigan. My question is, what's the best advice that you've received from a kid?"
"A Little Help with Carol Burnett" premieres Friday on Netflix.

Crazy Rich Asians is a milestone moment for the AAPI community. Whether romcoms are your jam or not, it's the first time in 25 years for a studio movie to feature an all Asian cast, and the producers and creators of this film were incredibly intentional in making sure this hit the big screen!
We wanted to celebrate this moment in style, so we've bought out a 7pm showing at Cinemark Lincoln Square in Bellevue. Join us in making this opening weekend impactful and showcasing what we've known all along: that there is a demand for AAPI faces and narratives in Hollywood.
Grab your tickets now before they run out! NAAAP and TAPS have only been allocated a small number of tickets and they will go quickly.

The Party of Five
Shaun 'Profeci' Murrell
Esports, in contrast to physical sports, has often struggled to assign value to the roles in its various disciplines. While it is easy enough to mark out the support or the awper or the dps in their respective games, it is much more difficult to correctly identify who is most critical to the success of a team. The hero of the story, or primary protagonist so to speak. In my time watching esports I've come to think of teams as a Five-Man Band. This term is originally derived from music, but it has since been used to describe party dynamics in other media (including movies, TV shows, and literature).
What is the Five-Man band? Well it's the most common setup of a five-piece band from the 1960s and 1970s with a Lead Singer, Lead Guitarist, Drummer, Keyboardist, and Backup Singer. That's the textbook, though to me its the five person party you most often see in a movie or series. It seemed a fitting analogue to the way teams had built themselves around superstar players in early Dota 2 and League of Legends. The superstar carry or mid-laner was the primary character in a party of five. I've since thought of teams as parties of five, each matching some general characteristics. These are not the role a player plays or a position they hold, such as AD Carry. This instead serves as a description of what function they serve in a team and how the team is structured.
The original members of a Five-Man Band are: The Leader (Lead Singer), The Lancer (Lead Guitarist), The Big Guy (Drummer), The Smart Guy (Keyboard), and The Chick (Backup Singer). My version is: The Hero, The Lancer, The Big Guy, The Smart Guy, and The Glue Guy.
The Hero is the primary star on a team. This is the player the team is built around and is designed to maximise the potential of. Examples include Marcelo "coldzera" David, Amer "Miracle-" Al-Barkawi, or Lee "Faker" Sang-hyeok. The person who day in, day out, will deliver the performances that carry your team over the line, the person to land the final blow and defeat the enemy. Whether they are the carry or the top-laner, the awper or the tank, they are your best player and the most important part of the team. If this were an anime then we're talking about Goku.
The dark to The Hero's light, the yin to their yang, the offence to your defence. The Lancer is the next biggest threat on your team. If The Hero is an aggressive flashy player then The Lancer is the defensive rock on which The Hero stands. If The Hero is the Rock then The Lancer is the loose cannon who goes wild. They tend to be the flashy player that takes over games on occasion, arguably the biggest weapon in your arsenal but not the most reliable one. Examples include Peter "dupreeh" Rothmann, Saahil "UNiVeRsE" Arora, and Paul "sOAZ" Boyer. In a Star Wars film you're looking at Han Solo.
Otherwise known as they who carry the heavy loads. The soldier. The guy who is going to run through a brick wall for your team and keeping doing it until either the enemy is dead or they died trying. They are solid, dependable, and can usually be found in the middle of the pack. They rarely light up the scoreboard but they keep trucking and opening up the space needed for The Hero and The Lancer to work their magic. Current Big Guys in esports include Dan "apEX" Madesclaire, Gustav "s4" Magnusson, and Jung "Impact" Eon-yeong. In a Lord of the Rings movie this is Gimli the Dwarf.
The Smart Guy
The Smart Guy is the reedy, bespeckled genius who comes up with the plan to save the day. He won't knock anyone out but without him the rest of the crew won't make it out of the trouble they're in. They are the primary voice in the team and call the shots which the others follow for good or ill. They're the leaders whose job it is to fit everyone into the system and find the best way to forge ahead. Examples include Peter "ppd" Dager, Kevin "Ex6TenZ" Droolans, and Hai "Hai" Du Lam. If you're watching The Simpsons this is Lisa.
The Glue Guy
This is the everyman, the often-forgotten dependable guy who does all of the work to fill the gaps and keep everyone upbeat in the darkest hour. They keep the team together by doing the jobs no one else wants. They're the jack of all trades, but the master of none (as the old adage goes). This is the player you depend on to help make your heavy hitters hit harder. They throw the flashbang for The Hero or pop healing to keep The Big Guy alive for that vital extra second or two. Classic Glue Guys are Ruben "RUBINO" Villarroel, Lu "Fenrir" Chao, and Bae "Bengi" Seong-woong. Hawkeye from the Avengers is the perfect fit for this spot.
So now that the members of the band are identified I'm sure you're asking yourself, "Why can't there be two Heroes or no Glue Guy? How do they work together?" The reason you can't have multiple players who represent The Hero or The Smart Guy is the same reason you can't have two lead singers in a band. If they both try to sing the same part of a song you get a terrible mess, but if they sing together they create magic as a contrast to one another and also who's on drums then? Each member works with the others to create a piece of music. Only together can it succeed and become great. Two Heroes would both think that they're meant to defeat the enemy alone but The Lancer understands that by landing the punch that staggers the opposition, it creates the opening for The Hero to land that knockout punch.
This is how I try to think of teams when I'm modeling them. Agree? Disagree? How do you model your teams?

Marvel Two-in-One #3: Inside Black Spectre!
The story starts with Mr. Fantastic running some tests on Wundarr, and effectively deducing that Wundarr was brought up in isolation (and is thus simply uneducated, and not mentally disabled). Some sort of shock wave explodes off Wundarr as Reed explains that Wundarr is a kind of radiation sponge and expels the excess energy when he reaches his storage limit. The shock wave sends rubble blowing out of the Baxter Building, nearly clipping Daredevil, who's swinging by, and knocking him loose from his billy club. After breaking his fall thanks to a handy wrecking crane, a flagpole, and an awning, Daredevil gets up and heads for the Baxter Building to retrieve his billy club.
Inside, DD runs into Ben and retrieves the club with Reed's help, during which time we learn Reed has made Wundarr a special suit to control the energy. While Ben goes to dress the kid, Daredevil departs.
Page 27, Panel 4. "Attack! With the living power of Hate! So speaks Nekra, Princess of Darkness!" To which Ben replies: "Yeah? Then -- It's Clobberin' Time! So speaks the ever-lovin' blue-eyed Thing! Nyaaah!"
Nope. not in this issue.
The Thing last appeared in Giant-Sized Fantastic Four #2, and next appears in Daredevil #110, which continues directly from this issue.
Daredevil, the Black Widow, Shanna the She-Devil, Mandrill, Nekra, Commissioner O'Hara, and the Mandrill's Black Spectre organization all appear here between Daredevil #109 and #110. Foggy Nelson's sister Candace Nelson appears here between Daredevil #109 and #111.
Mr. Fantastic appears here between Giant-Sized Fantastic Four #2 and MTIO #4. Wundarr appears here between MTIO #2 and #3.
This is the first part of a two-parter that finishes up in Daredevil 110. By the by, I heartily recommend that you _don't_ pick up Daredevil 110 if you're a Ben Grimm fan. When that issue starts, Daredevil immediately hops out of the Fantasticar and swings away- Ben doesn't appear in the issue after page two.

Pittsburgh's Alexandra Bodnarchuk debuts her new work 'CONNOTATIONS: unknown'

The fleeting nature of interpersonal relations is the theme of dancer and choreographer Alexandra Bodnarchuk's latest production, CONNOTATIONS: unknown. The 45-minute modern-dance work will be performed May 2 and May 4 at PearlArts Studios.
Bodnarchuk, 24, is a Pittsburgh native who graduated from Ohio University in 2012 with degrees in dance and French. A new dancemaker on the local scene, Bodnarchuk says she likes to create choreography with her dancers using structured improvisation exercises. She adds that her movement language has a sense of weightiness to it. She was inspired to create CONNOTATIONS: unknown by her experiences as a performer in Bricolage Productions' 2012 show STRATA.
In that immersive-theater work, Bodnarchuk portrayed "the last girl left at prom": In one-on-one encounters with audience members, she briefly slow-danced with them in a darkened room. It was one of a series "refitnessing tests" at the fictitious STRATA center, aimed at achieving the worry-free state of "iConsciousness." Bodnarchuk says she wanted to recreate the sense of "blind connection" she felt as the prom girl, dancing with strangers she could barely see.
CONNOTATIONS: unknown is arranged in three sections. It's set to a soundscape edited by Steve Hudock and featuring music by Pittsburgh's Dave Bernabo, along with recorded dialogue and sound effects.

In the first section, which was previewed at the Kelly-Strayhorn Theater's 2013 newMoves Contemporary Dance Festival, Bodnarchuk and four other dancers perform in and out of the spotlight, being briefly glimpsed and then disappearing into darkness. Bodnarchuk likens this section to "going through life within yourself."
The second part is an emotional duet, performed and co-choreographed by Bodnarchuk and dancer Zek Stewart. Bodnarchuk and Stewart dance while wearing blindfolds, and their duet goes from nurturing to violent. "We allow ourselves to be pushed to the brink in order to come back from it," says Bodnarchuk.
The work's final section is a solo in which Bodnarchuk explores the emotional void after Stewart's character departs. Says Bodnarchuk: "I work through everything that has happened to me, to once again adjust to being on my own."
The show's May 2 performance features a guest performance by students from Factory Street Studio in Athens, Ohio.
Alexandra Bodnarchuk presents CONNOTATIONS: unknown; 8 p.m. Fri., May 2, and 7:30 p.m. Sun., May 4. PearlArts Studios, 201 N. Braddock Ave., Point Breeze. $10 ($5 artist tickets May 4 only). alexandrabodnarchuk.org/tickets

Aesha Ash
30 December 1977 – Aesha Ash
Born in Rochester, New York, on 30 December 1977 to Costello and John Ash, Aesha Ash grew up in a strong, supportive working class family with two brothers, Spencer and Jonathan Ash. From the age of five Ash took jazz and tap lessons.
At 13 years of age, past the time when most girls begin ballet lessons, Ash was accepted into what is recognized as one of the most prominent classical ballet schools in the world and the official ballet school of the New York City Ballet, the School of American Ballet (SAB). Ash proved to be such a tremendously gifted dancer that in only a few years, during her last year with SAB, she received the Mae L. Wien Award for Outstanding Promise. At age 18, Ash became a corps member of City Ballet in New York City. That year in 1996, at the beginning of her professional career, Ash was the only African American woman member of the City Ballet, and for most of the next seven-and-a-half years that she was with the company she remained so.
Ash's strong and graceful pointe work is in full display in the 2000 movie Center Stage, where she appears as Zoe Saldana's dance double.
In 2003 Ash left City Ballet to join the famed Béjart Ballet in Lausanne, Switzerland, as soloist. While enjoying success in Europe with Béjart, Ash nevertheless often felt isolated, and after two years in Switzerland she returned to the United States and joined Alonzo King's LINES Ballet in San Francisco. That company was innovative in its use of dancers trained in classical ballet, but employing improvisational and contemporary choreography. Ash found a revival of her love for dancing with King's troupe.
Recalling how empowered and encouraged she felt when, as a student at SAB, she would see African American ballerina Andrea Long's picture on the staircase in the dorms of the school, Ash was inspired to create The Swan Dreams Project. The project is Ash's vehicle to try to "change the hearts and minds of the ballet audience" and to introduce the world of classical ballet to inner city youth. Ash especially wants to inspire young women of color to believe in their own strength and beauty, and to show the world that beauty and grace are not defined by race or socio-economic status.
Ash lives with with husband Natale Ruello, an engineer, and their two children. Although Ash is retired from dancing, in August 2020 it was announced that she would be the first African American full-time faculty member at the New York City School of American Ballet.

His resignation was seen as an effort to help the Jamaica Labour Party, his party, in the upcoming general election. Golding was replaced by Andrew Holness. However, […]

In Florida, 5 Rascal Flatts restaurants stalled before ever opening. A former Mafia soldier was behind them.

Editor's note: The words, audio and video in this story contain profanity that some might find disturbing. The raw language is essential to characterize the business dealings of the story's main subject. More about this series.
A former Mafia soldier is behind a chain of failed Rascal Flatts restaurant projects across the country, including several in Florida.
Arizona businessman Frank Capri apparently orchestrated the closure of Rascal Flatts restaurant projects in Gainesville and Orlando. Three others were planned in Fort Lauderdale, Miami and Tampa.
An investigation by The Arizona Republic found Capri controlled key aspects of the Rascal Flatts projects, even though his name can't be found on public documents tied to the projects.
Capri is best known for epic failure of another country-themed restaurant chain. He operated a nationwide chain of Toby Keith's I Love this Bar and Grill restaurants that abruptly closed in 2015 amid allegations of fraud, contract breaches, unpaid rent, stiffing contractors or unpaid taxes.
One Toby Keith restaurant opened in Florida, and two others were planned and not built.
The Toby Keith's at Artegon Marketplace in Orlando opened in January 2015 and closed in July 2015. Lawsuits and liens filed by the landlord and contractors accused Boomtown of failing to pay rent and not paying contractors. The owners of the Orlando mall sued and obtained a $3.8 million judgment against Capri and his companies in 2015.
Announced restaurant projects at Lakeland Square Mall in Lakeland and Roosevelt Square Mall in Jacksonville never were built.

By late 2017, judges had ordered Capri and his companies to pay more than $65 million in judgments.
The Rascal Flatts projects in Florida exploded last year amid a state contractor's investigation and claims that unlicensed builders were working on jobs across the state.
Phone calls recorded by one of Capri's contractors show how Capri tried to control the damage and how he discussed moving contractors from city to city to take advantage of a loophole in state laws.
"Here's exactly what happened out there," Capri says in one of the calls. "You weren't licensed in Florida, so Paul went out and got me a contractor .. The deal was the same deal I worked with you. Twelve grand. I used his license. And we work under his license. That was it, OK? That guy went and screwed us over. So what's the investigation? There's nothing there. It's all talk. It's all talk. And it's all hype. 'Ooh, ooh, there must be something going on. There must be something going on.' There's nothing going on. Stupid s--t."
Capri's secret, violent history
Before he was accused of using his Toby Keith restaurants to defraud developers out of tens of millions of dollars, Capri was Frank Gioia Jr., a "made man" in New York City's notorious Lucchese Crime Family.
Frank Capri didn't exist until 1999, when the federal government gave him his name, Social Security number and a 1967 birthday through the Federal Witness Protection Program.
He was born Frank Gioia Jr., a third-generation mobster. Mafia historians call him one of the most important government witnesses ever to testify against the mob.
Frank Capri received witness protection and used his new identity to wreak havoc on developers who wanted Toby Keith restaurants. Then, he did it again. Patrick Breen, Arizona Republic
His cooperation with law enforcement led to the conviction of more than 70 Mafia members — soldiers, captains, capos and bosses — in the 1990s and 2000s. He helped clear several unsolved murders.
The Republic in 2017 documented Capri's transition from gangster to witness to businessman.
The authorities who put Capri into the Federal Witness Protection Program won't talk about the string of financial failures and lawsuits left in his wake.
Capri has declined multiple interview requests. Through a lawyer, Capri has said stories about his past were "false and defamatory" but has offered no proof to support his claims. He denied pocketing development money and described the Toby Keith closures as nothing "other than the product of a business failure."
What happened in Gainesville
Rascal Flatts restaurants were planned in Boise, Chicago, Cleveland, Des Moines, Los Angeles, Pittsburgh, St. Louis and a dozen other cities. Only one restaurant opened. It closed about a year later. The others never were completed.
Las Vegas-based RF Restaurants was registered in the names of Capri's girlfriend and her business associate.

Capri relied on them to front the restaurants, phone recordings, text messages, documents and interviews show. Working behind the scenes, Capri oversaw hiring, firing, employee payments, permits, construction schedules and collection of development fees.

The Rascal Flatts project at Celebration Pointe in Gainesville was the flash point. Contractors who worked there said state building inspectors became concerned over a worker's compensation claim.
They initially targeted an Arizona contractor named Ray Roshto and sent notices indicating he was going to be fined.
Ray Roshto (Photo: Robert Anglen/The Republic)
Roshto is the owner of Ussher Construction in Glendale, Arizona. He said Capri hired him in 2017 to launch five Rascal Flatts projects, none of which were in Florida.
He said investigators told him that his name and license had been attached to project applications in Florida. Roshto, who is not licensed in Florida, said it was done without his knowledge.
Roshto provided hundreds of texts and recorded phone calls with Capri. On the calls, Capri orders contractors, dictates construction schedules. He also told Roshto not to worry about Florida fines.
"Hear me out, OK?" Capri says in one of the recorded calls. "You're working yourself up into a frenzy, OK? And we're on top of it. I don't know how many times I've got to tell you that, OK? And I'll have a conversation with you and you'll call me three times more, five times, six times more about the same things we just spoke about … If you do get fined I'm paying it. It's 750 bucks. It could go up to $1,000. You're not getting fined $30,000. You're not responsible for the whole job."
Celebration Pointe mall officials declined to discuss the project. They announced the Rascal Flatts restaurant in May 2018 with a promise of Southern-fried eats and live music. By August, the project was dead.
Celebration Pointe sued to unwind the deal and won an eviction in October.

Charlie Morris is the owner of Premier Plumbing in Florida. He said he is among those "ripped off by Frank Capri" in Gainesville.
Morris said contractors in Florida were promised payments as soon as RF Restaurants got "draws" from the developer. But he said the payments wren't forthcoming even after draws were paid.

Morris said all of his communication was with Capri through another contractor.
Morris said he lost $25,000 on the job but doubts he will file a lawsuit.
In February 2018, developers announced Rascal Flatts would be part of the $750 million Margaritaville Resort Orlando. It was supposed to be included as part of the development's initial phase, called Sunset Walk.
It never happened.
John Dowd III, president of the Dowd Companies, which owns the mall, declined comment on Capri or the restaurant.

Roshto said Capri wanted his name kept off contracts and agreed to pay Roshto through a company called RF Investments.
RF managers Tawny Costa and Chris Burka oversaw a paper empire of Rascal Flatts restaurants in Las Vegas. One or both of them were listed as managers on nearly 20 separate RF filings with the Nevada secretary of state.

Developers didn't know Costa was Capri's longtime girlfriend and the mother of two of his children. Nor did they know Burka considered himself a minority partner with little financial control over businesses he said were structured by Costa's attorney.
In a March 5 email, Costa said she had no interest or ownership in the projects.
"I had no involvement, contact, or contractual obligation to any developer in any RF project nor am I responsible for any of the obligations of the owners of said company," she said.
Her attorney said Costa was not involved in any project negotiations and had no role in RF Restaurants' day-to-day operations.
Burka disputed her claims and said she duped him. He said Costa had all of the financial and operational control. He said he did not realize Capri was involved until much later.
'Rascal Flatts, this was all Frank'
Roshto said Costa and Burka were minor players compared with Capri.
"Rascal Flatts, this was all Frank," Roshto said. "He handled all the trades (sub-contractors) and all the money."
Contractors said Capri used a sophisticated system of fake invoices and exaggerated construction schedules to squeeze as much cash as he could from each project with the least amount of work. After a few months it became clear Capri wasn't interested in finishing the projects, Roshto said.
The first and only Rascal Flatts restaurant to open

The first — and last — Rascal Flatts restaurant opened in Stamford, Connecticut, in August 2017. It closed about a year later amid allegations that Costa and Burka's companies failed to pay more than $1.1 million in rent.
Mall developers in Los Angeles and Pittsburgh also sued Burka and Costa's companies, winning evictions and judgments.
Band walks away from restaurant deal
Rascal Flatts yanked its licensing agreement late last year. In a Jan. 11 post on Twitter, the band told fans it wanted to clear up any confusion about its involvement in the restaurants.
"Because we know you have been looking forward to enjoying our themed restaurants, we wanted to let you know that this project is no longer happening," the band tweeted.
It pointed out it wasn't "responsible for any obligations" of RF Restaurants.

Every year many beautiful live Christmas trees are sold everywhere. People choose their trees, leaving behind trees that are not so perfect. So by Christmas Eve there are all these fairly ugly orphan Christmas trees that no one chose to bring home. Around 4 pm on Christmas Eve, my dad and a couple of my brothers would set out and make the rounds of Christmas tree lots in our town. Many vendors had already closed, leaving their derelict trees behind, or sometimes vendors were willing at this point just to give us an ugly tree. Dad and brothers would tie the tree to the roof of the car and bring it home. My mom, God bless her, would be horrified at the sight of the chosen tree, but we children thought it was "cool" that we had again rescued an orphan tree! Dad would set to work with his hand drill. He would cut limbs off at the bottom of the tree and insert them into holes in the bare spaces on the trunk. We would put the worst side of the tree against the wall, decorate it, and soon there would be a beautiful live orphan Christmas tree dressed to greet the Lord on Christmas morn.
The feast of Christmas is not only about Jesus and Mary and Joseph and angels and shepherds. This feast is also about us. It is because God wants us to be in love with God, and in union with God, that God became incarnate in Jesus. The incarnation, God's union with humanity, is God's way of saving orphan trees and giving them a purpose and a role. God works with us, bringing us to perfection, helping us straighten our crooked trunks and fill in our bare spots, making us beautiful and decorating us with grace. Then we can fulfill our destiny of reflecting the Glory of God in our humanity.
Take a quiet moment to gaze on a beautiful Christmas tree this year and meditate on how God wants union with you! Can you see how you have grown more spiritually beautiful through the years, even if a few needles have fallen off? God has chosen you! And me, and us, his Church. And so each weekend at Eucharist we sing again the original Christmas carol, the words of the Christmas angels: Glory to God in the highest!

Graf Carl Gustaf Mannerheim [] (* 10. August 1797 in Askainen; † 9. Oktober 1854 in Stockholm) war ein finnischer Politiker und Entomologe.

Leben
Carl Gustav war der älteste Sohn von Carl Erik Mannerheim (1759–1837). Er trat in den Staatsdienst und arbeitete ab 1819 als Sekretär in Sankt Petersburg. 1833 wurde er zum Gouverneur der Provinz Vaasa und wenig später auch von Wyborg ernannt. Von 1839 bis zu seinem Tode war er Präsident des Hofgerichts in Wyborg.

Daneben widmete sich Mannerheim entomologischen Studien und baute eine wissenschaftliche Käfer-Sammlung auf. Dabei lag sein territorialer Sammelschwerpunkt auf dem westlichen Nordamerika, damals Russisch-Amerika. Er war jedoch nie in dieser Provinz, sondern ließ sich durch Helfer zuarbeiten.

Mannerheim war seit 1827 korrespondierendes Mitglied der Russischen Akademie der Wissenschaften in Sankt Petersburg und seit 1825 Auswärtiges Mitglied der Schwedischen Akademie der Wissenschaften. Er wurde mit dem russischen Sankt-Stanislaus-Orden ausgezeichnet und war Ritter des Sankt-Wladimir-Ordens. Als 1838 La Société Cuvierienne gegründet wird, war er eines der 140 Gründungsmitglieder der Gesellschaft.

Carl Gustaf Mannerheim war mit Eva Vilhelmina von Schantz (1810–1895) verheiratet. Das Paar hatte drei Töchter und drei Söhne, u. a. Carl Robert Mannerheim (1835–1914). Dessen drittes Kind war Carl Gustaf Emil Mannerheim.

As well as some of the most famous names from British history, the crypt of St Paul's is home to the burials and memorials of hundreds of others who aren't as instantly recognisable, but are perhaps better known though their works and deeds.
One memorial, past which hundreds of people walk every day, is to the poet W E Henley - a man with a great story and fascinating connections.
"I am the master of my fate,
I am the captain of my soul."
These two lines of poetry are Henley's most famous, taken from the poem, Invictus, known and loved around the world - a message of fortitude in the face of adversity, the title of which translates as 'unconquerable'.
Written in 1875 as Henley was recovering from tuberculosis which had meant the loss of a leg, the poem has stood the test of time and is still much revered. The poem is closely associated with Nelson Mandela, who would read it aloud to his fellow prisoners on Robben Island. Clint Eastwood would later make it into a film of the same name, starring Matt Damon and Morgan Freeman as Mandela.
And more recently the 'Invictus' name has been given to the sporting tournament for injured and recovering military personnel from across the world, spearheaded by HRH Prince Harry.
An essayist, editor and critic of high-regard, Henley cut quite the figure in Victorian England and his legacy lives on in many ways.
Being a friend of the author Robert Louis Stevenson, Henley became the inspiration for the most famous ever literary pirate, Long John Silver, in Treasure Island. Silver, like Henley, only had one leg, and Henley was described by Stephenson's stepson as "...a great, glowing, massive-shouldered fellow with a big red beard and a crutch; jovial, astoundingly clever, and with a laugh that rolled like music; he had an unimaginable fire and vitality; he swept one off one's feet."
Through his friendship with another author, J M Barrie, Henley's daughter would also be forever immortalised in one of the most loved children's stories, Peter Pan. Five-year-old Margaret Henley would call Barrie her 'friendy-wendy', and the second part stuck, meaning the character Wendy Darling was born. Wendy had not been a recognised girl's name before that point and Barrie is credited with making it popular. Unfortunately Margaret would only live to the age of five.
A final 'celebrity' connection can be seen in the memorial in St Paul's crypt. If you look very closely at the bronze bust you can just make out the name 'A. Rodin'.
A committed Francophile, Henley had become a friend of the great French sculptor, Auguste Rodin, a friendship that would see the artist create a number of works to Henley after his death.
Having suffered many sicknesses form a young age, Henley was to die in 1903 at the age of 53.
Although he wrote much poetry it is Invictus, the final verse of which refers to the Gospel of Matthew, that remains probably his only known work. A biographer wrote: "By virtue of a single poem William Ernest Henley remains at once the most freely quoted and the most thoroughly neglected of Victorian lyrists."
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeoning of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find me, unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

Brazilians see metaphor for their struggles in museum fire
RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) -- Firefighters dug through the burned-out hulk of Brazil's National Museum on Monday, a day after flames gutted the building, as the country mourned the irreplaceable treasures lost and pointed fingers over who was to blame.
The museum held Latin America's largest collection of historical artifacts, and the damage was feared to be catastrophic. One official told a Brazilian news outlet that as much as 90 percent of the building's contents may have been destroyed.
For many in Brazil, the state of the 200-year-old natural history museum quickly became a metaphor for what they see as the gutting of Brazilian culture and life during years of corruption, economic collapse and poor governance.
"It's a crime that the museum was allowed to get to this shape," said Laura Albuquerque, a 29-year-old dance teacher who was in a crowd protesting outside the gates. "What happened isn't just regrettable, it's devastating, and politicians are responsible for it."
The cause of the fire that broke out Sunday night was not known. Federal police will investigate since the museum was part of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro. But protesters, commentators and museum directors themselves said years of government neglect had left the museum so underfunded that its staff had turn to crowdfunding sites to open exhibitions.
Luiz Fernando Dias Duarte, the museum's deputy director, criticized authorities for starving the museum of vital funding while spending lavishly on stadiums to host the World Cup in 2014.
"The money spent on each one of those stadiums - a quarter of that would have been enough to make this museum safe and resplendent," he said in an interview in front of the still-smoldering ruins aired on Brazilian television.
Roberto Leher, rector of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, said it was well known that the building was vulnerable to fire and in need of extensive repairs. Duarte said he was in the habit of unplugging everything in his office at night because of the risk.
Civil defense authorities were concerned that internal walls and the roof could collapse further, so officials had to wait to conduct a full accounting of losses.
Duarte said that anything held in the main building was likely destroyed. Cristiana Serejo, a vice-director of the museum, told the G1 news portal that as little as 10 percent of the collection may have survived. The collection included pieces that belonged to the royal family and a painting by the Brazilian artist Candido Portinari.
The building, which was once home to the royal family, also housed extensive paleontological, anthropological and biological specimens. It was home to a skull called Luzia that was among the oldest fossils ever found in the Americas. It also held an Egyptian mummy and the largest meteorite ever discovered in Brazil - one of the few objects that officials could confirm had survived.
Brazil has struggled to emerge from a two-year recession and seen its political and corporate elite jailed in Latin America's largest corruption investigation. The country has been riven with deep political divisions following the impeachment and removal of former President Dilma Rousseff.
The protesters gathered outside the museum gates tried several times to push into the site, demanding to see the damage and calling on the government to rebuild. Police held the crowd back with pepper spray, tear gas and batons.
"This fire is what Brazilian politicians are doing to the people," said Rosana Hollanda, a 35-year-old high school history teacher, who was crying. "They're burning our history, and they're burning our dreams."
Signs of disrepair were evident: The fencing was dilapidated, stonework was cracked and lawns appeared untended.
The museum's budget had fallen from around $130,000 in 2013 to around $84,000 last year, according to Marcio Martins, a spokesman for the museum. This year was on track to include an increase from last year.
In a sign of how strapped the museum was, when a termite infestation last year forced the closure of room that house a 13-yard-long dinosaur skeleton, officials turned to crowdfunding to raise the money to reopen the room.
The institution had recently secured approval for nearly $5 million for a planned renovation, including an upgrade of the fire-prevention system, officials said.
"Look at the irony. The money is now there, but we ran out of time," museum Director Alexander Kellner told reporters at the scene.
President Michel Temer announced Monday that private and public banks, as well as mining giant Vale and state-run oil company Petrobras, have agreed to help rebuild the museum and reconstitute its collections.
French President Emmanuel Macron offered, in a tweet made in French, to send experts to help rebuild the museum.
Brazil is in the midst of a national election campaign and some candidates on the left seized on the fire as an example of the disastrous effects of budget cuts implemented by Temer's government. The budget data showed that cuts to the museum's budget began under the previous left-wing government.
Fire department spokesman Roberto Robadey said firefighters got off to a slow start because the two fire hydrants closest to the museum did not work. Instead, trucks had to gather water from a nearby lake.
There were fire extinguishers in the museum, but it was not clear if there were sprinklers, which are problematic for museums because water can damage objects, Kellner said. Serejo said that smoke detectors were not working.
Marcus Guidoti, a doctoral candidate in zoology who had visited the museum to study insect specimens, said the neglect dates back years.
"Let this free us from the ignorance that fails to appreciate culture, science and our national identity," he wrote on Twitter.

Can you guess the blonde bombshell? She's the bikini designer who was once rumoured to be dating Justin Bieber... but can YOU recognise the celebrity in this childhood throwback?
She's as memorable for her swimwear label as she is for posting scantily-clad images of her body online.
But in a bid to celebrate her mother's birthday on Saturday, this Australian bombshell decided to share a number of childhood snaps to Instagram.
Seen as a pint-sized toddler in many of these photos, can you guess this bikini designer and model?
The 24-year-old stunner, who bears a striking resemblance to her mother judging by the pics, posted a number of grainy images from her time as a youngster.
Many of the images, one of which sees her mother smoking a cigarette in a pink bikini behind her, are set against the backdrop of a beach.
This fact is hardly surprising given the woman's upbringing - she's the daughter of an iconic big-wave surfer.
In recent years she shot to fame after being linked to Justin Bieber during a trip to Hawaii.
The 24-year-old has also been linked to high-profile celebrity hunks Jordan Barrett and Cody Simpson.
Also the daughter of surfer Tony Ray, the person in the pictures is none other than Sahara Ray.
Sahara designs her own swimwear under her label Sahara Ray Swim, which is much loved by A-listers like Kim Kardashian.
The buxom babe is certainly no stranger when it comes to baring her physique, leaving little to the imagination when posting pictures of herself online.

Q: Given $x+y+z=3$, how do I maximize $xy+yz+zx-xyz$? Given non-negative numbers $x,y,z$ such that $x+y+z=3$. How do I maximize $xy+yz+zx-xyz$. I found out that the maximum is 2 and equality holds when one of the numbers is 1 and the other two sum up to 2 but had no idea how to prove it. Can someone help please?

A: Since the expression is symmetric, we can assume $z \leq 1$. Note that $xy+yz+zx-xyz=xy(1-z) + z(x+y) = xy(1-z)+z(3-z)$. It means that for given fixed $z \leq 1$, the maximum is reached when $xy$ is maximized (as $1-z\geq0$), and since $x+y=3-z$ is fixed, it happens when $x=y=\frac{3-z}{2}$. Therefore the expression now becomes a polynomial in $z$: $$P(z)=(\frac{3-z}{2})^2(1-z)+z(3-z)=(3-z)(\frac{(3-z)(1-z)}{4}+z)=(3-z)(\frac{z^2}{4}+\frac{3}{4})=\frac{-z^3+3z^2-3z+9}{4}$$ And we want to find it's maximum where $z \in [0,1]$. However it is easy to see that $P$ is positive and decreasing on $[0,1]$, therefore the maximum is when $z=0$ and $P(0)=\frac{9}{4}$ is the maximum. From the proof it follows that the maximum is reached when two of $x,y,z$ are equal to $\frac{3}{2}$ and the other is $0$.

A: Suppoose $x  = \max \{x,y,z\},$ then $x \geqslant 1,$ therefore
$$xy+yz+zx-xyz \leqslant xy+yz+zx-xyz + yz(x-1) = x(y+z).$$
By the AM-GM inequality, we have
$$x(y+z)  \leqslant \left(\frac{x+y+z}{2}\right)^2 = \frac94.$$
Equality hold for $x=y=\frac{3}{2},\,z=0.$

A: We can equivalently want to maximize:
$$
\begin{aligned}
(1-x)(1-y)(1-z)
&=1-\underbrace{(x+y+z)}_{=3}+(xy+yz+zx)-xyz\\
&=-2 + (xy+yz+zx)-xyz\\[3mm]
&\qquad\text{ so let us substitute }\\
X&=1-x\ ,\\
Y&=1-y\ , \\
Z&=1-z\ .\qquad\text{ These variables satisfy:}\\
X+Y+Z &= 3-(x+y+z)=0\ ,\text{ and}\\
(*)\qquad 1&\ge X,Y,Z\ .
\end{aligned}
$$
The maximum of $XYZ$ is of course positive, obtained when we arrange for two of the variables to be negative, and one positive. We will assume (w.l.o.g) for this $X,Y\le 0$, so $Z\ge 0$.
The positive variable $Z$ is then the only one suffering from the restriction $(*)$, and we have only the condition $Z\le 1$. If $Z< 1$, we can change multiplicatively $X,Y,Z$ by multiplying them each by $1/Z$, the sum remains zero, the product gets bigger by the factor $(1/Z)^3>1$. So we may and do assume $Z=1$ while maximizing. This implies $X+Y=-1$, and of course the product $XY$ is maximal for $X=Y=-\frac12$.
We come back to the $(x,y,z)$ world and obtain a maximal value for $x=y=1-\left(-\frac 12 \right)=\frac 32$ and $z=1-1=0$. Since $z=0$, the only term surviving is $xy$, the maximal value is thus $\left(\frac 32\right)^2=\frac 94>2$.

Q: How to get rotational speed after disk-disk collision with friction? Assume two circular disks A and B collide. They have both initial linear momentum and angular momentum. If their surface has no friction, their angular velocity does not change after collision, so I can easily calculate their final linear and angular momentum.
But what if their surface has some friction? In that case, their angular velocity will change after collision, and I can't guess how they will change.
If the friction coefficient $\mu$ is given, can I calculate their final linear and angular momentum?

A: Considering both the discs as the system , we can conserve angular momentum about their collinear axis of rotation .
The torque due to friction will decrease the angular velocity of the disc having more angular momentum (before the collision ) while the torque will increase angular velocity of the one which had lesser initial angular momentum .
I am assuming the most general case in which you might have got stuck up since you havent given enough information

Eric Francis, on the Uranus/Pluto process: "We are, as of this moment, embarking on what may be the most profound phase of the extended 2012 era — from October 2013 through August 2014. . .
. . . Confronted with this information, some astrologers will say hold on and some will say let go. I will say: stoke your vision, pay attention and look where you want to be."
Eric Francis presents an excellent astrological analysis and forecast of the deep structural changes in society that we have embarked upon as we now head into the heart of the Uranus/Pluto whirlwind. Though complex, his narrative weave of the forming and dissolving planetary triggers to the Uranus/Pluto process is clear, descriptive, and pointed. I especially like the final advice: "look where you want to be."
When I was learning how to telemark ski, I was afraid I would slam into the trees on the mountainside. My friend Lyn responded: "Look at the space between the trees . . ." Duh! I got it.
A couple of years later, when my new, city born and bred partner Jeff was driving over steep Teton Pass in a car for the first time, he was terrified of the yawning chasm off to his left. I responded, "Look at the road, Jeff, look at the road."

Astrological Hurricane Season
by Eric Francis
planetwaves
It's now hurricane season, a time of year when the conditions are correct for the formation of big, cyclonic storms. Hurricanes get their energy from the ocean's warmth, and as the oceans have increased in temperature, more energy is available. You might describe the positions of the planets this way as well: the hotter they get, the more energy is available here on Earth.
The short version of the story is that the Sun is now moving through the Uranus-Pluto square — what I call the 2012-era aspect. We are also about to experience two powerful eclipses concurrent with Mercury retrograde in Scorpio. The combined result will be a sustained phase of planetary energy that will make itself known many ways.
In one sense the whole year has led to this moment — the extended moment of autumn 2013. In reality the setup goes back a lot further; let's see if I can bring you up to date. (If you want further background, search for an article called The Road to Xibalba in the Planet Waves archives.)

Around 2008, an aspect pattern started forming, which involved Pluto ingressing Capricorn. If you were following the astrology blogs at the time, it was just about the only topic going. Pluto is a slow-mover (the slowest-moving planet used by most astrologers, who will be catching up to the Kuiper Belt and Eris in their next lifetimes). Slow means influential; slow means that Pluto events last a while. Pluto means that nothing is the same after he's come through town.
Speculation about Pluto in Capricorn goes back many years; it was perceived in advance as one of those really ominous transits, and now we are in the midst of it. Pluto in a sign helps define a whole era of time, concentrating and focusing change in the topic areas associated with the sign in question. Depending on where Pluto is in its orbit, it can take between 12 and 30 years to make it through one sign. It will be in Capricorn until 2023-2024.
The subject area of Capricorn is the structure of society. Corporations, governments, families and traditions all are covered by Capricorn.
Pluto is both creative and destructive. It brings change, and in the path of those changes there can be considerable progress. Yet the door can also open up for some serious negativity. One example was the Saturn-Pluto opposition of 2001-2002. A few astrologers predicted terrorism for this era; none that I am aware of predicted a world war lasting 12 years and counting.
The first year that Pluto touched the foothills of Capricorn, we experienced the financial collapse of 2008. I can still see the smirk on Henry Paulson's face as he announced that the bailouts would begin, trying so hard to suppress his glee. I remember well John McCain suspending his presidential campaign, allegedly to solve the problem with his own bare hands. Financial institutions were collapsing in house-of-cards style, and the money was flowing freely.
Astrologers around the world muttered, "Pluto in Capricorn has begun." (Banking policy spotters around the world muttered, "yep, I told you so." They had.)
One of the momentous institutional failures at the beginning of Pluto in Capricorn was American International Group, a vast insurance company. Many banks were bailed out; many that you have not heard of went under. Photo by Neil Irwin.
In 2011, another (somewhat quicker) slow-mover — Uranus — ingressed Aries. On that very day (March 11, 2011), within hours of the ingress, a tsunami and earthquake took out a chunk of Japan, causing a huge mess at several nuclear power plants, the most famous of which was Fukushima.
Astrologers around the world muttered: "Oh shit. Uranus in Aries. And oh. Uranus square Pluto. Here we go." Those who follow global astrology no doubt noticed the connections of both transits to the Aries Point — the first degree of Aries, where all things political intersect with all things personal.
Everyone remembers 2011, the year the Uranus-Pluto square really began: the protests that spread through the Middle East and across North Africa; the protests in Wisconsin; and then that autumn, the worldwide Occupy movement began in a private park in New York City. Real people were taking their bodies to the scene of the crime and demanding action.
And you may remember, if you haven't suppressed it, the agony of that first month after the meltdowns in Japan, as the truth slowly came out. People who understand nuclear power know that it's perhaps the most personal-as-political thing there is if, for instance, a little strontium-90 lodges in one's bones.
The Uranus-Pluto square has been working its way across the signs Aries and Capricorn, and will make a total of seven contacts. The next one is on Nov. 1. It is the midpoint of the cycle — the fourth of seven events. There will be another during the next eclipse season, on April 21, 2014; and then another on Dec. 15, 2014. The last will be on March 16, 2015. Then the energy of the aspect will slowly wane, though it can do so with considerable influence, even for another five years.
Every now and then (quite a bit, lately), other planets get into the aspect pattern, and bring its properties out into the open. For example, Jupiter is now in Cancer, making what's called a T-square with Uranus and Pluto.
Recently Venus and then Mercury passed through Libra, completing a grand cross. Challenging events associated with Mercury's passage through the aspect were the Colorado floods and the mass shooting at the Navy Yard. When that Libra leg of the cross is filled, it can be intense. Part of that is because the grand cross is the most powerful aspect pattern. Adding to the energy is the fact that there's a little-known slow-moving planet, similar to Pluto, already in Libra opposite Uranus and square Pluto — Typhon, the namesake of typhoons.

The first thing that happens this autumn is that the Sun in Libra passes through the aspect structure. On Oct. 1, the Sun will square Pluto (that is deep, introspective and compelling changes that can take root on the soul level). On Oct. 3 it will make an opposition to Uranus (surprises, shocking developments, revelations, inventions), and over the next few days, a conjunction to Typhon (exactOct. 6) (perhaps passing through the eye of the storm). On Oct. 12, the Sun will make a square to Jupiter, which tends to magnify things and also provoke decisions.
Even if these aspects were happening inisolation from each other, we would feel them. That they are happening concentrated within a few days means there is likely to be a global effect. You don't need a crystal ball to guess what that effect might be — some lunatics in Congress are threatening to hold the United States, and by extension the world financial networks, hostage.
Their issue is that they don't want the Affordable Care Act (also called Obamacare, invented by the rightwing Heritage Foundation, enacted by Congress, signed by the president and approved by the Supreme Court) to be any further entrenched. This autumn is the time that the health insurance exchanges open in all 50 states.
If you live in England or Canada or Sweden or someplace civilized like that, this must sound awfully weird — to threaten to push the country into default, and/or to defund and therefore shut down the government, because a small minority of legislators don't like a law that provides health services for people. I wish I was making this up, then I could edit it and things would be different.
If that happens, we will certainly experience the Uranus-Pluto square full-on, in solar style. Note that the Sun, which is doing all the passing-through, in mundane astrology (the astrology of worldly affairs) represents the head of state. The fact that the head of state is going to have a wild ride for at least the first two weeks of October means that the whole government may be in turmoil.
Speaking of Oct. 1, that's the day that Mercury enters what's sometimes called shadow phase — the earliest measure of the Mercury retrograde effect beginning. The retrograde itself — the peak of the event, when Mercury appears to move in reverse longitude through the zodiac — begins on Oct. 21 and ends Nov. 10. The second shadow phase ends Nov. 27. This is definitely something to plan around. Follow the Planet Waves blog andPlanet Waves FM and your member editions for ongoing details, which will be useful to keep up with.
Typhon, the most fearsome monster of Greek mythology, was so terrible that it took Zeus himself to fight him. Now a planet by this name is part of the cardinal grand cross — Typhon, Jupiter, Uranus, Pluto — and in a moment, the Sun.
This is actually pretty good timing for most purposes in the Western world, since we leave Mercury retrograde behind around Thanksgiving, and well before the end-of-the-year madness reaches its peak. However, as this happens, Venus is warming up to one of its relatively rare retrogrades (Venus is retrograde least of all the planets). That takes place Dec. 21 through Jan. 31 (not including shadow phases). I will come back to that one next month.
Right in the mix of Mercury retrograde, making things especially interesting, is a pair of eclipses. Both are impressive in their own right. All eclipses come with a sense of acceleration, concentrated experiences and the feeling that fate is in operation. Eclipses are points of no return — and these two occur in the mix of much other astrology.
As for the eclipses — the first is the Aries Full Moon, which is a penumbral lunar eclipse. The Moon will pass through the outermost edge of the Earth's shadow on Friday, Oct. 18. One of the most interesting features of the eclipse is that the Moon will be conjunct a major new discovery, Eris (the planet that got Pluto 'demoted').
Then as the Moon is waning, the Sun ingresses Scorpio on Oct. 23. About 10 days later on Nov. 3, we experience the corresponding New Moon event — a part-annular, part-total eclipse that is one heck of an impressive chart.
Eclipse of the Sun in Scorpio on Nov. 3 is a combined total and annular eclipse, notably, conjunct Saturn. It also happens during Mercury retrograde in Scorpio. You can see the eclipse group of planets to the left side of the chart. They include Mercury, the North Node, the Sun, the Moon and Saturn. Juno, square the eclipse group, makes more than a cameo (potentially stealing the show), bringing in eternal themes of relationship and social justice.
The eclipse (a conjunction of the Moon and Sun) will be conjunct Mercury, the North Node and Saturn. That's a lot of planets concentrated together, during what's already one of the most profound times of year even when nothing special is going on.
It will be essential, in the midst of all of this, to keep your focus, to maintain emotional grounding, and to stay in balance — all of which will be easier said than done. When the astrology is acting up, a good astrologer can be helpful. Through this whole season, I plan to be working on my 2014 annual readings for all 12 signs and rising signs.
For the past few weeks I've been studying and casting charts for the next 12 months, and they are pretty special, even by contemporary standards. What's interesting about the autumn of 2013 is that it closely resembles what will be happening all through 2014 — the peak year of the Uranus-Pluto square.
My annual will be called The Mars Effect. Having read this article, when I say that Mars will be passing through the Jupiter-Uranus-Pluto-Typhon configuration not once but three times, that will be meaningful — we are about to go on one heck of a ride. We are, as of this moment, embarking on what may be the most profound phase of the extended 2012 era; I would estimate this stretches from October of 2013 through August of 2014.
Confronted with this information, some astrologers will say hold on and some will say let go. I will say: stoke your vision, pay attention and look where you want to be.
