Q: Any real use of pointers in C#? What is a situation while coding in C# where using pointers is a good or necessary option? I'm talking about unsafe pointers.

A: You have to remember that the designers at Microsoft are smart people and everything they add to C# has at least 1 use case. The FParsec project uses unsafe code to bring out every last drop of performance that C# is capable of. Take notice of the usage of fixed and stackalloc.
private char* ReadCharsFromStream(char* buffer, int maxCount, out string overhangChars) {
    Debug.Assert(maxCount >= 0);
    fixed (byte* byteBuffer = ByteBuffer) {
        overhangChars = null;
        try {
            while (maxCount >= MaxCharCountForOneByte) {// if maxCount < MaxCharCountForOneByte, Convert could throw
                int nBytesInByteBuffer = FillByteBuffer();
                bool flush = nBytesInByteBuffer == 0;
                int bytesUsed, charsUsed; bool completed = false;
                Decoder.Convert(byteBuffer + ByteBufferIndex, nBytesInByteBuffer,
                                buffer, maxCount, flush,
                                out bytesUsed, out charsUsed, out completed);
                ByteBufferIndex += bytesUsed; // GetChars consumed bytesUsed bytes from the byte buffer
                buffer += charsUsed;
                maxCount -= charsUsed;
                if (flush && completed) return buffer;
            }
            if (maxCount == 0) return buffer;

            char* cs = stackalloc char[MaxCharCountForOneByte];
            for (;;) {
                int nBytesInByteBuffer = FillByteBuffer();
                bool flush = nBytesInByteBuffer == 0;
                int bytesUsed, charsUsed; bool completed;
                Decoder.Convert(byteBuffer + ByteBufferIndex, nBytesInByteBuffer,
                                cs, MaxCharCountForOneByte, flush,
                                out bytesUsed, out charsUsed, out completed);
                ByteBufferIndex += bytesUsed;
                if (charsUsed > 0) {
                    int i = 0;
                    do {
                        *(buffer++) = cs[i++];
                        if (--maxCount == 0) {
                            if (i < charsUsed) overhangChars = new string(cs, i, charsUsed - i);
                            return buffer;
                        }
                    } while (i < charsUsed);
                }
                if (flush && completed) return buffer;
            }
        } catch (DecoderFallbackException e) {
            e.Data.Add("Stream.Position", ByteIndex + e.Index);
            throw;
        }
    }
}

A: I once had to use pointers (in the unsafe context) in a C# based windows application that would act as an interface to a headset. This application is a user interface that would allow agents (at a call center) to control their headphone settings. This application acts as an alternate to the control panel given by the headset manufacturer. Thus, their ability to control the headsets were limited when compared to the options available. I had to use pointers because I had to use the API (a Visual C++ dll) provided by the headset manufacturer using P/Invoke.

A: From the developer of C# himself:
The use of pointers is rarely required in C#, but there are some situations that require them. As examples, using an unsafe context to allow pointers is warranted by the following cases:

*

*Dealing with existing structures on disk

*Advanced COM or Platform Invoke scenarios that involve structures with pointers in them

*Performance-critical code

The use of unsafe context in other situations is discouraged.
Specifically, an unsafe context should not be used to attempt to write C code in C#.
Caution:
"Code written using an unsafe context cannot be verified to be safe, so it will be executed only when the code is fully trusted. In other words, unsafe code cannot be executed in an untrusted environment. For example, you cannot run unsafe code directly from the Internet."
You may go through this for reference

A: yes, there are real uses, when performance is critical and the operations are low-level
for example, i've only needed to use pointers in C# once, for image comparison. Using GetPixel on a pair of 1024x1024x32 images took 2 minutes to do the comparison (Exact match). Pinning the image memory and using pointers took less than 1 second (on the same machine of course).

When you think of a "modern" office, what comes to mind? Chances are, you aren't imagining grey-walled cubicles or a big oak desk in the corner office. To most people, the workplace of the future has a sleek, minimalistic design and is brimming with technology. But most importantly, it has an open working space with the walls dividing team members torn down. In other words: an open office.
It's clear that the landscape of the traditional office has changed drastically. According to the International Management Facility Association, over 70 percent of U.S. companies have established an open office layout. Both the largest tech companies in the world and the smallest startups alike have pioneered this shift. And you don't have to look very hard to find experts lauding their effectiveness in encouraging collaboration and creativity.
However, amid this near-universal praise, open offices present a unique set of challenges. Internal research by Steelcase shows the number of people who say they can't concentrate at their desk had increased by 16 percent since 2008 when open offices began to gain prominence. In a fluid environment, employees are surrounded by the endless phone calls and background chatter of their coworkers making it increasingly hard to focus. The bottom line is that although wide open offices allow groups to bounce ideas off of each other any time of the day, that same benefit is also a distraction to other employees who need quiet time to work.
Despite this downside, I doubt that anyone is in a rush set those old walls back up. The truth is that open offices are unquestionably a bonus for promoting collaboration. But no matter how far we have come, there are always further steps we can make to boost productivity while balancing the needs of the team.
One way to fight the distractions of an open space, while still allowing for collaboration, is to establish zones of silence within an office. When college students need to study before an exam, they don't hit the books where the party is going on. Instead, they go to the library and find a quiet nook where they can focus. Our workplaces can offer a similar option by having library-like areas that minimize distractions. There is no shortage of innovative furniture options—like pods, phone booths and sheltered alcoves—that not only serve this purpose, but also keep your office look magnificently modern, while maximizing efficiency.
We all need to block out distractions at times, so team members of all stripes benefit tremendously from access to these private "no-fly" zones. Having discreet and designated areas allow them to can step out of the bustle of the office when necessary, so when crunch-time has passed, they can return to a more stimulating shared space to benefit from team collaboration and creativity.
Engage: How can your office's physical space accommodate different styles of work?
My first job out of college more than 40 years ago was in an open-office setting. It was called a newsroom.

It's not often news breaks about a potential film or television show and I get really excited. I like some ideas, some not so much, but the stars never align enough for me to get goosebumps... Until now!
Jessica Chastain, she of The Martian and the incredible Zero Dark Thirty fame, is to take on the role of Molly Bloom and, if you'd have given me a million choices of star, I'd have plumped for Chastain every single time. This is an actress that caught me by surprise a few years ago when I sat and watched The Help and I've been watching her ever since. She has the intelligence required to work a Sorkin script, that is bound to be heavy dialogue, and there is something about Chastain that just makes, no, demands that I find the time to sit and watch a performance. It's not all about Molly though, the film will have high stakes poker players, political pawns and, of course, the federal government trying to bring Bloom to justice and to help the story along it now appears Idris Elba will star alongside Chastain.
See that huge mountain range over there? That be them goosebumps I mentioned.


Are your makeup brushes contributing to acne breakouts?
Portland-based Alima Pure cosmetic brushes (available at Blooming Moon) are made with Taklon, a synthetic fiber more hygienic than animal hair brushes.
Natural hair has an irregular surface trapping dead skin cells, cosmetics and bacteria– ironically, harsher disinfectants are required to prevent skin irritation. Taklon fiber lacks this surface irregularity, making Alima's brushes easier to clean– keeping your skin cleaner as well.
BONUS: Because Taklon is synthetic, animal cruelty is not an issue!
Blooming Moon Spa, located in North Portland's Overlook Village, carries Alima Pure's mineral makeup and Taklon foundation, eye and blush brushes. We are open Tuesday through Sunday 10am to 8pm at 1920 N. Killingsworth St. Call ahead to schedule a free makeup consultation with one of our expert "green" makeup artists for a personalized foundation and brush match.
Visit the Alima Pure blog for more information on reducing acne with mineral makeup and hypoallergenic brushes.

By having the goal in mind, we can have more focused comments and critique. I love this diagram from Alex Hill, where she outlines the various places a comment could fall during a code review.
For those items in the Low reward/High conflict area, we should have automation set up in our projects to report on those things. I always feel a bit icky pointing out to someone that there's an extra newline or a missing space after an if statement. With static code analysis tools that's no longer my job; I can focus on more High reward items.
My primary application is written in Kotlin, so we use the Detekt library to perform analysis of our code. Not only do we get results from the command line, there is also an IDE plugin available to provide feedback real-time.
Once you as the author feel your code is ready to go, the next step is to open a Pull Request. By default, GitHub will slap the first line of your commit message as the title for the PR and that's it. But there's so much more you can do with your PRs to ensure a successful code review.
I like this approach because the reviewer at a quick glance can get a sense of what the PR is about and any potential time investment they may need to review it.
The next piece of the puzzle is to have a template that automatically populates the description field when a PR is opened. I really like it because it sets clear expectations for the person who opens the PR. It also motivates the reviewer to focus on the primary goals of the review instead of housekeeping tasks.
You can customize it to suit the needs of your team. Our application is available in several languages, so we have to push any new strings to our translation service for translation. In the past when we've missed this step it has caused issues during the release process. Having it as an item in the checklist serves as a constant reminder to the author and saves the reviewer from having to go and check that it was done.
For this next bit, you will need to have a Continuous Integration environment in place. At my current company we use Jenkins, but any modern CI will do the job. We're going to configure it so that we can take advantage of the results of the Detekt static analysis results directly inside of a Pull Request. We will use the Violation Comments to GitHub plugin. It searches through your /build directory for report files from static code analysis tools and comments PRs in GitHub with them.
Here's how you can configure it inside of your application's build.gradle file.
Now, right inside of GitHub the author has the opportunity to address any reported Low reward/High conflict issues without reviewer intervention.
Then if I find myself leaving too many comments. I arrange to have a quick meeting first to talk it over. Then I come back and add follow-up comments. This helps the author understand that they're not being attacked. It also provides me with additional context that sometimes eliminates the need for as many comments on the PR.
Despite my best efforts sometimes my comments can be perceived as a little harsh. Maybe that is the case for you as well. For those times, I make liberal use of the following emojis which seems to help smooth things over: 🤗🙃🙈. Give it a try!
After the reviewer has taken the time to provide you with actionable comments. It's best practice to acknowledge each comment. Even if it's a simple thumbs up 👍🏽. This lets the reviewer know that you've seen the comment and you have taken note or will address it.
Also, it's hard to have someone critique your work, but try not to take it personally. The focus of the review is the code and the sharing of knowledge, not you. If a particular comment or question rubs you the wrong way, first assume best intent and then pose a follow-up question to really draw out what the reviewer meant.
We want to have multiple pairs of eyes on our code to help find issues. Code reviews give us this power. Yet with great power, comes great responsibility. So use these tools and techniques to make your next code review a frustration-free one!


From its striking historic homes with echoes of a bygone era to its long stretches of curing beaches hugging the Gulf Coast, Galveston has long been the seaside refuge for its more urban neighbors. Once the busiest port in the south, today the island is known for its laid-back charm, Texas hospitality, and one-of-a-kind restaurants, shops, and entertainment.
All of those should feature prominently when the city makes its debut on the A&E Network's popular series Vacation Rental Potential. The show follows homebuyers looking for their perfect weekend or seasonal getaway, with help from home renovation expert Holly Baker.
The real estate investor, flipper, and designer has carved a particular niche in short-term vacation rentals, and Vacation Rental Potential tells the story each week of a different family looking for a spot that not only meets their needs but also will enhance their lifestyle.
The Galveston episode introduces viewers to the Pooles, a tight-knit Houston family that loves coming together as a multi-generational group. The show finds Martha, the Poole matriarch, looking for a getaway home that will allow enough space for her brood of five children and 13 grandchildren to enjoy together. Baker helps them in the hunt, also showing them how to pool their resources and maximize rental potential to pay for a Galveston home that fits their needs.
Viewers will likely enjoy the tips offered in the show, but will delight in seeing familiar places take the national spotlight. The home the Pooles find, a four-bedroom, four-bath number on Pirate's Beach, is a multi-level beachfront oasis, with sweeping views of sea and sand.
A sprawling rooftop deck is the perfect entertaining spot, with a gorgeous beach background. Light floods the home, which makes maximum use of its location, listed as "45 steps" from the beach. Cozy corner seating areas against massive windows offer a panorama of grass, sand and palm trees.
There are loft spaces, bedrooms with private decks, even a game room with a billiard table. Completely modern, with nods to Galveston's seafaring history, the home is a beautiful escape.
Best of all for viewers who happen to fall in love with the island retreat? It's available for rent.
The Galveston episode of Vacation Rental Potential airs on the FYI Network on Thursday, March 21 at 9 pm and again the A&E Network on Saturday, March 23 at 9 am.

Tiger Airways Holdings Limited () was a Singapore-based holding company for a group of low-cost carriers operating in the Asia-Pacific region. It was formed in 2007 to allow for easier management of the airline subsidiaries, as well as any future expansion, without having to focus on operational issues, leaving those to the airlines themselves. In 2016, Singapore Airlines purchased the company and it was delisted from the Singapore Exchange.

Group companies

Tigerair (Tiger Airways Singapore)

Tigerair was incorporated on 12 December 2003 and began ticket sales on 31 August 2004. Services commenced on 15 September 2004 to Bangkok. It operates scheduled international services from Singapore Changi Airport and is a wholly owned subsidiary of Tiger Airways Holdings.

In 2006, the airline flew 1.2 million passengers, a growth of 75% from the previous year. The airline was the first to operate from the Budget Terminal in Changi Airport in order to achieve operating-cost savings and its cost structure is modeled after Ryanair. Despite regional competition, the airline has reiterated its current intention to remain focused on flying within a five-hour radius from its Singaporean base.

Following Singapore Airlines, acquiring Tiger Airways Holdings, the Tigerair brand was retired with operations merged into Scoot, its sister budget airline.

Shareholders
Tigerair was listed on the Singapore Exchange in February 2010. As at 18 June 2014, Singapore Airlines, holding 40% of the issued shares, is the only substantial shareholder (i.e. holding at least 5% of the issued shares) of Tiger Airways Holdings.

Financial performance
The following table shows the financial performance of Tiger Airways Holdings.

Operating performance

Regional Partners
Due to the reorganization of Tiger Air into Budget Aviation Holdings, the following partners have either taken full ownership of the Tiger Air branding or cancelled operations.

Regional affiliate partnership ventures

Tigerair Australia

Tiger Airways Australia was formed as the Australian affiliate of Tiger Airways. In February 2007, Tiger announced that it hoped to become Australia's third full-scale domestic airline, competing directly with Virgin Blue and Qantas/Jetstar. Tigerair Australia planned to use its Australian domestic network to support an expanded international presence through the gateway of Perth, expanded to include Melbourne. On 16 March 2007 the airline received approval from the Foreign Investment Review Board to establish the new subsidiary/

Tiger Airways Australia began operations on 23 November 2007. In July 2008 Tiger announced that it would suspend its flights from Darwin on 25 October, citing Darwin International Airport operating and fuel costs, making it the most expensive airport on the Tigerair Australia network but did not rule out returning in the future if costs were to decrease. Tigerair Australia resumed services to Darwin on Friday 18 June 2010. On 5 August 2008 the airline announced Adelaide as its second operational base and began services on 10 January 2010.

Tiger resumed flights on 2 August 2011, after it was grounded for safety issues, on a restricted schedule maintaining its hub in Melbourne. Tiger Airways Australia re-opened its second base at Sydney with three aircraft in July 2012.

In October 2012, Virgin Australia Holdings (parent company of competitor Virgin Australia) announced its intention to purchase 60% of Tiger Airways Australia. The deal was completed in July 2013, after the airline had changed its name to Tigerair Australia.

In October 2014, Virgin Australia Holdings announced plans to acquire the remaining 40% stake in Tigerair Australia for $1. Virgin retained the Tigerair name and acquired the brand rights for Tigerair to operate to some international destinations from Australia. It ceased in March 2020.

Tigerair Taiwan

Tigerair Taiwan is a Taiwanese affiliate and was set up as a joint venture between China Airlines and Tiger Airways Holdings. China Airlines holds a 90% stake in the new carrier, while Tiger Airways Holdings holds the remaining 10%. The carrier is based at Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport and currently has 6 aircraft. It was the first Taiwan-based LCC to start operations and the only LCC in the country that are still flying (The other being V Air of Transasia Airways, which folded in 2016). In 2017, as Tigerair Singapore merged into Scoot, CAPA reports that China Airlines will buy another 10% from Budget Aviation Holdings, leaving China Airlines Group (China Airlines and Mandarin Airlines) the owner of the airline, despite allowed to retain the brand.

Tigerair Philippines

Tigerair Philippines was the Philippines affiliate of Tigerair. The joint venture was announced in November 2010 between Tiger Airways Holdings and SEAir, which saw Tigerair leasing its two Airbus A319 aircraft to SEAir to open up new international routes out of SEAir's base at Clark International Airport. The DG-coded flights were operated by SEAir's pilots and cabin crew using the leased aircraft which were repainted into SEAir's livery. Seats on these flights were marketed by Tiger in addition to SEAir's own website.

In February 2011, Tiger Airways Holdings increased its share in the venture to 40%, however in March 2014, Tigerair disposed of its 40% stake in the airline to Cebu Pacific, though flights were still temporarily branded as Tigerair Philippines.

Tigerair Mandala

Tigerair Mandala was the Indonesian affiliate of Tigerair. The airline was a joint venture between Tiger Airways Holdings and Saratoga Investama Sedaya.

Tigerair ventured into the Indonesian market by buying the troubled Mandala Airlines, with the Saratoga Group holding a majority 51.3% and the remaining 15.7% by previous shareholders and creditors of Mandala. Tigerair Mandala sported a hybrid livery with the name 'mandala' on the fuselage accompanied by Tigerair's stripes on the tail and wingtips.

Tigerair Mandala started operations on 5 April 2012, with one domestic route between its home base Jakarta and Medan, the capital of North Sumatra. This was followed by its first international destination when it launched the Medan-Singapore route on 20 April 2012, adding a second Indonesian destination to Tigerair Singapore network after Jakarta. In May 2012, Tigerair Mandala flew to Malaysia's capital Kuala Lumpur from Jakarta.
Before it ceased its operation Tigerair had 35.8% Shares.

Tigerair Mandala ceased all operations on 1 July 2014 as it was not able to sustain its operations and the airline's key shareholders decided to cease funding the carrier.

Abandoned regional affiliate projects

Incheon Tiger
On 5 November 2007, Tiger Airways announced that it would be starting a Korean-based budget airline. Incheon Tiger was to have been a joint venture between Tiger Aviation Holdings and Incheon Metropolitan City, flying to destinations in Japan, China, Mongolia and the Russian Far East. The airline was to be based in South Korea's Incheon Airport and planned to begin services by 2009; however, the project was abandoned in December 2008.

Thai Tiger
Tiger Airways and Thai Airways proposed forming an airline based in Thailand, where Thai Airways and Tiger Airways would own 51% and 39% respectively of the newly formed airline, while RyanThai would hold the remaining 10%. Operations were expected to begin in the 1st quarter of 2011. Tiger Airways subsequently dropped its plan to form a Bangkok-based low-cost joint venture with Thai Airways after failing to get the necessary investment approvals from the Thai government. As a result, in December 2011 Thai Airways International, Tiger Airways and RyanThai decided not to proceed with the incorporation of Thai Tiger.

Jacob van Ruisdael
Listen (Subscriber Feature)
In a private collection
(1628/29–82). Jacob van Ruisdael is considered one of the greatest Dutch landscape painters of his time. His observations of sky and nature, waterfalls and seascapes are among the grandest and dramatic landscape works.
Jacob (Isaakszoon) van Ruisdael was born in either 1628 or 1629 in Haarlem, Netherlands. His father, Isaak de Goyer (he later called himself Ruisdael), a frame maker and painter, probably taught Ruisdael. The influence of Cornelis Vroom, another Haarlem landscapist, is often noticeable in Ruisdael's early works of the 1640s. In 1648 Ruisdael entered Haarlem's painters' guild, the Guild of St. Luke. In about 1655 he settled in Amsterdam, was baptized there the next year, and there was granted citizenship in 1659.
Ruisdael's paintings of the spacious Dutch plains and the rugged northern German regions were characterized by heroic and stunning compositions. His early work, such as the Dunes (c. 1647), reflects his obsession with trees. His later works became more spacious and his palette became brighter. During this time Ruisdael used sky to depict grandeur and power, as in his Windmill at Wijk bij Duurstede (c. 1665) and Wheatfields (c. 1670). Sometimes the small figures in his pictures were added by other artists, such as Adriaen van de Velde, Johannes Lingelbach, Philips Wouwerman, and Claes Berchem. Ruisdael was considered the most versatile of Dutch landscapists. He also worked as an etcher early in his career.
Aside from painting, Ruisdael also taught painting. His pupils included the painter Meindert Hobbema, who is said to have painted the same views as Ruisdael. Ruisdael was buried in Amsterdam on March 14, 1682.

Élisée Legros (né le  à Jalhay et mort le  à Jalhay) est un linguiste belge, professeur associé à l'université de Liège et ethnologue wallon. Il est notamment l'auteur du tome 3 et du tome 9 de l'Atlas linguistique de la Wallonie.

Biographie
Élisée Legros est né à Jalhay mais, la famille émigre rapidement vers Liège. Après des études de philologie classique, achevées en 1932, il est appelé en qualité de professeur de latin dans divers athénées : Tirlemont (1934), Jodoigne (1934-1936), Huy (1937) et à Chênée (1944-1957).

Très tôt, cependant, sa rencontre avec Edgard Renard, toponymiste wallon, et quelques cours de philologie romane, suivis à l'université, l'attirent vers l'étude de la langue wallonne et des traditions populaires. Étudiant de Jean Haust, il développe une passion pour la dialectologie wallonne qui le pousse vers l'exploration et l'explication des dialectes de la Belgique romane. Véritable disciple de Jean Haust, il reprend, avec Louis Remacle et Maurice Piron, l'héritage symbolique et intellectuel que celui-ci leur laisse à sa mort, en 1946. Naturellement, Élisée Legros s'oriente vers l'étude du lexique et de l'étymologie des langues de la Belgique romane, ainsi qu'à l'étude ethnologique et folklorique de ces territoires.

Dès 1938, Élisée Legros intègre les équipes du musée de la vie wallonne.
Son implication dans le musée lui vaut un premier détachement pédagogique pour s'employer à temps plein aux enquêtes du musée, entre 1947 et 1949.
Ses études ethnologiques s'intéressent à des domaines divers et variés, qu'il observe sur le terrain : le joug et la charrue en Ardenne liégeoise, les noms de la ruche en Gaule romane, la culture de la vigne en vallée mosane et le métier de tonnelier.
En qualité de directeur-adjoint, il assure l'essentiel du travail scientifique du Musée entre 1948 et sa mort en 1970 : gestion du service des enquêtes et des publications, confection du premier Guide du visiteur (1958).

Parallèlement, son travail de linguiste est salué par ses pairs. On lui doit une étude sur la frontière des dialectes romans en Belgique (1948), la confection du tome « Français-liégeois » du Dictionnaire liégeois de Jean Haust (1948). Il assume par ailleurs la constitution des recueils bibliographies La philologie wallonne en... dans lesquels toutes les études concernant les dialectes de la Belgique romane sont épinglés. La plupart de ses études s'ancrent pleinement dans un travail de terrain, qu'il continuera de mener toute sa vie au Musée de la vie wallonne.

En 1950, il se voit confier le cours facultatif de folklore wallon, à l'université de Liège. En 1957, alors qu'il reçoit le grand prix de philologie de la Société de langue et de littérature wallonnes, il devient officiellement attaché à l'université, en qualité de chef de travaux à l'Institut de dialectologie wallonne, alors qu'il œuvre déjà depuis plusieurs années pour l'Atlas linguistique de la Wallonie, dont il a déjà publié le troisième tome, en 1955. Dès lors, il assure avec Louis Remacle les cours de dialectologie wallonne.
Nommé chargé de cours associé en 1963 puis professeur associé en 1968, il reçoit le prix Albert-Dauzat en 1969, pour couronner l'ensemble de ses travaux de recherches. Il s'éteint à l'aube de la retraite en 1970, à peine âgé de 60 ans.

Un an après son décès, le musée de la vie wallonne lui rend hommage en publiant des Mélanges à son nom, collectant diverses contributions scientifiques dans les domaines d'étude qu'il affectait tout particulièrement.

À sa mort, la plupart de ses travaux étaient éparpillés dans diverses revues de philologie, d'histoire locale, de linguistique. Aujourd'hui, on n'a pas encore bien conscience de l'influence qu'Élisée Legros a pu avoir sur la dialectologie wallonne, et la dialectologie en général.
Certains travaux sont même restés inachevés. Parmi ceux-ci, on retiendra le tome 9 de l'Atlas linguistique de la Wallonie, mis en en lumière et édité par Marie-Thérèse Counet en 1989.

La plupart de sa bibliothèque et de sa documentation personnelle a été léguée par testament au Musée de la vie wallonne, qui conserve toujours ces documents précieux au sein du Fonds Élisée Legros.

The Central Biblical Commission of the Pauline Family met in Italy this year to plan a world-wide Pauline initiative "l'Anno Biblico" or "The Year of the Bible," which will begin on Blessed Alberione's Feast Day, November 26, 2020 and continue for one year until the next Founder's Day in 2021.
The Year of the Bible is designed to be a spur for all Paulines to delve more deeply into the Bible and to press us to carry the Word to the world with ever greater determination and efficacy.
A team of Paulines in North America got together in September to discuss the Year of the Bible in a virtual meeting with Sr. Miriam Manca, PDDM, who serves as PDDM Superior General in Rome, Italy and who is the Pauline Central Biblical Commission member responsible for disseminating information to North America. The virtual conversation was enlightening. In it the North American team learned about several key events coming up in Italy to inaugurate the Biblical Year, and the team was also encouraged to apply creativity and zeal for the Gospel in bringing to life similar events here on our English-speaking continent.
In Rome, the Year of the Bible is to begin with a candlelight service at the beginning of Lauds on the 26th. There will be a sung refrain and the prologue to the Gospel of John will be read (e.g., "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God…").
A preparatory liturgical event will take place on November 21st at 6:00 p.m. Italian time (12:00 noon U.S. eastern time) and will involve a livestreaming event incorporating various languages. Visit https://www.sobicain.org/ for more information about viewing this liturgy.
The opening ceremony of l'Anno Biblico will take place in Rome at the Church of Jesus Master, the last edifice Bl. Alberione built and the burial site of PDDM founding superior Ven. Mother Mary Scholastica Rivata. The last "Anno Biblico" was launched by Bl. Alberione himself in the 1960's.
Symbolism of the Pauline Biblical Year Logo
The Pauline Biblical Year logo is inspired by two biblical images: the sower (Lk. 8:4-15) and the runner (1 Co. 9:24).
Both biblical references indicate an action to be carried out with a sense of responsibility and urgency. The sower must sow in such a way as to expect an abundant harvest in due time. The runner, after sufficient preparation, must win the race. The combination of these two references brings us to the theme of the Pauline Family's Year of the Bible: "That the Word of the Lord may speed forward" (2 Thessalonians. 3:1).
So as to avoid bewildering the observer, the logo employs simple shapes and colors. The sower, depicted as leaning forward, tosses into the air 10 seeds symbolizing the 10 branches of the Pauline Family. The different sizes of the seeds and the different directions in which they move indicate the different services of the various branches of the PF and the different spheres of society in which they have been called to root themselves. Red, on the other hand, is the universal color of zeal and passion. The color of blood, it motivates us to fix our gaze on an urgent goal: that the Word of the Lord might be disseminated far and wide.

Amazon Plans to Launch its Own Constellation of Internet Satellites

Amazon is now among the few companies planning to use Internet satellites to provide the world with a stronger and more stable broadband network. According to reports, Amazon expressed its desire to launch a constellation of over 3,000 satellites into low-Earth orbit in the future.
Amazon reportedly asked international spectrum regulators to provide the requirements and spectrum rights for 3,236 Internet satellites. The constellation was allegedly filed under the name of Kuiper Systems with the International Telecommunication Union.
In a statement, Amazon confirmed its connection with the Kuiper Systems:
"Project Kuiper is a new initiative to launch a constellation of Low Earth Orbit satellites that will provide low-latency, high-speed broadband connectivity to unserved and underserved communities around the world.
This is a long-term project that envisions serving tens of millions of people who lack basic access to broadband internet. We look forward to partnering on this initiative with companies that share this common vision."
Kuiper Systems: Amazon's Constellation of Internet Satellites
Little is currently known about Amazon's constellation of Internet satellites. At the moment, the company has not yet filed with the Federal Communications Commission for its market access in the United States. It is also not known who would build the satellite, where it would be built, and when it would be launched.
Initial reports claim that the constellation will be divided into three layers. The first layer would be comprised of 784 satellites that will orbit 590 kilometers above Earth. The second layer would be made up of 1,156 satellites that will orbit at 630 kilometers above Earth. Lastly, the third layer would have 1,296 satellites circling our planet at an altitude of 610 kilometers.
Amazon has not issued any official statement yet about the Kuiper Systems. When asked if the satellites would be launched through Blue Origin, an Amazon spokesperson said that they "will look at all options."

30 Portrait Photos of Sid Caesar From Between the 1940s and '60s
April 02, 2022 1940s, 1950s, 1960s, celebrity & famous people, portraits
American comic actor and writer Sid Caesar (1922–2014) had a career spanning 60 years, he was best known for two pioneering 1950s live television series: Your Show of Shows (1950–1954), which was a 90-minute weekly show watched by 60 million people and its successor, Caesar's Hour (1954–1957), both of which influenced later generations of comedians. Your Show of Shows and its cast received seven Emmy nominations between the years 1953 and 1954 and tallied two wins. He also acted in movies; he played Coach Calhoun in Grease (1978) and its sequel Grease 2 (1982) and appeared in the films It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World (1963), Silent Movie (1976), History of the World, Part I (1981), Cannonball Run II (1984), and Vegas Vacation (1997).
Caesar was considered a "sketch comic" and actor, as opposed to a stand-up comedian. He also relied more on body language, accents, and facial contortions than simply dialogue. Unlike the slapstick comedy which was standard on TV, his style was considered "avant garde" in the 1950s. He conjured up ideas and scene and used writers to flesh out the concept and create the dialogue. Among the writers who wrote for Caesar early in their careers were Mel Brooks, Neil Simon, Larry Gelbart, Carl Reiner, Michael Stewart, Mel Tolkin, Selma Diamond, and Woody Allen. "Sid's was the show to which all comedy writers aspired. It was the place to be," said Steve Allen.
His TV shows' subjects included satires of real life events and people, and parodies of popular film genres, theater, television shows, and opera. But unlike other comedy shows at the time, the dialogue was considered sharper, funnier, and more adult-oriented. He was "best known as one of the most intelligent and provocative innovators of television comedy," who some critics called "television's Charlie Chaplin" and The New York Times refers to as the "comedian of comedians from TV's early days."
Honored in numerous ways over 60 years, he was nominated for 11 Emmy Awards, winning twice. He was also a saxophonist and author of several books, including two autobiographies in which he described his career and later struggle to overcome years of alcoholism and addiction to barbiturates.
Take a look at these vintage photos to see portraits of a young Sid Caesar from between the 1940s and 1960s.


ST. GEORGE — Friday marks the end of the 2014 season of Sunset on the Square, which features free family movies in Town Square in St. George. The season concludes with the annual finale, St. George Chamber Night, featuring booths hosted by local Chamber of Commerce member businesses, games, prizes, face painting, a water balloon challenge, dancing and a 2015 movie selection Facebook contest. At dusk, "The Blind Side," starring Sandra Bullock, will be shown on the outdoor screen.
This is always one of my favorite events of the season. It is a pleasure to share the many successful local businesses that support our community with our audience. We have featured Chamber Night as our season finale for several years, and the whole Chamber team is great to work with. And, I also have to admit, I just love football movies – and Sandra Bullock, so I am excited to see 'The Blind Side' on Friday! Plus, this year we have a movie selection contest where the audience can share what they would like to see next year to win a prize. It will be fun to see what our audience wants for next season.
Attendees are encouraged to come early and enjoy food, vendors and pre-show activities. Vendors will set up by 5 p.m. and will remain onsite the entire evening.
As the Sunset on the Square season closes, The Falls Event Center, a premier sponsor of the event, is hosting a Facebook contest, and locals are encouraged to join in the fun. To participate, entrants must "like" The Falls Event Center Facebook page and post the movies they would like to see at Sunset on the Square in 2015, along with why they think their choice would be a great selection for the audience. One winner will be selected right before the movie starts Friday night, and the winner will receive a $50 gift certificate to Texas Roadhouse. The winner must be present at Friday night's event and be 18 or older to win.

The Indian Ocean Trade in Antiquity
Political, Cultural and Economic Impacts
Matthew Adam Cobb
Published September 30, 2020 by Routledge

The Indian Ocean Trade in Antiquity: Political, Cultural and Economic Impacts
The period from the death of Alexander the Great to the rise of the Islam (c. late fourth century BCE to seventh century CE) saw a significant growth in economic, diplomatic and cultural exchange between various civilisations in Africa, Europe and Asia. This was in large part thanks to the Indian Ocean trade. Peoples living in the Roman Empire, Parthia, India and South East Asia increasingly had access to exotic foreign products, while the lands from which they derived, and the peoples inhabiting these lands, also captured the imagination, finding expression in a number of literary and poetic works.
The Indian Ocean Trade in Antiquity provides a range of chapters that explore the economic, political and cultural impact of this trade on these diverse societies, written by international experts working in the fields of Classics, Archaeology, South Asian studies, Near Eastern studies and Art History. The three major themes of the book are the development of this trade, how consumption and exchange impacted on societal developments, and how the Indian Ocean trade influenced the literary creations of Graeco-Roman and Indian authors.
This volume will be of interest not only to academics and students of antiquity, but also to scholars working on later periods of Indian Ocean history who will find this work a valuable resource.

Matthew Adam Cobb is a lecturer in ancient history at the University of Wales Trinity Saint David, UK, and his main area of research focuses on Graeco-Roman participation in the Indian Ocean trade, as well as cross-cultural engagement between the West and East in antiquity.
"The Indian Ocean Trade in Antiquity is an interesting and important addition to the ever-increasing number of studies on the topic. The authors have all increased our understanding of how interconnected the world became thanks to this trade." - Joshua R. Hall, Cardiff University, writing for Ancient World Magazine
"This is an ambitious, wide-ranging collection. The breadth and depth of material is considerable... an important contribution to the interdisciplinary study of economic and cultural exchange across the Indian Ocean." - Bryn Mawr Classical Review
"This extremely interesting book engages with a great number of different historical issues, as well as applying different approaches to a complex economic phenomenon that brought about several non-economic implications." - The Classical Journal

In the early 20th century, the concepts of "historical anarchism" provided by W. Godwin, P.-J. Proudhon, M. Bakunin, and P. Kropotkin were replaced by a variety of post-classical utopian anarchist projects. Among all the heterogeneous and diverse forms of anarchist doctrine, the most unusual was the movement of anarchists and biocosmists (involving A. Svyatogor, A. Yaroslavsky, P. Ivanitsky, I. Yakovlev, G. Butorin, etc). On the one hand, they postulated the idea of liberation from statehood both on the Earth and on other planets, the total conquest of cosmos, and the establishment of interplanetary communications ("interplanetarism"). On the other, they preached overcoming the localism of human life and the expansion of the "principle of personality" before the recognition and implementation of individual immortality ("immortalism"). Denying Fedorov's philosophy of cosmism (called the "doctrine of fathers" by Svyatogor), which was mainly based on the idea of "resurrection", biocosmists proposed to solve the problem of biological immortality by means of bodily metamorphoses and deviations, first of all "bestialism" and anabiosis. This representation of bodily deviations was directed, from the point of view of biocosmism, at preserving life and acquiring biological, rather than symbolic, immortality, giving the person the maximum freedom and the maximum individual rights. This was reflected not only in manifestos, but also in poetry and in science fiction, partially published in 1918 in the Anarkhiya newspaper, and then in 1921 and 1922 in Biocosmism, the Moscow journal Biokosmist, the Petrograd journal Bessmertiye (1922), and some other publications. Thus, the article focuses on the representation of bodily deviations ("bestialism", "anabiosis", and other forms of the new body norm) as a "modus of immortality" and "biological infinity", echoing the motif of abandoning the fixed localisation of man in space and time and the idea of establishing a new epoch of nomadism in the "biocosmic community" in the artistic and philosophical practices of anarchists and biocosmists.

With the imminent arrival of many new Best Drama Series nominees, two former winners destined to face off in the Comedy Series race, and more outstanding Limited Series than the average viewer has time to watch, the 2019 Emmys are shaping up to be one wild ride. The opportunity is there, within the nominations and future winners, for new and old series alike to make their mark on history, and the competition for every single category at the 71st Primetime Emmys is going to be fierce.
Last year saw "Game of Thrones" and "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel" take home the top prizes, while the TV Academy spread the love as a slew of other notable programs snagged trophies, too. This year, would-be competitors seem to be getting out of the way of HBO's juggernaut. Previous Emmy winners like "The Handmaid's Tale," "Stranger Things," and "Big Little Lies" (which will now qualify as a drama series) are all airing outside the eligibility window. That leaves room for new contenders to stake their claim to Emmy glory.
On the comedy front, "Veep" is returning to the race after a year off, but Julia Louis-Dreyfus' outgoing HBO series will have to unseat "Maisel" (and plenty more contenders) if it hopes to return to higher office. HBO could potentially sweep the top categories, thanks to the aforementioned drama and comedy contenders, plus its two big limited series offerings: "Sharp Objects" and "True Detective." But there are even more miniseries than usual competing this year, including offerings from FX ("Fosse/Verdon"), Showtime ("Escape at Dannemora"), Hulu ("Catch-22"), and Netflix ("When They See Us"), so there will be a lot of wide open races in the category.


A retired US Navy commander has come to the rescue of a Scottish museum which is the birthplace of John Paul Jones, a man many consider to be the Father of the American Navy. The museum was threatened with closure after the local council axed its funding, but 64 year old Jim Poole, from San Diego, California, is pledging $15,000 a year during his lifetime to help the museum stay open.
For Mr Poole, John Paul Jones is a childhood hero. He explained "I just became fascinated in his life story and what he achieved." John Paul Jones was born in 1747 in the cottage that is now the museum, on the shore of the Solway Firth at Arbigland near Dumfries. He sailed to America in his early teens, becoming the first well known American naval commander during the American Revolutionary War. Among the many notable stories about Paul's naval career is his participation in a battle in the North Sea, near Flamborough Head, which led to his famous words "Surrender? ... I have not yet begun to fight."
Mr Poole has two particularly special connections to the museum - two years ago he proposed at the museum, before marrying his bride, Monique, at the cottage last year. Mr Poole even recently spent the night alone at the museum, saying "I just wanted to experience what growing up might have been like then ... it was like going back in time ... you could just feel the history of the place and realise what this man accomplished from such humble beginnings in going on to become one of the greatest heroes in the history of the United States ... and this is where it all started ... I just can't wait to get back to the States and tell everyone how vitally important it is to keep this museum going ... it is sacred land of American and Scottish history and to let it disappear would be a crime – it has to be kept for future generations."
The museum trustees praised the action of the former commander and admitted that, otherwise, the future had not been looking too bright. We at The American magazine would like to express our thanks to Mr Poole for supporting an important museum dedicated to Scottish-American history.
You can also help the museum by visiting its website, at http://www.jpj.demon.co.uk, to find out more about John Paul Jones, visiting the museum, and supporting with further fundraising.


Women's Merino Union 150 Knickers - Merino-blend, pointelle base layer.
Made from a blend of soft merino and technical polyester, our Merino Union 150 Knickers combine the quick-drying nature of a synthetic, and merino wool's natural anti-bacterial properties.
Merino wool has an uncanny ability to regulate your temperature in a wide range of conditions. It's nice and cosy in the cold but never too hot when the temperature, or your activity level, start to rise. It 'wicks' moisture extremely efficiently and, because wool is the only fibre in the world that can absorb vapour, it delays the onset of sweating - keeping you far more comfortable and eliminating that unpleasant chilling feeling you sometimes get when you take a break or slow down.
Our Merino Union 150 Knickers are incredibly soft and comfortable next to the skin - there's none of the unpleasant itching you get with ordinary wool or poor quality merino.
The fabric blend also has another remarkable benefit which makes it particularly suitable for wearing next to the skin. Wool has an amazing resistance to the build-up of odour. You can wear it for days without feeling the need to freshen it up. On a long trip, where washing facilities are limited, it's a real boon. And when the time finally does come to freshen it up, you'll find it's simplicity itself to wash. Just throw it in the machine or rinse it through with travel wash. And, because of the quick drying nature of synthetics, just hang them out to dry and they'll be ready to go again the next day.
The pointelle fabric construction isn't just an attractive finish, it's functional too. The little eyelets makes the garment more breathable, and - counterintuitively – this 'holey' construction actually gives the fabric a higher level of durability.
Fabric: 48% Merino Wool 48% Polyester 1% Elastane.
Fabric: 48% merino wool, 3% polyester, 1% elastane.
Luxuriously soft, 100% extrafine merino wool top.

Why are some minors who are sexually assaulted disciplined by the Church?
Apr 1, 2018 | Mormon Policy | 0 comments
Hi Gramps!
I was wondering what your thoughts were regarding church discipline for minors, specifically victims of sexual assault? In some cases, victims of abuse and sexual assault of all ages are barred from taking the sacrament and subjected to a repentance process as if they were equally responsible for the assault and abuse. Why do you think this happens? I can't wrap my head around why a victim, especially a teenager, would be shamed and separated from their church family post rape. Why?
Dear Jessica,
Thank you for writing to me. This is a sensitive issue, and as such it is a topic that some people would rather avoid, but it is very important that we, as church members, discuss these things. First, I would like to clarify that what you have suggested here is not the norm. I am not so naïve as to believe this has never happened but it certainly isn't Church policy.
Sister Chieko Okazaki, a former member of the General Relief Society Presidency gave a wonderful talk about healing from sexual abuse and she touched on the topic of survivors working with their Bishops. She said:
"I think it is very important that you seek out your bishop or another priesthood leader when you feel you can and share this burden. It may be hard to talk to a man if a man was your abuser. Find a trusted woman leader to talk to and accompany you when you are ready to go to your priesthood leader. In material prepared with the support of the Brigham Young University's Women's Research Institute, I quote, "Victims need to be believed. They need to be listened to. They need to be relieved of any inappropriate guilt about their role in the abuse. Many women reported the strength they felt as their bishops and therapists worked together. This arrangement allows bishops to concentrate on the spiritual and physical welfare of their ward members while the trained professional works with the victim to resolve emotional issues." One of the women was so anxious and frightened about going to her bishop that she wouldn't let him shut the door of his office during their first conversation. But when he heard her story, "he cried with me," she said, "and that is when I started trusting him. He is the first man I ever remember trusting. I gave my therapist permission to talk with him to better understand how he could best help me." Healing from Sexual Abuse
I'd like to point out a couple things that Sister Okazaki mentioned. First, it is understandable if a rape survivor is nervous about speaking to a Bishop alone. If it helps to take a trusted woman along, please feel free to do so.
Second, she speaks of being relieved of any "inappropriate guilt about their role in the abuse." Shame is such a common result of abuse and rape and it can be crippling.
Third, she speaks of bishops and therapists working together. This is so important. As you know, Bishops are not trained counselors or therapists.
Finally, in the story Sister Okazaki shared the sister's bishop was very helpful. Unfortunately, not all bishops are as helpful in dealing with these matters, for which they have not been trained (this is why therapists are so important.) About those times, I would share the words of President Uchtdorf:
"And, to be perfectly frank, there have been times when members or leaders in the Church have simply made mistakes. There may have been things said or done that were not in harmony with our values, principles, or doctrine. I suppose the Church would be perfect only if it were run by perfect beings. God is perfect, and His doctrine is pure. But He works through us—His imperfect children—and imperfect people make mistakes." Come, Join with Us
Elder Holland once gave a beautiful talk at BYU about the Law of Chastity. He was NOT talking about abuse or rape here, but what he said is related to our discussion. Consider his words:
"In this matter of counterfeit intimacy and deceptive gratification, I express particular caution to the men who hear this message. I have heard all my life that it is the young woman who has to assume the responsibility for controlling the limits of intimacy in courtship because a young man cannot. What an unacceptable response to such a serious issue! What kind of man is he, what priesthood or power or strength or self-control does this man have that lets him develop in society, grow to the age of mature accountability, perhaps even pursue a university education and prepare to affect the future of colleagues and kingdoms and the course of the world, but yet does not have the mental capacity or the moral will to say, "I will not do that thing"? No, this sorry drugstore psychology would have us say, "He just can't help himself. His glands have complete control over his life—his mind, his will, his entire future."
"To say that a young woman in such a relationship has to bear her responsibility and that of the young man's too is the least fair assertion I can imagine. In most instances if there is sexual transgression, I lay the burden squarely on the shoulders of the young man—for our purposes probably a priesthood bearer—and that's where I believe God intended responsibility to be. In saying that I do not excuse young women who exercise no restraint and have not the character or conviction to demand intimacy only in its rightful role. I have had enough experience in Church callings to know that women as well as men can be predatory. But I refuse to buy some young man's feigned innocence who wants to sin and call it psychology.
"Indeed, most tragically, it is the young woman who is most often the victim, it is the young woman who most often suffers the greater pain, it is the young woman who most often feels used and abused and terribly unclean. And for that imposed uncleanliness a man will pay, as surely as the sun sets and rivers run to the sea." Souls, Symbols, and Sacraments
Elder Holland's words are even more poignant when we consider the topic of rape. Elder Rex D. Pinegar speaking specifically of rape, makes this point as well, he said:
"Yes, the unfortunate and innocent victim is innocent before the Lord. We recognize that such an individual feels guilt, feels she has lost that which she cannot regain. But we hope within that person's mind will reside the complete assurance that the Lord is just, that she is still a child of God, and that God loves her. We also hope that family and friends would have only an increase of love for her." Let God Judge Between me and Thee
Elder Pinegar also gave some counsel to bishops:
"NOTE: I must say a word to fathers, husbands, and priesthood leaders who may have the responsibility of counseling the unfortunate victim of such a crime. Upon you rests the heavy spiritual responsibility to preserve her spiritual and emotional stability. You may be the only one to share the burden with her and the Lord. Extend your understanding, confidence, and sympathy. Preserve in totality the extreme trust placed in you. Prayerfully seek the counsel of the Lord in the help you extend, and reassure her of the Lord's love for her. Remember, she feels almost total loss of self-worth. She may feel like a discarded, misused object, rather than the incredibly priceless child of God she is. She will need the inspired strength of priesthood power to sustain her. A blessing would be most appropriate. Her emotions are likely to be at the breaking point for an extended period of time while you strive to rebuild her confidence. You must not fail her in any commitment you make, or her confidence in men may never be regained. This is very serious, and all such brethren are responsible before God in all their counseling and priesthood responsibilities."
In closing, Jessica, I assure you of the power of Christ. Because of His Atonement, He has the ability to heal all wounds. Wounds that are caused intentionally, and those that occur due to weaknesses and misunderstandings. I'll leave you with the words of Sister Okazaki:
"Our Heavenly Father's spirit is constantly available to us. He sorrows with us and is with us in our pain when abuse occurs. He is there when we start to make the first steps back. His love is steadfast. We may feel betrayed by our family, our Church, our society, and even by God, but God does not betray us. His love is never changing."
Should my mentally handicapped son hold the priesthood in the Mormon Church? What is the general council's word on decaffeinated coffee, decaffeinated Coke and Pepsi? How do I come back to church after being excommunicated? Is there an official Church statement concerning talking about doctrine outside of Church meetings?
