Forum Announcements / New Director of TSM
I am delighted to announce that my dear friend Olga Sautova has been appointed Director of Tsarskoe Selo Museums. Mme Sautova is the widow of the late Ivan Petrovich Sautov, formerly Director at TSM. She is a very able and cultured woman and the future of TSM will be safe in her capable hands.

Forum Announcements / Death of SAUTOV - Ivan Petrovich
It is with great sadness I have to announce the sudden and unexpected death today of Dr Ivan Petrovich Sautov. Dr Sautov was Director of Tsarskoe Selo Museums and as such overseen much of the restoration of the palace complex which has continued throughout the last 30 years.
Dr Sautov, aged 60, died this morning. He is survived by his wife, Olga, their daughter Anastasia (10 years old on 25th of July) and by Ilya and Katia, children from a previous marriage.
Dr Sautov died while on a visit to Finland. It is thought the funeral will take place on Thursday or Friday of next week. Arrangements are not yet in place.
The staff at Tsarskoe Selo Museums are in total shock. He was a truly remarkable man who will be deeply missed by those who knew and loved him.
Rest Eternal grant him O Lord,
May perpetual light shine upon him...
May his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed,
Rest in peace and rise in GLORY
Books about the Romanovs and Imperial Russia / Memoirs of Emily Loch -- NEW BOOK on Alexandra Feodorovna
After two rather fraught days on the Forum, I did some late night shopping in Borders bookshop - best form of relaxation - and getting rid of money - I know.
The book is a private publication and quite extraordinarily the lady who has authored the book lives right beside where I used to live.
The title is -
The Memoirs of
EMILY LOCH
Discretion in Waiting
A synopsis -
'Emily Loch knew Alix, Princess of Hesse-Darmstadt, the last Tsasrina of Russia, from her early years. Emily was associated with the family of Helena, Princess Christian, Queen Victoria's fifth child and was lady-in-waiting to Princess Christian from 1883 until the Princess' death in 1923.
'During these years Emily kept a diary recording daily events, both important and trivial, which together build up a picture of life in and around the courts of England and Germany during the end of the Victorian era.
'Emily Loch's friendship with the future Tsarina grew through visits to the Hesse family in Germany and when they visited their grandmother, Queen Victoria in England and Scotland. During the winter months of 1897 - 1898 Emily accompanied Princess Helena (Thora), Princess Christian's eldest daughter on a visit to Tsar Nicholas and the Tsarina in Russia. Her friendship with the Imperial Family is reflected in the many leters, cards and gifts which they exchanged until early 1917.
'The author, wife of Emily's great, great nephew, has masterfully edited her diaries to give us a unique insight into the close family relationship and life at court during this important period of our history.'
I've had a brief look inside. In the inserted pages of photographs their are illustrations, cards and text written and sent by the Empress which I have never seen before. I cannot wait to begin, but after these two rather dark days, wished, first of all to pass on a little glimpse of what promises to be something rather special.
The Windsors / MONARCHY - The Royal Family at Work
This documentary series will be transmitted on BBC1 before Christmas.
After the unfortunate debacle resulting in the departure of the Controller of BBC1 due to an independent production company's trail which was edited to make it look as if the queen walked off in a huff while having her portrait painted, they have decided the material should be re-edited in-house and the documentaries series which covers all senior members of the royal family, including interviews, will be screened in December.
I have opened a new thread, as I am sure this forthcoming documentary series will engender considerable interest on the Forum.

The Windsors / Diana Enquiry
Since there are already 32 pages devoted to the subject of the late Diana, Princess of Wales and that the Official Inquiry which opened this week and is scheduled to last at least six months, a thread devoted to the ongoing findings of this enquiry seems appropriate.
Having followed the first three days of CCTV footage and evidence thus far presented to the jury, my conclusion is really quite different to the way I had interpreted these sad last days.
One example which opposes the findings of the Paget Investigation is that Diana was reported to have left the Imperial Suite of the Ritz Hotel, Paris, distressed and in tears. CCTV footage proves this totally incorrect.
This is an 'enquiry' as opposed to an 'inquest' which is being held before a jury of eleven members of the British public who first were required to prove no connection to the royal family, the Fayeds, the paparazzi, the hospital or police in Paris and etc.
Although argued otherwise be some people, this is probably the closest we will ever get to the truth of the events of that fateful day in Paris and is therefore of historic importance.
News Links / Russia Bombers patrol North Atlantic
This new topic isn't altogether news, but it is worrying.
President Putin has instructed his bombers to patrol the North Atlantic - RAF fighters have intercepted them over the North Sea.
How far is Putin willing to provoke?
News Links / Putin threatens to target nuclear weapons on Europe
Extremely alarming developing news -
President Putin has announced that he will target nuclear missiles on Europe if the United States persists in installing a new radar base in the Czech Republic.
I think there is every possibility that we are witnessing the embryonic phase of a new Cold War.
I wish our European partners would invite Russia to join the Union. Why, if they are prepared to allow Turkey to become part of Europe, do they steadfastly refuse to admit Russia? Certainly, geographically and historically, western Russia is infinitely more 'European' than Turkey.
Never again should our nations be the pawns on the political chessboard called 'Europe'.
Because we had a stupid Prime Minister who supported George Bush in the illegal invasion of Iraq, American hawks and arms industry must realise, the population of the UK knows this was a huge, unpardonable crime and that there will be no repetition. Our European partners were wise enough to refuse to participate.
The Stuarts of Scotland / Scottish Crown Jewels
Scattered around the Forum are many references to priceless, matchless jewels - none more so than those belonging to the British Crown and to the Windsors. I thought it might interest some readers to discover that Scotland has its own crown jewels - far older and, in their own way, more historic than those known throughout the world, which are on public view in the Tower of London. In fact the Scottish crown jewels are said to be the 'oldest in Christendom'.
The Crown Jewels of Scotland - or, as they are popularly termed - 'The Honours of Scotland' - have a colourful, dramatic history and were only restored to the Crown Room in the Castle thanks to the sleuthing of Sir Walter Scott.
The Scottish Honours comprise a crown, a sword and a sceptre. The crown is created from Scottish gold. The main structure of the crown is made from the gold which was, in great haste, moulded into a circlet to crown the head of Robert the Bruce in 1306. As with all Scottish Kings, King Robert was corwned at the ancient Palace of Scone (pronounced skoon). However, his coronation was different. All previous Scottish kings were crowned sitting on a stone - known today as the Stone of Destiny. In 1296, King Edward I ('The Hammer of the Scots') stole the stone which was believed to have mystical powers and which he perceived as a symbol of Scottish sovereignty. (More on the Stone of Scone/Destiny later)
Almost two hundred years elapsed when, in 1540, the crown was refashioned and worn by King James IV at the coronation of his wife, Mary of Guise. They were the parents of Mary Queen of Scots. The Scottish crown has remained in the same form to the present day. A gold circlet, with gold arcs rising to simple cross. The cap is fashioned from red velvet. Like the gold, the gems which bejewel the crown come from Scottish land and river bed - amythysts and fresh water pearls. 22 jewels were added to the original 20 precious stones during the remodelling.
The sword was gifted to James IV by Pope Julius II in 1507. At four feet six inches long, it has an elaborately carved handle with engravings of Sts Peter and Paul. It is the sceptre which is the oldest of the Honours. It too was a papal gift, presented to James the Fourth in 1494.
It was at the coronation of the infant Mary, Queen of Scots at Stirling Castle in 1543, that all three 'Honours' were brought together for the first time. The Honours were only used at the coronation of a further three monarchs before they disappeared.
The Windsors / Re: Windsor Jewels Part 6
This thread will be devoted to the marvellous treasure trove of jewels gifted by the Duke to the Duchess of Windsor. In particular we can explore the mystery of the missing jewels - especially Queen Mary's emeralds - which, miraculously, disappeared from the Duchess's bedroom. Bearing in mind this was the Windsors first visit to Great Britain after the debacle of the abdication, the timing seemed rather auspicious to say the least.
Forum Announcements / MAGNUS MAGNUSSON
Last night our very dear friend, Magnus Magnusson, died. We were last together on Thursday. Having not met since Christmas, there was an obvious deterioration in his condition. Stoical and gracious to the end, we drank coffee, Mag smoked a pipe, we talked, laughed and knowing his passion for birds - he was President of the Royal Society for the Protections of Birds - we discussed how, in Russia, sparrows will peck crumbs from the palm of your hand. I said - 'Its a real privilege.' Magnus leaned forward, looked into my eyes and replied, 'Yes, a real privilege.'
It was a real privilege to know Magnus for 28 years. These last few months, during which we met most mornings for coffee, we knew how poor was his prognosis, but he was not, for a single heartbeat, sad or sorry for himself. He was loving, kind, optimistic and, I cannot stress the word sufficiently, gracious. In a press release issued by his family, they said their father had taught them how to live and, in the last few weeks, he taught them how to die.
If you read the BBC News website, you will see the obituaries and tributes to this special man we were fortunate enough to know as a friend.
Forum Announcements / ALONE
I have just checked and I am the only person in the world on-line to the Alexander Palace Forum. There are 58 guests, but only one 'user' - me. I think this must be very rare indeed. Anyone else ever spotted this?
News Links / RUSSIAN POISONING
Mr Litvinenko's consultant toxicologiest, John Henry, has just spoken at a news conference where he stated his patient has been poisoned, most likely by radio-active Thalium. It is the radio-active component which is causing the greatest concern. This makes Mr Litvinenoko's long term prospects very grim.
Mr Litvinenko's spirits are high. He is fully aware of the seriousness of his situation. However, his entire immune system has been virtually destroyed. Mr Litvinenko has been granted political asylum in the UK and he is under guard in hospital. It is the anti-terrorist branch of the Metropolitan Police which is investigating the matter.
The Kremlin have issued a statement to the effect that Russian Security Services were not involved in the poisoning. Mr Gordievsky and various other Russian spokesmen are scathing. If they are right in their assessment, sadly this directly impacts on any of us who are actively involved with today's Russia.
The Windsors / The courtesy of the curtsey
A whimsy of a topic inspired by a rather (I suspect) tongue in cheek question as to whether one should curtsey to the Marchioness of Douro.
Nowadays it is not considered an obligation to curtsey. The Queen, is, I understand, not particularly concerned whether or not those who meet her make this move. I have had the privilege of meeting HM on more than one occasion. Curtseying seemed to me entirely appropriate even automatic. I also curtseyed on being presented to the Duke of Edinburgh. When in the company of PssMoK, I have to confess, the very idea of curtseying did not enter my mind.
As portrayed in "The Queen", 'Cherie Blair' agonised over making a curtsey to 'The Queen'. An avowed republican, her knees appeared to sieze up - it was a very funny moment. How do posters feel about making this act - curtsey or bow - of respect? To which royal - British or European - would you feel inclined to make this mark of respect.
News Links / Ivan Alexaev
This morning Ivan Alexaev passed away. The community which is the staff of Tsarskoe Selo Museums is in shock and deep sadness at the loss of this irreplaceable colleague.
Ivan Alexaev was a ceiling artist. He contributed to the restoration of the ceiling in the Great Hall in the Catherine Palace as well as many of the other marvellous plafonds in the Palace. Of the three ceiling restorers, at 73 years of age, he was the youngest. His life has been devoted to recreating the exquisite beauty of the Catherine Palace.
I last saw him in March of this year. The ceiling painters' workshop is now situated in the Great Library of the Alexander Palace. At that time he was working on the ceiling for the Cathedral of the Catherine Palace. He knew there would be many months, if not years, of work before its completion. His enthusiasm was infectious as he explained in detail the intracacies - and miracles - of perspective while piecing together a tattered ceiling painting and restoring it to its original beauty. He was, literally, painting a ceiling on the floor.
Ivan Alexaev will not see his marvellous ceiling in situ. Now there are only two masters left. This is the beginning of the end of an era.
Forum Announcements / Pornographic spammer
Please ignore all postings by 'Don Johnson' - a very pathetic creature who has nothing to do with and no place on this forum.


I don't know if there is any ingredient as versatile and beloved as a can of condensed cream of mushroom soup. It can be gravy, sauce, or my personal favorite… the perfect bechamel for pretty much any casserole (like this vegan green bean casserole). There's just a couple of problems: My wife can't have gluten and neither of us can have the cream. So what does that mean? I need to create a vegan cream of mushroom soup recipe that is also gluten-free. Not to mention DELICIOUS! Challenge accepted.
Wash whole baby bella mushrooms.
In several batches, dice mushrooms.
In a large sauce pan – add oil, mushrooms, garlic, salt, and pepper. Sauté over medium-high heat for 10-15 minutes.
Cook until mushrooms have released their juices and mostly evaporated.
Meanwhile – in a medium bowl, combine soy milk, onion powder, and cornstarch. Mix well, making sure there are no lumps.
Add milk mixture to mushrooms and reduce to medium-low heat. Cook until desired thickness is reached, probably about 5 minutes.
Rich mushroom soup with "condensed" texture, perfect for casseroles.
In a large sauce pan - add oil, mushrooms, garlic, salt, and pepper. Sauté over medium-high heat for 10-15 minutes, until mushrooms have released their juices and mostly evaporated.
Meanwhile - in a medium bowl, combine soy milk, onion powder, and cornstarch. Mix well, making sure there are no lumps.
Refrigerate and use in your favorite casserole recipe. Enjoy!
This recipe looks great! Do you know if it will freeze well?
I have not tried that, but I think it should work just fine.
My daughter LOVES mushroom soup, and has missed it so much since we gave up dairy. So tonight I'm making this whole30 compliant with cashew milk and arrowroot powder. Can't wait to try!
How did it turn out with your replacements?
I was also curious if almond or cashew milk were acceptable substitutes.
Yes, both will work just the same. My sister-in-law always uses almond milk when she makes this recipe. And she loves it!
This recipe sounds like it has too much liquid in it to be "condensed" cream of mushroom, and that it will turn out as the fully made soup. Please comment on your experience with it.
What gives it the "condensed" texture is the cornstarch. There's quite a bit of it, and the more you cook it once the cornstarch is added, the more it will thicken. So yes, there is quite a bit of liquid, but you can "condense" it as much as you like!
Looks wonderful!… and yes, I grew up making casseroles etc with cream of mushroom soup.
It was always just an ingredient, never eaten by itself …this looks like something I'd eat as a soup.
Do you have a favorite brand of soy milk to use in this?
It's delicious enough to eat as is! As for the soy milk, Silk is usually what we have on hand.
Finally! A delicious and easy recipe for cream of mushroom. Thank you! Now I jus5 need cream of tomato ?
And thanks for the great feedback! Glad you enjoyed it.
I made this again today to use for a green bean casserole for Thanksgiving. For those wondering about what types of milk you can use, so far I've made this with almond milk, soy milk, and today I tried it out with Ripple (pea protein milk). All three worked great! Love this recipe!
This Soup was freaking delicious!!!! Super easy to make and so fantastic. Everyone (even the carnivores) loved it. Will definitely make again.
As a new cook, I found this recipe very easy to utilize for my vegan casseroles. It turns out perfect every time!
Would you use this recipe to replace one can of cream of mushroom soup called for?
Yes, it makes about 2 cans worth of soup.


If you love the Universe as I do, and already own a telescope, perhaps with the time you have lost some of your enthusiasm. Most likely that's because you've seen all what you have ever dreamed of. If you still didn't try various filters, then I have good news for you. You can forget everything you have seen until now and rediscover the night sky again. But from very new perspective.
This time with much more colors, sharpness and contrast. Whether this will be the polar caps of Mars, or some distant nebula, looking through telescopic filters will definitely enhance your midnight experience.
Like photographic filters, these for telescope increase detail and improve contrast. They do it by removing unwanted color of the wavelength of light.
The most common "junk" light is the one comes from the light pollution. If you are an amateur astronomer and live in a city you probably know what I mean. Unfortunately, light pollution can kill your enthusiasm even if you're miles away from the downtown.
Fortunately, there are filters that magically will clear the image from light pollution, do not cost a fortune, and they gonna make love your telescope much more!
Order now, and while you are waiting the little thing to get delivered, start putting out the Telescope from the closet.
Moon – the closest object to Earth, and why not the most frequently observed, also looks far more beautiful if you look in details with Polarizing Filters for Observing the Moon. Did't try yet? Well, believe me, the Moon is so bright that you have miss a lot. Because of the brightness, your pupil of the eye is shrinking, so much less light is getting to your eyes. And you know best – less light, less details!
An important role plays the filters for observations Planets and objects in deep space. You might argue about filtering of light – you gave a lot of money for large aperture exactly to gather more light. But in Astronomy not every light is helpful.
Certain wavelengths of light coming from, for example, a nebula, do not contribute to detail. If you remove them, the image that remains is much sharper and have better contrast.
Telescope filters do just that: eliminate light that does not add any detail to the object. What remains is a much cleaner image, that lets you see the finer details with better contrast.
Different objects require different types of filter to see them best. Jupiter's Great Red Spot needs a different filter than this for polar regions of Mars or Venus's clouds. In the chart below you can find the appropriate filters for the various objects.
If you are looking to buy a solar filter for your telescope, then let me tell you that it is almost impossible to find the right one for you. The reason is that unlike other filters, solar one does not apply into a standard 1.25 inch eyepiece, but should be put front of the tube, where all light gets in. Now days there is countless types of telescopes in the market with different sizes and solar filter should fit perfectly on your telescope.
Something very important !!!! Never Ever point your telescope to the Sun without sun filter and never look through the eyepiece. You risk losing your eyesight, and damage the telescope.
So, after it became clear that it is difficult to find a ready solar filter for your telescope model, the next thing you can do is to create one.
If you are from those who are not very handy, it means we are much alike. I'm not that "always creating something" person, but my desire to look at the Sun was so big that I couldn't resist.
For my big surprise making a Sun filter was not only easy but also very enjoyable work.
The solar sheet can be ordered by the review further down in this page. For my 6 inch telescope, 10 inch square perfectly matched the filter which I made.
Follow the steps in the video and you will succeed. Here are some pictures from my personal experience with the preparation of the filter. And the prize? Well, you will have to look at the sun with the telescope.
7 1.25inch filters for telescopes in a set. Include 1 Crystalview Moon Filter, 1 Polarizing Filter #3, 5 planetary filters: No.56 Green, No.12 Yellow, No 23A Red, No.21 Orange and No.82A Blue.
Crystalview Moon Filter—–Enhance Lunar Planetary Views – Eliminating the Street Light Smog.
Polarizing Filter #3—–Enhances the contrast of the moon and planets in photographic images.
5 color planetary filters — The five color filters (Red, Blue, Green, Orange&Yellow) highlight features on Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn.They are an essential tool of the lunar and planetary observer, for filters permit the observation and photography of surface detail that is often virtually invisible without filtration.
All filters has M28.5×0.6 1.25inch standand filter thread on both sides. With Metal Frame and Optical Glass.
Black polymer is the most common filtering material for observing sunspots and granulation, through telescopes and binoculars.
Make a filter on your own for any telescope / binoculars / camera, and for a fraction of what factory made filters cost.
The sun will appear in a natural orange color when viewed through your telescope using this filter.
WARNING: ALWAYS MAKE SURE THE FILTER IS WELL ATTACHED TO THE TELESCOPE/BINOCULARS, USING STICKY TAPE, TO KEEP IT FROM FALLING WHILE OBSERVING!
I would love to own a telescope myself. Living in Norway, means not as much light polution as in other places in the world.
I suppose there is not a one-filter-fits-all-planets filter, but the complete set for different views sounds pretty awesome.
I am not a handyman either when it comes down making sunlight filters. I am not sure if I would even dare to attempt making such, but it was a clear manual at least.
Thanks for your review of the lenses. I will bookmark this site, for I should find out more about telescopes before I buy one. I'm not most interested in the sun, but very interested in everything else visible here. Every night I can clearly see the milkyway.
Got any recommendations regarding a good beginner telescope?
Norway is a wonderful country in which, besides the endless night sky, you can also see the northern glow for which I noblely envy you. Unfortunately, light pollution does not depend on the geographical location, but on the size of the city you live in. Larger city – more pollution.
If you want to get a Тelescope, then here on the site there is a pretty detailed information what you need to know to make a purchase. I have also looked at my favorites of every kind. If you have any questions – I am always here to help.
Thanks for the comment and good luck!
Yup, you should definitely try to look with some filter. It's totally different experience! You can start with that for the Moon. Your eye will appreciate it most and you will be able to see much more details.
I've just gone through your post on filters. Though I'm not astronomy student, yet I love Telescope. And definitely I want to own one. Your write-up is really helpful for mes as I have come to know about filters that are used to observe different planets. Also the video 'polarised light' is very impressive.
Thank you for such great post.
Thanks for the comment! If you have some free time and looking for a new hobby – try Astronomy! Get a Telescope and be inspired every day (actually night, if we have to be more precisely) You gonna Love It. Everyone will!

India's Father's Rights Wing to Stage Hunger Strike
From a CAFE member:
This March 2015 the Father's Rights Wing of the Save Indian Family organization will be going on a hunger strike.
The Father's Rights Wing is spreading awareness about the growing number of father's who are being alienated from their children. The group says they are, "tired of being treated as free automatic teller machines" and that they are, "tired of being treated like a visitor in their own child's life." They speak of the injustice at the family law courts and how disgruntled wives can pursue criminal proceedings. How fathers are being wrongfully imprisoned along with even extended family members. The group addresses issues about fake rape cases, child support and dowry.
However, the most tragic and perhaps the motivating factor for the Father's Rights Wing is the overwhelming number of fathers and married men that are committing suicide. The group's website states that in 2012 approximately 63,000 married men committed suicide.
One female supporter of the group told me she became involved because her brother committed
suicide three years ago due to his wife's false rape allegation. Since, then she has been actively promoting the group and speaking up for father's rights.
We must support the Father's Rights Wing as they spread awareness for father's rights. With India being the largest democracy in the world there is potential for the Father's Rights Wing to become influential and a positive movement for change.
On March 7 and 8th we must stand with our brothers in India as they endure a hunger strike and fight for the rights of father's not just in India but around the world.

Imagine being part of a team where a key member weighs half a tonne, has four legs and does not understand your spoken language. Also imagine that it knows your innermost thoughts, fears and intentions and will not move or work with you until those thoughts, emotions and body language are consistent and clear.
Up to 93% of meaning is communicated non-verbally. With their prey instincts and hypersensitive awareness, horses size people up instantly and accurately. They read the truth in our energy and body language and react to what they see. They provide instant, honest and accurate feedback in the moment creating experiences which get to the core of issues quickly, powerfully and effectively.
If you want a horse to cooperate and follow, you must demonstrate real leadership.

Q: Test if lines are in regression CI R ggplot I have a dataset that I am plotting with a linear regression (just by geom_smooth()). I also have a list slopes and intercepts for other lines. I'm wondering what the best way is to test whether these other lines fall inside the CI of the regression. Real dataset will have many lines to test, so I'm hoping there is some way to test en masse.
library(tidyverse)
# sample data
set.seed(0)
df = tibble(
  x = runif(20,min=5,max=10),
  y = x + rnorm(20,mean=2,sd=3)
)

# df of lines
lines.df <- data.frame(line = c("line 1","line 2","line 3","line 4"),
                       slope = c(.9,1.2,1.4,1.1),
                       intercept = c(2.5,-.5,-.44,0))

# plot
ggplot(df) +
  aes(x = x, y = y) +
  geom_point(size = 2) +
  geom_smooth(method = "lm", level = 0.95, fullrange = TRUE, color = "black")+
  geom_abline(data=lines.df,aes(slope=slope,intercept=intercept,color=line))

We can see above that lines 1, 2, & 4 are within CI of this regression, but line 3 is not. How can I test this (visually or otherwise) to add a y/n column in my lines.df as to whether they will be in this confidence interval or not?
The only idea I have so far is to create a regression model, calculate CI, then mutate a column in the lines.df extrapolating that line and adding "if y(line1) at x=0 is between y(model(0)±CI(0)) & y(line1) at x=.5 is between y(model(.5)±CI(.5)) & y(line1) at x=1 is between y(model(1)±CI(1))" then insideCI=="yes". But that is pretty clunky and stupid, so I'm thinking there has to be a better way.
For the record, this does not need to be graphical, that's just the easiest way for me to explain what I am looking for.
It would be best for the code to be in dplyr/tidyverse syntax if possible.
Thanks!

A: The confidence band you get from ggplot is the predicted values of the fitted +/- 1.96*SE. So you need to check for every predicted values of your lines, it is < 1.96 * SE. To illustrate this the SE (sorry not very good with ggplots) :
df = df[order(df$x),]
fit = lm(y~x,data=df)
pred=predict(fit,se=TRUE)
plot(df,pch=20)
lines(df$x,fit$fitted.values)
lines(df$x,pred$fit+1.96*pred$se.fit,lty=8)
lines(df$x,pred$fit-1.96*pred$se.fit,lty=8)
for(i in 1:nrow(lines.df)){
with(lines.df,abline(b=slope[i],a=intercept[i],col=terrain.colors(4)[i]))
}

Then we go through your data, first storing the fitted + SE:
library(broom)
res = augment(fit)
# A tibble: 20 x 9
       y     x .fitted .se.fit .resid   .hat .sigma  .cooksd .std.resid
   <dbl> <dbl>   <dbl>   <dbl>  <dbl>  <dbl>  <dbl>    <dbl>      <dbl>
 1  6.64  5.31    7.00   0.981 -0.366 0.204    2.23 0.00455      -0.189
 2  8.28  5.88    7.55   0.816  0.738 0.141    2.23 0.0110        0.366
 3  6.77  6.01    7.66   0.782 -0.890 0.130    2.22 0.0144       -0.439
 4  9.16  6.03    7.68   0.777  1.48  0.128    2.20 0.0388        0.728

And then we go through the lines, using purrr and tidyr, (apologies in advance, since you prefer a dplyr/tidyverse solution, and I am not so well versed in those):
library(purrr)
library(tidyr)

lines.df %>% nest(param=c(slope,intercept)) %>%
# calculates values according to slopes
mutate(pred = map(param,~.x$slope*df$x +.x$intercept),
# calculate the difference between these values and the actual fit
       deviation_from_lm=map(pred,~abs(.x-res$.fitted)),
#check all of them within 1.96*se
       within=map_lgl(deviation_from_lm,~all(.x<=1.96*res$.se.fit))
)

# A tibble: 4 x 5
  line   param            pred       deviation_from_lm within
  <fct>  <list>           <list>     <list>            <lgl>
1 line 1 <tibble [1 × 2]> <dbl [20]> <dbl [20]>        TRUE
2 line 2 <tibble [1 × 2]> <dbl [20]> <dbl [20]>        TRUE
3 line 3 <tibble [1 × 2]> <dbl [20]> <dbl [20]>        FALSE
4 line 4 <tibble [1 × 2]> <dbl [20]> <dbl [20]>        TRUE

10. "In Bruges" J: 8/10 H: 2/10 – "In Bruges" is what I like to call a pseudo Christmas movie. Like, it's witty, fun and has genuine emotion but Christmas is only mentioned about thrice. "In Bruges" ain't going to get you into the Christmas spirit but you'll get a great movie in return.
9."Elf" J: 5/10 H: 9/10 – While the overall quality of "Elf" is debatable, it makes sense that it's a Christmas classic. Just in the 1h 37m runtime, it covers the importance of the holidays while delivering a plethora of funny jokes. "Elf" is a tad bit dated, but that doesn't keep it from being a pretty good winter movie.
8. "Die Hard" G: 8/10 H: 4/10- "Die Hard" is a classic action film that takes place on Christmas Eve. Because of this, the film carries a nice Christmas feeling that adds a fun touch to the already adrenaline filled joyride. Despite the blood-soaked Christmas sweaters and Santa hats, the movie still doesn't quite contain the essence of the holidays.
7. "Gremlins" G: 7/10 H: 6/10 – "Gremlins" is the essential Christmas horror film. It's not only just a horror movie that takes place during Christmas, but a horror movie that mixes holiday traditions with disturbing images to create a tidy gingerbread cookie of a film for an older audience.
6. "The Nightmare Before Christmas" J: N/A H: 7/10 – Now it's questionable if this even counts as a Christmas film, but at the very least it's a quality movie. Also, there's no better movie to watch when you're transitioning from Halloween to Christmas because it has a little bit of both. If you're looking for a movie to get you in the holiday spirit, this might just do it.
5. "The Polar Express" J: 6/10 H: 9/10 – "The Polar Express" is the perfect movie to watch during a snowy afternoon with a steaming cup of hot chocolate. The film never presents anything too loud or challenging which makes for a relaxing experience. While "The Polar Express" has a mixed reception, it maintains the morals of the book while being a fantastic Christmas movie.
4. "Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer" G: 6/10 H: 9/10 – This Rankin/Bass special seems to be on TV 24/7 around this time of year, and for good reason. The song with the quirky (although a bit creepy) animation is iconic and a symbol of the holiday. Each and every character has its own Christmas ornament because of the staple this short has become in Christmas. No matter what, you can be sure you'll see something from time-honored classic this Christmas.
3. "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" G: 8/10 H: 10/10 – Christmas is about love and giving, so what better way to convey that then to have a protagonist whose heart is two times too small. The wickedly charming lead of the story allows the viewer to re-learn the true morals of Christmas while enjoying the creative colors of the 1960s Seuss animation. A fantastic Christmas special.
2. "A Charlie Brown Christmas" James: 9/10 H: 9/10 – For a kids short, "A Charlie Brown Christmas" can sure be depressing. Our lead is constantly bullied until the end of the short which can lead to bittersweet experience. Nonetheless, "A Charlie Brown Christmas" delivers with its heartwarming conclusion and its Christmas Spirit.
1. "A Christmas Story" Graham: 8/10 Holiday Spirit Rating: 10/10 – "A Christmas Story" could be a questionable choice for the number one. It doesn't have flying reindeers or jolly elves or even a magic Santa, but instead a true depiction of Christmas. What makes this film the best is how it represents the ups and downs of the experience that each and every family, including your own, goes through during the December month. Whether it's awkward family dinners or joyful snowball fights, "A Christmas Story" goes through it all and provides the ultimate Christmas feeling!
Great list guys! Absolutely stellar!

Q: includes and the order at which they are called in C++, windows I'm a little confused at why this is and i'm sure it's a basic thing I should know if i'm programming in C++ but here is the question:
I have a "Windows.cpp" and at the top it has includes of
#include <windows.h>
#include "Game.h"
#include "Mouse.h"
#include "Screen.h"
...

In my Screen.h I have the following which obviously requires information from windows.h because of the use of DWORD:
#pragma once

#include <windows.h>

class ScreenServer;

class ScreenClient
{
public:
    ScreenClient( const ScreenServer &server );

    DWORD GetScreenHeight();
    DWORD GetScreenWidth();
...

The question is, why do I have to #include windows.h within Screen.h, when my "Windows.cpp" already has included it before "Screen.h" is included?

A: Short answer:
Because some other file that doesn't #include <windows.h> might include Screen.h.
A bit longer:
In general, you should always include the headers you need, where you need them, and not rely on them being included somewhere else. Use forward declarations where possible, but if you need a full type, include the header.

Latest news from around the world
Family of children's author Roald Dahl quietly apologize for 'prejudiced' anti-Semitic remarks
"We hope that, just as he did at his best, at his absolute worst, Roald Dahl can help remind us of the lasting impact of words," his family said. Writer Roald Dahl in 1971.Ronald Dumont / Daily Express/Getty ImagesDec. 6, 2020, 2:06 PM UTCBy Isobel van Hagen
LONDON — Generations of children couldn't imagine their upbringing without tales of Willy Wonka's golden ticket or lessons learned from the Big Friendly Giant.
But the spotlight is now being shined on a less-known element of the beloved late author's life after his family recently apologized for his anti-Semitic remarks. An undated post on Dahl's website said the family "deeply apologize for the lasting and understandable hurt" caused.
"Those prejudiced remarks are incomprehensible to us and stand in marked contrast to the man we knew and to the values at the heart of Roald Dahl's stories, which have positively impacted young people for generations," the statement said.
"We hope that, just as he did at his best, at his absolute worst, Roald Dahl can help remind us of the lasting impact of words."
Considered "one of the world's most imaginative, successful and loved storytellers," Roald Dahl's work has increased in popularity since his death according to his official website.
The British 'Matilda' author — whose books have been transformed into movies and stage plays — died in 1990 at the age 74.
Although Dahl's declarations were public knowledge, they have not been acknowledged by his family until now. In a 1990 New York Times Letter to the Editor titled, 'Roald Dahl Also Left a Legacy of Bigotry,' the former National Director of the Anti-Defamation League, Abraham H. Foxman, brought attention to the issue.
Members of the public gather to watch a giant peach during City of the Unexpected, a celebration of the author Roald Dahl in Cardiff, Wales, in 2016.Matt Cardy / Getty Images
"Your obituary on the British writer Roald Dahl omits an important aspect of the subject's life. Mr. Dahl… had his own dark and unexpected side: he was a blatant and admitted anti-Semite."
Foxman goes on to mention an 1983 interview with British political magazine The New Statesman, also reported in The Sunday Times, where Dahl said: "There is a trait in the Jewish character that does provoke animosity, maybe it's a kind of lack of generosity towards non-Jews."
"Even a stinker like Hitler didn't just pick on them for no reason," Dahl said.
Later in 1990, the year he died, Dahl told The Independent: "I'm certainly anti-Israeli and I've become anti-Semitic in as much as that you get a Jewish person in another country like England strongly supporting Zionism."
In a statement to The Sunday Times, the Roald Dahl Story Company further acknowledged and apologized for the remarks.
The apology comes at a time of political and cultural reckoning against anti-Seminism across Britain, after the U.K.'s Labour Party suspended its former leader Jeremy Corbyn after a report detailed serious failings in the party's handling of anti-Semitism complaints under his leadership.

In March 2016, high school students, W.K., B.L., and appellant A.J.B., discussed that M.B., a fellow student who had been diagnosed with autism and ADHD, had recently posted some tweets discussing girls at school. B.L. and A.J.B. told W.K. that they wanted to post materials on M.B.'s Twitter page to elicit a "negative response." A.J.B. created a Twitter account with no identifying information called "Jeb Bush's Guac Bowl." A.J.B. then began tweeting messages tagging M.B.'s account over two to three hours, with several referring to autism. One post contained a sign saying "Autistic Children Play Here" with a caption reading "Meanwhile at [M.B.]'s Daycare." Another post contained a checkerboard of images with M.B.'s face and a caption reading "Click the Autistic Child." Another post encouraged M.B. to "try a new cologne called 'Anthrax.' " One post encouraged M.B. to "consider suicide," while another contained an image stating "Consider the following" with a picture of a person holding a Clorox Bleach bottle. A.J.B. also posted an image of Pepe the Frog, "a known hate symbol," hanging by the neck on a rope.
A.J.B., the student who posted the tweets, was charged with harassment and stalking. The initial charges were misdemeanors, but the state added a count of felony stalking (due to the victim's disability). A.J.B. lost at trial and appealed, asserting a First Amendment challenge.
Overbreadth: The court says that the statute implicates the First Amendment but will be found overbroad only if unconstitutional in a "substantial number of its applications." The court distinguishes prior Minnesota cases invalidating harassment statutes and says unlike those cases, here, the statute is targeted. The statute only applies to specific conduct, that is done repeatedly, and with the intent to cause some effect on the recipient. In the court's view, this saves the statute from an overbreadth challenge.
As-Applied Challenge: A.J.B. analogized his tweets to sending out flyers and posting on a bulletin board and said his tweets were akin to leafletting. The state argued that his speech was entitled to "diminished" protection.
Ultimately, the court finds A.J.B.'s citation to Cassidy inapposite.
[t]hese cases demonstrate that engaging in a pattern of harassing conduct is not protected by the First Amendment simply because it is carried out by means of speech.
The court also disposes of A.J.B.'s arguments regarding whether the state bore the burden of showing the A.J.B.'s actions were not constitutionally protected and whether the state adduced sufficient evidence to support a conviction.
This is an awful act by A.J.B. Here, the facts are particularly troubling given that the acts took place in a school setting and the victim had a disability. The court does not address this, but one could argue that the victim could suffer diminished educational opportunity as a result of this type of communications. This was not a school discipline case but the school administrators probably had viable arguments based on educational opportunity. It should have probably been a school discipline case rather than a felony.
The social media cases always tend to gloss over the effect of blocking as an effective remedy. Sure the person who is tagged is likely to see it, but they have a simple route to never being forced to see tweets from the user in question again.
The harassment and stalking cases all deal with the core question of whether otherwise protected speech can be proscribed because it causes a person emotional harm or mental unrest. The Supreme Court has never expressly endorsed this approach, but federal and state appeals courts have taken various routes to achieving this result. Ultimately, the Supreme Court will have to weigh in.
However, the law doesn't criminalize anti-social behavior generally. To be convicted of a crime, the defendant must have satisfied every element specified by the legislature. So does AJB's conduct constitute the crimes of harassment or stalking?
Per this court's interpretation, it's criminal stalking in Minnesota to send two or more @tweets to a person knowing they would cause the person to "feel frightened, threatened, oppressed, persecuted, or intimidated." The Minnesota criminal harassment statute is equally dubious, applying when a person sends two or more @tweets "with the intent to abuse, disturb, or cause distress." Really…? These standards massively diverge from the paradigmatic lay expectations of what constitutes stalking or harassment. By these definitions, I've been stalked and harassed many times on Twitter; and query if you have ever violated either criminal standard? (Don't answer that out loud!). Please don't give me any BS about prosecutorial discretion fixing the legislature's poor drafting.
The court says the statutes aren't facially overbroad because they "penalize only specific, repeated conduct done with intent, knowledge, or reason to know that the conduct will elicit a particular response." But doesn't the "particular response" matter for purposes of Constitutional analysis? The statutes refer to feelings like "intimidated" or "disturbed." But I'm allowed to tell sarcastic jokes that might make someone feel bad about themselves or have a less-than-great day….aren't I?
The court's technological description of @tweeting is also garbled. It recounts evidence that "the act of tagging someone means that the messages are 'on their wall. Anyone can see it but [the poster is] just making sure that the [tagged] person sees it.'" The reference to "their wall" in this passage is confusing. I cannot appear in someone else's Twitter timeline unless they retweet me, whereas in Facebook and LinkedIn, my posts can show up on other people's walls (at least in some cases) just by including their name in my post. Furthermore, AJB's barrage of @tweets would NOT appear in AJB's main newsfeed (as opposed to the "tweets and replies" option), and and would not seen by most readers, if the @ reference was the tweet's first character; and none of MB's followers would have seen AJB's tweets unless they were also followers of AJB. Plus, MB would see the @tweets only if MB hadn't blocked AJB and only if MB looks in the notifications area (which not everyone does). There's a lot of technological complexity about how content appears on Twitter that the court glossed over.
So I agree 100% with Venkat's bottom line: the court overread the statutes and underread the First Amendment to fit AJB's egregious behavior. When it comes to the interpretation of criminal laws and the associated criminal sanctions, such errors should trouble all of us. I also agree with Venkat that this situation almost certainly would have been better handled through school discipline rather than the criminal courts.
Federal Criminal "True Threats" Require More Than Negligence–Elonis v. U.S.
Under this interpretation trolling is illegal.
"However, the law doesn't criminalize anti-social behavior generally." <- Pretty sure that's *exactly* what it does.

Louis Charles Jean Dumont (11 August 1911 – 19 November 1998) was a French anthropologist.

Dumont was born in Thessaloniki, in the Salonica Vilayet of the Ottoman Empire.  He taught at Oxford University during the 1950s, and was then director of the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales (EHESS) in Paris. A specialist on the cultures and societies of India, Dumont also studied western social philosophy and ideologies.

Works
His works include Homo Hierarchicus: Essai sur le système des castes (1966), From Mandeville to Marx: The Genesis and Triumph of Economic Ideology (1977) and Essais sur l'individualisme: Une perspective anthropologique sur l'idéologie moderne (1983), in which he contrasts holism with individualism.

Dumont died, aged 87, in Paris.
