\section{Introduction}

Given a short exact sequence of groups
\begin{equation}\label{g}
0\to V \to G \to L\to 1,
\end{equation}
where $V$ is abelian (written additively), we say that $G$ is {\em an extension} of $V$ by~$L$, or
{\em a covering} of $L$ with kernel $V$.
Such extensions arise naturally in inductive arguments
or when constructing minimal examples and counterexamples. We will be interested in the case
where $G$ is finite and nonsplit and $V$ acquires the structure of an irreducible $FL$-module (for a
suitable finite field $F$ of characteristic $p$) from the conjugation in $G$.
Such extensions can only exist if $p$ divides $|L|$.
We also restrict ourselves to the case $L\cong\operatorname{PSL}_2(q)$.
Extensions of this form for $p=2$ and $q$ odd were explicitly constructed in \cite{00Buri}, and their automorphism groups were described \cite{21RevZav}. Some results in the case of $q$ being a power of $p$ were obtained in~\cite{15Bur}.
The aim of this paper is to classify such extensions in the case $2\ne p\mid (q-1)$ and describe their automorphism groups.
In this case, we can use the fact that the natural permutation $FL$-module arising from the action of $L$ on the projective
line over $\mathbb{F}_q$ is completely reducible. This is not so if $2\ne p\mid (q+1)$
which case will be a subject of future research. We now state the main results.

\begin{thm} \label{nonsplit} Up to isomorphism there is a unique nonsplit extension
of an ele\-men\-ta\-ry abelian $p$-group~$V$ by
$L=\operatorname{PSL}_2(q)$ with irreducible induced action of $L$ on~$V$, where $2\ne p\mid (q-1)$.
In this extension, $|V|=p^q$.
\end{thm}

The group $V$ from Theorem \ref{nonsplit} as an $\mathbb{F}_pL$-module can be identified with the unique
nonprincipal irreducible module in the principal $p$-block of $L$.
The low-dimensional co\-ho\-mo\-lo\-gy of $V$ is as follows.

\begin{thm}\label{2coh}
In the above notation, we have
$H^1(L,V)\cong H^2(L,V)\cong \mathbb{F}_p$.
\end{thm}

Recall that $P\Gamma L_2(q)$ denotes the extension of $PGL_2(q)$ by its field auto\-mor\-phisms.
The automorphism group of the nonsplit extension from Theorem \ref{nonsplit} is described~by

\begin{thm} \label{aut}
Let $G$ fit in the nonsplit exact sequence $(\ref{g})$, where $V$ is an irreducible $\mathbb{F}_pL$-module
for $L=\operatorname{PSL}_2(q)$ and $2\ne p\mid (q-1)$.  Then there is a short exact sequence
\begin{equation}\label{autg}
\qquad 0\to W \to \operatorname{Aut}(G) \to P\Gamma L_2(q)\to 1,
\end{equation}
where $W$ is elementary abelian of order $p^{q+1}$.
\end{thm}

\section{Auxiliary facts}

Basic notation and facts of homological algebra can be found in \cite{70Gru,94Wei}. For abelian groups $A$ and $B$, we denote $\operatorname{Hom}(A,B) = \operatorname{Hom}_\mathbb{Z}(A,B)$ and $\operatorname{Ext}(A,B) = \operatorname{Ext}_\mathbb{Z}^1(A,B)$.

\begin{lem}[The Universal Coefficient Theorem for Cohomology]\cite[Ch.\,3, The\-o\-rem 3]{70Gru} \label{ucoe} For all $i\geqslant 1$, every group $G$, and every trivial $G$-module $A$,
$$
H^i(G,A)\cong\operatorname{Hom}(H_i(G,\mathbb{Z}),A)\oplus\operatorname{Ext}(H_{i-1}(G,\mathbb{Z}),A).
$$
\end{lem}
\begin{lem}\cite[\S 3.5]{70Gru}\label{coh1} For a trivial $G$-module $A$, we have
\begin{enumerate}
  \item[$(i)$] $H^1(G,A)\cong \operatorname{Hom}(G/G',A)$.
  \item[$(ii)$] $H_1(G,A)\cong G/G'\otimes_\mathbb{Z} A$.
\end{enumerate}
\end{lem}

\begin{lem}[Shapiro's lemma]\cite[\S 6.3]{94Wei} \label{shap} Let $H\leqslant G$ with $|G:H|$ finite. If $V$ is an $H$-module and $i\geqslant 0$ then $H^i(G,V^G)\cong H^i(H,V)$, where $V^G$ is the induced $G$-module.
\end{lem}

\begin{lem}\cite[p. 322]{18Deo}\label{ezmn} $\operatorname{Ext}(\mathbb{Z}_m,\mathbb{Z}_n)\cong \mathbb{Z}_d$, where $d=(m,n)$.
\end{lem}

\begin{lem}\cite[Proposition 3.3.4]{94Wei}\label{esum}.
$\operatorname{Ext}_R^i(A, B_1\oplus B_2)\cong \operatorname{Ext}_R^i(A,B_1)\oplus \operatorname{Ext}_R^i(A,B_2)$ for all rings $R$, $R$-modules $A,B_1,B_2$, and all $i\geqslant 0$.
\end{lem}

The Schur multiplier of a group $G$ is denoted by $\operatorname{Sch}(G)$.
If $A$ is a finite abelian group and $p$ a prime then $A_{(p)}$ denotes the $p$-primary component of $A$.
Henceforth, we assume that $G$ is finite.

\begin{lem}\cite[Theorem 25.1]{67Hup} \label{tim} Let $p$ be a prime and let $S\in\operatorname{Syl}_p(G)$.
Then $\operatorname{Sch}(G)_{(p)}$ is isomorphic to a subgroup of $\operatorname{Sch}(S)$.
\end{lem}

\begin{lem}\cite{76Gag}\label{lgag}
Let $F$ be a field of characteristic $p>0$ and let $V$ be an irreducible
$FG$-module that does not belong to the principal $p$-block of $G$. Then $H^n(G,V) = 0$ for all $n\geqslant 0$.
\end{lem}

Let $\theta$ be an irreducible character of $G$.
If $\operatorname{Z}(G)=1$ then $G\trianglelefteqslant \operatorname{Aut}(G)$
and we may speak of the inertia group
$I_{\operatorname{Aut}(G)}(\theta)=\{g\in \operatorname{Aut}(G)\mid \theta^g=\theta\}$.

\begin{prop}\cite[Proposition 4]{21RevZav}\label{normim}
Let $F$ be a field and $\mathcal{X}$ a faithful irreducible $F$-representation of a group $G$
with Brauer character $\theta\in\operatorname{iBr}_F(G)$ of degree $n$. Suppose that
$\operatorname{Z}(G)=1$ and denote
$$N=N_{\operatorname{GL}_n(F)}(\mathcal{X}(G))\quad \text{and} \quad Z=C_{\operatorname{GL}_n(F)}(\mathcal{X}(G)).$$ Then
$N/Z\cong I_{\operatorname{Aut}(G)}(\theta).$
\end{prop}

\section{Isomorphic extensions}

Let $Q$ be a group, $K$ a commutative ring with $1$, and $M$ a right $KQ$-module. The pair
$(\nu,\mu)\in \operatorname{Aut}(Q)\times \operatorname{Aut}_K(M)$ is {\it compatible} if
$$
(mg)\mu = (m\mu)(g\nu)
$$
for all $m\in M$, $g\in Q$. The set of all compatible pairs forms a group $\operatorname{Comp}(Q,M)$ under composition. Given $\tau\in Z^2(Q,M)$, one can define
\begin{equation}\label{cact}
\tau^{(\nu,\mu)}(g,h)=\tau(g\nu^{-1},h\nu^{-1})\mu
\end{equation}
for all $g,h\in Q$. Then the map $\tau\mapsto \tau^{(\nu,\mu)}$ is an action of $\operatorname{Comp}(Q,M)$ on $Z^2(Q,M)$
which preserves $B^2(Q,M)$ and so yields an action on $H^2(Q,M)$.

A {\em $KQ$-module extension} on $M$ by $Q$ is a group $E$  that fits in the short exact sequence

\begin{equation}\label{kge}
0\to M \stackrel{\iota}{\to} E \stackrel{\pi}{\to} Q \to 1
\end{equation}
so that the conjugation of $M$ (identified with $M\iota$) by elements of $E$ agrees with the $KQ$-module structure of $M$,
i.\,e. $m^e=m(e\pi)$ for all $m\in M$, $e\in E$.

\begin{prop}\cite[\S 2.7.4]{05HolEicObr} \label{comp} The classes of those isomorphisms of $KQ$-module extensions of $M$ by $Q$
that leave $M$ invariant as a $K$-module are in
a one-to-one correspondence with the orbits of $\operatorname{Comp}(Q,M)$ on $H^2(Q,M)$.
\end{prop}

In Proposition \ref{comp}, an isomorphism leaving $M$ invariant as a $K$-module means one that induces on $M$ an element of $\operatorname{Aut}_K(M)$.

The $KQ$-module structure on $M$ gives rise to the representation homomorphism $\mathcal{C}:Q\to \operatorname{Aut}_K(M)$ by the rule $\mathcal{C}(g):m\mapsto mg$ for all $m\in M$, $g\in Q$. Let $C$ be the centraliser of $\mathcal{C}(Q)$ in $\operatorname{Aut}_K(M)$. Then $(1,\gamma)\in \operatorname{Comp}(Q,M)$ for every $\gamma \in C$, because
$$(mg)\gamma=m\mathcal{C}(g)\gamma = m\gamma\mathcal{C}(g)=(m\gamma)g$$
for all $m\in M$, $g\in Q$. Hence, we also have an action of $C$ on both $Z^2(Q,M)$ and $H^2(Q,M)$ by setting
$\tau^\gamma=\tau^{(1,\gamma)}$ for $\tau \in Z^2(Q,M)$, $\gamma \in C$, i.\,e. $\tau^\gamma(g,h)=\tau(g,h)\gamma$. By Proposition \ref{comp}, this yields the following:

\begin{lem} \label{h2gscal} The elements of $H^2(Q,M)$ that are in the same $C$-orbit correspond to isomorphic
$KQ$-module extensions.
\end{lem}

In particular, we have the following fact, where two elements of $H^2(Q,M)$ are called scalar multiples if they differ by a factor in~$K^\times$.

\begin{cor} \label{h2scal} $KQ$-module extensions of $M$ by $Q$ corresponding to scalar multiples in $H^2(Q,M)$
are isomorphic.
\end{cor}

\section{Automorphisms of extensions}\label{sec:ae}

Fix an extension
\begin{equation}\label{ext}
 \bm{e}: \qquad 0\to M \stackrel{\iota}{\longrightarrow}E \to Q \to 1
\end{equation}
with abelian kernel $M$. Let $\mathcal{C}:Q\to \operatorname{Aut}(M)$ be the induced representation and
let $\overline{\varphi}\in H^2(Q,M)$ be the element that corresponds to $\bm{e}$.
We assume that $\mathcal{C}$ is faithful.
In particular, $Q\cong \mathcal{C}(Q)$ and the conjugation of $\mathcal{C}(Q)$ by any $\mu\in N_{\operatorname{Aut}(M)}(\mathcal{C}(Q))$
induces an element $\mu'\in \operatorname{Aut}(Q)$, i.\,e. $\mathcal{C}(g)^\mu=\mathcal{C}(g\mu')$ for
all $g\in Q$.
One defines an action of $N_{\operatorname{Aut}(M)}(\mathcal{C}(Q))$ on $H^2(Q,M)$ given by
\begin{equation}\label{act}
\overline{\psi}\mapsto(\mu')^{-1}\overline{\psi}\mu
\end{equation}
for every $\mu \in N_{\operatorname{Aut}(M)}(\mathcal{C}(Q))$ and $\overline{\psi}\in H^2(Q,M)$,
which should be understood modulo $B^2(Q,M)$ for representative cocycles, see \cite{82Rob} for details.
We denote by
$N_{\operatorname{Aut}(M)}^{\,\overline{\varphi}}(\mathcal{C}(Q))$ the stabiliser of
$\overline{\varphi}$ with respect to this action.
Let $\operatorname{Aut}(\bm{e})$ denote
the group of those automorphisms of $E$ that leave $M\iota$ invariant as a set.

\begin{prop}\cite[Statements (4.4),(4.5)]{82Rob}\label{Rob}
Let the extension $(\ref{ext})$ have an abelian kernel $M$ and let it
determine an element $\overline{\varphi}\in H^2(Q,M)$
and an injective induced representation $\mathcal{C}:Q\to \operatorname{Aut}(M)$.
Then there exists a short exact sequence of groups
\begin{equation}\label{ZAN}
0\to Z^1(Q,M)\to \operatorname{Aut}(\bm{e})\to N_{\operatorname{Aut}(M)}^{\,\overline{\varphi}}(\mathcal{C}(Q))\to 1.
\end{equation}
\end{prop}

\noindent
{\em Remark.} It is easy to see that, in the notation above, there is an embedding $N_{\operatorname{Aut}(M)}(\mathcal{C}(Q))\to \operatorname{Comp}(Q,M)$, $\mu\mapsto (\mu',\mu)$, where
we view $M$ as a $\mathbb{Z}Q$-module, under which action (\ref{act}) becomes a particular case of (\ref{cact}), and that this embedding is in fact an isomorphism in case $\mathcal{C}$ is faithful (which we assume).

\section{Cohomology of $PSL_2(q)$ in characteristic dividing~$q-1$}

The aim of this section is to classify up to group isomorphism nonsplit ex\-ten\-sions~(\ref{g}),
where $L=\operatorname{PSL}_2(q)$, $V$ is an elementary abelian $p$-group with irreducible induced action of $L$,
and $p\ne 2$ is a divisor of $q-1$.

By Lemma \ref{lgag}, $V$ must belong to the the principal $p$-block of $L$. This block
contains only one nonprincipal module with Brauer character $\chi$, see \cite{76Bur}.
The values of characters in the principal block are shown in Table \ref{bt}.

\begin{table}[htb]
\centering
\caption{Brauer $p$-modular characters of $L=PSL_2(q)$ in the principal block, where $2\ne p\mid(q-1)$.
Notation:  $q=l^m$, $l$ prime, $d=(2,q-1)$,
$x,y\in L$, $|x|=\frac{1}{d}(q-1)_{p'}$, $|y|=\frac{1}{d}(q+1)$.\label{bt}}
\begin{tabular}{c|rrrrrr}
            $q$ odd                &  $1a$      & $2a$                    & $la$ & $lb$ & $(x^r)^L$ & $(y^t)^L$  \\
     \hline
    $1_L^{\vphantom{A^A}}$    & $1$      & $ 1$    &  $1$  &  $1$ & $1$ & $1$ \\
    $\chi$                    & $q $     & $-1$    &  $0$    & $0$ & $1$  &  $-1$
\end{tabular}
\qquad
\begin{tabular}{c|rrrr}
            $q$ even                &  $1a$      & $2a$   & $(x^r)^L$ & $(y^t)^L$  \\
     \hline
    $1_L^{\vphantom{A^A}}$    & $1$      & $ 1$    & $1$ & $1$ \\
    $\chi$                    & $q $     & $0$     & $1$  &  $-1$
\end{tabular}
\end{table}

We first note that $V$ is not the principal module. Indeed, extension (\ref{g}) would otherwise be central,
but $\operatorname{Sch}(L)$ has no $p$-torsion, because
\begin{equation}\label{Sch}
\operatorname{Sch}(L)=\left\{
             \begin{array}{rl}
               \mathbb{Z}_2, & q\ne 9\  \text{odd or}\ q=4;\\
               \mathbb{Z}_6, & q=9;\\
               1, & q\ne 4 \ \text{even}
             \end{array}
           \right.
\end{equation}
as follows from \cite{85Atlas}. Therefore, $V$ must be the
$\mathbb{F}_pL$-module with character $\chi$.

We can now prove Theorem \ref{2coh} stated in the introduction.

\begin{proof} Let $P$ be the permutation $\mathbb{F}_pL$-module of dimension $q+1$ that
corresponds to the natural permutation action of $L$ on the projective line over $\mathbb{F}_q$.
We have $P=I_L\oplus V$, where $I_L$ is
the principal $\mathbb{F}_pL$-module. This can be deduced either by
considering the Brauer character $\chi$ of $V$ or from \cite[Table 1]{78Mor}. In particular,
by Lemma \ref{esum}, we have
\begin{equation}\label{hadd}
H^i(L,P)\cong H^i(L,I_L) \oplus H^i(L,V)
    \end{equation}
for $i=1,2$, since $H^i(L,B)\cong \operatorname{Ext}^i_{\mathbb{F}_pL}(\mathbb{F}_p,B)$
for every $\mathbb{F}_pL$-module $B$, see \cite[Exercise 6.1.2]{94Wei}.
Since $P$ is a permutation module, we have $P\cong (I_H)^L$, where $I_H$ is the principal
$\mathbb{F}_pH$-module for a point stabiliser $H\leqslant L$. Hence, Lemma \ref{shap} implies
\begin{equation}\label{shs}
H^i(L,P)\cong H^i(H,I_H)
\end{equation}
for $i=1,2$. By Lemma \ref{coh1}$(i)$, we have
\begin{equation}\label{h1l}
H^1(L,I_L)\cong \operatorname{Hom}(L/L',I_L)=0,
\end{equation}
since $L=L'$. Also,
\begin{equation}\label{h1h}
H^1(H,I_H)\cong \operatorname{Hom}(H/H',I_H)\cong \mathbb{F}_p,
\end{equation}
since $I_H\cong \mathbb{F}_p$, $H\cong \mathbb{F}_q \leftthreetimes \mathbb{Z}_{(q-1)/(2,q-1)}$, and $p\mid (q-1)$. By Lemma \ref{ucoe}, we have
$$
H^2(L,I_L)\cong \operatorname{Hom}(H_2(L,\mathbb{Z}),I_L)\oplus \operatorname{Ext}(H_1(L,\mathbb{Z}),I_L),
$$
where the first summand vanishes, since $H_2(L,\mathbb{Z})\cong \operatorname{Sch}(L)$ has no $p$-torsion by~(\ref{Sch}), and the second summand vanishes by Lemma \ref{coh1}$(ii)$, since $L/L'=1$. Thus
\begin{equation}\label{h2lil}
H^2(L,I_L)=0.
\end{equation}
Finally, Lemma \ref{ucoe} also yields
\begin{equation}\label{h2hihe}
H^2(H,I_H)\cong \operatorname{Hom}(H_2(H,\mathbb{Z}),I_H)\oplus \operatorname{Ext}(H_1(H,\mathbb{Z}),I_H).
\end{equation}
By Lemma \ref{tim}, the $p$-part of $H_2(H,\mathbb{Z})\cong \operatorname{Sch}(H)$ is isomorphic to a subgroup of $\operatorname{Sch}(S)$ for a $p$-Sylow subgroup $S$ of $H$. However, $S$ is cyclic and
cyclic groups have trivial Schur multiplier. Thus, the first summand in (\ref{h2hihe}) vanishes, because $I_H\cong \mathbb{F}_p$. Since $H_1(H,\mathbb{Z})\cong H/H'\cong \mathbb{Z}_{(q-1)/d}$ and
$\operatorname{Ext}(\mathbb{Z}_{(q-1)/d},\mathbb{F}_p)\cong \mathbb{F}_p$ by Lemma \ref{ezmn}, we have
\begin{equation}\label{h2hih}
H^2(H,I_H)\cong \mathbb{F}_p.
\end{equation}
The claim follows by combining (\ref{hadd}) through (\ref{h2hih}).
\end{proof}

We can now prove Theorem \ref{nonsplit} stated in the introduction.

\begin{proof} As we explained in the beginning of this section, $V$ viewed as an $\mathbb{F}_pL$-module
must be the unique nonprincipal module in the principal $p$-block of $L$. This module has dimension $q$
and can be written over $\mathbb{F}_p$, since it is a direct summand of a permutation module. Therefore,
$|V|=p^q$. By Theorem \ref{2coh}, we have $H^2(V,L)\cong \mathbb{F}_p$ and so all nonzero elements of
$H^2(V,L)$ are scalar multiples of one another. By Corollary \ref{h2scal}, they correspond to isomorphic nonsplit extensions. The claim follows.
\end{proof}

\section{The automorphism group}

In this section, we prove that the structure of the automorphism group of the unique nonsplit
extension from Theorem \ref{nonsplit} is as stated in Theorem \ref{aut}.

\begin{proof}
Consider the extension $\bm{e}$ given by (\ref{g}).  Theorem \ref{nonsplit} implies that
$G$ is unique up to isomorphism and $V$ has order $p^q$. Moreover, viewed as an $\mathbb{F}_p L$-module, $V$ has Brauer character $\chi$ from Table \ref{bt}.
By Proposition \ref{Rob}, we have the short exact sequence
\begin{equation}\label{ZAN1}
0\to Z^1(L,V)\to \operatorname{Aut}(\bm{e})\to N_{\operatorname{Aut}(V)}^{\,\overline{\varphi}}(\mathcal{X}(L))\to 1,
\end{equation}
where the representation $\mathcal{X}:L\to \operatorname{Aut}(V)$
and the element $\overline{\varphi}\in H^2(L,V)$ are determined by
(\ref{g}). First, note that $\operatorname{Aut}(\bm{e})=\operatorname{Aut}(G)$ as $V$ is characteristic in~$G$. Denote $W=Z^1(L,V)$. Since $B^1(L,V)\cong V/C_V(L)$ and $L$ acts on $V$ irreducibly and nontrivially, we have $C_V(L)=0$ and $B^1(L,V)\cong V$. Now, since $H^1(L,V)=Z^1(L,V)/B^1(L,V)$, we have
$|Z^1(L,V)|=p^{q+1}$ in view of Theorem \ref{2coh}.

Denote $N=N_{\operatorname{GL}(V)}(\mathcal{X}(L))$ and $Z=C_{\operatorname{GL}(V)}(\mathcal{X}(L))$.
By Proposition \ref{normim}, we have $N/Z\cong I_{\operatorname{Aut}(L)}(\chi)$.
Since $\chi$ is the only irreducible character of $L$ of dimension~$q$,
it must be invariant under any automorphism; in particular,
$I_{\operatorname{Aut}(L)}(\chi)=\operatorname{Aut}(L)$.
By \cite{85Atlas},  $\operatorname{Aut}(L)\cong P\Gamma L_2(q)$.
Since $V$ is absolutely irreducible as an $\mathbb{F}_pL$-module, by Schur's lemma, we see that
$Z\cong \mathbb{F}_p^\times\cong \mathbb{Z}_{p-1}$ consists of scalars.

In order to determine the structure of the stabiliser $N_0=N_{\operatorname{Aut}(V)}^{\,\overline{\varphi}}(\mathcal{X}(L))$,
we consider the action of $N$ on $H^2(L,V)$ as explained in Section \ref{sec:ae}. Let $H^\times$ denote the set
of $p-1$ nonzero elements of $H^2(L,V)$. The elements of $H^\times$ correspond to nonsplit extensions and so we have an action
homomorphism $\alpha: N\to \operatorname{Sym}(H^\times)$ to the symmetric group on $H^\times$.
Since all nonsplit extension of $V$ by $L$
are isomorphic by Theorem~\ref{nonsplit}, we may assume that $\overline{\varphi}$ is an arbitrary element of $H^\times$.
The subgroup $Z\leqslant N$ acts on $H^\times$ by
scalar multiplication, cf. Corollary \ref{h2scal}, and so the image $\alpha(Z)$ is a cyclic subgroup
of $\operatorname{Sym}(H^\times)$ generated by a full cycle of length $p-1$.
Since $Z$ is central in $N$, $\alpha(N)$ must centralise $\alpha(Z)$. However, a full cyclic subgroup is self-centralising in
$\operatorname{Sym}(H^\times)$ and so $\alpha(Z)$ must be the entire image $\alpha(N)$. Thus, $\operatorname{Ker}(\alpha)$ is a normal
subgroup of $N$ of index $p-1$ which intersects trivially with $Z$ and is thus isomorphic to $N/Z\cong P\Gamma L_2(q)$.
Furthermore, $\operatorname{Ker}(\alpha)$ coincides with the stabiliser of every element of $H^\times$ which yields
$N=N_0\times Z$ and $N_0\cong P\Gamma L_2(q)$ as claimed.
\end{proof}

It also follows from this proof that the representation $\mathcal{X}:L\to \operatorname{Aut}(V)$
with character $\chi$ extends to a representation of $I_{\operatorname{Aut}(L)}(\chi)\cong P\Gamma L_2(q)$. This fact does
not hold in general for a simple group $L$ and its irreducible character $\chi$, see \cite[Example 1]{21RevZav}.

France coach Deschamps signs new contract until end of 2022
France coach Didier Deschamps has extended his contract until 2022, giving him a chance to defend the World Cup title.Since taking charge after the 2012 European Championship the former France captain has guided Les Bleus to the Euro 2016 final on home soil before winning the World Cup in Russia last year.

PARIS — France coach Didier Deschamps has extended his contract until 2022, giving him a chance to defend the World Cup title.
Since taking charge after the 2012 European Championship the former France captain has guided Les Bleus to the Euro 2016 final on home soil before winning the World Cup in Russia last year.
That made him one of only three coaches in soccer history to have won the World Cup as both a player and a coach, along with Mario Zagallo (Brazil) and Franz Beckenbauer (West Germany).
"I'm proud and honoured to be the France coach. You know the attachment I still have for what this jersey represents," Deschamps said Tuesday. "We are world champions (and) you are judged on your results. If France has not had good since results since 2012, I wouldn't be sitting here now."
Deschamps has formed a close relationship with French Football Federation president Noël Le Gräet, and they recently celebrated his national record-extending 100th game in charge. He has the highest number of wins (65) of any France coach, ahead of Michel Hidalgo and Raymond Domenech (tied on 41).
"It seems important for French football that Didier Deschamps stays in charge of the national team until December 31, 2022, in other words until the end of the World Cup in Qatar," Le Gräet said Tuesday. "Furthermore, there is no arguing with his results (so) it's a very logical decision."
France will again be among the favourites at Euro 2020, with Le Gräet setting Deschamps the usual target of reaching at least the semifinals.
"Our team is among the best in the world today, second in the FIFA rankings," Le Gräet said. "It wouldn't be very serious not to have high expectations."
Deschamps is also unique in having both played for and coached France at least 100 times, making 103 international appearances as a gritty but technically assured central midfielder with outstanding leadership and organizational skills. Since replacing former France teammate Laurent Blanc after Euro 2012, he has taken those same qualities into his coaching.
But his new contract is unlikely to be good news for Karim Benzema, the Real Madrid striker who remains sidelined since falling out of favour with Deschamps four years ago in a bitter fallout following Benzema's alleged involvement in a sex-tape scandal.
Deschamps has shown both great loyalty and a ruthless streak, in keeping his faith in striker Olivier Giroud — despite Giroud being left out of the Chelsea side this season — and maintaining his hardliner position in overlooking Benzema despite his outstanding performances for Madrid.
"I'm happy in my job," Deschamps said. "I have the best French players with a remarkable team spirit. There are many great things still to be done."

Q: Who should write tests? Is it better if one person is responsible for writing tests and another for fulfilling them or should the coder and test writer be the same person, ideally?

A: With TDD the developing unit (read a programmer or pair) should write the tests.
TDD (Test driven development) -unit tests are typically at a technical level. The developing unit should write them as they come to implement the class. The issue you may run into if others write the tests is that the external force will influence the design. TDD works well when the developers are doing the design.
With BDD/ATDD the QA/PO should be involved.
BDD(Behaviour driven development) and ATDD(Acceptance test driven development) tests are typically written at a less granular level. The better tests are written with the stakeholder in mind. So the better people to write these are QAs (Quality Assurance), POs(Product Owners) or BAs (Business Analysts). That's not to say a developer cannot write them you just need to step into that role.
The beauty of working in pairs is that if your pair writes the tests, there is an automatic sanity check of the tests as they are written.

A: Unit testing is something you do as you're writing code. This testing is testing your view how things should work (on the level of class/method/algorithm) and it supports you when developing as you can run through the tests before and after making changes to see that things are still according to the tests you have in place. See this as something that will aid the programmer as he/she works. Further, the tests will also provide a way to see how something is supposed to work for anyone looking at the code. TDD (Test-Driven Development) is not changing this concept, rather highlighting that the one coding needs to first think how it should work and what to expect.
If there is a problem with not seeing own problems one can try pair-programming, code reviews or other ways to look at things with more eyes and brains. Still I strongly believe unit testing is a tool for the programmer and not something done by anyone else.
Coming to other types of testing, like integration testing, functional testing or even (system) performance testing, it might be good to have other people doing this. Especially if you want to automate this testing it requires you to know how to do things and also maybe a higher level of business knowledge on what to test and how.
The answer to your question also depends on the culture and how your organization works, however, I believe you in all cases want to do unit testing as part of developing code. If this results in problems, there might be something else which is broken in the organization or something which needs to be looked at.
Update
Here are a few things I've seen in organizations which affect unit testing practices:

*

*some people might not want to write unit tests;

*some people might not know how to write good unit tests, which can undermine the benefits of doing it and that might be used as a "proof" that unit testing is bad;

*the organization might not bring people to work together, rather have distinct responsibilities such as coders code, testers test etc., which might force unit testing on someone;

*some people might be hired to write unit tests, so if this role is not changed it contradicts writing unit tests as you code;

*there might be a very small organization which can mean implicitly that everyone does a bit of everything;

*the organization as a whole does not acknowledge the benefits of unit testing, but rather code-as-quick-as-possible-and-deal-with-problems-later,

*who is driving the effort to do unit testing? Is it one person? Developers? Management?

*is the organization free to decide itself who does unit testing?

If there is an agreement to have unit testing, the above things might be issues to deal with in order to bring the organization into a state where things just work out naturally. If you have people with good unit testing practices and experience, let them lead things to bring the rest of the team to see the magic of unit testing.
Personally, I believe that if people see the benefits of unit testing, can write good unit tests, automate them with builds, and if the team can decide themselves how to organize how to get the unit tests written it will all fall naturally into place so that developers write unit tests while developing code, anyone can at any point add more unit tests for any code they're looking at. If there are testers, they would focus on other types of testing like functional testing or exploratory testing.

A: This question will invite many different answers, some based on how organisations work, some based on qualifications for planning and testing. There are many different ways to organise testing, especially since organisation sizes differ and may or may not have resources to hire different teams.
There are different types of testing:

*

*Unit Testing

*Integration Testing

*Functional Testing

*Non-Functional Testing - stress, penetration and many other types

*User Acceptance Testing

In my experience:
Unit testing (atoms of functionality in isolation e.g. a single controller action) and  Integration testing (those atoms working together e.g. a controller working with the domain tier objects, domain tier objects working with data tier objects,) should be done by the developer.
Functional testing (system functions as the spec states) should be done by a separate QA team.
Non-Functional testing can be done by a QA team or architect/tech lead.
UAT (system is fit for purpose) should be done by the client.
The reasoning behind this is, as automated Unit and Integration testing are white box (you can see inside the application e.g. the code), they will need to be completed by a developer (not neccessarily the developer responsible for the code under test).
Functional testing and UAT are black box (you can't see inside the application) so are more likely to be done by someone non-technical, but skilled in test analysis.
Non-functional testing can be either black or white box depending on what's under test and the overall strategy.
It's important to note that more defects are found by testing another's work than testing your own.
The tester will think differently and so look for/try things that would not have been accounted for during development, and people are naturally protective of their code (no matter how hard one tries to be objective).
If there isn't a seperate test team, it's good to have developers test each others' code.
To answer your question a bit more, when I was a tester I was responsible for test analysis (deciding what functional tests were required to test the specs) and writing test scripts and manually executing them tests. Once those scripts were written, any tester could execute them, but it was important that the test analysis was done separately to the developer's work on the application.

A: An informal policy in my development team is

Everyone does everything.

That is, there are no Testers, Programmers or Architects. Everyone is expected to do a bit of all the activities.
This is to avoid a waterfall process. If an activity is the sole preserve of one person, development can become sequentialized, with people handling work down the line and being unaware of the full consequences of the decisions they take.
This does not mean everyone works on every task simultaneously. It means each person works on each kind of task at some point in time

First Transgender Say Yes to the Dress Bride Just Wants to Show "Trans People Can Love, and Be Loved"
"It's been a long journey to get to this point."
By Hannah Smothers
In a historic move for the long-running wedding show, Say Yes to the Dress, a transgender bride will be featured trying on stacks of dresses at Kleinfeld's in preparation for her big day.
While a transgender bride was previously featured on Say Yes to the Dress: Atlanta, 33-year-old Gabrielle Gibson's appearance marks the first transgender bride on the original Say Yes series. "This whole wedding, and getting engaged, and dress shopping with my mom — it's been such an amazing feeling for me, because as a trans woman I never thought that I would ever get married," Gibson told People.
Gibson made the appointment for Kleinfeld's after her fiancé Jaden, a transgender man, proposed. She found out they were seeking new brides for the show and a week after submitting her application, received word she was in. She brought a small crew of friends and her mom, Frances Colon-Gibson, to the appointment.
"Seeing her say over all these years, 'Oh mom, I'm never going to find anyone, I'm never going to get married,' and with how people have treated her..." Colon-Gibson said in a clip from the show. "I've seen her cry so much, and it's been a long journey to get to this point."
Gibson's hope is that her appearance on the show will be a help to the transgender community, if only by increasing visibility and showing that "trans people can love, and be loved, in a normal setting, and do things that are not out of the norm." Like trying on wedding dresses and getting excited for a big, special day, for example.
Gibson's episode airs Saturday, March 25.

Home /Nexa
Product Design & Research
Mainly PWA
Some shots: one and two.
Brazil 🇧🇷
Company context
Nexa was a company part of Dasa's tech arm. Dasa is a huge health conglomerate in South America, owning some of the biggest clinical diagnostic laboratories in the continent. The company was founded many years ago by a man that ended up becoming one of Brazil's richest people. It sounds like it comes straight out of a movie, though: he, unfortunately, died in 2017 and left the company to his young son (not Kendall Roy though) to manage. As a considerably old-minded company, one of the first things Pedro-the founder's son-wanted to do was to employ technology as a defining piece of the company's operation. Nexa was then created by him with the general goal of thinking about ways to use tech to expand and consolidate even more Dasa's leadership in the healthcare industry.
My journey there
A couple of close friends from iFood joined Nexa and they ended up inviting me to be a part of it as well. I have always been interested in all things healthcare, such as organic food and vegetarianism, and I wanted to experiment with something different from what I had been doing so far. Everything was different: market segment, company configuration, size of the team, etc. When I joined, Nexa was about 25 to 30 people and had nothing more than a working prototype of a potential product. This product consisted in enabling much more efficient access to lab exam results. Dasa owns most of the clinical analysis labs in Brazil and they weren't at all connected with each other, in a data sense. But... they could be, they're all within the same umbrella, after all. That product was called Livia and it was meant to do just that: connect everything into one source.
At some point, we realized that the most valuable thing we had was hundreds and hundreds of health data points. We started thinking about what we could do with it, and what use case and persona we should optimize for. Nexa had a consultant doctor at that point and he kinda made us lean towards developing a product to guide doctors in examining lab results, convincing us that it was a major problem. We needed something to start with anyway because we knew the potential we had at hand.
Right before I joined, they hired a Head of Design who quite quickly managed to form a team of 6 or 7 designers. It's very unusual to see a small company with a relatively large team of designers. So, with many of us on board, there was plenty of workforces to work around concepts, possibilities, and explorations for proving that Nexa was worthwhile to the whole Dasa group.
I wasn't responsible for the bulk of Livia's work but I helped design the concepts of what it could be. To say the least, I definitely sharpened my prototyping skills while doing Livia!
Livia Pro
As Livia already was the name of the product aimed towards patients, as a sign of genuine creativity, we used the same name but with an added Pro for the product targeted at doctors. We managed to pull off an actual MVP, tested with a few close doctors and explored future roads.
Nexa was for sure the company I stayed the least in my career, which wasn't something intended. However, I'm always privileged to be able to make great and strong connections with people and gladly I left with a handful of friends. It was, all in all, a very confusing experience. While I learned a lot, especially about communication, working under a huge corporation such as Dasa is just messy. It wasn't, at least then, a tech-oriented company, so we had to fight too many hard battles which made the overall work quite stressing.
I love the health topic though and I still believe there's so much technology can unlock for better general health care. There are so many simple things that can make huge improvements at how people take care of themselves and that is what ultimately interests me the most, despite all of the machine learning and related possible innovations. While at Nexa, I got to chat with a lot of doctors and definitely learned a lot from them. I also got to work with a very strong product and design team which made me for sure better.
In the end, Nexa was "acquired" by Dasa and the whole team moved there. I learned a lot, met a bunch of cool folks, played with some pretty advanced tech and I hope to see brazilian health care changing for the better and the Dasa team as protagonists of that.

Millerites
Millerites were disciples of William Miller. Miller, a farmer from New York, claimed to have discovered when Jesus Christ would return to Earth as stated in the Bible. Miller reached this belief in the 1820s but did not begin to share it with other people until the 1830s. By the early 1840s, approximately one million people had attended camp meetings and heard Miller's message. Perhaps ten percent of those people actually believed Miller.
Miller predicted that Christ's second coming would occur in April 1843 and that all worthy people would ascend to heaven on October 23, 1844. Thousands of people across the United States, including in Ohio, eagerly anticipated the event. Numerous people forsook their original religious beliefs and adopted Millerism, hoping that Jesus Christ would find no fault with them upon his return to Earth. Millerites consisted of all types of people. Many working-class people hoped that Christ's arrival would end their laborious lives. Other Americans believed that many people were sinners and that only the true believers, the Millerites, would escape punishment. God wanted the deserving to assist their unworthy neighbors through various reform movements, such as the temperance and abolition movements. Other people believed that citizens of the United States were God's chosen people and that Jesus Christ's arrival would prove this point.
As October 23, 1844 approached, some Millerites went so far as to sell their earthly possessions in preparation for the second coming of Christ. Many sources claim that the Millerites, dressed in white robes, climbed the highest mountains and hills that they could find so that they would be closer to heaven. Unfortunately for these people, they did not ascend to heaven on the appointed day. Miller claimed to have made an error and quickly issued a new date for the second coming, approximately six months later. Once again, this day came and went. In most cases, Miller's followers abandoned him. In 1845, some of Miller's followers joined the Adventist Church, which Miller helped establish. Adventists believe in the second coming of Christ, but they do not specify a day when this event will occur.

Karting (2009)
Born in Ufa, Bashkortostan, Russia, Kvyat was an active kart racer in Russia and Italy. In 2009, he finished third in the KF3 European Championship category and finished as runner-up in the WSK International Series.
Formula BMW (2010)
Kvyat during Race 1 of the 2010 Formula BMW Pacific season at Sepang International Circuit
Kvyat started his formula racing career during the 2010 Formula BMW Pacific season with EuroInternational at the Sepang International Circuit. In his first race he started from sixth place, but finished only nineteenth.[2] He finished fifth in the second race. During the season, he joined the Red Bull Junior Team and made his debut in Formula BMW Europe with the same team.[3] He finished in tenth position in the final championship standings, with a second-place finish at Monza.
Toyota Racing Series (2011)
Kvyat contested New Zealand's Toyota Racing Series in January and February 2011 with Victory Motor Racing, finishing fifth in the championship with a win in the Dan Higgins Trophy at Manfeild and another five podiums.[4]
Formula Renault (2010–2012)
After two races with Koiranen Bros. Motorsport in 2010, in the Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0 finale at Barcelona and a fourth-place finish in the Formula Renault UK Winter Series, Kvyat, and his Formula BMW and Red Bull Junior teammate Carlos Sainz Jr., joined Koiranen for full 2011 seasons in both the Eurocup and the Formula Renault 2.0 Northern European Cup. He finished as runner-up behind Sainz, Jr. in the Northern European Cup standings with seven wins, including a hat-trick of wins at Monza. In the Eurocup he was outpaced by former Formula BMW rival Robin Frijns and Sainz, scoring two wins at Spa and the Nürburgring.
For 2012, Kvyat remained in the Formula Renault category, competing in both Formula Renault 2.0 Alps and the Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0 series. His debut in the Alps championship was marked with a dominating double win at Monza.[5] In May he returned to the Eurocup, and recorded a double win in the opening round of the season at Motorland Aragón.[6] He ultimately clinched the Alps title and finished as runner-up in the Eurocup, following a dramatic season finale at Catalunya. He was leading the race in heavy rain, but his tyres lost all grip during the final laps, and he missed the title by 10 points. Kvyat remained with the Red Bull Junior Team and progressed to the GP3 Series for 2013.
GP3 and European Formula 3 (2013)
File:GP3-Belgium-2013-Sprint Race-Daniil Kvyat.jpg
Kvyat competing for MW Arden during the 2013 GP3 Series season, at Spa-Francorchamps. He took the first of three victories during the 2013 season at Spa-Francorchamps, en route to the championship title.
Kvyat spent 2013 competing in the GP3 Series with MW Arden and the European Formula 3 championship with Carlin Motorsport. Kvyat was a late registration for the latter series, and so he was ineligible for points. He scored five pole positions, seven podiums and a dominant win at Zandvoort. His first win saw an unusual mistake on the part of event organisers: there was no record of National Anthem of Russia present at Zandvoort, and "The Patriotic Song" by Mikhail Glinka was played instead to celebrate Kvyat's win.[7]
His progress in GP3 was rapid as well. Kvyat started the season poorly but immediately recovered, scoring his first podium in his fifth feature race. Following two wins in next two feature races, he went into the Abu Dhabi event being a title contender and finally won the championship in his debut year. His performance in two final feature races at Monza and Abu Dhabi was notable: Kvyat scored a pole, a win, led every lap and recorded the fastest lap, gaining the maximum points available at both races.
Toro Rosso (2013–2014)
File:Daniil Kvyat 2014 China Race.jpg
Kvyat at the 2014 Chinese Grand Prix
In October 2013, Kvyat was announced as the second driver of the Scuderia Toro Rosso (STR) Formula One team for the 2014 season, alongside Frenchman Jean-Éric Vergne.[8] He replaced Daniel Ricciardo, who moved to parent team Red Bull Racing.[9] As a test driver for STR, he took part in Friday practice for the final two Grands Prix of the 2013 season, in the United States and Brazil.[10] Kvyat made his F1 debut—aged 19—in the 2014 Australian Grand Prix, where he finished 9th, breaking Sebastian Vettel's record as the youngest points-scorer in Formula One.[11] He went on to score points in the Malaysian, Chinese, British and Belgian Grands Prix,[12] finishing 15th in the World Championship. In September the organisers of the inaugural Russian Grand Prix announced their intention of naming a stand in the Sochi Autodrom after him.[12]
In October 2014 it was announced that Kvyat would be promoted to Red Bull for the 2015 season, to replace the quadruple world champion Sebastian Vettel.[13]
Red Bull (2015–)
File:Daniil Kvyat 070615.jpg
Kvyat at the 2015 Canadian Grand Prix
Kvyat raced for Red Bull for the 2015 season, alongside Daniel Ricciardo, after being promoted following the departure of four-time World Champion Sebastian Vettel to Ferrari.[14] He took his first podium in the sport with a second-place finish at the Hungarian Grand Prix, the highest F1 finish for a Russian driver, and became the second youngest podium finisher in F1 history. In qualifying for the Japanese Grand Prix, he had a huge crash at 200R, having wheelspin on the entry and flipping the car against the barriers.
Kvyat currently lives with his family in Rome, Italy. In addition to his native Russian, he is also fluent in Italian, Spanish, and English.[15]
Rules introduced for the 2014 Formula One season allowed the drivers to pick their own racing numbers that they will carry with them for the rest of their careers. When asked about which number he wanted, Kvyat revealed that 26 was the number he had chosen as he had no previous connection to it, and that he wanted to make it successful.[16]
Kvyat's hobbies include table tennis, football, wakeboarding and skiing.[17]
Kvyat is one of the few drivers in motor racing to have an FIA Super Licence, but not a regular driving licence in his native Russia.[18]

Actually, less than 10% of the vehicles listed on eBay actually sell. A selected few dealers sell at 80 to 100% of their online car sales.
Who are the auto dealers that are selling effectively on eBay? Is there a secret to their success?

"Who's Suzie?" My wife Katrina had been acting strangely ever since I had returned home from my Native American cultural class, not to mention the weird phone call I received just before I left, full of little pauses instead of our usual fast-paced communication. Now that I was home she had been pretty much ignoring me completely, then comes this strange question.
Due in part to the popularity of the U. S.
For just a moment, try to comprehend the power of the Internet. Every day, there are millions of people from around the globe "surfing the web.
If you were to look through eBay, or any other online auction site for that matter, you would find that many people make some very basic mistakes. And, they repeat these mistakes over and over again.
The worlds online market place. In just a few short years eBay has become a household name and millions of people are registered users benefiting from the enormous variety of auctions listed every day.
Most people do not succeed on the internet because they are selling products no one desperately wants. If you want to be truly successful sell only things that people really really really want to buy! Sounds simple? It is.
Attract eBay Buyers Like Crazy!
As an eBay (TM) seller it happens very often (too often) that listings close without any bids. Did this happen to you? Many sellers are frustrated and quit their eBay (TM) business.
Many new eBay sellers make one of two mistakes: either they overprice items to an un-sellable extreme; or they lose money on every transaction by setting low starting prices with no restrictions. In this lesson, I am going to go over which pricing strategies to use and when if you are using a ten-day auction setup.

Medical Mentions Book Reviews I
Jan. 5, 2021 by Kevin Wolf
Medical Mentions is a new type of posting at graphicmedicine.org. The graphic works reviewed here are books whose primary topics are not medical, and yet they cover a medical topic with some depth at some point in the work. The rest of the work might be fictional or nonfictional, while the medical portion is often technical and five pages or more. The reviewer will usually neither recommend nor discourage reading the work, except when the rest of the work is deemed outstanding or terrible, respectively. Typically, six graphic works will be provided with one paragraph for each. With that in mind here's Medical Mentions I:
Review by Kevin Wolf
Sky Is Blue with a Single Cloud by Kuniko Tsurita; translated by Ryan Holmberg, isbn: 978-177046398, © July 2020; Drawn & Quarterly (www.drawnandquarterly.com); Manga; paperback; 384 pages
The manga, Kuniko Tsurita's The Sky Is Blue with a Single Cloud, is the first English translation of many (eighteen) of her short stories. There's a lengthy essay ("The Life and Art of Kuniko Tsurita") by Mitsuhiro Asakawa and the book's editor and translator, Ryan Holmberg, provided at the very back—the front for English readers—of the manga. The essay states, "In fact, Tsurita may very well be the earliest female cartoonist anywhere in the world who succeeded in producing comics—sometimes about women, sometimes about her personal life, but sometimes neither—without being hemmed in by the commercial demands or gender-based genre conventions and stylistic strictures of mainstream publishing." Her comics were published from 1965 (age 18) in Garo, a Japanese alternative comics magazine founded in 1964, until about 1981. In March 1973, she was diagnosed with Lupus—an autoimmune disease that causes one's own immune system to attack healthy tissue—and died June 14, 1985 at 37. There's very little online information about Tsurita (e.g., there's no Wikipedia page for her). Her work is gender-fluid (e.g., most characters have no gender identification nor orientation), filled with non-sequiturs, surrealistic, dark to bleak, and opaque. The Sky Is Blue with a Single Cloud has very little overtly medical content. Published about eighteen months after her diagnosis, only one story (Yuko's Days) addresses medical issues, while from her diagnosis onward the last nine stories dwell on death. The title story (233-242), post the Lupus diagnosis shows with very few words a seemingly optimistic character riding a motorcycle toward a single cloud in the shape of a mushroom. For me, this brings to mind the film Ordinary People where Dinah Manoff (playing Karen) telling Timothy Hutton (Conrad) to have the best year ever, only to later learn (spoiler) she takes her own life. In Tsurita's third story after her Lupus diagnosis, "Yuko's Days" (215-232), a hospital appears like a prison, dungeon-like with many people on the same ward. Yuko's words over many panels and several pages include: "It's intolerable … How can they even call this a hospital room? The manic laughter, visitors being thoughtless and noisy, … and this sour smell … [clock or steps "tok"ing] the fear that I may never get out of here haunts me … Lupus erythematosus [causing scaly red patches on skin, especially face] … gamma globulin … white blood cells … L.E. antibodies … non-self-antigens …" To the patient it's a foreign planet which leads to the patient dreaming about more understandable things … a tornado, garden, fabric, her youth mirrored by her sudden elder self; showing the shortness of time left. Finally, depression reduced by looking out from the hospital roof to an expansive horizon. In the U.S about 1.5 million people are diagnosed with a form Lupus (see Mayo clinic or National Resource Center on Lupus) for some more information, like symptoms, diagnosis and statistics.
Short story The Pregnancy by Julie Wertz in The New Yorker Cartoons of the Year 2016; Bob Mankoff, ed.; includes the vol XCII, no. 37A, November 15, 2016, p125-131; issn: 0028-792x; Condé Nast Publisher.
This short biographical tale covers Julie's best friend, Jen's pregnancy and how it affected Julie's relationship with her. At first Julie doesn't want to become an adult with responsibilities. She's supportive of Jen's needs in her own weird way; like wanting to go hiking with Jen for relaxation and later having trouble building a changing table for the unnamed & not yet born "thing." Julie found she was able to "maintain our prior dynamic and apply it to the new maternal situation" within limits. Julie's simple line drawing is somewhat cartoony and well-matched to her light dialogue and narration. This short piece is very funny. This New Yorker anthology also has two single-panel cartoon sections that emphasize medicine (Just What the Dr. Ordered) and mental health (On the Couch).
Woody Guthrie and the Dust Bowl Ballads by Nick Hayes; isbn 978-1419719455; Abrams ComicArts; March 2016; hardcover; 272 pages; author website: https://www.foghornhayes.com/.
This graphic biography covers Woody Guthrie's life from his teens through 1940 when he composed This Land Is Your Land. The book is not paginated. About two-thirds of the way through the book there's a flashback to his mother, Nora, who was shunned because of seeming mental illness. She was later diagnosed with Huntington's Chorea which, according to this biography, is "a rare degenerative disorder that chewed away at the core of the brain," which caused all of her mental health problems. Her children had a one-in-two chance of inheriting this disease. Woody did so and died in 1967 at age 55. The books woodcut-like drawings with a brown wash are impressive. I found that the lack of dates in the book made some parts of it hard to follow. This graphic work is a good representation of Woody's life and songwriting in Oklahoma during dust bowl days of the Depression in the United States.
Clan Apis's afterward: "Killer Bee," by Jay Hosler; pp 153-158; isbn: 978-1482347456; Active Synapse Production; January 2000; paperback; 160 pages; author's website: http://jayhosler.com/index.html
Clan Apis, from extensive well-documented research by Jay Hosler, provides an excellent presentation of the biology bees. "Killer Bee," in the afterward of Clan Apis, is a hilarious and ironic six-pager of Jay getting bee-stung, finding he's allergic to its venom, and the treatments that follow. He had been stung many times before but instead of brushing off the stinger this time he grabbed it which "will only inject more venom" into himself. This short story is ironic because Jay spends the first 150 pages of his graphic non-fiction work explaining the wonderment of bee life. His black and white drawings are beautiful and naturalistic. Clan Apis provides a lot of information and humor by having the bees speak for themselves. I highly recommend this tale. Clan Apis received a Xeric Award in 1998.
Such a Lovely War: Saigon 1961-63 by Marcelino Truong, English translation from French by David Homel; isbn: 978-1551526478; Arsenal Pulp Press; October 2016; paperback; 272 pages.
Such a Lovely War is a memoir of childhood with historical background to the early days of the United States' involvement in Vietnam after France's military intervention ended. Marcelino ("Marco") was born in 1957. Marco's father, Khánh, was the cultural attaché of South Vietnam to the U.S. who was called back to Vietnam as a close advisor to Prime Minister Ngộ Dinh Diệm. The memoir ends soon after the U.S.-backed coup against Diệm. Marco's mom, Yvette, was a French citizen. The medical mention occurs on pages 135-136, when Marco discusses his mother's bipolar disorder. Marco wrote over two panels, "In Mama's case, isolation and war set off this terrible disorder. It wasn't easy holding back Mama's tidal waves and her sense of being sick of everything. She swung from dejection to vituperation. Fatigue or emotion could send her spiraling toward one or the other." This graphic memoir is finely drawn with water-color washes providing the visuals for the hot tropical climate.
The Drifting Classroom: Volume 3 by Kazuo Umezz, Sheldon Drake translator; ISBN: 978-1974709397; VIZ Media, VIZ Signature Edition; June 2020; 760 pages.
The Drifting Classroom is a horror manga in three massive volumes (about 760 pages each). The horror begins with a grammar school exploding and all that's left is a giant hole in the ground. The volumes cover the children's survival with almost no adult supervision; battling weird creatures, each other—like in Lord of the Flies by William Golding—one adult, and the environment they are thrust into. Time displacement, post-apocalypse earth, and environmental issues are major themes. The medical occurrence is in volume three (chapter 35, 318-364 with many of these pages taken up with fighting off creatures and peers) when one student is diagnosed with appendicitis and operated on to remove his appendix. The diagnosis comes from a precocious student. The operation is very realistic, including the children's roles and how they learned to do it. In all three volumes, we see how the students find their way in this hazardous landscape. Connections by one of the children to his mother back "home" remains strong and, at times, is very helpful. I recommend this very dark series.
That's it for this first round of Medical Mentions. More will follow periodically.

Newcastle reportedly 'agree personal terms' with Manchester City target, Magpies 'prepare' offer for Manchester United ace
SportFootballSunderland AFC
Sunderland's promotion rivals set for managerial change - with ex-Leeds United boss 'lined-up'
Sunderland's promotion rivals Ipswich Town are reportedly set to sack manager Paul Lambert – and replace him with Neil Warnock.
By Mark Donnelly

Updated Thursday, 5th March 2020, 7:49 am
The Tractor Boys were the pre-season favourites for promotion but have endured a torrid run of results since the turn of the year and have slid down the table.
And while they still retain faint hopes of a play-off place, defeat to Fleetwood Town in midweek was another blow to Ipswich's hopes of a return to the Championship.
Indeed, the Daily Mirror claim that Lambert is now set for the sack – with former Leeds United and Cardiff City boss Warnock 'lined-up- as his replacement.
Ipswich Town are set to sack Paul Lambert - according to reports
They claim that the 71-year-old could be appointed in time for Ipswich's game with table-topping Coventry City at Portman Road this weekend.
Lambert only penned a five-year contract in January, but is now seeing his position come under increasing scrutiny.

To make products appealing in today's market, just attach the word "artisanal." It's trendy, foolish, and often disingenuous, but it reflects a genuine public desire for a lost homespun ethos. That world has for the most part disappeared. But the cigars made by the memorable characters of Anna in the Tropics, the Pulitzer Prize-winning play by Nilo Cruz, honestly merit the "artisanal" tag. So does the play, and so does the solid new production by the Gallery Players.
Set during Prohibition, the vivid and deeply literary Anna in the Tropics dramatizes the industrial-age conflict between man and machine that's still upending businesses and families today. A family of Cuban expats living in Tampa, Florida runs a small handmade cigar-rolling operation. Today, in addition to calling the products artisanal, we'd probably apply the word "boutique" to the company. But there's nothing recherché or precious about the cigar-making at the little manufactory owned by Santiago (Peter Tedeschi) and Ofelia (Rebecca Smith).
Their daughters and son-in-law all work for the company, where at first glance things seem pretty happy. We've seen that Santiago is betting on cockfights and borrowing money he can't repay from his half-brother Cheché (Sergio Mauritz Ang), but all of that has the feel of family squabbling, not disaster in the making. Cheché, or Chester, is an outsider from "up north" who has been taking more and more initiative in running the company. He wants desperately to bring the operation into the 20th century by introducing disruptive machines likely to result in layoffs.
He's also mourning the loss of his beloved wife, who has run off with the lector, a person traditionally hired by Cuban companies to entertain the workers by reading books aloud. We meet Ofelia and her daughters awaiting the arrival of the new lector, the charming and handsome Juan Julian (Fabricio Santos). Ofelia tries to keep Marela's (a wonderful Maylin Castro) feet on the ground, but her younger daughter is irrepressibly excited and bubbly.
Elder daughter Conchita (a marvelous Abby Hawk) is cool and collected. We soon learn the likely reason. Love has gone out of her marriage to the unfaithful Palomo (an excellent John Squires).

All three are primed for disruption with Juan Julian's arrival. But what drives the story is the oh-so-resonant yarn he reads to them: Tolstoy's tragic Anna Karenina. The play's brilliance lies, first, in its integration of events and themes from the novel with the woes and desires of Cruz's fictional family. Second, Cruz masters a tropical, poetical, even florid idiom that recalls García Márquez or Jorge Amado more than the speech of real people, yet makes the characters who speak it feel sweatily real.
The scenes focused on the younger generation feel especially visceral. Marela emerges in a gaudy Russian-style outfit ready to be photographed as the face of Santiago's new cigar brand. Juan Julian puffs comically on the maiden stogie at the celebration of the new line. Cheché breaks down, finally, spewing out the pain and anxiety he's been suffering, before tragically acting out.
Most compelling of all is Conchita's confrontation with her cheating husband, a scene played with a rare mixture of eloquence and raw emotion. Contrasting starkly with her bickering parents' warm, lasting devotion, and with Marela's starry dreams of romance, it clangs forcefully, even as two onstage musicians smooth us from scene to scene with trumpet, percussion, and bass.
The play remains powerful in our present age marked by "artisanal" consumerism along with threats to jobs from artificial intelligence. The Gallery Players' revival is a commanding one, with some very fine performances and strong direction from Mark Gallagher. It runs through 4 November. Visit the website for schedule and tickets.

I have model no. But no info comes up. Need to get to thermal fuse.
You should be able to get the manual online at maytags website.
What is your model number? I may be able to find for you.
Call the company or a dealer and ask where you can get a manual.
Hi Shirley. I'm Cindy. I recommend that you go to YouTube.com. Type the name, make and model numbers in the search bar. They will give you a tutorial on how to work on your drier. They have tutorials on everything under the sun. We use it a lot. Best of luck to you.
Go to https://www.repairclinic.com/. Punch in your model number. The have schematics, repair guides, and sell parts. My go to site.
You said that you have the model number but no info comes up. In that case, I'd suggest giving Maytag a call to see why. A 5 year old washer should still be supported. Maybe it's the same as another model and just didn't come up. You could also try a different search feature. If you're using Microsoft, download google chrome and try that one. Good luck.


As the owner of your own business, you have the freedom to be creative. That's something bigger companies can't do as easily because what they offer one employee they generally have to offer to everyone.
If you run your own show you have the ability to do things bigger companies can't.
As a small business owner it can be daunting to recruit employees when you are competing with bigger entities. There are some perks you simply can't offer based on the size of your company.
When you're competing with businesses offering subsidized cafeterias, in-office gyms, and on-site child care, there's simply nothing you can do to match those perks. That, however, does not mean you have no options.
As the owner of your own business, you have the freedom to be creative. That's something bigger companies can't do as easily because what they offer one employee they generally have to offer to everyone. If you get creative, you may be able to come up with a package that appeals to a potential employee more than what the big companies can offer.
In my days editing small, local daily newspapers, I was able to hire and retain employees by being flexible in scheduling. Some employees worked traditional shifts while others worked around parenting responsibilities, classes, and other obligations.
My being flexible kept some of these staff members from leaving for higher-paying jobs at bigger papers because they did not want to work a rigid schedule. In addition, my flexibility and willingness to work around employees' other needs made my staff more willing to work non-traditional hours when the job required it.
If you need to lure a key employee who has options at larger companies it may make sense to cut him or her in on the action. This could mean profit sharing or it could be an opportunity for a person to earn a share of ownership. Obviously, giving away either profits or a stake in the company is a serious decision to make, but these are tools you can use if the person you're going after is worth it.
A large company may have training programs available for new employees, but it probably does not offer many employees the opportunity to be mentored by the owner. As a small business owner, you can offer to hire someone and help him or her gain the skills needed to someday run their own business.
This may appeal to someone who has aspirations beyond their current position. As the owner, you can expose an employee to every aspect of running the company making him or her a more attractive candidate for a bigger job or to one day go out on their own.
If you interview potential employees who may get offers from bigger companies use every tool at your disposal. Take the time to get to know what is important to the potential hire and make him or her an offer that's customized to them.
Make it clear that you will value what they value. That may be flexibility, career development, compensation, or something else entirely. Listen and talk with the candidate in order to show them the upside in working for a small company.

Denton County Paralegal Association - We have a winner!
Today, we held our final monthly meeting of the year. This is the time that we draw for our annual participation prize. This year, we gave away a $150.00 gift certificate to Sutera Spa in Flower Mound, Texas.
Our fabulous Carol Pelzel was the winner of this year's prize. I'm so excited that Carol won. She has worked hard for our association for years now. Carol has procured many door prizes and donations for us, so it's nice that she was the recipient of such a wonderful prize for herself.


Tucson is a special place.
I may be a little biased since it's quite possibly my favorite place in the world, and also happens to be the place I call "home." It has majestic mountains, the bluest skies, and this combination makes for a constant real-life painting backdrop. There are bike paths on every road, snow an hour away in the winter, and Tucson lacks the more sweaty quality of my new place of residence (humidity). But beyond all of this, Tucson has consciously made a decision to prevent light pollution of our skies. The University has an impressive astronomy program and from the surrounding mountains, telescopes reach to discover all sorts of new things about the world beyond the clouds.
You can be in the middle of town and still look up and see a hundred stars. Granted, it comes with its cons- many people don't like driving on roads without street lights. Gait enters though, all it takes is one solid minute of staring up into that night sky to decide it's all worth it.
What is it about the stars that can completely distract your mind from all the other clutter? I see the stars like many people see the ocean, only I didn't grow up near any water. But it doesn't matter, because you can gaze up into those stars and see the same depth to the world and feel that sense of how minuscule your single body is in the vast planet. Ocean or stars? For me, I prefer the stars, for they can take us even beyond the ocean. Step outside and take a gander – it's out of this world.
