Editor(s) Bio
Youth unemployment and underemployment is a serious issue in most developed countries in the world. Having few young people in the workplace has serious and lasting consequences for generations of young people, their families, businesses and society as a whole. Dr Carter explores these important issues from multiple (and international) perspectives, offering research evidence and guiding frameworks from social and work psychology, to get more young people into good work.
Young People, Employment and Work Psychology brings together educators, researchers, occupational psychologists, and government agencies responding to young people struggling to gain and sustain employment. Theoretically based and evidence-driven, this book explores the consequences of unemployment, suggests ways in which businesses can enable young people's first steps into employment and gives practical advice to young people and employers to prepare for and gain entry-level roles and develop more diverse workplaces. From the reasons why organizations are often reluctant to employ young people, to issues of motivation and confidence which often affect young people's perspective in looking for work, the book covers several interventions within both the public and private sector.
This book is an invaluable resource for employers, policy makers and professionals working with young people, as well as students and researchers in work and organizational psychology, HRM, business management and social policy.
1. Youth employment today: unpacking the different perspectives
2. Youth unemployment and underemployment: a global problem of our time
3. The voice of young people: finding the right fit
4. Unemployment at a young age: a work psychological analysis of its nature, consequences and possible remedies
5. It's a hard knock life: youth unemployment in London
6. Building individual futures: education to prepare people for work
7. Increasing youth employment benefits a community
8. Facilitating job search and employment opportunities for young people
9. Focussing on young people's future work
Angela J Carter is an Occupational Psychologist with over 20 years' experience of working with individuals, groups and organizations. She is passionate about applying the knowledge of work and organizational psychology to our daily work.
"This important book about young people and employment has profound implication for the future of work and of our societies". - Professor Binna Kandola, OBE

A Disastrous Night for the Democrats
By John Cassidy
Adolf Randall, a supporter of Democratic Senator Mary Landrieu, of Louisiana, watches election returns at the Hyatt Regency in New Orleans.

The horror show for Democrats began early and ran late. An hour or two before the polls had closed anywhere, Sean Hannity was chatting merrily on his radio program, saying to Scott Brown and Ed Gillespie how well the two G.O.P. Senate hopefuls were doing in New Hampshire and Virginia, respectively. The strong prospects for Brown weren't a surprise, but Gillespie, the former lobbyist and R.N.C. official? On Tuesday morning, the Real Clear Politics poll average for his race had him running ten points behind Mark Warner, the Democratic incumbent. On all the lists of battleground states I've seen this year, and I've seen a ton of them, Virginia didn't figure anywhere.
As it happened, neither Brown nor Gillespie ended up winning their races, but they were about the only Republican candidates who didn't. (Gillespie has not yet conceded in Virginia, but trails Warner with ninety-nine per cent of the vote counted.) By midnight, all the networks were projecting a Republican takeover of the Senate, and they were also saying that the G.O.P. would most likely end up with fifty-four seats, which is more than forecasters and pundits, myself included, had anticipated. (I predicted that they would win fifty-three seats.) The Republicans also strengthened their hold on the House of Representatives and won some important gubernatorial races.
On Fox News, there were smiles all round, and Karl Rove was saying, "It was a wave year for Republicans." Over on CNN, Paul Begala was calling on Democrats to ask themselves, "Why did we get drubbed like this?" In the heartland, triumphant G.O.P.ers were giving victory speeches. In West Allis, Wisconsin, Scott Walker, the union-bashing governor of the Badger state, started out his speech after comfortably defeating his Democratic challenger, Mary Burke, by paying tribute to his state's active-duty service members, which is what you do when you have a Presidential bid in your sights. And in West Des Moines, Iowa, Joni Ernst, the hog-castrating, gun-toting farm girl turned G.O.P. icon was declaring, "Well, Iowa, we did it!" To put a cork in things, when Fox switched back to its studio from the Ernst speech, it called the Massachusetts governor's race for Charlie Baker, the Republican candidate.
Though the night's story line was consistent, it was hard to know which plot point was most depressing for Democrats and the Obama Administration. Was it the way the party's support collapsed in the South, leading to crushing defeats for Mark Pryor in Arkansas (who lost by seventeen percentage points), Alison Lundergan Grimes in Kentucky (who lost by fifteen points), and Michelle Nunn in Georgia (who lost by seven points)? Was it Republican Cory Gardner's victory over Mark Udall in Colorado, a state that figures heavily in the argument that demographic trends favor a permanent Democratic majority? Pat Roberts's comeback win in Kansas over the independent candidate Greg Orman? Or was it the sight of the Republican businessman Thom Tillis's followers celebrating in North Carolina, following their man's triumph over Kay Hagan? That, truly, was a race that the Democrats thought they had done enough to win. (I did, too.) But, in the end, it wasn't even particularly close. Tillis, the speaker of the North Carolina House of Representatives, won by nearly two per cent.
So what happened? In retrospect, it was a fairly familiar midterm story. A ruling party went into a campaign with an unpopular President and a discontented electorate, and, on an Election Day characterized by low turnout among the general population, and by intense excitement among activists in the opposition party, it got trounced. What was surprising was how long it took for this story to emerge—right up until yesterday.
How dissatisfied was the electorate? According to the national exit poll, fifty-nine per cent of voters said that they were angry or disappointed with the Obama Administration. Seven in ten said that the economy is in bad shape, and just one in three said it is improving. Sixty-five per cent of respondents said that the country was seriously off-track. That last figure is twelve points higher than the equivalent finding in the exit poll taken during the 2012 Presidential election.
This toxic environment created the conditions for a classic midterm backlash against an unpopular President. Something very similar happened to George W. Bush, in November, 2006. What confused the picture this year was the strong and well-financed campaigns that Hagan and several other embattled Democrats ran, which allowed them to outperform the fundaments up until the last few days of the campaign, when things started to crater. Late last week, I noted that there were signs that the undecideds were breaking to the Republicans. But neither I nor anybody else picked up on the scale of what was happening.
All across the country, it was enough to sweep Republicans home. Naturally, the focus was on the Senate. But, as Scott Walker's victory indicated, the G.O.P. also did very well in gubernatorial elections. In Florida, Rick Scott scraped by the ex-governor (and party turncoat) Charlie Crist, who had been leading in the polls for much of the year. In Michigan, Rick Snyder handily defeated his Democratic challenger, Mark Schauer. Even Kansas's Sam Brownback, an irresponsible tax-cutter and budget-slasher who was, at one stage, so unpopular that it looked like he might be run out of the state, got reëlected.
The G.O.P. also scored some big pick-ups in governor's races. In Maryland, the Republican businessman Larry Hogan came from well behind in the polls to defeat Anthony Brown, the state's lieutenant governor. In Arkansas, Asa Hutchinson, a former Republican congressman who was one of Bill Clinton's principal tormentors during the Whitewater saga and the subsequent impeachment trial, emerged victorious. About the only good news for Democrats in governors' races was a pick-up in Pennsylvania, where the kitchen-cabinet magnate Tom Wolf defeated Tom Corbett, the Republican incumbent, and in Connecticut, with what looked like a hold, as Dannel Malloy claimed victory over Tom Foley. (In the early hours of Wednesday, Foley was still refusing to concede defeat.) In Colorado, with ninety-two per cent of the vote counted as of this writing, the Democratic incumbent John Hickenlooper was running slightly ahead of the Republican Bob Beauprez.
And yet, despite all of this, it would be premature to call the 2014 election a major turning point. There's little evidence that the country has taken a big swing toward the Republican Party's ideology or policy positions, or, even, that it has any great liking for the G.O.P. The same exit poll that showed fifty-nine per cent of respondents were dissatisfied or angry with the Obama Administration found that sixty-one per cent of respondents were angry or disappointed with Republican leaders in Congress. It found that fifty-three per cent of Americans have an unfavorable opinion of the Democratic Party and that fifty-six per cent have an unfavorable opinion of the Republican Party.
As for policy, the exit poll showed that the economy remains the biggest issue, by far, in voters' minds. Jobs and wages are what people care about most, and, in both of these areas, they tended to support Democratic positions. One quick example: at the same time as they were electing a Republican senator and a Republican governor, the voters of Arkansas approved, by a two-to-one margin, a raise in the state's minimum wage.
We also shouldn't forget that this was a midterm electorate, not a Presidential-election electorate. According to the exit poll, the number of seniors who voted yesterday was twice as large as the number of eighteen-to-twenty-nine-year-olds. In 2012, there were more young voters than seniors. I haven't seen the final figures for the racial breakdown of yesterday's electorate, but, according to the exit poll's preliminary findings, the percentage of non-white voters was also down significantly from 2012. Come 2016, the 2012 demographic trends will almost certainly reassert themselves.
In short, this was a big protest vote, and a big defeat for President Obama. To that extent, it was a big victory for the Republicans. Mitch McConnell, the Senate Majority Leader-elect, earned his moment of glory. ("It's time to turn this country around—and I will not let you down," McConnell told a group of cheering supporters relatively early in the evening, following his thumping of Grimes.) But if a "wave election" is one that signifies important changes in the underlying dynamics of the American electorate, then this wasn't a wave election.

← China Wrests Supercomputer Title From U.S.
The Q3 GDP comes as better than what I projected. But there are scheduled revisions down the road. We may have the last push to reach the top early next week with a double top pattern. I anticipate to see bull will be ambushed at the top by the bear no later than Wednesday afternoon after Fed meeting.

Twake is born from a need to improve the link between collaborative platforms, which simplify teamwork every day, but disperses sources of information and data. data and information are centralized, a platform that requires only one account and finally an open, scalable platform with infinite potential.
After a first year of development and the support of several acceleration structures in Nancy, we open our first offices at Telecom Nancy and his team goes from three to six people. This new team accelerates the technical and commercial development of the Twake application. Today Twake Technologies is a very young company, whose clients are located in Toulouse, Paris or Luxembourg.
Today's enterprise computing is born before the Internet revolutionizes its use. Our goal is to write the future of enterprise computing by placing collaboration and communication at the center of all our innovations.
Try Twake now, it's easy !


The project took a survey of 500 newspapers managers found that 28 percent thought their companies saw the trends and had answers; the rest didn't. "So it's clear that the industry has no idea what to do next," says Steve Gray, leader of the project, who's speaking here.
We're getting the Christensen disruptive innovation spiel. I hate to think that there could be anyone left in the newspaper industry who isn't aware that they're quite disrupted. I'm eager to see innovation and experimentation that is not afraid to disrupt itself.
Now he's starting to list the disrupters taking on newspapers, starting with free print dailies, then Craigslist. Oh, those are only the easy disrupters. Sit down and start listing how the internet disrupts the newspaper business and you'll fill a page very fast. Start here: How about your readers writing as disruption?
Will innovation happen within the industry this way? Having been in too many task forces inside and outside news companies, I am dubious.
See, instead, how Murdoch is innovating: He's buying MySpace. Viacom buys iFilm. Even Yahoo and Google buy the guys inventing the next things.
I said to Gray that the project seems to be trying to move a big, old barge five degrees when we need to blow up the barge and pick up the pieces and build new boats. He shifted the metaphor and said he's trying to big, old cows to move a bit.
I don't think that's enough. In fact, I think that making small steps — hey, least we're doing something, you say — is false comfort. It is dangerous.


The purpose of this article is to begin to place the developments of the past few decades in historical perspective. To that end, the article is divided into three parts, roughly corresponding to the final three decades of the past century. The first part of the article describes the origins of U.S. environmental law, focusing primarily on its first decade from 1970 through 1980. The second part examines how U.S. environmental laws have since evolved, focusing primarily on their second decade (the 1980s), which was a period of tremendous expansion for environmental law. Finally, the third part considers future trends in environmental law in the United States, i.e., where environmental law is going, focusing on developments during the 1990s while relating them to several controversies that developed in the 1970s, persisted in the 1980s, and have since exploded to the surface in the 1990s.

Shop Happenings
Best Ice Cream in NYC!
We're honored to be named the 2014 Best Ice Cream in NYC by Village Voice!
Owner David Yoo is the man behind the frosty magic at this East Village shop outfitted with a colorful, beckoning sign that's a nod to its creator's former life as a graphic designer. Davey's Ice Cream is made on-site from raw ingredients, and each batch requires a four-day-long production schedule. There's the much-buzzed-about strong coffee, and deep, dark double chocolate, as well as a gonzo brunch flavor with brioche french toast pieces, cinnamon-maple syrup, and coffee-glazed bacon all folded into a sweet-cream base. But by far our favorite thing about Davey's are the local collaborations with other neighborhood businesses, which have yielded scoops filled with cinnamon and chocolate babka from East Village legend Moishe's Bake Shop, as well as a Marcona almond flavor in partnership with Jonah Miller's Basque restaurant Huertas.

Roads are wild yet thrilling. Nights are dark yet amazing. The quiet is profound yet deafening. The wilderness is desert yet exotic. One cannot imagine 30,000 acres until experienced first-hand.

Супергіганський слалом або слалом-супергігант — дисципліна гірськолижного спорту, спуск на швидкість з гори з обов'язковим проходженням певного числа воріт, позначених прапорцями.

Супергігантський слалом належить до швидкістних дисциплін гірськолижного спорту. Траса для супергіганта має більшу кількість поворотів і меншу кількість природних трамплінів, ніж швидкісний спуск. Швидкість лижника на дистанції загалом менша, але від нього вимагається більше вміння змінювати напрямок руху.

До програми Олімпійських ігор супергігант входить, починаючи з Олімпіади 1988 в Калгарі.

Q: SendInput() for keyboard - only uppercase Quite funny. I just asked few minutes ago here SendInput() for keyboard - only lowercase, how to send letters upper case. The solution was to send shift before letter. But after turning shift on I can't turn it off...
I'm trying hard with KEYEVENTF_KEYUP flag like this:
INPUT Input = { 0 };
Input.type       = INPUT_KEYBOARD;
Input.mi.dwFlags = KEYEVENTF_EXTENDEDKEY;
Input.ki.wVk   = VK_LSHIFT;
SendInput( 1, &Input, sizeof( INPUT ) );

Input.type       = INPUT_KEYBOARD;
Input.mi.dwFlags = KEYEVENTF_EXTENDEDKEY;
Input.ki.wVk   = 'A';
SendInput( 1, &Input, sizeof( INPUT ) );

Input.type       = INPUT_KEYBOARD;
Input.mi.dwFlags = KEYEVENTF_KEYUP | KEYEVENTF_EXTENDEDKEY;
Input.ki.wVk   = VK_LSHIFT;
SendInput( 1, &Input, sizeof( INPUT ) );

Input.type       = INPUT_KEYBOARD;
Input.mi.dwFlags = KEYEVENTF_EXTENDEDKEY;
Input.ki.wVk   = 'A';
SendInput( 1, &Input, sizeof( INPUT ) );

but it seems to not work at all. It always sends AA.
Thanks.

A: The problem was with
Input.mi.dwFlags

it should be
Input.ki.dwFlags

thanks to rodrigo.
Another way is to use KEYEVENTF_SCANCODE flag. Then we have to scan our char using VkKeyScan() - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms646329(v=vs.85).aspx, which gives us virtual key code in low byte and state (shift, ctrl etc.) in high byte.
Due to using scan codes we have to map our virtual code to scan code by using MapVirtualKey() with MAPVK_VK_TO_VSC value, MSDN says:

uCode is a virtual-key code and is translated into a scan code. If it
  is a virtual-key code that does not distinguish between left- and
  right-hand keys, the left-hand scan code is returned. If there is no
  translation, the function returns 0.

and then pass it to the wScan field of the Input.ki structure, because according to MSDN if we use scan codes it ignores wVk and uses wScan, MSDN says:

If specified, wScan identifies the key and wVk is ignored.

Therefore the code can look something like this:
INPUT Event = { 0 };

const SHORT key = VkKeyScan('a');
const UINT mappedKey = MapVirtualKey( LOBYTE( key ), 0 );

// Press shift key
Event.type = INPUT_KEYBOARD;
Event.ki.dwFlags = KEYEVENTF_SCANCODE;
Event.ki.wScan = MapVirtualKey( VK_LSHIFT, 0 );
SendInput( 1, &Event, sizeof( Event ) );

// upper case 'A' (press down)
Event.type = INPUT_KEYBOARD;
Event.ki.dwFlags = KEYEVENTF_SCANCODE;
Event.ki.wScan = mappedKey;
SendInput( 1, &Event, sizeof( Event ) );

//  release 'A'
Event.type = INPUT_KEYBOARD;
Event.ki.dwFlags = KEYEVENTF_SCANCODE | KEYEVENTF_KEYUP;
Event.ki.wScan = mappedKey;
SendInput( 1, &Event, sizeof( Event ) );

// Release shift key
Event.type = INPUT_KEYBOARD;
Event.ki.dwFlags = KEYEVENTF_SCANCODE | KEYEVENTF_KEYUP;
Event.ki.wScan = MapVirtualKey( VK_LSHIFT, 0 );
SendInput( 1, &Event, sizeof( Event ) );

const SHORT key1 = VkKeyScan('a');
const UINT mappedKey1 = MapVirtualKey( LOBYTE( key1 ), 0 );

// lower case 'a' (press down)
Event.type = INPUT_KEYBOARD;
Event.ki.dwFlags = KEYEVENTF_SCANCODE;
Event.ki.wScan = mappedKey1;
SendInput( 1, &Event, sizeof( Event ) );

// release 'a'
Event.type = INPUT_KEYBOARD;
Event.ki.dwFlags = KEYEVENTF_SCANCODE;
Event.ki.wScan = mappedKey1;
SendInput( 1, &Event, sizeof( Event ) );

If I have said something wrong, please correct me.

A: Thanks for this!  It was very helpful in debugging my code.  Here is my final version for those who need it.
void Type(const char* text) {
    INPUT ip[4] = {};

    for (; *text; text++) {
        int startInput = 1; // Assume 1 keyup and keydown pair.
        int nInputs = 2;

        if (HIBYTE(VkKeyScan(*text)) == 1) { // Set up SHIFT key and release
            startInput = 0;
            nInputs = 4;

            ip[0].type = INPUT_KEYBOARD;
            ip[0].ki.dwFlags = KEYEVENTF_SCANCODE;
            ip[0].ki.wScan = MapVirtualKey(VK_LSHIFT, 0);

            ip[3] = ip[0];
            ip[3].ki.dwFlags = KEYEVENTF_SCANCODE | KEYEVENTF_KEYUP;
        }

        ip[1].type = INPUT_KEYBOARD;  // Set up key and release
        ip[1].ki.wScan = MapVirtualKey(LOBYTE(VkKeyScan(*text)), 0);
        ip[1].ki.dwFlags = KEYEVENTF_SCANCODE;

        ip[2] = ip[1];
        ip[2].ki.dwFlags = KEYEVENTF_SCANCODE | KEYEVENTF_KEYUP;

        SendInput(nInputs, &ip[startInput], sizeof(INPUT));
        Sleep(100);
    }

1,4-Dioxane Cleanup
Pumping and Treatment of Groundwater
Contaminated groundwater is currently pulled from the ground via extraction wells. The contaminated water is then transported to the Gelman site for treatment using the advanced oxidation process of ozone (O3) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2).
There are currently 14 active (out of 22 total) extraction wells pumping a minimum of 300 gallons per minute (gpm). From October 2019 to September 2020, an average of 471 gpm of contaminated groundwater was pumped and treated.
The treated water, which still contains low levels of 1,4-dioxane, is then discharged to an unnamed tributary of Honey Creek. Gelman must meet both monthly and daily discharge limits for both 1,4-dioxane and bromate per their National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit.
Monthly average of 20,361,600 gallons of water treated.
Monthly average of 67 pounds of 1,4-dioxane removed.
Consent Judgment
The Consent Judgment is a legal agreement between the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes and Energy (EGLE), formerly DEQ, and Gelman Sciences that dictates the monitoring and treatment of the contamination. The Consent Judgment was first enacted in 1992.
The Consent Judgment was amended a first time in 1996 and a second time in 1999. In 2005 an Order Prohibiting Groundwater Use was put into place (see more information below) creating a Prohibition Zone. The Consent Judgment was amended a third time in 2011, which included an expansion of the Prohibition Zone.
In 2016, in response to the decreased cleanup criterion, Washtenaw County, the City of Ann Arbor, Scio Township and the Huron River Watershed Council petitioned to join the court case between the State of Michigan and Gelman. These "intervenors" were approved to join the case in 2017 and parties have been working since to negotiate a 4th Amendment to the Consent Judgment.
The proposed Fourth Amendment and Restatement of the Consent Judgment, and related documents, can be accessed via the document repository webpage. The Fourth Amendment proposes additional mapping and plume delineation, new monitoring and extraction wells, additional treatment at the source and expansion of the Prohibition.
Order Prohibiting Groundwater Use / Prohibition Zone
The Order Prohibiting Groundwater Use created a 'Prohibition Zone' as an Institutional Control to prevent exposures to 1,4-dioxane.
Within the Prohibition Zone, the installation of a water supply wells for drinking, irrigation, commercial or industrial use is prohibited.
The Prohibition Zone, implemented in 2005, is located east of Wagner Road and all properties within the Prohibition Zone are connected to municipal water. The Prohibition Zone was expanded in 2011 as part of the 3rd Consent Judgment Amendment and again in 2021 as part of the 4th Consent Judgment Amendment.
Remedial Objective Areas
The 3rd Amendment to the Consent Judgment detailed remediation objectives for three different plume areas: the Eastern Area, Western Area and Little Lake Area. Despite the State of Michigan decreasing the residential criterion for 1,4-dioxane in 2016, the remedial objectives follow the most recent Consent Judgment amendment which defines the plume at 85 ppb.
The Eastern Area, east of Wagner Road, objectives included the groundwater use Prohibition Zone and a Maple Road Containment objective. The Western Area, west of Wagner Road, and Little Lake Area employed non-expansion cleanup objectives.
Response activities implemented to meet the remedial objectives included pumping and treating of contaminated groundwater and a compliance monitoring well network.

"Lavender" is a song by the British neo-progressive rock band Marillion. It was released as the second single from their 1985 UK number one concept album Misplaced Childhood. The follow-up to the UK number two hit "Kayleigh", the song was their second Top Five UK hit, entering the chart on 7 September 1985, reaching number five and staying on the chart for nine weeks.[1] None of the group's subsequent songs have reached the Top Five and "Lavender" remains their second highest-charting song. As with all Marillion albums and singles between 1982 and 1988, the cover art was created by Mark Wilkinson.

Inspiration and composition[edit]
The song features a number of verses that are reminiscent of the folk song "Lavender's Blue". The song forms part of the concept of the Misplaced Childhood album. Like "Kayleigh" it is a love song, but whereas "Kayleigh" was about the failure of an adult relationship, "Lavender" recalls the innocence of childhood:
The childhood theme also brought up the idea of utilising an old children's song and "Lavender" was an obvious contender as one of the original pop songs of its time.[2]
Going through parks listening to Joni Mitchell, "Lavender" is the little boy's dream about you can walk through the park and bump into the lady of your dreams that you're going to fall instantaneously in love with.[3]
The opening lines "I was walking in the park dreaming of a spark, when I heard the sprinklers whisper, shimmer in the haze of summer lawns" deliberately recall the title track of Mitchell's album The Hissing of Summer Lawns.
Unusually for a rock song from the mid-1980s, "Lavender" features a traditional grand piano rather than an electronic keyboard or electric piano. In the music video, keyboardist Mark Kelly is seen playing a Bechstein but the original sleeve notes of the Misplaced Childhood album state that a Bösendorfer was used for the recording.
On the album Misplaced Childhood, "Lavender" is a short track of barely two and a half minutes, forming part of a longer suite that continues into the likewise multi-portioned track "Bitter Suite", which repeats Lavender's musical motif at the end. In order to be suitable for a single release, the track therefore needed to be re-arranged and extended. As a result, the 7" version is significantly longer than the album version (3:40 as opposed to 2:27), whereas the 12" version – entitled "Lavender Blue" – is 4:18.
Legacy[edit]
The song features on several Marillion compilation albums, including A Singles Collection (1992), The Best of Both Worlds (1997) and The Best of Marillion (2003). A CD replica of the single was also part of a collectors box-set released in July 2000 which contained Marillion's first twelve singles and was re-issued as a 3-CD set in 2009 (see The Singles '82–88').
The song was used in the first episode of BBC black comedy Nighty Night during a scene in which Julia Davis performs a dance for Angus Deayton.[citation needed]
The song was used in Season 1, Episode 6 of Showtime's On Becoming a God in Central Florida, "American Merchandise," directed by Julie Anne Robinson.

Frances Green Kari, a Women's Airforce Service Pilot and wingwalker, was 72 years old when interviewed by Jean Hardy in 1993.
I was born in Marshall, Texas, grew up in Galveston, Texas. Learned to fly in Galveston. I had three brothers, and was the only daughter. I had a twin brother and two older brothers. I was born in 1921. My birthday is October 26.
Back in those days, we did not have the entertainment that youngsters have today. But we had the beautiful beach. We had miles and miles of beach and water and sand. Thats where my twin brother and little brother practically grew up. We lived about five blocks from the beach. By the time we were six or seven years old, we could all swim like fish, and my mother could trust us to go out all day, swim the whole day at the beach. She would give us a quarter a piece, and with that quarter we could buy food to last us all day. That was the diversion we had. There wasn't much else to do, until our growing up years. There was dancing and stuff like that, but still, Galveston Island was a little tiny island off the coast of Gulf of Mexico. Completely surrounded by water.
Every once in a while, we had a hurricane threat. You had to make up your mind to get off of the island or stay there, because after the point of no return, you stayed because there was no way you could get off. There's only two ways. One side was a causeway. The other side was the ferry. Most of the time we just stuck it out.
My father was with the railroad. He later died of. They determined it was the result of an accident that happened years before.
I went to Ball High School. That was the name of the high school. I liked school. I really loved school. I did well, because school was my whole life at that time. I wanted to do the best I could in everything that came along. I tried to interest my twin into getting interested in the spirits of english and the modern concept of literature, but he was nothing but sports minded. He would have any part of it. He did finally graduate, but it was a real chore to get him through high school.
In my last year of high school, I got interested in the band. Got picked up in that, finally made the marching band. I played the drums, and that was all fun. But after all the football season. It was very short, there wasn't much time. I enjoyed my childhood very,very much.
After I high school, I went to work for the telephone company. They took a handful of us, and I still think it was kind of observation type thing, because they only took about six of us, and we were supposed to count so many things and do this and do that a given time. Apparently, somebody must have been observing us, cause there was two of us that were picked out of the six that regular jobs, and I stayed with them until I was; I finished my flying and I was old enough to go in the WASP.
I'm not sure what exactly what aroused the interest, but it was there. A friend of mine, he used to go out to the airport and just sit and watch the airplanes come and go, which was a big deal, in those days cause there was not many coming and going, but we could go out there. My friend got to be friends with some of the boys that worked out in the hangar, and they sneaked me in the airplanes once in a while, and would take me up on a flight.
Then, I finally met Bob Skoales, who was the manager of the airport, and my instructor. There was several businessmen in town that were anxious to get a flying club up. Like eight people into a Piper or something like that. So, my mom brought over the money, and I joined this group. Thats when we could fly for three dollars an hour. No, Five fifty, solo, and three dollars for instruction.
And I plugged along in that until I had my time. It was a Piper Cub, and an Aeronea. I think thats what I learned to fly in mainly. There were a few planes on the side that someone would let me fly, but those were the main airplanes.
I remember my first solo. It was late in the afternoon, you know the winds on the island would shift rapidly, and I knew that and I was well aware of that. But, I was so excited about being up there all by myself. I kind of overlooked that. So, the first two passes I made to come in, I could see I was going to float right over the airport. And I thought: "there is something wrong there". I could see my instructor down there, he's giving this, you know. It finally dawned on me I was coming in downwind. So, I went out and made a new approach and landed. That was about the happiest day of my life.
(joining the Women's Airforce Service Pilots)
I filled out this application, and was I called to go up to Dallas, Texas, from Galveston. I took the eye test, and took my physical, and everything was hunky- dory. They said: "now you just go home and wait". So, I went home. Then, I had to wait until I was 21. That was still a few months away.
Well, as soon as I turned 21, I got this telegram that came in the middle of the night. Telling me to report to Sweetwater, such and such a date, in May of 43. All excited. My mother takes me down to the train. Puts me on, and waves me goodbye, and away I go.
(What was your first impression of Sweetwater? (This is where basic training for the WASPS -was held))
I didn't pay much attention to my surroundings, or anything else. Lets face it, I was scared to death. I was scared of being away from home. (This was the first time Fran was away from home). After a few hours of being there, there was some of us that struck up real strong friendships and that lasted throughout.
I was in the class 43-5. I was bay mate with Sylvia Schwartz. There were two Sylvia's in my bay, and a girt named jean Gavin. Jean later died. And then there was a girl by the name of Ray. And then there was a girl by the name of Wilma Morehouse. She was in there. She's completely disappeared. Nobody knows where she is.
(When you went to Sweetwater, the largest airplane you had flown was a Piper Cub. What was it like to fly an AT-6?)
I thought that was marvelous. I thought that was the most wonderful thing in the world. Even the PT- 1 9 excited me.
(What was it like flying these airplanes? What was your impression flying the AT- 6?)
1 remember it was kind of tricky on landing. (the AT-6) But I discovered from the very beginning if you were super alert on your landing you could correct for any anything that was going to happen. So, I never had any real difficulty with that.
(Any exciting experiences?)
Well, I had a forced landing in Witchata Falls. All of a sudden I was loosing power, and I thought: "what was going on?" And I kept trying to get a little more power, and it just quit on me. And it was a dead stick landing. I looked here and there, the only thing that looked available was a corn field. So I got that (plane) right out at the end of the cornfield. It was a cut down corn field, which helped me to stop.
I was in a Bt-13. So that was all fine and good, and I crawled out, and walked to a farm house and called them, and told them something had happened to my airplane. I was down in a corn field, and told then where I was.
So here comes this group, a hot shot. And he said, I can get this airplane out in nothing flat. And I said good for you. They didn't even take the cowling off and look at it. I don't think they trusted me or something.
He hops in that thing and fires it up, and gets it roaring up. He gets about from here to that front door and then (puts on the brakes). He said: "this field is too short, and you don't have enough power". I said: "what do you think I am doing down here?"
So they had to truck it off. Truck it over to Wichita Falls. And I stayed there two nights and three days. And I didn't have any money with me. You know, on our cross countries, we never took any money. So this man, who was a Major, he felt sorry for me, he gave me, he gave me a handful of change, and a couple of cupcakes out of the machine and coke. And finally, this Master Sergeant came along says: "why don't you go over to the WAC mess hall? They'll feed you.'
So, I went over there and was standing in line and this lady came up to me and she said: "May I ask who you are?" And I told her. And she says: "I'm sorry, we have to account for every meal we serve." I thought, well, there goes my supper. So, I didn't get any food. So one guy, he's going to town anyways. He brought me back a grilled cheese sandwich or something like that.
The next day they came and got me in a UC-78. And my plane didn't get fixed and ready to fly for thirteen days after that. Someone else went after it.
And some of the troops like Mitch said: "Where have you been? What's you been doin?" I said just having a wonderful time. That was fun, but that was the only odd ball experience I had in the whole thing. The rest was pretty cut and dried down the line.
(Did you have any hard times with any of the instructors or anything?)
No, we got along just great all of us. Some of them I liked better than the other ones, but it wasn't that the other ones weren't good instructors, it was just that some I enjoyed more.
So, then I went to Dallas. I was at Dallas, Texas, for six weeks. And I ferried four airplanes. And when I got back from my fourth flight, someone said: 'Hey, Greenie, you got some orders there on the board that are cut for you". And that's when I read that I was being transferred to Columbus, Ohio, for B- 17's. That was just absolutely wonderful. I floated all the way through the whole thing. It was so great. It was just wonderful.
We had a good instructor. He was firm, but he was compassionate. He was concerned. He did everything in the world he could to bring out the best in you.
(What was it like to fly a B- 17?)
It's like flying a great, big, kite. And it was so neat because you pull back those throttles and it just float, float away. The most forgiving airplane I have ever flown. You know after landing, there's a before takeoff procedure in between. I don't remember who I was with. Ginny or Charlotette, of one of the gals. This was at night. We were having such a wonderful time that we did a landing and taxied around and taking off. I went up to reach up and get the boosters, the turbo's or something they were already off. That was just how forgiving that airplane was. (after B- 17 training) We were stationed at Buckingham Field, in Florida. That's where we hauled a crew of gunners. We were flying down parallel with the coast, down south. And there's was B-26 out there pulling a target. And the gunners were shootin at that. Then we get done at the end, and we would turn around and come back, and they would shoot from the other side.
And then they had what was called an estimation range. We flew estimation range in between the other flying. They just needed somebody and said this afternoon, we need two hours, or you'll spend two hours tomorrow on it. And that was fun, because you would be in an AT-6, and you would go screaming across this valley like, and would go angling down as fast as you could, and peel off, and try to confuse the gunners that were down there, trying to shoot you down.
(when you were flying the B- 17's, did you have male first pilot or co-pilot?)
One day we would fly, and we would be first pilot, then the next we might be co-pilot, and we would split the time between. Sometimes it was guys, or sometimes it was gals. But everybody more or less equated out the same amount of time. First pilot time.
(What was it like flying with men, did you ever have any problems?)
No, problems
(Did they accept you and everything?)
Oh yea. There was no problem there. By that time we were all pretty good friends, you know. They were all pretty likeable people.
(What was it like sitting in this airplane, having all of these guns going off? Was it hard to fly the airplane?)
No, I didn't think so at all. I think we blocked our minds out of so many of the things that could happen to you. We were just stupid and happy.
(When did you leave Fort Myers, and where did you go from there?)
We left from Fort Myers, and then went to New Mexico. Rosilin, New Mexico. There, we did test flights. We took all the B- 17's there, that needed some kind of repair, and then afterwards, we all had to fly three or fours hours after they came off the repair line. And that was fun. That kind of got a little boring.
Then, came a guy from somewhere, I don't know, he was a Doctor. He wasn't a pilot, but they started this program, once a month, he had to go to this POW Camp, just Northwest of our field. Maybe two hours. He had to go over there, and check all these prisoners. That was kind of interesting.
(What did you do after you found out that the WASPS were disbanding?)
That was Rostin, New Mexico. We heard a rumor one day, it had been kicked around before, that guys were coming back fast and furious from overseas, and we really weren't needed anymore. See in the meantime, way back there when I was at Buckingham, I got married. And George was flying with the fifth bomber group. He was flying B-26's. And then we,he was skatin around the country, someplace.
And then we finally got our orders, and the disbandment actually happened. We were told to turn in our equipment. And Donnie and I, drove from Rosilin, New Mexico, down to Louisiana. And that's where Donnie met her husband. My husband was someplace else, I don't know where.
And then they went on their way. I think maybe he was stationed in the State of Louisiana, someplace. I can't recall the name of the base right now.
And I went on to California. That's where George's family lived. My family was all still down in Galveston. So, I went out to California. And I stayed with his mother, until George came home about eight months later. Then, he got out of the service. So, we were both out. Well, no, before he got out, I joined him, and we went to two or three bases like Vatesda, Georgia, and to Marertta, Georgia, and he was still flying the B-26's.
(What did your parents this about you flying all over the country? What did they think about you being a WASP?)
Well, they had their own ideas whether I should or shouldn't. They never told me I couldn't do it. Or never discouraged me from doing it. They really didn't encourage me either, but like I say, they didn't seem to object too bad. They figured I was going to do it no matter what.
(what did you do after the war?)
We were in Van Nyes, California. Now, George wasn't out quite. So, thats when I joined this civilian ferrying service. And that was flying airplanes; thats when the west coast was gobbling up new airplanes like crazy. Everybody wanted a new airplane. Aeronca's, and Cessna's, and Funk's, and Bellanca's, and Beechcraft.
Our headquarters was in California. We drive back to Ardmore, Oklahoma, or Coffeeville, Kansas. Or that Cessna place in Dallas. And we would pick up five new airplanes, and would come back in a group. Fly back and then the next two or three days, and off we go again, and we did that for over a year until the west coast was saturated with new airplanes.
Then my boss decided he had enough. So then I went to work for Disney. I worked for them about a year. That's when Sammy Mason got in touch in with me, and asked me if I be interested in being a Wing Walker.
(How did Sammy Mason get your name?) (note: Sammy Mason has been a test pilot, air show pilot. He has written a book: Stalls, Spins and Safety, which is considered to be the best book on Spins by many pilots who specialize in spin training)
Oh, who knows. Who knows. He knew every pilot on the west coast. So Sammy wanted to know if I'd like to come up to Bear Lake, and try out to be a Wing Walker. I said: "Certainly, why not". So, I drove up there two days later, and here's this old jenny. And I said: 'Now, what do we do now for practice?" "Oh, you don't practice. There's no practice to it. Either you do it, or you don't". So Roy Crussik, a little bitty guy, about that big, he was the pilot, he said: 'Come on Fran, hop in. I'll tell you what to do, no problem."
So, I went up, and crawled up on the wing. Now then, they hadn't put the shoe pieces in yet. But I walked out to the end of the wing, and stood there for a minute, and came back. And then the next.
(this is was done while the airplane was flying you did that?)
(Did you have a strap on?)
Didn't have anything then. But, the next time I went up, Roy and Sammy had made me this belt. And you could tell it was home made. Later, they had one made by a parachute company. Boy, its a beauty. You'd walk up to the end of the wing, and take the one end and unzip it and hook it over here, and then you let yourself dangle. You've got your skids. Have you ever seen a jenny?
(Yes, I know what one looks like)
And you'd get down so you're dangling, you know.
(And you would get out there when the airplane was flying?)
Oh yea.
(Were you strapped to anything when you walked out there?)
Not when you walked out. You weren't strapped in until you got out there!
(Did you wear a parachute?)
No, you couldn't wear a chute. If you accidently pulled that chord, you'd took like a piece of baloney.
(What would you attach yourself to on the airplane? Was there a pole sticking out?)
Just a spar.
(Did the pilot ever try to loop the plane while you were on it?)
Later, they tried a loop, but it didn't work because we just didn't have the equipment, and my legs couldn't take the G's.
(what was it like wing walking?)
It was kind of breezy. But, it was fun. One time, after I had been in the show; they had tried that loop only once. Cause the force pushed me back. And here I am in these boots on top of that wing, and my body is draped over the cockpit; the second cockpit. Jeez, I thought my ankles was going to snap. But Roy had his hand right in the middle of my back, and held me while we came in for a landing. We didn't try that any more.
Then, later we had a beck of a time. They decided we were going to go from Bear Lake to Lindbergh Field, in New York. I said: 'That's peachy-keen'. And Sammy said: 'You're going to fly the jenny'. 'Who me? I can't fly the jenny, I'm the Wing Walker'. 'But, you're going to be the Wing Walker and the pilot".
The jenny did not have any instruments at all in the front cockpit. No rudder pedals, no nothing. So Bill Bushaman,,who was a chute jumper, he rode in the front seat. And with him was this twenty five hundred pound JATO bottle. Now that JATO bottle, Sammy used on his smoke takeoffs.
But, there was some problems getting over some of the mountain. This was just a little Lycoming, and with this prop here, this fixed prop, it just wouldn't cut it. So I think we were in Rock Springs some place, and they decided they were going to put a metal prop on that thing. That worked better.
But no brakes. When you wanted to stop, you tromped on one rudder, and you slammed that throttle forward and hoped you turn around and stop. Otherwise, you would bail out.
It took us six days to fly back there. And we had a big airshow. And Bill and I were weathered in Wilmington. Finally, we said: "Come on Bill, let's go". We did, we got in, and the airshow was already in progress.
Sammy went out and grabbed us, but they forget to put the wheel skids on. The wing skids so were getting ready to taxi, and takeoff, and Roy Cussack said: "Hey, stop".
Cause I could not get back on the wing without the skids. So, we put them on.
We just had the one show there. And the next day they transported Roy's little glider that Sammy towed behind Sammy's Stearman. All the way back there.
When they got there, they figured it was too much to bring it back, so they shipped it back.
After the wing walking stopped, I was kind of worn out from ferrying and from wing walking. So, I took the test for the police department. So, I finally got on as a police woman, and that was kind of interesting.
(Where?)
Salt Lake City.
(How did you wind up in Salt Lake City?)
Well, George, by that time was with the FAA, and was transferred up here from California. He was an Air Traffic Controller.
(How long were you on the police department?)
Eighteen years. I retired form the police department. I started working for the police department in 1974.
(When were your children born?)
One was born in August 4, 1950, and the other was born the August 4, 1952.
(Pretty good planning)
Well, my doctor said to have them two years a part.
(What made you decide to join the police department?)
I never been much of a secretary type thing. And I thought that would be
(What did you do on the police department?)
I worked runaways. Child neglect, child abuse. Abused women. Mainly in that line. I never really got into, I was a "narc" for a short period of time, but that wasn't my cup of tea. And then I was with auto theft for a while, but then I didn't get along too well, so I was stuck with the youth division. And that was just great. I thought it was fun working with the kids, and the young people. And I particularly liked "shagging" down the runway always that thought they could out smart you, you know. It never worked.
(Did you do any flying after your wing walking days?)
I flew a little after. I took a Cessna to Denver to Houston, Texas. just strictly as transportation for me, but I got paid a little side. I think I made two other trips somewhere. But that's all. I was flown out. We came to Salt Lake City in 1956, and have been here ever since.
(What happened to your husband?)
We parted ways. You know how those things go. Which is all fine and good, and it just didn't work out any more.
(What's been important in you life? How would you view your life?)
I don't know. I had a lot of dreams, and a lot of desires, and a lot of ambitions. A lot of them I succeeded in. Some of them I failed along the way. Some, I lost interest and gave up. But I think if you are determined, you can do just about anything you want to do. Anything. If you have the

Q: List(Of ClassA) contains a List(of ClassB) and in it a string. Check if the new string already exists I have a List(of ClassA) which includes a List(of ClassB). This contains a string called "heading".
I read in a new string using a text box. I want to check if the new string already exists.
My previous code works, but I think it can be done in a more elegant way. I find it a little difficult because I have this class construct. I created a new project for you and only copied the necessary – but reproducible – source code.

    Private the_new_String As String = ""

    End Sub

    Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        For i As Integer = 0 To allA.Count - 1 Step 1
            For j As Integer = 0 To allA(i).allB.Count - 1 Step 1
                If allA(i).allB(j).Heading = the_new_String Then
                    MessageBox.Show($"Diesen Titel gibt es bereits.{NewLine}This title already exists.",

        the_new_String = TextBox1.Text

    Public allB As New List(Of ClassB)

    Public Sub New()
        allB.Add(New ClassB())
    End Sub
End Class

ClassB.vb
Public Class ClassB
    Public Heading As String = "Test"
End Class

A: If allA.Any(Function(a) a.allB.Any(Function(b) b.Heading = the_new_String)) Then
    'The specified text already exists.
End If

A: There's nothing wrong with the nested loop that you have. Anything else you do will ultimately compile down to the same nested loop (although the loop statements would likely be hidden in a Linq function call).  For example, in the other answer posted, each Any call is hiding a loop.
As another alternative, you could consider using SelectMany, which is the Linq routine for flattening a hierarchy.
The result would be,
If allA.SelectMany(Function(a) a.allB.Select(Function(b) b.Heading)) _
       .Any(Function(heading) heading = testString) Then
    'Proposed heading already exists
End If

I believe this would end up with similar algorithmic efficiency to your original code or to the code in the other answer.  SelectMany, Select, and Any should all use deferred execution, so I think it would break out of the implicit nested loop as soon as a match is found without extra iterations.  (It's easy to reason about the set operations that Linq will give you, but it's not necessarily easy to identify the loop complexity that hides behind the statements, especially when some Linq functions will evaluate eagerly and others will defer.)

Vampyr, the game with better story telling narrative but worse combat mechanics
Vampyr is a gloomy and bloodthirsty video game developed by the Dontnod Entertainment, the developers behind the colorful and narrative focused game Life is Strange, even though the game is much different in the genre the storytelling capabilities of the developers is evident throughout the story.
The Action RPG (Role playing game) is based on the Unreal Engine developed by Epic games, the developers had to change some of the mechanics and physics engine in order to fit in the necessary requirements to make the gloomy and sadistic view of the Royal London that is still in sufferings due to the terrible aftermath of the World War I.
The graphical outlook of the game defies the "paint like" colorful outlook of Life is Strange and fills the environment with dark, gloomy colors that have a passive tone to it and magnifies the game in all its juxtaposed bloodthirsty and scientific story.
Story synopsis
The game takes place in England after the World War 1, and you take the role of Dr. Jonathan Reid who is a renowned physician just back from the frontiers of the war. The game starts with the scene when he is getting off the boat and is welcomed by the cold teeth of a vampire who lefts him in a graveyard to suffer the rest of his life.
After waking up, Dr. Raid who is blind due to a massive blood thrust building in his body attacks the first person he sees and quenches his thirst for blood. As soon as his scientific mind gets the glimpse of the things around a pack of Vampire hunters come out of the dark and start chasing him. Thus, starts the never-ending struggle of becoming a human in a body of a beast that causes the player to choose from ending the lives of people and quenching the never-ending thirst or helping them and thus unfolding the story of people living in the area with a price of not getting enough abilities.
With the help of a stranger our protagonist gets out of the trouble of the hunters and starts a night job at a local hospital, and that's where you get to know the Lady Ashbury another Vampire who is trying to hide from the community. Once Raid gets the hang of things he started doing his philanthropic work to help the citizens who are suffering from the epidemic and at the same time trying to find the cure of getting away of the vampirism.
The thing that I liked while playing the game is that the people are not only there to provide the information of the tasks but also everyone that you find interesting packs a story that will uncover the secrets that may help you in your ultimate quest of finding the cure to end his sufferings. Much of the side quest gameplay focuses on the conversations with the patients, hospital employees and the citizens that can be found around the streets. The tasks that are usually assigned requires a complex understanding of the puzzle system that allows you to make certain items for the patients in your laboratory.
The action RPG game is mostly leaned towards the RPG aspect in the spectrum, most of the time during my time in the game I was talking with the people and sometimes I had to make the tougher choices of killing them. The carefully planned environment becomes more intense as the story progresses, and there is a slight intensification in the environment as you make your way through the quests that shows the increase in epidemics and more monsters are lurking around the area than they were in the past, people need help more often, and the tasks become more difficult.
Image: IGN
In terms of the specific gameplay it is impossible for you to survive on your own without blood, but as the story progresses, the thirst becomes subtle and easy to minimize. Every time you decide to help a citizen or do something to cure the epidemic, it adds to the overall health of London that is divided into four main districts helping people of one district will increase its health and thus overall region will be affected.
You can see the stats of the people you have interacted in the menu and see how nourished they are now and how healthy their blood is, and the decision can be made between getting the benefits of the nourished blood by killing that person and his story. The consequences of killing a person are not severed always during my time there was a killer who I helped first and then came to know about the murders he did in the past so getting his blood seemed right at the time.
Another aspect of the gameplay is the irrevocable nature of the game that will make sure that the experience will be original for everyone which is approached by not allowing the players to load a previous save file that may make some of your wrong choices right. I liked this as I am the person who if there is something wrong gets back to the older save file and tries to make the right choice, cons of being a completionist. I can certainly say that I didn't complete the game, but the experience was worthwhile due to this mechanic of the game.
Coming to the least effective part of the game the hack and slash combat mechanism. You have to fight some enemies throughout the game which includes humans, infected animals, Vampire Ware wolfs and the Vampire elites that are your real nemesis, and these are called Skals. I liked the fact that enemies can pop out from the dark environments and it did not felt scripted, but the combat mechanics is very simple.
You need to dodge the opponent's move that will cost some of your stamina and then parry attacks in quick succession, the time that game allow to attack is compact, so you should watch for the stamina bar as it will render you defenseless at times. There are some attacks that cost the blood you get from the environment, the amount of blood is very low, so you have to bite the opponent whenever it is stunned or whenever you managed to attack quite a few times.
The amount of blood that you get from the bite is, however, lower than what you have to spend every time you use your blood attacks. The combat mechanics of the game solidifies our assertion that the game is more inclined towards being an RPG rather than an action RPG.
The story aspect of the game is magnificent, and the fact that you cannot revert to your saved files makes the experience worthwhile. However, there are some glitches that become frequent as you progress through the game, the bugs are minor, but it cannot go unnoticed them.
The combat feels like an RPG game itself that is not necessarily bad, but the satisfaction that one requires by playing the games lacks in this rather simple combat mechanics the crafting system that is the base of every RPG title is also not very thoughtful. The area where the game shines is its storytelling narrative and the consequences that you will face after every choice. I would recommend if RPG is the genre that you like than do spend some time with this game. You can buy this game from Amazon here.

Kyoto In_Ex / Naigai is a large scale music video about the city of Kyoto in the 20th century. Largely focused on the Kyoto train station, it incorporates architecture, dance, music, and text (in Japanese and English) to tell a story about the city's transformation. The work is scored for an ensemble of 8 instrumentalists, playing a mixture of Japanese Gagaku and Western instruments as the video plays. The video dance sequences are created and performed by the experimental dance artist Nicole Bindler.
Wave upon Wave is a new music and video work that is scored for an ensemble of Japanese Gagaku instruments, along with cello and electronics. The work has a dream like quality and explores the connections between the work of Debussy and Takemitsu, using their music as part of a collage of images and sounds in homage to modern Japanese cinema. Selections of traditional Japanese music will round out this program and provide context for how this music has been used as part of Gene Coleman's compositions.

AUS PGA: Rookie Jed Morgan takes stranglehold at Royal Queensland
By Tony Webeck via pga.org.au
Marquee man Min Woo Lee will have to revise his winning score prediction after local member Jed Morgan took a stranglehold of the Fortinet Australian PGA Championship with a stunning second round on Friday.
A member at Royal Queensland Golf Club for the past five years, Morgan has been a professional for less than three months but his course record of eight-under 63 and two-round total of 14-under has thrown down the gauntlet to the more established pros in the field.
The short-priced favourite at the start of the week, Lee suggested on Thursday that 15-under would be a good 72-hole total but Morgan has vowed to keep the foot to the floor over the closing two rounds.
Lee began his second round at 11.30am AEST an astonishing 11 shots off the lead and in need of playing the level of golf that in 2021 elevated him inside the top 50 in the world.
Huge morning for Jed Morgan who has shot a Round 2 score of 8-under to have a 6-shot lead! 😮@Fortinet @visitbrisbane @Visitqueensland @WPGATour #AusPGA #AusWPGA #thisisqueensland #thisisbrisbane #visitbrisbane #brisbaneanyday pic.twitter.com/mmI00C17Bz
— #AusPGA | PGA of Australia (@PGAofAustralia) January 14, 2022
Morgan is more than 1,400 spots lower in the world ranking yet fired a brilliant bogey-free round to open up a seven-shot lead on Friday morning before being trimmed back slightly to six.
Gatton product Andrew Dodt rose into second spot on the back of a five-under par round of 66, one clear of overnight leader Louis Dobbelaar who bounced back after some early struggles to post an even-par round of 71 in the morning wave.
Korean Chang Gi Lee (67) and Queenslanders Anthony Quayle (66) and Jake McLeod (67) also took advantage of the excellent scoring conditions yet they find themselves well back of Morgan with 36 holes left to play.
The Australian PGA Championship record score relative to par is Nick O'Hern's 22-under at Coolum in 2006, but despite already being within eight of that the 22-year-old refused to put a ceiling on what's possible.
"I didn't know that 14 (under) was a number that we could get to through two rounds and I'm there so I won't put a cap on it," Morgan said of what's now possible in terms of a winning score.
"There's no number or cap on it, just got to keep making birdies."
Beginning his second round on the back nine, Morgan was just one-under through six holes but caught fire as he neared the turn.
A birdie at the par-4 16th was followed by a near ace at the short par-3 17th before adding a third in succession at the 18th hole. He birdied the second and fifth holes and both the par 5s on the front nine to put himself in position for a life-changing victory.
"I'm definitely thinking about it. It's pretty hard not to if you're leading," Morgan said of the prospects of lifting the Joe Kirkwood Cup on Sunday.
"That's part of it. There are plenty of guys out here who have thought about winning – no reason why I can't do it.
"I had the experience of yesterday to build on and I built on it. I'm just going to keep going.
"The members and my family are out here cheering me on which is probably the biggest thing.
"I felt that out there again today. There's no way to go other than forwards so you've just got to keep striving and hopefully it falls your way."

Obama Administration Tells North Korea: "Whatevah!"
Via Little Green Footballs… Obama's most important role is to act as Commander in Chief. And so, what does his Defense Secretary do? Declares ahead of time that the United States will not act against a foreign power's threatening actions: Gates: U.S. Not Prepared to Respond to North Korea Missile Launch:
The United States can do nothing to stop North Korea from breaking international law in the next 10 days by firing a missile that is unlikely to be shot down by the U.S. or its allies, Defense Secretary Robert Gates said Sunday.
Appearing on "FOX News Sunday," Gates said North Korea "probably will" fire the missile, prompting host Chris Wallace to ask: "And there's nothing we can do about it?"
"No," Gates answered, adding, "I would say we're not prepared to do anything about it."
Last week, Admiral Timothy Keating, commander of U.S. forces in the Pacific, said the U.S. is "fully prepared" to shoot down the missile. But Gates said such a response is unlikely.
"I think if we had an aberrant missile, one that was headed for Hawaii, that looked like it was headed for Hawaii or something like that, we might consider it," Gates said. "But I don't think we have any plans to do anything like that at this point."
As LGF pointed out, you say that you don't comment on potential actions. You don't say you're not going to do anything, which is just an invitation to action on the part of your enemies.
