Rekorde

Bestehende Rekorde

Der bestehende olympische Rekord wurde bei diesen Spielen nicht erreicht. Die schnellste Zeit erzielte der jamaikanische Olympiasieger Usain Bolt mit 19,32 s im Finale am 9. August bei einem Rückenwind von 0,4 m/s. Damit verfehlte er seinen eigenen Rekord lediglich um zwei Hundertstelsekunden. Zu seinem eigenen Weltrekord fehlten ihm dreizehn Hundertstelsekunden.

Rekordverbesserungen
Es wurden zwei Landesrekorde neu aufgestellt.
 20,93 s – Sibusiso Matsenjwa (Swasiland), dritter Vorlauf am 7. August bei einem Rückenwind von 1,1 m/s
 20,93 s – Álex Quiñónez (Ecuador), sechster Vorlauf am 7. August bei einem Rückenwind von 0,7 m/s

Qualifikationsgrundlagen
Jedes NOK konnte bis zu drei Athleten nominieren, die die von der IAAF festgesetzte Qualifikationszeit von 20,55 Sekunden (A-Standard) bei einer während der Qualifikationszeit abgehaltenen Wettkampf liefen. Sollte kein Athlet eines NOKs den A-Standard schaffen, konnte das betreffende NOK einen Athleten nominieren, der den B-Standard von 20,65 Sekunden geschafft hatte. Unbeachtet der gelaufenen Zeiten konnten die NOKs, deren Athleten weder den A- noch den B-Standard erreichten, einen Sportler nominieren.

Vorläufe
Es wurden sieben Vorläufe durchgeführt. Für das Halbfinale qualifizierten sich pro Lauf die ersten drei Athleten (hellblau unterlegt). Darüber hinaus kamen die drei Zeitschnellsten, die sogenannten Lucky Loser (hellgrün unterlegt), weiter.

Die schnellste in den Vorläufen gelaufene Zeit war 20,28 s in Lauf sechs. Mit dieser Zeit verbesserte der Ecuadorianer Álex Quiñónez den nationalen Rekord. Die langsamste Zeit, die für das Erreichen des Halbfinales erzielt wurde, waren 20,72 s. Mit dieser Zeit erreichten Kei Takase aus Japan und der Kanadier Jared Connaughton in Lauf sieben die nächste Runde.

Für das Finale hatten sich alle drei Jamaikaner qualifiziert. Komplettiert wurde das Starterfeld durch je einen Athleten aus Ecuador, Frankreich, den Niederlanden, Südafrika und den USA.
Der Olympiasieger von 2008 Usain Bolt galt als haushoher Favorit auf dieser Strecke, obwohl er bei den jamaikanischen Olympiaausscheidungen von Yohan Blake besiegt worden war. Bolt gewann in 19,32 s, und als erstem Sportler überhaupt gelang ihm vier Tage nach seinem Sieg über 100 Meter die Wiederholung des olympischen Doubles (Siege über 100- und 200 Meter). Für Bolt war es die insgesamt fünfte olympische Goldmedaille.

Yohan Blake und Warren Weir komplettierten den jamaikanischen Dreifachtriumph. Über 200 Meter erreichten nur 1904, 1932 und 1952 jeweils US-Athleten einen Dreifacherfolg in dieser Disziplin.

Mit 19,44 s lief Blake die schnellste jemals gelaufene Zeit, die nicht zum Sieg reichte. Blake, der auch über 100 Meter die Silbermedaille gewonnen hatte, ist nach dem US-Amerikaner Nate Cartmell (1904) und Frank Fredericks aus Namibia (1992/1996) der dritte Athlet, der bei denselben Olympischen Spielen Silber über 100 und 200 Meter gewann.

Erst zum dritten Mal nach 1980 (als die USA die Spiele boykottierten) und 2000 gab es keine Medaillen für einen US-Athleten in dieser Disziplin bei Olympischen Spielen.

A festive appearance on SVT's Bolibompa...!
Have only just come across this one: SVT Play has a video clip of Salem's appearance on "Bolibompa" which of course is presented by his big brother Nassim. Rather funny clip of Salem playing "Jingle Bells" on a number of musical instruments. OK so kids' TV isn't the most credible thing in the world, but if it gets him some new fans then bring it on!


She's been able to hide her growing tummy at times, but there was no concealing her baby belly in this outfit.
And as Jenna-Dewan Tatum's pregnancy progresses, she seems to be gaining style inspiration from the 60s, spotted in a floor-length frock and denim jacket as she exited Earth Bar in West Hollywood, California on Monday.
But it wasn't just the expectant mother's denim jacket and bright floral maxi that showcased her hippie chic flare.
Flaunting her free spirit, the 32-year-old Step Up star let her hair flow in beach waves, pinned back to avoid her eyes.
But she still covered her face with over-sized sunglasses, reminiscent of the retro era.
Fashion isn't the only noteworthy detail from Jenna's errand in Los Angeles.
The wife of Channing Tatum is clearly making sure she keeps a balanced diet, carrying two smoothies as she left the health food store.
She was also carrying a brown paper bag that was absent from her arrival snapshot, suggesting that she possibly bought some nutritional treats or supplements to take home with her.
Aside from eating right, Jenna's been maintaining an active lifestyle throughout her pregnancy.
Last week, she took her two dogs for a rigorous walk at Runyon Canyon, and her aerobic activities aren't going unnoticed.
'You know she works out all of the time, eats right, impeccably right,' her husband revealed to E! news.
The happy couple met on the set of Step Up in 2006, wed in 2009, and announced in December that they are expecting their first child later this year.

Know Harper Vivienne Ann Lockwood - Lisa Marie Presley's Daughter With Michael Lockwood
Published Thu Jan 02 2020 By DGM
Harper Vivienne Ann Lockwood is the daughter of the famous American singer and songwriter, Lisa Marie Presley and her ex-husband, guitarist Michael Lockwood. Born on 7 October 2008, in the United States, she is one-half of the twins that the estranged couple had from their marriage.
The name 'Harper' is a feminine name derived from English origin which translates to 'harp player'. As for the name 'Vivienne', it is a French name for girls meaning 'life'. And the name 'Ann' also translates to 'grace' according to Hebrew literature. Here are some facts about her:
Twin Sister - Finley Aaron Love Lockwood
The cute daughter of Michael has a twin sister named Finley Aaron Love Lockwood from her parents. She and Finley are identical twins and are always together whether it be going to school or enjoying holidays together. They just don't seem to let go off each other and are often attached to their mamma.
Half-Siblings
Finley isn't the only sister of Harper, she has two elder half-siblings: sister Riley Keough and brother Benjamin Keough from Lisa's previous marriage with singer Danny Keough.
Riley is a renown professional actress, model, and producer and Benjamin is also a successful actor and singer.

Carries Great-Grandmother's Name
Harper is named after her great-grandmother, Ann Beaulieu whose real name was Anna Lillian Iversen. Yes, her third name Ann is kept after Lisa's grandmother. It is quite thoughtful of her parents for naming her after her great-grandma. Not only her, but her twin sister Finley also carries the name 'Aaron' from their grandfather, Elvis' name.
Calls Grandma 'Nona'
Priscilla Presley, who has gone under the knife several times, has made her twin granddaughters call her 'Nona'. It is because the singer didn't like them call her 'grandmother' or 'grandma'. So, she thought of having an alternate name 'Nona' which her grandchildren would used to call her. She has also said that she prefers the name more than any other similar words like 'granny'.
Heartfelt Happy Birthday Wish by Grandma
Last year, in October 2018, Harper Vivienne Ann Lockwood and her sister got the warmest birthday wish they could ever wish for. Their nona, Priscilla, posted an adorable picture on her Instagram account wishing a heartfelt 11th happy birthday to them. The picture read 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY' with very bright and colorful fonts. Not only that, Presley also wrote in the caption saying 'Happy Birthday Harper and Finley. I Love You, Nona'.

It matters a lot for Harper and her sister because their mother, Lisa, didn't wish them on social media but their nona did. This, without doubt, proves how deeply Priscilla loves her granddaughters.
Parents' Net Worth
Harper's mother, Lisa, has an estimated net worth of -$16 million after she squandered the $100 million fortune of her late father, Elvis Presley in bad investments. She recently said that all she has left is $14,000 cash. Talking about Michael, his father, he holds a whopping fortune of $3 million which he has managed to accumulate from his career as a guitarist and musician.
Parents' Relationship
Harper Vivienne Ann Lockwood's parents were married for over a decade as they married on January 22, 2006 and divorced in 2016. The reason behind their split is somehow confusing because Michael accused Lisa of substance and drugs use before their divorce.
While Presley stated that Lockwood was also somehow involved in laying waste to her $100 million fortune, the couple's divorce became very heated.

Let's take milk as an example, of which whey protein is derived. When taken from mass-produced, battery cows that are fed only grains and animal by-products (ABPs - any part of an animal not intended for human consumption), it contains very low levels of nutrients as well as traces of steroids and antibiotics.
Cows with a nutritionally deficient diet, living in an unhealthy environment and injected with antibiotics and steroids to force them to produce more milk, will not produce a product of the same quality as an animal which is raised drug-free in lush green fields. Not to mention the morality of giving cows a good and pleasant quality of life.
As the health and diet of cows improve, so does the bio-availability and the nutrient profile of their milk, which in turn produces superior whey protein.
Biologically, cows get all the nutrients they need from grass and foliage alone. These nutrients are then passed on into the milk which travels through to the whey, the product of which we can absorb all the goodness.
At Primal Organics we hold both the EU organic certificate and the organic farmer's certificate, confirming that our whey protein is of the highest quality. We choose to be organic because we believe everything we do should be to the highest standard.

The Kuwait Petroleum Corporation, KPC, and its affiliates plan to ratchet up free gas production capacity to 510 million cubic feet and increase light oil output to 200 thousand barrels per day, bpd, by December, a Kuwaiti senior official said on Wednesday, as quoted by Kuwait News Agency, KUNA.
Speaking to the press, Minister of Oil Essam Al-Marzouq said that the capacity would be enhanced through three production units to be configured soon, all of which will churn out 100 cubic feet of free gas and 40,000 bpd of light oil.
Al-Marzouq, who doubles as the Minister of Electricity and Water, pointed out that Kuwait has collaborated with reputable gas exploration and production companies to help meet the country's rising need for natural gas, as temperatures soar during summer.
He added that Kuwait, through co-operation with staunch ally Saudi Arabia, was "eager to develop its gas fields in order to boost production capacity."

Mmaphefo Lucy Matsemela (born 11 June 1968), commonly known as Wendy Matsemela, is a South African politician who was Member of the Executive Council (MEC) for Education in the North West from May 2019 to December 2022. She represented the African National Congress (ANC) in the National Assembly from 2004 to 2009 and in the North West Provincial Legislature from 2009 to 2022. While in the provincial legislature, she served almost continuously in the North West Executive Council, excepting two gaps from 2010 to 2013 and from 2016 to 2018. She resigned from the provincial legislature in December 2022 after Premier Bushy Maape fired her as an MEC.

Early life and career
Matsemela was born on 11 June 1968 in the village of Magong, an area that now forms part of Moses Kotane in the North West province. She was the tenth of thirteen siblings. In 1987, she matriculated at Tshukudu High School and began work in the retail sector and then as a temporary teacher. She subsequently enrolled at North-West University, where she became politically active in the student representative council and South African Students Congress. After graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in education in 1996, she became a professional teacher and a member of the South African Democratic Teachers Union (SADTU). She also rose through the regional and provincial ranks of the African National Congress (ANC) and its Youth League (ANCYL), ultimately securing election as ANCYL Secretary in the Bojanala region and ANC Chairperson in the Rustenberg region.

Political career
In 2005, Matsemela left teaching to represent the ANC in the National Assembly, the lower house of the South African Parliament, where she served for four years. Pursuant to the 2009 general election, she was elected to the North West Provincial Legislature, and on 8 May 2009, Maureen Modiselle, the newly elected Premier of the North West, appointed her to the North West Executive Council as Member of the Executive Council (MEC) for Economic Development and Tourism.

On 25 November 2010, after less than two years in the Executive Council, Matsemela was fired by Modiselle's successor, Thandi Modise. She remained an ordinary Member of the Provincial Legislature until 27 June 2013, when Modise announced that she would return to the Executive Council as MEC for Education and Training; she succeeded Louisa Mabe, who had been implicated in procurement irregularities in the portfolio.

Matsemela was re-elected to her legislative seat in the 2014 general election, ranked seventh on the ANC's party list in the North West. Supra Mahumapelo, who was elected Premier in the same election, appointed her to his new Executive Council as MEC for Education and Sports Development. On 8 May 2016, Mahumapelo announced that he had fired Matsemela and replaced her with Sello Lehari. She remained a Member of the Provincial Legislature, and in December 2018 she was returned to the Executive Council by Mahumapelo's successor, Job Mokgoro, who appointed her MEC for Finance, Economy and Enterprise Development.

In the 2019 general election, Matsemela was ranked tenth on the ANC's party list and was re-elected to the provincial legislature; she was appointed MEC for Education in Mokgoro's new Executive Council. However, Mokgoro's successor as Premier, Bushy Maape, announced in November 2022 that Matsemela would be replaced as MEC on 7 December 2022. On 6 December, she tendered her immediate resignation from the provincial legislature. Sources told City Press that she had resigned because of her demotion from the Executive Council, possibly because she felt that she was being punished for supporting Cyril Ramaphosa, who that month was running for re-election as ANC president at the party's 55th National Conference.

(NASDAQ:ESPR) Esperion Therapeutics, Inc. peaked out and closed at $48.90, way up from about $10 where it sat last August, but way below its all-time high of $107.51 in spring 2015. Still, ESPR has been on a good run since about January, but especially since June, probably based on positive news coming out on various stages of ongoing clinical trials. ESPR is a pharmaceutical company based in Ann Arbor, MI and dedicated pretty much exclusively to developing non-statin LDL cholesterol drugs with safer profiles and fewer side effects than the statins currently on the market.
ESPR Esperion Therapeutics Inc. has an interesting history, having been acquired by Phizer in 2004 for $1.3Bn in order to get sole possession of an experimental statin called ETC-216 and prevent their competitors from obtaining it. Esperion was founded by Dr. Roger Newton, the man responsible for co-discovering the Lipitor molecule, a statin drug and the most prescribed medication in the history of pharmaceuticals. Phizer eventually killed off the research and ESPR was re-acquired by Dr. Newton after he raised the capital to buy the rights to the name and to their other experimental compound, ETC-1002, which is also a novel cholesterol treatment based on the biological properties of bempedoic acid, which is converted to ETC-1002-CoA in the human liver and, through a sequence of reactions, results in the liver's removal of LDL-C from the blood.
ESPR has pushed bempedoic acid in 18 completed Phase 1 and Phase 2 clinical studies and it is currently being evaluated in four other Phase 3 LDL efficacy and safety studies, along with one cardiovascular outcomes trial. Their pipeline consists solely of Bempedoic Acid (once daily pill) and a combination of Bempedoic Acid and Ezetimibe (once daily pill) which itself just began Phase 3 trials.
ESPR stock price has fluctuated greatly in the past 52-week period with a range of $9.40 to $57.38 and earlier in August they announced an underwritten offering of 3,100,000 shares to the public at $49.00 per with the goal of continuing to finance the previously mentioned clinical trials for the two drugs in their pipeline. There's lots of detailed technical information out there on these trials, but suffice it to say that if any one or a combination of them are unqualified successes, they could be looking at blockbuster status on par with or even bigger than Lipitor and of course a huge uptick in value. Results are somewhat far off, however, with expected announcements after the completion of the studies in Q2 and Q3 2018 and various bridging studies yet to begin. Of note, ESPR's R&D budget for the first six months of 2017 was $74.1M compared to $19.5M for the same period in 2016.
We think this makes ESPR an intriguing investment. With the FDA having approved an abbreviated regulatory pathway to the bempedoic acid/ezetimibe combination, and a looming New Drug Application anticipated after the studies are concluded in 2018, this stock may take a slight dive in the next few weeks, but rally significantly toward its $107.51 all-time high by the end of 2018.

Q: How would someone make their own programming language So i'm trying to make my own Programming Language but don't really know how. I have looked it up but people say try using Python to make it, well i mean how do you make your own language like to use python you would have to Install it, Well to use my language you would have to install it aswell. How would someone make it also add Syntax Highlighting. I have tried making it in Lua and i'm not to Successful
I'm not able to make everything like that, and i also wanna have my own custom Syntax Highlighting but choose the colors like this
Syntax = {
log/Log/LOG = Blue; -- Print Function
bringback = Red; -- return function
}
function ByteText(...)
 string.Byte(...)
end
function CustomFunctionsName(data)
Do(Data)
end
So i'm kinda successfull in this but i don't want it running of Lua i don't mind using a Lua api or c# or python api but i just want to learn how to make it customly like how did python and LOLCODE make their own languages? I wan't to make it like that LOLCODE's functions are so random and i wanna make it Customly and my own way just like them, If someone can Explain that would be amazing <3

A: You don't say why you'd want to write your own language when there are plenty available, but to answer your question....
Start by searching "language parsers" in your favorite search engine.
Learn about language parsing itself.  If you're still interested after that (and it isn't an easy topic if you intend to write something from scratch) you should be able to figure out where to go next.

P.S.
Your first worry is only about what your language will accomplish and what grammar it will support.  Stuff like syntax highlighting isn't something to worry about until after your language is written and can compile itself.

Railroads in the Civil War
Prior to the Civil War in this country, railroads were a new and relatively untried invention. However, during the rebellion, railroads came of age. They became both strategic resources, as well as a military targets, precisely because they were strategic resources. During the war, soldiers, material and food were routinely transported by rail along with civilians and the raw material necessary to keep the war effort progressing. It was soon realized that the railroads would help to make or break the Union in this conflict which was so bloody that the combined total of all U.S. losses in all other wars would not equal the losses in that war.
When the war began, there were approximately nineteen million people living in the United States. Of these, nine million were living in the South, of which three and one-half million were in bondage. The South was largely an agrarian society dependent on cash crops such as tobacco and cotton and, to a lesser extent, staple crops to feed its peoples and armies. Two-thirds of the rail miles and four-fifths of the manufacturing power of the entire nation were located in states loyal to the cause of the Union. In all of the states which attempted to leave the Union, there was only one plant which could reclaim rail which was bent into what became known as "Sherman's Bowties." The South was at a distinct disadvantage in men, material, transportation and productive abilities.
There were more than two hundred railroads in existence at the start of the war. The majority of rail lines were found in those states which remained loyal to the national government. Most of these rails were four feet eight and one-half inches apart. By contrast, the South had only about one-third the mileage in the North and the gauges of the rails varied widely. This meant that the North could transport more troops and material to more places with less transfers due to gauge differences than the South. The South immediately realized the potential of railroads and used the rails it had to transport troops from one part not under attack to support fellow troops in a threatened area. The North was not so quick to learn this lesson.
An example of this is the First Battle of Bull Run in the summer of 1861. A large and unprepared Union Army under the command of General McDowell moved south out of Washington D.C. towards the rail center of Manassas astride the tributary known as Bull Run. A smaller and equally unprepared southern force under the command of General P.G.T. Beauregard blocked this advance ultimately aimed at Richmond, the Confederate capitol. The Northern forces were defeated when Generals Joseph Johnson and Thomas J. (Stonewall) Jackson arrived from the Shenandoah Valley with their armies. This concentration of secessionist forces was achieved by transporting these troops to the battle by rail.
The South was to employ this tactic for the rest of the war. The South could not politically afford to abandon any territory to the North and was therefore required to spread its limited number of troops to cover the numerous approaches to its territory which could be used for an enemy advance. Then when one area was under attack, the troops would come, usually by rail, from an area not currently threatened.
When Ulysses S. Grant was promoted to Lieutenant General and given command of all Union forces, he understood the advantage the South had in its interior lines of supply and the part railroads played. As long as the North squandered its resources in uncoordinated attacks upon the Confederacy, the rebels would be able to transport troops from one area to another in order to halt any Union advance. By applying pressure to all points of the South, advances could be made in more than one place and, in those areas where national troops could not advance against the secessionists forces because of their numbers, the loyal troops would be able to keep the rebels occupied and unable to reinforce other rebel units. As Grant said in his memoirs, those who could not skin could help by holding a leg.
At the beginning of the hostilities, the northern railroads did not contribute as they should have to the Union war effort. Most railroad executives were more concerned about the rates for transporting war material and the profits they would make due to the high demand for their services than they were for the welfare of the Union. For a period of time after the South fired on Fort Sumter, which initiated the war, miles of track ripped up by Confederate raiders were left in a state of disrepair and, while boxes of food and ammunition sat on sidings, railroad executives haggled with army officers over the cost of transporting the goods. Lincoln's Secretary of War, Simon Cameron, who was a prominent investor in numerous railroads, was forced to resign because of his profiteering by manipulation of the rates the War Department would pay for the transportation of its soldiers and material. Such corruption in the rail industry prompted the enactment of the Railways and Telegraph Act of January 31, 1862. This legislation enabled the President to take possession of railroads and run them as required to preserve public safety. The War Department would supervise any railroads taken over by the government. This act was the precedent for the United States Railway Administration of World War I and government influence on railroads in World War II.
Few northern railroads were seized under the act but those that were seized were organized into the United States Military Railroad (U.S.M.R.R.). The railroads, faced with this tough legislation, immediately fell in line to aid in the Union war effort for fear of being seized. Profiteering and corruption immediately fell off and trains began to move in an expedient way. Southern railroads, however, were routinely impressed into the service of the national government whenever Southern territory was taken by Union troops. For a short time, during the invasion by the Army of Northern Virginia into Pennsylvania, some Northern railroads were seized to adequately and efficiently deal with the threat posed by General Lee.
In order to deal with rebel attacks on Union rail lines, the North set up garrisons along rail lines to guard depots and bridges. In addition, large stockpiles of railroad materials were gathered in certain areas to be rushed to a damaged area so that repairs could quickly and efficiently be completed. The national government went so far as to have pre-fabricated bridges made of wood in these stockpiles. General Herman Haupt, the Union's brilliant and innovative chief of construction and transportation, is the one who initiated the stockpiling of pre-fabricated parts. In addition, he used ferries to transport loaded rail cars to Aquia Creek and his successor did the same thing at City Point so as to reduce the time normally associated with loading rail cars transporting them to the wharf, unloading the cars and then loading the barges for transfer to the next port where the process was reversed.
At the same time that railroads were recognized as benefits to the war effort, the military leaders also recognized them as great targets for destruction. General Nathan Bedford Forrest successful destroyed General Ulysses S. Grant's supply line, the Mississippi and Tennessee Railroad, South of Memphis when he first attempted to take Vicksburg. General Grant, lacking the necessary supplies, retreated to Memphis and, in order to feed his troops, ordered them to forage off of the land. When Generals Grant and Sherman again attacked Vicksburg the following year, they destroyed all five railroads which serviced both Jackson, Mississippi and Vicksburg. This prevented the easy transportation of troops and supplies by the rebels to the scene of the battle. By the time the troops and supplies arrived in the vicinity of Vicksburg, Grant's troops were too strongly entrenched and anchored to be dislodged from the stranglehold they had on the city.
After the Battle of Chickamauga, when the tables were turned and Union troops were besieged in Chattanooga, Grant used the railroads help to reinforce and supply his beleaguered troops who were half starved. This quick action by the railroads saved the Union garrison, allowed Grant to launch his brilliant battle to lift the siege and prepare the springboard from which General Sherman would undertake his March to the Sea.
General Sherman trained ten thousand troops in railroad repair before he left the vicinity of Chattanooga to begin his attack on Atlanta. He understood that his lines of supply would be under attack by local guerrillas and possibly organized Confederate units. Then, when he began the famous March to the Sea, his troops were so adept at repair of the tracks that the rail lines would often be in service within a day or two if not the same day.
When General Sherman cut loose of his supply line after the fall of Atlanta and continued the march to Savannah these same troops turned their abilities to the destruction of the railroads. The troops would pile up all of the ties from a stretch of track and place on top of these piles the rails taken from the same stretch of track. The pyre would then be set aflame and the rails would soon begin to glow red at the centers. The troops would then pick a rail up off the fire and take it to the nearest tree to bend the rail around the tree and, for added difficulty, twist the rail. They did all of this knowing the South had only one plant which could undo the destruction they had done to the rails. These actions crippled the ability of the South to react to Sherman's trek through the Georgia countryside and state capitol, as well as tax the ability of the South's shrinking industrial base to produce new rail and repair the old. General Sherman employed these same tactics when he left Savannah for his march through the Carolinas.
When General Grant began the siege of Richmond and Petersburg, two cities close to each other, he set up an enormous rail depot at City Point from which he provisioned his army. Without the miles of track, engines and rolling stock, Grant would have had to supply his troops with numerous wagons pulled teams of horses managed by teamsters which would have required more forage for the horses and more food for the teamsters. It is possible that General Grant may not have been able to continue his hold on the cities of Richmond and Petersburg if the railroads had not been built to carry supplies from the harbor at City Point to his troops at the front.
As this article demonstrates, the railroads were a new strategic weapon which enabled the North to defeat the South and thus preserve the Union and put an end to slavery. Without the railroads contribution to the war effort, the conflict would have been much different and cost many more lives than the devastating war actually took.

Profile of Mare Winningham on Famous Like Me
Name: Mare Winningham
Place of Birth: Phoenix, Arizona, USA
Profession: Actress
Mare Winningham (born May 16, 1959 in Phoenix, Arizona, USA) is an American film and television actress.
Mare Winningham began her entertaining career as a struggling singer-songwriter. In 1976 she got her break singing the John Lennon-Paul McCartney composition "Here, There, and Everywhere" on "The Gong Show." Though Winningham received no record contracts as result of the appearance, she was offered a role on the short-lived pioneer drama "The Young Pioneers." Though the series ended with just three episodes being broadcast, a number of television projects followed.
In 1980 Winningham won a Best Supporting Actress Emmy Award for her role in the critically acclaimed Amber Waves, a TV movie about a rough farmer (Dennis Weaver) who finds he is dying of cancer. She appeared in the epic miniseries "The Thorn Birds" in 1983 and starred as Helen Keller in 1984's Helen Keller: The Miracle Continues.
Winningham broke into film in 1985's St. Elmo's Fire as one of the original "brat pack" alumni. Despite the film's success, she refused to cash in on her teen idol status, and returned to television in the Emmy nominated Hallmark Hall of Fame movie, Love Is Never Silent. Mare finished the 80s with two Hollywood films, the nuclear disaster drama Miracle Mile (1988) and the Tom Hanks vehicle Turner & Hooch in 1989.
The early 90s brought a number of forgettable television projects as Winningham took a break to be with her husband, William Maple, and four children, Riley, Paddy, Jack, and Calla. She had married Maple in 1983. She returned to film for 1994's all-star Wyatt Earp and the family drama The War, both starring Kevin Costner.
1995 brought Georgia, a thoughtful character study of two sisters (Winningham and Jennifer Jason Leigh), which earned Winningham both a Golden Globe and Academy Award nomination. Two years later, she starred opposite Gary Sinise in George Wallace, for which she garnered another Golden Globe nomination and won an Emmy Award.
Since then she made acclaimed appearances on the series "ER" and "Law and Order: SVU," as well as appearances in the 2001 television project Sally Hemmings, opposite Sam Neill and the short-lived David E. Kelley series "The Brotherhood of Poland, New Hampshire." Winningham's most recent project is the independent film Dandelion, which was a staple of film festivals worldwide between 2003 and 2004 and is set for a limited American release in October of 2005.
Though born an Irish Catholic, she is now a fairly devout convert to Judaism.

What happens when an MIT-caliber concept like computational origami is brought to Worcester's public schools? The answer, perhaps the largest modular origami construction ever built, will be on display on Dec. 31 at First Night's YOUcubed exhibit at the Worcester Art Museum.
"Union Station is Worcester's castle," says First Night Executive Director Joyce Kressler. One of the aims of First Night is to "bring the community together through the universal language of the arts. The arts are transformative," she says. But there is more than art at work (or play) here, as math, physics, architecture and computer engineering all figure into this equation.
The engineer behind YOUcubed is Dr. Jeannine Mosely, an Illinois native who has lived in the Boston area for thirty years. Her Ph.D. in electrical engineering from MIT included work on communications protocols and technology that have become part of today's cell phone networks, and algorithms that are essential to current-day computer networks. For those of us who rather happily left mathematics behind in high school, suffice it to say that curvilinear equations and fractals lie behind Dr. Mosely's current area of specialization. After hearing Mosely speak at the Peabody Essex Museum, Kressler initiated the collaboration between Mosely and the Worcester schools. Dr. Mosely is "able to teach to whatever level" of student, says Kressler. That ability has proven indispensable, since students from the third to eighth grade from 20 classrooms and 15 schools have become involved in the project.
Assisting Mosely are 20 WPI students serving as ambassadors, overseeing the work done in the classrooms by both students and teachers, and giving feedback to Mosely and Kressler.
The 21st Century After-school Program offers both curriculum enrichment and academic instruction 12 hours a week, 32 weeks a year, with a goal of improving students' MCAS scores. Since the beginning of October, students have been working on the YOUcubed project. "The kids are loving it," says Program Coordinator Barbara Sargent. "Jeannine is a great role model for the girls." The Worcester Art Museum, the Ecotarium, Broad Meadow, Berg Florist (giving instruction in plant science) and others have partnered with the 21st Century Program in the past.
The project is like "a computer age quilt," says Kressler. Mosely, who plans to be on hand for First Night, both at the Art Museum and sampling other events as well, adds that YOUcubed is contributing to "a new generation of students able to think creatively." Participating students and their parents get free First Night Buttons.
First Night Worcester is asking the public for donations of $10 and six business cards by Dec. 15. Van/Go Graphics of Millbury has supplied recycled business cards to the project, but the ultimate need is for 100,000 of them.

Sometimes God wakes us up – both literally and figuratively.
Sometimes God wants a little extra amount of our attention given to him and to his plan so he wakes us up in the middle of the night.
And we can't get back to sleep.
But it could be God.
So my go-to solution for these sleepless nights (if the problem isn't my stomach), is to pray and listen. I meditate on what God has been saying to me lately…and pray….and listen…and pray….and fall asleep.
The next morning I often wake up with a new understanding about what God is doing or directions for the next step in his plan for my life.
God did this same thing with King Xerxes and we read about it in the book of Esther. The king couldn't sleep so he asked for the record of his reign to be read to him. (This sounds like a real snoozer!) And God reminded the king that nothing had been done to honor Mordecai who had exposed a conspiracy to assassinate the king. The king wanted to take care of this situation and so the plot of the story thickens.
Has God woken you up lately?
Try the 'pray….. listen….meditate…..pray' thing and let me know how it works.
Thank you, dear Father, for the guidance you give us….in the middle of the night.

European Travels 4 – From Utrecht to Lake Constance
Traveling to and exploring Lake Constance
In an earlier post, I wrote about Dutch Canal Boating. After a fun trip around Dutch rivers and canals, we said goodbye to our American friends. We then began the next stage of our European travels.
In the Dutch city of Utrecht, we boarded one of the fabulous European Intercity trains. It took us through Cologne and along the Rhine River to Basel. There we changed to a regional train.
On previous train trips we had always regretted that we could not access our website or google sights we passed by (without depleting our phone data allotments!) This time we still had our Webspot pocket WIFI we had rented for canal cruising.
We were also able to follow our train route on the iPad map and find information about the various castles we passed along the Rhine.
In Basel, the Rhine bends sharply to the east and for long stretches makes a natural border between Germany and Switzerland.
Initially, the train tracks follow the Rhine River Valley. At dusk we passed the well-known "Rheinfall of Schaffhausen" - the waterfalls of the Rhine at the Swiss town of Schaffhausen. (German students, don't forget to note the spelling of "Rheinfall" versus "Reinfall"! The latter means "letdown, failure, flop, disaster." It is often used in wordplays with its sound-alike cousin.)
Überlingen at Lake Constance
Our destination that day was the city of Überlingen, located on one of the two major arms of the "Bodensee", (Lake Constance). (In Überlingen we met up with my sister, who had come from Switzerland.)
I had last been in Überlingen as a young boy with my parents. And while there was little that I recognized from that time, I vividly remembered climbing the bell tower of the St. Nikolaus Cathedral with my father. (see picture) As we neared the top, the huge bells suddenly started to ring, scaring me both with their powerful sounds and the vibrations they generated in the tower.
A good part of the city, including our hotel, is located on a sandstone cliff overlooking the lake. The 100 steps of the "Teufelstreppe" (Devil's Stairs) made it less than a 10 minute walk down to the lake. There, we found a "Promenade," a wide walkway along the lake, leading to the town center with its restaurants, cafés, ship wharves, etc.
We were told that Überlingen has become one of Germany's favorite retirement destinations. That also makes it on of the oldest cities in Germany (in reference to the age of its inhabitants). The "seniors" we saw strolling down the Promenade, sitting in cafés, riding their bikes, or waiting to board a ship, all looked fit and active to us. (see picture)
While we were sitting in one of the cafés, we were surprised to see many bikers board a ship. We found out that there are several bicycle organization that organize tours along the "Bodensee-Radweg" (Lake Constance-bicycle path). It calls itself "Europa's beliebtester Radweg" (Europe's favorite bicycle path).
We often took advantage of the wonderful, warm fall weather and enjoyed people-watching while sitting in one of the many outside restaurants. There, we couldn't help but overhear conversations in various German dialects spoken at nearby tables.
Some German Dialects
Überlingen is located in Baden-Württemberg, the third-largest German state, which has close to 11 million in habitants. Stuttgart is its capital and largest city.
Two distinct dialects are spoken in the state, with various variants: the Alemannic dialect of Swabian and Franconian. Swabian is spoken in the southern part of Baden-Württemberg, up to the border of the neighboring state, Bavaria. Franconian is spoken in the west/northwest along the Rhine including in Mannheim and Heidelberg.
[Note also: The Swiss German language is another variant of the Alemannic dialect. And, Franconian can also be heard in the northern parts of Bavaria [Germany's largest state], around Nuremberg, Bamberg, etc. The most recognizable dialect of the state of Bavaria is Austro-Bavarian, spoken in the southeast of the state and reaching beyond the border into Austria in a continuum of local and regional variants.]
We also heard the very distinct Saxon dialects from regions around Leipzig and Dresden.
And how could I forget the Hessian dialect, spoken around Frankfurt and Bad Nauheim (the city where I spent most of my school years, and subject of an earlier post: Where "Bad" does not mean "bad"...)
You can see the various German dialects on the chart.
Der Bodensee
The Bodensee, or Lake Constance is the largest lake in Germany and Austria. It is only a little smaller than Lake Geneva, Europe's largest lake, located on the border of Switzerland and France.
Lake Constance is also the huge water reservoir which feeds the Rhine, the second longest European river after the Danube.
The Rhine River begins in the Swiss canton of Graubünden in the southeastern Swiss Alps, enters Lake Constance at its eastern Swiss/Austrian border and then leaves it again near Konstanz from the Lower Lake. (Note: It's the town of Konstanz/Constance which gave the Bodensee its English name.)
I have fond memories of the Bodensee, where I started first grade in the town of Friedrichshafen. It was in there that Ferdinand von Zeppelin established the first factory to build his famous dirigibles, the Zeppelins, around 1900. I remember going fishing on the lake with my grandfather.
Later, a sailing trip on the lake with my father, as we ghosted by the Mainau (see picture) at night, made me fall in love with sailing. On clear days you can see the Alps in the background, as in this photo.
This time, Ulrike and I took advantage of sunny weather and took several trips with the Bodensee's "Weiße Flotte," the White Fleet of motor ships, with which you can explore the lake.
There are also two car ferries to take you across the lake: (1) Between Meersburg and Constance and (2) Between Friedrichshafen and Romanhorn (Switzerland). On this Bodensee-Schifffahrt site – yes, the word is spelled with three "f's" - you can download the "Fahrplan" (schedule) for the various seasons.
Our first lake trip took us to the Island of Mainau.
The Mainau
I visited the island first as a young teenager and remember that I was fascinated by its history. The island has changed owners many times over the centuries.In early years, it belonged to the Order of Teutonic Knights. Then, after falling into private hands, it was purchased in 1853 by Grand Duke Frederick I of Baden to serve as a summer palace.
Later, through inheritance, the island fell to the Swedish Prince Wilhelm, who in 1932, gave it to his only son, Lennart Bernadotte. He then owned it until 1974, when he transferred it to a foundation.
Currently, Lennart's oldest daughter Sonja and her brother Björn Bernadotte are managing the property. The island is a flowering paradise. Over 30,000 rose bushes of more than 1,200 varieties grow there, and many other kinds of flowers.
We were there at the time of a dahlia exhibition. Walking through the gardens, we saw stunning arrangements by local garden shops, which where competing for the exhibition honor roll.
The island attracts more than 1 million visitors a year and it serves as a favorite destination for weddings.
Another car trip took took us to the town of Meersburg.
Meersburg is located on the eastern shore of Lake Constance, at the midpoint between Überlingen and Friedrichshafen. We visited the Old Castle, which towers over the town, and learned that it is still the oldest inhabited fortress in Germany. (There is also a Baroque New Castle.)
The guide, dressed in a medieval costume, took us through the part of the castle that is open to the public and now a museum. It included the Knight's Hall (see picture), the Arm's Hall, the dungeon, etc.
She told us much about the castle's history and the various legends surrounding it. The castle dates back to the 7th century and the Merovigians under King Dagobert I.
In 1268, it became the seat of the Bishop of Constance until the bishops built the New Castle at the beginning of the 18th century.The Old Castle then came under the control of the Grand Duchy of Baden. The collector and business man Joseph von Laßberg purchased it in 1838.
For German literature enthusiasts, the castle is also noteworthy as the sister of Laßberg's wife, the famous poet Annette von Droste-Hülshoff, lived there the last 8 years of her life.
In 1877, Karl Mayer von Mayerfels purchased the castle and established the Medieval Museum. His descendants still live in the building during the summer months.
As in many of the towns along the Bodensee, there is a Promenade along the lake with pleasant cafés and restaurants. The small streets and squares bustle with boutiques, shops, and street merchants.
We just happened pass through when grapes were unloaded at the local winery. That was a colorful spectacle.
Other Sights along the Bodensee
There are many other places along the Bodensee that are worth a visit. I still remember the little town of Unteruhldingen where I visited the "Pfahlbaumuseum" (Stilt-Hause Museum) during my childhood. The stories the guides told us at the time were fascinating
This time, we did not visit the rebuilt village, but we could see the stilt houses from the ship as we docked (see picture). I've already mentioned Friedrichshafen. Wile more of an industrial city (heavily bombarded during World War II because of its airplane and bomb factories), the modern Dornier aerospace museum shows the various Dornier airplane models, engines, satellites, and products of the Airbus Group.
The historic town of Lindau is located on a small island connected by a dam to a strip of land that allows Bavaria access to Lake Constance. The Lindau harbor entrance with the light house and its Bavarian Lion statue (see picture) is a beautiful sight. I remember it well from my youth when we entered or left the harbor on one of the white ships.
Traveling just a few miles further southeast, you'll enter Austria and will have reached the end of the lake in Bregenz, the capital of the Austrian state of Vorarlberg.
If you are an opera lover and happen to be there during the months of July and August, be sure not to miss the Bregenzer Festspiele. Most memorable will certainly be a performance on a floating stage in the open-air amphitheater. (But be sure to reserve your tickets early!)
On the other side of the lake, right on the border to Switzerland, lies Konstanz (Constance), a lively university town and for over 1200 years the seat of Catholic bishops.(See photo of Constance, with aview of the "Untersee" and continuation of the Rhine) The city has an interesting history.
Konstanz was refused entrance into the Swiss Confederacy in 1460, then joined the Swabian league and became part of the German Empire in 1871.
The city avoided being bombed during World War II by a clever ruse – it left the lights on and allied bombers could not distinguish it from neighboring Swiss towns. The large and well-preserved "Altstadt" (Old town) is dominated by the "Münster" (Cathedral).
Our stay in Überlingen and our various excursions along the lake brought back many vivid memories from my childhood and later vacations at the Bodensee. We can see why this region has become a favorite place in Germany for retirees. Austria and Switzerland are only a boat ride away. The cultural offerings in the nearby towns and cities are amazing. There are many things to see and do in each of the seasons.

Unusual Turn In High Stakes Poker Game Leads To Fatal Gunpoint Robbery →
William Hill Goes Australian With Pokies, Poker, and More
March 19, 2014 by Shawn Libro
The history of online/video games is changing rapidly with recent actions by William Hill.
William Hill dominates the British gaming circuit when it comes to online gaming including the likes of online mobile games, poker, slots, pokies, keno, blackjack, and card games. The company got a lot bigger with its recent purchase of Australian online mega-corporation Tom Waterhouse NT. Paying more than A$110 million, or $34 million US and $64 million British pounds, William Hill also took on Waterhouse's company debt.
The transaction makes William Hill Online Betting Australia's top online sports betting presence. Company leaders pledged to put more into the Australian company and create even better online games. William Hill officials have promised to invest more than A$70 million and have guaranteed A$10 million in investment in 2014 and A$30 million next year.
This acquisition adds to William Hill's already significant Australian holdings. The company was operating Centrebet and recently took over Tabcorp Holdings Ltd. from Sportingbet PLC. This was part of an overall William Hill plan to expand in compatible areas, according to Ralph Topping, William Hill CEO. Topping was optimistic.
William Hill is a super-giant in the gambling world. It has annual revenues exceeding $1.2 billion pounds. While some may say Tom Waterhouse will bring down the company value due to it's previous lack of revenue, William Hill officials beg to differ. They believe the influx of capital and expert personnel will turn around the Australian company.
Waterhouse, after whom his company is named, will remain with the management team, Topping said. William Hill also is retaining most of Waterhouse's team, which add to "substantial synergies," Topping said. Australia is now being called the company's second home market for William Hill. Waterhouse expressed optimism the new connection would provide better action.

TAFE NSW graduate sailing ahead at a rapid rate of knots
Published Date1 Year Ago
TAFE NSW graduate Wendy Love has been appointed as Chief Engineer of the MV John Cadman III and now represents the small cohort of women who make up less than 1% of engineers in the male-dominated maritime industry.
The Maritime Industry Australia Seafaring Skills Census 2018 reported the overall percentage of female seafarers at 5%. The details, however, show only 3% for deck and 0.4% for engineers.
The Auburn local has risen in the maritime ranks from working in the galley on commercial vessels on Sydney Harbour to the role of Chief Engineer onboard "The Cadman".
Ms Love said, "When Cadman Cruises acquired a new vessel, I was given the opportunity to take on a senior technical role once I'd completed a Certificate III in Maritime Operations online with TAFE NSW, to gain the necessary knowledge and skills to get a Marine Engine Driver Grade 2 Licence.
"Since graduating I have been able to immediately put my practical skills and work experience into practice to maintain the diesel engines, as well as operate the electrical, auxiliary and other machinery systems onboard."
As a middle-aged female working in the predominantly male maritime industry, Ms Love has had to work through some challenges. In 2006 she had to push to complete a General Purpose Hand (GPH) course to gain the skills she needed to do the job.
Through sheer perseverance, hard work, and keeping up to date with current skills requirements, Ms Love steadily developed her career and often worked as Cruise Director onboard the boat managing hospitality staff. Her leadership skills were brought to bear, managing events ranging from small groups to corporate bookings of 400 plus attendees.
Owner of "The Cadman", Tony Elias, said, "Wendy showed an aptitude to better understand the marine engineering systems onboard and expressed an interest in developing her technical skills.
"When we acquired the new vessel, I approached Wendy to take on the newly created role of Chief Engineer, once she'd completed online studies with TAFE Digital to gain a Marine Engine Driver Grade 2 Licence.
"Needless to say, she jumped at the chance!"
The single mother of four has garnered the respect of her peers with her hard work and determination to climb the ranks to the position of Chief Engineer. She is an active participant at Commercial Vessel Association and Sydney Harbour Liquor Accord meetings.
