It's Only the End of the World: Xavier Dolan's Family Melodrama, Starring Nathalie Baye, Marion Cottilard, Vincent Cassel
May 24, 2016 by EmanuelLevy
A wunderkind? a self-aggrandizing filmmaker? an ambitious careerist? Enfant terrible? All of these labels have been applied, with varying degrees of accuracy or truth, to the Quebecois director-writer-actor Xavier Dolan.
Only 27, the Montreal-based director has been nothing if not prolific, already claiming six features to his credit. Dolan might become the French-Candaian Woody Allen, not in theme or style so much as in being ultra-prolific, making one film every year since he was 19!
In 2009, Dolan made a splashy debut as director, producer, and star with the precociously daring Freudian melodrama, I Killed My Mother, which played at the Directors Fortnight of the Cannes Film Festival, winning the top prize.
He then followed up with the cutting-edge style of Heartbeats (2010), the strangely charming but uneven and long Laurence Anyways (2012), which played at Un Certain Regard, winning the Queer Palm Award, the psychosexual Tom at the Farm (2013), which won the Fipresci prize at the Venice Film Festival, and his breakthrough Mommy (2014), which won a major prize at last year's Cannes Film Festival. Did I mention that Dolan found time to shoot the moody black-and-white video for Adele, Hello.
This year, Dolan disn't disappoint his fans, arriving in Cannes with a new feature, It's Only the End of the World (Juste La Fin du Monde), which played in the Main Competition. Though dividing critics, the dysfunctional family melodrama was awarded the jury prize, reaffirming Dolan's own assessment before the premiere, "This is my best feature to date."
The film's source material proves both liberating and limiting for Dolan as director. With the exception of Tom at the Farm, Dolan's scripts have all been original works until now. However, the new film is an adaptation of a 1990 play by Jean-Luc Lagarce, the French actor-director playwright, who died of AIDS in 1995 at age 38.
Though the theatrical roots are more than visible, what elevates this work above the level of a screeching melodrama is its A-list cast, which includes Nathalie Baye, Vincent Cassel, Marion Cotillard, Léa Seydoux and Gaspard Ulliel. Each of these respectable actors has starred and carried on his/her own shoulders an entire picture, but here they function as an ensemble
The premise of this overtly theatrical melodrama, largely confined to one setting, is familiar. Ulliel plays Louis, a handsome, thirtysomething gay man who returns home after an absence of 12 years to inform his family that he is dying of AIDS. Melancholy and sad, he is now seeking redemption and rapprochement with each member, especially older, angry brother (Cassel).
For the duration of the drama–which is only 96 minutes–the family members argue, fight, reconcile, and then fight again. But the actors seem to have a field day in carping and tearing apart one another, bringing up all kinds of subjective memories from the distant and recent past.
We never get to know this quintet of people, most of whom come across as self-absorbed and not particularly interesting or positive as dramatis persona. Dolan has said that, upon first reading the play, in 2010, "I never got past page five. It bored me. I just didn't get it." However, "four years later, I felt a need to shoot it. I went back to the play, knowing who I would cast, and I connected with the material. Suddenly I understood it, and loved it."
In this film, Dolan, usually more of a visual stylist and pop artist, deviates from his previous films, perhaps due to his respect for the original drama and superlative cast. But the emotionally intense drama is repetitious and irritating, serving mostly as a platform to display the different acting methods of the two-generational cast.
He relies heavily on restless camera to convey the family's shifting psycho-social dynamics, granting each actor lavish and lengthy close-ups. This is especially the case of the photogenic Ulliel (who recently appeared in Saint Laurent as the famous fashion designer, Yves St. Laurent), and looks a bit like the young Alain Delon. As the mother, vet actress Nathalie Baye overacts and her wig and crude make-up make her look like a drag queen (perhaps by design).
Watching this film, we miss the restless energy, the emotional urgency of Dolan's previous films, which dealt in a daring and bold way with such relevant issues as sexual puberty, troubled adolescence, complex maternity, homosexuality and homophobia, transgenderism (long before it became fashionable).
Dolan still plans to make his English-speaking debut with The Death and Life of John F Donovan, perceiving It's Only the End of the World as a "useful transitional feature." In defense of his picture, he claims to "love how the characters talk, how unlikable they often are, their prolixity and nervousness. He holds that "working with actors is the greatest privilege in directing movies," and that it was a "challenging exercise to have such a strong cast saying those things to each other, with the specificity and singularity of Lagrace's sophisticated dialogue."

Game Preview: San Antonio Spurs vs Washington Wizards
🌱 Austin FC Staffing Changes + Winter Storm Warning
Where to see concerts at Austin live music venues
By Missy Evans Last updated Jan 17, 2023
While I've been here long enough to feel like a local, I'm actually sort of an accidental Austinite. I came to town on a whim in the mid-'90s, fresh out of college. I planned to spend a year or so in the Texas capital and then move on to the next place, but life in Austin, Texas is kind of like the stories you hear about Celtic fairyland. You go to party with the fairies and it feels like you've been gone for a few hours. In reality, 10 years have passed, all your friends are married with kids and you're still bar hopping in the Red River Cultural District, skin sparkling with fairy dust.
The music drew me in, shows every night of the week, wandering from bar to bar sampling different sounds. In my early years in Austin, I remember going to hip-hop shows at the Mercury Lounge and reggae concerts at Flamingo Cantina. One night Austin's world-class cumbia act Grupo Fantasma burst from the ether at the Empanada Parlor with an unstoppable barrage of funky brass and hip-shaking grooves.
The only one of those clubs that still exists is Flamingo. Its core program is still built around reggae and ska and it's a fantastic place to catch island sounds from international heavies. It's also a home base to underground hip-hop artists and other up-and-comers. These days, you can find south of the border sounds on Sixth Street at the new club Mala Vida, which specializes in regional Mexican music and prides itself on "all Latin vibes and Banda."
If you're new to town like I once was and looking for where to start your live music journey, or if you're a lifer with a New Year's resolution to see more shows, here's a guide to where you can see live music in Austin today. It's not a complete list, but it's a great roadmap.
Over the past couple decades, as "Sixth Street, the live music hub" became "Dirty Sixth, shot bar capital of the world," the Red River Cultural District emerged as the city's premiere walkable music row.
5 predictions for Austin music in 2023:Big tours, affordability challenges and more
Look for large touring shows at the district's outdoor venues, Stubb's BBQ, the Mohawk, Empire Garage and the 5,000-capacity Moody Amphitheater in the recently remodeled urban oasis, Waterloo Park. Look for even larger shows at the new 15,000 capacity Moody Center on the University of Texas campus. Pro tip: The two biggest booking agencies in town are C3 Concerts and Resound Presents. Sign up for their mailing lists or follow their social media accounts to snag hot tickets before they sell out.
If your favorite superstar isn't coming to the Moody Center or Waterloo Park, you might find them at Germania Insurance Amphitheater at Circuit of the Americas, the racetrack in far eastern Travis County. Also keep an eye on downtown concert hall ACL Live, which books major touring acts when it's not hosting tapings of the "Austin City Limits" TV show.
Stubb's, the Mohawk and Empire also have smaller indoor rooms where you can catch intimate shows and sets by local artists and ACL Live runs the adjacent small room 3Ten. Real talk, that's the true Austin live music experience: standing a few feet from a young artist who tugs your heartstrings as they bare their soul or watching a complete unknown ignite a crowd of 100 people before they blow up in earnest.
Cheer Up Charlies is also a fine Red River venue where you can catch emerging talent. The club has a small indoor space and a beautiful outdoor patio with a natural rock wall, where they host fabulous LGBTQ dance parties. Speaking of which, Tuesgayz at Barbarella is one of the hottest weekly LGBTQ dance bashes in town.
I'd be remiss if I didn't mention Elysium, home base to Austin's vampires and goths for over two decades and primary lair of Austin drag sensation Louisianna Purchase (of "Dragula" fame). My favorite story about Elysium illustrates the "all are welcome" ethos of the Red River Cultural District in general. One night, after an Insane Clown Posse show at Empire, a group of Juggalos (ICP fans with painted faced) showed up at the club's regular PooPoo Platter drag show. Nervous about how the two subcultures would interact, the club owner went to hover nearby. The drag queens were giving the Juggalos makeup tips.
Twice a year, clubs in the Red River Cultural District throw open their doors for no-cover mini-festivals featuring mostly local talent. Free Week takes place the first week in January and Hot Summer Nights is celebrated in July.
But perhaps you're looking for a taste of classic Austin. The blues have been at the heart of local music for decades. The Austin blues sound was pioneered by Black artists in East Austin. Drop by the historic Victory Grill on 11th Street — now a chicken and waffles joint — to see one of the venues that birthed the sound. While you're there, pop in on the weekly Monday night blues jam hosted by Harold McMillan, one of the scene's elders, at outdoor venue Kenny Dorham's Backyard next door.
In the '70s, the blues drifted across Interstate 35 with artists like Stevie Ray Vaughan, and Antone's became Austin's home of the blues. The club's fourth location, on Fifth Street downtown, is its most elegant, a classy spot with cool ambience, fancy cocktails and great sound. The club's calendar includes plenty of blues alongside indie rock, hip-hop and more.
Nestled among the upscale hotels, boutiques and eateries on South Congress, you'll find the Continental Club. The no-nonsense granddad of Austin music venues hosts a mix of country, rock, blues and jazz. Keep an eye on the club's free happy hour shows. Before he became an international guitar hero, Gary Clark Jr. held down a free residency at the club. If you stop by on a Monday night, head to the back room to say hi to the Honky Tonk Doctor, Dianne Scott, the club's longtime publicist and self-help guru.
For one of the most intimate listening experiences in the city, slip upstairs to the Continental Gallery, where you can catch exceptional artists in a hushed environment. Also check out the Continental's sister venue, C-Boy's Heart & Soul, farther down South Congress.
While C-Boy's is a great place to catch ascendent artists, Adrian Quesada once told me it can be a high-pressure environment to launch a new project because it's a favorite hangout for top-tier Austin musicians. The project he was launching? Grammy-nominated rock & soul phenom Black Pumas, who played their first four gigs in a month-long residency at the club.
If your boots are made for scootin', you could head farther into South Austin to the celebrated honky tonk Broken Spoke. For a more low-brow two-step experience, drop by the White Horse in East Austin, where a lonely Kacey Musgraves haunted the bar with local legend Willie Nelson in the video for "Are You Sure."
Speaking of East Austin, at just older than a decade, Hotel Vegas isn't exactly a classic venue, but the club's owners are dedicated to keeping the city's long tradition of psych rock and garage punk alive and well.
Don't forget about the weird and wonderful. Tucked away in what used to be far East Austin, the Sahara Lounge is a funky old dive with an indoor stage and a spacious backyard with a fire pit. The club prides itself on various bookings, and its signature event is the weekly Africa Night bash each Saturday. The gig is anchored by Niger-native Ibrahim Aminou's house band Zoumountchi. Other world beat artists are regularly featured, and the price of admission includes a free African buffet.
Skylark Lounge, hidden alongside auto shops on Airport Boulevard, will transport you back in time with its shabby chic interior and music program centered on classic blues and soul.
Up on Burnet Road, the tiny honky tonk Little Longhorn is a fine spot for two-stepping and country crooning, but the club's signature event is the Chicken Sh*t Bingo from 4 to 8 pm every Sunday. And yes, the bingo masters are, in fact, real chickens.
The circus murals on the side of the Carousel Lounge beckon you into its carnival of kitsch. It's a neighborhood lounge with smaller-profile bills. And forget craft cocktails; the bar runs a bring-your-own liquor bar program, selling wine, beer and mixers. But as far as true Austin weird vibes go, it is a spectacular (and Instagram-friendly) big top of oddities.
Austin's festival season is bookended by the music, film and tech industry mixer South by Southwest in March and the fall behemoth Austin City Limits Music Festival at Zilker Park.
Even if you don't get a wristband or a badge for SXSW, it's worth heading downtown during the festival. Beyond the free activations and events, many official SXSW showcases accept a cover charge at the door and some under-the-radar events include top talent from all over the world.
ACL Fest takes over Zilker Park for two weekends in October and features a mix of chart-topping superstars and trendy up-and-comers. Tickets (which will set you back over $100 per day and somewhere in the range of $300 for a 3-day pass) generally go on sale in May when the lineup is announced.
If those events are too big or too corporate for you, perhaps you'd enjoy Austin Reggae Fest, a celebration of laid-back sounds and irie vibes at Auditorium Shores in April that is also the biggest annual fundraiser for Central Texas Food Bank.
For subscribers:Bruce, Janet, SZA, the CMT Awards and your guide to live music in Austin for 2023
Levitation, which takes place in the Red River Cultural District over Halloween weekend, is another indie Austin original. The festival formerly known as Austin Psych Fest takes place as a series of club shows spotlighting adventurous and experimental music.
If you don't mind a drive, Old Settler's Music Festival honors roots music every April in Tilmon; Kerrville Folk Festival happens in May; and Float Fest, a summer shindig that combines music and floating the river in a tube (a very Texas summer tradition), happens in Gonzales.
Wow, that was a lot. And to be honest, this just scratches the surface of Austin music. Now, go find your new favorite band.

Despite 'bad luck' in recent years, Dan Henderson isn't looking for exit strategy
Ben Fowlkes
June 5, 2015 3:15 pm ET
Dan Henderson
The pessimist might look at Dan Henderson's 1-5 UFC record since 2013 and see a career in decline.
The pessimist who wanted to go a step further might add that even the one – a TKO victory over Mauricio Rua more than a year ago – came after Henderson (30-13 MMA, 7-7 UFC) had been thoroughly pummeled by several nearly fight-ending barrages, and also after he'd been briefly allowed to resume using testosterone-replacement therapy, which he first began in 2007.
With Henderson's 45th birthday approaching in August, and TRT exemptions now a thing of the past, this same pessimist might ask, isn't it time to think about calling it quits? Isn't it maybe past time? This fight against Tim Boetsch (18-8 MMA, 7-5 UFC), for instance, in Saturday's UFC Fight Night 68 main event New Orleans, what's it really about, anyway?
This is the kind of thing that Henderson – a diehard optimist, at least when it comes to his own career – hears often these days. It gives him a chuckle.
"It's about winning," he told MMAjunkie earlier this week. "Obviously I haven't had the best couple years, but every fight to me, I need to win. This one's no different."
Except that it is, when you think about it. The Henderson who lost three consecutive fights in 2013 could at least say he was coming up short against former champions, one and all. The one who's coming off a first-round TKO loss to Gegard Mousasi and heading into a bout with the unranked (at least according to our USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie MMA middleweight rankings) Boetsch must confront a different set of stakes.
Beating Boetsch won't make Henderson an instant title contender. It probably won't even propel him into the top 10. What it will do is put a little more distance between Henderson and the constant questions about when he's going to quit. Which, he'll admit, would be nice. But is it enough?
The answer depends on what you think Henderson's after. According to him, he "still has some goals" he'd like to accomplish before he hangs up the gloves for good. That includes capturing a UFC title, which Henderson acknowledges he's "kind of gotten further away from."
But if you're looking for him to admit that further away is the same thing as hopelessly distant, you're not going to get it. Even with the string of losses, and even at his age, the best you'll get him out of him is a classically Hendersonian admission that, yeah things could have gone better in his last few fights.
"I feel like I've had some bad luck over the last couple years," Henderson said. "But we'll see what happens in the next two or three fights."
And yeah, that's a fighter in his mid-40s talking about the next two or three fights. Not even talking about them as if they will necessarily be his last, either. Instead, talking about them as if it's all a wait-and-see kind of thing.
That is not a man who is thinking about an exit strategy. That is a man who is planning on sticking around a little while longer, maybe a long while, whether we understand it or not.
In order for that plan to remain tenable, however, he's going to have to win a few fights. That, when you get down to it, is what's at stake for him in fights like this one with Boetsch. Henderson might keep talking about the title, and about whatever other goals he has that are still unfulfilled, but what this is really about is the party he doesn't seem to want to leave. He doesn't think he has to, even if that makes him a member of a shrinking minority. That's the optimist in him.
And who but an unshakable optimist would have even made it this far? And how's a guy like that supposed to just suddenly learn how to quit?

Vaarwel, vrienden (that means "goodbye, friends" in Dutch according to a sketchy online translator). As I type, it is midnight, and there is still packing to be done, but I simply must go to bed. I will be up bright and early to shove the last of my belongings into my bags, kiss my sweetie a tearful goodbye and get on a plane headed for The Netherlands. Wish me safe travels and I can't wait to share all my upcoming adventures! Have a fabulous weekend!
btw, thanks for looking for the twitter badge for me!

I had a blast visiting libraries all over the front range of Colorado last year and last week I kicked off another great year with a lovely group of children and their families at the Schlessman Family Library in Denver . It was wonderful to see parents helping their children explore the instruments I brought along and even help them make their own. We talked all about instruments that are played when you STRIKE, SHAKE OR SCRAPE them.
Setting parents at ease at the very beginning on our time together is important to me. It's not our job to be musicians in front of our children. It's our job to be musical risk-takers. Whether we are listening to new kinds of music or putting ourselves out there with a little lyrical or instrumental improvisation when the mood hits, our children are watching us. They are learning from us and it's so important to model a love and curiosity about all kinds of music.
On top of my visits to Colorado libraries, I'm thrilled to continue working with Scott Johnson on his social musical initiative World Singing Day. I love working alongside his wonderful team of enthusiastic kind hearted people.
Wish I was visiting your local library? Let your librarian know about me. I'd love to come and share my enthusiasm about music with your community.
Enjoying this wintry day. Stay ENTHUSIC out there!
Heather Stenner has a passion for life! Her passions play out with music and children of all ages. Heather grew up in the Midwest and realized the importance of each day from a very young age. Her mother was diagnosed with a brain tumor when Heather was only 5. The doctors gave her mother 6 months to live. It was during the next 15 years that Heather developed her charismatic and joyful course for her own life! Her mother showed her strength and courage and an intense compassion for others and their suffering. Her mother passed away when Heather was 20 years old. Heather vowed she would continue to live each day as if it were her last. To treat people with compassion and believe in the love we all share for one another. At the age of 37, she became an orphan. Her father passed away from pancreatic cancer. Through it all, Heather realized that MUSIC was one of her coping mechanisms to deal with all the stress that cancer brought into their families lives. She vowed to share her love of music with children, so that it might also be a positive force in their lives! To this day, Heather creates music that has soul and passion. She hopes everyone will remember with the dawning of each day; we are all musical. Feel it in your soul. Keep it to yourself... or give it away.


Spray Valley Provincial Park is located along the Spray River and near the Spray Lakes Reservoir off of Highway 742 out of Canmore. The provincial park also stretches to Highway 40 near the Wedge Pond day use area but I am going to focus purely on the area off of the Smith Dorrien Trail (Highway 742) in this story.
There are only a handful of bike trails in this valley but that just means you don't have to debate over which trail to do. Plan a long weekend to the valley and conquer all of the bike trails in one shot. They are all family-friendly and doable by children on 16-20" bikes. We've even had our son out here biking to Watridge Lake on his balance bike back when he was just 4 years old.
What I love most about the bike trails in this valley is the remoteness and the feeling of solitude you'll get as you ride way into the backcountry on well maintained trails and old roads perfect for young riders not up for the challenges of single track riding.
The Watridge Lake trail is an 8km bike ride (round trip distance) that we try to do once a year. The trail starts from the Mount Shark Day Use area and follows an old logging road that is very family-friendly. Our son has been doing the ride since he was 4 years old and we've just walked the occasional steep hill we come across. Most of the trip is pretty gradual though without huge amounts of height gain or loss.
At the 3.9km mark, you'll reach a sign for Watridge Lake. Here is where we leave our bikes and walk down a steep hill to reach the lake. From the lake, you can hike an additional 0.8km (one way) up to Karst Spring which is highly recommended during run off season when water is high.
There are no technical challenges on this outing and it is Chariot-friendly for the entire distance. Children on balance bikes will also have few problems on this gradual trail.
The Goat Creek Trail starts from the Goat Creek Day Use Area just outside of Canmore and is a 19 km one way ride from the Spray Valley to the Banff townsite. Strong riders can bike the full return distance in 3-4 hours but it will take families the same amount of time to ride one way to Banff.
While many people set up a car shuttle, leaving a second vehicle at Bow Falls in Banff, we chose to make things simple on ourselves since we were staying in the Spray Valley overnight. My son and I biked one-way into Banff while Dad turned around at the final bridge and headed back for the truck. Yay Dad! He then came into Banff to pick us up and we tried to keep it a secret that we'd been eating ice-cream while he was biking back uphill to fetch the vehicle.
If you're looking for a sense of remoteness, this is the place for you to go biking! You likely won't see a single other person on your ride and you might even come across a moose if you're lucky.
There are two main trails that start from the Spray Lakes West Campground (which is great if you're camping here.) First, you can follow the West Side Lake Trail which is a gravel road connecting the campground with the Mt. Shark trail system near Watridge Lake. The West Side Lake Trail follows the Spray Lakes Reservoir all the way to the far end at Canyon dam. The trail is 10.8km one way and is typically done as an out and back trip. It is relatively flat and easy for family-riding.
For information on how to connect the West Side Lake Trail with the Mount Shark trails, pick up a copy of Doug Eastcott's book, Backcountry Biking in the Canadian Rockies. Families will likely just want to ride the West Side Lake Trail out for about 5km, and then return the same way for a shorter day.
We haven't tried the West Side Lake Trail yet, but the trail we did bike (and thoroughly enjoyed) was the Goat Pond Canal trail which connects the Spray Lakes Reservoir with Goat Pond further up the Smith Dorrien Trail towards Canmore. This was a lovely family ride, relatively flat and easy going on a gravel maintenance road.
If you're looking for budget accommodations, you'll probably want to stay at the Spray Lakes West Campground mentioned in the previous paragraphs. However, if you have the means to splurge for a weekend, you definitely want to upgrade your digs and stay at Mount Engadine Lodge near Mount Shark. Not only will you be within a short bike ride's distance from the Watridge Lake trailhead but you'll also get an unparalleled stay in one of the finest lodges of the Canadian Rockies.
A perfect blend of comfort and luxury. Come here for a romantic weekend getaway or bring the kids and they'll feel right at home too.
We've stayed here a few times now and every visit is a special treat leaving us begging to come back for more. Winter or Summer, Mount Engadine Lodge never disappoints and it gets my vote for "best place to go glamping with the kids in Kananaskis." - pretty sure I might have actually said I never wanted to camp again after staying at Mount Engadine a few weeks ago.
Private Cabin in Paradise Anybody??

With a balance bike however, they are able to master the balance necessary for a two-wheel bike without having to be afraid of falling.
Just got back from an overnight camping trip at the spray lakes west campground. Our girls, 6 and 8 loved mountain biking to Karst Spring and our 3 year old enjoyed the chariot ride. Thanks for this how to post that inspired us. We had a great time.

From Citizenship Education to National Education
From Citizenship Education to National Education Perceptions of National Identity and National Education of Hong Kong's Secondary School Teachers KING MAN ERIC (THE EDUCAION UNIVERSITY OF HONG KONG, Hong Kong) Chong
This book makes a timely contribution to understanding perceptions on national identity and National Education, with both of them have become controversial topics in Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR) of China. In a so-called globalization era, national identity and National Education, with the latter having an aim of fostering a Chinese national identity in education, have been significantly pushed ahead by the Hong Kong SAR government since the early 2000s as a response to the return of sovereignty to China in 1997. Teacher perception matters to what they select and how they teach in the schools. By incorporating fieldworks of teacher interviews, observation and documentary analysis, this book argues for a multi-layered conception of identity, different aims, contents and diversified methods of National Education should be recognized. This book is likely to become a useful account of teacher perception on national identity and National Education in citizenship education literature, and it will be relevant to policymakers, teachers, trainers and researchers. Chapters include, 1. Different meanings of national identity of teachers and aims, contents and methods of National Education 2. From Citizenship Education to National Education in a Chinese society 3. Implications for understanding National Education in a globalization era: mixed identification, multi-layered identities, knowledge transmission, and `global identity'

Point of view is the perspective from which an essay is written. The following ... Second-person point of view, which directly addresses the reader, works well for.


Non-oil domestic exports surprised the market with not just a recovery, but a sharp rebound, in November.
NON-OIL domestic exports surprised the market with not just a recovery, but a sharp rebound, in November. The NODX pulled back from a 12.0 per cent plunge in October to post an 11.5 per cent jump.
Month on month, the NODX recorded a sharp seasonally adjusted 13.1 per cent increase, after tumbling 3.6 per cent in the previous month, according to the latest official trade data released on Friday by International Enterprise (IE) Singapore.
Except Japan, Thailand and Indonesia, the trade promotion agency said NODX shipments to all the top 10 markets rose in November. The EU (up 48.3 per cent year-on-year), Hong Kong (+38.1 per cent) and China (+15.8 per cent) were the three biggest contributors to the NODX's rise last month.
The market was looking to a 2.7 per cent year-on-year and 1.5 per cent month-on-month drop in the NODX in November. While the unexpectedly steep jump is not enough to stop the full-year NODX from slipping for a fourth straight year, UOB Bank economist Francis Tan said it bodes well for a stronger NODX growth in 2017.
The NODX's trend growth, while still in shrinking mode currently, has been improving since it hit a "minimum turning point" in April 2015, according to Mr Tan.
"We maintain our 2016 NODX growth forecast of -4.1 per cent, marking the fourth year of full-year NODX decline," he said. "Nevertheless, we forecast 2017 NODX to finally break the contractionary barrier and grow 0.7 per cent - although it is still a very weak growth."
The NODX, which fell 5.4 per cent in the third quarter and 4.5 per cent in the first two quarters, will drop 5.0 to 5.5 per cent in 2016, according to IE Singapore's latest forecast. It dipped 0.1 per cent last year and 1.5 per cent in 2014. In 2013, the NODX fell 6.0 per cent. IE Singapore has already indicated that the NODX is likely to do better next year. Last month, it projected the NODX's growth to fall between minus one and plus one per cent in 2017, citing "improvements in the growth outlook for advanced and developing economies like the US, NIEs and Asean".
Citigroup's Kit Wei Zheng said the NODX's strong showing last month suggests that risks of a fourth-quarter technical recession may have receded. But he remains cautious of NODX's growth, "given that the rebound (in November) was largely driven by volatile pharmaceuticals".
"Trump presidency-related" uncertainties remain, with Singapore relatively more exposed to any protectionist policies compared to the rest of Asean, Mr Kit said.
Pharmaceutical exports jumped 44.8 per cent in November, after sinking 47.0 per cent in October. Shipments of specialised machinery also posted a sharp increase of 64.7 per cent, while exports of petrochemicals went up 13.9 per cent. The non-electronic NODX as a whole rose 15.3 per cent, bouncing back from a 14.6 per cent decline in the previous month. The electronic NODX, which slipped 6.0 per cent in October, increased 3.5 per cent last month - the first expansion in nine months. The expansion was boosted by gains in the shipments of integrated circuits (+10.6 per cent), parts of PCs (+30.5 per cent) and disk media products (+9.7 per cent).
UOB's Mr Tan said continued growth in the electronic NODX could well fuel the projected stronger NODX growth in 2017. He noted that the electronic NODX's expansion in November was "in line with the past eight months of electronics production ramp-up as seen in the monthly production figures".
Also, the past four months of expansion - after an 18-month consecutive decline - in the new export orders for electronics PMI points to a pick-up in the electronic NODX in 2017, according to him.

West Nile Fever in Horses
By Deidre M. Carson, BVSc, MRCVS & Sidney W. Ricketts, LVO, BSc, BVSc, DESM, DipECEIM, FRCPath, FRCVS.
Zoonosis & Human Health, Pet Services
West Nile Fever is a disease caused by a virus (WNV) carried by mosquitoes. It causes encephalitis (inflammation of the brain and spinal cord) that can affect humans and other animals as well as horses. Prior to 1999, the virus was found only in Africa, Eastern Europe and Western Asia, but in August 1999 it was identified in the northeastern states of U.S.A. (New York and the New England states), causing fatal illness in a variety of animals, including horses and people. Since then it has spread dramatically across U.S.A. and Canada. In 2002, West Nile Fever was diagnosed in a stallion in official quarantine in Australia after importation from North America. The virus has been found in Mediterranean Europe, including southern France, causing disease in horses.
What are the effects of West Nile Fever?
Infection with WNV does not always cause signs of clinical abnormality. Many infected animals show no sign of illness although they produce detectable blood antibody levels. In areas where the virus occurs, wild birds that are commonly infected by mosquitoes, then act as a source of replicating virus for mosquitoes to bite and then infect other animals. Horses and humans can be infected, causing encephalitis (inflammation of the brain), sometimes with fatal results.
Clinical signs range from a loss of appetite and depression to any one, or combination of the following:
Elevated body temperature.
Weakness or paralysis of the hindlimbs.
Incoordination.
An apparent loss of orientation, resulting in walking in circles or aimless wandering and bumping into walls.
Blindness or excessive excitability.
Coma, collapse and death.
How is West Nile Fever diagnosed?
These symptoms are not specific for WNV. Blood and sometimes cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) tests are usually needed to differentiate between different causes of encephalitis and in-coordination. Diseases to be differentiated include other encephalitis producing viruses (Eastern, Western and Venezuelan encephalitis), protozoal encephalomyelitis (EPM), wobbler syndrome, traumatic injury, poisoning, bacterial infection and liver disease.
Where a horse is suspected of having West Nile Fever, blood tests can be performed to test for the presence of the virus or antibodies (disease fighting proteins) that the horse has produced in response to the infection.
Can West Nile Fever be treated?
There is no specific treatment for West Nile Fever. Treatment is aimed at symptomatic and supportive care for the encephalitis and the neurological abnormalities that it produces.
Killed virus vaccines are available for use in horses and widespread use shows that it is safe and that it produces useful immunity that either prevents or reduces the severity of the disease. Annual vaccination is advised in high risk areas. Consult your veterinarian with regards to this vaccine and your horse.
How do horses pick up West Nile Fever?
Horses and people are 'end-stage' hosts and the virus is not transmitted from one to another. Wild birds are the most important environmental source of infection and mosquitoes pick up the virus when they feed on an infected bird. The virus is then transmitted to the next animal or animals that the mosquito bites. This means that the virus can be spread over vast distances in relatively short time by mosquito transmission where there is a wild bird reservoir of infection.
How can I prevent my horse from getting West Nile Fever?
One approach is to avoid geographical areas where disease occurs, however for horses that need to compete internationally, this may not be appropriate. Vaccination appears to be a sensible precaution for such horses and the vaccine can be used under special license.
Control of the spread of infection in WNV areas depends upon limiting the breeding and spread of infected mosquitoes. In U.S.A., government laboratories perform postmortem examinations on wild birds, using them as 'sentinels' for spread and intensity of infection. Vaccination for horses is now used in high-risk areas .In such areas it is possible that the judicious use of insect repellent may reduce the risk of infection for individual horses and it is sensible to house horses in insect screened and controlled stables during times of maximum mosquito activity. It is recommended that humans in high risk areas use insect repellent and wear long sleeves and long trousers.

In Android Puzzle Games , Dots is one of the most favorite and most played game of Android and iPhone in 2014. Today here I am going to provide you some interesting points about this android Puzzle Game.
In our childhood, we had often played a game of connecting dots via creating lines is now available on the Google play store but with some new changes which makes the game more interesting known as Dots -A Game about Connecting Review. If you do not know about this game, let's have a look over this game post.
The whole game is all about connecting two or more same color dots together, collecting them in the process. The game is very entertaining and full of addiction. You have to follow the few rules to play this game.
You can do this at 90 degree angles, by which diagonals are out. If you make a perfect four-dot square, all dots of that colour are collected from the screen. You get 60 seconds per round. The people who play the puzzle games regularly will disappoint due to no newness for them. In this game, you will find three power-ups: One that removes a single dot, one that removes all dots of one colour and one that provides you an extra few seconds on the clock. As you have 90 degree angles, you have fewer moves to play. You can only connect the 2-3 dots at a time.
The somewhat odd part of this game is the Game Score. Your score is also your currency therefore if you earn 150 dots in one time score then you can spend 150 dots. You can use these to buy those single dot eliminator, full colour eliminator, and time extend power ups.
If we see the visual representation, you will find it game is flawlessly clean. The dot colours are a pleasant array of pastels. There are even multiple shades of white that shows the designers took great care to make sure everything matches up well. In terms of audio, the game has all the right sounds going on. The clicking on the menus and at the final seconds of a round is really satisfying. You will get the different sounds when you make the chains or when you connect the dots and provide you a flawless audio cue if you are doing well. The most satisfactory point in Dots is its audio-visual presentation.
As the Dots lags in terms of mechanical terms, but it contains the great audio visual presentation which is the benchmark in the standard of game representation. If you are curious to play the puzzle games and want a few minutes fun here and there then I highly recommend you to play Dots Android Games as it is free of cost and also so much entertaining. The curiosity increases will increase day by day by playing this android puzzle game. So lets play and enjoy!
You can download this entertaining Android Puzzle Game – Dots from here.
If you have any query regarding the game post or you find the post helpful then you can mention it in the comments.

Prosecutors ask to revoke Angel Rivera's bond, days after getting out of jail
Treinen, Sanchez, Russell, Sánchez become free agents
FILE - In this May 29, 2019, file photo, Chicago Cubs shortstop Addison Russell throws to first during the eighth inning of a baseball game against the Houston Astro in Houston. The Cubs failed to offer a 2020 contract to Russell on Monday, Dec. 2, 2019, making the 2016 All-Star a free agent one year after he was suspended for violating Major League Baseballs domestic violence policy. (AP Photo/David J. Phillip, File)
NEW YORK, NY – Former All-Stars Blake Treinen, Aaron Sanchez and Addison Russell were among 56 players who became free agents along with current Gold Glove second baseman Yolmer Sánchez when their teams declined to offer 2020 contracts Monday rather than make them eligible for salary arbitration.
Baltimore, faced with a similar decision, traded second baseman Jonathan Villar to Miami, which claimed first baseman Jesús Aguilar off waivers from Tampa Bay.
One big-name free agent found a home: All-Star infielder Mike Moustakas and the Cincinnati Reds agreed to a $64 million, four-year contract, a person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the agreement had not been announced.
For the second straight offseason, the Reds are making a splash as they try to shake themselves out of a rut of six straight losing seasons. Their first move involves getting a player from NL Central rival Milwaukee. The 31-year-old Moustakas could fill a hole at second base that opened when Scooter Gennett got hurt and then was traded last season.
Cincinnati scored the fourth-fewest runs in the NL despite one of the league's most hitter-friendly ballparks. Bulking up on offense, stabilizing the outfield and overhauling the bullpen are the Reds' priorities in the offseason.
Ahead of the deadline to offer 2020 contracts to unsigned players on 40-man rosters, San Diego obtained second baseman Jurickson Profar from Oakland for catching prospect Austin Allen, then agreed to a $5.7 million, one-year contract. Cleveland acquired catcher Sandy León from Boston for minor league right-hander Adenys Bautista and agreed to a $2 million deal.
About two dozen players agreed to contracts, and the total of players eligible for arbitration dropped from about 230 at the start of the day to approximately 165.
Seattle chose not to offer a contract to infielder Tim Beckham, who has 32 games remaining on a drug suspension, and San Francisco let go outfielder Kevin Pillar.
Milwaukee was the most active team in cutting its budget for arbitration-eligible players, allowing a quintet to go free: left-hander Álex Claudio, right-handers Junior Guerra and Jimmy Nelson, infielder Tyler Saladino and third baseman Travis Shaw. The Brewers also agreed to a $2.2 million, one-year deal with shortstop Orlando Arcia and a $1.4 million, one-year contract with outfielder Ben Gamel, whose deal includes a $2.55 million team option for 2021.
After starting the day with 10 arbitration-eligible players, the Brewers finished with three: right-hander Corey Knebel and lefties Josh Hader and Brent Suter.
"I'd say that payroll flexibility helps and isn't a bad thing as we evaluate potential acquisitions throughout the offseason," Brewers general manager David Stearns said. "The way the arbitration system is set up, sometimes you're forced to make difficult decisions if it doesn't appear that allocating the payroll to specific players in the way the arbitration would dictate would be the most effective use of those dollars."
Baltimore jettisoned its top player in Villar in exchange for minor league pitcher Easton Lucas. Villar played in all 162 games this year and led the 108-loss Orioles with 176 hits, five triples and 40 stolen bases. He likely will command a salary of about $10 million in arbitration.
"He was a tremendously exciting player for us, a joy to have," Orioles general manager Mike Elias said. "It was hard to let him go, but we've got to keep an eye on our strategic objectives, which is prioritize the future right now."
Russell, a 2016 All-Star, was banned for 40 games last offseason under Major League Baseball's domestic violence policy after a series of allegations made by ex-wife Melisa Reidy. The 25-year-old returned to the Chicago Cubs in May and batted a career-low .237 with nine homers, 23 RBIs and a .699 OPS.
Russell earned $4 million in 2019 and was likely to gain a raise in arbitration, probably to around $5 million.
"We decided to non-tender Addison Russell today simply because the role we expected him to play for the 2020 Cubs was inconsistent with how he would have been treated in the salary arbitration process," Cubs president of baseball operations Theo Epstein said in a statement.
Treinen, a 31-year-old right-hander, had a 4.91 ERA for Oakland this year, up from 0.78 ERA in his All-Star season of 2018. Treinen was expected to command roughly $7.5 million in arbitration.
Sanchez, a 27-year-old right-hander, was an All-Star for Toronto in 2016 and was dealt to Houston on July 31. He went 2-0 in four starts and 18 2/3 innings, including the first six innings of a combined no-hitter against Seattle in his Astros debut. But the team said on Sept. 5 that he needed shoulder surgery.
Among others cut loose were Philadelphia third baseman Maikel Franco and second baseman César Hernández, Arizona outfielder Steven Souza Jr., and Minnesota first baseman C.J. Cron.

I don't think the answer to this question can be found on my to-do list, but rather somewhere underneath the constant susurration of my lizard mind. It might come to me after meditating. It might come to me if I give myself permission to be fearless and impractical.
If I'm fearless and impractical, then maybe I can find that small, sweet dream of mine; or that huge, ambitious, world-changing dream of mine, and inquire of it where it has come from and what it wants and what it needs to unfold.
If I ask myself and my dream these questions, what do I learn?

Going down a water slide in the middle of the night sounds like a lot of fun.
Until some legs are snapped.
ODDS AND ENDS: Bone-breaking granny and other offbeat offerings Back to video
That's what a grandmother from the United Kingdom and her friend experienced recently after breaking into a water park on a drunken stupor.
According to the New Zealand Herald , 46-year-old Claire Vickers and her 44-year-old friend Barry Douglas snuck into the Aldershot Lido water park in early August after a night of boozing.
Vickers and Douglas managed to make their way up to the top of a water slide. The pair splashed water down the slide in an attempt to lubricate it for their journey down.
Their joyride came to a painful conclusion after slamming into a barrier near the bottom, fracturing their shins and shattering their feet in the process.
Vickers and Douglas were stranded for two hours, repeatedly shouting "help" and banging against the slide before finally being rescued.
Vickers told U.K. Sun the incident was "like a scene out of the horror film Saw, noting she and Douglas were "idiots – let that be a lesson."
Douglas — who ended up with both ankles shattered — described his foot as "hanging off."
PSYCHIC COULDN'T REMOVE EX-GIRLFRIEND CURSE, SO MAN SUES
Sometimes you just can't trust the word of a psychic.
One California man found out the hard way after a psychic reportedly told him she could remove a curse placed on his marriage by a witch via his ex-girlfriend.
However, the man claims the curse wasn't lifted and is suing the psychic for fraud and $25,000 in damages.
According to BBC News, Mauro Restrepo paid $5,100 psychic Sophia Adams after she reportedly promised she could save his marriage by exorcising the spell placed on him by a witch hired by an ex-girlfriend.
Lawsuit documents stated Adams allegedly told Restrepo that he and his family would be unhappy and "in danger" if the spell wasn't removed.
The man sought out the services of Adams after Googling psychics while online. During a tarot card reading, Adams reportedly told Restrepo he had bad luck placed on him by a witch and unless the curse was removed his marriage would suffer.
After paying Adams, the man claimed the psychic "did not in any way help" his marriage and he suffered from insomnia, anxiety and anguish.
Besides fraud, Restrepo is also suing Adams for negligence, civil conspiracy and both intentional and negligent infliction of emotional distress.

ATTACK OF THE ALASKAN OTTERS!
Authorities in Alaska are searching for a gang of river otters who have violently and mysteriously attacking humans and dogs.
According to Live Science, there were three otter attacks in Anchorage, Alaska in the last month, which has officials from the Alaska Department of Fish and Game asking people to be vigilant around bodies of water where otters may congregate.
The most recent attack occurred after Ayden Fernandez, 9, was attacked after filming a group of four otters in a duck pond, the Anchorage Daily News reported.
One of the otters broke from the pack and chased Fernandez and pounced on him after the boy tripped and fell.
Fernandez ended up with bite marks on both his thighs and on his foot.
In other attacks, a woman and her dog were attacked by otters while a second dog fell victim to the animals in a separate incident.
It's not known how many otters are behind the violent outbursts, but ADFG biologist David Battle suggests it may just be one group.
Battle said groups of otters tend to consist of a mother and her offspring or bachelor males. Because multiple otters were involved in the reported attacks, he suspects it's likely a group of adult males who became defensive.
The ADFG is currently looking for the group of bitey river otters, but tracking them down might be tough due to a lack of fixed territory and the ability to swim through connected waterways.

RESCUED TARANTULA TURNED OUT TO BE STRICTLY ORNAMENTAL
Sometimes an arachnid just isn't an arachnid.
Some animal rescuers from California got a good chuckle after being called out to help rescue what was thought to be a tarantula stranded on the roof of a home.
SFGate reported an animal control officer from the Peninsula Humane Society was called to a home in San Mateo, Calif., to attempt a rescue of the arachnid from a roof.
The officer scaled the roof with a plastic container and captured the tarantula, only to quickly realize that it was an old Halloween decoration.
Peninsula Humane Society's communications manager Buffy Tarbox said the animal official brought the plastic tarantula down from the roof and showed the homeowners and the person who originally spotted it. The homeowners reportedly didn't know it was up on the roof.
The plastic tarantula was brought back to the humane society's office where it was promptly placed in the garbage

Q: Is there a general method to estimate the parameter of a Poisson distribution numerically using MLE in R? I am trying to solve this problem:

Assuming for the phishing values to come from a Poisson distribution of
unknown lambda parameter, use the sample values to numerically estimate the parameter with
the method of maximum likelihood, compare it with what you would have with the method of
moments and with this estimate calculate the probability of having carried out more phishing than the first quartile of
those present in test;

What I know is that for continuous random variables it is sufficient to rewrite in R the function of the specific distribution (or its logarithmic version), then through a for loop to multiply all the densities for each x_i belonging to the sample,
and for discrete distributions instead? if I were faced with a Bernoulli distribution (for example), or a Poisson distribution like the one in the exercise above, what should I do?
Note: this is not a duplicate of MSE and MLE with Poisson distribution, I'm my case I'm asking relative to R, more than a single theoretical explanation


Gaming audio is a crowded space, and to break through the noise, Corsair would have to make their boldest statement to date.
We knew that reciting specs to savvy consumers would never connect. To reach this group we would need to inspire them, and play to their aspirations. We wanted to stoke a fire under the emerging pride in eSports and create an ownable space for Corsair.
We created a rallying cry for gamers everywhere that went beyond what gear we choose, and told the story of why we play. The piece centers on a gamer transcending the noise of his everyday life and embracing that electric, heart-pounding moment every world-class athlete feels right before they step into an arena.
We created an ownable space in the world of eSports for Corsair, and established them as the only gaming hardware brand that understands how it actually feels to be a competitive gamer.

Q: vshost.exe file in Release folder? Why there is a appname.vshost.exe file generated for the release version of my application? I might add that I'm using an external dll library and some unsafe code.
What's even more interesting, my application launched from Release folder does not work correctly (it works OK when launched from Debug folder).
It's bit hard to explain - feel free to ask if you need more info.

A: From David's answer, perhaps the link at the bottom - How to: Disable the Hosting Process might be what you're after if you actually want to get rid of it from your project's output.
Though it shouldn't do any harm to leave it on your machine; so just don't deploy it...

A: For anyone else having the issue, it is probably because "Enable the Visual Studio hosting process" checkbox (in Project Properties -> "Debug" Tab) is checked under your Release configuration.
You probably want it only checked under your Debug configuration so

*

*just delete all files from your Release folder OR run Clean on the project;

*then uncheck the checkbox

*and build the project.

A: Um, I know perfectly what this file is for, just don't understand why it was building in my Release folder while it's not normal behaviour (my VS never does that for my other projects).
Anyway, I managed to fix the problem using a good old trick - I just recreated the whole solution from scratch and vshost.exe file is only created in Debug folder, like it should. It seems that my previous solution was messed up somehow.
Issue closed.

Watch it Back - Hopeful Chats about Climate Change
Posted by Claudia Tormey on January 13, 2021 at 02:07 PM
There's no denying it, the last few weeks have been very difficult. We're living through a period where every glimmer of hope we can find is precious - and to be treasured. With that in mind, we wanted to share the recording of a webinar that we hosted just before Christmas - Hopeful Chats about Climate Change. People left the webinar feeling very hopeful - and it continues to give us hope when we think back about it now! You can watch it back here in your own time.
Dr Cara Augustenborg did a super job of chairing the discussion and spoke from her own experience as a climate scientist, activist and mother.
Prof. John Sharry spoke about the importance of facing our emotions in response to the climate crisis and how we can channel these emotions into positive action to help the environment around us and to push for system change.
Youth climate activist, Aiyana Helder, spoke about her activism and the importance of having a support network, such as being involved in an activist group, to support our resilience and personal wellbeing to prevent burnout. We were particularly struck by this quote from Aiyana:
"I understand that many of you may be confused and even angry that we are trying to highlight hope and emotional wellbeing in such a hopeless existential crisis. But the main message is that no change can come about if hope doesn't exist and people are paralysed by inevitability. My best work started when I recovered from my crippling eco-depression and turned it to action because the sheer amount of people also fighting and creating little pockets of the future they want within the present, gave me hope. I am still terrified and furious almost all the time but hope fills the glass that I pour action from."
Author, Oisín McGann, talked about his work running storytelling workshops at schools. These workshops were a way to engage young people on the topic of climate change. Oisín also shared his motivations for writing 'A Short, Hopeful Guide to Climate Change' - the book we are crowdfunding to publish in the new year.
It's conversations and projects like these that really give us hope. We hope that watching it will lift your spirits too.

Wilson runs for three TDs and passes for the winner as Wolfpack knocks off Seminoles
by Mike Potter 10/29/2010 01/11/2023
(Photo by Rob Rowe)
N.C. State's Russell Wilson scores a touchdown, starting a Wolfpack comeback.
CARTER-FINLEY STADIUM N.C. State plays one of its biggest football games in a very long time tonight as Florida State visits the Wolfpack's jam-packed house.
If the Wolfpack can win its remaining five games, it will win the Atlantic Division and play in the ACC Championship Game on Dec. 4 in Charlotte.
If the No. 16 Seminoles win, NCSU, which hasn't won in the series since 2006, can only hope to finish up a good season on a strong note.
Plenty of bowl scouts are here, as representatives of the Orange, Chick-Fil-A, Champs Sports and Sun Bowls are in a press box which has never been as packed.
Somewhere in the house is former Wolfpack head coach and long-time Seminoles assistant Chuck Amato, seen wearing a custom-made polo shirt with half of it in Wolfpack Red and the other half in Seminole maroon.
And it turns out to be a great night to be a Wolfpacker, as the home team scores in the last three minutes and hangs on for a 28-24 win.
Christian Ponder goes horizontal to avoid being sacked.
The Wolfpack gets onto the board the first time it has the ball, going 51 yards in 12 plays with Russell Wilson going in from a yard out at 7:55 of the quarter. Josh Czajkowski's kick makes it 7-0.
FSU ties the score with 7:12 left in the half when Christian Ponder scores from three yards out to complete an eight-play, 75-yard drive and Dustin Hopkins adds the boot. The officials' decision on the field was overturned, as the replay judge determined that when Ponder was airborne and his right hand holding the ball hit the pylon, he was neither yet down nor out of bounds.
The Seminoles quickly get another chance, when the Wolfpack's Dean Haynes fumbles on the next play from scrimmage and FSU's Kendall Smith recovers at the NCSU 18. Five plays later Ponder goes in from two yards out, and Hopkins' boot makes it 14-7 at 5:03. Haynes has a "possible concussion" and isn't coming back tonight.
FSU makes it 21-7 at halftime, as Ponder hits Willie Haulstead from 11 yards out to complete an eight-play, 72-yard march with 46.4 seconds left in the half. Hopkins kicks.
The Wolfpack fights back, again scoring on its first drive following the kickoff. NCSU goes 68 yards in 13 plays with Wilson going in from 10 yards out and Czajkowski adding the boot to make it 21-14 with 10:00 left in the third.
And the Wolfpack gets a sudden change with 9:02 left in the third, as Ponder is sacked and fumbles with J.R. Sweezy on the recovery at the Seminoles' 22. Three plays later Wilson goes 20 yards up the middle for the score, and Czajkowski's kick ties the score at the 7:42 mark.
The Seminoles get the lead again with 9:07 left, as Hopkins boots a 31-yard field goal that completes a nine-play, 51-yard march.
But it's certainly not over. The Wolfpack comes back to take the lead with 2:40 left when, on the fourth attempt from the FSU 1 — after Coach Tom O'Brien finally decides not to go for the field goal — Wilson finds George Bryan open near the back of the end zone to complete the 13-play, 70-yard drive. Czajkowski's try makes it 28-24.
Then come the defensive heroics. FSU has almost no trouble driving from its own 29 to the Wolfpack 4, but NCSU comes up with its biggest defensive play in the careers of any current player as Ponder fumbles after another sack and Nate Irving recovers.
Wilson has a dream game, completing 18 of 28 passes for 178 yards and the touchdown with one interception, also carrying 17 times for 69 yards and his three touchdowns. Mustafa Greene adds 76 yards on 17 carries.
Ponder completes 17 of 28 for 196 yards and the one touchdown, rushing for the two scores as well. Ty Jones carries 10 times for 108 yards for FSU, while Kendall Smith is in on a whopping 16 tackles to go along with his fumble recovery.
They said it …
N.C. State coach Tom O'Brien: "Just another day at Carter-Finley, huh? But I'll tell you what, that was a great effort. We got ourselves a little discombobulated after the fumble in the first half and got on our heels, but certainly coming out in the third period and playing the way we did and getting the touchdown, we talked about how they got a turnover (in the first half) and we didn't.
"You have to give Florida State credit, they came back, too. Both of us ended up throwing the same pass at the end of the game. We were able to complete ours and they didn't. That was the difference in the game."
Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher: "."
Wilson: "We definitely wanted to go for it (on fourth down) as a team, but it was the coaches' decision and I feel like they made the right decision. We were at home and on the one-yard line and we had to get it in. (The opening to Bryan) was like the Red Sea. It felt like it anyway. I just wanted to make sure I got it to him."
Irving: "We had a play called (on the big fumble), but in the formation they came out in we had to check it. We got off to a good start, but we have to learn how to put our foot on the gas and not giving teams so many second chances. The way we won the game means a lot. We all had to stick together and face a great Florida State team and come back and win."
That the Wolfpack is bowl-eligible and in control of its own destiny.
1. Wilson.
2. Greene.
3. Kendall Smith.
Wilson's touchdown pass to Bryan.
All-time series
FSU leads 21-10.
NCSU: Won 1.
FSU: Lost 1.
NCSU at Clemson, Nov. 6, TBA
FSU vs. UNC, Nov. 6, TBA
N.C. State students Emily Fronk, Alex Weitzel, Chris Becker and James Trasatto cheer on their classmates after a Wolfpack first down.

We have been a tad behind the eightball of late (some of us were on vacation, scouting out future migrants in Belize), and are now trying to catch up.
Marco Lips took some great shots at DeKorte during last week's storm, so we thought we'd post them today, when we have another nice wintry mix.
Says Marco: "We did not see any people (I wonder why…),just ducks, and snowflakes flying horizontally."
(Thanks, Marco!) More of Marco's pix below.
We had a great trek through the snows of Harrier Meadow this morning, topped off by great views of the (snowy) Northern Shrike. Had a few really good other birds as well. Full report tomorrow.
A couple of photographers have sent in some shots of Northern Harriers in Lyndhurst from the weekend.
We'll post another by Chris Takacs later in the week.
