On August 16, 2020, 'The Ed Sullivan Show' official YouTube channel begins a tribute to one of rock 'n' roll music's most iconic talents with a special rollout of performances that spanned three appearances on the show. That Elvis Presley became the King of Rock 'N' Roll is pop culture legend, and America's most popular variety program catapulted him to the throne when 60 million viewers -- more than two-thirds of all TV viewers at the time -- tuned in to watch his first appearance in 1956.
"Appearing on The Ed Sullivan Show meant everything to Elvis," said his lifelong friend, associate, and colleague Jerry Schilling during an exclusive interview recently with Andrew Solt on August 6, 2020. "At the end of his third appearance when Ed Sullivan goes over to Elvis and says, 'I wanted to say to Elvis Presley and the country that this is a real decent, fine boy. We have never had a pleasanter experience on our show with a big name than we had with you; you're thoroughly alright. Let's have a tremendous hand for a very nice person.' When you look into Elvis's eyes at that moment, you knew he felt accepted and sincerely proud. Ed had given him that endorsement."
Nearly 50 years after The Ed Sullivan Show wrapped its final episode and charmed TV viewers for the final time on Sunday night June 6, 1971, it officially joined the streaming universe to live on forever on June 12 thanks to the deal between UMe and SOFA Entertainment Inc. to globally curate The Ed Sullivan Show, encompassing the influential television program's historic 23-year primetime run on CBS and marking the first time performances and guest segments from the program are officially available in their entirety across streaming services worldwide. Elvis Presley is among the thousands of clips that are regularly being made available to fans.
Bruce Resnikoff, UMe President & CEO, said, "The Ed Sullivan Show brought a phenomenal talent into millions of living rooms and helped catapult Elvis Presley into the hearts and minds of music fans all around the world. We are proud to make these amazing performances officially available on streaming services."
"Elvis on Ed Sullivan was the original Big Bang of rock 'n roll," said Andrew Solt, CEO of SOFA Entertainment. "The first night 60 million tuned in to witness the young man from Memphis sing his heart out. Overnight popular culture was upended. Elvis was James Dean and Marlon Brando multiplied. His boundless talent and charisma captivated America. In a few short years, Elvis and rock 'n roll had conquered the planet."
Josh Solt, President of SOFA Entertainment, said, "It is truly exciting to work with UMe to make these Elvis Presley clips available to existing fans and future generations."
While the August 16 kick-off pays tribute to the anniversary of Presley's passing in 1977 with clips from throughout his three appearances, September celebrates his first-ever performance on The Ed Sullivan Show, which took place on September 9, 1956. Additional clips will rollout in October, which was a special month in the life of Elvis Presley. His first public performance – at the age of 10 in 1945 – was in October; he arrived in Germany in October 1958 to begin his Army deployment. And, of course, his second appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show was October 28, 1956, when audiences swooned as he sang the heartfelt "Love Me Tender."
Throughout its Sunday evening run, The Ed Sullivan Show brought the hottest performances from around the world and introduced emerging talent to America's living room every Sunday night. In addition to Elvis Presley, the show featured some of the earliest or first televised performances of music superstars including Stevie Wonder, The Band, The Beach Boys, The Beatles, The Jackson 5, The Mamas and the Papas, The Supremes, and The Rolling Stones.
Among the voluminous gems in this vast catalog are iconic clips that have primarily only been available in excerpted versions on EdSullivan.com or as low-resolution digital "bootlegs." UMe uploads new videos daily, including scores of rarities available digitally for the first time, to The Ed Sullivan Show's official YouTube channel and EdSullivan.com, both newly updated.

Why Were Two F-117s Flying Over Nevada?
The stealthy Nighthawk was retired in 2008, but the birds are still spotted in the air occasionally.
By Jay Bennett
Ethan MillerGetty Images
The F-117 Nighthawk was introduced to the Air Force in 1983 and kept top secret until 1988, but the stealthy attack aircraft made its name in 1991 during the first Gulf War. During that conflict, F-117's scored direct hits on about 1,600 high-value targets in Iraq over the course of 1,300 sorties and some 6,905 flight hours. Not a single F-117 was lost in Operation Desert Storm thanks to its advanced stealth capabilities for the time.
The only F-117 to ever be lost in combat was during a 1999 conflict in Yugoslavia, when it was discovered that older radar technologies could actually spot the bird. Flash forward to 2008, and the Air Force retired the Nighthawk because advances in radar could thwart the F-117s now-dated stealth capabilities—and the shiny new F-22 raptor was more than capable of replacing the Nighthawk in attack roles. It seemed that the venerable F-117 was destined for the same fate as so many other retired military aircraft—a few planes kept in flying condition for airshows, a couple sent to museums, and the rest to the boneyard.
But two Nighthawks were seen two months ago taking off from the Tonopah Test Range in Nevada, a restricted military facility and the home to Area 51. A contributor to The Aviationist caught them on video from a distance during the July flight.
What exactly were these "retired" attack aircraft doing? It's impossible to know for sure, although it is known that a handful of the five dozen retired Nighthawks are maintained for research and testing purposes. The stealthy jet could be used to test and develop new ground-based radar systems or surface-to-air tracking systems. The Air Force could also be testing new systems on the aircraft, such as fighter radar or infrared search and track systems. The Aviationist even suggested that one of the spotted F-117s might have been flying without a pilot—conjecture based on the fact that one of the planes appears to not have a communications antenna on its dorsal spine.
This is actually not the first time the F-117 mysteriously took flight—a hobbyist filmed one flying around the same Nevada test range in 2010, and other Nighthawks have been captured on video and in photos by amateur plane-spotters since then. It seems the Air Force is using the F-117 to work on something, but the public probably won't know exactly what it is for some time.
You can check out more photos of the July F-117 flight on The Aviationist.

Q: Using EWS how to get the meeting organizer working hours start and end time I am using the EWS managed API to pull data from Exchange to a sharePoint application. I am usign the GetUserAvailability method to retrieve the information. Unfortunatly exchange is returning time even outside business hours. The problem is more evident when lets say organizer is in EST and attendee is in Australia time. Both of their working hour is set to local time in there country for example 8 AM to 5 PM local time. So when searching for a common time there should not be any overlap but exchange return the time considering the organizers time zone, which is not the expected outcome. The below code is given for reference.

A Good Friday that will live long in the memory - 2019's biggest moments
We're counting down to Christmas with the biggest moments
Connor Wynne in action for Hull FC
Between now and Christmas Hull Live will be looking back at Hull FC's biggest moments of the 2019 Super League season.
It was a rollercoaster campaign for the Black and Whites but despite the early promise, they finished the season empty-handed.
Nevertheless, in the countdown to Christmas, we'll be looking back at the biggest highs and lows of the season so far.
Number 2: A very Good Friday
The Black and Whites were flying high in confidence when Hull KR arrived at the KCOM Stadium on Good Friday, after beating Catalans in France the previous week in Golden Point extra-time.
As such, few were backing against Lee Radford's side being victorious in the derby, but absolutely nobody was expecting a record scoreline.
FC quite simply wiped the floor with Rovers, running up a 56-12 win, the biggest ever against their cross city rivals.
Hull FC's Jack Logan scores his first try against Hull KR
It was always going to be a high-scoring game with four tries going in in the first 20 minutes of the game. Jake Connor got the scoreboard ticking over before Jimmy Keinhorst levelled in front of the Rovers fans in the North Stand.
But in the space of four minutes Jack Logan went over twice to put Hull into a lead, despite Craig Hall chipping away at it with a try in the 37th minute.

As soon as Albert Kelly was introduced in the second half, though, Hull put their foot down and they were out of sight with Mark Minichiello touching down within two minutes of the restart.
Joe Westerman got in on the action after the hour mark before Kelly, Logan, Mickey Paea and Connor Wynne went over in the space of seven minutes.

René Girard's Thoughts for a New Nuclear Age
by Cynthia L. Haven February 28, 2018
Armed with a copy of the Iliad and a shovel, Heinrich Schliemann set out to find Troy in 1871. Two years later, he hit gold.
He was vilified as an amateur, an adventurer, and a con man. As archaeologists refined their methods of excavation in the subsequent decades, Schliemann would also be deplored for destroying much of what he was trying to find.
Nevertheless, he found the lost city. He is credited with the modern discovery of prehistoric Greek civilization. He ignited the field of Homeric studies at the end of the century. Most importantly, for our purposes, he broke new ground in a figurative, as well as literal, sense: he scrutinized the words of the text, and believed that they held the truth.
"I've said this for years: in the global sense, the best analogy for what René Girard represents in anthropology and sociology is Schliemann," said the French theorist's Stanford colleague, Robert Pogue Harrison. "Like him, his major discovery was excoriated for using the wrong methods. The others never would have found Troy by looking at the literature—it was beyond their imagination." Girard's writings hold revelations that are even more important, however: they describe the roots of the violence that destroyed Troy and other empires throughout time.
Like Schliemann, the French academician trusted literature as the repository of truth, and as an accurate reflection of what actually happened. Harrison told me that Girard's loyalty was not to a narrow academic discipline, but rather to a continuing human truth: "Academic disciplines are more committed to methodology than truth. René, like Schliemann, had no training in anthropology. From the discipline's point of view, that is ruthlessly undisciplined. He's still not forgiven."
I have appreciated Harrison's analogy, though some of Girard's other friends will no doubt rush to his defense, given Schliemann's scandalous character—but Girard scandalized people, too: many academics grind their teeth at some of Girard's more ex cathedra pronouncements (though surely a few other modern French thinkers were just as apodictic). He never received the recognition he merited on this side of the Atlantic, even though he is one of America's very few immortels of the Académie Française.
For Girard, however, literature is more than a record of historical truth, it is the archive of self-knowledge. Girard's public life began in literary theory and criticism, with the study of authors whose protagonists embraced self-renunciation and self-transcendence. Eventually, his scholarship crossed into the fields of anthropology, sociology, history, philosophy, psychology, theology. Girard's thinking, including his textual analysis, offers a sweeping reading of human nature, human history, and human destiny. Let us review some of his more important conclusions.
He overturned three widespread assumptions about the nature of desire and violence: first, that our desire is authentic and our own; second, that we fight from our differences, rather than our sameness; and third, that religion is the cause of violence, rather than an archaic solution for controlling violence within a society, as he would assert.
He was fascinated by what he calls "metaphysical desire"—that is, the desire we have when creature needs for food, water, sleep, and shelter are met. In that regard, he is perhaps best known for his notion of mediated desire, based on the observation that people adopt the desires of other people. In short, we want what others want. We want it because they want it.
Human behavior is driven by imitation. We are, after all, social creatures. Imitation is the way we learn: it's how we begin to speak, and why we don't eat with our hands. It's why advertising works, why a whole generation may decide at once to pierce their tongues or tear their jeans, why pop songs top the charts and the stock markets rise and fall.
The idea of mimesis is hardly foreign to the social sciences today, but no one had made it a linchpin in a theory of human competition and violence, as Girard did, beginning in the 1950s. Freud and Marx were in error: one supposed sex to be the building block of human behavior, the other saw economics as fundamental. But the true key was "mimetic desire," which precedes and drives both. Imitation steers our sexual longings and Wall Street trends. When a Coca-Cola advertisement beckons you to join the glamorous people at a beach by drinking its beverage, mimetic desire poses no immediate privations—there is enough Coca-Cola for all. Problems arise where scarcity imposes limits, or when envy eyes an object that cannot be shared, or one that the possessor has no wish to share—a spouse, an inheritance, the top-floor corner office.
Hence, Girard claimed that mimetic desire is not only the way we love, it's the reason we fight. Two hands that reach toward the same object will ultimately clench into fists. Think of A Midsummer Night's Dream, where couples dissolve and reassemble, tearing friendships asunder as the two men suddenly want the same woman. Whatever two or three people want, soon everyone will want. Mimetic desire spreads contagiously, as people converge on the same person, position, or possession as the answer to a prayer or the solution to a problem. Even conflict is imitated and reciprocated.
Eventually, one individual or group is seen as responsible for the social contagion—generally, someone who is an outsider, who cannot or will not retaliate, and so is positioned to end the escalating cycles of tit-for-tat. The chosen culprit is therefore a foreigner, a cripple, a woman, or, in some cases, a king so far above the crowd that he stands alone. The victim is killed, exiled, pilloried, or otherwise eliminated. This act unites the warring factions and releases enormous social tension, restoring harmony among individuals and within the community. First the scapegoat is a criminal, then a god— more importantly, the scapegoat is both, since the single-handed power to bring either peace and harmony or war and violence to a society is seen as supernatural. Oedipus is deified at Colonus, Helen of Troy ascends Mount Olympus, and even as Joan of Arc is burned at the stake, the mob begins to murmur, "We have killed a saint!" Archaic religious sacrifice, Girard argued, is no more than the ritual reenactment of the scapegoat's killing, invoking the magical powers that preempted a societal catastrophe previously. He offered a complete deconstruction of religion, just as he had deconstructed desire.
He not only replaced Freudian desire with a more streamlined notion of mimesis, he also reconsidered Freud's Totem and Taboo, the psychoanalyst's ventures into archaeology and anthropology, at a time when the book was largely rejected. Girard took its notions of collective murder, and its insight that the foundation of culture is murder, one step further. He reaffirmed the book's importance, but ultimately refuted it with his daring, erudite argument.
His next step was to prove the most provocative of all: he describes how the Judeo-Christian texts are unique in revealing the innocence of the scapegoat, thus destabilizing the mechanism that allowed the victim to be both criminal and redeemer, the violent solution to social violence. We can no longer have clean consciences as we murder. Individuals and groups even compete for the cachet of being a victim in the Oppression Olympics, as the power-holders play defense. Wars continue, but end with no clear resolutions. International rivalries still escalate toward uncertain ends. The stakes are higher than ever today: we teeter on the nuclear brink.

It all began in February 2015 when a group of volunteers from the Food Bank of the Greek Evangelical Church of Katerini first set foot in the refugee camp at Idomeni, situated near the border of Greece and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM). Αfter border closures in early March 2016, thousands of refugees were stranded at Idomeni under deplorable living conditions. From August 2015 through April 2016, twice-weekly missions (every Wednesday and Sunday) organized by the Food Bank/GEC of Katerini traveled to Idomeni aiding in relief efforts. Provisions (food, water and clothing) were distributed to the refugees in need, which totaled approximately 500 Euros per week and funded by the GEC of Katerini and the General Synod of the Evangelical Church of Greece.
It is worth noting that the majority of the members of the GEC of Katerini are descendants of Greek refugees from Pontus (modern-day eastern Black Sea Region of Turkey), Cappadocia and Asia Minor. Our ancestors were forced to abandon their homes in 1922, an event that was later sealed with the Lausanne Treaty (1923) between Greece and Turkey which mandated the compulsory population exchange between the two countries. Therefore, we at Perichoresis can identify with the plight of today's refugees and strive to provide relief to those in need as we pay tribute to our ancestors, many of whom went missing, were killed, or perished at sea.
Perichoresis, established in October 2016 by members of the Greek Evangelical Church of Katerini, operates under the auspices of the GEC of Katerini and the General Synod of the Evangelical Church of Greece.

U.S. Sen. Roy Blunt says he supports the plan for dual local-federal investigations into the circumstances of Saturday's police shooting in Ferguson of 18-year-old Michael Brown, whose death has ignited violence.
"This is a case where redundancy is a good thing,'' said Blunt, R-Mo., as he talked to reporters Tuesday morning while visiting with businesses along the St. Louis riverfront.
Blunt said he agreed with the approach of St. Louis County Executive Charlie Dooley and county Police Chief Jon Belmar. They are cooperating with federal authorities but also are planning to conduct a local probe as well. County Prosecutor Bob McCulloch also is investigating the incident.
"Parallel investigations of what happened will be one of the things that leads to some sort of closure,'' Blunt said.
In the joint letter, Clay and his allies said that the St. Louis County Police Department "may not be the most objective or credible body'' because of previous controversies involving racial profiling.
Blunt had a harsher assessment of President Barack Obama, reaffirming his longstanding view that his administration deserved much of the blame for the chaos and conflict now consuming much of Iraq.
"I think we made a huge mistake when we didn't leave a residual force in Iraq,'' Blunt said, referring to the administration's withdrawal by 2011 of all American troops.
The president has said the U.S. had little choice because the Iraq government declined to extend an agreement that barred Iraq from arresting U.S. soldiers and putting them in Iraqi prisons.
Blunt reinterated his opinion that the Obama administration has viewed Iraq through the eyes of preventing another Vietnam conflict, when the senator said a better comparison would be Korea – where the United States has had a military force in place for 60 years.
But now, Blunt isn't sure that the United States can correct what he views as its missteps in Iraq. "It's a disastrous situation," with the country overrun by terrorists and consumed by religious unrest that he said threatens the stability of the region and the world.
"I don't think that chaos can be fully managed by a few air strikes here and there,'' Blunt said, referring to recent action by the U.S. military to halt the advance of militants and to drop supplies to refugees stranded on mountains.
U.S. Sen. Roy Blunt, R-Mo., contends that a residual U.S. force left in Iraq could have prevented the sectarian violence now ripping the country apart, and he says the blame is shared by Iraqi leaders and President Barack Obama.
"We would have made a big impact if we'd left some people there,'' Blunt said during a conference call Wednesday with Missouri reporters.


Imagine that you have agreed with an auto dealer to purchase the luxurious Belchfire X-1 automobile, for which you agree to pay $45,000, with monthly payments to extend over a period of three years. You sign the sales agreement, and are then told to return the following day to sign the formal contract, which you do. When you arrive two days later to pick up the car, the dealer presents you with the title and keys to a much lesser model, the Klunkermobile J. When you ask the dealer to explain the switch, he points to a provision in the contract that reads: "Dealer shall be entitled to make 'reasonable' adjustments it considers to be 'necessary and proper' to further the 'general welfare' of the parties hereto." He also tells you that the amount of the payments will remain the same as for the Belchfire X-1; that to provide otherwise would be to impair the obligations of the contract. You strongly object, arguing that the dealer is making a fundamental alteration of the contract. The dealer then informs you that this dispute will be reviewed by a third party – his brother-in-law – who will render a decision in the matter.
Welcome to the study of Constitutional Law!
The rationalization for the existence of political systems has, at least since the Enlightenment, depended upon the illusion of a "social contract"; that governments come into existence only through the "consent of the governed" as expressed in a written constitution. I know of no state system that ever originated by a contract among individuals. This is particularly true in America, where the detailed history of the drafting and ratification of the Constitution illustrates the present system having been coercively imposed by some upon others. If you doubt this, a reading of the history of Rhode Island will provide you with one example.
By its very nature, a contract depends upon a voluntary commitment by two or more persons to bind themselves to a clearly-expressed agreement. The common law courts have always held that agreements entered into through coercion, fraud, or any other practice that does not reflect a "meeting of the minds" of individuals are wholly unenforceable. Nor have the courts looked favorably upon transactions that purport to bind parties forever. If I should agree to work for you for $5,000 a month and, after two years of such employment, choose to go work elsewhere, no court of law – not even in Texas – would compel me to continue working for you.
The idea that contractual obligations can arise other than through voluntary undertakings has been firmly established in our culture. Statist efforts to impose duties upon others are often promoted under the myth of an "implied" contract (e.g., by driving a car, you "impliedly consent" to purchase insurance; by living in America you "impliedly consent" to be bound to obligations to which you never agreed). By this logic, if I lived in a high-crime area, it could be argued that I had "impliedly consented" to be mugged, or to be bound by the rules of the local street-corner gang. The idea that the government can force people into contractual relationships is at the heart of the current Supreme Court case dealing with "Obamacare." The enactment of such a form of "involuntary servitude" is what leads a few thoughtful minds to question whether it violates the 13th Amendment!
Even accepting the fantasy of a "social contract" theory of the state creates more fundamental problems. The legitimacy of a contract depends upon the existence of "consideration." This means that the party seeking enforcement must demonstrate a changing of one's legal position to their detriment (e.g., giving up something of value, making a binding promise, foregoing a right, etc.) Statists may argue that their system satisfies this requirement – by supposedly agreeing to protect the lives and property of the citizenry, and agreeing to respect those rights of people that are spelled out in the "Bill of Rights." The problem is that – thanks to the opinions of numerous brothers-in-law who comprise the Supreme Court – the powers given to the state have been given expansive definitions, and the rights protected by the "Bill of Rights" are given an increasingly narrow interpretation.
Thus, Congress' exclusive authority to declare war is now exercised by presidential whim; while its power to legislate does not depend upon any proposed law having been either fully drafted or read! Fourth and Fifth Amendment "guarantees" re "searches and seizures" or "due process of law" are so routinely violated as to arouse little attention from Boobus Americanus. First Amendment rights of "speech" allow the state to confine speakers to wire cages kept distant from their intended audiences, while the right of "peaceable assembly" is no hindrance to police-state brutalities directed against peaceful protestors. With very little criticism from Boobus, one president declared his support for a dictatorship, while his successor proclaimed to the world his unilateral authority to kill anyone of his choosing – including Americans! Meanwhile, torture and the indefinite detention of people without trial continue to be accepted practices.
Having been conditioned to believe that the Constitution exists to limit the powers of the state and to guarantee your liberty, you try employing such reasoning with the car dealer. You direct his attention to another contractual provision that reads: "All rights under this agreement not reserved to the Dealer shall belong to the Buyer." But he tells you that he is adhering to the specific terms of the contract by making "reasonable adjustments" that are "necessary and proper" to "further the general welfare of the parties." Whatever "rights" you have are, by definition, limited by this broad grant of authority.
Once the courts – or the car dealer's brother-in-law – define the range of the parties' respective authorities, the mutually-exclusive logic of the 10th Amendment applies: if the government or the dealer is recognized as having expansive definitions of authority, there is very little that remains inviolate for the individual. The language of the 9th Amendment is more suitable to the argument on behalf of a broader definition of liberty. This provision reads: "The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people." This catch-all language suggests that the Ninth Amendment protections are far broader than the combined "rights" of all the other amendments. A reading of judicial history reveals only a very small handful of cases ever having been decided under this section. Of course, the words in this amendment are also subject to interpretation by state officials. This fact is what conservatives fail to understand when they bleat about wanting "to get back to the Constitution." The government has never strayed from the Constitution; these words have been in that document from the beginning. They have, however, been interpreted according to the ever-changing preferences of those in power.

Martin Tothill Is Fascinated By His Bees And So Are We
The other day I was invited to spin honey in the lovely home of Martin Tothill. He has been keeping bees for around 10 years and sells the honey they make as Hartington Honey…
Walking into his home you are hit with the sweetest smell, and upon walking into the kitchen I caught a glimpse of the golden liquid sitting in the honey comb just waiting to be spun and sieved by Martin.
I met the beekeeper in the classic white beekeeping suit, he walked me outside in his wellington boots to see his acery and showed me the hives, one bee flew very close to me and Martin gently cupped the bee in his hand and brushed it lightly away.
Credit: Martin Tothill
Later when we sat down we spoke about the moment and how calm martin was and he told me that mostly bees are just curious they aren't coming after you maliciously. Once you get over that you don't have to be scared of them anymore.
He tells me that the women worker bees will sting you, but the male drones will not and nor will the queen bee as she only ever stings other queens.
In his whole career as a beekeeper, Martin has only ever had one box of angry bees. He says on the whole bees are good but when a queen bee starts to get older she doesn't smell as strong and this can make the bees a little upset as they communicate through their sense of smell. The main rule is to stay calm and to stay quiet and then bees are pretty relaxed.
Martin told me of a story when he went to Stanmer to see some bees with his daughter dressed in her little bee suit. Upon opening the box he realised they were furious and went after him.
"I was left with these comedy bee trousers, they'd just surrounded me trying to sting me and I was walking around with this comedy outfit on," Thankfully he wears two pairs of trousers.
He got into bee keeping accidentally on a visit to Cornwall with his wife and one of their daughters. They met a lovely old couple who had about 150 hives, he fell in love with their quaint lifestyle in which they would sell a bit of honey and do teas and coffee.
Martin immediately thought I'd like that but didn't pursue it until a couple of years later when at Plumpton College he reminded himself that it was something he'd like to have a go at.
Credit: Emily Stoner
When chatting, he told me of Joe, the man who mentored him and showed him how to bee keep. He followed him around and eventually went with him to a field in the middle of Lewes to get his first swarm. They climbed a tree and stuck them in a box, he tells me the general rule is if you find the swarm then they are yours. Although you can buy boxes of bees but it'll cost you a pretty penny of around 200 pounds.
The reason I got in touch with Martin originally was because he was looking for a place to keep his bees as each as his garden is too small of a space to keep them now.
In the summer months bees reproduce, they will create a new queen and as you can't have two queens in one hive. The eldest queen will take half of the bees with her, this is why in the summer you see clouds of bees in the sky.
Martin has many facts like this, he told me about the different types of bees and that honey bees will make about 1 teaspoon of honey in their life time. We revealed at the amount of work that goes into one jar of honey.
He does this because he is fascinated by them. He describes it like diving into a whole different world. A world you'd be mad to dive into but as a beekeeper you do it regularly. After a while you understand them and what is going on, you get to see the baby bees or the making of a new queen.
Like him I was completely captivated by them, making my own jar of honey felt like magic. His business is very small but it is something he does to get some alone time as he works in a very busy environment.
"It seems like a good thing to do – you read a lot about how bees are important and how bees are in decline and we love our garden and all things outdoors"
The honey itself is great for christmas presents, or gifts for when people pop over! Martin has regular customers and supplies a couple of cafes, a lady from Shoreham drives over to get some and others will just knock on his door.
He wants you to know that bees are more frightened of you, your bigger than a bee and although a sting is a scary thing it's a bees last resort. He hopes to be beekeeping well into the future and from seeing his passion I think he will be.
Was amazing to meet you Martin and thank you for the honey!

Wisconsin Badgers Basketball Preview: Biggest questions to answer
Andy Coppens
The 2018-19 Wisconsin Badgers men's basketball season is almost upon us. After an 82-70 exhibition win over Wisconsin-Oshkosh on Friday, the games will count for real starting with a visit by Coppin State on Tuesday, Nov. 6.
That game will air on BTN Plus and be available via the Badgers radio network as well.
As we inch closer to the season, many familiar faces will be back. Heck, UW returns just over 94 percent of its scoring from last season.
Despite all that returning talent, the Badgers of 2017-18 were a team that broke a famous streak — missing the NCAA tournament for the first time in 20 years.
So, what will be different in 2018-19? Wisconsin will start the season nearly 100 percent healthy. UW will have guards D'Mitrick Trice and Kobe King back and will only see sophomore forward Aleem Ford on the shelf to start the season (he is expected back during the season).
After watching the exhibition game and knowing all that troubled the Badgers last season, let's explore the biggest questions that face the Badgers heading in to the season opener.
Where will the outside scoring come from?
This has been an ongoing issue for the Badgers, one that doomed them time after time last year. Simply put, UW's swing offense is predicated on getting an inside-out game going.
It didn't work last season and if the exhibition game was any indication there's a lot of work to be done there heading in to 2018-19 as well.
Wisconsin was just 4 of 16 from deep with Happ, Iverson, King and Trice each getting one deep ball to go down. Now, it was nice to see Happ extending his shooting range, but Davison, King and Trice all need to show they are more deadly than the combined 3 of 9 they shot in that game.
If that trio can't get going from beyond the arc, it could be trouble for the Badgers this year. The smart money says that a healthy Davison and King are a good combination to get going from deep, but we need to see it in action to be confident in it actually happening.
How quickly will the backcourt rotation settle itself?
One thing was clear in the Badgers exhibition game — UW's coaching staff has little idea what rotation makes the most sense. Of course, the exhibition game is time to experiment, but at one point the Badgers had four guards and Happ on the floor and had played six guards overall in the first 10 minutes of the game.
It appears the likely group of starters will be D'Mitrick Trice and a healthy Brad Davison along with either Kobe King or Brevin Prtizl getting looks as a starter as well.
But, could the Badgers take one of those spots away in hope of getting Ethan Happ, Khalil Iverson and Nathan Reuvers on the court together too?
What about Prtizl's defense and tenacity? There's also Green Bay transfer Trevor Anderson and freshman Tai Strickland who looks to be a primary backup to Trice.
How do you fit all of those pieces together to a cohesive unit in the backcourt?
Will Happ have help on the inside?
For most of the 207-18 season it was as Happ goes, so go the Badgers. There was very little help on the inside either, with a physically overmatched freshman in Nathan Reuvers thrown in to the mix because they had no one else they could trust up front.
Reuvers responded by averaging a decent 5.3 points, 2.0 rebounds and 0.9 blocks while playing an average of 16.6 minutes per game.
Wisconsin hasn't been able to trust either Charlie Thomas or Alex Illikanen and judging by the fact that neither showed up in the exhibition game until it was well in hand, that appears to be the case in 2018-19 as well.
The good news is that Reuvers adds some outside shooting help when paired with Happ. If the two bigs can co-exist it could be a good thing for the Badgers in 2018-19.
But, the Badgers front court needs to be more than a two-horse race. This is where senior Khalil Iverson comes in to play. His offensive inconsistency was a big hinderance last season and that needs to change, because his ability to slash and get to the rim is badly needed. That was on full display in the win over Oshkosh on Friday, as Iverson basically lived at the rim and poured in 13 points. He was just 6-12 shooting from the field, but that's a bit misleading as a lot of "missed" shots came as he was crushed going to the basket.
This threesome seems to be the Badgers only group of front court players that will see significant minutes in 2018-19, as recruits Taylor Currie and Joe Hedstrom will likely redshirt this year.

Q: VScode use built-in variables, like $TM_FILENAME_BASE and others, in snippet choices I have a question about snippets and choices. I would like t0 use variables in choices. Is this possible?
"test": {
"body": ["${1|choice1,choice2,$TM_FILENAME_BASE|}"],
"desciption": "test",
"prefix": "test"
}

Has somebody a solution for me?

A: Unfortunately, it is impossible to include variables in snippets.
However, there is an alternative.
My example:
    "Now": {
        "prefix": "NOW",
        "body": "${CURRENT_HOUR}:${CURRENT_MINUTE}${1| TODAY, |}",
        "description": "Now"
    },
    "Today's Date": {
        "prefix": "TODAY",
        "body": [
          "$CURRENT_DAY_NAME_SHORT, $CURRENT_MONTH_NAME_SHORT $CURRENT_DATE, $CURRENT_YEAR"
        ],
        "description": "Today's Date"
      }

, by which you can expand the "TODAY" snippet by tab once more.

A: There is an issue filed on this: Support Snippet Variables in Snippet Enums.
Which is now a candidate for the Backlog list - so go and upvote the issue if you would like to see this implemented natively.


While a federal judge may have halted President Donald Trump's controversial executive orders banning refugees and people from seven majority-Muslim nations, the action failed to stop a growing groundswell of anger from Silicon Valley.
That backlash has drawn lots of media attention, but less noticed is how tech companies and their leaders are responding with philanthropic giving.
As Inside Philanthropy previously reported, the ride-sharing app Lyft was the first to step forward, pledging $1 million to the ACLU over the next four years. In addition, Instacart founder Apoorva Mehta announced in a series of Twitter posts that his company would be donating $100,000 to the ACLU as well.
"As an immigrant who grew up in one of the countries that was banned, I'm sad and angry with what is happening," he said.
Twitter and its employees have also responded. Nearly a thousand Twitter employees pledged over a half-million dollars to the ACLU, which was then matched by CEO Jack Dorsey and executive chairman Omid Kordestani—for a total of $1.59 million.
According to TechCrunch, a host of other tech executives have also made individual donations to the ACLU, including from companies such as Stripe, Nest, Intercom, Facebook and Sequoia Capital.
But the biggest move so far has been by Google, which confirmed last week that it would dedicate $4 million toward efforts to fight the ban and cope with its fallout.
The gift came in the form of a crisis campaign fund toward which Google would match employee donations up to $2 million for gifts to the American Civil Liberties Union, Immigrant Legal Resource Center, International Rescue Committee and the U.N. Refugee Agency. Media reports suggested it was the largest such fund in the company's history.
There are both personal and business dimensions to Google's giving, here. The company co-founder, Sergey Brin, was born to a Jewish family in Russia that fled to the U.S. in 1979 from Soviet anti-semitism. Brin was among the thousands of protesters at San Francisco International Airport, where he told reporters, "I'm here because I'm a refugee."
Meanwhile, Google, like many of Silicon Valley's sharpest players, often relies heavily on foreign talent to maintain its competitive advantage, a point it reiterated in a statement accompanying the announcement of the fund.
"We're concerned about the impact of this order and any proposals that could impose restrictions on Googlers and their families, or that could create barriers to bringing great talent to the U.S.," said Google. "We'll continue to make our views on these issues known to leaders in Washington and elsewhere."
We've written extensively about the corporate philanthropy of Google, as well as the individual giving by Brin, co-founder Larry Page and Alphabet Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt. Both Brin and Page have built up foundations with endowments of over a billion dollars, while Schmidt and his wife Wendy have emerged as active philanthropists in the areas of science and the environment.
So far, though, the giving by Google and its high command has been relatively safe. Brin's biggest causes have been Parkinson's and local anti-poverty efforts. Page drew attention a while back for his major give to help contain Ebola. Google's corporate giving has also been uncontroversial.
Can we now expect a sharper edge in Google-related philanthropy as the tech company and its billionaire leaders find themselves in an adversarial stance against the Trump administration?
As we've discussed before, the biggest tech companies run major risks if they are seen as partisan or biased. These companies have often likened themselves in importance to utilities, and the public has a right to expect political neutrality from such critical players. Which means the chieftains at Google, Facebook, and some other giants have to walk a fine line, here.
Even among companies who haven't given yet, there has been near-unanimous criticism of Trump's executive orders. On Sunday evening, a coalition of the industry's biggest players including Google, Apple, Facebook, Twitter and Microsoft filed an amicus brief opposing the travel ban to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit.
The jockeying speaks to a desire to get ahead of the curve of public opinion. "We might even slot this within the broader ambit of virtue signaling," said Rajsingh.
Still, while flash-in-the-pan activism can be as easy as cutting a check or dumping a bucket of ice water on your head, it remains to be seen whether Silicon Valley will stick with real policy activism over the long hall.

Veracruz is Spaans of Portugees voor Heilig Kruis. Vera Cruz (de oude spelling) wordt ook nog wel gebruikt. Tijdens de antiklerikale hervormingen gedurende de nasleep van de Mexicaanse Revolutie werd de Spaanse naam veranderd in Veracruz om het minder christelijk te laten klinken. In het Portugees is het ook Vera Cruz gebleven.

Please make sure you are fully aware of the UKiR Rules - particularly the rules about general conduct and in-game chat messages.
Blue Flags during qualifying - if you see a blue flag during qualifying it will be on your outlap and the driver approaching is on a hotlap. Please take this into account and act accordingly. The driver behind does not know you are on an outlap so no rash moves out of the way please Usual SRouk rules / guidelines should be applied.
Blue Flags during the race - if you see a blue flag during the race it means the driver approaching is about to lap you. Please take this into account and act accordingly. It differs from GTR2 in that you will not be penalised for not allowing the lapping driver to pass within a certain period. The flag is informational only. Usual SRouk rules / guidelines should be applied.
This combo was too good to miss and seeing as I made a minor hash of last week's race and plenty of you have practiced here already, I figured it had to be worth a re-run....albeit a fraction shorter than the original planned 80 mins!
I was lucky that my only timed lap that counted in Q was good enough for pole. Dave got a rocket start from 3rd to lead the first two laps but he was very slow in T1 and once I got alongside coming out of there, he let me go.
After a few shaky laps I settled into my pace and just had to reel off the laps. Nearly came to grief with 3 to go when I dropped a wheel on the grass braking for T2, but brought it home for the win.
That was a much better performance from me. Picked up Picnic's shared setup and found it undrivably oversteery, so with some practice time available this time I set about tweaking the worst of it away with toe and caster changes. Went out in qually on race fuel and immediately got a PB so I stopped after that first lap to focus on the race start, knowing I would be at best 3rd on the grid.
Tee hee, I thought that might happen. The secret is to select first and have no revs on, then just stamp on the loud pedal when the lights turn green and let the automatic clutch carry you off the line (even with autoclutch on ).
Was determined to lead at least the first lap after that and duly did so, but knew I was having to be ultra conservative in T1 and Mike was soon in a position for me to do the sensible thing and allow him by. Picnic was also obviously faster and a few laps later he got a good tow coming out of the final corner and I let him make a soft pass into T1 and pull away.
Oily on the other hand was going to get no such courtesy and I pushed fairly hard for much of the race, trying not to bite off more than I could chew in the really dangerous first and last corners and being somewhat concerned by the huge inconsistency in my pace, often 1-2 seconds a lap, and by my lack of concentration.
Eventually Oily cracked and had to reset and I cruised round for much of the remained of the race. Fuel was tight so I backed off even more, too much I think as I locked the rears braking for turn 3 on the penultimate lap and ended up wrestling the car over the grass trying to avoid the wall or a spin. With Oily taking a second reset and Mike not close enough to lap me I threw caution to the winds on the last lap and was rewarded with a decent time, slightly better that Picnic's FL but nowhere near Mike's.
I find this car so hard to get any feel for; I'm sure that on the right line I could take T1 flat, but even with a brief lift, if I'm so much as a few inches to either side of the right line I end up spinning or crashing.
In the end I was happy to finish on the lead lap and make it a Team Shark podium lock-out.
I really enjoyed this combination, last week's early start meant I'd only ever driven 4 laps in the Lotus anywhere by the start of qualifying. 2 laps here and 2 at Brands when I first got the car. Really must try these things out more! However cruising round to 2nd last week obviously gave me a chance to learn and this week with that practice and a straight car I went almost 2 secs quicker. If only I could have done my optimum time I'd have done a 1:48.076 but I'm tooling around 1.5 secs off that as consistency is so hard.
Thanks for not contesting T1 too hard Dave I thought you'd made it easy as you'd expect me to fall off somewhere like I usually do but even with the 4 of 5 big moments I had, each one I collected, I pleased to have kept the thing off the barriers (only 1 incident point pleases me, the other 6 were for attempted donuts and hitting Oily after the end). Sadly with you ~40 secs behind there was no way I was trying a eyeball out last lap and throw away a chance to beat you. A very very rare event these days.
I don't really get a lot of steering feel in iR but I found after last week's practice I really did get a feel for the car. I'm amazed that you found the setup (Fabio's from last week BTW) too oversteery Dave. You'd definitely gone that way with your later LM setups to the point I couldn't drive them for that very reason. By staying off the curbs I found the setup pretty stable.
Will there be a race this week Oily & with what car+track?
Certainly will be my good man - will stick some details up this eve so you've got a little more warning than last week!

Residents, Fellows and Doctoral students
Dear Program Directors:
We are pleased to write to you to make you aware of a new initiative at the University of Toronto, called The Health, Arts and Humanities Program. The goal of this program is to broaden the experience of learners in Undergraduate Medical Education and Postgraduate Medical Education to themes of narrative competence, reflective capacity and to explore the role of arts-based learning in the formation of physician identity.
We are writing to ask your assistance in identifying leaders in your program who would be willing to act as a mentor/resource person for developing such competencies during residency and fellowship training, and who can help direct learners in their arts and humanities-based learning and research. The goal is community-building within your specialty area and beyond (see below).
The Health, Arts and Humanities Program advances a deeper understanding of health, illness, suffering, disability and the provision of healthcare by creating a community of scholars in the arts, humanities and clinical sciences at the University of Toronto. Learners at the University of Toronto have already been exposed to portfolio-based learning and to various learning experiences such as reading and film discussion groups. We would like to continue these initiatives into postgraduate training as well.
Benefits To Our Residents and Fellows:
A growing international literature has demonstrated that healthcare professionals who seek out exposure to the humanities and arts-based learning improve their capacity to think critically and bring enhanced sensitivity, curiosity and creativity to their work with patients. They learn to challenge personal assumptions and biases, to stretch their world view and to become more reflective practitioners. This in turn can lead to better self-care, personal balance and greater career satisfaction.
Help Us Identify Humanities Leaders In Your Residency Program!
Our goal is to find at least one faculty lead in each residency program who is passionate about the role of humanities-based training in postgraduate education and would be willing to mentor and direct trainees in arts and humanities-based initiatives. This could be an amateur (or professional!) writer, musician, painter/artist/photographer, film-buff, ethicist, dancer, actor, medical historian or philosopher who is passionate about their discipline. If you are willing to play this role or can suggest a colleague, please let us know!
You can email your contact info to: pgdean@nullutoronto.ca, with a cc to the Health, Arts and Humanities Program Director, Allan Peterkin at APeterkin@nullmtsinai.on.ca.
Many thanks for your help with this worthwhile initiative.
