eMarketplaces Will Create Ample Opportunities Throughout Latin America, Once Hurdles Are Cleared, IDC Says
FRAMINGHAM, MA – AUGUST 15, 2000 – The explosion of business-to-business Internet commerce has reached Latin America in the form of emarketplaces. Latin American start-ups and traditional brick and mortars are in the process of launching numerous initiatives to seize the opportunity presented by emarketplaces.
"IDC views the emergence of emarketplaces as a strategic trend that will dramatically transform the competitive landscape in the region and accelerate ecommerce activity," said Anna Giraldo Kerr, research manager for IDC.
Although IDC is optimistic about the future of emarketplaces in the region, the technology market research firm warns many obstacles must be overcome before rewards can be reaped from this revolutionary concept.
"eMarketplaces are in an embryonic stage" said Annika Alford, research director for IDC. "They will have to overcome several challenges to become the key dis-intermediary agents we believe the market needs."
According to IDC, one challenge emanates from the strong looming competition emerging from within the region. "Latin America-specific emarketplaces of similar vertical or horizontal specializations are popping up throughout the region and will pose significant competition to each other," Alford said. "The resulting battle to bring in the Latin enterprise and establish a strong client base, and the growing focus on the region among U.S.-based players will help to usher in a period of acquisition and consolidation within the region similar to that seen in the region's ISP market in 1999."
This competition will also bring about a strong need to localize services. "The absence of localization will result in lower perceived value-add among prospective emarketplace participants," Kerr said. "However, the need to focus on localized services may prove too costly in a market that spans multiple small country markets and where capital is tight."
Once the market does overcome the hurdles it faces, however, the rewards will be plentiful.
"The greatest benefit and opportunity of emarketplaces is their ability to bring ecommerce to the slower technology adopters in each country throughout Latin America, " Kerr said. "By doing this, emarketplaces will play a significant role in driving Latin America into the new economy."
IDC's recent bulletin eMarketplaces in Latin America: The Next eParadigm (IDC #LA1029G) defines what an emarketplace is and explains how it differs from other B2B models such as eprocurement and edistribution. This bulletin looks at the emergence of emarketplaces in Latin America and discusses the opportunities they will create as well as the challenges they will face.

In the future, students may have the choice of studying at home by using technology such as computers or television or of studying at traditional schools . Which would you prefer?
Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
Sample Essay:
If I have a choice between studying at home using computers and television or studying in a traditional school setting, I'd choose the traditional setting . Maybe it's just what I'm used to ,but I don't think that technology can replace teachers and classrooms.
Toefl writing: What plant is important to you or people in your country?
Topic: What is the one thing you will do to improve your community?
Toefl writing topic: What do you do to achieve good health?
Toefl writing topic: How do you make your complaint?
Send one thing representing your country to an international exhibition
After all, technology can fail. Computers go down and computer programs crash. Televisions break, and the electricity can suddenly go off. In those situations, who's going to teach me? If I'm at school, and the television or the computers stop functioning, there's a teacher to step in and change the lesson plan. Teachers can draw on their teaching experience and be creative. Computers and televisions can't.
I'd also miss the chance to interact with other students if I weren't going to school. I think learning to play and work with other people is one of the most important lessons we learn in school. It prepares us for life, and for working with other people. Being with other people also helps us discover who we are.
Another concern I have about studying at home is getting distracted. It's strange, but I think being home alone is more distracting than being at school with a lot of people. At school, we're all focused on the same subjects. At home, it would be so easy to turn off the computer or the television and go do something else. I might tell myself that it's okay to play a computer game now and make up the study hours later. Chances are, I'd never make up the study hours.
I'm all in favor of using technology in the classroom. I think computers and television are great ways for students to have access to a lot of information. I just don't think they should be the only tools I have as a student. I also need teachers and other students to help me get a complete education.

Biografia
Nata forse nel 1580 a Bergamo dal barone Cattaneo di Bergamo e da Faustina, sposò l'incisore Leonardo Norsini, che prese il suo cognome. Sua sorella, Geronima Parasole, anche lei un'intagliatrice, realizzò l'incisione di Antonio Tempesta chiamata La battaglia dei Centauri (Battle of the Centaurs).

Fu madre di Caterina nata nel 1596, Giovanni nel 1597, Lucrezia nel 1599, Cristofaro l'anno successivo e Olimpia nel 1602 e morì all'età di 50 anni.

Secondo altre fonti generò Bernardino Parasole che divenne un pupillo di Giuseppe Cesari, ma morì in giovane età.

Attività
Isabella svolse la sua attività a Roma. Eseguì diverse incisioni di piante per un erbario, pubblicato sotto la direzione di Federico Cesi, di Acquasparta.
Pubblicò un libro nel 1597 dal titolo Studio delle Virtuose Dame, dedicato a Giovanna D'Aragona, contessa di Cardona (1575–1608) e citato da Giovanni Baglione nell'opera Vite  del 1642; nel 1616 pubblicò un altro libro sui metodi di realizzazione di pizzi e ricami, con tagli ornamentali, che ha inciso a partire dai suoi propri disegni. Dedicò il libro a Elisabetta di Francia (1602–1644).
In seguito alla pubblicazione del suo libro nel 1597 usò il nome di Isabella, che rimase prevalente nella storiografia.

Lassithi plateau, situated at 840m ASL on the island of Crete, is a natural fortress with a particularly fertile land, surrounded by mountains. There, in the Dikteon cave, it was believed that Zeus was born, hidden in safety from his devouring father Cronus. According to the myth, the goat Amalthea nourished baby Zeus. Cornucopia (horn of plenty), the symbol of abundance, which is commonly depicted in western art, has one of its origins in this legend. Similarly, this rich land has nourished the inhabitants of Crete for centuries. Typical of the Greek rural areas, it has been under economic stress, long before the generalized debt crisis and the 21st century can be noticed only through fragmented pieces. "Cornucopia" is an on-going artistic research attempting to form a contemporary photographic trace of the plateau's elusive identity. As we persistently confront our experiences and knowledge of this place, we slowly shape an unintended path that is open to interpretation.

WHEN THE SHIT HITS THE FAN, WHAT WILL IT SMELL LIKE?
The ever-rising use of anti-fungicides on crops is driving the evolution of fungi capable of resisting all known drugs. Candida auris, a variant that is spreading rapidly in various parts of the world, is estimated to kill ten million people by the year 2050.
Here, the New York Times describes an outbreak in April, 2019:
"hospital workers used a special device to spray aerosolized hydrogen peroxide around a room used for a patient with C. auris, the theory being that the vapor would scour each nook and cranny. They left the device going for a week. Then they put a "settle plate" in the middle of the room with a gel at the bottom that would serve as a place for any surviving microbes to grow, Dr. Rhodes said. Only one organism grew back. C. auris.
It was spreading, but word of it was not. The hospital, a specialty lung and heart center that draws wealthy patients from the Middle East and around Europe, alerted the British government and told infected patients, but made no public announcement.
"There was no need to put out a news release during the outbreak," said Oliver Wilkinson, a spokesman for the hospital.
This hushed panic is playing out in hospitals around the world. Individual institutions and national, state and local governments have been reluctant to publicize outbreaks of resistant infections, arguing there is no point in scaring patients — or prospective ones."
So it's spreading rapidly in many parts of the globe, and nobody wants to talk about it.
We're all aware that Armageddon may be just around the corner, but we don't know where to look, and even if we were looking the in the right direction, we may not see it. If there is a nuclear exchange between warring countries, or even a "dirty bomb" attack, spreading radioactivity from a conventional explosive encased by anything from radioactive waste to pure plutonium, most of us will not directly witness this event. Those who do will probably not be around to talk about it. We all will, however, feel the effects for years afterwards.
Even so, most disasters are harder to directly observe than one would assume. Most of us first witness a flood via a "road closed" sign and a policeman waving his torch to tell us to keep moving. Our first sign of a global catastrophe might be the ATM not working. The Internet might be down, or dramatically slow. Our cellphones might not work. Hours later, we might begin to hear rumors and then official announcements, explaining what happened and what we were supposed to do in response.
I was in Argentina when the currency suddenly devalued in 2001. Without warning (except that the higher-ups in government had advanced notice to send their savings abroad) bank accounts that had been equally denominated in dollars and pesos were now only available in pesos. Within a few months, the peso was devalued by four hundred percent. Withdrawals at banks were limited to twenty dollars per day, then ten, then five. The government declared a "bank holiday" to announce all this. Beware of sudden government-announced holidays.
If there is a enormous plague outbreak, or a nuclear war, you can bet the first thing that will happen is travel will become restricted. You will need official permission to go most places. Visa-on-arrival will disappear. Currency withdrawals will be closely monitored and limited.
In an attempt to quell panic, these changes will be announced as "temporary" but will soon prove to be permanent. After the Patriot Act became law following the World Trade Center attacks of September 11, 2001, many freedoms we took for granted were suspended and then eliminated. Most of us didn't notice.
The fact most of us are reluctant to consider is that there's a good chance at sometime in our lifetimes we're going to face a catastrophe, and the governmental sources which we depend upon will fail us. If they are able to do anything at all they will, as happened in Argentina, take care of their own first.

A CHEERFUL THOUGHT
In 1859 a solar storm, a geomagnetic event, sent a gale of charged particles through the vacuum of outer space and towards Earth. This storm was so powerful that it knocked out the only form of telecommunication that existed at the time, the telegraph. Such powerful storms occur on average once every five hundred years. If such a storm were to happen today, it would knock out the Internet, GPS, and most forms of broadcasting.
The last time this happened, the world was a simpler place. People ate food that grew nearby. Financial markets were not highly leveraged. Nobody expected to be able to deal with the kind of complexity we rely upon today.
If GPS goes, so will air and ship travel. Tropical fruits could no longer be part of a North American or European diet. Where would we get coffee or chocolate? Tourism will vanish for a while.
So will international banking and most trade. If the Internet goes, people will keep trying to log on to find out what's going on. The organizations and systems the Internet replaced would have to be resurrected. That would take some time. During this period of crisis, it would not be unusual for other, bigger crisis to emerge. A Perfect Storm of problems, which could combine to amplify the sum effect and result in real catastrophe.
When famine occurs, it doesn't take as long as you might assume to lose a lot of people. It's a matter of weeks until the tipping point is reached. And then bodies start piling up, usually on street corners, left there during the night. We don't have much experience of this in the West, but in the East they've had plenty.
One would have to be foolish to think that such an event will never occur. Of course it's not a case of "if" but "when." So what are we doing to prepare for this day?
In a simpler era, amateur radio operators offered some form of mass communications during emergencies, but if this happens, I think we're going to be looking at mayhem. Most of us no longer own a radio, much less a short wave radio. I used to be able to send and receive morse code, but that was a long time ago, and today my telegraph key lies moldering in some Midwestern antique store.
I do, however, still remember the morse code for SOS.

As an owner of a car, I get me turning out to be intelligent on the subject matter of auto wiring. Since I am pretty much the previous man or woman who ought to be playing with whatever that has power current working through it, I became unwilling to effort to tackle the concern of auto wiring.
On the other hand my vehicle made a decision usually in the event it begun to randomly find power methods that this planned to me tamper with. When the electric power seat straps begun to slip rear and forth while not purpose as I drove straight down the freeway, I made the choice I greater figure out how to tamper with the electric power methods, taking into consideration the exuberant rate of auto restoration.
I discovered me personally with a decision either to, break down and devote $100 an hour or so for a so-termed professional to view it and try and repair service it, or I was able to discover how the electro-mechanical method of my car been working. Thinking about my degree of ignorance I possibly would try and overcome the extremely hard. Naturally the only point I recognized about electro-mechanical solutions is that AC/DC was a rock and roll ring and that beginners and wiring normally failed to get on.
However even with my reluctance, I lay out to know what I could about motor vehicle wiring. I easily found out that there is a enormous offer of facts available on the theme of motor vehicle wiring. A fast explore The search engines given me with an assortment of facts. There are many different concentrations of sites presenting facts.
Some sites given a simple analysis of the normal electro-mechanical method of most cars. A company given its name Long Destination Customs supplied some good simple facts. They mentioned that the facts was basically for a simple knowing and not for a detailed reason of selected models. However they in fact offer some comprehensive info on simple solutions such as AC and illumination. Additionally, they offer some good difficulties shooting facts.

A common complaint I hear from people when they begin eating healthier is that the food is "bland" and "flavorless." Because of all of the artificial flavoring, preservatives, and excess salt that is put in processed foods it has caused society's tastebuds to be underdeveloped and makes it more difficult for people to appreciate flavor from real sources. That is why I highly encourage seasoning your foods with spices, and using a wide variety of herbs and spices. Building your spice collection is key to enjoying, not only cooking, but eating.
Also, did you know that you can buy spices in bulk? Buying spices in bulk is great if you're wanting to try out new ones for the first time. You can only buy a little at a time and if you like it you can decide to go buy more. If you hate it, then you didn't waste your money on a whole bottle of it. Spices that are sold in bulk are usually in containers so you're able to smell them before purchasing them, which can help you decide whether or not you would use it. Places like Whole Foods, Earth Fare, and local co-op grocery stores usually sell spices in bulk. I definitely recommend buying spices like this if you're just starting to expand your spice collection or your palette.
There has never been a time where I wasn't obsessed with cinnamon. Fall time or not, cinnamon should be used all year. It is the perfect spice to put into a warm bowl of oatmeal, sprinkle on top of a sweet potato, apple slices, or a hot cup of coffee. Cinnamon is not only delicious, but it also has a ton of health benefits! Believe it or not cinnamon helps to control blood sugar, as well as control appetite, and it even can lower LDL ("bad") cholesterol.
Like cinnamon, ginger is a spice that is typically used during the fall, but should definitely be used throughout the entire year. Ginger and cinnamon go hand in hand, so wherever/whenever you used cinnamon use ginger as well! Just like cinnamon, ginger has plenty of health benefits: immune support, helps with nutrient absorption, reduces inflammation, and improves blood flow.
Cumin is an incredible spice to use in almost any hearty dish. I love using cumin when I'm making Mexican inspired dishes because it gives a smoky and deep flavor that is so incredible. I throw cumin into chillies, stir fries, stews, soups, guacamole, and tacos. Again, cumin is a spice that has nutritional benefits as well: it's rich in iron and fiber, aids in digestion, prevents premature aging, reduces toxins in the body, and even helps relieve stress and anxiety.
I don't even like to consider turmeric a spice, but rather a form of medicine. Not only is it delicious but it is seriously an incredible health booster. The nutritional benefits that are packed into this spice is unbelievable, so I definitely try to use turmeric in as many dishes as possible.
Turmeric is commonly found in Indian cuisine, so I like to use it when I make curries, or other Indian dishes. It is good in Mexican cuisine too, combining well with chili powder and cumin as well as cayenne pepper. So now that you know how to use it, let me tell you why you need to use it: Turmeric is highly anti-inflammatory, helps reduce oxidation in the body, helps brain function, can lower risk or Alzheimer's and heart disease, relieve stress, and even help delay aging.
I absolutely love using mustard powder when cooking. Any dish I use it in becomes so rich and filled with flavor, I just love it. Of course ground mustard is more flavorful than the condiment so be careful with adding too much! Ground mustard seed is great to use with the other spices I've mentioned (cumin and turmeric). It definitely provides a depth of flavor with a hint of spice. And naturally, ground mustard seed is full of nutritional benefits which makes it that much better! Ground mustard seed has some omega-3 fatty acids which are important to have in your diet, it also is an anti-oxidant, and is full of minerals such as iron, magnesium, and calcium.
Also, I have a hard time reading the new font you are using.

Hudson Valley Auctioneers Rings In 2023 With 500 Diverse Lots - Antiques And The Arts Weekly

Hudson Valley Auctioneers Rings In 2023 With 500 Diverse Lots
Ringing up $12,500 and claiming top lot status was this Chinese blue and white vase of double gourd design, decorated with figures, plants and designs, 12½ inches high.
Review by W.A. Demers, Photos Courtesy Hudson Valley Auctioneers
BEACON, N.Y. – Hudson Valley Auctioneers celebrated New Year's Day 2023 with an unreserved antiques and estate auction on January 1. It is traditionally one of the firm's best sales of the year, and this particular auction offered 500 lots of traditional antiques, lots of silver and jewelry and estate treasures. "Our annual New Year's Day sale, our 40th, was a success with solid bidding from internet, phone and absentee bidding," said the firm's general manager/junior partner, Theo de Haas, following the event, which was conducted online only but with in-house viewing for potential bidders. The sale totaled $250,000 and was 100 percent sold, with approximately 1,400 registered bidders.
Chinese porcelain was strong with a Chinese blue and white gourd vase ringing up $12,500 and claiming top lot status. Of double gourd design, the unsigned vase was decorated with figures, plants and designs and was 12½ inches high. It went to one of the firm's regular clients who bids for collectors in China, according to auctioneer Neil Vaughn.
Furniture performed well as well with a set of six burl maple Biedermeier chairs the standout at $5,000. Featuring curved wood backs, front and back with burl veneer and with removable upholstered seats, the chairs were 21 by 17 inches, height 32 inches and seat height of 17½ inches. For couch hounds, a leather Chesterfield sleeper sofa, not old, but in pristine condition brought $2,000. The 88-inch-long sleeper sofa by Distinctive Chesterfields, had been handmade in England in burgundy leather.
Estimated $50-$1,000, an Eldred Wheeler tiger maple secretary desk, featuring a four-drawer base and two-door top found favor with bidders, who pushed it to $3,750
Among a selection of estate carpets such as scatters and room-size examples, this room-size Heriz commanded $2,500.
A very large eagle zinc pilot house eagle found its way to a final price of $5,313, while the same price was achieved by an ebonized center table with Cornelius Vanderbilt II history.
The fine art category was notable with several Dutch oil paintings, one of which a Dutch School shipwreck scene, unsigned, going out at $3,000. The early Dutch oil, probably Seventeenth Century, of two ships in distress, walked into the gallery from a local home.

Q: Null pointer exception is displayed while trying to replay Jmeter script I am trying to replay my JMeter script where i am clicking on few buttons to navigate betweenenter image description here webpages.

A: It looks like you're trying to load test a web application with Spring Session Management enabled. It means that you will not be able to replay the recorded script "as is" without applying correlation to it.

*

*Record your script one more time

*Compare 2 resulting .jmx scripts and identify the differences

*Inspect previous page response to locate the dynamic element, extract it into a JMeter Variable using a suitable JMeter PostProcessor and replace recorded hard-coded value with the relevant variable

In most common setups it is enough to add HTTP Cookie Manager to your Test Plan to automatically handle cookies and HTTP Header Manager to send the relevant session header value which can be obtained from the cookie, however implementation might be different. You need to reach out to your web application developers to learn more about the details.

Alan Blinder on "A Monetary and Fiscal History of the United States, 1961-2021"
MoAF/Fordham Financial Issues Forum (VIRTUAL)
Wednesday, February 15, 2023 | 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM
Join us for a virtual event with Alan Blinder, one of the world's most influential economists and one of the field's best writers, as he discusses his latest book, in conversation with renowned economic historian and former MoAF Chairman Richard Sylla. In A Monetary and Fiscal History of the United States, 1961-2021, Blinder draws on his deep firsthand experience to provide an authoritative account of 60 years of monetary and fiscal policy in the United States. Spanning 12 presidents, from John F. Kennedy to Joe Biden, and eight Federal Reserve chairs, from William McChesney Martin to Jerome Powell, this is an insider's story of macroeconomic policy that hasn't been told before.
Focusing on the most significant developments and long-term changes, Blinder traces the highs and lows of monetary and fiscal policy, which have by turns cooperated and clashed through many recessions and several long booms over the past six decades. From the fiscal policy of Kennedy's New Frontier to Biden's responses to the pandemic, the book takes readers through the stagflation of the 1970s, the conquest of inflation under Jimmy Carter and Paul Volcker, the rise of Reaganomics and the bubbles of the 2000s before bringing the story up through recent events―including the financial crisis, the Great Recession and monetary policy during COVID-19.
Alan Blinder is a professor of economics and public affairs at Princeton University and a regular columnist for the Wall Street Journal. He served as a member of President Clinton's original Council of Economic Advisers and then as Vice Chair of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System in 1993–1996. Blinder has written scores of scholarly articles, and authored or co-authored 21 books, including the best-seller After the Music Stopped (2013) and Advice and Dissent (2018).
Richard Sylla is professor emeritus of economics and the former Henry Kaufman Professor of the History of Financial Institutions and Markets at the NYU Stern School of Business. He is the author or co-author of several books, including Alexander Hamilton on Finance, Credit, and Debt; Alexander Hamilton: The Illustrated Biography; and Genealogy of American Finance. He was chairman of the Museum of American Finance from 2010-2020.
This program is FREE, but advance registration is required. Registered guests will receive the access link prior to the event.


There has been a great deal of concern expressed in the medical press and by professional bodies such as the Royal Colleges as to the implications of the recent decision by the High Court to uphold an appeal by the General Medical Council (GMC) to erase Dr Hadiza Bawa-Garba from the medical register following her conviction for Gross Negligence Manslaughter in November 2015.
Dr Bawa-Garba was a doctor in training at Leicester when she was involved in the treatment of Jack Adcock, a six-year old child who tragically died whilst in our care in February 2011. There has been much speculation and comment on social media in relation to University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust (the Trust) and in particular as to what level of support was offered to Dr Bawa-Garba subsequent to Jack's death leading up to her conviction for Gross Negligence Manslaughter at Nottingham Crown Court in 2015.
We feel that it is important to set the record straight in terms the support provided by the Trust to staff both then and now.
Please read more in the following statement.

Peñíscola (in valenciano Peníscola, ufficialmente: Peñíscola/Peníscola) è un comune spagnolo di 6.149 abitanti situato nella comunità autonoma Valenciana.

In quanto residenza dei papi Benedetto XIII e Clemente VIII, questa località valenzana è stata al centro del cosiddetto Scisma aragonese, conclusosi nel 1429 in seguito agli accordi presi durante il concilio tenutosi a Pavia e a Siena cinque anni prima.

Nel 1956 ha ospitato le riprese del film italo-spagnolo Calabuig ed è anche il sito della famosa "Meereen" ne Il Trono di Spade.

Monumenti
 Il castello dei Templari (detto anche castello di Papa Luna), il Papa dello Scisma d'Occidente che qui risiedette.

Nel castello sono state ambientate anche le scene della serie Il Trono di Spade.
 Le fortificazioni medievali e rinascimentali che circondano la città vecchia
 La chiesa parrocchiale della Vergine del Soccorso e l'eremo della Madre di Dio d'Ermitana
 Il faro
 Casa de las Conchas le cui facciate sono interamente ricoperte da conchiglie.

Justa Mir, la proprietaria della casa, fu la prima guida turistica della città. Iniziò a lavorare perché la sua famiglia aveva problemi economici e avevano bisogno di trovare un modo per risollevarsi. Grazie al suo lavoro poterono iniziare a realizzare questo edificio, e il suo amore per il mare la portarono a ricoprirla di conchiglie rendendolo un edificio originalissimo collocato poco sotto il faro.

Le cale di Peniscola

Lungo la costa di Peniscola sono presenti diverse cale, più o meno accessibili, tra queste:
 cala Argilaga
 cala Badum (che prende il nome della torre Badum)
 cala del Volante
 cala l'Aljub
 cala Ordi
 cala Puerto Azul

COCONUT CREEK, FLA. (WSVN) - A man who said he was the victim of a hate crime in Coconut Creek was arrested over the weekend and is now facing some serious charges.
Monday morning, Benjamin Siegel appeared in bond court and faced charges of aggravated battery causing bodily harm and battery on a police officer.
Hours later, a third charge of attempted murder was added.
According to an affidavit, Siegel yelled out "You're dead!" before he intentionally drove his car onto the sidewalk and hit Robert Hernandez on the street where both men live, Sunday afternoon.
Police said after the incident, Siegel left the scene and drove home. When officers went to arrest him, they said he spit on them twice.
Police said Hernandez suffered injuries to his right ankle.
Siegel's arrest comes days after he accused Hernandez's brother-in-law, Brandon Kittendorf, of vandalizing his home and car.
Siegel accused Kittendorf of spray-painting racial slurs on his vehicle. 7News cameras captured the car defaced with red spray paint, Wednesday.
Kittendorf has denied the allegations.
A 7News crew was present where Siegel and Kittendorf exchanged words following that incident.
Police said Siegel and his neighbor have been feuding for a long time. They are still investigating what happened in the vandalism case.
Siegel's attorney, Kenneth Padowitz, said his client will plead not guilty. "We're going to go forward with or investigation and take it from there," he said.
Siegel is being held on a $21,000 bond, but due to the newly added attempted murder charge, it is unclear whether he will be released.
Siegel has been ordered to have no contact with Hernandez, wear an ankle monitor and undergo a psych evaluation.
"Just as a precaution, we are going to make sure that an evaluation is done of my client by a top forensic psychologist," said Padowitz.


About – Have You Lost Your Damn Mind?!?
Have You Lost Your Damn Mind?!?
I've always loved to write. I write essays, poetry, songs…I write it all.
The only thing that I know how to write about is life and reality as I experience it. I've never been very good at fiction, though I admire those who are. What I write about is real and raw and painful and joyful and angry and…all the things that make up real life. Especially those things that we feel so deeply that they leave us forever changed.
This is my place to write. I hope something you read here touches you, makes you laugh, makes you angry, makes you cry, makes you happy, makes you feel…it's all true. I don't know how to write any other way.

Films I'm Thankful For by Zephyr Ash Ostrowski
As the cold wind wraps around us in the Midwest, it's that time of year where we're supposed to reflect on our blessings and what we're thankful for that happened this year. I won't sugarcoat it; this year's been trying for a lot of us. However, instead of another lengthy piece of dry and critical anger, I'll keep things lighthearted and tell you the films that I'm glad to have seen. They all have a small personal anecdote, all of them experiences in their own right, but each one means different things to me.
The Room: There's something to be said about this generation's version of Plan 9 From Outer Space. So much of it goes so wrong and yet it's enjoyable to watch. From the nonsensical dialogue to the inexplicably questionable character decisions, nothing adds up the way it should. It gives me great joy to introduce the film to different people and watching their reactions. I caught a limited engagement of The Room when The Disaster Artist was making the rounds for awards season and watching it with a crowd who appreciated the absurdity of the film elevated it to a new level, complete with the trappings of a Rocky Horror Picture Show screening: the chants, the laughs, the various remarks. It's an experience best shared with friends.
The Straight Story: During the fall of my freshman year of college, my film club had us watch the pilot for Twin Peaks. I sat in the screening room alone, immersed by the surreal nature of it all. I then branched out and started developing my love for David Lynch. In my research, I discovered that he had only one G-rated film that was released by Disney. Luckily, I learned that my library had it in their collection as the sole David Lynch film in their catalog (Blue Velvet wouldn't be added until years later), albeit on videotape. I didn't care and what I got was a heartfelt meditative piece about what it means to make amends with family, no matter the odds. It's one of the more forgotten films in Disney's catalog, given their penchant for only re-releasing their most popular stuff and ignoring other things (but that's an essay for another time), but it's well worth the watch even if you're not an avid David Lynch fan. Sometimes you need to take things slow and that's perfectly fine.
Koyaanisqatsi: I was briefly aware of the Qatsi trilogy as my mother owned the soundtrack to the sequel that she would play from time to time. As a college sophomore, I found a bootleg upload of Koyaanisqatsi on Vimeo and gave it a watch, transfixed by the time-lapse photography and score by Philip Glass. Sitting down for a wordless message on how the way we're going is nothing but a road to destruction is something that bears repeating in today's world, especially when the planet is dying day by day. I've sat and thought about the film while waiting in traffic, imagining the famous Grid sequence as the frame rate increases into luminous chaos, streaking across the screen. And then, as the film winds down with a solemn dirge, you realize that life shouldn't be this way. A viewing of it every now and then only emphasizes its importance.
La La Land: The start of 2017 was rough for a vast majority of people, myself included. Only a few months after being sent home from work to deal with a bizarre health problem, I was feeling as low as I possible could. But a few months into the new year, someone introduced me to a guy who would become my current partner. This movie was the first one we saw together. It wouldn't be until a month later that we officially got together but this was one that has stayed with us. Sure, it's by no means perfect, but when you walk through the door carrying donuts and Ryan Gosling singing "City of Stars" on your phone as a way to wake him up on your one-year anniversary, it's special. Besides, it was a welcome moment of escapism.
Scanners: Considered the most accessible of David Cronenberg's work, my youngest brother plucked this off my shelf one night and it's one of the few films he's really enjoyed. It's got some great practical special effects (even if there's a visible wire in a brief shot), early neurodiversity storylines, and one of several great Cronenberg films from that time period, it's something that we've bonded over ever since that first viewing. We then watched it with our dad and he told us that he snuck into a screening of it when he was underage, something that astounded both of us. My brother has gone on to purchase his own copy of the film and is eager to show it to friends on his college campus. I don't know if he'll go on to watch some of the other stuff like Videodrome or Naked Lunch but I'm glad to have watched it with him.
Avengers: Infinity War: I'm by no means the most ardent Marvel fan; heck, I haven't seen half of the films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. However, this particular film was special because it was a crossover for the ages. Not only did we see everyone come together on the big screen, it was also the first time I met Austin and Albert in person after knowing them online for three years. In turn, they got to see the man that I love and we all had an amazing time spending time in Little Rock and recording an episode for The Film Room. Yes, Infinity War is only halfway done and we still have to see what happens to Thanos but to me, some of the best parts of the film were beyond the screen.
Cloud Atlas: Easily my favorite Wachowski sisters' film, it's a cinematic masterpiece. Adapted from what was considered as an impossible-to-film novel, they take all six storylines and weave a tapestry from it. At the same time, it's their first theatrical film since Lana revealed her transition and the themes about gender and identity are all present. In a film that best exemplifies that our actions are louder than words, you get to see how everything is connected over the course of centuries and hours. It's a dense film that requires multiple viewings but it's one that is on mind several times a week since I first saw it in spring 2014. And really, if a film can create that much of an impact on you, it has to be pretty special.
Dekalog: Back in college, I stumbled upon a small online film group that would review each entry of the 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die series. There was advance notice that someone picked this Polish television miniseries for review and, because it's ten hours long, more time was needed to do a thorough review. I found the complete series on YouTube and settled in my small corner in the computer lab, marooned from home by the heavy snow, and slowly worked through it. It's the perfect series to watch in the wintertime with a glass of milk by your side (milk is a recurring element in the show) and watch something incredibly masterful and poignant. For me to fully explain how incredible it is, that's going to require two different entries at most. All I can say is that I strongly recommend Dekalog.
And so, as we look towards one more month of the year, it's time to get festive. That means I get to bring the small tree out from the utility closet, break out the sweaters and gay apparel, and dig up my canon of Christmas films. My fingers are crossed that I get a chance to share some of them with friends and broaden their horizons for better or worse. It also creates some interesting problems that I'll explain next month because there's a subgenre of Christmas media that is baffling to me. For now, have a pleasant Thanksgiving and if there's anyone that needs a loving heart, I'm here.

Q: Concise notation for assigning `unique_ptr`? I have a pointer to a parent class and I want to assign a new child object to that pointer conditionally. Right now, the syntax I have is rather lengthly:
std::unique_ptr<ParentClass> parentPtr;
if (...) {
  parentPtr = std::unique_ptr<ParentClass>(new ChildClass1());
} else {
  parentPtr = std::unique_ptr<ParentClass>(new ChildClass2());
}

Is there a good way of making this more readable / less lengthly?

A: Two possibilities would be:
std::unique_ptr<ParentClass> parentPtr(condition ?
    (ParentClass*)new ChildClass1() :
    (ParentClass*)new ChildClass2());

If condition is complicated, just assign a boolean to it and then write the construction. This solution only works for a binary condition though.
Another is to embrace C++14, and use
parentPtr = std::make_unique<ChildClass>();

A: First off, the "obvious" solution C ? new X : new Y does not work, since even if X and Y have a common base class A, the types X * and Y * have no common type. This is actually not so surprising after all if you consider that a class can have many bases (direct or indirect) and a given type may appear as a base multiple times.
You could make the conditional operator work by inserting a cast:
A * = C ? static_cast<A *>(new X) : static_cast<A *>(new Y);

But this would quickly get long and tedious to read when you try to apply this to your real situation.
However, as for std::unique_ptr, it offers the reset function which can be used to good effect here:
std::unique_ptr<A> p;

if (C)
{
    p.reset(new X);
}
else
{
    p.reset(new Y);
}

Now even if the actual new expressions are long, this is still nicely readable.

Q: The proper callback from threading mode in c# I'm using threads to connect to multiple clients (PLCs) from my program. Program will send data and receive response from the PLC(s).. The problem im having is, when in debugging mode, (toggle breakpoint) one step at a time..the program work pretty much ok!, with the ID received confirming that it's coming from one of the thread.. but if I just debug without toggling any breakpoint, the response event will receive the same ID, although on different thread.. what could be wrong...
Debugging mode with breakpoint:
Debugging mode without breakpoint:
Below is my code
Start Request:
private void StartRequest()
{
    foreach (ModbusTCP work in works)
    {
        work.Connect();
        Thread.Sleep(1000);
        if (work.Connected)
        {
            try
            {
                Thread thread = new Thread(new ThreadStart(() => work.StartReadHoldingRegister())) {
                    Name = ((ReadHoldingRegisterParam)work.SetReadHoldingRegisterParam).id.ToString(),
                    IsBackground = true
                };
                work.OnResponseEvent += new EventHandler<ModbusTCP.ResponseEventArgs>(modbus_OnResponseEvent);
                work.OnExceptionEvent += new EventHandler<ModbusTCP.ExceptionEventArgs>(modbus_OnExceptionEvent);
                thread.Start();
                threads.Add(thread);
            }
            catch (ThreadStateException ex)
            {
                MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
            }
        }
        else
            work.Disconnect();
    }
}

Response Event
private void modbus_OnResponseEvent(object sender, ModbusTCP.ResponseEventArgs e)
{
    lock (lockingObject)
    {
        if (e.data.Length > 0)
        {
            this.Dispatcher.BeginInvoke(new Action(() =>
            {
                AddRow(RcvDataGrid, new PLCPacket() {
                    PLCId = e.id.ToString(),
                    PLCIp = "Test",
                    PLCTime = DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss tt"),
                    PLCData = ""
                });
            }));
        }
    }
}

A: Your variable work is shared among the threads. Once a thread is executed it takes whatever value your variable work has. That depends how quick each thread is processed. When you step through your code with a debugger you don't experience that.
If you capture the value before the anonymous method you should be fine:
 try
 {
      // capture the current value of the loop variable
      ModbusTCP localWork = work;
      // so the anonymous method uses the reference in localWork
      // instead of whatever value work has, which can be anywhere
      // the future, worst case after your loop is finished, where
      // work would hold the last value of the loop, and then
      // start all threads with that value.
      Thread thread = new Thread(
           new ThreadStart(
               () => localWork.StartReadHoldingRegister()))
               {
                  Name = ((ReadHoldingRegisterParam) localWork.SetReadHoldingRegisterParam).id.ToString(),
                  IsBackground = true };
               });
       localWork.OnResponseEvent += new EventHandler<ModbusTCP.ResponseEventArgs>(modbus_OnResponseEvent);
       localWork.OnExceptionEvent += new EventHandler<ModbusTCP.ExceptionEventArgs>(modbus_OnExceptionEvent);

A: A side comment:
lock (lockingObject)
{
    if (e.data.Length > 0)
    {
        this.Dispatcher.BeginInvoke(new Action(() =>
        {

This code is very unlikely to be correct. Here you are obtaining a lock in the original thread and then submitting a new action, async. The lock is scoped to the current method, and thus will be released as soon as the BeginInvoke call returns, not during the action itself. The only operations actually guarded by the lock is the e.data.Length check, which operates on a parameter (not shared) state and thus does not need protection.
It would make more sense to place the lock inside the action, but the action is always executed on the main thread and thus is unlikely to actually need protection (because is, basically, single threaded). Is difficult to guess exactly what you're trying to achieve w/o seeing the whole code, but that lock(lockingObject) is very unlikely to be necessary, or useful.

'HEAD FULL OF STEAM
NME May 26, 2000 12:15 pm BST
The in-demand British rockers follow up their sold-out summer dates with another jaunt later in the year...
Radiohead are planning further dates in Europe this Autumn to follow June and July's already oversubscribed tour, according to reports from the US.
The only dates named so far, claims Billboard magazine's website [url=]www.billboard.com, are two nights at the Stade De France in Paris on September 19 and 20. The shows will apparently be staged in a giant circus big-top style tent. The site also claims similar two-night stands will follow in Brussels and in Nijmegen in Holland.
However a spokesperson for Radiohead could not confirm the dates. "They are planning something for the autumn but nothing has been confirmed just now," he said.
The news of the tour goes some way to cement belief that the band's long-awaited fourth album will, as previously reported on nme.com, appear by the year's end. The band are currently mixing and working through tracklisting for the follow-up to 1997's 'OK Computer' with long-time producer Nigel Godrich between rehearsals for their tour, which kicks off in Arles on June 13.
Fans can still buy a limited number of tickets for most of the 16 shows on the tour only on the band's website, [url=]www.radiohead.com, except for Radiohead's British return on July 1 at Scott Walker's Meltdown at the Royal Festival Hall.

Home/Business and development/Gainesville Regional Soccer League looks forward to Forrest Park renovations
Gainesville Regional Soccer League looks forward to Forrest Park renovations
By Brenda Bogle
November 30, 2021	Business and development, Sports
Robbie Posada is no stranger to how physical soccer can be in the heat of competition. But it wasn't a slide tackle or a dirty play that injured him. It was the poor quality of the field.
"I was trying to turn my body 90 degrees, and I couldn't because I got stuck on the field," Posada said. "I almost broke a ligament in my ankle."

Improper drainage has caused the soccer fields at the park to become muddy and hazardous for players. Posada said in the summer it is especially hard to play because increased rain only adds to the problems in field quality.
"I've heard other stories about women getting hurt as well," Posada said. "Accidental slide tackles that aren't supposed to happen."
Drainage is one of the many issues Gainesville Regional Soccer League (GRSL) is hoping to fix with a $2.1 million budget for renovations the Department of Parks, Recreation and Cultural Affairs approved during a meeting in March.
On Nov. 7, residents were invited to attend an open house to offer suggestions on how to improve the park.
Betsy Waite, director of wild and public spaces for the city of Gainesville, sees Forrest Park as a location with a lot of potential.
"It's in a pretty high-density area with all the condos and apartment complexes," Waite said. "We absolutely heard from the community and through Gainesville Regional Soccer League that it needed improvements."
Waite said the GRSL is one of the main stakeholders of Forrest Park and that they have first rights to use that field. The league also helps coordinate for other groups to use those fields.
Following the open house, Waite said they are working toward a potential construction start date in the summer of 2022, but the project is still undergoing the process of permitting and design.
"We're finishing up the design effort after hearing from all the different user groups and people who came to the open house," Waite said.
While the GRSL led the way for making renovation possible, other residents were invited to come to the open house and offer up ideas on how to improve the park. Suggestions included creating more shaded areas and a potential dog park.
Rebeca Denahan, the current treasurer of GRSL, has been involved with the league since 2018 and has worked with other board members of the nonprofit to push for renovations of Forrest Park.
This was not an overnight success story of the GRSL. Denahan said it took board members reaching out to the right people and getting traction with the Department of Parks, Recreation and Cultural Affairs for the department to carve out some money for the park, including the soccer fields.
"This is the hard work of a lot of people," Denahan said. "For us to be able to have the city redo the park for us is a big win, so with that opens up a lot of opportunity for the league."
Isaiah Brinza, public relations and communications director for the GRSL Board of Directors, said the renovations could help with diversifying the league, which is one of its major priorities right now.
"We are trying to spark getting more women players out here," Brinza said.
Denahan has first-hand knowledge of being a woman player in the GRSL and encourages others to get on the pitch.
"It is very intimidating," she said. "I'm here to tell women and any player that we take players from any walk of life."
For Posada, he said the renovations will help diversify the league and make it possible for more women to get involved.
"I come from Miami and this one of the first leagues I've played in that is co-rec and that's pretty cool," he said.

Nicolas Minorsky  (* 24. September 1885 in Kortschewa, Gouvernement Twer, Russisches Kaiserreich; † 31. Juli 1970) war Erfinder eines Gyrometers.

Werdegang
Nicolas Minorsky studierte an der Seefahrtschule in Sankt Petersburg und ab 1908 an der Fakultät für Elektrotechnik an der Universität Nancy. Danach arbeitete er an der Technischen Schule des Zaren, bis zu seiner Promotion auf dem Gebiet der Wissenschaft im Jahr 1914. 1914 bis 1917 diente er in der russischen Marine. In dieser Zeit entwickelte er ein Gyrometer und führte um 1916 Messungen zur Empfindlichkeit des Auges, Winkelgeschwindigkeiten zu erkennen, aus. (J. B. Henderson hatte schon 1907 ein geheimes Patent für ein ähnliches Gerät erhalten. Ein weiteres ähnliches System hatten 1910 auch schon Keith Elphinstone und Harry Egerton Wimperis entwickelt.) Für ein Jahr war er Adjunct Naval Attaché an der russischen Botschaft in Paris.

Im Juni 1918 emigrierte er in die USA, wo er in den ersten vier Jahren bei General Electric Assistent von Charles P. Steinmetz war.

Seinen Veröffentlichungen von 1922 und 1930 zufolge beschäftigte er sich mit automatischer Steuerung von Schiffen. Erste Versuche zu Servo-gesteuerten Rudern wurden bereits 1864 unternommen. Eines der Probleme war, die Position der Kompassnadel zu messen, ohne deren Genauigkeit zu stören. Seine frühe Arbeit beeinflusste Harold Locke Hazen (1901–1980), der 1934 über seinen Servo-Mechanismus berichtete. (Davon erfuhren wiederum Vannevar Bush und Norbert Wiener.) 1922 bis 1923 untersuchte er im Auftrag des Bureau of Construction and Repair der US-Navy auf der USS New Mexico seine Schiffssteuerung mit PID-Regelung und stellte eine mathematische Analyse auf. Die erhöhte Reichweite der Schiffskanonen hatte eine akkurate Steuerung erforderlich gemacht. Obgleich der Versuche erfolgreich verlief, musste er seine Steuerung wieder abbauen, da sie der Mannschaft missfiel. 1930 verkaufte er sein Patent an die Bendix Corporation, die im Vorjahr in die Aeronautik eingestiegen war. Das System von Elmer Ambrose Sperry analysierte er und berichtete darüber 1937 im The Engineer.

1924 bis 1934 war er Professor für Elektronik und Angewandte Physik an der University of Pennsylvania. Danach ging er ans United States Naval Research Laboratory und arbeitete am David Taylor Model Basin an der Stabilisierung von Schiffen gegen Rollen.

Während des Krieges war er Berater seines Direktors und begann sich für nichtlineare Probleme zu interessieren. Ab 1946 arbeitete er an der Fakultät für Maschinenbau der Stanford University. Nach seiner Pensionierung im Jahr 1950 lebte er in Süd-Frankreich am Fuß der Pyrenäen.

The use IoT technology will help save Beluga whales in Alaska. Zaragoza-based company Libelium will take part in the testbed area with a solution developed for the Government of Alaska together with Aridea Solutions is to monitor air and water quality after a gas leak at the Cook Inlet, home of the endangered Beluga Whale, through a sensorized buoy platform. The wireless sensor system allows monitorization of pollution levels in air and water near the leak affecting the Beluga whales and other aquatic mammals. This an example of how IoT can help the conservation of marine habitat and protected species with IoT technology is helping to reduce pole warming and consequent climate change.
The smart door testbed developed by Marantec and Guh will showcase a system capable of logically responding to different situations once deployed. Doors are capable of ventilating the property if suggested by temperature and humidity sensors, combining its action with lighting control systems already in place, notifying the service technician of the exact type of error experienced, integrating a post-delivery service to transform a garage into a letterbox or even installing cheap consumer charging stations into private garages and making the private garage/charging point available for the public, too.
Danish footwear brand ECCO partners with Dassault Systèmes, the 3Dexperience Company leading the path towards sustainable innovations, will launch a data-driven experience where individual biomechanical data is combined with additive manufacturing to create customized shoes in the store. Through wearable sensors and in only 30 seconds, 3D scanners determine the individual orthotic fit and create a custom midsole, which is the functional heart of the shoe. Within a few hours, the customized midsoles will be materialized for selected shoes. This 3D print footwear project is disrupting the consumer goods industry, pushing the boundaries of product customization and the consumer experience.
The third testbed will showcase a smart fire truck developed by Emergency One together with Vodafone, equipped with a set of solutions that allow the automation of a series of tasks in the control panel. While RFID tags, sensors & hardware ensure all the vital equipment is on board, water sensors measure tank capacity and how much water was used in an incident. The vehicle can also report when the blue lights and sirens are on, ensuring that the teams are covered from an insurance perspective. When required, the data collected from all the sensor points on the vehicles means a post event report can be created centrally showing who was on board, how long an incident was attended for and other data required.
Improving worker safety is the main goal of the testbed presented by Wipro, Guardhat, Hewlett Packard Enterprise and Aruba Networks that uses industrial IoT technologies to improve worker safety while facilitating safety compliance and enabling safe work operations. The testbed solution accomplishes this by employing smart wearables such as connected hardhats and infrastructure, cognitive learning abilities, and 24×7 connectivity with operations command centers and emergency response teams.
The steel industry will be on the spotlight in one of the selected testbeds. Celsa Group, together with IThinkUPC and Nexiona have developed a data-driven Steel 4.0 IIoT deployment for Intelligent Monitoring of Meltshop & Rolling Mill processes by means of multivariate analysis and modelling applying AI techniques to automatically and continuously diagnose and predict the outcome of industrial processes and automatically prescript recommendations to improve production and avoid unwanted effects to plant engineers and supervisors.
The Chelpipe Group and Zyfra will showcase an innovative digital advisor for pipe-rolling production that ensures the quality of the product. The Digital Advisor is a recommendations system for industrial enterprises that harnesses the power of AI and Big Data and presents to the operators a specific guide to achieve the target parameters (energy efficiency, quality, productivity) of every work. Moreover, the implementation of the Advisor is possible without capital costs, and its effectiveness becomes evident one month after the introduction due to high reliability and simplicity.
Hirotec together with PTC, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, OSIsoft and National Instruments will show attendees a fully functional assembly line to showcase the factory of the future equipped with a combination of IoT technologies working together. The testbed includes a robot, pneumatics and conveyor systems, vision control system and a number of secondary sensors which provide real-time readings of critical parameters.
Orion innovation will exhibit a disruptive indoor positioning solution capable of provide highly precise 3D localization. While current solutions cannot provide accuracy under 1m due to their poor reliability, limited resolution, and large form factors, this new 3D wireless localization system uses radio signals of moderate 20MHz baseband bandwidth transmitted from each asset tag which are received by a set of stationary hubs with known positions.
Complex industrial IoT deployments combining sensors and cloud-based platforms are now almost as easy to set up as plug-and-play devices. Today it takes 20-40 minutes per IoT device to provision an IoT Device Management System in the Cloud and most require pre-configuration loading by original manufacturers or require a skilled security installer to manually configure it on-site. Mocana, together with Intel and ARM, have developed a system capable of setting up equipment and sensors and have them transmitting relevant data to any cloud-based platform within seconds after power-on.
Testbeds are experimental platforms designed to implement innovative solutions and test them in real-life operating conditions. These tests explore new technologies or combinations of existing ones with the aim of creating ground-breaking products or techniques with the potential to generate new international standards. The practical applications on show at the IoT Solutions World Congress (IoTSWC) will be coordinated and supervised by the Industrial Internet Consortium (IIC).
IoTSWC is the leading event on the industrial internet and the digital transformation of business sectors, combining a congress, a commercial exhibition and test benches. Its next edition expects to gather together 300 exhibitors and 250 speakers from around the world. This year's show is set to showcase the growth of the IoT and its widescale implementation across a range of industrial and business applications and will also demonstrate the convergence of this technology with artificial intelligence and blockchain. More than 13,000 professionals from 114 countries visited the IoTSWC 2017.
IOTSWC is a part of the Barcelona Industry Week, a platform organized by Fira de Barcelona to promote the so-called Industry 4.0 and its application in all sectors. In 2018 it comprises three events, Healthio, In(3D)ustry From Needs to Solutions and IoT Solutions World Congress (IoTSWC).

New West Side Story film by Steven Spielberg to open next week in LA.
November 29, 2021 by Blogfinger
Here is a link to our article about the new film from last spring. It contains a song from the original show.
Steven Spielberg will soon premier his new film version of West Side Story.
By Paul Goldfinger, Blogfinger.net editor:
The death of Stephen Sondheim last week marks the end of a musical era, but not exactly.
Sondheim wrote the lyrics to the Leonard Bernstein show West Side Story. The reviewers from that time barely mentioned Sondheim, but, of course, he went on to write a series of amazing and unforgettable Broadway musicals.
The Broadway show of WEst Side Story opened in 1957, and the first movie was in 1961.
On December 10, the much awaited movie re-do of West Side Story, directed by Steven Spielberg, will open, and the film is said to be "spectacularly wonderful"*
Here is the official trailer for the new film which updates some of the themes of the original, but the music has been left virtually untouched except for technical work: the NY Philharmonic recorded most of the music, but because of COVID, some was done with the LA Philharmonic.
Shooting was done in New York City and in Paterson, N.J. where a special set was built.
Release of the film was delayed because of COVID, but the premier opening will be in LA on December 10, 2021. The album will also be released that day, and Blogfinger will post at least one of those songs.
* Michael Riedel, movie critic who saw the new release.

Last night on 60 minutes was a marvelous interview with Rita Moreno, who is almost 90. She was in the original movie, and she plays an older woman in this version. What an inspiration.
