After a few good months of deals for Canadians the with Air France KLM's Promo Awards we see a slow down for the upcoming busy summer travel season. These award ticket deals are bookable as of tomorrow (April 1) and are good for award travel for June and July of 2015. The offer this time is only for 25% off Business Class on KLM's new route out of Edmonton to anywhere in Europe! This is an OK deal for those in Alberta however keep an eye out on schedules as the Edmonton flight was already postponed from May 8th to the 19th due to labour relation issues and it could be pushed back further. Don't fret however, if you do redeem KLM has to get you to Europe in Business Class so if the schedule does change they will more than likely throw you onto WestJet to Calgary or Vancouver to hop on the KLM flights out of those cities.
Don't have the miles? You could always consider transferring Starpoints earned via the Starwood Preferred Guest Credit Card from American Express to Flying Blue. The card has a 20,000 Starpoint bonus right now which translates to 25,000 Flying Blue miles, which gets you close to at least one way in biz class between Edmonton and Europe!
What are the promo awards? The promo awards are a discount of 25-50% off the regular Flying Blue mileage requirement for select Air France, KLM, Air Europa and Kenya Airways award tickets in select cabins. To take advantage of this deal you must book your promo award ticket between Apr 1 and 40 for travel between June 1st and July 31st, 2015. More details can be found here.


Digital Media production is a broad term, but it's one you should know. The phrase encompasses everything from developing animated commercials to building video games, and the industry that's cropped up around those skills is booming.
To ensure Albuquerque and New Mexico are producing high-quality digital media candidates, CNM Ingenuity is offering a 12-week Deep Dive Coding Digital Media Bootcamp. The intensive course, which runs all-day Monday-through-Friday, will be taught by Dr. Rod Sanchez, who has worked with some of the country's most important companies including Intel and DreamWorks.
Coursework will blend design, storytelling, and technology, and help students not only learn the necessary digital media skills, but also help them develop a portfolio they can use to apply for jobs with the help of CNM Ingenuity's Talent Manager. A background in coding is helpful, but not necessary.
What can you do after successfully completing the Digital Media Bootcamp?
Those students interested in advertising can use their digital media skills and portfolio to apply for jobs at firms like AdWallet, which creates custom animated commercials.
Those who love video games can apply at game companies. Or, they might apply to the federal government, which is using video games and virtual reality to train security forces and first-responders.
Students interested in entertainment can use their skills to apply to movie studios.
Health-care organizations are now using digital media and virtual reality to create training videos.
Architecture firms are using digital media to explain their projects, and the list goes on.
The bootcamp starts August 6 and the deadline to apply is July 6. Those wanting to reserve a spot will need to submit a deposit, but financial assistance is available for those who qualify. To learn more, click here.

All of these may seem good and important, but they can never get you into heaven!
Jesus talked about heaven: "In My Father's house are many mansions … I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes the the Father except through Me" (John 14:2,6). "Unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God" (John 3:3).
Jesus said that He is the only way to God, and new birth is the only way to heaven. What did He mean?
"As many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name: who were born … of God" (John 1:12,13).
Confess your sins to God.
Believe that Jesus died for your sins.
Accept Jesus as your Savior from sins.
Then you will be on your way to heaven!

Q: While running crontab- Error- Java is not accessible(fatal) I want to run few scripts at specific time everyday. I configured it in crontab, and while I run it I see the error "Java is not accessible(fatal problem)". While running the same scripts individually, I don't see any errors.

A: Obviously it's the environment available to the job started by cron - you need to add java to the path. Easiest  thing to do is just dump the environment in a cron job and see what is there (and it's not much).

Over a week has passed since my wife and I put our first batch of homebrew, Young At Heart Stout, into the hall closet for its fermentation. Within 24 hours, the airlock was merrily bubbling away every five seconds or so. After six days, the bubbles had slowed to a frequency of around 45 seconds. Now, instead of doing what I was supposed to and taking gravity reading each day to see when fermentation bottoms out, I just waited three more days and prepared for bottling. Mistake.
To get ready to bottle, the first step was the same as phase one: sanitation. Using our handy bottle washer, we rinsed out all of our bottles. I didn't end up drinking as much New Belgium beer as I had planned to, so we supplemented the 48 NB bottles we had with eight big 16 oz. Grolsch pop-top bottles my dad gave me for homebrewing a while back. After rinsing out all of the bottles, we submerged them in the sink (12 or so at a time) with hot water and a splash of bleach. Once the bottles had soaked for around five minutes, we thoroughly rinsed them with the bottle washer again. With all that rinsing, our showers that night, regrettably, were somewhat cold.
Our next step was to sanitize (once again, with a bleach and water mix) everything else that was going to touch the beer: the carboy, the spoon, the tubing, the wand, the racking cane, the sampler, the hydrometer and the thermometer probe. To sanitize the bottle caps, we simply boiled them for around five minutes.
Looking back, we shouldn't have used bleach to sanitize at all, and if we were going to use bleach we should have precisely measured it. Unbeknownst to us, the chlorine in bleach, if not rinsed completely off of equipment, can make the beer taste like band-aids. When siphoning later, I could taste that the beer coming from the tubing was substantially off. I could taste a solid malt background behind the off taste, but it certainly didn't taste like beer.
Once everything had been sanitized and rinsed off thoroughly (or so we thought at least), we boiled the corn sugar in one pint of water for five minutes. After the five minutes was up, we opened the fermentation bucket, took quick hydrometer and temperature readings (1.021 at 61°F) and, without thinking, dumped the corn sugar in. After a minute or so, it dawned on us that we had been expecting the final gravity to drop much more. The starting gravity was 1.043 and, based on what we had read, we were hoping for it to drop about 30 points to around 1.013 or so.
At this point, we started to worry that the fermentation was incomplete or that something else was very wrong. We don't know what happened. Maybe it wasn't done fermenting. As we didn't take consecutive gravity readings, we'll never know now. Maybe the temperature was too cold for the yeast. The packet said 59°F to 75°F and we were probably in that zone, but definitely on the low side. Maybe we stirred the yeast too vigorously. Maybe we didn't add enough malt or sugar. Maybe we added too much water. Maybe the wort got infected somehow. Maybe we didn't boil the mash long enough. Or maybe our hydrometer readings were inaccurate. It is a mystery.
Anyway, the priming sugar was already in the wort, so we decided it was do-or-die. We put the fermenter on the kitchen counter, put the clean carboy on the floor beneath the fermenter, and inserted the racking cane with tubing attached. After washing my mouth with some fine whiskey (my local homebrew shop recommended this step), I started the siphon and let the beer flow into the carboy. We left the last inch or so in the bucket, to keep as much of the sludge out of the carboy as possible. Once the siphoning was complete, we stirred the mix gently to distribute all of the priming sugar evenly and moved the carboy to the counter for bottling.
After getting all of our bottles in position we inserted the tubing attached to the bottling wand and started another siphon, noticing that (unexpectedly) there seemed to be some level of carbonation already in the beer. Using the wand, we filled twelve bottles at a time to about one inch from the top giving plenty of room, fearing to much pressure due to the weird gravity reading. Once filled, we capped and boxed the bottles. We're not really all that happy with our capper, as I managed to break the top off of two bottles. While that's not a big percentage, it still seems like enough of a waste to invest in a better capper.
With many hours of work behind us, we put the now boxed bottles back in the closet and crossed our fingers. We still have (at least some) hope, so we're going to just walk away for the next two or three weeks and let the bottles condition. Maybe we'll experience a Christmas miracle and Young At Heart will be brilliant. The operating rule in the world of homebrewing is that you always see the process through and only ever throw a batch away if you're sure it's infected. While it's quite possible that it's infected, we have no reason to believe so, so we're seeing this thing all the way through. After all, we certainly didn't expect great beer our first time. This was supposed to be a learning experience, and it certainly turned out to be one (although a somewhat expensive one).
And now, once again, we wait... but this time also hope not to be awoken to shattering bottles, Homer "Beer-Baron" Simpson style.
Chris, I love it! I can't wait to try some of your beer. So informative.
Great post and great blog. I'm thinking of trying to brew my own beer as well. This post will be pretty helpful.
16 glass carboys? How dirty are they?

Three wins in a row for Hampshire despite below-par batting display
Hampshire continued to build momentum in their Vitality T20 Blast campaign with a 41-run victory against winless Glamorgan in front of another large crowd at the Ageas Bowlon Friday night.
By Mark McMahon
Saturday, 3rd August 2019, 9:24 am
Updated Saturday, 3rd August 2019, 9:30 am
It was a third successive win in the competition for James Vince's side.
A below-par batting display meant Hampshire only posted a modest total of 128 for seven.
It still proved more than enough against the struggling visitors who were bowled out for 87 in 15.3 overs.
After winning the toss and electing to bat, Hampshire were a disappointing 32 for two at the end of the six-over power play.
Both dismissals were poor from the hosts' point of view.
Aneurin Donald, playing against his former team-mates, holed out to the square leg boundary in the third over.
In the next over Rilee Roussouw crashed Marchant de Lange to the boundary, but very next ball was clean bowled trying an extravagant drive.
With Hampshire finding boundaries hard to come by, Sam Northeast fell to a neat bit of stumping to leave Hampshire struggling on 47 for three.
Vince (25) looked in imperious form by finding the boundary with some of his trademark cover drives. He, too, however, was guilty of a poor shot when he lofted an easy catch to De Lange at long on.
Wickets continued to fall on a regular basis and it took a late flourish from Lewis McManus, hitting 23 off 13 balls, to get Hampshire up to 128 for seven off their 20 overs.
Hampshire knew they needed early wickets if they were to defend their target and opening bowler Chris Wood was quick to oblige.
With the third ball of the innings he had Fakhar Zaman caught by Liam Dawson in the slips.
The next blow came in the fifth over when Kyle Abbot had danger man Colin Ingram caught by Dawson with Glamorgan on 29 for two.
Two wickets in successive overs by Liam Dawson (three for 11) and another couple from fellow spinner Mason Crane, who ended with three for 22, shattered the already fragile confidence of the Welsh side. Chris Morris (two for 21) also weighed in with two wickets as the visitors' innings disintegrated.

Supporting you with high quality content writing and fresh ideas for your publications.
Dog play dates are the most rewarding experiences you might have with your dog. When your dog interacts with you and other breeds, he engages in communication and socialization.
As you offer more opportunities for your dog to socialize, you will probably have a happier furry friend. While finding a playdate may seem challenging, consider planning, scheduling, and careful organization when you arrange your next dog play date.
Team building activities for blended families occur less frequently since technology is more common in households. While technology opens up to discoveries for teens and young children, families gather less. On top of homework and extra-curricular activities, families don't even eat together at dinner time.
So what can you do to build up teamwork between family members? Team building is an important skill to develop mainly for blended families. As more families congregate with different backgrounds and traditions, team building will become part of daily lives.
Family game night is a fantastic way to get everyone together. Although you can make it a tradition, you might also want to consider a few tips to make your game night smoother.
Many times, it doesn't require much preparation and planning. Indeed, your family can implement these options for your next game night.
Who doesn't need a coffee ☕ break? Me. You. Everyone. Of course, you can pick any beverage you'd like. But when the week is a little sluggish 🐌, you need a refreshment to pick you up. I personally love coffee like this sunny ☀ cup to remind me of warm days to come. How about you?
Puppies 🐕 learn how to socialize just as much as young children. With just a matter of implementing a few ideas, you can have a dog that will adore playdates 💖. Check out the tips for doggie playdates in the latest blog post. Use ➡ the link in the bio; then, select Blog from the site.
Is being creative 🎨 a matter of aesthetic or purpose? As Pearce suggests, you have to take chances when you create things that you audience will love 💖 or not 💔. Where do you find inspiration for your pieces of writing or art 🖼 work?
How much do you rely on a writing plan to create content? If you haven't started making that content calendar, you might want to consider starting one 🗓. One content plan doesn't fit everyone. Take the time ⏳ to look at your priority topics and build up from there. While it may take some time to gather what you need, it will be worthwhile to have an organized plan. What's your favorite 📆 planner organizer: Google Docs, Word, or do you prefer paper planner? Or do you have a favorite app 📲 for your personal device?
I'm always amazed how nature can surprise you sometimes. We were admiring how these ducks 🦆 can 'ice skate' on the pond during a fun family afternoon time. Nature ❄ does teach you a lesson worth thinking, do you think 🤓?

If you are associated with a business that witness long queues each and every new day than this article is meant for you. You might be thinking that the queue management system at your place is up to the mark as it is clearly fulfilling its main objective, but do you know there are other reasons that may fall it short on perfectionism when assessed on those criteria.
1. Is it making the task fast and the staff happy?
The right queue management system will make the service delivery fast and the staff free from managing those crowded lines. Manually making them stand right in the queue is a difficult task for the staff and hence the Queue Control, if done with the help of proper equipment can certainly make the things go easy and convenient for both staff and the customers.
2. Are you customers happy and satisfied with the process?
Generally, no one likes to feel controlled and managed by someone else. And if you are trying to manage the customers in a queue, you have to make sure that they are satisfied with the process that has been opted for that purpose. Keeping them engaged in a comfortable queue is one of the best ways to make your customers happy and satisfied.
3. Is it directing the customers to the right path?
The Queue Management Equipment must be placed in a way that it should direct the customers toward their destination without any manual help. The queue barriers and Stanchions do this task with much ease. One can also install the signboards for the giving instructions to the visitors.
4. Is it contributing to the profit graphs of your business?
The customers, when served fast and efficiently, will definitely increase the profit percentage in the sales and services of your business. So, just ensure it is leaving the positive impact on your customers for improved profits.
5. Are the waiting times reduced with this system?
It has been seen that the unorganized service queue takes more time to respond as compared to the FIRST-COME-FIRST-SERVE model or any other technique witnessing the order in response. So, make sure the waiting time is reduced with your adopted queue management system.

Wisconsin National Guard holds UH-60 Black Hawk training
By Army Program Executive Office for Aviation and the Fort McCoy Public Affairs Office July 11, 2019
FORT MCCOY, Wis. -- Aircrew with the Wisconsin National Guard at Madison operated several UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters June 19 at Fort McCoy, Wis., as part of annual training at the post.
Members of the unit regularly complete training operations at Fort McCoy and the unit also supports numerous training events at the installation each year.
According to the Army fact sheet for the Black Hawk, its mission is to provide air assault, general support, aeromedical evacuation, command and control, and special operations support to combat, stability, and support operations.
The UH-60 also is the Army's utility tactical transport helicopter. The versatile helicopter has enhanced the overall mobility of the Army due to dramatic improvements in troop capacity and cargo lift capability over the years as well.
Now in its fourth decade of service, the Black Hawk was developed as a result of the Army's requirement in 1972 for a simple, robust, and reliable utility helicopter system to satisfy projected air-mobile requirements around the globe.
Named after Native American war chief and leader of the Sauk tribe in the Midwest, Black Hawk, the first UH-60A was accepted by the Army in 1978, and entered service in 1979 when it was delivered to aviation components of the 101st and 82nd Airborne Divisions.
Since that time, the Black Hawk has accumulated more than 9 million total fleet hours and has supported Soldiers in every major contingency operation the Army has executed, including Grenada, Panama, Iraq, Somalia, the Balkans, Afghanistan, and throughout the Middle East.
Over the years, the helicopter has been modified and upgraded to support evolving missions and roles, including mine laying, medical evacuation, and special operations.
Today, the Army continues to integrate emerging technology enhancements into the Black Hawk fleet to increase the performance, reliability, availability, and maintainability of the platform through addition of technologies such as the integration of the improved turbine engine; upgrades to the airframe, including an improved troop seat for additional crash-worthiness; and a lightweight, composite all-moving tail.
"Developing and fielding an aircraft that has earned and maintained an extraordinary reputation of remarkable service supporting Soldiers over a full spectrum of military operations these past 40 years is the direct result of the incredible efforts of all the government and industry teammates who have supported the Black Hawk program throughout the history of the program," said Col. Billy Jackson, program manager for Program Executive Office for Aviation's Utility Helicopters Program Office. "I'm exceptionally proud of this team and the herculean effort everyone puts in managing a very complex program with such sustained success."
Today, the UH-60 Black Hawk makes up the Army's largest rotary wing fleet with more than 2,100 airframes in the current inventory. As production of the most current H-60M model continues, over the coming years the Army will divest its remaining UH-60A and L aircraft, to be replaced by 760 UH-60Vs.
With multiple versions of the H-60 Black Hawk in service, the helicopter is considered the "workhorse" of Army aviation. Besides being the U.S Army's primary tactical transport helicopter, approximately 1,200 H-60s operate in 30 partner and allied nations.
For nearly half a century the Black Hawk has served remarkably as the primary medium lift, multi-role helicopter for the U.S. Army. With planned major upgrades on the horizon, the platform will be a key component of the Army aviation fleet through 2054.
"The Utility Helicopters Program Office, in collaboration with our government and industry partners who support the Black Hawk, have worked diligently for 40 years to provide operational commanders and Soldiers the much-needed capabilities the Army's workhorse helicopter provides," Jackson said. "We will continue to adapt to meet current and future needs to ensure the Black Hawk remains relevant in the operational environment over the next 40."

This will make you a jug of juice - approx. 3 glasses. It is best drunk fresh but will keep for a day in the fridge. You can put the lemon straight into the juicer or for a less lemony taste just squeeze some in at the end.
For an even better health kick buy organic ingredients.

UN: forced return of Rohingya refugees unsafe
by Rebecca Paveley
UN High Commissioner says improved conditions are needed in Myanmar
A Rohingya refugee in Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh, Dildar Begum, who is 30, on Thursday of last week. She was raped by the Myanmar army, who then killed her husband, her two young sons, and her mother-in-law, last year. Attacks against the Muslim minority group forced more than 706,000 to flee from Myanmar to neighbouring Bangladesh
A Rohingya refugee in Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh, Dildar Begum, who is 30, on Thursday of last week. She was raped by the Myanmar army, who then killed h...
THE forced repatriation of Rohingya refugees to Myanmar was due to begin yesterday, despite warnings from the United Nations and aid agencies that the conditions for their return had not been met.
Last weekend, officials in Myanmar announced that Bangladesh had said that repatriations would begin yesterday, and that refugees were to be sent back in groups of at least 150 per day.
The principle of repatriation was agreed months ago by Bangladesh and Myanmar.
The UN High Commissioner for Refugees, Filippo Grandi, warned in a statement on Monday that any repatriation should be only on the basis of a "free and informed decision by refugees, on an individual basis".
Mr Grandi said that refugees must first be allowed to visit their homes in Rakhine state to determine whether they felt able to "return there in safety and dignity". He said, however, that he did not believe that current conditions in Rakhine would allow their safe return.
He said: "The responsibility to improve those conditions rests with Myanmar. Although UNHCR does not believe current conditions in Rakhine state are conducive to the voluntary, safe, dignified, and sustainable return of refugees from Bangladesh, we remain committed to supporting the government of Myanmar's efforts to create such conditions.
"And we remain deeply grateful to the government of Bangladesh as it continues to generously host Rohingya refugees until they can voluntarily return to Myanmar in safety and dignity."
Fears of forced repatriations among the estimated 706,000 Rohingya in the biggest refugee camp in the world, Cox's Bazar, have led to reports in the media of suicides, and some people fleeing camps so that they cannot forcibly be sent back.
Forty-two aid agencies and charities, including Oxfam, Save the Children, and World Vision, issued a statement last Friday warning that any repatriation was dangerous and premature: "Refugees have consistently told us that they want to return to their own homes and places of origin, or to places of their choice. They want guarantees that they can enjoy equal rights and citizenship. They want assurances that the extreme human-rights violations they have suffered will stop, and those responsible for the violence they fled will be brought to justice.
"They do not want to return to conditions of confinement, with no freedom of movement or access to services and livelihoods. They fear that these conditions will become permanent, like the situation in central Rakhine state, where 128,000 Rohingya and other Muslims have been confined to camps, with no freedom of movement, for over six years.
"Most of all, refugees tell us that they are afraid. They fled to Bangladesh to seek safety, and they are very grateful to the government of Bangladesh for giving them a safe haven. However, they are terrified about what will happen to them if they are returned to Myanmar now, and distressed by the lack of information they have received."
More than 700,000 Rohingya have crossed over the border from Rakhine state to Bangladesh since August 2017, fleeing a violent crackdown by the military and the Buddhist locals, during which their villages were razed to the ground, women were raped, and thousands were killed. The UN has described the violence against them as "ethnic cleansing".
The head of humanitarian programmes in Asia for the Roman Catholic aid agency CAFOD, Giovanna Reda, has just returned from Cox's Bazar, where, she said, conditions for refugees were now improving, thanks to the work of NGOs and the UN, as well as the Bangladeshi government.
Any return that was not in line with the three principles of dignity, safety, and being voluntary should not be supported by the international community, she said. "We want evidence that these basic conditions are being met. When these conditions are met, then the Rohingya, like any refugees, will want to return."

Panel: Politicizing border issue overshadows serious plight of migrants
By Kurt Jensen, Catholic News Service
WASHINGTON (CNS) -- The principal message of an April 15 Georgetown University webinar on immigrants at the U.S.-Mexico border: Don't believe everything you hear from politicians. Because more often than not, no one pays close attention to the reality of border issues, and repeat the same old talking points.
"What ends up being reported by people who don't really know what's happening (and) bring a certain bias to the discussion is far from the reality that they experience from day to day," said Bishop Mark J. Seitz of El Paso, Texas.
"I've been in El Paso eight years. To see this cycle continue, and what I've seen is that every time we get a cyclical increase in people that are seeking refuge here in this country, the politicians fall into place and you hear them saying the exact same things," the bishop said. "They could have just replayed it from 2014 or 2019."
Bishop Seitz, a critic of President Donald Trump's immigration and refugee policies, was part of an online panel, "Immigration Challenges and Choices, People, Principles and Policies," sponsored by Georgetown University's Initiative on Catholic Social Thought and Public Life.
According to an April 8 Washington Post story, U.S. Border Patrol agents took 172,331 border-crossers into custody in March. In February, the number was 100,000.
A recent NBC news report quoted Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas as saying the United States is "on pace to encounter more individuals on the Southwest border than we have in the last 20 years."
"We are expelling most single adults and families. We are not expelling unaccompanied children," he said.
In mid-March, President Joe Biden directed the Federal Emergency Management Agency to support the efforts of other federal agencies for the next three months in sheltering record numbers of children arriving at the U.S.-Mexico border without parents.
"We're seeing an increase in the number of families that are arriving," said panelist Sabrina Rodríguez, an immigration correspondent for Politico. "There is a mismatch and confusion around who gets to stay and who is sent back. Some families are being allowed to remain in the United States, some are being sent back to Mexico."
"There is chaos and confusion in the process and the way it's being administered at the moment," she continued. "But it's important to note when we're seeing these big numbers of (a total of) 172,000 migrants apprehended at the border. It's not 172,000 people that were let loose in the United States and there is no order. There is a very real system."
"Maybe it's time to stop politicizing these issues and begin Christianizing them," Bishop Seitz said. "Because it seems that many of us who consider ourselves Christians, we have pretty well set aside what our faith should be telling us about these issues as though it really doesn't apply."
"We're so focused on this border situation that we don't ask ourselves why are they leaving home," he said. "It's not because they're trying to get a nicer car. It's because they are fleeing. If only we would begin to understand this that the situation in Central America is very, very bad right now."
He added, "It has violence comparable to war zones (such as) Syria, Afghanistan, when you start talking about homicide rates and the like."
The Rev. Walter Kim, who heads the National Association of Evangelicals and is the pastor for leadership at Trinity Presbyterian Church in Charlottesville, Virginia, said migration means "I want to take seriously our identity as God's people. The Bible is a story of migration. Essentially to be a Christian is to be a migrant."
"I think we're at a pivotal moment in our country," he added, "of understanding that not only as God's people are we essentially migrant people, but this country is essentially a migrant country. Other than the Native Americans, we are migrants who have journeyed here."
"There is one thing you hear in Washington and a very different thing you hear when talking to people that are dealing with the day to day challenges," said Rodríguez.
"Nobody at the border, for the most part, is talking to you about 'well, because Biden said this or Trump said that' or the politicking about it," she explained. "It's very much 'OK, we're used to this. We know what to do. We know how to handle this and we're concerned about getting these people safe and getting them fed and clothed and to their final destination with their family.'"
And they're "wanting to move past the politics of all this," she said.
According to Rodríguez, "The reality is while the Biden administration can make certain changes and push the countries in Central America and Guatemala and El Salvador to do something, it takes Congress doing action (on immigration), which it hasn't done and repeatedly failed to do."
"I don't think there's any question that racism plays a role here," said Bishop Seitz. "One message we often give to politicians, is watch your language. ... If you are painting a situation at the border of chaos, and using words like invasion and criminals are coming across and so on, then there are certainly groups that respond to that.
"They appeal to the fear that people have. And that fear leads very often to surface racism that has been so much a part of our life in this country from its beginning," he added.


Excellent article, as always. I just added this film to my queue to see it myself. I think perhaps that with modern (that doesn't always mean younger) audiences used to CSI type science and crime sleuthing, perhaps movies with beakers and old Sherlock Homles-esque microscopes, etc. seem even more dated and perhaps... boring. But who knows. My sons love watching looney tunes, three stooges, Errol Flynn, John Wayne more than they do some more "modern" films, but my wife rolls her eyes if the film "isn't at least in color." I think it has to do with exposure and the patience and willingness on behalf of the parent etc, to explain and keep trying to find films they'll like.
Thanks again, John for a great review.
I'm impressed with Stothart's work in "The Wizard of Oz." I've associated his compositional credits with operetta adaptations where all the memorable music was by Friml or Romberg or Victor Herbert and I always assumed he was only adapting Arlen's work in that truly outstanding incidental score.
At the risk of sounding harsh, I have to say that I've never had anything but disdain, even contempt, for Herbert Stothart. To me, he's a mediocre nonentity who used his sinecure at MGM to hang his name on dozens of wonderful movies to which he contributed virtually nothing -- or at least, very little that wasn't composed by somebody else first, sometimes centuries earlier (e.g., the marching theme in Northwest Passage, cribbed from The Beggar's Opera).
The score for The Wizard of Oz is a case in point. Take out what Arlen wrote, plus Moussorgsky's "Night on Bald Mountain" and Schumann's "The Happy Farmer," and Stothart's contribution pretty much boils down to "The March of the Winkies" and Elvira Gulch on her bicycle. The fact that Stothart got the "original score" Oscar for this, over Max Steiner's truly epic work on Gone With the Wind, is a tribute to the power of studio block voting and one of the most grievous misdeeds in Academy history. For my money, Stothart wasn't fit to light Steiner's cigars, nor to be mentioned in the same breath with Victor Young, Aaron Copland or Alfred Newman -- all of whom also lost to him in 1939.
You undoubtedly know this, John, but for everyone else's information, the short called "The Romance of Radium" was directed by none other than Jacques Tourneur. It was from these shorts in the "John Nesbitt's Passing Parade" and other MGM shorts series that Tourneur's storytelling ability was recognized, enabling him to proceed to directing features, most famously his atmospheric horror films for producer Val Lewton. The Tourneur shorts, of which there are exactly 20, often show as "One Reel Wonders" filler on Turner Classic Movies.
What a great piece. The Curie flick rather bored me too, I am afraid, but Random Harvest is still a swell piece of romance, and I have an unreasoning preference for the MGM Pride and Prejudice, despite the messing with plot and period. She was zesty and fun in that one, and in Goodbye Mr. Chips as well. Pauline Kael called her "MGM's queen of stately horror" and while I don't think that is fair to her early work it does kind of summarize how she wound up. In real life she seems to have had a lively sense of humor that seldom shone through that great-lady act she was stuck with.
Director Tay Garnett told of how Garson discussed the famous tag line for Adventure (which turned out to be a turkey). First choice: "Gable's back, and Garson's got him!" Second: "Gable puts the arson in Garson." Garson didn't like either one. "They're ungallant," she said. "Why not, 'Garson puts the able in Gable'"?

Civil War | Biography
Thomas Lafayette Rosser
TitleMajor General
War & AffiliationCivil War / Confederate
Date of Birth - DeathOctober 15, 1836 - March 29, 1910
Thomas Lafayette Rosser was born October 15, 1836 on his family's farm in Campbell County, Virginia. When he was 13 they moved to the new state of Texas, onto a 640-acre farm on the Sabine River. In 1856 he left to attend the United States Military Academy at West Point. Rosser's roommate was George Armstrong Custer, an Ohioan who called Rosser 'Tex.' Rosser called Custer 'Fanny.' When Texas seceded from the Union in early 1861, Rosser quit West Point – just two weeks before he was scheduled to graduate – in order to offer his services to his home state. He traveled to Montgomery, Alabama to enlist and was commissioned as a 1st lieutenant in the Confederate service.
Fresh out of military school, Rosser was made instructor of the Washington Artillery of New Orleans, and commanded a company at the First Battle of Bull Run. After being wounded at Mechanicsville during the Seven Days campaign, he was made colonel of the 5th Virginia Cavalry, taking part in the Second Battle of Bull Run, South Mountain and Antietam before being wounded again at Kelly's Ford. He resumed command in time to fight at Gettysburg, after which he was promoted again: this time to brigadier general, in command of the 'Laurel Brigade.' Rosser distinguished himself further during the Overland campaign – where he was wounded yet again, at Trevilian Station – and was sent to the Shenandoah Valley to check Union Gen. Philip Sheridan's cavalry. He was initially hailed as the 'Savior of the Valley,' but suffered defeats at Cedar Creek and Tom's Brook, when he faced his old roommate George Custer across the field of battle.
He continued to lead lightning cavalry raids into western Virginia, and rejoined the Army of Northern Virginia near Petersburg in the spring of 1865. He served gallantly to the end, fighting at Five Forks and refusing to surrender at Appomattox, until he was captured on May 4. He was paroled in short order.
After the war, Rosser achieved success as the chief engineer of the Northern Pacific and Canadian Pacific railroad companies, and settled near Charlottesville, Virginia. In 1898, President McKinley, a Union veteran, appointed Rosser to train cavalry recruits for the Spanish-American War, which he did on the Chickamauga Battlefield in Georgia. He died on March 29, 1910 in Charlottesville and is buried in Riverview Cemetery.

Монерон е остров в Татарския проток, разположен на около 45 километра западно от югозападния ъгъл на остров Сахалин. Влиза в състава на Сахалинска област, Русия.

Площта му е около 30 km², дължината в посока север-юг – 7,15 km, а ширината – 4 km. Бреговата му ивица е с дължина 24 km. Източните и западните му брегове са стръмни и скалисти (до 200 m). Островът е с вулканичен произход. В непосредствена близост са разположени малки скалисти островчета – Пирамидални, Красние, Восточние и др.

Днес на острова няма постоянно население. В миналото той е обитаван от айну. През 11 век е наречен Тотомошири. Това име е дадено от даймио на Мацума и е наричан така няколко века. По време на експедицията на Лаперуз островът е наречен Монерон в чест на инженера на експедицията. По време на Втората световна война е завладян от японците и е наречен Кайбато. Това обаче продължава кратко и след края на войната отново е наречен Монерон.

Климатът е мусонен, като голямо влияние върху него оказва топлото Цушимско течение. Най-големите водни източници тук са реките Усова (дълга 2,5 km) и река Монерон (дълга 1,5 km). По протежението им има и водопади.

Около 20 % от площта на острова е заета от гори, предимно от брезови дръвчета. Има гнездови колонии на морски птици, които са разположени на островчетата и скалите в близост до Монерон. Така птиците са защитени от набезите на лисици и самури. Отделни части от бреговете са населени от тюлени. Топлото течение обуславя наличието на субтропически видове безгръбначни животни обитаващи водите. Тук е обособен първият морски природен парк в Русия. През 2008 г. е основан туристически комплекс.

Completion of regional sewer project
County Celebrates Completion of Regional Sewer Project
Placer County celebrated an important milestone Friday in its efforts to develop a modern regional sewer system that complies with new, more stringent federal and state standards; reduces impacts on foothill steams; and capitalizes on economies of scale.
About 50 people were on hand for a formal ribbon-cutting ceremony at 4928 Auburn Folsom Road in the Horseshoe Bar area near Loomis – a site where, until recently, an aging wastewater treatment plant served the county's Sewer Maintenance District 3 as it had for 52 years.
Placer County Supervisor Jim Holmes addressed the gathering, thanking staff for its outstanding work on the project and recognizing state and federal agencies for their support and participation.
"Many improvements and upgrades have been performed at the plant over the years, in order to comply with the increasingly stringent wastewater treatment standards," he said. "Continuing to upgrade the plant would have required a major expansion which was neither feasible nor frugal, due to both site constraints and a potentially significant rate increase to our customers."
The treatment plant was decommissioned recently after construction was completed on a new pump station and 2 ½ miles of new sewer pipeline that allow wastewater from the district's approximately 1,500 residents to be treated at the City of Roseville's Dry Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant.
Completed on time and under its $14.5 million budget in December 2014, with the help of a $4 million reimbursement from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and a $9.7 million loan from the State Water Resources Control Board's Clean Water State Revolving Fund, the newly constructed pipeline has brought the county into compliance with permit requirements from the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board with no increase to sewer rates.
On hand for Friday's ceremony were representatives from agencies that worked with Placer County on the project: USACE, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, State Water Resources Control Board, Regional Water Quality Control Board and City of Roseville.
"The Army Corps of Engineers are the nation's environmental engineers - taking care of the environment is a big part of everything we do," said Tambour Eller, the Corps' Sacramento District deputy district engineer for project management. "This project is a great example of how different levels of government can work together to make the most efficient use of our resources and get things done that matter to all of us."
"U.S. EPA's financial support to the state revolving fund helps address critical infrastructure needs, protect our waters and save communities money," said Mike Montgomery, Assistant Water Division Director of EPA's Pacific Southwest region.
The project's benefits include:
Allowing the county to close the old wastewater treatment plant;
Eliminating discharges of treated wastewater into nearby Miners Ravine, which will return to its natural state;
Bringing the district into compliance with new, more stringent state and federal wastewater discharge requirements; and
Providing the county and ratepayers with a cost-effective way to maintain compliance if discharge requirements become more stringent in the future.
The Horseshoe Bar project is one of several the county has undertaken to comply with federal and state wastewater quality regulations, reduce water-quality impacts on foothill steams and capitalize on economies of scale.
The largest, the Midwestern Placer Regional Sewer Project, currently is under construction and is scheduled to be operational this summer. It will allow wastewater from North Auburn to be pumped through an underground pipeline for treatment at the City of Lincoln Wastewater Treatment and Reclamation Facility.

Capuano makes case to stay in rotation
by Brian Joura • June 13, 2011 • 4 Comments
The Mets have received strong pitching performances recently. With four of the five starting pitchers you can point to a definite start where they turned things around. For the fifth pitcher, we'll just pick the start that fits best. Here are their before and after numbers:
R.A. Dickey 1-5, 5.08 2-2, 2.23
Jonathon Niese 2-4, 5.03 3-1, 1.34
Mike Pelfrey 1-3, 7.39 2-1, 4.11
Chris Capuano 1-1, 8.76 4-5, 3.52
Dillon Gee 2-0, 4.72 5-0, 2.59
There's no real cutoff point for Pelfrey. His before numbers are his first six starts and his after numbers are his final seven. But included in those final seven are two starts where he gave up 12 ER in 11 IP. Still, his ERA in those seven, including the two bombs, is three full runs below his stinker to open the season.
The overall National League ERA this year is 3.76, down from 4.02 a year ago. Of course, we are now entering the summer months and we should expect the numbers to go up from here to the end of the season. Still, it's a good number to use right now to judge how the Mets' pitchers are doing.
Four of the five pitchers are below average and three of them – Dickey, Niese and Gee – significantly. Combine this strong pitching with the Mets offense seemingly delivering 10 or more hits on a nightly basis and it's easy to understand how the team has gone 9-5 in its last 14 games, including 6-2 in its last eight.
At some point Johan Santana will come back and the question will be: How should the Mets handle their rotation? Of course, this is still a month away and plenty can change between now and then. But assuming that the Mets pitchers continue more or less on their recent path, what should the team do?
The most likely scenario is that Capuano moves to the bullpen. He has experience relieving and would give the team another lefty out of the bullpen. Also, Capuano has generally struggled his third time through the opposing team's lineup. Finally, the Mets might prefer not to have three lefties in the rotation.
But is Capuano really better suited for the pen than Pelfrey? Even with Capuano's much-discussed trouble the third time through the order, they have virtually the same number of innings pitched over their last 10 starts, with Pelfrey holding a 62.1 to 61.0 edge. However, Capuano has delivered much better quality in that span, with a 3.54 ERA compared to a 4.33 mark for Pelfrey.
Despite Pelfrey's attempts to diversify his repertoire, he is still more of a one-pitch guy than Capuano. According to FanGraphs, Pelfrey throws his fastball 65.3 percent of the time and his other four pitches make up the remaining 34.7 percent. Meanwhile, Capuano throws his fastball 58.4 percent of the time while he uses changeup 26.6 and slider 15.0 percent of the time.
Subjectively, Pelfrey feels like a reliever, the type of guy who could add 2-3 miles per hour to his fastball if he didn't have to pace himself. And with Capuano coming off all of the arm troubles he's had in the past few years, is it really in his best interest to be pitching multiple times each week? Pelfrey could be in the mix for 7th inning or later duties. Could you really imagine Capuano coming on with the bases loaded and a one-run lead?
Of course, the Mets could go in another direction and look to protect Santana and Capuano by going to a six-man rotation down the stretch. It's unorthodox but it might be the right thing in this situation. Nobody right now is screaming to be moved out of the rotation and this move babies the pitchers who have had recent arm troubles.
This will be another test for manager Terry Collins, as much as how he handles the lineup once the injured corner infielders return. Generally, Collins has done a good job keeping the Mets afloat under difficult circumstances through the first 65 games of the season. Will he have the necessary creativity and fortitude to make the right calls for the final 65?

If things don't change, and Santana is healthy this year, then Pelfry to the bullpen. TC said they wouldn't pitch Johan until he is ready to go deep into games ( a change from previous administrations when they pitched Pedro in Sept). I see the Mets moving either Capuano, Pelry or Dickey along with Beltran or Murphy to upgrade to a younger #1 or #2 pitcher if one becomes available. It would be a way of building for the present and the future at the same time. PS I really enjoy the analysis done on this blog. Thanks
Hey Metsense – we really appreciate you reading and leaving comments! If there's anything you want to talk about just drop us a line.
Joura, good analysis as usual buddy (from your friends over at Fonzie Forever).
I think it'll depend on the Mets' objectives when they decide to make the move. Obviously, the Mets have more tied up in Pelfrey's future than Capuano's. Moving Pelfrey to the pen at this stage in his career is going to hurt his trade value and perhaps end his career as a starter. Would it be worth it if the Mets were in contention in August of this year? Maybe.
But if the Mets are on the outside looking in, you'd have to think that there is no way Pelfrey gets bumped.
I think that's an accurate read of the situation. It's tough to actually move Pelfrey because the guy won 15 games last year and has proved to be very durable. Those are things we shouldn't forget or dismiss easily. I just think Capuano is an asset in the rotation. It won't be an easy decision to go to a 6-man rotation, but it may be the best thing for the 2011 Mets. Of course we're still at least a month from having to make this decision.
