Although popularly known as the Sherborne Cartulary, this manuscripts contains much more than just copies of charters relating to Sherborne. Of about 90 leaves, the last 50 or so contain mainly liturgical and biblical texts such as the accounts of the Passion from each of the Four Gospels, and Gospel readings and prayers to be said on major Church feast-days. The contents of the cartulary section, however, leave no doubt that the manuscript was written for Sherborne Abbey, in Dorset. Following the end of St. Matthew's account of Christ's Passion, and before the start of St. Mark's account, is a half-page space which has been filled with a miniature of Mark, seated on a folding stool. He hold a blank scroll, which was probably intended to have an inscription.

TAL HELLER HAS GRADUATED!
Lochlan Brown and Tal Heller
It's been a year and a half since we heard mezzo-soprano Tal Haller sing at the Classic Lyric Arts gala. My how her talent has grown under the tutelage of Arthur Levy! The only flaw we could find in her splendid graduation recital at the National Opera Center was the brevity. Not that we were disappointed; although she gave an excellent sampler of her skills, we could have happily listened to her for another hour.
Ms. Heller has a pleasingly bright instrument that has a lovely soprano-y sound in the upper register. The vibrato is just about right and the overtones are most agreeable. She scored well in the expressive department and we found ourselves pulled into the songs.
Mozart's concert aria "Vado, Ma Dove?" opened the program in true Italianate style. But it was the set of Reynaldo Hahn songs that impressed us with their excellent French. Ms. Taller's sojourn with CLA in France served her well. "L'Heure Exquise" was quite romantic and the large upward skips were perfectly negotiated.
From Hector Berlioz's Les Nuits D'Été, we heard a lovely performance of "Sur Les Lagunes", a sorrowful chanson with some very low notes. Ms. Taller performed it with great commitment to the text.
We love Brahms' settings of German folk songs and "Von Ewiger Liebe" is one of our favorites. It requires the singer to color differentially the voices of the young man concerned about the reputation of his sweetheart and the sweetheart's firmness in her unshakeable love. This Ms. Taller accomplished most effectively.
The second half of the program comprised two Tosti songs. "Ridonami La Calma" was sung with prayerful feelings and successful dynamic variety.
We also heard a pair of Mahler songs with which we were strangely unfamiliar. We could not fathom what the text had to do with Don Juan but "Serenade" and "Phantasie" were well done and gave the artist another opportunity to hit those very low notes.
We noticed one little thing about Ms. Taller's German that could be improved. Often the final "ich" was glossed over as if she were afraid to "do it wrong". That being said, she had no problem with words like "nicht" and "nacht". It would be a simple matter to borrow the "ch" from those words.
Closing the program were two songs by Ricky Ian Gordon, a contemporary American composer. The most important facet was the excellent English diction that made the words completely comprehensible. And the words to "My Mother is a Singer" are critical. The melody of "A Horse with Wings" was more interesting and the words made us think that Ms. Taller herself is the one with wings, ready to fly.
What happy news that she is staying on at Mannes College for Music to get her Master's Degree! But the summer break will take her to Chicago to sing the role of Mrs. Herring in Britten's Albert Herring. That should be a fine opportunity for her and a delight for the Chicago audience.
Collaborative pianist Lochlan Brown made a perfect partner for her fine singing. We particularly enjoyed his playing in the Berlioz.

Boramey Chhaychan is 23. She has been dancing since she was nine, and learning apsara – the ancient and almost extinct dance of Cambodia – for the past six years . "It takes a huge amount of concentration to be the best," she tells me as she smoothes down the tiny creases in her makot – the silk gown into which she is sown before each performance, in order to achieve the requisite figure-embracing fit.
"The body has to be soft and flexible at the same time, your fingers have to be soft, too. There's also so much bending involved if you are the lead dancer that you absolutely can't be fat either," says Boramey. The list of requirements goes on. The apsara dancer should have, according to instruction manuals, "a round body like the body of a red ant" and "the eyes must be oval and sharp with folds in the eyelids".
Assuming that their eyelids are blessed with the requisite folds, the apsara dancer can then take to the stage, accompanied by instruments including the kong thom, a horseshoe-shaped semi-circle of metal chimes resting on wood that the player sits in the middle of, taut drum skins called rumana and a fish-skeleton-shaped xylophone called roneat thung.
Tonight, after days of sporadic power cuts, electricity miraculously returns to light up the stage as Boramey begins to perform the ancient dance of the perfect celestial female beings of the Khmer kingdom. Her hips roll in slow motion, fingers rise coquettishly to the hips and lips, long thin fingers are outstretched, beckoning and then recoiling. But only the tiniest glimmer of coy sexuality is ever hinted at. The falsetto choir of voices of the dozen singers to the side of the stage wails as the drum, slow and steady as a heartbeat, begins to flutter and float. Boramey kneels on the floor, seemingly as brittle as a falling leaf, before rising like an uncoiling snake. Her bare soles and heels are just as expressive as the hands and arms; every limb creates a flowing narrative of shapes.
Boramey ends by joining both thumbs together in the centre of the chest – an expression that is circumspect, meditative and motionless.
This extraordinary dance dates back to the 12th century. Yet in the late 20th century Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge almost succeeded in wiping it out for ever.
Even now, it only just survives: "The locals don't really seem to care about apsara," laments Vang Metry, of the Apsara Arts Association. "We only really get visitors from overseas who come to see our students perform. I give away free tickets sometimes but still almost nobody from round here shows up. They'd rather go and see rock'n'roll, I guess."
The Apsara Arts Association, set up 10 years ago, is a remarkable creation. It is located in the district of Thmey in the west of chaotic Phnom Penh. The theatre is built on concrete stilts beneath a thatched roof. The sides of the theatre are exposed to the huge lotus plants that rest on the waters of the Pong Peay. This is a stagnant expanse that carries the weight of much of the neighbourhood's sewage; to Westerners, the first word of the area's name is spot on.
The 130 students at the apsara school range in age from four to 23. A significant number are orphans. Accommodation is provided for them within the school; they practise dance in the morning and study in the afternoon. It's not just the allure of rock'n'roll that is preventing any chance of apsara regaining ground in the popular consciousness. Fire destroyed the National Theatre in 1994. And the University of Fine Arts, where apsara and other traditional dances are taught, was sold off to a property developer last year. The faculty was moved far out of Phnom Penh on a dirt road that is regularly washed away in wet season, a move which has had dire consequences for student numbers.
An additional problem is that to be a lead apsara dancer you must be unmarried and a virgin. When one of the country's best new prospects performed in front of the tourism minister for Cambodia in 2000, he decided to marry her.
"He stole her from us!" claims Metry. Now divorced, Ouk Phalla still dances. But, due to the law of the apsara, can no longer play the lead in ancient stories such as The Churning of the Ocean Milk, which tells how apsara girls were created through a symbolic Brahmanist scripture.
According to myth, the apsara dancers performed in the sky. Their curvaceous figures grace the bas-reliefs of the Angkor Wat temples. The iconic towers of this ancient complex comprise Cambodia's most popular tourist attraction. Angkor Wat was once home to thousands of apsara dancers, who performed for Cambodia's kings during the 12th century, a time when the kingdom covered vast areas of what today is Thailand and Vietnam.
The dancers on the walls of the temples are naked, though dancers today are adorned in silk chorabab skirts and five-pointed crowns with red frangipani flowers sown on to the side with cotton thread to create the effect of a falling stem.
Performances continued in the dancing pavilion of the Royal Palace for moonlight shows until the Khmer Rouge seized power in the mid-Seventies. Pol Pot's murderous thugs began to exterminate anyone who they believed stood in the way of achieving a peasant agrarian utopia. That included the practitioners of apsara.
Anybody with any hint of intellectual merit was slaughtered by order of "Brother Number One", as Pol Pot was known. Judgments were made on terms as spurious as whether a person wore glasses. Veng was a dance instructor who was forced to leave Phnom Penh and work in the fields.
"I had to hide my CV," Veng tells me. "The Khmer Rouge asked me what my job was and I lied and told them I was a farmer. It was only by going into the fields and observing what people did that I didn't get killed. I watched the farming methods that everyone else was using and simply copied whatever they did. Somehow they never noticed that I wasn't a farmer and I avoided death."
After the regime was finally defeated by an invading Vietnamese army, apsara was considered a low priority when it came to rebuilding this most disturbed and abused of societies. It was only in 1995 that the first revived performance was staged, guided by Princess Boppha Devl, a dancer with the royal troupe in the Sixties. She studied the bas-reliefs at Angkor Wat to re-learn the 1,500 positions that masters of the dance must know.
As the light darkens and a post-show dance class ends with the students giggling as they try to maintain their difficult stances, Vang laments the problems of keeping apsara alive.
"It's not getting any easier. We have power cuts almost every day in this part of the city. The government doesn't support us in any way," she says. "We rely entirely on funding from foreign donors.
Culture is not a high priority for the government, which is a shame as this is such an important part of Cambodian history. A lot of the students here are now dancing in the tourist restaurants near Angkor Wat. I would love there to be a day when visitors would mention apsara before they mention Pol Pot. If this is lost, then a part of Cambodia is lost forever."

Are you looking forward to learning about loading XML data strings, as well as searching and accessing nodes? Then this is the tutorial you've been waiting for since last week! Welcome to the second part of the series "Working with simpleXML in PHP 5." This three-part series introduces the most important features of the "simpleXML" extension that comes with PHP 5, and shows by several hands-on examples how to implement the handy set of XML-parsing functions that are included in this library.
For those of you who didn't read the first article, let me put you quickly in the right context. Over the course of the previous tutorial, I explained the basics of the excellent "simpleXML" library included with PHP 5, introducing the use of the "simplexml_load_file()" function. This can be remarkably useful if you need to add basic XML parsing capabilities to your PHP 5 applications, but don't wish to develop a full-blown XML parser.
Based on the capacity provided by the "simplexml_load_file()" function, I went through the development of different practical examples, aimed at illustrating how a specific XML file can be basically parsed in different ways, including the loading of XML data onto objects, as well as the localization (and eventually the extraction) of particular nodes within a file. In addition, due to the ubiquitous nature of this extension, I showed how to build a basic XML parsing class, which worked as a simple wrapper for the "simplexml_load_file()" function, allowing the retrieval of different nodes contained within an XML file, and more.
Hopefully, all the examples shown in the previous article have provided you with the right pointers to start using the "simpleXML" library with only minor hassles, therefore in this second tutorial, I'll continue exploring other helpful functions, focused primarily on loading XML data strings, as well as searching and accessing nodes.
Provided that all the topics that I mentioned before already caught your attention, let's continue exploring the handy functions included within the "simpleXML" extension. Let's get started!
In this case, after including the pertinent PHP file that contains the previous XML string (called "xml_string.php"), the above script uses the "simplexml_load_string()" function, first for loading XML data onto the $xml object, and then for displaying the values of the corresponding child nodes.
As you can see, these child nodes are accessed as object properties, which makes it extremely easy to traverse a given XML string, something similar to the examples that you learned regarding the implementation of the "simplexml_load_file()" function.
Don't tell me that wasn't pretty cool! The "simplexml_load_string()" function will allow you to load an XML string onto an object and traverse it by a regular "foreach" loop. Are you starting to see why this library is called "simpleXML"?
At this point, you saw how easy it is to load XML strings onto objects, so let's move one and see how specific nodes can be accessed as regular object properties. That's exactly the subject of the next section, therefore click on the link below to learn more about this.
Definitely, accessing nodes and attributes is a no-brainer process if you use the "simpleXML" extension, which has been hopefully demonstrated by the hands-on examples you learned before. Since all the code samples I wrote have followed a procedural approach, in the last section of this article I'll build up a simple XML parsing class that utilizes the "simplexml_load_string()" function for parsing XML strings.
To find out how this will be achieved, go ahead and read the next section.
If you examine the above class, you'll see that it takes up an XML data string as the only input parameter, which is used inside the constructor for loading the XML string onto an object. Once this $xml object is available within the class, it's possible to retrieve all the XML nodes of the given string, through the "fetchNodesAsObjects()" method.
Additionally, the class also has two extra methods. The first one, "fetchNodes()", is responsible for returning all the nodes that match a specific name, while the second one is tasked with counting the total number of specific nodes contained in the XML string.
In this case, the above script first instantiates an "XMLParser" object, and next calls in sequence all the methods that I discussed previously. Notice how all the <name> nodes are retrieved by calling the "fetchNodes()" method, and how the number of <email> nodes is determined via the "countNodes()" method.
Whether you're using a procedural approach or an object-based method, parsing XML strings with the "simpleXML" library is a fairly comprehensive process that you can learn quickly and incorporate into your own PHP 5 applications.
That's all for the moment. In this second tutorial, I showed you how to use the "simplexml_load_string()" function, in order to load and parse XML strings. Also, you learned how to access node attributes by using the syntax for associative array, which makes the whole learning experience even simpler and more straightforward.
Over the course of the last installment of the series, I'll be covering some additional functions that are part of the "simpleXML" extension, useful for comparing and replacing XML nodes. See you in the last part!

Rituximab and hepatitis B reactivation in HBsAg-negative/anti-HBc-positive kidney transplant recipients
Juhan Lee, Junyong Park, Kyu Ha Huh, Beom Seok Kim, Myoung Soo Kim, Soon Il Kim, SangHoon Ahn, YuSeun Kim
Background. Hepatitis B virus (HBV) reactivation is a wellknown complication of immunosuppressive therapy. Although rituximab is increasingly used for desensitization of ABOincompatible or positive crossmatch kidney transplantation, the risk of HBV reactivation in hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg)-negative/hepatitis B core antibody (anti-HBc)-positive kidney transplant patients receiving rituximab desensitization remains undetermined. Methods. We analysed 172 resolved HBV patients who underwent living donor kidney transplantation between 2008 and 2014. Patients were divided into rituximab (n 49) or control (n 123) groups. All patients were observed for HBV reactivation, which was defined as the reappearance of hepatitis B surface antigen or HBV DNA. Results. During the follow-up period (median, 58 months; range, 4-95 months), five patients (10.2%) in the rituximab group and two patients (1.6%) in the control group experienced HBV reactivation (P0.003). In the rituximab group, two patients experienced HBV-related severe hepatitis, and one patient died due to hepatic failure. The median time fromrituximab desensitization to HBV reactivation was 11 months (range, 5-22 months). By contrast, no patients in the control group experienced severe hepatitis. The status of hepatitis B surface antibody was similar between groups. Rituximab desensitization [hazard ratio (HR), 9.18; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.74-48.86; P0.009] and hepatitis B surface antibody status (HR, 4.74; 95% CI, 1.05-21.23, P0.04) were significant risk factors for HBV reactivation. Conclusions. Rituximab desensitization for incompatible kidney transplantation significantly increased the risk of HBV reactivation in HBsAg-negative/anti-HBc-positive patients. Therefore, closemonitoring of HBV DNA is required in these patients.

Death, taxes and fighting games with crappy storylines to justify their digital fisticuffs are a few constants in life. But NetherRealm's take on the genre may just be an exception to the rule, as the recent pair of Mortal Kombat titles and the 2013's first Injustice game were just as gripping to watch as they were to play.
It's a game where a fight between Batman and Superman actually makes sense, built on five years of animosity in a new world order with nary a sign of the Dark Knight being triggered whenever he walked into a camping shop and an assistant would ask him if he'd like to see their new range of Parkas on display.
Since its reveal last year and a tour around the convention circuits, Injustice 2 has been a bit quiet. What has been glimpsed however in the last couple of months, is that NetherRealm's brawler is actually looking visually shinier. Lighting models look more realistic, characters look more dynamic and we've had a glimpse at a few new additions to the roster along the way.
Other than that, NetherRealm is also betting the farm on the Gear System, to help give their latest brawler an edge against its competition. Hell, 2017 might basically be a sequel to Marvel vs DC, seeing as how Capcom will also be bringing out their big guns in the form of Marvel Vs Capcom Infinite this year.
I just really, really wish they'd change Batman's default standing pose. He kind of looks like he's trying to flag down an Uber ride. Or something a bit more juvenile if you catch my drift (Pssst I'm referring to pickle-tickling/punching the prime minister/abusing the wicked stick).


The following article assumes that you have successfully assembled the GoPiGo3 robot car from Dexter Industries. I found the assembly instructions well written and the parts are quite sturdy. I expected this considering that the GoPiGo3 is aimed at the education market rather than the hobbyist and to have a product that children will work with needs to be sturdy. Having said that, I believe the GoPiGo3 is an ideal platform for the hobbyist and anyone interested in robotics and IoT. Kudos to the engineers at Dexter Industries. You can learn more about the GoPiGo3 by visiting https://www.dexterindustries.com/gopigo3/.
The GoPiGo3 parts on the dining room table.
The wheels and their motor.
The Raspberry Pi is attached.
Completed with the Grove GoPiGo3 board attached on top of the Pi.
The Raspberry Pi that I am using in the car is a Pi 3 model B. This version of the Pi has WiFi built in so an external WiFi dongle is not required. The completed unit needs 12 volts to power it rather than the Pi's usual 5 volts. The extra voltage is for the electric motors. You are expected to use 8 AA batteries. Rather than use disposable batteries I ordered an 8 pack of rechargeable batteries and an 8-slot charger from Amazon. I chose batteries that had the highest milliamp rating, 2800 mA. Rechargeable batteries are 1.25 volts so the total voltage is 10 rather than 12 volts but the car runs without any problem.
Dexter provides two different OS images that you can use. The first is DexterOS. This OS does not require you to interact with the Raspberry Pi such as adding a keyboard, mouse and monitor. When the Pi boots up it is a wi-fi hotspot that you can connect your computer, tablet or any other device that has a web browser. Once you connect to the Pi's wi-fi you open your browser and go to http://mygopigo.com.
You can now carry on a number of tasks with the car. I was just interested in verifying that it works so I chose Drive from the web page. The page that came up presented buttons to move the car forward or backwards, turn left or right, and stop. Here is a short video of my car driving.
There are two ways to code the car using DexterOS, both with a web interface. My goal is to use Java so DexterOS was not suitable. Instead I switched to Dexter's version of Raspbian for Robots.
Raspbian for Robots is a full-fledged, for a Pi, Linux distribution. Initially you will need to connect a keyboard, mouse and monitor to configure the Pi. Once complete you can manage the Pi remotely and no longer need the keyboard, mouse and monitor.
When you start your Pi with Raspbian for Robots you will be presented with a GUI desktop. The desktop image below is not the same as what you will see as this is what it looks like after the operating system is updated.
GoPiGo3's Raspberry Pi up and running.
When your desktop comes up on your monitor the first thing to do is to run WiFi Setup that you will find on the desktop. You can now connect the Pi to your home wi-fi. Take note of the IP number your router will give your Pi. You will need this to connect remotely to the Pi. Verify that the setup is successful by opening the Pi's browser and enter in a URL. I recommend https://www.omnijava.com. For more details on configuring the wi-fi read https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/wireless/.
Now you can carry out the operating system update. On the desktop you will find DI Software Update. Run this and after a few minutes your Pi will be updated with the latest version of Raspbian plus updates to the Dexter software.
Here are some strongly recommended configuration tasks that you should carry out.
Clicking on the Raspberry Pi logo in the upper left corner will display a menu. Select Preferences and on the next menu select Raspberry Pi configuration. You will now see the following.
The first thing to do is change the password. By default the user name is 'pi' and the password is 'robots1234'. As your robot will on a wi-fi network you should change the password.
The default Hostname is 'dex'. Its not necessary to change it but I do to personalize my Pi on the network.
I uncheck Auto login: Login as user 'pi'. Rarely should a system log in itself.
Change the Boot to CLI rather than Desktop. I do this because I will be accessing the Pi remotely and I don't need the Pi to execute a desktop that will not be seen. The goal of this project is to control the car from either a web page or a web service in Java so a desktop is not required.
The only other configuration you may inspect and change is Localization. Here is where you can provide information on where you are in the world, your time zone, your keyboard type, and the wi-fi country.
You can verify the operation of the car by running the GoPiGo3 Control Panel that you will find on the desktop. Like with the DexterOS web interface, this program, that I believe is written in Python, will let you move the car forward, backwards, let, right and stop. It should work.
There is one last step in this setup. As we do not want to leave the keyboard, mouse, and monitor connected to the card we need to use a remote desktop tool. Normally the standard application is VNC. This is the choice if your development system is Linux or Mac based. It will also work fine with Windows. See https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/remote-access/vnc/README.md for information on setting it up.
I prefer Windows 10 for my development environment. I could use a VNC client in Windows but I prefer to use the Windows Remote Desktop (RDP) application. To do this you need a Microsoft compatible Remote Desktop server on the Pi. I recommend xrdp. It works flawlessly and does not require additional software on your dev machine. Even when I use a Mac I load up Microsoft's Remote Desktop client for the Mac rather than use VNC. This is not a slight to VNC. Rather, as I use RDP to access multiple Windows systems I do not want to use a different client for Linux based systems. You can find the instructions to install xrdp at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/xrdp. The instruction to open the firewall for port 3389 does not work but the port is open.
Now you are ready for the first test. With the Pi still connected to the keyboard, mouse and monitor go to your Window computer, open the RDP client, enter the IP number of your Pi, and click on Connect. A window should open asking you for your user name and password.
If all has gone well you should see the Raspbian desktop on your computer.
Now, shutdown the Pi. Remove the keyboard, mouse, and monitor from the Pi. Turn on the Pi. After about a minute open your Remote Desktop client on your Windows computer and connect to the Pi. If you see a desktop similar to the image above then you are ready to start coding for the GoPiGo3.
I'd like to thank John Cole and Dexter Industries for supplying me with the GoPiGo3 Basic kit. The goal is to return Java to first class language status for GrovePi and GoPiGo3 software development.


Chef Simon Moon is the owner of Korea Garden Grille, the subject of this week's Café review. If you have never eaten Korean barbecue before, this is a great place to try it, because chef Moon makes the experience really easy. When several people in our party confessed that they didn't know where to start, Moon took them through the entire buffet line, explaining it item by item.
The chef lit the grill in the middle of our table and suggested that we get some cold banchan dishes like kim chee, seaweed salad and cold noodle salad to start. And while we were eating those appetizers, Moon came over to our table with a pile of raw kalbi (marinated short rib meat) and raw bulgogi (marinated rib eye steak) and arranged them on the hot grill. Moon proceeded to cook our entire meal for us.
Of course it was the middle of the afternoon on a weekday, and the restaurant was nearly empty. Don't expect personal-chef service on a weekend night. But if you have any questions about Korean barbecue, don't hesitate to ask chef Moon -- he is a very helpful guy.


With PocketECG you get the complete picture.
PocketECG, the complete diagnostic solution for diagnosis of arrhythmia, provides full disclosure ECG Signal, complete data, analysis and comprehensive reporting. The PocketECG system makes more precise diagnosis possible, even in cases that may go undetected with offline monitoring like Holter and multi-week patch methods.
PocketECG's constant monitoring captures and classifies every heartbeat, records the onset and offset of every arrhythmia and detects all ventricular and supraventricular arrhythmias, making for more comprehensive and complete data.
PocketECG's proprietary algorithms run full statistical analyses based on the complete data set, not just intervals in time, like other monitors. The full-disclosure signal is streamed directly to an independent diagnostic testing facility.
PocketECG is a unique technology that combines the quantitative analysis of full-disclosure ECG signal and provides easy-to-read graphical charts, front-page statistical summaries, calendar views of trends and full data sets to create a comlete picture of patient's heart rhythm.
New Research presented at the 2018 Heart Rhythm Society Annual Scientific Sessions, demonstrated that PocketECG's extended online monitoring capabilities increased diagnostic yield for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) over any other monitoring method, including a 36% increase over the multi-day patch.
Research shows that PocketECG's monitoring methods, which provide cardiologists with continuous, full-disclosure ECG monitoring, extended duration time and measurement of heart rate, at rest and during activity, are more likely to increase DY.
Continuous ECG monitoring and longer monitoring duration times also significantly improve the likelihood of AF detection. Equally important, however, is the reliability, comprehensiveness, timeliness, availability and relevance of the information provided by PocketECG.
PocketECG is a complete diagnostic solution designed to meet all of these critical performance criteria, and more, with its ability to capture and label every heart beat while transmitting full-disclosure ECG signal for up to 30 days.
Which type of mobile cardiac monitoring device can best detect AF? What should cardiologists look for in selecting a monitoring system that will improve diagnostic yield (DY)?

A Magical Milestone Celebration
Written by Mary Ann Fitzmorris February 23, 2021 05:13 in Dining Diary
Tom is often asked about his favorite restaurant. One would think that would be something he has to ponder, with all the fantastic restaurants here, and his full access to them all. But he has never wavered on the answer to that question. It is immediate and firm. Antoine's is and always has been Tom's favorite restaurant. He will concede that it is maybe not the best restaurant in New Orleans, but it hits all the right notes for him. Always.
For me, the planning of a big milestone birthday for Tom is also never an extended thought. Tom celebrated his 60th birthday there, and his 70th would be not exactly a repeat of the 60th, but another very special evening.
The 60th birthday was an excuse for Tom to drink some of his very good wines with his gourmet buddies who would know and appreciate what they were drinking. The remainder of the guest list was Tom's sisters. It was an extremely small and select group of his oldest friends.
Because of his age and declining health, the guest list for this one was different. Wines were not the focus. College friends and other really close friends at all stages of his life were included, as well as family.
My siblings came to town, feeling that life is so uncertain now they would grab the chance to be together. Tom's sisters stayed home because of COVID. The COVID policy was anything anyone felt comfortable with. That meant a number of people stayed home, others wore masks. The restaurant observed all protocols, and tables were spread out in a very large room. Balcony windows were open.
The wines that were such a focus last time were scooped up and sorted out later. Most of them came from Tom's office, and I knew nothing about any of them. AJ, the wonderful sommelier at Antoine's helped steer me. And the incredible Charles Carter counseled me with "save these for your children."
Soon guests began to arrive, and one of them was unforgettable, wearing the tie of the evening. It was silk and had a collage of images of Tom. So fun. He told me there was one in his gift bag for Tom.
A gigantic ice bucket was set up with bottles of champagne and other wines. Glasses of champagne lined up on a table awaited guests when they arrived.
Unlimited platters of souffle potatoes with Bearnaise sauce were a great way to start the evening. Souffle potatoes everywhere are hit or miss for me, but these were excellent. Soft in the right places, crispy in the rest, these were the pinnacle of the legendary dish.
After sitting Charles and his able sidekick the young Silas supplied us with stacks of loaves of the delicious cap bread served in the Grande Dames. This was followed by the crabmeat ravigote and shrimp remoulade, as well as Oysters Rockefeller. And constant wine. Even I drank four glasses of champagne that night.
Entree choices were the New Orleans signature, Trout Amandine, or the steak with Marchand de Vin Sauce. One doesn't think steak at a place like Antoine's, but why not? It's a first class restaurant and steak is ubiquitous, so it follows that a steak at Antoine's would be great. We had dinner there recently and the steak looked like one of the best I've seen, so we included it in the choice birthday night. There were at least as many steaks on the tables that night as Trout Amandine, and Charles brought the birthday boy his reigning favorite, Speckled Trout Florentine. I was glad the birthday boy was sitting next to me, so I could scoop some of his creamed spinach every now and then. The Speckled Trout is pan seared with breadcrumbs and covered in cheese, surrounded by creamed spinach. This seems a pedestrian dish for Tom but it's really delicious.
My Trout Amandine was the best I have ever had. It was perfection. Hot, crisp, napped in brown butter and covered with almonds and crabmeat, this was a great version of the classic. The steak people were just as enthusiastic. The three inches of beef was accompanied by mushrooms and Marchand du Vin sauce. Green beans and mashed potatoes filled out this plate.
There was wine aplenty and great conversations, good memories shared, pics taken, and soon Charles brought in the enormous Baked Alaska. It had Tom's birth year and was heavy enough that Charles looked anxious to put it down.It was surprising how completely it disappeared. There were several people in the room who had never had Baked Alaska, and they were instant fans.
When one person leaves the others follow, and soon the party was over, leaving only wonderful memories behind.

THE FEAST OF THE SYNAXIS OF THE ARCHANGELS AT THE PATRIARCHATE
On Saturday, November 9/21, 2020, the Patriarchate celebrated the commemoration of the Holy Archangels Michael and Gabriel at the Holy Monastery dedicated to Archangel Michael which is located near the sea in the ancient town of Joppa /Yaffo.
On this feast, the Church gathers for the Synaxis of the Archangels Michael and Gabriel and commemorates the event that these Bodiless Hosts, the Chiefs of the Angels, fought against Lucifer when the latter opposed God, and prevented with God's help the other Angels' fall, by saying "Stand firm". The Church holds the belief of the testimony in the Holy Bible, both in the Old and in the New Testament, by which the Archangels and all the Angels are "ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation" (Hebrews 1:14).
According to the New Testament, Archangel Gabriel announced to Virgin Mary the Nativity in the flesh of our Lord Jesus Christ, through the Holy Spirit. Angels sang on the Nativity of the Divine Infant "Glory to God in the Highest and on earth peace…", Angels informed Joseph in his sleep to flee to Egypt to escape Herod's fury, and Angels summoned him back from Egypt to Nazareth so that the Lord would be called "Nazarene".
This feast was celebrated in this Holy Monastery with the Divine Liturgy which was officiated by H.H.B. our Father and Patriarch of Jerusalem Theophilos, with co-celebrants their Eminences; Metropolitan Kyriakos of Nazareth, the Archbishops; Damascene of Joppa, Aristarchos of Constantina and Metropolitan Joachim of Helenoupolis, Hagiotaphite Hieromonks, with first in rank Archimandrite Elder Kamarasis Nectarios, the Archimandrites; Niphon and Artemios, the ministering Priests of the Church from the Arab-speaking Community, Priest Konstanti and the ministering Priests of the Russian-speaking and Romanian-speaking Community, Archdeacon Mark and Hierodeacon Eulogios. The chanting was delivered by the Community choir in Arabic, as the Service was attended by faithful Christians of the Arab-speaking Community, as well as Russians and Romanians, along with the Ambassador of Greece in Tel Aviv Mr Panayiotis Sarris and the Consul General of Greece in Jerusalem, Mr Evangelos Vlioras.
Before the Holy Communion, His Beatitude delivered the following Sermon:
"But to which of the angels said he at any time, sit on my right hand, until I make Thine enemies thy footstool? Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?" (Hebrews 1:13-14) Saint Paul preaches.
Beloved Brethren in Christ,
Noble Christians
Today the grace of the Holy Spirit has gathered us in this Church of the Chiefs of the Archangels Michael and Gabriel, in the historic and Biblical town of Joppa (Yaffo), in order to praise in Eucharist and Doxology the bodiless Angelic forces, who surround God's immaculate throne, and cry out unceasingly to Him 'Holy, Holy, Holy art Thou God Almighty', as Prophet Isaiah says: "I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple. Above it stood the seraphim: each one had six wings; with twain, he covered his face, and with twain, he covered his feet, and with twain, he did fly. And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory" (Isaiah 6:1-3).
And according to the Evangelist John's testimony; "Jesus answered and said unto Nathanael, verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man" (John 1:51). "As the genuine Son of God, the Angels were ascending and descending upon Him, ministering Him," Zigavinos says. Quite important is also the interpretation of Saint Cyril of Alexandria regarding the Angels' liturgical ministry: "Upon the Son of man, serving and ministering Christ's orders for the salvation of His future believers. For while He is Son of God, it is then [in the future] that He should be recognized as Son of God by nature".
Very clear is also the Holy Evangelist Luke's testimony regarding the Angels: "And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, goodwill toward men" (Luke 2-8-14).
Moreover, the Angels have as their mission the protection and help of the people, for the sake of their salvation, as Saint Paul preaches: "Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?" (Hebrews 1:14). Interpreting these words, Saint John Damascene says: "see the boldness of the Angels, that the Lord sits high above and the Angels minister Him from down below". And Saint John Chrysostom says: "The Angels' ministry is to serve God for our (the people's) salvation…They are servants of God and are sent to many places for our sake". In other words, the Angels care for the salvation of each one of us.
In today's Apostolic reading, Saint Paul underlines the diligence we faithful should display, in order to achieve our salvation: "For if the word spoken by angels was steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense of reward; How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him"(Hebrews 2:2-3). In more detail, if every disobedience of the Law, which God announced to Moses through the Angels was justly punished, how are we going to escape the punishment if we neglect such a great and significant salvation? This salvation was not spoken through the Angels like it was done in the case of the Law, but once it started being preached by the Lord, it was handed over to us, a certain and reliable testimony by the Apostles who had heard everything directly from Christ's mouth.
And the temporary Bishop Joel of Pella is wondering: "what do we mean by the word 'salvation'? We mean man's rescue; the man who is made according to the likeness of God was tarnished, for this reason, it was necessary for Christ to come to earth, to wash clean the likeness and guide man towards his perfection. Salvation is the rescuing of man and his union with God. "Nothing is more sought after and more studied by God than the salvation of our souls", Saint Chrysostom writes. Saint Peter also says this: "Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls" (1 Peter 1:9).
Underlining man's value and of course that of his soul, Saint Paul borrows the Psalmist's words: "Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands" (Hebrews 2:7/ Psalm 9:6).
Needless to say, that the Angels are superior to the humans, because they are not mortals, and they are not described as having a bodily form, Saint John Damascene says. "Because they are not mortals. They are noetic beings and are found in noetic places, they are not described as having a bodily form, but being and acting in a noetic manner…just as they have been ordained by the Creator, and in that form, they protect and help us; they are around God, working the Divine will and orders for our sake in all manners".
Behold, therefore, why the Holy Church of Christ especially honours and venerates the Synaxis of the Angels, which is led by Michael, the Chief Brigadier of the bodiless hosts. Let us then say along with the hymnographer: "Angels and Archangels, Thrones, Authorities, and Dominions, Principalities and Powers, Cherubim and Seraphim, together with the Theotokos, make entreaty in the world's behalf" (Minaion, Matins, 1st Canon of Ode 9, Troparion 2). Amen. Many happy returns!"
The Divine Liturgy was followed by a reception and then a meal, hosted by the renovator of the Monastery Most Reverend Archbishop Damascene of Joppa, who also re-constructed the Holy Church of Archangel Michael after it its destruction by fire in 1956.
The feast of the Archangels was also celebrated at their Holy Monastery, opposite the Patriarchate, on the south side.
Vespers in the afternoon and the Divine Liturgy in the morning were officiated by the renovator of the Holy Church Most Reverend Archbishop Demetrios of Lydda, with co-celebrants; Elder Dragoman Archimandrite Mattheos, Archimandrite Demetrios and Hierodeacon Simeon. The chanting was delivered by Mr Vasilios Gotsopoulos and the Patriarchal School of Zion Students, with the help of the Choir Leader of the Monastic Church of Saints Constantine and Helen Archimandrite Eusevios.
After the Divine Liturgy, His Eminence offered a reception at the courtyard of the Church.

ABERDEEN PROVING GROUND, Md. -- The U.S. Army Evaluation Center, or AEC, gained a new sergeant major during a change of responsibility ceremony July 17 at the U.S. Army Test and Evaluation Command, or ATEC, Headquarters on Aberdeen Proving Ground.
With the passing of the AEC colors during the ceremony, Sgt. Maj. Michael A. Goodman assumed responsibility as AEC sergeant major from Command Sgt. Maj. Gabriel A. Espinosa Jr.
James C. Cooke, director of AEC, presided over the ceremony and spoke at the event, highlighting and thanking Espinosa for being such a remarkable leader in the Army over the years.
"It has been an honor having you serve here at AEC, being my right hand man and helping provide the utmost professionalism, respect and leadership to the workforce," said Cooke.
Espinosa entered the Army January 1988 and attended the Basic and Advanced Individual Training at Fort Sill, Oklahoma. Since then, he has carried numerous leadership positions from section chief to command sergeant major.
Under his adept leadership, AEC successfully conducted over 500 tests including initial, follow-up, demonstration, rapid initiative, and assessments, providing the essential information required for the acquisition and fielding of war-fighting systems.
With Espinosa's vision, tenacity, professionalism, and extraordinary leadership, he created a climate for increasing efficiency and improving effectiveness while ensuring "truth in testing" was always provided to ATEC's ultimate customer, the warfighter.
Cooke stated that within the 18 months Espinosa served at AEC, he worked hard to help others understand the importance of test and evaluation. "Since a lot of the command's workforce is primarily Civilians, he made an effort to familiarize them with what the Soldiers go through so we can successfully complete the mission."
"Looking back over my career from the beginning to present, I am most proud of having the ability to have an influence on both soldier and civilian careers," said Espinosa. "I will miss the people, the work and the comradery I've had while serving at AEC."
"He [Espinosa] has had an incredible impact on this organization, and he's going to have an incredible impact in his next job, or wherever he may go," said Cooke.
Cooke then congratulated and welcomed Goodman and his family to the AEC team.
"I am so thrilled to have you and your family join the team," said Cooke. "You are going to do a fantastic job serving as the AEC sergeant major."
Goodman previously served as the Brigade Operations Sergeant Major at the 1st Brigade Combat Team, 10th Mountain Division in Fort Drum, New York. He has held numerous leadership positions to include: Team Leader, Section and Squad Leader, Platoon Sergeant, First Sergeant, and Battalion Operations Sergeant Major.
"I believe that action and deeds speak louder than words. I love this country, I love the Army, and the Soldiers and Civilians that make up this complex melting pot, that we call the United States of America," said Goodman. "I look forward to adding to the great team at ATEC and AEC."
Espinosa received the Legion of Merit from the Director of the Army Staff and the Certificate of Appreciation from the Commander in Chief. Vanessa Espinosa, spouse of Espinosa, received the Outstanding Civilian Service Medal from ATEC's former commander, Maj. Gen. John W. Charlton and the Certificate of Appreciation from the Chief of Staff of the Army.

Fed's Decision Lifts Utility, Material and Industrial Stocks
Robert Hum@HumOnTheMarkets
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke speaks during a press conference announcing that the Fed will take no action on interest rates at the Federal Reserve Bank on January 25, 2012 in Washington, DC
Utility, material and industrial companies led the gains in the S&P 500 index on Wednesday, after the Federal Reserve announced it will keep interest rates near zero in the long-term.
"The committee decided to keep the target range for the federal funds rate at zero to one four percent, " said Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke at a news conference.
"We currently anticipate that economic conditions are likely to warrant exceptionally low levels for the federal funds rate at least until late 2014."
Utility stocks traded higher after the announcement, as investors sought high-yielding assets.
In fact, both the utilities and material sectors reversed course in the afternoon after lagging all morning.
Separately, commodities also rose while the US dollar weakened. Gold futures for February delivery, for example, settled $1,700.1 per ounce, their highest level since December 9.

The crowd at Sarah's Place in Brewerytown.
Sarah's Place, the bar in Brewerytown with a killer Citywide Special, is beginning a new music series to bring back the sixties. "Philadelphia in the Summer of '64" is a live music performance that will take place every last Friday of June, July and August.
Why 1964? Well, that summer was full of historical musical moments for Philadelphia that still affect the city's music scene today.
June 1964: Yusef Lateef plays at Pep's, a renowned Philadelphia jazz club. The record from that performance, "Live at Pep's," has since been hailed as one of Lateef's best live sets. His integration of Eastern instrumentation foreshadowed the arrival of world music, a major influence on none other than Brewerytown resident John Coltrane.
On Friday, three DJs, a saxophonist and a filmmaker will present an audiovisual retrospective of the influential album. DJ's will kick off the night at 7:30 p.m. with music by Hey, Stainless Steele and Sigmund Washington starting at 8:30 p.m., supported with visuals by Tellington and Chris Hund.
Friday, July 24 will be dedicated to the aforementioned John Coltrane. In 1964, Coltrane left the Miles Davis Quartet and played three shows in Philadelphia in anticipation of his renown 1965 album "A Love Supreme." A similar combination of DJs, musicians and filmmakers will present for another audiovisual love letter.
The theme of the August show has yet to be announced.

SwiftKey Turns One, Introduces New Features
by Jennifer Johnson — Saturday, July 16, 2011, 01:18 PM EDT
Using a third-party Android keyboard is pretty common these days. Whether you chose SWYPE, SwiftKey, or another keyboard, most users will agree that these third-party keyboards have much more to offer than the stock Android keyboard.
Recently, Touch Type introduced two new keyboards that are sure to catch the attention of some Android users. The first is SwiftKey X. According to the company, this keyboard is " the most advanced product we've engineered to date, and it's packed full of new features." The second new keyboard is designed specifically for tablets and is appropriately called SwiftKey Tablet X. SwiftKey Tablet X offers many of the same features as SwiftKey X but with the addition of a split key that is designed with tablet typing in mind.
TouchType Inc. Launches Flagship SwiftKey X App for Android Smartphones and Tablets
Award-Winning Android Keyboard Extended to Tablet Form Factor
SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwire - July 14, 2011) - TouchType Inc. today announced the availability of SwiftKey™ X for smartphones and SwiftKey™ Tablet X, two new intuitive Android keyboard apps. The launch builds on the company's success with its original Android keyboard app SwiftKey™, which debuted one year ago and has since enjoyed more than 1.5 million downloads.
Among the key advances in both smartphone and tablet apps are:
Fluency 2.0 language inference engine (http://touchtype-online.com/technology/intelligent-text-entry): the latest evolution in artificial intelligence-driven text entry. Fluency 2.0 uses machine learning to predict and correct by observing how a user composes text and then predicts what they will likely type next.
Cloud Learning using Gmail, Twitter and Facebook: TouchType's cloud-based personalization service learns from a user's message history to offer a custom-fit prediction and correction experience never seen before on mobile or tablet.
Integration of Touch Interaction Modeling: a technology that conducts real-time analysis of the user's touchscreen typing precision to improve word accuracy and predictions.
In addition, SwiftKey Tablet X incorporates an innovative split key layout for thumb typing on the larger touchscreen tablet form factor. The concept, developed by TouchType ahead of a showcase at Google's Honeycomb launch in February, has already been recognized for its innovative approach with a CTIA Emerging Technology award.
"Our new apps for smartphone and tablet give consumers direct access to the world's most advanced language technology of its kind," said Jon Reynolds, co-founder and CEO, TouchType Inc. "We've built SwiftKey X and SwiftKey Tablet X closely with our very passionate community of users over the last six months to offer an unrivaled touchscreen typing experience. Finally, we're excited to offer it to the market as a whole."
Among the wide range of new features coming to both smartphone and tablet applications, notable additions include:
Keyboard themes and new customizations for both apps;
Options to choose from more than 20 languages;
Flexibility to enable users to type in up to three languages at once, with auto-correction that is language-aware;
Improved settings and installer user interface.
SwiftKey X supports all Android 2.X smartphones and retails at $3.99. SwiftKey Tablet X supports all Android 2.X/3.X tablets and retails at $4.99. Both apps are available via the Android Market and Amazon Appstore. To commemorate the first anniversary of SwiftKey's beta launch, TouchType will offer a 48-hour promotion (http://swiftkey.net/download) of SwiftKey X and SwiftKey Tablet X for $1.99 each.*
* Promotion runs from 6am PDT 7/14 until 6am PDT 7/16
