The Hockey Committee would like to start by saying we REALLY miss hockey right now and cannot wait for the Club to open again! While there seems to be light at the end of the tunnel, the timing of tryouts is still unclear as Connecticut Hockey Conference, under USA Hockey, has suspended all play, including tryouts, until further notice. And many rinks that operate year-round do not expect to open before the end of June. With that information, we now expect to hold tryouts in September. We know all players will be rusty before tryouts. To help players stay connected with hockey and to prepare for next year, our 2020-2021 coaches at each age-level will reach out in May to all players signed up for tryouts to introduce themselves and offer training tips and fun challenges. The goal is to have periodic communication with the players to keep them connected to the Club and the sport they love while also improving their skills in the off-season. We also make every effort to provide practice ice to help players get ready closer to tryouts. Stay tuned for more information on that.
Now, we would like to look forward. The Hockey Committee is excited to announce next year's initiatives. The GSC mission is for our children to develop a love for the game of hockey, develop age-appropriate hockey skills, and learn the value of sportsmanship, hard work, and character building through athletic competition. The goal is that our children will learn these valuable lessons through proper instruction and by watching the behavior and attitudes of their coaches and parents who supervise and support their activities. We are announcing the following initiatives to continue to improve the coaching and skill-delivery of our programs.
Welcome Ian Tarrant, Our New Mite and Hockey Skills Director
Ian Tarrant will be joining the Greenwich Skating Club as our new Mite and Hockey Skills Director. He will oversee our mite program and help implement best practices for our age-level practice progressions and to organize our new weekly skills sessions. Ian has been coaching hockey for a decade, three years at GSC, and is a familiar face to Greenwich hockey parents. In addition to all the significant contributions he has made to Fairfield County youth hockey coaching, most recently, Ian coached the GSC Wings Squirt A-Team to a hugely successful season in 2019-20, where the team won the CHC Tier 3 State Championship. Ian attended the Berkshire School and played for Western Connecticut State University. Please welcome Ian back for this fourth season at GSC and his new role!
Mite Program Improvements
With Coach Ian come several other exciting new additions to make our Wings program the best in the area! The 2020-21 Season will include two team practices and one skills session practice each week, with next season featuring fewer teams on the ice for each practice session, so more room and an ever-better player/coach ratio. Our top two teams will move to the Chelsea Piers Sunday, half-ice league, and the balance of our teams will continue to compete on Saturdays in Chelsea Piers cross ice league. We have added two additional Saturday game ice slots at Sono Ice House's studio rink. Sono is where all our Mite teams will have a regular and balanced supplemental game schedule, plus we will continue to have Saturday afternoon home games in the prime Skating Club 3:15 pm time window. The Top mites plan to go back to Clifton Park in March for the Mite Madness Tournament.
In addition, we are creating a girl's Mite program given the demand for this and many examples supporting the idea that the comradery and experience of an all-girls team is more important than any playing ability gap that might exist when we combine all of the mite girls on one team.
ADM Skill-Based Practice Progression
Coaching manuals based on USA Hockey's American Development Model ("ADM") which focus on age-appropriate skill-based practice progressions will be provided to coaches of all level teams. The ADM model will help coaches continue to strive toward the most efficient and impactful learning model for our players. The ADM model will also help us better monitor skill progression as our players rise through the ranks to ensure they are ready for our top teams or to take the next step after graduating from the GSC programs.
Mental Toughness Curriculum
We will be working with Dr. Wally Bzdell ("Doc Wally") to provide age-appropriate mental toughness training and coaching instructions throughout the season. Mental toughness training will include a pre-season coaching seminar and coaching strategies for our coaches to use with our players during the season. The goal is to ensure our coaches use the right coaching strategies and that our players learn the appropriate tools to set and achieve goals and to deal with adversity. Doc Wally has 25 years of mental toughness training, is a NYS licensed psychologist, and USA Hockey Level 5 Coach. Doc Wally works with numerous D1 hockey programs and NHL players, and has coached a NYS championship team and currently coaches 14U AAA and high school levels. Doc Wally played hockey at Union College.
Added Skills Session
We will be adding weekly skills sessions for next season to focus on improved power skating, stickhandling, shooting, and passing. We will have three practices per week in September and from October through February, two practices per week plus a skills session for players that want to improve their skills. Coach Ian will implement age-level skills progressions throughout the year.
GSC Shooting and Stickhandling Station
We are excited to announce a new addition on our GSC property. We are planning to add an outdoor shooting and stickhandling station modeled after many of the summer hockey camps. This station will allow teams to cycle through shooting and stickhandling drills and will provide our players with the opportunity to have 3 to 4 weekly practices, two of which are 100% skill-based. We hope to create an environment at the Club which encourages our players to practice on and off-ice and decreases driving for parents currently taking their kids to other facilities for this type of training.
Coaching Slate For 2020-2021
We are excited to announce next year's coaching slate. We believe we have some of the best coaches in CHC, who understand GSC's mission, appreciate the role hockey can play in youth development, and they LOVE HOCKEY! We are projecting that we will have one Bantam team, two Peewee teams, two Squirt teams, one U14 team, one U12 team, and one U10 team
George Genise ("Coach") and Zach Zannino ("Coach Z")

He and Coach Zannino have coached together for six years and are a great team focusing on skill progression and developing an understanding of hockey strategy and team play. George and Zach build teams based on concepts of commitment, accountability, development, and respect. Zach is a GSC lifer, playing Mites through Bantams at the Club and has coached for ten years, 6 of which have been at GSC.

Mite Director Ian Tarrant will partner with more than ten former college and professional hockey players that are mite and mini- mite coaches who have helped make such a significant impact on our players for the past four seasons. These coaches are the foundation of our program and will rise through the coaching ranks as their children move up age levels. Listed below are some of these coaches, amongst many others.

NVCN is expecting further significant strengthening in the exchange rate. The symbol contradicts this very low ATR and low speed. What we base our theory on is the fractal structures that have emerged in the past. At the moment we are at the beginning of the formation of a 2x fractal . The exchange rate is trying to rise from an ATR cross-axis. If successful, you can add another structure of 2x fractal .


This 54 card deck is about the dichotomy of a life at sea. The red side of the deck; hearts and diamonds; explores famous sailors, explorers, pirates, and privateers of the age of sail. The court cards focus on the actual historical figures of the time and the cards ranked 2-10 of the hearts and diamonds feature different types of ships. The dark side of the deck explores the dangers sailors would face; be them real or fantasy. Court cards for the spades and clubs explore the monstrous creatures thought to lurk below the waves, while the ranked 2-10 cards focus more on superstitions and ghost ships.

Name: Andrew Frederick Weatherby "Proccy" Beauchamp-Proctor
Born: 04 September 1894
Place of Birth: Cape Province
Died: 21 June 1921
Place of Death: Near Enford, Wiltshire, England
Cemetery: Mafikeng, South Africa
The son of a school teacher, Andrew Frederick Weatherby Beauchamp-Proctor was South Africa's highest scoring ace during World War I. When the war began, he was a student of engineering at the University of Cape Town but abandoned his studies to join the army. He served as a signaller in the Duke of Edinburgh's Own Rifles and saw action in German South-West Africa before his discharge from the army in August 1915. After completing his education, Beauchamp-Proctor joined the Royal Flying Corps in March 1917 and was commissioned upon his arrival in England. Having successfully completed pilot training, he was posted to 84 Squadron in late July and accompanied this unit to France in September 1917.
An S.E.5a pilot, Beauchamp-Proctor was just five feet two inches tall. His height made it necessary to raise the seat and modify the controls of the aircraft he flew. Despite these difficulties and a crash on 11 March 1918, Beauchamp-Proctor claimed 54 victories that year and became the British Empire's highest scoring balloon-buster.
Beauchamp-Proctor was killed in a flying accident at Central Flying School, Upavon on 21 June 1921.
Evening Telegraph, Dundee, Scotland, Thursday, 23 June 1921, page 7
T./2nd Lt. Andrew Weatherby Beauchamp-Proctor, Gen. List, and R.F.C.
For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. While on offensive patrol he observed an enemy two-seater plane attempting to cross our lines. He engaged it and opened fire, with the result that it fell over on its side and crashed to earth. On a later occasion, when on patrol, he observed three enemy scouts attacking one of our bombing machines. He attacked one of these, and after firing 100 rounds in it, it fell over on its back and was seen to descend in that position from 5,000 feet. He then attacked another group of hostile scouts, one of which he shot down completely out of control, and another crumpled up and crashed to earth. In addition to these, he has destroyed another hostile machine, and shot down three completely out of control. He has at all times displayed the utmost dash and initiative, and is a patrol leader of great merit and resource.
Supplement to the London Gazette, 22 June 1918 (30761/7403)
T./2nd Lt. (T./Capt.) Andrew Weatherby Beauchamp-Proctor, M.C., Gen. List., attd. R.A.F.
For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty while leading offensive patrols. He has lately destroyed three enemy machines, driven down one other completely out of control, and carried out valuable work in attacking enemy troops and transport on the ground from low altitudes. He has done splendid service.
(M.C. gazetted 22nd June, 1918.)
Supplement to the London Gazette, 16 September 1918 (30901/10881)
Distinguished Flying Cross (DFC)
Lt. (T./Capt.) Andrew Weatherby Beauchamp-Proctor, M.C.
A brilliant and fearless leader of our offensive patrols.
His formation has destroyed thirteen enemy machines and brought down thirteen more out of control in a period of a few months.
On a recent morning his patrol of five aeroplanes attacked an enemy formation of thirty machines and was successful in destroying two of them. In the evening he again attacked an enemy formation with great dash, destroying one machine and forcing two others to collide, resulting in their destruction.
Supplement to the London Gazette, 3 August 1918 (30827/9198)
Distinguished Service Order (DSO)
Lieut. (T./Capt.) Andrew Weatherby Beauchamp-Proctor, M.C., D.F.C.
A fighting pilot of great skill, and a splendid leader. He rendered brilliant service on the 22nd August, when his Flight was detailed to neutralise hostile balloons. Having shot down one balloon in flames, he attacked the occupants of five others in succession with machine-gun fire, compelling the occupants in each case to take to parachutes. He then drove down another balloon to within fifty feet of the ground, when it burst into flames. In all he has accounted for thirty-three enemy machines and seven balloons.
Supplement to the London Gazette, 2 November 1918 (30989/12959)
Victoria Cross (VC)
Lieut. (A./Capt.) Andrew Weatherby Beauchamp-Proctor, D.S.O., M.C., D.F.C., No. 84 Sqn., R.A. Force.
Between August 8th, 1918, and October 8th, 1918, this officer proved himself victor in twenty-six decisive combats, destroying twelve enemy kite balloons, ten enemy aircraft, and driving down four other enemy aircraft completely out of control.
Between October 1st, 1918, and October 5th, 1918, he destroyed two enemy scouts, burnt three enemy kite balloons, and drove down one enemy scout completely out of control.
On October 1st, 1918, in a general engagement with about twenty-eight machines, he crashed one Fokker biplane near Fontaine and a second near Ramicourt; on October 2nd he burnt a hostile balloon near Selvjgny; on October 3rd he drove down, completely out of control, an enemy scout near Mont d'Origny, and burnt a hostile balloon; on October 5th, the third hostile balloon near Bohain.
On October 8th, 1918, while flying home at a low altitude, after destroying an enemy two-seater near Maretz, he was painfully wounded in the arm by machine-gun fire, but, continuing, he landed safely at his-aerodrome, and after making his report was admitted to hospital.
In all he has proved himself conqueror over fifty-four foes, destroying twenty-two enemy machines, sixteen enemy kite balloons, and driving down sixteen enemy aircraft completely out of control.
Captain Beauchamp-Proctor's work in attacking enemy troops on the ground and in reconnaissance during the withdrawal following on the Battle of St. Quentin from March 21st, 1918, and during the victorious advance of our Armies commencing on August 8th, has been almost unsurpassed in its Brilliancy, and. as such has made an impression on those serving in his squadron and those around him that will not be easily forgotten.
Capt. Beauchamp-Proctor was awarded Military Cross on 22nd June, 1918; D.F. Cross on 2nd July, 1918; Bar to M.C. on 16th September, 1918; and Distinguished Service Order on 2nd November, 1918.

US unemployment claims jump to 965,000 as virus takes toll
by: CHRISTOPHER RUGABER, Associated Press
Posted: Jan 14, 2021 / 08:48 AM GMT-0500 / Updated: Jan 14, 2021 / 11:32 AM GMT-0500

WASHINGTON (AP) — The number of people seeking unemployment aid soared last week to 965,000, the most since late August and a sign that the resurgent virus has likely escalated layoffs.
The latest figures for jobless claims, issued Thursday by the Labor Department, remain at levels never seen until the virus struck. Before the pandemic, weekly applications typically numbered around 225,000. They spiked to nearly 7 million last spring, after nationwide shutdowns took effect. Applications declined over the summer but have been stuck above 700,000 since September.
The high pace of layoffs coincides with an economy that has faltered as consumers have avoided traveling, shopping and eating out in the face of soaring viral caseloads. More than 4,300 deaths were reported Tuesday, another record high. Shutdowns of restaurants, bars and other venues where people gather in California, New York and other states have likely forced up layoffs.
Some states and cities are resisting shutdowns, partly out of fear of the economic consequences but raising the risk of further infections. Minnesota allowed in-person dining to resume this week. Michigan is poised to do the same. Some bars and restaurants in Kansas City are extending their hours.
Economists say that once coronavirus vaccines are more widely distributed, a broader recovery should take hold in the second half of the year. The incoming Biden administration, along with a now fully Democratic-led House and Senate, is also expected to push more rescue aid and spending measures that could accelerate growth.
Yet many analysts also worry that with millions of Americans still unemployed and as many as one in six small companies going out of business, people who have been hurt most by the downturn won't likely benefit from a recovery anytime soon.
"While prospects for the economy later in 2021 are upbeat, the labor market recovery has taken a step backward," said Nancy Vanden Houten, an economist at Oxford Economics, "and we expect claims to remain elevated, with the risk that they rise from last week's levels."
Last week's applications for aid might have been elevated in part because state employment offices had been closed over the holidays, requiring some jobless people to wait until last week to apply. The addition of a $300-a-week federal unemployment benefit, as part of a rescue aid package enacted late last month, may have also encouraged more people to apply, Vanden Houten said.
Many people in the arts and entertainment fields have lost most or all of their incomes as the coronavirus has shut down performance venues. They include Shelby Lewis, a classical trumpet player in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, who hasn't performed since early March, when he played Bach with a Kansas City musical chamber.
Lewis, 48, is receiving $400 in weekly unemployment aid, including the new $300 federal benefit, and his wife is still working. He appreciates the federal aid, which freelance musicians like him haven't been eligible for in the past.
Fearful, though, that many classical music groups will permanently close, Lewis is shifting his career back to photography and design, which he did for a decade before becoming a full-time musician.
"I think there is generally going to be a decline for small regional orchestras," he said.
In addition to last week's first-time applications for unemployment aid, the government said Thursday that 5.3 million Americans are continuing to receive state jobless benefits, up from 5.1 million in the previous week. It suggests that fewer people who are out of work are finding jobs.
About 11.6 million people received jobless aid from two federal programs in the week that ended Dec. 26, the latest period for which data is available. One of those programs provides extended benefits to people who have exhausted their state aid. The other supplies benefits to self-employed and contract workers.
Those two programs had expired near the end of December. They were belatedly renewed, through mid-March, in the $900 billion rescue aid package that Congress approved and President Donald Trump signed into law. That legislation also included $600 relief checks for most adults and a supplemental unemployment benefit payment of $300 a week. Congressional Democrats favor boosting the checks to $2,000 and extending federal aid beyond March, as does President-elect Joe Biden.
The U.S. job market's weakness was made painfully clear in the December employment report that the government issued last week. Employers shed jobs for the first time since April as the pandemic tightened its grip on consumers and businesses.
The figures also depicted a sharply uneven job market: The losses last month were concentrated among restaurants, bars, hotels and entertainment venues — places that provide in-person services that some governments have restricted or that consumers are avoiding. Educational services, mostly colleges and universities, also cut workers in December. So did film and music studios.
Most other large industries, though, reported job gains. Many economists had expected last spring that job losses would spread to more industries. Though all sectors of the economy initially laid off workers, most of them have avoided deep job cuts. Manufacturing, construction, and professional services like engineering and architecture, for example, all added jobs in December.
At the same time, many companies seem reluctant to sharply ramp up hiring. A government report Tuesday showed that employers advertised fewer open jobs in November than in October. The decline, while small, was widespread across most industries. Even now, the nation has nearly 10 million fewer jobs than it did before the pandemic sent the economy into a deep recession nearly a year ago, having recovered just 56% of the jobs lost in the spring.
Those job losses have fallen disproportionately on women, who are more likely to work in the affected industries. They are also more likely to have quit jobs to stay home and care for children, many of whom are engaged in online schooling.

Q: Python And Date Formats I have an inherited wxPython application. To my mind it needs a degree of tidying as dates can appear in slightly different formats. An example piece of code is shown below (I have added the 'print' statements:-
formattedDate = str(Date.tm_year) + '-' + str(Date.tm_mon) + '-' + str(Date.tm_mday)
print 'formattedDate is >', formattedDate, '<'
today  = time.strftime('%Y-%m-%d')
print 'Today is >', today, '<'

which gives an output of:-
formattedDate is > 2015-8-14 <
Today is > 2015-08-14 <

The formattedDate is based on user input and is a patient's DateOfBirth (added to database). What is puzzling me is why the month is a single digit in one case and two digits in the other. I have gone through my Python books and trawled the net but been unable to find an answer.

A: Ass Date is of type - time.struct_time . This is because Date.tm_mon returns the integer representation of the month (of type int) and when you convert it to str manually you get the amount of digits it has.
An Example -
>>> t = time.strptime('2015-8-10','%Y-%m-%d')
>>> t
time.struct_time(tm_year=2015, tm_mon=8, tm_mday=10, tm_hour=0, tm_min=0, tm_sec=0, tm_wday=0, tm_yday=222, tm_isdst=-1)
>>> t.tm_mon
8
>>> type(t.tm_mon)
<class 'int'>
>>> str(t.tm_mon)
'8'

When you use strftime() with the format %m , python correctly formats the month to always be 2 digits, as documented -

%m   -  Month as a decimal number [01,12].

Example -
>>> time.strftime('%m')
'08'

I would always recommnd you to use strftime() to format the date as string, and not create them manually. To format a time.struct_time object using strftime() you pass the time.struct_time object as second argument to strtime() , Example -
>>> time.strftime('%Y/%m/%d',t)
'2015/08/10'

A: All is ok, acording to documentation:
print time.strftime shows 2 digits
%m  Month as a decimal number [01,12].
And Date.tm_mon - looks like it is custom class/field and it shows one digit value. Check what is Date.tm_mon and how it stores value, maybe it truncates zero

A: Date.tm_mon is probably an integer and str(8) would print a single digit (no leading zero).
On the other hand %m in time.strftime('%Y-%m-%d') always outputs 2 digit month (documentation).

Biografia
È stato membro del Parlamento finlandese dal 1983 al 2003. Dal 1990 al 2002 è stato presidente del Partito di Centro Finlandese, uno dei tre maggiori partiti politici finlandesi. Inoltre Aho è stato primo ministro dei governi di centro-destra (Partito di Centro, Partito di Coalizione Nazionale, Democratici Cristiani e Partito Popolare Svedese) dal 1991 al 1995. Membro del Club di Madrid, nel 1991, al tempo della nomina a Primo Ministro, era il più giovane capo di governo in Europa.

In particolare è ricordato per avere condotto la Finlandia nell'Unione europea. Lo stesso partito di Aho, che ottiene la maggior parte del proprio supporto dalle aree rurali, si oppose all'ingresso nella UE, ma fu convinto grazie alla diplomazia del Primo Ministro.

Il governo di Aho si trovò inoltre a fronteggiare la profonda crisi economica dell'inizio degli anni novanta. La rigorosa politica di tagli e risparmi e i piani per la riduzione della disoccupazione resero il governo impopolare, impopolarità che fu in parte causa della caduta dello stesso nelle elezioni del 1995 e della permanenza del Partito di Centro all'opposizione per otto anni.

Nel 2000, Esko Aho perse la corsa alla presidenza della Finlandia in favore di Tarja Halonen. Dopo la sconfitta si ritirò dalla politica attiva, inizialmente per spendere un anno sabbatico alla Università Harvard come docente. Nelle elezioni del 2003 lasciò il parlamento e si ritirò dall'impegno politico. Attualmente è presidente del SITRA, il fondo nazionale finlandese per la ricerca e lo sviluppo. Nell'agosto del 2008 Nokia annunciò che Aho avrebbe assunto la carica di responsabile del settore Corporate Relations and Responsibility e sarebbe diventato membro del consiglio di amministrazione della società; Aho ricopre questi incarichi a partire dal 1º gennaio del 2009.

Senior Congress Leader Ahmed Patel Dies At 71
Senior Congress leader Ahmed Patel, who died at a hospital in Gurugram on Wednesday, will be laid to rest at his native village Piraman in Gujarat's Bharuch district, an aide of the leader said.
After getting the news of Patel's demise, some residents of Piraman village, located in Ankleshwar taluka, recalled his contributions towards the development of the place, and some said he was like a "father figure" to them.
Patel had wished to be buried beside his parents near his ancestral house in Piraman village of Bharuch, local Congress leader and Patel's close aide Nazubhai Fadwala said.
Patel, 71, who served as the Congress's backroom strategist for years, died due to multi-organ failure in the early hours of Wednesday. He was suffering from complications related to COVID-19.
The mortal remains of Patel will be brought to the village by evening, and the burial is likely to place on Thursday, Fadwala said, adding that the funeral will be conducted as per the Covid-19 protocols.
"It was Ahmed Bhai's last wish to be laid to rest next to his parent's graves in Piraman. He was very much attached to his village and often visited the place. Agrave is being dug at a cemetery where his parents were buried," he said.
"He was very close to his parents, especially his mother, and he would sit at her grave for long every time he visited Piraman," he said.
A ground was also being cleared for a mass funeral prayer to be conducted with proper social distancing, he said.
Local resident Suleiman Patel said the entire village was sad to know about the Congress leader's demise. "He was like my father. The entire village is grief-stricken," he said.
Another villager Ganeshbhai said he was shocked after hearing the news of Ahmed Patel's demise.
"He was very much attached to his village. He contributed significantly to the development of the village. His death is an irreparable loss to us," he said.

Recently, we made some miso pork stew which is both savory and satisfying. To cut the richness, we made a tangy salad to go with it.
The dish went really well with rice!
Lovely and vibrant looking! What would you liken the taste of miso? I've never tried miso and just wondered..
Thanks Ms Dinie! There are different types of miso – white, yellow, red. The white ones are milder and maybe less salty. It tastes like salty mashed soy beans and is quite pleasant and easily adaptable. There are also stronger miso and sweeter ones too used in different dishes.
Thank you! I may purchase some soon!


A study of more than 81,000 women found those with the highest intake of vitamin D from food sources had a significantly lower prevalence of depressive symptoms.
The researchers suggested that vitamin D may affect the function of dopamine and norepinephrine.
These are neurotransmitters that are likely involved in depression, while also modulating the relationship between depression and inflammation.
This adds to growing evidence showing that if you're suffering from depression one of the best choices you can make is to spend as much time outdoors in the sun as possible.
Sun exposure is by far the best way to optimize your levels of vitamin D.
This is particularly useful to know as Daylight Savings Time is now over for most and will not having access to enough sunshine to make vitamin D until spring.
In the current study, researchers found that intake of more than 400 IU of vitamin D from food sources was associated with a 20 percent lower risk of depressive symptoms compared with intake of less than 100 IU. This was a significant benefit from a very small amount of vitamin D -- as 400 IU is far too low to benefit most people (not to mention your body is made to get vitamin D primarily from the sun, not food or supplements, as I'll explain below).
It now appears as though most adults need about 8,000 IU's of vitamin D a day in order to get their serum levels above 40 ng/ml, which is the lowest they should be. Ideally your serum levels should be between 50-70 ng/ml, and up to 100 ng/ml to treat cancer and heart disease.
It's likely that vitamin D fights depression via several pathways, not only directly in your brain but also via inflammation. Vitamin D receptors have been identified throughout the human body, and that includes in your brain. Researchers have located metabolic pathways for vitamin D in the hippocampus and cerebellum of the brain, areas that are involved in planning, processing of information, and the formation of new memories.
Sufficient vitamin D is also imperative for proper functioning of your immune system to combat inflammation, and other research has discovered that depressed people tend to have higher levels of inflammation in their brains.
The researchers mentioned above noted that studies have shown only about 30 percent of Americans' circulating 25(OH)D (vitamin D) is the product of sunlight exposure. This is an unfortunate byproduct of public health agencies' misguided advice to stay out of the sun to avoid cancer (when in fact vitamin D from sun exposure will prevent cancer). The truth is, vitamin D from sun exposure is the BEST way to optimize your vitamin D levels, and a recent interview with Dr. Stephanie Seneff brought the importance of getting your vitamin D from sun exposure to a whole new level.
I've consistently recommended getting your vitamin D from regular sun exposure whenever possible, and Dr. Seneff's review of how vitamin D—specifically from sun exposure—is intricately tied to healthy cholesterol and sulfur levels, makes this recommendation all the more important.
As a quick summary, when you expose your skin to sunshine, your skin synthesizes vitamin D3 sulfate. This form of vitamin D is water soluble, unlike oral vitamin D3 supplements, which is unsulfated. The water-soluble form can travel freely in your bloodstream, whereas the unsulfated form needs LDL (the so-called "bad" cholesterol) as a vehicle of transport. Her suspicion is that the oral non-sulfated form of vitamin D may not provide all of the same benefits as the vitamin D created in your skin from sun exposure, because it cannot be converted to vitamin D sulfate.
I believe this is a very compelling reason to really make a concerted effort to get most of your vitamin D requirements from exposure to sunshine, or by using a safe tanning bed (one with electronic ballasts rather than magnetic ballasts, to avoid unnecessary exposure to EMF fields). Safe tanning beds also have less of the dangerous UVA than sunlight, while unsafe ones have more UVA than sunlight. If neither of these are feasible options, then you should take an oral vitamin D3 supplement.
It is very difficult to get enough vitamin D from food sources alone, as very few foods naturally contain vitamin D, and those that do will not contain enough to optimize your levels. Interestingly, the only vitamin not found in breast milk is vitamin D.
Consider this a giant clue that we were NOT designed to strictly swallow vitamin D. We were designed to produce it by exposing our skin to natural sunlight. Lack of sun exposure is really the very root of the problem, as vitamin D deficiency, which is now at epidemic levels, is a fairly recent health concern, historically speaking.
Depression is often found alongside gastrointestinal inflammations and autoimmune diseases as well as with cardiovascular diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, type 2-diabetes and also cancer, in which chronic low-grade inflammation is a significant contributing factor. Researchers have suggested "depression may be a neuropsychiatric manifestation of a chronic inflammatory syndrome."
Vitamin D deficiency is associated with increased inflammation in otherwise healthy people, and increased concentrations of serum TNF-alpha, an inflammatory marker, were found in women who had insufficient vitamin D levels.
What this all boils down to is that chronic inflammation in your body disrupts the normal functioning of many bodily systems, and can wreak havoc on your brain and possibly cause depressive symptoms.
This is one more route by which vitamin D is important for your mood and brain health, as vitamin D will help reduce systemic inflammation. Vitamin D deficiency is actually more the norm than the exception, and this can impact far more than your mental health. Optimizing your vitamin D levels could help you to prevent at least 16 different types of cancer, along with heart disease, diabetes, Alzheimer's, the flu and much, much more.
There are many reasons why they don't work the way most people think they work, or want them to work.
Chronic stress does not cause the same molecular changes that depression does, but most antidepressants are based on the hypothesis that stress causes depression. The hypothesis appears to be incorrect, which means the drugs are virtually worthless.
An imbalance in neurotransmitters in your brain may not trigger depressive symptoms as has long been thought. Instead, the biochemical events that lead to depression appear to start in the development and functioning of neurons. This means antidepressants focus on the effect of depression, and completely miss the cause.
"More than half the people who take antidepressants for depression never get relief. Why?
Because the cause of depression has been oversimplified and drugs designed to treat it aim at the wrong target, according to new research from the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. The medications are like arrows shot at the outer rings of a bull's eye instead of the center.
A study from the laboratory of long-time depression researcher Eva Redei... appears to topple two strongly held beliefs about depression. One is that stressful life events are a major cause of depression. The other is that an imbalance in neurotransmitters in the brain triggers depressive symptoms.
Redei, the David Lawrence Stein Professor of Psychiatry at Northwestern's Feinberg School, found powerful molecular evidence that quashes the long-held dogma that stress is generally a major cause of depression. Her new research reveals that there is almost no overlap between stress-related genes and depression-related genes.
… [A]nother reason current antidepressants are often ineffective is that they aim to boost neurotransmitters based on the popular molecular explanation of depression, which is that it's the result of decreased levels of the neurotransmitters serotonin, norepinephrine and dopamine.
But that's wrong, Redei said. In the second part of the study, Redei found strong indications that depression actually begins further up in the chain of events in the brain. The biochemical events that ultimately result in depression actually start in the development and functioning of neurons.
Heart disease and Sudden cardiac death: Brand new research reported at a New Orleans meeting of the American College of Cardiology found that antidepressants increase your risk of heart disease by causing your artery walls to thicken. The exact biological mechanism is still unknown. A literature review of studies from 2000-2007, published in Expert Opinion on Drug Safety in 2008, found that "Antipsychotics can increase cardiac risk even at low doses, whereas antidepressants do it generally at high doses or in the setting of drug combinations." Another study published in January 2009 in the New England Journal of Medicine also found that antipsychotic drugs doubled the risk of sudden cardiac death. Mortality was found to be dose-dependent, so those taking higher doses were at increased risk of a lethal cardiac event.
When you're talking about antipsychotics, which are meant for more severe mental illness such as schizophrenia, the risks can be even more severe, depending on the drug. For example, a recent study published in JAMA discovered that contrary to what we've previously thought, schizophrenia itself does not alter your brain mass.
If you're given a prescription for an antipsychotic, and you're not actually schizophrenic, wouldn't you want to know about this potentially devastating side effect?
My clinical experience leads me to believe that the only appropriate use of these dangerous medications is as a last ditch effort when the patient is at a serious risk to themselves or others. The drugs should be continued until the condition is under control and they are out of harm's way.
This is a very similar strategy to the way you would employ by going to the ER and orthopedic surgeon for a cast when you are in an accident and fracture a major bone. You don't use that cast the rest of your life. You use it until your bone is healed.
Avoiding sugar and fructose: Sugar (including fructose) also has a seriously detrimental impact on your brain function. There's a great book on this subject, The Sugar Blues, written by William Dufty more than 30 years ago, that delves into this topic in great detail.
Increasing high quality animal-based omega-3 fats: Your brain consists of about 60 percent fat, DHA specifically, so you need a constant input of essential animal-based omega-3 fats like krill oil for your brain to work properly.
Addressing emotional stress: If you've followed my articles even a little while, you know that I highly recommend taking an active role in your emotional health. This includes engaging in stress-relief modalities that appeal to you and are effective, like exercise, massage, journaling, guided imagery and more.
Depression is often a serious, even life threatening, condition, and I do not recommend that you self-treat. Instead, find a health care practitioner who can guide you through natural treatment options, providing holistic emotional and physical support so you can heal at the deepest level.
You can become a participant in the still ongoing Grassroots Health D*Action study, which is evaluating vitamin D's impact on your overall health status.
You may want to consider joining this study not only because you'll be helping to create awareness about the profound importance of vitamin D for optimal health, but also because it's an ideal way to test and monitor your own vitamin D levels, which is highly recommended.

Many Hungarian journalists write freely without fear of persecution. But Hungary has come under ongoing criticism from various press freedom advocates. (Photos Peter Teffer)
When the European Parliament's Civil Liberties Committee called last week for Europe to regularly investigate journalist freedom across the EU, it didn't name any particular country to watch. But if there has been one European nation that has been criticized for changing its media laws in the past years, it's Hungary.

WHAT CONSTITUTES "IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST?"
by Montgomery Blair Sibley, ©2014, blogging at Amo Probos
(May 1, 2014) — On May 15, 2014, the U.S. Supreme Court will consider Doug Vogt's Petition for Certiorari at their regularly scheduled conference. The question that Doug's Petition presents is seminal to the operation of our Federal System which envisions four branches of government: (i) Executive, (ii) Legislative, (iii) Judicial and (iv) the Federal Grand Jury. Indeed, none other than Justice Scalia in U.S. v. Williams, 504 U.S. 36, 47 (1992) recognized:
Rooted in long centuries of Anglo-American history, the grand jury is mentioned in the Bill of Rights, but not in the body of the Constitution. It has not been textually assigned, therefore, to any of the branches described in the first three Articles. It "is a constitutional fixture in its own right." In fact the whole theory of its function is that it belongs to no branch of the institutional Government, serving as a kind of buffer or referee between the Government and the people. (Citations omitted).
As all should know, the Federal Grand Jury is made up of 23 citizens who sit for 18 months to hear evidence of criminal behavior and — if 12 agree — issue an indictment or presentment for prosecution by the U.S. Attorney. This bar to criminal prosecution is contained in the Fifth Amendment which states in part: "No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury".
But the Constitution is silent on the issue of how the Grand Jury is to learn of crimes to investigate. The common law which preceded the formation of our Republic was clear on this issue. As stated in 1895, by Justice Brewer in Frisbie v. United States, 157 U.S. 160, 163 (1895): "[I]n this country the common practice is for the Grand Jury to investigate any alleged crime, no matter how or by whom suggested to them, and after determining that the evidence is sufficient to justify putting the party suspected on trial, to direct the preparation of the formal charge or indictment."
However, as part of the gradual usurping of the power of the People, the federal government has — since 1946 — slowly quarantined the Grand Jury from investigating crimes by limiting access to the Grand Jury to only U.S. Attorneys. Indeed, as Supreme Court Justice William Douglas wrote in 1973, it is: "common knowledge that the Grand Jury, having been conceived as a bulwark between the citizen and the Government, is now a tool of the Executive." United States v. Dioniso, 410 U.S. 19, 23 (1973)(Douglas, J., dissenting).
Painfully aware of this seminal transformation of the balance of power in our federal system, I embarked several years ago on a process of documenting this usurpation which will come to completion on May 15, 2014, when the Supreme Court decides Doug Vogt's case.
Besides through the U.S. Attorney, there are two other avenues to submit evidence of criminal behavior to the Grand Jury. First is" 18 U.S.C. §3332 which obligates the U.S. Attorney upon: "receiving information concerning such an alleged offense from any other person shall, if requested by such other person, inform the grand jury of such alleged offense, the identity of such other person, and such attorney's action or recommendation." Congress left no discretion in the U.S. Attorney to refuse to present such "information".
Yet, in Sibley v. Obama et al, Case No: 12-cv-001 (D.C. Dist. Ct. 2012); summarily affirmed, Case No.: 12-5198 (D.C. Cir. 2012); cert. den., U.S. S. Ct. Case No.: 12-736 (2013) the district court held: "The Court will deny the mandamus request, in keeping with prior decisions that 18 U.S.C. §3332 cannot be enforced by private individuals." Thus, while Congress under §3332(a), obligated the U.S. Attorney to "inform the grand jury of such alleged offense" when requested by a Citizen, the U.S. Attorney can now ignore that mandatory obligation to "inform" with impunity as there is no right to enforce §3332(a) by one who seeks to invokes it.
Second, Congress enacted Federal Rules Criminal Procedure, Rule 6(a) which states: "When the public interest so requires, the court must order that one or more grand juries be summoned." But what is exactly meant by the term "public interest"? That legal-term-of-art has never been judicially defined. Hence, Doug Vogt's Petition which seeks such definition is a case of "First Impression" for the Supreme Court.
If the Supreme Court on May 15, 2014, refuses to define "public interest" it would then sanction the use of legal indeterminacy in legal-terms-of-art and thus permit the unregulated and un-reviewable exercise of brute federal Judicial and Executive power employed to assault the fundamentals of the rule of law to the end of creating a 21st Century federal Volksgebundenheit and Artgleichheit. Stated simply, if "public interest" can mean anything at any time, then there is no rule of law, only the rule of whim and caprice exercised to advance institutional objectives rather than protect individual rights.
In Doug Vogt's case, the question is whether the U.S. Attorney and the Judiciary — by (i) denying enforcement of 18 U.S.C. §3332's plain import and and (ii) defining that the overwhelming forensic proof of the Forgery of Obama's birth certificate does not rise to the level of "public interest" — can prevent a grand jury from investigating this most serious of federal crimes — Treason.
I maintain that such was not within the distribution of powers by the People in the Constitution and for the Executive and Judicial branches to so maintain is a breach of that fundamental compact upon which the present federation of states stands.
Accordingly, I maintain with conviction that May 15, 2014, is indeed Judgment Day for this Republic.

I am a member of the newly reconstituted Common Law Jury in NY State. These juries have never been constitutionally dissolved. The year 1946 WAS a pivotal year. That is when errant rulemakers of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure unconstitutionally ruled that said juries were "Obsolete". Of course, they are NOT "Obsolete". The constitutional authority of the People has always continued. It is the duty of "We the People" TO "Enforce" it, even to the point at which a posse duly authorized by "We the People" physically ARREST public officials who are cleary operating outside the parameters of the U.S. Constitution.

May 15th may stand out as 'public interest' judgment day. It is my hope that the effort will be successful. However, all will not be lost come May 16th if this effort fails.
The following 'paste' from the National Liberty Alliance web site may prove to be more significant in the near future:

It's kind of like a smartwatch on your face.

The Ring input device is water resistant.
Text messages are not sent to the Focals, they are sent to North's server and then North's server sends a message to the Focals.

Q: Generate static tiles with current OSM style from PostGIS I'm trying to generate static tiles for Great Britain with the current OSM style. I have populated my PostGIS database from a osm.pbf file from here [1]. I have Mapnik version 3.0.9 installed.
I can generate tiles using the polytiles.py script from [2] but they use the old OSM styles. The polytiles.py script only accepts xml style sheets but the new OSM styles are not xml [3].
Is there another script I can use instead of polytiles.py to do the same thing?

[2] http://svn.openstreetmap.org/applications/rendering/mapnik
[3] https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto.git

A: I got it working using the following steps...

*

*Install Carto with the following command... npm install carto

*Convert the CartoCSS-based stylesheets to XML using carto project.mml > osm.xml

*Pass the new osm.xml file as an argument to polytiles.py.

One of my favourite game systems is Castles & Crusades. Community member and Master GM JohnD shares his thoughts on Castles & Crusades on Fantasy Grounds.
Castles & Crusades (C&C is a ruleset that deserves more attention than it has received here on Fantasy Grounds. The name of the game derives from the Castle & Crusade Society, founded in the pre Dungeons & Dragons era by Gary Gygax. The title is in homage to the role-playing industry's birth. C&C is, in fact, the system that Gary Gygax last worked on prior to his passing, so one can look at it as having had the blessing of the greatest DM of them all. James M. Ward is also involved in some way, along with members of Troll Lord Games.
The C&C rules are d20 based, but with a decided throw back to "old school AD&D". People who are itching to get their old AD&D and 2e campaigns re-imagined and active again in FG will find that their content translates almost effortlessly into the C&C rules (90%+ just rolls straight across with no significant changes). I personally have spent a lot of my time converting portions of the Temple of Elemental Evil super module into C&C and they style of "old school" has been extremely easy to maintain.
There are some deviations from what an AD&D or 2e player would expect. AC goes up not down, as in the d20 system. Saving throws are based on attribute stats, modified by character level and the level of the creature/attack being saved against. This means there are no "throw away" stats.
Skills are also based on attribute checks, potentially modified by character level and the level of the challenge being faced. This is where the SIEGE Engine comes in and works on an attribute check system. Attributes are divided into primary and secondary attributes. Primary attributes have a base chance to succeed of 12 while secondary attributes have a base chance to succeed of 18. The game's referee, the Castle Keeper, adds a challenge level to the base and the resulting number, the challenge class, is the target number required to succeed at a check. The player adds the character's level, any attribute bonuses and class bonuses to the roll. If the result after bonuses equals or exceeds the challenge class, the player succeeds. Except for combat, the SIEGE Engine is desired for use for anything that requires a check in the game.
This might sound complicated but, in practice, the CK has this figured out in under five seconds in most cases.
Combat in C&C within FG is extremely quick and easy. There are no interminable rounds which take the whole evening while all the competing and countering feats, special abilities and actions are all figured out. It is quite easy as a CK to run a large group of players in a C&C game within FG. My current Greyhawk campaign has nine full-time players and two part-time.
Anyone who wants to capture that old style gaming from their youth, and perhaps is balking at the 5E costs, should look at Castles & Crusades in FG – for just $10 you get everything you need to run or play in a game. For value this ruleset can't be beat… same goes for the fun you'll have playing in a game!
Anyone who wants to know more about the C&C ruleset in FG should feel welcome to PM JohnD on the message boards.

Social Justice. When do we as a church take a stand? Is it only when a person's salvation is at stake? What about when a person or group of persons are being treated without fairness or equality? At what point do the lines of spiritual intervention and social activism merge?
Ellen G. White, listed among the "100 Most Significant Americans of All Time" by Smithsonian magazine, was a leader in many social issues, including antislavery and health reform. The principles of social justice as exemplified by Ellen G. White need to be seen in the Seventh-day Adventist Church of the twenty-first century.
This book, Social Justice, is the work of an ensemble of professional scholars and thought leaders. They each bring a diverse perspective on Ellen G. White's contributions to the social issues of her time—and how her guiding principles still apply to us today.

Q: Is $\sin\left[{\pi \cdot \frac {1}{\sqrt{n^2+1}+n}}\right]$ decreasing? How can I show that
$$\sin\left({\pi \cdot \frac {1}{\sqrt{n^2+1}+n}}\right)$$ is decreasing for $n>1$? I think I have to show that the expression from inside the $\sin$ expression is between $\pi \over2$ and $\pi$ , but I do not know how. Can you please help me ? Thanks.

A: first show that $\frac{1}{n + \sqrt{n^2 + 1}}$ is decreasing from $\frac{1}{\sqrt 2  +1}$ to $0$ as $n$ goes from $1$ to $\infty$
now $\frac{\pi}{n + \sqrt{n^2+1}}$ decreases from $\frac{\pi}{\sqrt 2 + 1}< \pi/2$ to $0$
the $\sin$ is monotonic in the interval $[0, \pi/2]$ gives you the required result.

A: Hint: the sequence
$$\frac{\pi}{\sqrt{n^2+1}+n}$$
is decreasing and we have
$$0 < \frac{\pi}{\sqrt{n^2+1}+n} < \frac{\pi}{2}$$
for all $n$.

It's a New Year with probably yet another long list of resolutions. But will you actually do them? Or are you the type of person that has the best of intentions and sets goals but can never seem to get started on them, or you half-start them and never find the time or motivation to finish them? Well don't worry, you're not alone! We all suffer from procrastination at some point in our life. The good news is that there is a cure. Just think "SNOW" and follow these 4 steps: STEP 1: STOP The reason you procrastinate is because the emotional force or feeling isn't strong enough to propel you to take action forward. A positive feeling is being counteracted by a negative feeling, making you feel neutral, unmotivated and leaving you sitting on the fence. The problem comes when we feel guilty about it. This adds to the emotional hot pot! So the first step is to simply STOP rather than struggle. STEP 2: NOTICE Be observant. What is it that you're actually avoiding? What is driving the negative emotion or feeling for the activity at hand? What are you afraid might happen? Writers are notorious procrastinators. With good intentions they'll sit down in front of the key board, but will quickly become distracted by the pile of washing in the corner, that layer of dust on the shelves and those dishes that need washing. For writers, usually it's the fear of not writing anything readable that stops them from writing at all. This is the counter-force. Notice what your counter-force is. STEP 3: ORDER When you bring order into a situation, it is incredible how it can make things feel a little simpler. So the best thing to do is to is take out a piece of paper and simply write a list of all the steps involved. The secret is to break them down into really detailed small steps (e.g., take the file off the shelf, place it on the table, open it to page 10, etc.). You'll find yourself whizzing through your list and it's this momentum that carries you through the rest of the task. STEP 4: WHISTLE Yes, you read correctly. Once you've written your list, simply take the first step and whistle while you work. Try it doing it now without smiling! You'll notice that it quickly shifts your mood and makes you realize how ridiculous you're being. It'll help you take that all important first step, and then motivate you to move on to the next one. By taking small steps forward, before you know it you'll have finished completely. And what's more, you would have done it with a smile on your face too! Finally, don't let procrastination hold you back from reaching your goals and highest potential this year.

The yearly race of traditional dhow boats across the Gulf.
This long distance traditional 60ft dhow racing contest is the last event of the watersports season at Dubai International Marine Club.
The race, which was designed to commemorate pearl divers who were integral to the early trading port of Dubai, started at the small uninhabited island of Sur Bu Na'air, 50 nautical miles west of the UAE. Starting with 53 dhows that are each 43 feet long, at the time of the first competition in 1991, the race has grown into a major sporting event today featuring around 100 traditional boats (60 feet), and has challenged more than 3,000 participants sailing the waters of the Gulf.
The dhows today are in pristine conditions with beautifully polished hulls and crisp sails but still retain the traditions of the past with strict rules in place to maintain the heritage. Al Gaffal will start at Sur Bu Na'air Island at 7am and finish at Mina Seyahi.


The Cook County Chamber of Commerce is searching for options to reduce the local tourism industry's reliance on seasonal foreign worker visas.
The concern is that, given the national climate regarding immigrants, the H-2B temporary worker visas on which many tourism businesses in Cook County rely is "so politically vulnerable," said Chamber Executive Director Jim Boyd.
"While it's great the employers this year got the workers they needed through H-2B, at least the large employers, it feels good that we're trying at least to take our fate into our own hands to some degree and not be so totally dependent on the political whims in Washington — are they going to like the program this year, are they going to hate it? We're trying to be masters of our own fate," Boyd said.

US lawyer Avenatti won't face felony domestic violence charges

Los Angeles (AFP) - Michael Avenatti, the lawyer who represented an adult film star engaged in a legal battle with Donald Trump, will not face felony domestic violence charges, a spokesman said Friday.
"Although we decline to file charges at this time, this matter remains open and we may file charges at any time prior to the expiration of the statute of limitations," Los Angeles prosecutor spokesman Frank Mateljan said.
Avenatti had denied any wrongdoing.
The lawyer has been a thorn in the side of the US president as the attorney for Stormy Daniels, who is suing Trump to invalidate a non-disclosure agreement made days before the 2016 presidential election over an alleged sexual encounter she had with him.
Rumors swirled for months over the prospect of Avenatti launching a presidential bid in 2020, when Trump will seek reelection. But in December, Avenatti said he would not be a candidate.
In addition to Daniels, Avenatti's clients have included Julie Swetnick, who said she witnessed sexually abusive behavior by Brett Kavanaugh, the US Supreme Court justice whose volatile confirmation process was marked by multiple accusations of sexual assault when he was in high school and college.

Journey of a Carving Enthusiast
Hands Of Time
2013 marks the 90th Anniversary of the silent film masterpiece Safety Last. The film offers arguably the most iconic image from the silent film era: Harold Lloyd clinging from a building clock over downtown Los Angeles.
Known as the "Third Genius" (behind Chaplin & Keaton), Harold Lloyd played a prototypical "everyman" character. In Safety Last, Lloyd is a small-town country boy striving for success in the big city. He finds a job as a department store clerk and comes up with the idea to climb the building edifice as a publicity stunt. Lloyd was inspired a year earlier by seeing a stuntman climb a towering building in Downtown Los Angeles.
During production, a fake building structure was constructed over another building's rooftop. The camera was positioned across the street at an angle to make it look as if Lloyd were hundreds of feet in the air. In truth, he was only seven stories high.
When Lloyd first tested the safety precautions for the stunt, he dropped a dummy onto the mattress below the clock. The dummy bounced off the mattress and plummeted to the downtown street. When writer and producer Hal Roach saw this happen, he urged Lloyd to use a stuntman. Like Chaplin and Keaton, Lloyd insisted on doing most of how own stunts. What made the Clock Stunt more amazing was the fact that Lloyd only had 8 fingers. He'd lost a thumb and a forefinger on the short film Haunted Spooks four years earlier when a prop bomb exploded in his hand. Lloyd subsequently wore a light glove with prosthetic fingers and performed his stunt work with only one complete hand.
Lloyd called his special brand of films "thrill comedies." Safety Last broke box office records upon it's release in 1923. Years later, actor Jackie Chan acknowledged a creative debt to Harold Lloyd in his own action comedies which perfected the "thrill comedy" format.
Lloyd married his on-screen co-star Mildred Davis in 1923. A year later he started his own production company at a location that now houses the Los Angeles Mormon Temple in Westwood. Like Buster Keaton, Harold Lloyd's popularity waned with the advent of talkies.
In 1947, Lloyd tried to recreate his "thrill comedy" magic in the film The Sin Of Harold Diddleback. Directed by Preston Sturges and produced by Howard Hughes, the film includes a scene where Lloyd is stranded on a building ledge with a full-grown lion. The film received negative reviews and did poorly at the box office. This would be Harold Lloyd's last film.
After retiring, Lloyd became known for his nude photos of models & strippers. His subjects included Bettie Page and Marilyn Monroe. (6" x 7", black ink print)
