Gosh, I feel a lot like Edward R. Murrow, looking out above London.
Yes, I am in London—I've checked into the Hilton, wandered through town, ate a late lunch at Covent Gardens, and wandered along the Thames River.
Yes, London, Ontario, has Covent Gardens and the Thames.
Positively Brilliant, if you ask me.
This is the Thames River running through London.
Sr. Amado McLederbein, International Man of Mystery. Is he in London, UK, or London, ONT? The crafty reader is at pain to discern this enigma wrapped in a dilemma skewered by riddle stick. When Sr. Adamo wishes his continent of location to remain a secret, he plants misleading clues on his blog to throw his pursuers off his trail. How does it all square? Perhaps he is an alien being from another dimension who is able to be on two continents (separated by an ocean) at the same time. I wonder whether there is a London in Australia as well.

Q: Bizarre Blazor error: crit: blazor.webassembly.js:1Microsoft.AspNetCore.Components.WebAssembly.Rendering.WebAssemblyRenderer[100] When I build a blazor web app, which I'm publishing to a linux-64 environment, the web app launches, runs briefly (long enough for me to log in successfully) and then fails with the above error.  I have pasted the entire stack trace below- it doesn't seem to shed any light on the situation according to the person responsible for the blazor code.  I say bizarre because my colleagues can all build and publish and run the app without issue using the exact same code I am using.  While this points me at the conclusion that there's something wrong with my machine, there is also a build server exhibiting the same problem, meaning two systems have suffered the same failure, which seems strange to say the least.  We have debugged and found that the failure occurs somewhere outside of our code.  I am using VS 2022 and VS 2019.
Things I have done to remediate the situation (in the order I did them):

*

*Published in other modes (debug remote, release, etc)

*Restarted VS

*Built with VS 2022

*Restarted computer

*Repaired VS 2022, retried the above (except for 2019)

*Repaired VS 2019, rebuilt with VS 2019

*Uninstalled VS 2022, rebuilt with VS 2019

*Uninstalled VS 2019

*Reinstalled VS 2019, rebuilt

*Reinstalled VS 2022, built with VS 2019

*Uninstalled VS 2019

*Reinstalled VS 2019, rebuilt

*Repeated the above on our build environment.

Obviously, none of these made any difference or I wouldn't be here.  I've completely stumped my entire team.  What could I possibly be missing? Where else should I look for errors? I include the entire stack trace below.

A: I discovered the problem.  The commonality on the two systems was the VS 2022 install.  Other build environments hadn't made the switch yet, so they were safe from what I can only assume is a bug.  Ultimately, uninstalling VS 2022 wasn't sufficient, because the culprit was the .NET 6 SDK, which gets installed with VS 2022 but doesn't uninstall along with VS 2022's uninstall.  Once I removed the SDK, everything went back to functioning as normal.
Luckily, the presence of the SDK on a user's computer doesn't make a difference; just because they have .NET 6 installed doesn't change the execution of the binary. The binaries produced by .NET 5 and 6 seem to be slightly different.  I confirmed this with vbindiff, though I confess I don't know what exactly the differences translate to.

A: As for me I tried to publish a Debug build so I can see what exactly the error was. Turned out I couldn't because somehow my workload couldn't publish a Debug build and I had to run:
dotnet workload install wasm-tools

After that, I could publish the Debug build but I couldn't see the error anymore. Afterwards, when publishing Release build, the app runs well!

The Inside Story of How the NFL's Plan for Its 1st Openly Gay Player Fell Apart
Friday 22 November 2013, 12:29 | Blog | Leave a Comment |
The team had decided yes. The player had decided the same. It was set. It was going to happen. An NFL player was going to publicly say he was gay and then play in the NFL.
What happened before that moment showed how parts of the NFL are progressive and ready for change. Then, what happened next showed how the sport is still in some ways fearful of it.
The following account is based on interviews with approximately a dozen people, including team and league officials, current and former players, and gay-rights advocates. Some were directly involved with the discussions that nearly led to the first openly gay NFL player. Further illustrating the intense secrecy, delicacy and fear surrounding the subject, none of the principals wanted to be identified. They also refused to identify the team or the player.
It was early this past spring when a closeted gay player, who was a free agent, reached out to a small group of friends and told them about his sexual orientation. The friends, both current and former players, and others with NFL connections, then contacted a handful of teams to gauge their interest in the player and their comfort with that player talking openly about being gay if they signed him.
A number of teams contacted passed. The player was told they didn't have a need at his position. The player told a recently retired player he believed the teams declined because they feared the attention a gay NFL player would receive from the public and media.
Yet some teams were interested, and one team actually said yes. It wasn't a lukewarm yes or a conditional one. It was a definite yes.
The team expressed that it didn't care if the player was gay and had no issue with him announcing he was gay after signing. The player expected the signing, and subsequent announcement, to happen in June. This would give the team, fans and media a month to adjust to the news before training camp began.
It was during these talks with the team, occurring in late March and early April, that reports surfaced about the possibility of an openly gay player emerging. In effect, word of the impending signing was leaking. I reported a player was strongly considering coming out. My reporting was based on speaking to several NFL players. Word of an openly gay player signing was spreading among a portion of the player base.
Gay-rights advocate and former Baltimore Raven Brendon Ayanbadejo said in April that he believed several gay players might come out. He later backed away from the number of players but stood by his statement that a gay player would soon emerge onto the NFL stage.
Outspoken gay-rights advocate Brendon Ayanbadejo is not as confident as he once was about how soon there will be an openly gay NFL player.
Some months later, it's possible Ayanbadejo may have been right. The feeling now among team officials, as well as current and former players, is that there wasn't just one gay player ready to shed his secret, but multiple ones.
"I don't know how close we are," Ayanbadejo said to Bleacher Report in regard to having an openly gay player. "I just know there are gays in the NFL but their identities remain confidential."
The sources paint a remarkable picture. At least two or three gay players, each unaware of the other, living in different parts of the country, with different sets of friends and agents, each contemplating the same thing: coming out.
That period was, as one gay-rights advocate described it, "the spring of optimism for the NFL and gay rights." There was a feeling that the NFL was on the verge of crossing this significant barrier. There was great excitement. It was going to happen.
Until it didn't.
The question now is: What happened?
In considering possible answers, it's important to know five things.
First: Estimates of how many gay players are in the NFL range widely, but some of them, from people intimately familiar with the league, are far higher than might be assumed by the outside public.
Players and team executives give totals ranging from several dozen to several hundred. (There are about 2,000 players in the league.) One former general manager said he believes the number of gay players is 30-40.
Second: The NFL and union know the identities of some gay players, according to many sources—a gay-rights advocate, a union official and a team official. The league and union learn who these players are from other players and coaches. They keep the identities of these players secret. In some cases, teams do so to protect the players. In many cases, teams learn the identities to avoid signing them as free agents.
Third: The league office backs the idea of an openly gay player, but one high-ranking league official believes the NFL isn't yet ready for one. League executives think football is three to five years away from accepting such a player, according to an NFL source. The league plans to carefully and deliberately make the atmosphere more tolerant and comfortable in the meantime, setting the stage for when that happens.
The NFL actually wants an openly gay player because it would be one of the last barriers broken in the sport and show professional football as a tolerant sport. And not everyone thinks the league needs to wait. Another league-office executive said the NFL is ready now. "We are prepared," he stated. "The league would give the player and his team all the support necessary."
In response to this story the NFL issued a statement saying all players are protected by the NFL's Personal Conduct Policy. A manual given to every player during training camp includes language about violent or threatening behavior between employees inside and outside of the workplace. It includes documents relating to sexual harassment and sexual orientation.
Fourth: Some individual franchises, however, are not as enthusiastic about the prospect as the league office seems to be. Several team officials say the largest obstacle to an openly gay player is the resistance of a significant number of NFL owners and a smaller number of general managers and coaches.
Fifth: Many in the league are fearful of acting or even speaking on this subject. Quite simply, teams remain terrified of signing an openly gay player.
One team official gave an example of why there is such fear. He posed a question: What if a gay player came out in a place like the Dolphins locker room, where there was allegedly severe hazing?
Some stories out of the last NFL combine indicated teams are worried. Nick Kasa, a prospective pro out of the University of Colorado, told ESPN Radio in Denver earlier this year that during interviews with team officials at the combine in Indianapolis: "(Teams) ask you, like, 'Do you have a girlfriend?' 'Are you married?' 'Do you like girls?'" Big-name players like Michigan's Denard Robinson and Michigan State's Le'Veon Bell indicated in radio interviews that they were asked similar questions. The assumption was that the questions were some form of standard operating procedure not tied to the particular interviewees.

Chris Culliver's homophobic remarks in advance of the Super Bowl this year offered a glimpse at the reception an out player might get.
During media day before this past Super Bowl, 49ers defensive back Chris Culliver said, "I don't do the gay guys, man. I don't do that. Got no gay people on the team. They gotta get up outta here if they do. Can't be with that sweet stuff…Can't be…in the locker room, nah. You've gotta come out 10 years later after that."
It's this fear of gays that helps explain why many in the NFL are nervous about addressing the issue on the record. Some sources feel that talking openly about gay issues will label them as being part of the gay-player discussion and harm them in their current positions across the sport.
Still, some players strongly believe an openly gay player would be welcome in an NFL locker room.
"Players, in general, don't care what other players do in the bedroom," Arizona kicker Jay Feely, who is in his 13th season and has been a longtime union representative, told Bleacher Report. "Whether that is being celibate, having an affair, being happily married for 20 years or being gay. No one cares. The only thing they care about is winning games (and getting paid). That's the honest truth.
"This story is not about football or locker rooms but outside factors and agendas that are using football as the carrot to attract attention for their own personal gain."
To others, both in football and out of it, an openly gay NFL player would be a monumental moment, signaling that yet another barrier has fallen not just in sports, but all of society.
This past spring, it seemed imminent that barrier was going to collapse with not one, but two players having found teams that would sign them knowing they would come out.
Along with the initial player discussed in this article, there was a fairly well-known defensive back. He drew interest from at least one AFC team that knew he was gay. Coaches on the team were asked if they were OK with a gay player. They were. Some defensive players were casually queried, according to an official on the team. All of the players asked said it wouldn't be an issue. They were not told the name of the player.
According to the team, the potential deal collapsed when the player wanted too much money. If that was the case—and there is doubt about that among gay-rights advocates—it stands apart from everything else league insiders are saying about an NFL which they know includes many gay players and not a single one who will publicly acknowledge he's gay.
The first player, the one who expected to sign in June, heard in mid-to-late May from the interested team that it would no longer be signing him, officials from other teams told Bleacher Report. The player was told the reason why was fear of intense media coverage.
It was at the end of April that NBA player Jason Collins wrote a first-person story forSports Illustrated in which he stated he was gay. The story became one of the most discussed in recent sports history.

Did the media attention Jason Collins received scare off NFL teams thinking of signing a gay player? Collins has not been signed by an NBA team.
The NFL player told a former teammate he believes the Collins story, and others about gay athletes around that time, caused the team to withdraw its offer. It was afraid of the attention. Now, six months and countless injuries to active players later, neither he nor the other player has signed with a team.
While being afraid to sign an openly gay player smacks of cowardice—the Dodgers signed Jackie Robinson knowing there would be not only disapproval but possibly violence directed against the club—it remains a fact teams fear almost any type of controversy. And this would be one of the more talked about stories ever.
So after lots of talk of a gay NFL player coming out, the talk disappeared. Because NFL teams, in the end, got cold feet. It's that simple.
The sport still isn't quite ready for an openly gay NFL player.
All sources close to the players were asked one question repeatedly: Why don't the players just come out?
The answer was the same—fear. If they come out before signing, they won't get signed. While the players want to help push change, they also want to play football. Some will point to how Collins remains unemployed post-announcement.
The other problem is the league itself. It has, at times, moved extraordinarily slow on this issue. One gay-rights advocate who has had extensive dealings with the NFL said the league is trying to do the right thing but "it's like changing the course of a cruise ship."
Go back to an important fact. At least one league official believes pro football is three to five years away from a gay player coming out. Thus we're seeing the S.S. NFL turning hard to starboard toward a gay player coming out, but turning ever so slowly.
It will happen. It's just a question of when.
The two likeliest scenarios remain true. The first is what happened with the NBA's Collins could happen in the NFL. A player toward the end of his career comes out while a free agent or just after signing with a team.
The other possibility is a high-profile player in college is openly gay and has discussed this in media interviews for years. By the time he's picked high in the NFL draft, his sexuality has been so discussed and analyzed that no one cares.
And that is the goal. Reach a day when no one will care.

Allievo di Antonio Banfi e di Enzo Paci, Neri rappresenta una delle ultime sintesi della Scuola di Milano, di cui riprende alcuni dei temi portanti: ricerca fenomenologica, analisi storico-politica, studi estetici.

Rispetto ai suoi maestri, del cui pensiero è stato uno dei maggiori interpreti, Neri sviluppa un percorso di ricerca originale, caratterizzato da una critica delle ideologie del Novecento e dei loro fallimenti, e da una lettura non dogmatica della storia contemporanea, volta a metterne in luce discontinuità e aporie. Forte di un'indole scettica e fedele al principio dell'epoché fenomenologica, Neri ha ripercorso le vicende della dialettica marxista, focalizzando in particolare la sua attenzione sull'Europa centro-orientale, e sulle varie forme di controcondotta e dissenso che, a partire dagli anni sessanta, sono andati germinando in quel contesto storico. I suoi autori di riferimento – Husserl e Merleau-Ponty, Bloch e Lukács, Kosík e Kołakowski – rivelano la tensione intellettuale tra ricerca teoretica e storica che ha caratterizzato il lavoro di Neri, dalle principali monografie, ai saggi su aut aut e Il filo rosso, fino al materiale inedito conservato presso l'Archivio Neri, da pochi anni istituito presso l'Università degli Studi di Milano.

Biografia
Durante gli anni universitari, trascorsi tra Pavia e Milano, Neri ha l'occasione di frequentare gli ultimi corsi di Antonio Banfi, ormai lontano dalla fenomenologia e intento a perfezionare (e radicalizzare) il suo umanesimo di stampo marxista, e dell'ancor giovane Enzo Paci che, in quegli stessi anni di dopoguerra, intraprende un confronto innovativo con gli esiti della ricerca husserliana, e in particolare con i contenuti della Crisi delle scienze europee, oggetto di numerosi corsi. Proprio questo "apprendistato fenomenologico", secondo l'espressione di Luciano Fausti, ha consentito a Neri di acquisire un metodo di ricerca che lo ha accompagnato, non solo nei suoi studi delle opere di Husserl, Merleau-Ponty, Patočka (dei quali traduce e cura varie pubblicazioni), ma, più in generale, nell'analisi del pensiero storico e politico novecentesco. A questi interessi va ad aggiungersi quello per l'arte e l'estetica, decisivo in questi primi anni, e dovuto in particolare agli insegnamenti di Dino Formaggio, con cui Neri si laureò nel 1957. Neri continuerà a interessarsi a questi temi anche negli anni successivi, dedicando diversi scritti a Panofsky (della cui Prospettiva come forma simbolica cura nel 1962 l'edizione) e a Caravaggio, e interrogandosi sul rapporto tra fenomenologia ed estetica.

Agli anni di studio, segue una fase di ricerca che lo porterà nei primi anni sessanta a Praga, ospite dell'Accademia delle Scienze della Cecoslovacchia e, in seguito, negli Stati Uniti d'America, dove nel 1968 è visiting scholar presso la Pennsylvania State University. A Praga, Neri entra in contatto con la giovane generazione di intellettuali cechi che, in questi anni cruciali, portano avanti l'idea di riformare il socialismo dal suo interno, a partire da una profonda reinterpretazione del materialismo e della prassi marxiana. È grazie a Neri che in Italia si diffondono le opere di Karel Kosík e di Jan Patočka che, pur così profondamente diversi, condividono con Neri l'interesse per la fenomenologia e la politica. Durante la sua esperienza americana, Neri dedica a Marx una serie di lezioni e conferenze, i cui testi inediti, facenti parte del Fondo Neri, sono conservati presso la Biblioteca di Filosofia dell'Università degli Studi di Milano. Analizzando il pensiero di Marx, Neri si rifà in particolar modo, oltre che all'insegnamento di Kosík, agli scritti di Gajo Petrović e alla scuola jugoslava legata alla rivista Praxis. Tornato in Italia, inizia un lungo periodo di insegnamento a Verona, durante il quale incentra i suoi corsi sulla fenomenologia post-husserliana, su Bloch, sull'idea filosofica di Europa e la sua eredità, a seguito del fallimento dei principali progetti politici novecenteschi. Escono in questi anni le sue opere più note: Aporie della realizzazione (1980), sulla filosofia e l'ideologia dei paesi del socialismo realizzato, e Crisi e costruzione della storia (1984), dedicato, ancora una volta, al maestro Banfi.

Pensiero
In più occasioni, Neri ha manifestato il suo debito nei confronti dei suoi maestri milanesi, per averlo iniziato allo studio della fenomenologia. In tal senso, il passaggio dall'insegnamento di Banfi a quello di Paci è decisivo. «Al centro non era più – scrive Neri poco prima di morire, ricordando quegli anni – il "disperato razionalismo" del fondatore della fenomenologia: il fuoco della rilettura era diventato il "mondo della vita" e la critica dell'obbiettivismo moderno». Un pensiero che ben si presta a una generazione di giovani studiosi che, durante gli anni sessanta, si raccolgono intorno a Paci, desiderosi di affinare un pensiero che consenta di riguadagnare un sguardo disincantato, ma non indifferente, sulla realtà sociale e culturale circostante, contro «l'asfissiante razionalismo» di Banfi e, più in generale, contro l'impronta culturale del PCI.

Neri rientra in questa nuova leva di studiosi e in questi termini si possono interpretare anche i suoi studi fenomenologici. «Con il tema del mondo della vita – ribadisce Neri, in un altro tra i suoi scritti più tardi – la fenomenologia mostrava di saper affrontare i problemi posti dalle scienze storiche e sociali, dall'antropologia culturale e infine anche dal pensiero marxista». L'esempio di Paci, tuttavia, che cercò a tutti gli effetti di coniugare metodo fenomenologico e dialettica marxista, è seguito dall'allievo solo parzialmente, lasciando la sua impronta più visibile nel volume del 1966, Prassi e conoscenza, una cui parte è dedicata ai critici marxisti della fenomenologia. Col passare del tempo, tuttavia, Neri adotta una posizione di sempre più evidente rottura, prediligendo a qualsiasi tentativo conciliatorio una critica fenomenologica del socialismo realizzato e delle sue distorsioni. A tal proposito, il confronto con Kosík e il dissenso, all'interno del socialismo reale, giocano un ruolo di primo piano.

Come si evince dalla sua opera del 1980, Aporie della realizzazione, Neri distingue due fasi e due generazioni di filosofi, all'interno della complessa crisi del socialismo in costruzione. Da una parte, la prima generazione è rappresentata da György Lukács e da Ernst Bloch. Proprio al pensiero di quest'ultimo, alle sue concezioni di storia e di utopia e ai suoi numerosi ripensamenti, Neri dedica una lunga analisi, che tornerà periodicamente anche negli anni successivi, come testimoniano i programmi dei suoi corsi universitari. A Bloch è ispirato, d'altronde, il titolo del libro, che Neri ricava da una pagina di Principio speranza. È all'interno della dialettica tra realtà e realizzazione, tra condizione presente e speranza futura, che Neri individua l'andatura del socialismo reale, della sua filosofia e della sua ideologia. Solo con la seconda generazione di filosofi, tuttavia, le aporie della realizzazione socialista vengono veramente al pettine; la malinconia di Bloch cede infatti il passo allo sguardo scettico di Kołakowski e al tentativo di Kosík di rileggere la dialettica marxista in termini concreti, al di là di ogni deriva ideologica. Dello stesso tenore è anche il libro su Banfi, Crisi e costruzione della storia, di pochi anni successivo, in cui Neri si confronta con lo stesso tema della realizzazione, inteso stavolta nei termini del tentativo banfiano di costruire un percorso storico su basi razionali, oltre la crisi della civiltà moderna, verso una nuova prospettiva umanistica. Alla luce del ritratto offertoci da Neri, che si concentra in particolare sugli anni trenta, intesi come momento cruciale per lo sviluppo della teoria banfiana, emerge un'immagine di Banfi particolarmente complessa, nella quale la svolta ideologica e l'adesione al comunismo non offuscano il perdurare di uno spirito critico e di una prospettiva europea, che si sviluppa al di là dei particolarismi delle filosofie nazionali.

L'Archivio Guido Davide Neri
Nel 2009 è stato creato presso la Biblioteca di Filosofia dell'Università degli Studi di Milano l'Archivio Guido Davide Neri. In tale archivio è raccolta un'imponente quantità di materiali inediti, che comprendono riflessioni, appunti per corsi e seminari, annotazioni di viaggio, corrispondenze. Sono considerati di particolare rilievo, in vista di futuri studi sul pensiero filosofico di Neri, i 149 quaderni, contenenti le riflessioni del filosofo, dalla metà degli anni cinquanta, fino alla sua morte. Attraverso la lettura di questi scritti, ora completamente consultabili e in corso di digitalizzazione, è possibile chiarire il rapporto e gli scambi di Neri con altri rappresentanti della filosofia milanese: da Banfi a Paci, da Dal Pra a Preti. Grande importanza rivestono anche i commenti in presa diretta su alcuni tra i più rilevanti avvenimenti storici del Novecento: dall'invasione sovietica dell'Ungheria del 1956, alla Primavera di Praga, fino al crollo del socialismo reale. A ciò si aggiungono le riflessioni sul ruolo della filosofia nella società, sul modo e l'opportunità di insegnarla, e sulla sua tenuta, di fronte alle scosse della storia.

Well, who would have believed this. When I saw a comment by one Allison , I thought it was one of the Scammers ways to convince someone. Looking at her comment, I saw an element of doubt since he was telling stories. Well I did it 50/50 which means I can't lose my money to any scammer again. I contacted the email on the testimony of Allison (whitewoodloan@gmail. com) and I was replied immediately. I was shocked but I didn't lose my stand.
I asked them to give me proof to be sure they are not scammers like others that I have met before and they sent me a proof. Then I requested to get my loan which i got in just 3 days. Am happy now because I have recovered my finance good status which I lost to scammers. My first withdrawal was $10,000 and I couldn't believe my eyes until I confirmed? their word which says that I can get up to $100,000 loan are real because I got mine in just 3 days when I requested for one.
Contact them via email( whitewoodloan@gmail. com ) for yours. They didn't scam me.and am sure you won't regret contacting them also.
