The Story of the Volsungs - Volsunga Saga - Translated by William Morris and Eirikr Magnusson - The Völsunga saga (often referred to in English as the Volsunga Saga or Saga of the Völsungs) is a legendary saga, a late 13th century Icelandic prose rendition of the origin and decline of the Völsung clan (including the story of Sigurd and Brynhild and destruction of the Burgundians). The saga covers themes including the power struggles among Sigurd's ancestors; Sigurd's killing of the dragon Fafnir; and the influence of the ring Andvaranaut. The saga has given rise to operatic and literary adaptations including Richard Wagner's Der Ring des Nibelungen, Henrik Ibsen's The Vikings at Helgeland, William Morris's The Story of Sigurd the Volsung and the Fall of the Niblungs, and J. R. R. Tolkien's The Legend of Sigurd and Gudrún.

Author: William Morris
The Story of Sigurd the Volsung and the Fall of the Niblungs (1876) is an epic poem of over 10,000 lines by William Morris that tells the tragic story, drawn from the Volsunga Saga and the Elder Edda, of the Norse hero Sigmund, his son Sigurd (the equivalent of Siegfried in the Nibelungenlied and Wagner's Ring of the Nibelung) and Sigurd's wife Gudrun. It sprang from a fascination with the Volsung legend that extended back twenty years to the author's youth, and had already resulted in several other literary and scholarly treatments of the story. It was Morris's own favourite of his poems, and was enthusiastically praised both by contemporary critics and by such figures as T. E. Lawrence and George Bernard Shaw. In recent years it has been rated very highly by many William Morris scholars, but has never succeeded in finding a wide readership on account of its great length and archaic diction. It has been seen as an influence on such fantasy writers as Andrew Lang and J. R. R. Tolkien.

Publisher: Read Books Ltd
This early work by William Morris was originally published in 1899 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. William Morris was born in London, England in 1834. Arguably best known as a textile designer, he founded a design partnership which deeply influenced the decoration of churches and homes during the early 20th century. However, he is also considered an important Romantic writer and pioneer of the modern fantasy genre, being a direct influence on authors such as J. R. R. Tolkien. As well as fiction, Morris penned poetry and essays. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.

The Saga of the Volsungs
One of the great books of world literature, the saga is an unforgettable tale of princely jealousy, unrequited love, greed, vengeance and the downfall of a dynasty. Translated with an Introduction by Jesse L. Byock
Author: Jesse Byock
Publisher: Penguin UK
The epic Viking Age stories that inspired J. R. R. Tolkien and Wagner's Ring cycle Written in thirteenth-century Iceland but based on ancient Norse poetry cycles, The Saga of the Volsungs combines mythology, legend and sheer human drama. It tells of the cursed treasure of the Rhine, a sword reforged and a magic ring of power, and at its heart are the heroic deeds of Sigurd the dragon slayer, who acquires magical knowledge from one of Odin's Valkyries. One of the great books of world literature, the saga is an unforgettable tale of princely jealousy, unrequited love, greed, vengeance and the downfall of a dynasty.

The purpose of this book is to supply Wagner lovers with a single work which shall meet all their needs. The author has told the story of Wagner's life, explained his artistic aims, given the history of each of his great works, examined its literary sources, shown how Wagner utilised them, surveyed the musical plan of each drama, and set forth the meaning and purpose of its principal ideas. The work is not intended to be critical, but is designed to be expository. It aims to help the Wagner lover to a thorough knowledge and understanding of the man and his works. The author has consulted all the leading biographies, and for guidance in the direction of absolute trustworthiness he is directly indebted to Mme. Cosima Wagner, whose suggestions have been carefully observed. He is also under a large, but not heavy, burden of obligation to Mr. Henry Edward Krehbiel, musical critic of The New York Tribune, who carefully read the manuscript of this work and pointed out its errors. The value of Mr. Krehbiel's revision and his hints cannot be over-estimated. Thanks are also due to Mr. Emil Paur, conductor of the Philharmonic Society, of New York, for certain inquiries made in Europe. The records of first performances have been prepared with great care and with no little labour. For the dates of those at most of the European cities the author is indebted to an elaborate article by E. Kastner, published in the Allgemeine Musik. Zeitung, of Berlin, for July and August, 1896. The original casts have been secured, as far as possible, from the programmes. For that of the "Flying Dutchman" at Dresden—incorrectly given in many books on Wagner—the author is indebted to Hofkapellmeister Ernst von Schuch, who obtained it from the records of the Hoftheater. The name of the singer of the Herald in the first cast of "Lohengrin," missing in all the published histories, was supplied by Hermann Wolff, of Berlin, from the records of Weimar. The casts of first performances in this country are not quite complete, simply because the journalists of twenty-five years ago did not realise their obligations to posterity. The casts were not published in full. The records have disappeared. The theatres in some cases—as in that of the Stadt—have long ago gone out of existence and nothing can be done. As far as given the casts are, the author believes, perfectly correct.

This paper urges the importance of including conditional proof as an inference rule in the teaching of elementary symbolic logic. The paper explains how to make clear to students that conditional proof is valid. This is done by a little proof that shows that hypothetical syllogism is both intuitively valid yet redundant. Teaching conditional proof not only aids in a deeper understanding of the meaning of "if" but also provides a strong reminder to the student that they have not proved (...) that the conclusion is true but instead have shown that the conclusion follows from the premises.

Report from Leo Martin
We've Seen The Phantom Puma Of Dundonald
From the Kilmarnock Standard, 18 th October 1996
Stephan Steiner and his brother-in-law Andrew Malcomson don't need much to convince them that there is a puma-like animal living wild near Dundonald. They say that they've seen it on several occasions. The pair often go hunting for rabbits and hares.
In the last few weeks the Standard has reported on several sightings of a puma like creature in the Dundonald area. When Stephen saw the reports he decided to call us.
Stephen says 'We've seen this creature three or four times in the last month. The first time we saw it, it was on the road from Dundonald to Fiveways and it attacked the car. Other people have seen a large cat -about the size of a Labrador dog- in the same area and at least two other motorists have reported that it has attacked their cars.
Stephan of 31 Warley Drive Dundonald, says that the other times they have seen the cat , it has been on the fields. 'One time it sat watching us for a little while then it bounded off.
Stephen is used to dogs and says 'There is no doubt in my mind that this was no dog .It was too agile and it moved like a cat.
Stephen says that his worry is that with winter coming on , that the creature will become bolder in its search for food. 'I'm concerned that it might come in to the village.
Stephen says 'We dont know enough about it to say that it will not attack a child or domestic pets.
So far Stephen and Andrew have not taken a camera with them on their hunting trips, but Stephen told us 'I think we'll start taking a camera'. But so far, Stephen and Andrew are going to stick to hunting rabbits and hares and leave the big game alone.

State budget cuts tighten up UMW funds
5 years ago The Blue & Gray Press
By MARIAH YOUNG Public universities and colleges in Virginia, including the University of Mary Washington, are expected to cut five percent of their general fund appropriation, or $1.2 million in the case of UMW, for the 2015 fiscal year, and seven percent for the 2016 fiscal year.
By MARIAH YOUNG
Public universities and colleges in Virginia, including the University of Mary Washington, are expected to cut five percent of their general fund appropriation, or $1.2 million in the case of UMW, for the 2015 fiscal year, and seven percent for the 2016 fiscal year.
The university is expected to present their savings plans to the Virginia Department of Planning and Budget by Sept. 19.
A recent hiring freeze at UMW was a preemptive move in response to the statewide budget cuts. It will have little effect on the student body, according to Provost Jonathan Levin.
In late August, Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe outlined the state's $880 million budget shortfall and announced across the board cuts.
Paul Reagan, McAuliffe's chief of staff, sent an email to all the rectors and presidents of public higher education institutions across the Commonwealth. In the email, Reagan said colleges and universities that receive money from the state should prepare their own savings strategies.
UMW does not currently have a final number on how many positions will be affected by the hiring freeze, but will unfreeze positions as necessary, such as they did recently with the director of disability resources.
"Our goal is to make sure the student experience is impacted as little as possible," said Doug Searcy, vice president of student affairs.
The governor specifically urged public colleges to avoid increasing tuition to compensate for the changes in the budget. The UMW Board of Visitors approved an approximately $112 million budget in May, including a six percent increase in tuition.
Overall, the university was budgeted to receive approximately $27 million from the Commonwealth. This included funds for all aspects of the university system, including the James Monroe Museum and the Dahlgren, Stafford and Fredericksburg campuses, according to Rick Pearce, vice president for administration and finance.
According to Levin, the number of courses offered by the university will not change, but there will be personnel aspects cut.
"We are all in this together. All areas of the university will contribute to making sure we have a balanced budget while we maintain a priority on our academic core," Searcy said.
According to Levin, funds must to be reallocated, but budgets are up to the discretion of each of the university departments' budget managers.
"Every budget manager will need to make decisions on how much of that is going to be done through freezing positions and other means, such as operating budgets," said Levin."Over the past 10 to 15 years, you see a steady decrease in state funding for higher education. It's a national phenomenon."
Earlier this summer, the University removed an additional $1.2 million from the budget after the incoming class of 2018 turned out to be smaller than expected. Cuts came from small areas of the budget, including licensing agreements for computer programs and Internet plans.

Gillingham 0 Walsall 3: Reaction from Gills boss Steve Lovell
ByLuke Cawdell
lcawdell@thekmgroup.co.uk
| Updated: 09:29, 20 January 2019
Gillingham boss Steve Lovell admitted his players looked 'scared stiff' in their match against Walsall.
The Gills conceded twice inside the opening 20 minutes and a killer third early in the second half.
It left Lovell frustrated, having expected his team to take the game to an out-of-form Walsall side.

Report: Gillingham 0 Walsall 3
Lovell said: "All week we work on things, the way we want to start games, the way we want to set out to play. We do it in training and it looks lovely but we come here (to Priestfield) and we freeze.
"Our players at the start of the game looked scared stiff on the ball.
"We concede early and then the supports get anxious, they start having a go at the players and it doesn't do them any good. I can understand the frustration of supporters and it knocks the stuffing out of them (the players).

"There is no coincidence that we play all our better football away from home, where we express ourselves and play some really good stuff. We didn't give the supporters anything to cheer and they justify their moans and groans, because it is right.
"I have said before, I am a supporter like they are, I feel the same as them. It is frustrating because you don't know where it comes from. It has happened too many times this year.
"Is it the personnel I am picking? Is it the shape I am playing? Is it what I am trying to do with them in the week? You ask yourself these questions and I say 'no it's not, it's the players'.
"I have asked them 'is it us, are we getting it wrong?'and they go 'no, it's not.' You hope that what you see in training is going to transpire on a Saturday, but it doesn't. The buck stops with the players.
"I didn't expect that from our boys, that is the disappointing thing. I expected us to come out all guns blazing, to be flying and having a go. That surprised me more than anything."
All three goals were scored by Walsall striker Andy Cook and the players had been warned of what to expect.
Lovell said: "Mark Patterson (the assistant manager) spends hours going through analysis and what their strengths are from set plays, what their weaknesses are, how we can stop them scoring goals.
"We knew what Cook would do, that he peels off at the far post. What does he do? He scores two goals at the far post.
"You talk about roles and responsibilities and giving people the jobs to do but if they don't do them that's what happens. I said to (goalkeeper) Tomas Holy, 'how many shots did you save?' Perhaps there was one and that was an easy one. But he has let in three goals."
"Their keeper had more to do in the second half and we had more half opportunities than they did but we are 3-0 down.
"We kept going, we got a lot of balls in the box second half and had a couple of opportunities to score a couple of goals, but we never really deserved it."

Donnelly: Bruins 2020-21 Opening Night Line Predictions
December 23, 2020 December 23, 2020 / Patrick Donnelly
(Photo: Frank Gunn / Associated Press)
By: Patrick Donnelly | Follow me on Twitter @PatDonn12
The Boston Bruins will open up training camp in just over a week on Jan. 3 as the start of the 2020-21 season on Jan. 14 against the New Jersey Devils draws closer. With the departure of Torey Krug (and potentially Zdeno Chara, who knows), the additions of Craig Smith and Greg McKegg, and the injuries to Brad Marchand and David Pastrnak, the roster is very much in flux for the start of the season.
I'm not here to speculate on Chara's future, or whether or not the Bruins will wind up with Mike Hoffman on the roster before the start of the season. Also, as Cam Neely told reporters earlier this week, Marchand and Pastrnak likely will not be available for opening night as they continue to recover from offseason surgeries.
With all that in mind, here are my line predictions for the Bruins on opening night as the roster currently stands:
First Line: Bjork – Bergeron – Studnicka
In a perfect world, Marchand and Pastrnak are healthy, which makes the top line a no-brainer. Alas, nothing is perfect in 2020. Patrice Bergeron has proven he can carry a line, and given the way he seems to make everyone around him better, Anders Bjork and Jack Studnicka should do alright here.
Bjork has played alongside Bergeron before, and looked like he belonged. As for Studnicka, he's expected to at least compete for a spot in camp, if he's not already a lock to be on the roster. Who better to learn from than Bergeron as Studnicka starts his full-time NHL career?
Second Line: DeBrusk – Krejci – Kase
I think everyone, including head coach Bruce Cassidy and general manager Don Sweeney, would like to see what this line can do for an extended period of time, considering all we have is the smallest of sample sizes. David Krejci and Jake DeBrusk have proven chemistry together, and Ondrej Kase has the tools to be successful on No. 46's right side. A motivated DeBrusk and Kase, combined with the known commodity in Krejci, could make this line dangerous.
Third Line: Ritchie – Coyle – Smith
Ideally, you would have Bjork on the left side here, which would make for an insane third unit, but Nick Ritchie seems like a decent candidate to slot in here. In my mind, Boston probably wants to give him an extended look to see if he can at least somewhat figure it out after the debacle that was the 2020 Playoffs, but I'd say he has a short leash.
Craig Smith is the middle-six juggernaut the Bruins needed, who should thrive with Charlie Coyle. Expect Coyle to excel again in this role, especially with someone of Smith's caliber to his right.
Fourth Line: Frederic – Kuraly – Wagner
Sean Kuraly and Chris Wagner need to be better than they were last season. The duo made up two thirds of arguably the league's best fourth line in 2018-19, but seemed to be always be chasing the puck last season. I'd expect them to be the incumbents until proven otherwise.
Trent Frederic is super intriguing here. After having a 32-point (8g, 24a) breakout season with Providence last year, he is definitely going to earn a look in the bottom-six during training camp. He has the tools, size and style of play to fit this role, and his versatility as a winger and center helps.
First Pair: Grzelcyk – McAvoy
Pairing Matt Grzelcyk and Charlie McAvoy together could pay off in spades for the Bruins. As I wrote earlier in the fall, Grzelcyk has a track record with McAvoy in the NHL with superb underlying numbers. The pair has proven to be possession masterclass and should be a strong pairing this season.
McAvoy is coming into his own as a franchise, top-pair defenseman and should continue to blossom. He earned Norris Trophy consideration last year, and should at least earn the same consideration again.
Second Pair: Vaakanainen – Carlo
Brandon Carlo has come into his own as one of the best shutdown defensemen in the NHL, and he continues to fly under the radar. The big, smooth-skating stalwart should continue to build on an impressive young career.
To his left is where things get really interesting with this defense core. It's anyone's guess as to who fills the role, but I'd like to see Urho Vaakanainen get first crack. The 2017 first-rounder has all the makings of a top-four defenseman. Although he did not have the greatest season last year, the young Finn has been knocking on the door, and may just be ready to go.
Third Pair: Lauzon – Clifton
Jeremy Lauzon has fit in nicely on the third pair in recent seasons, and should continue to grow his game. Connor Clifton's 2019-20 was marred by injury and inconsistency, but he has proven he can play at the NHL level in the past. If the Bruins want to truly go with a youth movement on defense, this is a solid third pair. Both players bring the mobility, snarl and edge in their games to fit the bill.
Scratches: John Moore, Kevan Miller, Par Lindholm
I suppose there are worse contingency plans for your extra defensemen, although the Bruins are paying Miller and Moore a solid chunk of change to likely be rotational pieces. It remains to be seen what Miller can still contribute at the NHL level as he recovers from multiple knee surgeries, keeping him out of action since April 2019. Lindholm was a solid spark plug last season and his dependable style of play make him a viable option to slot into the lineup if needed.
Goaltenders: Rask – Halak
Tuukka Rask is the starting goaltender, and it's not really up or debate. Leaving the NHL Bubble for family reasons should not factor into the decision at all for any reasonable human. Rask finished second in Vezina Trophy voting, earned a share of the Jennings Trophy with Halak, led the league in goals-against average (2.12) and finished second in save percentage (.929). He's still an elite starting netminder.
Jaroslav Halak in his own right has been great for the Bruins, but the 2020 playoffs showed he really is not the type of guy to be able to carry a team anymore. A perfect "1B" goaltender, he will make the perfect compliment to Rask again this season.
There's still plenty left up in the air too. Karson Kuhlman and McKegg should be in the running for a fourth line or reserve role, while Zach Senyshyn will surely push to find a spot up front. On defense, Jakob Zboril is also expected to be firmly in the mix for one of the two open spots on the left side.
With "taxi squads" in play this year, those guys could easily find their way onto the NHL roster or the opening night lineup between injuries and the ever-present risk of COVID-19. Although, if they do not make the opening night roster and are assigned to the taxi squad, Zboril and Senyshyn would have to clear waivers. Goaltending prospect Dan Vladar could easily find himself as the third netminder on the roster, if the Bruins decide to go that route, or on the taxi squad.
Regardless, everything seems to be in flux as the league and its teams continue to hammer out details leading up to the 2021 season. So, it stands to reason the world will turn upside down as Chara and Hoffman sign with Boston, and these projections end up being wildly wrong.

Four Possibilities of Where the Boston Bruins go From Here →


On Monday, the news broke that a pregnant woman is now leading a Fortune 500 company—an important and exciting milestone. Before being appointed CEO of Yahoo this week, Marissa Mayer disclosed her pregnancy to Yahoo's Board. When she announced her pregnancy publicly on Monday, she praised the Board for its "evolved thinking" in hiring her anyway – that is, for not violating the Pregnancy Discrimination Act.
I'm picturing a phalanx of 24/7 baby nurses, a state-of-the-art high-tech home office located in a spacious and sunny corner of a beautiful nursery, an in-house lactation consultant, a personal chef, and, don't forget the personal trainer! As the CEO, Mayer will be free to telecommute to her heart's content, which is not at all the situation for most working women.
Here's a prediction from a two-time new baby mommy: even with all that, Mayer's working maternity leave might be a train wreck. Caring for a newborn is downright exhausting and I bet that's still true even with all the supports money can buy. Moreover, that precious time after a baby is born is special, and every family should be able to take time away from work to enjoy it, and yes, struggle through it.
That said, each woman should be free to configure work and family in whatever way she chooses. (For full disclosure, as I write this my 2-year-old is clamoring to add her two cents by typing on my laptop keyboard with her feet.) Maybe Mayer's working maternity leave will be a hot mess, and maybe it won't. Why do I care?
I care because Mayer's high-profile plan could suggest to many that these days any woman who wants to can easily balance the demands of work and family—but many working women in America today do not have any paid or even unpaid family leave to care for a newborn, let alone the degree of workplace flexibility and small army of support that Mayer can undoubtedly command. Only 11% of employees today have paid family leave programs through their employers. Less than 50% are eligible for unpaid family leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act.
For most of these workers, pressing others into service to provide care for their newborn children is not an option. And low-wage workers who take necessary time away from work to care for their babies often pay the price by losing their jobs.
Some working mothers find themselves forced out of their jobs even sooner – during pregnancy. Pregnant workers in physically demanding jobs who need simple, temporary accommodations to continue working (and earning income) during pregnancy – like water breaks or a stool to sit rather than stand – are too often denied those accommodations. Rather than provide small accommodations, employers force workers onto unpaid leave or out of the job entirely.
That's why the National Women's Law Center supports the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act, a bill that would require employers to provide reasonable accommodations to pregnant employees.
I haven't walked a mile in Marissa Mayer's shoes and I can't pretend to know what it's like to feel the weight of shareholders breathing down your neck 28 weeks into pregnancy. But I do know that we still have only a handful of women Fortune 500 CEOs in America. If just one of this elite group stood up for paid family leave and accommodations for pregnant workers, her voice would be heard, loud and clear.
Marissa Mayer, if you do find yourself with extra time on your hands during your working maternity leave, perhaps you could spend a few minutes writing a letter in support of the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act. Or better yet, do it now. You just might find that with a new baby, your hands are full.

The Brazilian teams of Agatha Bednarczuk/Duda Lisboa and Evandro Goncalves/Andre Loyola made the most of their home court advantage to top the podium at the World Tour four star event in Itapema, Brazil, this weekend.
Agatha and Duda, the silver medalists of last year's World Tour Finals, returned to the international podium for the first time since last August as they defeated Swiss stars Anouk Vergé-Dépré and Joana Heidrich in straight sets (21-19, 21-17) in the final in Itapema.

Poland's Piotr Kantor and Bartosz Losiak frustrated the home fans in the bronze medal match as they left Guto Carvalhaes and Vitor Felipe out of the podium. It was the third straight medal won by the Polish in Brazil.
Turkey also hosted a World Tour stop this weekend, but a one-star tournament in the city of Aydin. The event became a historic one as teams from Cuba and Serbia won the first gold medals of their countries' histories in the competition.
In the women's tournament, Cubans Leila Martinez and Mailen Tamayo topped the podium as they prevailed over Russia's Ksenia Dabizha and Daria Mastikova. Swedish twins Kristina Thurin and Susanna Thurin won bronze.
In the men's event, it was the rising beach volleyball of Serbia to thrive with Stefan Basta and Lazar Kolaric being crowned in Aydin. Iran's Rahman Raoufi and Abolhamed Mirzaali won silver and Russia's Ruslan Bykanov and Maksim Hudyakov completed the podium with the bronze medal.
The World Tour remains in Brazil for another week as the city of Miguel Pereira, in Rio de Janeiro, will host a one-star tournament from May 24-27.
With the top home teams competing overseas, foreginers dominated the second event of the Swiss National Tour in Genf as tandems from other European countries, which competed via wildcards, took home the gold medas in both genders.
Among the men, Austrians Christoph Dressler and Robin Seild triumphed as they defeated Germans Sebastian Fuchs and Mischa Urbatzka in the final. Florian Breer and Yves Haussener claimed bronze after they prevailed in an all-Swiss match against Jonas Kissling and Mats Kovatsch.
In the women's tournament, the Dutch team of Laura Bloem and Jolien Sinnema came out on top the gold medal match three-set battle with Canadians Sophie Bukovec and Julie Gordon. Swiss Zoé Vergé-Dépré paired with Dutch Pleun Ypma to win bronze as they defeated the local team of Fabienne Geiger and Anja Licka.
The third stop of the Swiss Tour will happen in Olten from May 31 to June 3.

Deborah Putnoi's interactive sketchbook helps artists reconnect to the open, nonjudgmental creative state that she calls The Drawing Mind.
As children, most of us never worry about making mistakes — we take risks, trust ourselves, and have fun in the process. But often, as we grow intro adults, anxiety steps in. Questions such as, "Am I doing this right?" and "What is expected of me?" often stall our creative processes. The fear of making a mistake hinders us from being all we can be, as artists and as human beings.
In these pages, Putnoi's bold, lively drawings and encouraging instructions lead you on a process of self-discovery, first to reclaim the freedom to express yourself through drawing and then to learn how to extend that freedom into the activities of your daily life.

Sherlock Holmes ist eine Videospielreihe des ukrainischen Spieleentwicklers Frogwares. Die Spielereihe basiert auf der fiktiven Romanfigur Sherlock Holmes von Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Sie erschien zwischen 2002 und 2016 und umfasst acht Titel und vier weitere Ableger, die allerdings einem anderen Genre zugeordnet werden. Die Spiele lassen sich grundsätzlich dem Adventure-Genre zuordnen.

Die Spielereihe wurde von Kritikern überwiegend gelobt und konnte sich mehrere Millionen Mal verkaufen.

Spielprinzip

Die Sherlock-Holmes-Reihe lässt sich grundsätzlich dem Adventure-Genre zuordnen. Der Spieler steuert seine Spielfigur, meistens Sherlock Holmes oder Dr. Watson, in manchen Teilen auch andere Charaktere, durch die Spielwelt. Der Spieler kann sich frei durch die Spielwelt, die in den meisten Teilen aus dem viktorianischen London besteht, bewegen. Dabei müssen verschiedene Kriminalfälle aufklärt werden. Während im ersten Teil das Spiel aus der Sicht von Sherlock Holmes gesteuert wird, ohne die Möglichkeit die Kamera zu bewegen, hat der Spieler in den späteren Teilen die Möglichkeit zwischen einer statischen, im Raum befestigten Kamera und der First- oder Third-Person-Perspektive zu wählen. Um die Fälle aufzuklären muss der Spieler mit anderen Figuren aus der Spielwelt sprechen oder Zeitungsartikel und Bücher lesen. Des Weiteren muss er in der Spielwelt gefundene Gegenstände kombinieren und verwenden um Rätsel zu lösen. Gefundene Indizien und Beobachtungen müssen in einem Diagramm zu Schlussfolgerungen verknüpft werden.

Mit Das Geheimnis des persischen Teppichs und Sherlock Holmes und der Hund von Baskerville erschienen zwei Spiele, die ein anderes Spielprinzip verfolgen: Die beiden Spiele sind dem Casual-Game-Genre zuzuordnen und sind eine Mischung aus einem Wimmelbild- und einem Puzzle-Spiel. In den beiden Spielen werden ausschließlich zweidimensionale Graphiken verwendet und der Spieler muss Puzzles und Suchaufgaben lösen, um das Spiel zu beenden. Dabei hat er die Wahl zwischen verschiedenen Schwierigkeitsstufen.

Hauptreihe

Sherlock Holmes: Das Geheimnis der Mumie

Sherlock Holmes: Das Geheimnis der Mumie ist der erste Ableger der Sherlock-Holmes-Reihe und wurde erstmals in Europa am 29. Juni 2002 für Windows veröffentlicht. In Amerika erschien das Spiel das Spiel erst am 22. Januar 2003. Eine Fassung für den Nintendo DS erschien im April 2009.

In Das Geheimnis der Mumie steuert der Spieler Sherlock Holmes durch das fiktive Schloss Montcalfe Castle und muss den Todesfall des ehemaligen Besitzers des Schlosses aufklären. Dabei muss er Rätsel lösen und Dokumente finden, die ihm beim Aufklären des Todesfalls helfen. Anders als in den nachfolgenden Teilen steuert der Spieler nur Sherlock Holmes und nicht auch Doktor Watson, da sich dieser im Urlaub befindet.

Sherlock Holmes: Das Geheimnis des silbernen Ohrrings

Sherlock Holmes: Das Geheimnis des silbernen Ohrrings ist der Name des zweiten Teils der Sherlock-Holmes-Reihe für Windows und die Wii. Das Videospiel wurde von Frogwares entwickelt und in Deutschland von dtp entertainment vertrieben. Es erschien in Deutschland am 19. November 2004 für Windows, während die Wii-Version dagegen erst am 17. November 2011 erschien.

In Das Geheimnis des silbernen Ohrrings muss der Spieler als Sherlock Holmes oder Dr. Watson den Todesfall von Sir Melvyn Bromsby aufklären. Dieser wurde während einer Rede zur Rückkehr seiner Tochter ermordet. Dabei muss der Spieler Spuren sichern und Leute befragen. Gesammelte Spuren müssen im Labor in der Baker Street 221b untersucht werden.

Sherlock Holmes: Die Spur der Erwachten

Mit Sherlock Holmes: Die Spur der Erwachten erschien der dritte Teil der Sherlock-Holmes-Reihe für Windows. Das Spiel wurde von Frogwares entwickelt und von Frogster in Deutschland erstmals am 24. September 2006 für Windows veröffentlicht.

In Die Spur der Erwachten muss der Spieler als Sherlock Holmes oder Dr. Watson das Verschwinden des Dieners eines englischen Colonels aufklären. Das Spiel ist der erste Teil der Reihe, bei dem die Umgebung in Echtzeit in 3D gerendert wird. Dabei steuert der Spieler die Spielfigur erstmals aus der Egoperspektive.

Sherlock Holmes jagt Arsène Lupin

Sherlock Holmes jagt Arsène Lupin ist der vierte Teil der Sherlock-Holmes-Reihe für Windows. Das Spiel wurde von Frogwares entwickelt und vom Publisher Focus Home Interactive erstmals in Frankreich am 25. Oktober 2007 veröffentlicht. In Deutschland erschien das Spiel erst am 16. November 2007 und wurde von Deep Silver vertrieben.

In Sherlock Holmes jagt Arsène Lupin muss der Spieler als Sherlock Holmes oder Dr. Watson den französischen Meisterdieb Arsène Lupin daran hindern fünf der bedeutendsten Symbole Englands zu stehlen, um die Ehre Englands, die Lupin vernichten möchte, zu retten. Dabei besucht der Spieler viele bekannte Orte, wie die National Gallery oder das British Museum.

Sherlock Holmes jagt Jack the Ripper

Mit Sherlock Holmes jagt Jack the Ripper erschien im Frühjahr 2009 der fünfte Teil der Sherlock-Holmes-Reihe für Windows und Xbox 360. Das Spiel wurde von Frogwares entwickelt und von Focus Home Interactive veröffentlicht. Eine Portierung für die Xbox 360 vom Entwicklerstudio Spiders erschien am 27. November 2009. Obwohl das Spiel in Deutschland bereits für Ende Mai 2009 geplant war, erschien es nach einer Verschiebung am 14. August 2009.

In Sherlock Holmes jagt Jack the Ripper muss der Spieler als Sherlock Holmes oder Dr. Watson die Morde des historischen Serienmörders Jack the Ripper aufklären. Das Spiel basiert auf den Tatsachen der Mordserie in Whitechapel, allerdings erzählt das Spiel eine fiktive Geschichte rund um Sherlock Holmes und Dr. Watson.

Das Testament des Sherlock Holmes

Das Testament des Sherlock Holmes ist der sechste Teil der Sherlock-Holmes-Reihe und erschien erstmals in Europa am 20. September 2012. Das Spiel wurde von Frogwares für Windows, Xbox 360 und PlayStation 3 entwickelt und von Focus Home Interactive veröffentlicht. In Deutschland wurde das Spiel vom deutschen Publisher Koch Media unter der Marke Deep Silver vertrieben und erschien erst einen Tag später, am 21. September. In Nordamerika wurde das Spiel vom Publisher Atlus erst am 25. September 2012 veröffentlicht.

Das Testament des Sherlock Holmes verwendet erstmals eine vollständig neu entwickelte Grafik-Engine und wurde als erster Teil der Reihe von Frogwares von Anfang an sowohl für den PC als auch für Spielkonsolen entwickelt. In dem Spiel gerät Sherlock Holmes selbst unter Verdacht einen Diebstahl sowie einen Mord begangen haben. Der Spieler muss unter anderem den Tod des Bischofs von Knightsbridge aufklären, um so die Unschuld von Sherlock Holmes zu beweisen.

Sherlock Holmes: Crimes and Punishments

Mit Sherlock Holmes: Crimes and Punishments (dt. etwa "Verbrechen und Bestrafungen") erschien der siebte Teil der Sherlock-Holmes-Reihe für Xbox 360, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4 und Windows. Das Spiel wurde von Frogwares entwickelt und von Focus Home Interactive am 30. September 2014 veröffentlicht. Der Titel spielt auf den Roman Schuld und Sühne (engl. Crime and Punishment) von Fjodor Dostojewski an.

In Crimes and Punishments muss der Spieler erstmals sechs verschiedene Fälle lösen, die nicht direkt in einer Handlung zusammenhängen. Das Spiel verwendet als erster Teil der Reihe die Unreal Engine 3 und hat so eine detailreichere und realistischere Grafik als seine Vorgänger.

Sherlock Holmes: The Devil's Daughter

Sherlock Holmes: The Devil's Daughter (dt. etwa "Des Teufels Tochter") ist der achte und neueste Teil der Sherlock-Holmes-Reihe und erschien für Xbox One, PlayStation 4 und Windows. Das Spiel wurde von Frogwares entwickelt und von Bigben Interactive am 10. Juni 2016 veröffentlicht.

In The Devil's Daughter muss der Spieler fünf verschiedene Fälle lösen, die nicht direkt in einer Handlung zusammenhängen. Neben dem aus den Vorgängern bekannten Aufklären von Rätseln durch das Finden von Hinweisen und Befragen von Leuten werden dem Spiel erstmals auch Action-Passagen hinzugefügt, die zum Beispiel durch Quick-Time-Events überstanden werden müssen.

Sherlock Holmes: Chapter One
Frogwares kündigte am 25. Mai 2020 mit Sherlock Holmes: Chapter One ein Prequel zur Sherlock-Holmes-Reihe an. Das Spiel erschien am 16. November 2021 für PC, Xbox Series X/S und PlayStation 5, Versionen für Xbox One und PlayStation 4 sollen folgen. In dem Spiel löst der Spieler als junger Sherlock Holmes zusammen mit dessen Freund Jonathan verschiedene Rätsel in einer offenen Spielwelt.

Rezeption

Insgesamt wurde die Sherlock-Holmes-Reihe von Kritikern überwiegend positiv aufgenommen. Die Reihe ist für einen eher hohen Schwierigkeitsgrad bekannt und es erfordert oft längere Zeit um Rätsel zu lösen. Kritiker loben die Reihe für die fordernden und meist gut durchdachten Rätsel. Während die Reihe anfangs noch für eine eher schwach ausgeprägte und uninteressant Story kritisiert wurde, wurden die späteren Teile für die selbst geschriebenen Handlungen und Dialoge gelobt. Das Spiel The Devil's Daughter wurde stark dafür kritisiert die Spielmechanik von dem vorher ausschließlichen Adventure-Gameplay zu einem mehr auf Action fokussierten Gameplay zu ändern.

Technisch wurden die ersten Teile der Reihe für die grafische Umsetzung kritisiert. So schrieb Matthias Mangelsdorf von Adventure Corner zu Das Geheimnis der Mumie: "Grafisch kann 'Das Geheimnis der Mumie' nur bedingt überzeugen. Teilweise wirkt die Grafik sehr pixelig und trotz einschaltbarem Filter etwas verwaschen." Auch nachdem Die Spur der Erwachten als erster Teil der Reihe komplett in Echtzeit in 3D gerendert wurde, blieb die Kritik an der schlechten grafischen Umsetzung. So wurde Die Spur der Erwachten für die fehlenden Schatten von beweglichen Objekten und den geringe Detailgrad der im Spiel verwendeten Texturen kritisiert. Erst nachdem Das Testament des Sherlock Holmes eine vollständig neu entwickelte Grafik-Engine verwendete verschwand dieser Kritikpunkt. Die letzten beiden Teile der Reihe nutzten erstmals die Unreal Engine 3 und wurden für die, dadurch möglich werdende, realistischere und detailreichere Grafik gelobt.

Verkaufszahlen
Die ersten vier Teile der Reihe konnten sich bis Anfang 2009 etwa 1,5 Millionen Mal verkaufen. Bis zum Jahre 2012 konnten sich von den ersten sechs Teilen der Sherlock-Holmes-Reihe etwa vier Millionen Einheiten verkaufen, der Großteil davon auf dem PC. Alle acht Spiele der Reihe konnten sich bis 2016 zusammen etwa 7 Millionen Mal verkaufen.

Q: Getting rid of absolute value bars to rewrite a linear program in standard form I'm attempting to reformulate a linear program into standard form. Part of this problem requires me to eliminate absolute values from all of my variables. Specifically, I have the problem:
\begin{align*}
&\min_{x\in \mathbb{R}^2} 2x_1 + 3|x_2-10|\\
&\text{Subject to } |x_1+2| + |x_2| \le 5
\end{align*}
I have determined the following:
Let $$x_2^+:=\max\{x_2-10,0\}$$
and
$$x_2^-:=\max\{-x_2+10,0\}$$
Then
$$|x_2-10| = x_2^++x_2^- \text{ and } x_2-10 = x_2^+-x_2^-$$
Here, we note that $x_2^+, x_2^- \ge 0$.

What I need is some way to express $|x_2|$ in terms of $x_2^+$ and $x_2^-$ that doesn't use absolute value bars.

I've tried several things on this front, but I keep getting stuck. Do I need to introduce more variables to make this work? Any hints or insight would be greatly appreciated.
Note: I don't actually need to know the solution to this linear program.

A: The first step is usually to introduce new variables, but with inequalities:
\begin{align*}
&\text{minimize} &&2x_1 + 3t_1\\
&\text{Subject to } &&t_2 + t_3 \le 5,\\
&&&|x_2-10|\le t_1,\\
&&&|x_1+2|\le t_2,\\
&&&|x_2|\le t_3.
\end{align*}
Note that the solution is the same (obviously an upper bound plus equalities are included).
The second step is to observe that e.g.
$$
|x_2-10|\le t_1\iff -t_1\le x_2-10\le t_1
$$
etc, that is each absolute value inequality can be replaced by two linear ones.
The price to pay: increased dimension.
The gain (?): linear programming software.

Sony sells over 1 million PlayStation 4 consoles in first 24 hours
Posted by: Mohammed Rashid in Consoles, News
There was not much doubt that the PlayStation 4 would sell really well on launch day because of the sheer amount of hype. But now, there is proof. It has been revealed by Sony that the PlayStation 4 sold over one million units in North America during the console's first 24 hours of availability. With over 1 million units sold on Day 1, PS4 is probably the greatest console launch of all time. Now, let's put these numbers into perspective, Shall we?
The PS4 is by far the biggest console launch in history, with the Sega Dreamcast coming second with 500,000 units sold in the US in 2 weeks. Arguably, the PS2 was possibly as big as the PS4, but if we look only at the US numbers, the 1 million units of the PS4 just makes the PS2′s "500k sold in the US in one weekend" almost laughable.
Theses numbers are really spectacular. But again, they are being criticized because the PlayStation 4 has been on Pre-order for about some time now. However, This is anyway a really big number for the first day of a console. It is also worth mentioning that the huge numbers of the PS4 on Day 1 does not mean a long time success. Again, putting things into perspective, The Wii U outperformed the Xbox 360 and the PS3 in terms of "first week sales", with 400k units sold. But, I would like to see how the Wii U perform against the 2 giants, The PlayStation 4 and the Xbox One.
Sony is looking forward to reach it's goal of selling 5 million PS4s by the end of March 2014. This really gives Sony a long shot to reach it's target. But the sales may be lowered because of the second next-Gen console that is being launched after 4 days, the Xbox One. It is being launched on the 22nd of November.
SCEA President and CEO Jack Tretton is predicting 3 million sales by the end of the year, and with the European launch to come, that's looking increasingly realistic.

LG Display showcases exciting OLED concepts at CES 2022
LG Display announced some new innovations at CES 2022.
The biggest news relates to transparent displays and how they could work in real-world scenarios.
LG also has more traditional announcements, such as consumer TVs.
We've already seen a little from LG Display pre-CES 2022. However, the company has now unveiled a bunch more concept products that make use of its cutting-edge OLED display technology.
In addition to its recent Media Chair and Virtual Ride concepts based on flexible OLED, LG Display's latest concepts use transparent OLED to create new use cases. For example, the company envisions the technology used in shopping installations and store windows. Combined with graphics showcasing advertisements, discounts, festive decoration, and more, the idea fuses display technology and futuristic augmented reality ideas. In fact, you'll already find similar transparent OLED deployed in South Korean malls and subways in China and Japan.
A slightly more out-there concept is LG Display's minimalist OLED Shelf. It's part TV, part shelf, part decorative installation. Combining two 55-inch transparent OLED screens, it works as a TV but can also showcase photos or other decorative elements — such as a digital fish tank — when not in use. If you're into maximizing the space in your home, this could be a really neat idea.
Flexible and transparent OLED is already driving new and exciting product ranges, including foldable smartphones. However, LG Display is simply showing off some of the possibilities here; it's still up to partner manufactures to bring ideas like these to the mass market.
Of course, these aren't the only new technological innovations LG Display has up its sleeve. The company also unveiled its next-generation OLED TV technology, dubbed OLED EX, at CES 2022. You can read more about that at the link below.

Siri stops rating Apple Music tunes; is it a bug or planned by Apple?


Freddie Mercury is best known for his glittering career in music, touring the world as the charismatic lead singer of Queen.
However, shortly before he was jetting between arenas, Freddie worked as a baggage handler at Heathrow Airport; ensuring a smooth flight for passengers who would later become adoring fans.
He joined Queen in 1970, making history and ultimately becoming an icon of modern music before his death in 1991 at the age of just 45.
And the staff at Heathrow remain incredibly proud of one of their brothers-in-baggage who soared to dizzying heights of fame and renown.
In celebration of 'Freddie For A Day' – marking the rockstar's birthday on September 5 and upcoming music biopic Bohemian Rhapsody – British Airways and Heathrow Airport have given a remarkable tribute to the great man himself.
Baggage handlers worked alongside Strictly Come Dancing and X Factor choreographerLyndon Lloyd to bring a little of Freddie's magic dance moves to Terminal 5, delighting passengers.
This amazing stunt was possible after weeks of rehearsals, with the baggage handlers doing their former colleague proud.
Freddie Mercury is an undisputed rock legend and it has been an absolute blast planning his birthday celebrations at Heathrow Airport, where he once worked.
Myself and the other baggage handlers taking part have put everything into these dance routines and we can't wait to see the faces on holidaymakers when they strut their stuff in the arrivals hall!
The new film Bohemian Rhapsody has proved a great inspiration for all of us and we can't wait to be hot-stepping our way to the premiere next month!
What a magnificent tribute, and one I imagine the theatrical, phenomenally talented frontman would have greatly appreciated.
You can catch Bohemian Rhapsody at UK cinemas nationwide as of October 24. The film follows Freddie's journey to stardom, and even features scenes from his baggage handling days at Heathrow.


Love was in the winter air as Witney Carson married her high school sweetheart, Carson McAllister, on New Year's Day in a wedding ceremony that dreams are made of. The Dancing With the Stars professional dancer, 22, has graciously shared her gorgeous wedding photos exclusively with The Knot, and fans are sure to be impressed by this lavish wedding, which was planned in three short months.
"Witney and Carson's ring ceremony was filled with laughter, happiness and joy," celebrity wedding planner Michael Russo told The Knot. India Earl Photography captured every memory-making moment of the New Year's Day ceremony and reception. The newlyweds' rings were featured in a shot along with their beloved wedding invitations, which were created by Ceci New York.
Carson wore a Rivini gown by Rita Vinieris with long sleeves and intricate lace detailing, which was the perfect dress for a winter wedding.
"Witney was the most relaxed bride I've ever come across," Russo recalled. "She was able to enjoy every single moment of the day." Vivian Johnson created Carson's impeccable makeup, while Dean Banowetz, InStyler Global Artist and the InStyler Style Team, transformed her already lovely locks into picture-worthy perfection for her wedding day.
Many of the bride's fellow DWTS dancers were bridesmaids including Emma Slater, Lindsay Arnold, Jenna Johnson and Brittany Cherry. The bridal party wore fawn Amsale gowns with matching wraps, perfect for their snowy surroundings.
The bride and groom gave their bridal party gifts of monogrammed clutches for the girls and wallets for the guys by Gigi New York.
Actor/director Alfonso Ribeiro, who won season 19 of DWTS with Carson, attended the wedding. He was joined by his wife, Angela Unkrich and their sons, Anders Reyn Ribeiro and Alfonso Lincoln Ribeiro, Jr., who served as Carson and McAllister's ring bearer.
With help from her wedding planning crew, Carson enjoyed the creative planning process. "I loved getting to pick the decor and the flowers," the new bride shared with The Knot. "I think that's what makes a wedding, and I got to use my creativity, which I love to do!" Carson's husband and father-in-law also contributed to the decor by building a candle centerpiece suspended from the ceiling.
L Floral Studio designed the bridal party's bouquets and floral decor for Carson and McAllister's special day. The reception took place at Noah's Event Venue in Lindon, Utah. The venue decor had a "rustic, woodsy" feel, which continued the couple's theme from their magical engagement photos.
The newlywed's receiving line took place from 6- 6:45 p.m., and the reception was from 6-8 p.m., leaving plenty of time for the lovebirds to reflect on their perfect wedding day.
According to State Street Feed and Supply Caterers' Facebook, "Witney Carson's wedding guests enjoyed prime rib, salmon, grilled chicken for dinner and a delicious hot cobbler bar for dessert!" Sugar Kisses created the naked wedding cake which was presented on top of a tree stump.
Guests were also treated to Sugar Kisses cupcakes, which included flavors like "chocolate grasshopper" and "red velvet." Tying in the winter wonderland theme, a hot chocolate station by Styled by Jenni was available to guests. Carson was sure to offer plenty of sweet treats to her closest friends and family.
Carson and McAllister's wedding day wouldn't be complete without a post-ceremony dance. "My favorite moment of the day was [when] Witney and Carson broke out into a 30 second fully choreographed routine after their first dance," Russo (pictured below with the newlyweds) told us. "It totally set the tone for the rest of the wedding reception, which was fun, fun, fun!" Despite her perfect, form-fitting dress, we just knew the DWTS professional would show off some moves.
But it was an unexpected moment that touched the new bride's heart. "My favorite part of the day was when my cousin read a note from my brother Jaxon (who's in France)," she recalled. "It was so heartfelt and honestly made me feel like he was there." McKenna Fullmer shot the couple's wedding video, which is surely filled with memories they will continue to relive for years to come.
This happy couple sure knew how to kick off 2016. Congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs. Carson McAllister! May the dance continue for a lifetime to come.
5 Comments on "Witney Carson and Carson McAllister's Wedding Photos"
Beautiful wedding.. I follow Mr. Russo's wedding.. He does an incredible job!
On the bridesmaids' picture, the first girl from left to right is Jenna Johnson, one of Witney's best friends and also a dancer from DWTS !!
Yeah, you guys missed that at least 4 (not 3) of the bridesmaids are on DWTS. You definitely missed Jenna. There might be another one, too. I love that her dress is long sleeved and modest…very classy and beautiful. It's not what we are used to seeing on brides these days, and I really like it. She has to wear such skimpy outfits for her job, I'll bet she was more than thrilled to cover up….. for the very least that it was well below freezing that day.
Whitney is LDS (Mormon). LDS brides go the modest route because they have to look modest for their "sealing" ceremony inside the temple. So it really wasn't by choice. But regardless, her dress is really pretty!
Such a beautiful wedding and to have it on the winter time looked beautiful. Can you tell me where Witney Carson got her heels from? I want them. So happy she had beautiful wedding and she looked like a princess on her big day. Everyone dreams to be like that!

Defense Secretary Austin tests positive for COVID-19 – Breaking Defense Breaking Defense
Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin has tested positive for COVID-19. (DoD photo by Chad J. McNeeley)
WASHINGTON: Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has tested positive for COVID-19, the Pentagon announced Sunday evening.
Austin is experiencing "mild" symptoms and will be quarantined at home for five days, according to a statement released by the department. Austin is now the highest profile member of the Biden administration to contract the virus, which has spiked around the country in recent weeks, thanks to the Omicron variant. (At least anecdotally, cases at the Pentagon itself seem to be matching that spike, though the Pentagon's statement didn't say which version of the virus infected Austin.)
In his comments, the Pentagon leader sought to downplay any potential impact on department operations.
"Stemming the spread of this virus, safeguarding our workforce and ensuring my own speedy and safe recovery remain my priorities. To the degree possible, I plan to attend virtually this coming week those key meetings and discussions required to inform my situational awareness and decision making. I will retain all authorities. Deputy Secretary Hicks will represent me as appropriate in other matters," Austin said in the statement.
"I have informed my leadership team of my positive test result, as well as the President," Austin said, noting that his last meeting with President Joe Biden was on Dec. 21, well before he began having symptoms. "My staff has begun contact tracing and testing of all those with whom I have come into contact over the last week."
RELATED: Pentagon stops implementing vaccine mandate for defense contractors
His positive test comes as the military services, under Austin's directive, are beginning the process of separating servicemembers who have refused to be vaccinated. As a result, his infection is likely to be seized upon by anti-vaccination activists within the military community who claim, falsely, that vaccinations are not effective against the disease. It's something Austin seemed aware in his commentary.
"As my doctor made clear to me, my fully vaccinated status — and the booster I received in early October — have rendered the infection much more mild than it would otherwise have been. And I am grateful for that," Austin said. "The vaccines work and will remain a military medical requirement for our workforce. I continue to encourage everyone eligible for a booster shot to get one. This remains a readiness issue."

And Lafferty is loving it: "We've been underdogs from the first preliminary round, nobody expected us to get this far," he said.
The Lilywhites prepared for Saturday's semi-final clash against Glossop North End in perfect fashion on Wednesday as they beat top of the table Saltash United 4-0.
With a clean bill of health, Lafferty will have the whole squad to choose from and has targeted a home win, to put them in a good position for the second leg.
"We want to get a home win, show them our intent."
Club Secretary Peter Beard has praised the work the manager has been doing.
"Phil has been fantastic," Beard commented. "We didn't even contemplate getting this far when we entered the competition at the start of the season.
"To be at this stage in our development this early, it's great"
Phil Lafferty AFC St Austell manager
"Getting this far is wonderful, but reaching the final would be beyond our wildest dreams."
Lafferty has enjoyed a remarkable first full season in charge of the club, making the Lilywhites title challengers and FA Vase giant killers.
"When I took the job I set myself a three year target of winning the league but to be at this stage in our development this early, it's great.
"But we haven't won anything yet."

Schwab Employees in Phoenix Mobilize for Week of Community Service
More Than 2,000 Schwab Employees Nationwide to Donate Thousands of Hours to Nonprofits and Municipal Organizations
Monday, May 11, 2009 8:30 am PDT
PHOENIX--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Charles Schwab's Phoenix employees have begun participating in Schwab Employee Volunteer Week in which 13 community-focused nonprofit organizations in Phoenix, Mesa and Tempe will receive hundreds of hours of hands-on service from approximately 300 local Schwab employees. The companywide event, which in previous years was confined to just one business day in May, will span a full week this year. More than 2,000 Schwab employees and executives across the U.S. have signed up to participate in a total of approximately 120 projects from today through Friday, May 15, contributing an aggregate of over 9,000 work hours for the benefit of some 110 nonprofit and municipal organizations.
In Phoenix, the nonprofits were selected by the employees themselves based on the community service they provide. Over the course of the week, Schwab's local employees will perform the following volunteer activities:
Assisting the Employment Services Department with a financial education workshop, job interview training and career preparation at the Central Arizona Shelter Services (CASS);
Painting and landscaping homes on behalf of Homeward Bound;
Assembling care packages with personal hygiene items for seniors at Valle del Sol;
Painting and cleaning a home in preparation of a new family moving in for Save the Family Foundation of Arizona;
Socializing animals and assisting with maintenance at Arizona Animal Welfare League;

Preparing and bagging sandwiches for the working poor, homeless, unemployed and disenfranchised on behalf of Society of St. Vincent de Paul;
Recording messages of support for members of the armed forces and helping with administrative tasks for Recording for the Blind and Dyslexic's Tribute for Troops program.
"Over the past five years, the numbers of participants in 'Schwab Volunteer Day' have steadily grown, but what we heard from employees was that the event should be expanded to more cities, and that we should also try to accommodate more employees' schedules," said Carrie Schwab-Pomerantz, president of Charles Schwab Foundation. "We took that feedback to heart, and this year's Schwab Volunteer Week was designed to give more Schwabbies around the country the opportunity to participate in Schwab's great legacy of community giving."
"We are advocates for our clients through all the ways in which we serve them," said Walt Bettinger, president and chief executive officer of The Charles Schwab Corporation. "In a similar way, we strive to serve the communities we do business in day to day. While our commitment to community service is ongoing, Schwab Volunteer Week offers employees a special opportunity to team up with their colleagues on a variety of projects that make an immediate impact right in the communities where they live."
In addition to volunteering, employee teams may also apply for a Volunteer Team grant of up to $1,000 from Charles Schwab Foundation to benefit the organizations for which they're providing hands-on, direct service.
Nationally, Schwab employees are volunteering at a diverse selection of organizations including:
Middle schools and high schools
Animal welfare and rescue organizations
A wide variety of organizations dedicated to providing health, social and human services to seniors, children, women and families
Municipal parks, shorelines, gardens and recreation areas

Anna October, shown at Ukraine's Kiev Fashion Days, paints an upcoming Fall season that while cold, will be ever present with elegance. Anna's luxe getups gracing the Kiev runway are visibly supple, speaking to the high quality of the silk fabrication in use. The aesthetic is pulled-together, modern, and rich, with a dark and sophisticated color palette of black, navy, rust, gold, and pewter.
Texture comes into play to keep even the most basic of ensembles, all black for instance, from becoming boring. Iridescent-threaded trims add opulence, while shimmering chevron stripes play up modest necklines and voluminous skirts.
While we're talking about sheen, the metallic pieces in this collection are absolute showstoppers. The fluid movement exhibited by both the gold pantsuit and the pewter dress is impressive. Such heavily foiled fabrications if improperly spun can be rigid and difficult to mold, but that was far from the case at Anna October. Only malleable metals for her, speaking volumes to the level of craftsmanship achieved by Anna as a designer.
Tinseled head-to-toe looks give a nod to the Flapper Age when women defied boundaries and explored their independence. The show grows in this way as well, starting out conservative, taking a turn for the uber-modern, and then ending on a feminine note.
This collection is for the woman who appreciates dressing to the nines, a skill that is second nature to Eastern European women. Holiday parties are the perfect calling for Anna October's dapper designs. Go on, don one of Anna's fabulous furnishings this Fall, and while you're at it, don't forget to break all the rules.
