Re: Bond girls / artists for theme song
Coolidge, apart from Kris Kristofferson had four consecutive top 25 hits in the late 70's. Re Lulu, in the US she probably is seen as a 60's one hit wonder with "To Sir With Love" but in the UK she was a big star. A-ha were a pop flavour of the month and had a #1 album in England (#15 in the US). Shirley Bassey was a recording star in the UK since the late 50's and later had crossover success in the US. We of course know her for the great Bond themes she performed but she had #1 and top 25 hits prior to Goldfinger. She was also a hugely popular live entertainer. Matt Monroe was big in England and Europe in the 50's and 60's. He was more of a remnant of the big band era Sinatra style of pop singer.

thanks Howard, good to set those names in context.
I think, with the exception of Paul McCartney, recording a Bondtheme may end up being the one thing some of these folks are remembered for in the long run, no matter how big they were at the time.

I think a-ha's fame in the US is different from the rest of he world. In the US they're a one-hit wonder. In much of the rest of the world they had a series of big hits in the 1980's and the group can still fill stadiums in Europe and South America.

That's true. I would venture to say that they probably wouldn't have gotten the Bond theme unless they had success in the US.
With the internet and the ability to download music, I would think that bands, singers, etc would find it much easier to get international exposure these days.
Morten Harket in a-ha actually sang in the wedding of a former aquaintance of mine. We knew each other from school when we were in our late teens. he was sort of the local Morten Harket - he sang solo in the christian youth choir and he was very handsome. At parties 5-10 of the pretties girls sat in tight semi-circle around him. I wasn't at the wedding, but I have no doubt the bride was stunningly beautiful.

does B-list mean fame or talent?
Rita Coolidge was a somebody, but I think better known as a back-up singer and for her involvement with more famous boyfriends.
A lot of these performers may seem more obscure as time moves along
for example I have no idea who Matt Monroe, Lulu or A-ha are
and I'm not sure Shirley Bassey was much of a somebody before she was asked to sing Goldfinger. Wikipedia shows she had been recording for almost a decade, but I think her reputation in the longrun is based on performing that one song at the height of Bondmania.
I'm not sure where you are, but all of those artists are all still remembered in the U.K. (although maybe you have to be a certain age). I don't know if they made it across the pond (although I'm fairly sure Take On Me was a worldwide hit).
Coolidge I have only ever heard of because she did Octopussy.
I wouldn't think so, no. It's more like folks finding out 'oh, I didn't realise Lulu did a Bond theme'.

Imo, the one most likely to be forgotten outside of her Bond song is Sheena Easton.
The ones most people will forget did a Bond song: Madonna, Tina Turner/U2, Gladys Knight (The Pips!), Sheryl Crow, Garbage, Sam Smith, Jack White and Alicia Keys, A-ha, Chris Cornell. A-ha will forever be remembered for Take On Me (especially because of the video). Cornell will be remembered as one of the key creators of the most important musical sound of the 90s with Soundgarden.
Duran Duran and Tom Jones were bigger than their respective Bond songs. But, imho, the Bond gig totally fit with who they were at the time so the association will be remembered.
Then there are the artists who made the Bond song their own: McCartney, Carley Simon, Armstrong. The film association is almost forgotten but the song lives on.
Shirley Bassey is in a class by herself. Not sure where to put Adele yet. And I don't really know enough about the others (Lulu, Nancy Sinatra, Monro, etc) to comment.

I think Bassey is tethered to her Bond legacy more than any other Bond Theme artist.

I dunno; she's still quite well remembered as a pop star and her work with Prince means she's not likely to be completely forgotten. It's still Coolidge for me: the only one I couldn't name another song by.

Coolidge does a cover of "Your love lifts me higher(than I've been before)" which is an absolute delight of a 70s song. First heard it in a car trip on one of those golden oldie radio stations. Naturally this was after I knew of all time high (which is probably the bond song I sing out loud the most, if that's saying anything).
I understand she was a favourite of Barbara Broccoli at the time and that's how she got the job

I was a teen in the early eighties, but tried hard to avoid mainstream pop all through the decade and definitely did not notice who A-ha were by 1989.
Actually this Sam Smith I have no idea who he is either, but all the others in between I think I knew. But it does depend on how much attention one chooses to pay to mainstream pop, I know I'm the weirdo.
And I don't really know enough about the others (Lulu, Nancy Sinatra, Monro, etc) to comment.
Nancy I definitely know, she's Frank's daughter, most famous for These Boots Are Made for Walking. She did a duet with her father called Something Stupid, and a whole string of vaguely psychedelic country records with a songwriter named Lee Hazelwood, who sounded like Johnny Cash. look for a song called Some Velvet Morning, trippy stuff. ...Morning and ...Boots.., used to be jukebox mainstays in the downtown hipster bars when I was growing up avoiding mainstream pop.

is it true Lana del Rey will release a New albumin a couple of months? I so I'll buy it and hopefully so will very many more people. That way her chances of singing the title song will go up. Sperhaps my favourite for that job.

I read that Cubby actually approached Frank Sinatra to perform the YOLT Theme (Cubby and Frank apparently were friends). Frank wasn't interested but recommended his daughter Nancy who had a big hit w/ "Boots". Apparently the recording sessions for YOLT were difficult as Nancy did not have a ton of range and the version of the song in the film was cobbled together piece meal from hundreds of takes. Obviously the final product is quite good and YOLT is a great Bond theme song and a fabulous score.

Anyone have any updates on who is writing the score? Is it still Dan Romer? There was a rumor he was no longer involved, but he is still credited on IMDB.
How about the title song artist? I am editing my original post, as I did the bit of research I should have done in the first place! For those who, like myself, have forgotten, Adele was actually only confirmed as the singer of the "Skyfall" theme a couple of weeks before the film opened. In fact, there had previously been a lot of denial by her that she would be involved at all. Also, the song dropped within a day or so of the announcement.
So there ya go...

Good news for many Bond fans: Ed Sheeran is taking a long break from his music career after working non-stop for some years. The way I interpret it is that this makes it unlikely that Sheeran will sing the title song for NTTD since EON are likely to pick an artist who will work hard next year to promote the song and the Movie

Thats a relief. Enough Beige Pop in the world and dull Troubadour types. Some punishing Techno/EDM channeling the spirit of LALD
now that would be something. If they must go Radio 2 and I guess they do, Laura Mulva could be a good choice.

Dr. Lydia Inman Fjeld Scholarship Established
Dr. Lydia Inman Fjeld
Dr. Lydia Inman Fjeld gave selflessly to Truman throughout her life. She arrived at the University in 1973 after accepting the position of head of the Division of Home Economics. Shortly thereafter, in 1975, she was named dean of graduate studies, a position she occupied until her retirement in 1983.
Inman Fjeld provided strong leadership at a pivotal time in the University's history. At her retirement banquet, Deena Fowler ('75) delivered an address where she shared her observation that, "Dr. Inman fostered our growth, as well as her growth. She focused on others' strengths rather than on their shortcomings. She uncorked human resources rather than keeping the lid on."
Some of the many honors over the course of Inman Fjeld's career include being named a General Foods Fund Fellow while a student at the University of Minnesota, earning a listing in the 1975 edition of Outstanding Educators of America and receiving the 1977 Merit Award from the Dairy Council of Greater Kansas City.
While Inman Fjeld's service to the University ended in 1983, her role as one of Truman's benefactors had just begun. In 1988, she added the moniker of Philanthropic Fellow to her many accomplishments. This designation was publicly recognized by then-University President, Dr. Charles J. McClain at the annual John R. Kirk induction ceremonies. The foundation that Inman Fjeld and her colleagues helped create and strengthen through their charitable giving contributed to the transformation of Truman into the nationally recognized university it is today.
Inman Fjeld passed away March 13, 2015, at the age of 96. Through her estate, she has contributed $25,000 to the Truman State University Foundation to fund the Dr. Lydia Inman Fjeld Scholarship Endowment. Her generosity will ensure that her passion for fostering growth and uncorking human potential will continue through the scholarship she created.

A Son Honors His Parents
Essie (Kelley) and Harry Gardner
Alumnus Mark Gardner ('75), of Springfield, Mo., embodies the Truman spirit by actively caring for the people around him and for the world. Fueled by his desire to make a difference in the lives of others, he endowed the Harry M. and Essie M. Gardner Scholarship through the Truman State University Foundation.
The scholarship, which Mark named in honor of his parents, Harry and Essie (Kelley) Gardner, will be presented to Truman students in the spirit of the Gardner family's passion for lifelong learning and their belief that education is the foundation of civilized society.
Mark's mother, Essie, who was the first member of her family to attend college, took summer classes at Truman for four years in the early 1940s to earn her teaching certification. Known for her hard work, sacrifice and remarkable sense of selflessness, Essie taught school until she married Harry, then worked outside the home once their oldest child went to college to help finance their educations.
Essie felt it was important to pursue higher education and strongly encouraged her five children to do the same — a vision that her husband supported through his own tireless work and sacrifice. Harry passed away several years ago, and Essie lives in Edina, Mo., a small town about 25 miles east of Kirksville.
Like his mother, Mark has strong ties to Truman. In 1975, he graduated from the University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in political science, and two years later he earned a law degree from the University of Missouri-Kansas City.
Following college and law school, Mark has led an impressive career. For many years, he represented clients in the areas of business law, commercial law, real estate development and real estate finance. Then around 20 years ago, he formed Gardner Capital, a company that has grown into one of the nation's foremost tax credit development, investment and syndication firms. Specializing in affordable housing development, Gardner Capital has sponsored more than $500 million of equity in housing units in 55 communities. The company also invests in renewable energy production facilities and construction
Investing in a scholarship at Truman ensures that the Gardner family's vision of using education to make a better world will live on through future students.
Leone-Patterson Scholarship Established
Prospective students from Kansas, Nebraska and other western states now have an added incentive to attend Truman.
A gift from Ann and Gary Patterson of Wichita, Kan., and their son, Tyler, has created a scholarship endowment with the Truman State University Foundation.
The Leone-Patterson Endowed and Annual Scholarship is designed for students from those states who have unmet need, have active involvement and leadership in extra-curricular activities and a minimum high school grade point average of 3.25.
The scholarship will be utilized by the Office of Admissions as a recruitment scholarship to encourage students to attend Truman.
Ann (Leone) Patterson is a 1972 Truman graduate and serves as director of operations for the Patterson Legal Group in Wichita. Her husband, Gary, is the founder and managing partner of the firm. She is a member of the Board of Directors of the Truman State University Alumni Association and has been an advocate for students attending Truman from her geographic region.
Tyler Patterson is a 2006 graduate of Truman and is a trial attorney with the Patterson Legal Group, representing accident victims and their families. He received an MBA degree from the University of Texas and a law degree from Washburn University.
Fund Honors Professor's Commitment
Vera Gomez-Piper (left) and Lucy Lee
Summer 2012 was Vera Gomez-Piper's final year leading the Costa Rica Summer Program after having taught at Truman since 1978. The Vera Gomez-Piper Endowed Scholarship Fund was established to honor her upon her retirement from Truman while perpetuating life-changing study abroad experiences for deserving students. Since its inception in late 2012, this endowment has received gifts and pledges totaling $31,559. Donations have come from alumni, colleagues, community members, family and Spanish honor society Sigma Delta Pi. Lucy Lee, professor of Spanish and Classical and Modern Languages Department chair, and Ruth Bradshaw, assistant professor emerita of English, spearheaded the fundraising effort. This new Foundation fund expands educational opportunities for students by securing new scholarship resources, thereby providing greater access to outside-the-classroom experiences.
This fund also serves as a meaningful and lasting expression of respect for this beloved faculty member and friend. It is an expression of gratitude for the remarkable contributions that Gomez-Piper has made to Truman and to countless students' lives. Through education, she has helped eliminate the barriers of language while increasing an understanding of the traditions, history and values of two distinct cultures. Gomez-Piper has not only built skills, knowledge and confidence among her students, but has built lasting and meaningful relationships between her students, her colleagues and the people of two nations that she now calls home.
"For me personally, it has been exciting because I was able to see students learn so fast and become part of the family and enjoy being in Costa Rica," Gomez-Piper said. "It is a great satisfaction because many of them go back to visit their families in Costa Rica."
Ruth Bradshaw unveils the amount donated
to the Vera Gomez-Piper Endowed Scholarship as of September 2013 during a reception for Gomez-Piper.
The Vera Gomez-Piper Endowed Scholarship is a reflection of a deep affection and appreciation for this educator who has served as a pioneer in providing study abroad opportunities to Truman students. This scholarship fund will support Gomez-Piper's profound legacy in perpetuity. The financial helping hand this award represents offers access to the transformative experience of study abroad.
Tag Day Celebrates Donors
Thanksgiving came early to the Truman campus with the first celebration of Tag Day. Held in conjunction with National Philanthropy Day, Nov. 15, Tag Day celebrated the impact of private donations on the Truman experience. Items made possible by gifts to the University were marked with tags thanking Truman donors. More than 200 items across campus were tagged, including computer labs, campus gardens and outdoor sculptures, classrooms, locker rooms and more.
Students Kaitie Otto (left) and Abagale Casagrande show off two of the many tags that were placed
around campus to highlight donor contributions.
Much of the money donated to the University enriches the student experience in important, but less tangible, ways. For example, the University awarded more than $579,000 in Foundation scholarships to 559 students last year alone. Intangible items supported by donors, such as scholarships, student travel stipends for conferences and faculty development programs, were identified with signs across campus.
Tag Day was held to increase student awareness of the impact donors have on students' education and to give students the opportunity to say thanks. Student Senate partnered with the Office of Advancement to sponsor a thank you note writing table in the Student Union Building. Students wrote thank you notes to donors for their support of the University and the student experience at Truman. For more information on Tag Day, visit tagday.truman.edu.
Scholarship Funds Honor Faculty Couple, Colleagues
John and Jane Bartling
Between them, John and Jane Bartling taught and mentored hundreds of Truman students within their respective Mathematics and Health and Exercise Science departments. Both Hannibal, Mo., natives, their collective Truman teaching careers spanned 61 years.
To recognize and commemorate this long and impactful record of service to students and the campus community, Dr. John S. Bartling recently made a gift of securities valued at nearly $65,000 to establish four new scholarship funds with the Truman State University Foundation.
One scholarship honors his late wife, Jane Bartling, who passed away in the spring of 2013. Two others honor Jane's colleagues and life-long friends, Regina Lindhorst and Jo Ann Weekley. The fourth honors Dr. Bartling's 31-year mathematics teaching career.
The Jane Bartling Memorial Scholarship was established to memorialize and commemorate Jane's distinguished teaching career at Truman. Jane received BSE and MA degrees from the University and shortly thereafter began a 30-year teaching career in physical education. She retired in 1998 and passed away in the spring of 2013. She was a member of many professional organizations, including the American Association of Health, Physical Education and Recreation, Delta Kappa Gamma and was a sponsor of the student chapter of the Missouri State Teachers Association at Truman. This fund is designed to provide opportunities for full-time students who are majoring in health and exercise science at Truman and have a record of achievement and service in extra-curricular or community groups and organizations.
The Regina Lindhorst and Jo Ann Weekley scholarships were established to honor two of Jane Bartling's colleagues and life-long friends. Lindhorst received a BSE and MA from the University and taught dance courses at Truman from 1963 to 2005. Weekley received a BSE and MA from Truman and taught courses in physical education from 1966 to 2005. Both scholarships will support exercise science students at Truman.
The Dr. John S. Bartling Mathematics Scholarship was created to commemorate his long and memorable career at Truman. Dr. Bartling taught mathematics at the University from 1967 to 1998. He was selected Educator of the Year in 1977 by Alpha Phi Sigma. The purpose of this fund shall be to provide scholarship support to students majoring in mathematics, with preference for students from the Hannibal area.
Sharing the Gift of Knowledge
Doris (Pierce) Fuller in the 1934 Echo yearbook
A legacy gift to Truman State University commemorates the life of Doris (Pierce) Fuller,
a Truman alumna who was committed to lifelong learning. "She was an amazing woman, never at rest," said her son, Charles Fuller. A planned gift made by Doris was designated to the Truman Endowment Fund, a permanent resource designed to provide funds for a variety of purposes, including student scholarships, professional development for faculty and students, technology, equipment and other needs.
Born in Shelbina, Mo., Doris earned a bachelor of science degree in education from the University in 1934. She then taught for two years. In 1936, she married Arthur "Bud" Fuller, a country doctor who served the farming communities. Since her husband's job took him away from home for days at a time, Doris became his medical assistant and midwife so they could travel together. In one year alone, they delivered more than 300 babies and took care of many broken bones and the occasional at-home surgery.
In addition to their son, Charles, Doris and Bud had a daughter, Johnna. In 1964, the family moved to Colorado Springs, Colo. Charles remembers his mother saying, "No point in living in Colorado if you don't know how to ski," and at the age of 55, Doris took up snow skiing.
Doris became a strong advocate of her husband's osteopathic profession, professional women and seniors, and she served in both leadership and supportive roles in the Osteopathic Women's Guild, Women's Club, Acacia and AARP.
Since she never had a driver's license, Doris took the local bus into town saying that it allowed her to ride with "real people." She was a dedicated volunteer, and up until her mid-80s, she took the bus each week to serve food at a local charity. Doris also sewed on buttons for elderly ladies, many of whom were 20 years her junior.
An incident that occurred when Doris was 70 illustrates her tenacious spirit. One day when she and a friend were hiking in the high mountains on the south slope of Pikes Peak, Doris slipped and fractured her ankle. It was late in the afternoon, and the friend had to walk three miles to the car to seek help. When help finally arrived after dark, they found Doris had splinted her own leg, found a stick for support and was walking out on a compound fracture. She said, "I couldn't stay up here overnight or I'd freeze to death." Nearly three decades later, Doris died at the age of 98.
Doris believed in having fun and enjoying life to its fullest. By including a provision in her will to boost the Truman Endowment Fund, she has provided a resource that offers the gift of knowledge for future generations of Truman students.
Speech and Hearing Clinic Campaign Surpasses Goal
Murilyn Koutstaal poses with a poster celebrating the endowed study abroad scholarship created in honor of her late husband, Cornelis Koutstaal.
To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Speech and Hearing Clinic, the University conducted a "Give $50 for the 50th" fundraising campaign with the goal of generating $50,000. After approximately a year of accepting donations, the campaign concluded in February 2013 with a grand total of $100,000 raised in cash, pledges and planned gift commitments.
"The outstanding results of the 'Give $50 for the 50th' fundraising campaign demonstrate the community's willingness to invest in the Truman Speech and Hearing Clinic and its efforts to provide ongoing state-of-the-art speech-language-hearing and literacy services," said Janet Gooch, dean of the School of Health Sciences and Education. "These results are also evidence of a deeply imbedded passion that our donors possess for improving our community."
Truman's Speech and Hearing Clinic has been helping residents from Kirksville and the surrounding area since 1960. In November 2011, it was moved into new facilities located in the Truman Health Sciences Building. The clinic serves individuals with disorders of speech, language, voice, fluency, hearing and swallowing, all at no cost to the people served. No-cost clinics are rare due to the necessary heavy reliance on donations. The Speech and Hearing Clinic provides services thanks to the support of the University and community organizations.
The Speech and Hearing Clinic also offers hands-on learning for Truman students. Students observe therapy, then become clinical assistants and eventually assume the responsibilities of student clinicians. Because student learning is a key component of the Speech and Hearing Clinic, it was also a high priority of the fundraising campaign.
The centerpiece of the campaign was the establishment of the Dr. Cornelis Koutstaal Endowed Study Abroad Scholarship, which was established by Murilyn Koutstaal, to honor the legacy of her late husband. Cornelis Koutstaal served as professor of communication disorders and head of the Human Potential and Performance Division at Truman from 1990-2001 and was honored with emeritus status upon his retirement.

Points are valuable in all forms of our lives. National Premier Leagues 2 Womens is no different with three sides separated by only a single point, whilst slim margins may decide the rest of the top five with three rounds to go.
So we're set to go for another thrilling round of NPL2 Womens action! Let's get into the review!
Getting to the crunch fixtures, Gladesville needs to keep winning and welcome a tricky opponent in St George FC, to Christie Park on Sunday afternoon.
Both teams come into the contest in form. Gladesville Ravens have rebounded well in their success over Southern Branch FC, while St George FC showed their character in a superb comeback against UNSW FC to register their tenth point.
The key for St George's resurrection has been their industrious attitude. They have taken it to their much more heralded opponents, then turning their chances into goals through Lara Nicholls and Grace Ha. This will definitely have the Ravens on edge.
One is the loneliest number. It is also the lead the Ravens have over the chasing Stallions and Nepean FC, so they will need their stars to fly high. Emily Diaz has taken the headlines in recent weeks with a hat-trick and some late heroics, so if she can continue her purple patch we're in for an exciting clash in the north of Sydney.
Momentum can be a strange concept. Through the season both these sides have had it, now SD Raiders head to Concord Oval, in search of it before the finals, as time starts to run out.
Inter Lions had some momentum through the middle of the season, although it has evaporated with their heavy loss to title contenders, Central Coast. For SD Raiders it was another vital point in a finals-like affair with Nepean FC.
SD Raiders do have 30+ goals on the bench but their coach, Matt Constantini is confident in the replacements including Kiara Coscia who scored her first senior goal alongside livewire forward Logan Garard and Kasia Wojtowicz will keep Lions keeper Natasha Pentecost busy on Sunday afternoon.
Much like it was regaining that winning feeling for UNSW FC a few weeks back, Inter Lions need to get themselves back in the win column. These two played a cagey affair last time out, so expect similar as both scratch and claw for points in the run home.
Buoyed by matching the competition leaders, Western NSW Mariners welcome Nepean FC out to Mudgee, looking to play spoiler once again, in the final three weeks.
The Mariners who have run hot and cold this season, were red hot against Olympic FC, and a late Lieke De Bever penalty cruelled them of a heroic draw. Similar can be said for a Nepean FC side with more draws than Mr Squiggle after they let a late lead slip against SD Raiders.
That result left Nepean FC on the outside looking in. The women from the foot of the mountains have mirrors the 90s cult classic song as they keep getting knocked down but get up again. Through the toughest part of their schedule, Tasses will want Stefanie Trovato, Bianca Galayini and co to fire to take them back into the top five.
For Western NSW, it is about finishing strongly. Their last three games are at home, against Nepean FC and Marconi means they could possibly shape how the final five might end up. With their defense being hard to break down, Sunday could come down to whether Nepean FC bring their shooting boots.
Sunday looms as a huge afternoon for the Stallions, as they face the Mariners at home.
With the Stallions finals hope on the line, Marconi need three points to stay alive.
The home side have found themselves in this position courtesy of a 3-1 loss to APIA on Sunday night, that puts them seventh.
For the Mariners, it is all systems go as they swept aside Inter Lions.
Marconi have had a rollercoaster second season in NPL2 Womens, but they remain in the hunt. A finals appearance could add some gloss to that season, also the form of Jess Beale and Demelza Howard could take them to the promised land. They were blanked last time against the yellow and navy, meaning finding the back of the net will be crucial for the team.
Central Coast have their finals spot secured, but just like the Raiders, they'll want to take momentum into the knockout rounds. Another handy weapon for them has 35 goals and comes in the form of Candice Phelan. The golden boot prospect will be hoping to secure her chances of the converted award.
The Mariners offensive talent will take them a long way this season, so we could be in for a shootout at the Marconi corrall.
Ten clear at the top, Sydney Olympic FC have their eye on the prize, looking to finish the season undefeated, starting by taking on the bottom side, Southern Branch FC, this weekend at Peter Moore Field.
It was a scratchy performance but it was another three points banked for Olympic FC as they took down Western NSW in Bathurst. Southern Branch were game but fell victim to Gladesville Ravens 4-1 in the first of their last two away trips for the season.
The biggest chase left for Sydney Olympic is the race between Lieke De Bever and Candice Phelan for the golden boot trophy. Since De Bever moved upfront, the striker has flourished and sits six behind the Mariners marksman, meaning she will be primed to bag a huge haul against a side that has conceded 95 goals this season.
This weekend's night cap takes us to Maroubra, the students host APIA Leichhardt at Heffron Synthetic Field, with the visitors aiming to confirm their finals spot.
Frustration once again reared it's head for UNSW FC, they followed up their impressive thrashing with a 3-1 surrender against lowly St George FC. The visitors rediscovered their form with back-to-back victories, they also won 3-1, against Marconi.
When these two bumped heads UNSW gave the Tigers trouble in the first half before APIA showed heart in turning it around 2-1 with Christina Ferreyra and Nicole Carmichael with the two second half strikes. As mentioned earlier, a similar result Sunday night confirms finals football for the Tigers.
APIA have managed to incorporate some of their young stars including Hannah Macri and Alina Stojcevski to aide their firepower upfront led by Ash Palombi, who has had a powerful debut season, making this a tough test for the students.
Renato Jelen hopes that the UNSW side that piled in the goals against Gladesville show up, not the side that lost the previous ten outings. For their cause, Amy Altman remains a threat in front of goal with nine for the season, so we're set for a brilliant finish to a thrilling weekend of action.

Tiny Game Boy racks up big sales
Nintendo's latest does better than expected in Japanese debut, though not quite up to the SP's opening.
By Brendan Sinclair on September 13, 2005 at 11:10AM PDT
Nintendo's new Game Boy Micro has hit store shelves in Japan but isn't staying there long, according to Reuters.
One electronics store clerk in Tokyo reported that 70 percent of the store's initial stock had been devoted to filling preorders, with the limited-edition Micro styled after the Famicom (the Japanese version of the NES) accounting for most of the preorders. Four other colors of the Micro were available for the Japanese launch: silver, purple, black, and blue.
Despite the strong showing for the Micro, a clerk told Reuters it doesn't appear so far to measure up to the Game Boy Advance SP's launch, when the entirety of the launch stock was presold out.
The Micro is being targeted at an older generation of gamers than previous Game Boy models, looking to hit a technology-obsessed, gadget-loving crowd with disposable income who would be attracted to the unit's sleek design. It will release in the US September 19 in black and silver versions, each of which will come with three interchangeable faceplates and a $99.99 price tag.

People For the American Way Resurrects 25-year-old Ad for "Justice Sunday"
People For the American Way Foundation (PFAWF) has updated a 25-year-old ad in the face of increasing attempts to manipulate religion for political gain by Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, including his planned appearance as part of "Justice Sunday" and his looming threat to deploy the "nuclear option" to eliminate the filibuster.
"The ad is a reminder that Americans value religious tolerance and diversity, and a rebuke to those radical right leaders who suggest that you can't be a good Christian unless you share their political views," said Ralph G. Neas, PFAWF President. "That message was important 25 years ago, and even more important today, when we see some of our nation's most powerful elected officials crossing the line. We need to seek bipartisan cooperation, not inflame political divisions with religious manipulation. As the ad says, that's not the American Way."
The original ad was written and produced in 1980 by legendary TV producer Norman Lear as a response to rising voices of intolerance from the radical religious right. Calls poured in, and the overwhelming response led to the formation of People For the American Way. The ad features a construction worker in a hard hat next to a forklift.
"Here come some preachers on the radio and TV and in the mail, telling us on a bunch of political issues that there's just one Christian position, and implying if we don't agree, we're not good Christians," runs the ad. " Maybe there's something wrong when people, even preachers, suggest other people aren't good Christians , depending on their political views."
Neas said the old ad has taken on new resonance as the radical right, joined by senior elected officials, attempts to intimidate federal judges:
This Sunday, Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist will appear with the Family Research Council's Tony Perkins and Focus on the Family's James Dobson in "Justice Sunday" an anti-filibuster simulcast to churches, called, "The Filibuster Against People Of Faith." (link)
House Majority Leader Tom DeLay has threatened retribution against the judges in the Schiavo case, and raised the specter of impeachment for Supreme Court justices for unspecified "bad behavior."
Senator John Cornyn suggested on the Senate floor that recent violent attacks against judges might be the result of frustration with their rulings.
"These are direct attacks on the wisdom of the founding fathers, who put a system of checks and balances into our government more than 200 years ago, and established an independent judiciary as the ultimate check on government power. We must not abandon the basic principles that protect our freedoms – no matter which political party holds power," Neas said.
He noted that hundreds of religious leaders have rebuked Frist for his support of the "Justice Sunday" simulcast, which is being promoted with inflammatory materials charging that the filibuster is being used to keep people of faith, particularly Christians, off the federal courts.

Q: Emacs: methods for debugging python I use emacs for all my code edit needs. Typically, I will use M-x compile to run my test runner which I would say gets me about 70% of what I need to do to keep the code on track however lately I've been wondering how it might be possible to use M-x pdb on occasions where it would be nice to hit a breakpoint and inspect things.
In my googling I've found some things that suggest that this is useful/possible. However I have not managed to get it working in a way that I fully understand.
I don't know if it's the combination of buildout + appengine that might be making it more difficult but when I try to do something like
M-x pdb
Run pdb (like this): /Users/twillis/projects/hydrant/bin/python /Users/twillis/bin/pdb /Users/twillis/projects/hydrant/bin/devappserver /Users/twillis/projects/hydrant/parts/hydrant-app/

Where .../bin/python is the interpreter buildout makes with the path set for all the eggs.
~/bin/pdb is a simple script to call into pdb.main using the current python interpreter
HellooKitty:hydrant twillis$ cat ~/bin/pdb
#! /usr/bin/env python

if __name__ == "__main__":
    import sys
    sys.version_info
    import pdb
    pdb.main()
HellooKitty:hydrant twillis$

.../bin/devappserver is the dev_appserver script that the buildout recipe makes for gae project and .../parts/hydrant-app is the path to the app.yaml
I am first presented with a prompt
Current directory is /Users/twillis/bin/
C-c C-f

Nothing happens but
HellooKitty:hydrant twillis$ ps aux | grep pdb
twillis    469 100.0  1.6   168488  67188 s002  Rs+   1:03PM   0:52.19 /usr/local/bin/python2.5 /Users/twillis/projects/hydrant/bin/python /Users/twillis/bin/pdb /Users/twillis/projects/hydrant/bin/devappserver /Users/twillis/projects/hydrant/parts/hydrant-app/
twillis    477   0.0  0.0  2435120    420 s000  R+    1:05PM   0:00.00 grep pdb
HellooKitty:hydrant twillis$

something is happening
C-x [space]

will report that a breakpoint has been set. But I can't manage to get get things going.
It feels like I am missing something obvious here. Am I?
So, is interactive debugging in emacs worthwhile? is interactive debugging a google appengine app possible? Any suggestions on how I might get this working?

A: Hmm.  You're doing this a little differently than I do.  I haven't experimented with your method.  I use the pdb library module directly, with no wrapper script, just using the "-m" python command-line option to tell python to run the module as a script.
To be excessively thorough, here's my sequence of operations:

*

*I hit Alt-X in EMACS, type "pdb", then return.

*EMACS prompts me with "Run pdb (like this):" and I type "python -m pdb myprogram.py".

*EMACS creates a debugger mode window for pdb, where I can give the debugger commands, and tracks the execution of the program in the source code.

I suppose it's possible there's some reason this doesn't work well with the appengine.  I recommend getting it working first with a trivial python program and once you know that's working, try stepping up to the full app.
In practice, I don't do much python debugging with pdb.  Most of my debugging is essentially "printf debugging", done inserting print statements into my unit tests and (occasionally) into the actual code.

Dance-drama retells episodes from Lord Krishna's life
From destroying demons to stealing young maidens' curd and butter, the well-known and most-loved episodes from the life of Lord Krishna were retold here in the dance-drama.
Titled 'Naatya-Katha: Krshna', the solo performance by by Padma Vibhushan winning Odissi dancer Sonal Mansingh was staged as part of the 19th Bharat Rang Mahotsav at Kamani auditorium here.
Written and directed by Mansingh, the production dramatised the ancient form of story-telling, with the danseuse's exemplary 'Abhinaya' and 'Mudras', complemented by her singing and narration skills.
"Storytelling or katha is an ancient art in every part of the world but in India it acquires extra dimensions by interlinking narrative stories, myths and legends," Mansingh said.
The danseuse also incorporated different devotional songs written by poets like Narsi Mehta and Meera among others to add to the fervour of the performance.
Starting from Krishna's early childhood, 72-year-old Mansingh enacted significant episodes from the Hindu God's life including the killing of 'Putana' the witch, 'Bakasur' the demon, and evil serpent king 'Kaaliya', besides several tales narrating his playful behaviour with 'gopis', his relation with mother Yashoda and brother Balaram.
She also recreated effortlessly the intensity of the Krishna's meeting with his poor childhood friend Sudama, using her expressive communicative style.
The performance was accompanied by music played on a variety of instruments like flute, pakhawaj, synthesizer, and tabla, besides miniature paintings in the background, that added to the "visual richness and delight" of the play.

March 7, 2022 - by Abby Weingarten
Career Integration & Entrepreneurship
Alumna Maxeme Tuchman '00—an award-winning, Miami-based entrepreneur and businesswoman—has been named the 2022 commencement speaker for New College of Florida.
She will give her address during an in-person ceremony at 7 p.m. Fri. May 20 on the College Hall bayfront.
Tuchman is the CEO and co-founder of Caribu—an interactive video-calling platform that helps kids have virtual playdates with family and friends when they cannot be physically together.
Caribu was one of Apple's 15 "Best Apps of 2020" and one of TIME Magazine's "Best Inventions," and made Fast Company's list of "World Changing Ideas." It was also one of the "Top 10 EdTech Companies to Watch" in Forbes, and became one of the most innovative startups in the world by winning the 1776 Global Challenge Cup.
Tuchman has been a winner or finalist in 30-plus pitch competitions, is the 59th Latina in the U.S. to raise more than $1 million in venture funding, and is the first Latinx founder to raise $1 million in equity crowdfunding. She has been recognized and honored as one of the "Top 100 Female Founders" by both Entrepreneur and Inc. Magazine.
She earned a bachelor's degree in political science and international studies at New College. She also holds a master's degree in public policy from the Harvard Kennedy School and a second master's degree in business administration from Harvard Business School.
Tuchman has said about New College: "The thing that New College teaches you is to really advocate for yourself, to think about your college career with a holistic approach, and to take risks. I wouldn't have had that agency elsewhere. I wouldn't have taken as much ownership of my education elsewhere."

(BRENTWOOD, NY) – Suffolk County Legislator Sam Gonzalez mobilized the community to collect much needed disaster supplies for the people of Puerto Rico following the series of earthquakes that recently struck an island still recovering from the wrath of Hurricane Maria.
Heeding the call for assistance from communities in Puerto Rico traumatized by the recent rash of earthquakes and tremors, local businesses, non-profit organizations, neighborhood activists, elected officials, and residents rallied at the district office of Legislator Gonzalez in Brentwood with emergency supplies.
It was all hands on deck as teams of volunteers collected, sorted, and packaged the myriad of donations that arrived by a steady stream of cars, vans, and trucks. The donations included all of the essentials, such as first aid kits, medicine, tents, tarps, canned food, thousands of bottles of water, batteries, flashlights, personal hygiene items, rope, blankets, and Meals Ready to Eat (MREs).
During the event, residents on the ground in the hardest hit areas of Puerto Rico called into the La Fiesta 98.5 FM radio simulcast to give first-hand accounts of the dire living conditions so many residents were enduring as tremors continue to hamper emergency response and humanitarian efforts. One caller recounted how residents were forced out of the coliseum where they sought shelter following one of the many aftershocks that struck the island in recent days.
"I could not stand idly by as fellow Americans living a few miles from our shores go without water to drink, food to eat, or a roof over their heads. It has been said that adversity does not build character, it reveals it. Such a tremendous outpouring of support reveals the true heart and soul of this community. Today, we are all Puerto Ricans," said Legislator Gonzalez.
"Neither rain or snow would have stopped the different organizations, community leaders, nor volunteers from dedicating their time and efforts to help those affected by these natural disasters. I thank Legislator Gonzalez for launching Hope in Motion in such short amount of time and applaud everyone's efforts in making this a successful event, said Candido Crespo, President of Puerto Rican Coalition For A Better Community.
"Loyal Chaplains are happy to help the Puerto Rican community in these difficult times and assisting Legislator Gonzalez's efforts; this is an opportunity to fulfill our mission of serving others. Puerto Rico we are with you," said Rose Estrada, General Director of Loyal Chaplains NY.

Home Life Fishing for compliments?
To pay to have your extremities gnawed on by flesh eating fish sounds like a rather unlikely concept. Yet it is exactly this, the so-called 'fish pedicure', which has become one of the fastest growing health and beauty trends of the last few years. Nicknamed the 'doctor fish', the Garra rufa is a small species of toothless carp indigenous to Turkey. Its curious ability to gently nibble away at hardened dead skin cells leaving smooth, healthy skin untouched has been harnessed in the treatment of skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis, as well as in the pursuit of smooth, youthful skin in the beauty industry.
Pioneered by beauty salons in Japan and the United States and popularised by high profile clients like Jessica Simpson, the craze took off last year in the UK with the opening of the first fish pedicure centres. Since then, tanks of hungry Garra rufa seem to have sprung up everywhere from airport departure lounges, to the Westgate centre, to Worcester College Ball.
Bolstered by curiosity, and the unsettling realization that my pathetic, cobble-weathered feet will soon be on view in a pair of flip flops on the Costa del Sol, I decide to give it a try at a recently opened branch of the fish pedicure chain store, 'Appy feet'.
My advance research reveals some conflicting issues. While fish spa fans hail the Garra rufa as the most exciting contemporary addition to natural and healthy beauty treatments, concerns have been raised over the potential of 'doctor fish' to spread infection from customer to customer, particularly from open wounds. As both a living creature and an expensive commodity, the fish cannot simply be sanitised or discarded after every single use as other beauty products can. The treatment has been banned in many American states, and although a report by the Health Protection Agency published in March this year stated that it found the risk of infection contracted through fish pedicures to be very low, it is currently conducting more detailed investigations.
Salons have defended the treatment, claiming that constant water filtration and draining tanks after use keeps conditions sanitary. I discover on arrival that my chosen store requires each customer to wash their feet and to fill in a form confirming that they are free of everything from HIV to fake tan before allowing them to put even a toe in the water.
When I am finally permitted to begin my treatment and cautiously dip my feet in the tank, the fish home in on every available area of skin within less than two seconds. Their feeding makes for a very peculiar tapping and tickling sensation which, while definitely not painful, is not what I would call enjoyable. I've never been that ticklish, but it is with difficulty that I fight the overwhelming instinct to pull my feet out as quickly as possible. I find myself unable to look down. Some deep breathing and pointed looking away is required for the first few minutes, as the idea that my toes are being chewed by several hundred fish is a little too much for my brain to handle. Thankfully the bizarre faces being pulled by my sister, whose feet are in the tank opposite, provide a hilarious and welcome distraction.
The brochure I picked up at the counter promises that the massaging effect will help to 'regulate the nervous system, relax the body… reduce fatigue' and even improve circulation. Although the weirdness of the tickly feeling subsides a little after five minutes, I cannot exactly relax. This might have started out as a luxury salon treatment for cloistered A-list celebs, but fish pedicure for the masses seems to be rather more a public affair. It's difficult to feel pampered when you're in the middle of a busy shopping centre sandwiched between River Island and Debenhams with your jeans rolled up to your knees and your feet in a glass box full of carp. Several shoppers even stop to have a giggle, to ask how it feels, or if it's my 'first time'.
The 'doctor fish' do not live on dead skin cells alone. The assistant informs me that their diet is supplemented with a protein-rich fish food. They seem hungry to me though, barely parting from my skin for the entire duration of the treatment. I am still mildly perturbed when they swim between my toes or sucker their way up my legs to break the water's surface. Just when I think I am coming to terms with the whole experience, I am informed that my time is up.
Drying off with some clean, white towels, my sister and I note with approval that our skin is indeed considerably softer and smoother than before. Dare I say that I might even be brave enough to dig out my sandals again tomorrow? At ten pounds for a fifteen minute session, a fish pedicure is not going to break the bank as a one off treat to ready your feet for the beach. We are each given loyalty cards with the first stamp filled in, and are reminded that for best results, we should return about once a fortnight.
Yet, I come away from 'Appy feet' not entirely sure whether I have enjoyed myself or not, and with a persistent phantom nibbling feeling from the knees down. This is certainly not a treatment for anyone who is the least bit uncomfortable with having their feet touched or tickled: it will freak you out. I can't help wondering if the boom of custom these stores are experiencing is nothing more than fleeting and due to flounder when the novelty wears off. There is no doubt that the fish pedicure has relatively pleasing results as a quick fix, but I suspect that there are not many who would commit to it more than once or twice. My cynicism on the longevity of this latest celebrity beauty fad remains far harder than the skin on the soles of my feet.

Ukraine Isn't Munich, Berlin, or Vietnam: The Limits and Dangers of Historical Analogies
tags: foreign policy, war, Ukraine, international relations, Historical Analogies
by Christopher David LaRoche
Christopher David LaRoche is assistant professor of international relations at Central European University.
We're fighting a Vietnam redux. It's 1938 all over again. The Guns of August are around the corner. A new Cold War has begun.
A raft of historical analogies has swirled around Ukraine coverage that purports to explain a war few experts saw coming. Do peacemakers like French President Emmanuel Macron risk being duped like former British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain at Munich? Or is this moment another 1914, and a wider European mobilization lurks around the corner?
The analogies writers apply to Ukraine shape how it's understood—and how the public thinks the war will end. If this is really akin to World War I, Europe's rulers should be careful not to escalate in the face of Russian mobilization—the opposite of what Germany announced it would do this year. But if the moment is like the 1938 Munich Agreement, negotiating with Russian President Vladimir Putin will encourage him to take more than just the four oblasts in eastern Ukraine.
Thinking about today through the lens of the past has a long provenance in the corridors of power. American administrations throughout the 20th century used historical analogies to frame the crises they faced, likening them to the Peloponnesian War between Athens and Sparta, the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, mission creep in Vietnam, the humanitarian disaster in Somalia, the bipolar tensions of a new Cold War—and, of course, everyone's favorite analogy, appeasement at Munich. Putin himself has deployed historical analogies (including World War II appeasement) to justify the war in Ukraine, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has countered with his own.
There's a reason that historical analogies like these are never in short supply. Analogical thinking is deeply embedded in the world's cognition—how experts make sense of new situations—in what international relations academic Aidan Hehir calls an "inherent psychological compulsion." Experts can't help but think analogically. But because the choice and application of analogies is open to individual biases and errors, their use at the highest levels of policymaking carries serious risks.
For the last several decades, scientists have argued analogies are not just rhetorical devices but cognitive heuristics—mental shortcuts for making sense of the world. Baked into fundamental cognitive processes, heuristics help experts process new information by simplifying its complexity and organizing it according to preexisting mental structures. Without these shortcuts, people wouldn't be able to function, overwhelmed by the phenomena of day-to-day life.
When people think analogically, they transfer meaning from one thing to another, understanding something present in terms of something past. But as with any shortcut, analogies have a downside. Heuristics distort the underlying phenomena of life, producing cognitive biases, such as the halo effect, confirmation bias, and overconfidence. Outlined by English philosopher Francis Bacon and popularized by psychologist Daniel Kahneman's Thinking, Fast and Slow, these biases mean experts' first and often most powerful judgments can be the most misleading. When experts use a historical analogy to understand the present, they risk importing the errors and biases inherent in the shortcut.

Tufties Hair and Beauty Win Hat Trick of Awards
A HAIR and beauty salon has capped off a hectic year with a hat trick of awards after being named Lancashire's best small business.
Owner of Tufties Hair and Beauty, in Rawtenstall, Victoria Jones was delighted when her one-stop salon won both Business of the Year and the Valley at Work award in the Rossendale Business Awards in November.
Now at the prestigious Red Rose Awards in Blackpool, the salon was named as Small Business of the Year.
"When we got to the awards ceremony it was amazing," said Victoria. "So many people were there and I never thought I had a chance because the competition was so strong. I was thrilled and delighted when we won."
Tufties developed its new salon out of the Grade II listed former Rams Head pub on Newchurch Road, but the conversion has not been without its challenges.
"Planning was really hard work, as this is a conservation area and because of the nature of the building," said Victoria, 46.
"When I bought the building I thought it would be a few months and I would be open but it took 18 months.
"I kept as many original features as I could, ceilings, seating, panelling even the old vents.
"I have always an eye on what my next development will be and we are going to open a new department on wigs and hair pieces for people fighting cancer and staff will be specially trained."
Victoria opened Tufties 15 years ago initially on Ormerod Street, Rawtenstall.
Her daughter Shelby was only two at the time – now she is 17 and has joined her mother in the business as a stylist.
"We like to enter award competitions as they are a good measure of progress and success for the business," said Victoria.
"Winning is good for business and also good for morale; it also helps to differentiate us from our competition."
The Red Rose Awards were founded by Lancashire Business View.
Event founder Richard Slater said: "The Red Rose Awards are very hotly contested, so Tufties should be very proud that they have seen off all the competition. They have big plans for the future and what they have already shown is that they can achieve anything they aim for."
* Haslingden boutique Ruby and Daisy also won the New Business of the Year title at the Red Rose Awards.

Altitude0 Is About Planes, And Not Cows
News by John Walker Contributor
If you've got a really decent looking indie arcade flight game, a great way not to promote it would be to, say, have the first have of your trailer feature a cartoon cow pratting around for no damn reason. That would be an especially strange idea when your game is about flying small aircraft between slalom poles in a gorgeous engine, because that's what you'd want to show up from so people got excited. Not a poorly rendered cow making stupid noises for 40 seconds. That's a useful tip for any indies out there planning such a thing. Including Gugila, creators of the genuinely impressive looking Altitude0.
Seriously, just skip to 40 seconds. You'll like the game a lot more.
Gugila are a Slovenian group of indies, whose rural surroundings apparently inspired the video. The game, as the name might suggest, is about flying really close to the ground, which is great, because that's all I ever try to do in flight sims anyway. (Imagine my disappointment when I played HAWX, and discovered the ground was a lie.) It's focused on competitive online play, and they promise a demo is coming very soon. And I'm looking forward to that, because since the disappearance of Attack On Pearl Harbor I've been craving a new arcadey plane time.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his political adversary, West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee, are both scheduled to start their campaigns in the state on Wednesday with almost simultaneous public meetings at North Bengal's Siliguri and Dinhata, respectively.
Meanwhile, BJP president Amit Shah is scheduled to address election rallies at Uttarkashi in Uttarakhand at 11.30 am, and Udhampur (2.30 pm) and Rajouri (4 pm) in Jammu and Kashmir. Congress president Rahul Gandhi is likely to hold a public meeting at 10.45 am at Dimapur in Nagaland, and rallies at 12.45 pm at Golaghat and 3 pm at North Lakhimpur in Assam.
Congress chief Rahul Gandhi, with UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi, former prime minister Manmohan Singh, party general secretary Priyanka Gandhi and other senior leaders, released the party's 2019 Lok Sabha election manifesto, a document titled India's New Tryst With Destiny.
Prioritising employment, poverty, farmers' woes, women and an inclusive society above all else, the manifesto counter the BJP's five years' of policies and measures at every step and calls for a "new narrative" to come forth this general election.
Finance Minister Arun Jaitley criticised the manifesto, saying that the Opposition party's promises are "dangerous and unimplementable", and that the agenda seemed to be the "balkanisation of India". Accusing Congress of shielding terrorists and being under the influence of Naxals, Maoists and jihadis, Jaitley hit out at the Congress for suggesting it will scrap the sedition law.
India on Tuesday sent a note verbale to Pakistan, urging it to make necessary arrangements for the "immediate release and repatriation" of 10 Indian prisoners who completed their prison sentences in Pakistani jails.
India also made a fresh demand seeking consular access to five Indian nationals, including formal naval officer Kulbhushan Jadhav, whose case is pending at the International Court of Justice.
The Ministry of External Affairs sent the note verbale to the Pakistan High Commission in New Delhi, in which India has conveyed its "deep concern" over the long pending release and repatriation of Indian prisoners held under Pakistan custody despite completion of sentence and nationality confirmation, MEA sources said.
President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that he is "100 percent" prepared to close down the US-Mexico border, warning Congress and Central American governments to take action to stem the flow of migrants into the country.
Delays were already rising at several key border crossings as Trump ratcheted up pressure on Democrats in the Congress to toughen US laws against illegal immigrants, threatening to hurt the US economy in the name of border security.
YouTube executives, including CEO Susan Wojcicki, ignored warnings from a number of employees that led to toxic video recommendations, reports said.
Officials at the company are believed to have been more concerned with keeping user engagement high on the platform. Employees complaining were all given the same response to "not rock the boat".
Cash-strapped Jet Airways continues to navigate in troubled skies despite the SBI-led consortium of lenders taking over its management control last month, as the airline, on Tuesday, grounded 15 more planes due to lease rental defaults. This has left just 20 planes in its operational fleet, down from 123, which operating over 650 flights across the country and the continents.
"An additional 15 aircraft have been grounded due to non-payment of outstanding to lessors under their respective lease agreements," Jet Airways said in an exchange filing late on Tuesday evening.
With this, the number of planes grounded on account of lease rental defaults alone touched 69, which is more than half of its fleet, reducing the overall operational fleet to less than one-sixth.
In another development, its pilots body, the National Aviators' Guild, has written to aviation regulator DGCA and airline chief executive Vinay Dube, pressing for payment of three months of salary dues along with applicable interest.
The independent directors' committee formed by IT company Mindtree to look into the "unsolicited open offer" by Larsen & Toubro on Tuesday roped in ICICI Securities and Khaitan and Co as independent advisors. The committee was formed to give its recommendations on the open offer for the consideration of shareholders.
Lead independent director Apurva Purohit, who is also the president of Jagran Prakashan Limited, in a statement said: "The committee held its first meeting today (Tuesday) and has appointed Khaitan and Co as its independent legal counsel and ICICI Securities Limited as its independent financial advisor to provide assistance in the matter. The written reasoned recommendations on the open offer shall be provided within the timeline and as per the guidelines laid down by SEBI."
The committee is expected to submit its recommendations by 11 May.
Unbeaten in the league so far, MS Dhoni's Chennai Super Kings will aim to maintain the winning momentum against Mumbai Indians at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Chennai are the only team to win all three matches this season, while Mumbai, placed sixth, have lost two and have tasted success in only one match.
Mumbai will hope to take maximum advantage of the home conditions and look to avoid their second consecutive defeat in the Indian Premier League. Chennai spinners — Imran Tahir, Harbhajan Singh and Ravindra Jadeja — will once again hold the key against Mumbai batsmen.
Popular comic-host Graham Norton is set to host 2019's BAFTA Television Awards. According to The Hollywood Reporter, it marks his return as the ceremony's presenter after 15 years.

El cóctel Chimayó fue creado por Arturo Jaramillo, dueño del restaurante Rancho de Chimayó en Chimayó, Nuevo México en 1965. El cóctel Chimayó es una bebida a base de tequila y sidra de manzana. Cuenta la leyenda que Jaramillo buscaba utilizar las manzanas que abundan en el valle de Chimayó cuando se topó con lo que pronto se convertiría en la bebida más destacada de su restaurante.

Preparación
El cóctel Chimayó se crea mezclando 1½ oz de tequila con 1 oz de sidra de manzana sin filtrar, 1/4 oz de jugo de limón fresco y 1/4 oz de crema de grosella negra. Según Eric Felten, quien ganó un premio James Beard Foundation por Redacción en Periódico sobre Bebida Espirituosa, Vino y Cerveza, el «toque de la crema le da a la bebida un agradable tono violáceo pálido y la dulzura necesaria para equilibrar el sabor agrio del limón.»

Nomenclatura
En este artículo, la sidra se usa en el sentido norteamericano para referirse a una sidra de manzana sin alcohol, no a la sidra alcohólica.

MS Dhoni announces international retirement
2yESPNcricinfo staff
Former captain brings the curtain down on one of the most storied careers in Indian cricket
ESPNcricinfo staff
Chopra: Very few understood the pulse of ODIs the way Dhoni did
MS Dhoni has announced his retirement from international cricket, bringing an end to the top-flight career of one of India's greatest limited-overs cricketers, and its most successful captain. He is the only captain to lift all three ICC trophies - the 50-over World Cup, the T20 World Cup and the Champions Trophy - and he also took India to the top of the ICC Test rankings.
Dhoni, 39, took to Instagram to make his announcement, putting up a slideshow of images from his career, with the caption: "Thanks - Thanks a lot for ur love and support throughout.from 1929 hrs consider me as Retired." (sic)
While the post didn't specify it, the retirement is only from international cricket, and Dhoni will play for Chennai Super Kings in the upcoming IPL 2020. He arrived in Chennai on Friday for Super Kings' short camp at Chepauk ahead of IPL 2020, which will be played in the UAE from September 19 to November 10. Kasi Viswanathan, the Super Kings CEO, had recently said that the team expected Dhoni to play for the franchise even after retirement, till at least 2022.
Thanks a lot for ur love and support throughout.from 1929 hrs consider me as Retired
A post shared by M S Dhoni (@mahi7781) on Aug 15, 2020 at 7:01am PDT
Earlier in January this year, N Srinivasan, the vice-chairman and managing director of India Cements, owners of the Super Kings franchise, had said that Dhoni would be retained by the team going into the mega auction for the 2021 IPL.
ALSO READ: The Dhoni legend in seven innings
The announcement meant Dhoni's final international match would remain his 350th ODI: the World Cup 2019 semi-final against New Zealand in July 2019. Dhoni made 50 off 72 balls in that game before being beaten by a rocket throw from Martin Guptill by inches as India exited the tournament. Dhoni hasn't played any competitive cricket since then and had only resumed proper training with Super Kings in March before the Covid-19 pandemic hit.
Dasgupta: Thank you MS for the lovely memories
Dhoni also played 90 Test matches and 98 T20Is in an international career that began in December 2004. His statistics are outstanding: more than 15,000 international runs across formats, 16 centuries, and more than 800 dismissals as wicketkeeper.
"It is the end of an era," Sourav Ganguly, Dhoni's first international captain and now the president of BCCI, said in a statement. "What a player he has been for the country and world cricket. His leadership qualities have been something which will be hard to match, especially in the shorter format of the game. His batting in one-day cricket in his early stages made the world stand up and notice his flair and sheer natural brilliance. Every good thing comes to an end and this has been an absolutely brilliant one.
"He has set the standards for the wicketkeepers to come and make a mark for the country. He will finish with no regrets on the field. An outstanding career; I wish him the best in life."
But Dhoni's legacy stretches far beyond the numbers: he will be remembered, as both batsman and captain, for his unconventional style and his ability to remain calm in the face of the severest pressure. That shone through in his biggest moment on the world stage, closing out the World Cup final in Mumbai in 2011 with a six to put the icing on a match-winning 91*. In one of the other massive matches of his career, the final of the inaugural T20 World Cup in 2007, he threw the ball to Joginder Sharma for the last over instead of the more experienced Harbhajan Singh. And it worked.
ALSO READ - Monga: The star we don't know
Dhoni's life story was unusual enough to warrant a biopic. His roots, in the cricketing backwaters of Ranchi; his early working life as a ticket inspector for Indian Railways; and the way he burst on to the scene, long-haired, fearless, and big, beefy hitting. Within a couple of years he was captaining India's fledgling T20I side in the inaugural T20 World Cup; it was, famously, an event the BCCI did not take seriously. India's win, however, changed world cricket by giving a huge fillip to the IPL - a tournament that was already in the works - and further establishing the BCCI as the pre-eminent global power.
In the years that followed, Dhoni's India had results on the field to match that financial clout. His captaincy was based on his cool, almost computer-like brain, and his ability to not allow the pressure of long-term results to determine his tactics. Along with coach Gary Kirsten, he put his senior performers in a comfortable place, and they returned the favour with some of their best years in international cricket.
The 2011 World Cup win was the peak of his career; after that, he had to contend with an ageing team and the toll that non-stop cricket was taking on his own body, especially his back. His batting changed and he cut down on the pyrotechnics for a more calculated approach to batting, especially when among the tail. Towards the end of his career, though, he came in for criticism as his batting slowed down, something that came to the fore during the 2019 World Cup defeat against England. In a chase of 338, Dhoni managed 42 off 31 balls, with India eventually losing by 31 runs despite having five wickets in hand.
No appraisal of Dhoni would be complete without mentioning his formidable record in the IPL, where he will still be active. He's been the face of the Super Kings franchise for its entire existence, either side of its two-year ban, leading them to three titles and five runners-up finishes. Dhoni also captained Super Kings to the Champions League T20 titles in 2010 and 2014.
