'The Yenisey is powerful, furious hero who does not know what to do with his strength and youth'
A.P. Chekhov, 1890
How the world sees Siberia
Caught on camera: the Santa summit
In a remote ice cave in Siberia, three legendary white-bearded figures hold an unexpected conclave.
Siberia is not short of important figures to liven up the long and cold winter. The Siberian Times
The expressions are serious, and the cold daunting, but tasks ahead are to bring joy and happiness to us all, and especially children.
Can you guess who they are?
One clue is that our exclusive picture is from the Sakha Republic - also known as Yakutia - an area of eastern Russia so vast it is only slightly smaller than India. For two of these these figures, this is their home territory. But first the most familiar face.

Second from the left is Grandfather Frost - aka Russian Santa - who will be busiest this year on New Year's Eve, a week or so after his Western cousin, who delivers presents in time for children waking on Christmas Day, or 25 December, with the assistance of reindeer.
Grandfather Frost, known to millions of children across Russia's nine time zones as 'Ded Moroz', often carries a magical staff and is frequently accompanied by his Snow Maiden assistant, or Snegurochka, sadly absent from our main picture.
He often visits excited children in their homes or at parties on or before New Year's Eve, and sometimes now hangs around until Orthodox Christmas Eve and Christmas Day on January 6 and 7.
His traditional mode of transport is a sleigh pulled by white horses, though over the years he has also used the metro and Ladas in extremes.
Climbing down chimneys, though, is not for him.
While usually dressed in red, it is rare but not unknown for him to appear in blue, an innovation that some say was the work of Stalin who deep in the Soviet era felt he needed the winter tradition of Santa but wanted to distinguish it from the bourgeois Western variant, who was unkindly branded 'an ally of the priest and the kulak'.
While Ded Moroz is nowadays usually red, the main time for presents remains New Year, having become detached during the Soviet period from Orthodox Christmas in European Russia.
Deep in Siberia, though, old - indeed ancient - traditions not only survived through the Communist era but now thrive in its absence.
On the left in our ice cave is Ehee Dyl, a famous figure in these regions who offers congratulations at New Year but who is also present all year round. He has been called a Grandfather of the Year, or a Time Lord, or a Yakutian Santa. On the right of the picture is his assistant, Kharchana - his Snow Maiden, by legend his granddaughter. The third figure is Chyshaan, the King of the Cold.

Every year, in late September and early October, he makes his way from the Arctic Ocean to Yakutia.
'And with his every step comes cold,' tells native Yakutian, Olga Stepanova. He has two horns, by legend one from a bull, the other from a woolly mammoth.
'Then at the end January his first horn falls off, and in middle February his second horn,' she explained.
'A wind starts blowing and his head falls off. His body falls in the Lena River and he floats downstream to back to Arctic Ocean.'
Gradually the weather warms for the summer.
Siberia is not short of important figures to liven up the long and cold winter. For example, in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous District there is the good magician Yamal Erie who comes to visit. He has a staff and magic drum to drive away the evil spirits.
Earlier in November, we noticed Ehee Dyl accompanied by Kyhyn Khotun, his wife (Yakutian Winter) a few thousand kilometres to the west in Veliky Ustyug, marking the birthday of Grandfather Frost in what is now universally acknowledged in Russia as his hometown.

From Siberia in the east of Russia, may we wish you all a Merry Christmas and holiday period, whenever you celebrate it - and wherever you are, and happiness and prosperity for the New Year!

The True History Behind "The Last Duel" - A Tale of Trial by Combat
Medieval chivalric duels were undoubtedly the most thrilling events of the time. The last vestige of the ancient gladiatorial fights, knightly duels were a true display of the skill with arms and chivalrous honor. But these duels were also a veritable aspect of the medieval judicial system , whereby two feuding knights could choose to settle the matter with their weapons. The man who won would be deemed chosen by God - and thus the matter was settled. One of the most famous such duels was the one between Sir Jean de Carrouges and the squire Jacques le Gris in 14th century France. The story of this so-called "Last Duel" became so popular, that it was retold for centuries afterwards. Recently it even became the subject of a blockbuster movie.
"The Last Duel" is More Than a Movie - It's a True Story!
An exciting and high-quality blockbuster has just hit the cinema screens this autumn. The Last Duel is by all accounts a thrilling and promising historical movie , and an accurate representation of medieval trials by combat. Still, many of those that watched the movie didn't know that it was based on actual historic events. This duel was a major event in 14th century French society, and the whole of the nation was buzzing with the controversial story. It was also the last judicial duel fought in France.
The main character within this historic story was one Jean de Carrouges IV, a prominent Norman knight. Jean was likely born around 1330 AD, the son of a minor noble and knight, Sir Jean de Carrouges III. A veteran soldier who was distinguished in the service of the regional Count of Perche, Jean's father paved the way for his eldest son. The family owned a castle in their ancient seat of Carrouges, but also possessed other properties. Jean's father was richly rewarded for his long life of military service, most notably by becoming the viscount of Belleme, setting the stage for his young son.

At the time, the French were engaged in a bitter conflict with the English. Of course, Jean de Carrouges was destined for the life of warfare - this was the common fate for many nobles and their sons in medieval France. In his youth, Jean served in the retinue of Count of Perche, and was active in several clashes and campaigns against the English in France. By the age of 21, he was given a part of the family estates. Now a noble in his own right, he continued his rise to prominence and success.
Bitter Rivalry Between Two Ex-Friends Ends in the "Last Duel"
In his youth, Jean de Carrouges became a good friend with Jacques le Gris, a squire and a neighbor to the Carrouges' estate. The two men enjoyed a solid and friendly relationship. Le Gris was even the godfather to the firstborn child of Carrouges, from his first marriage to a lady called Jeanne de Tilly. Around this time, a new Count of Perche appeared on the scene - Peter II of Alençon the Noble. Both men - Carrouges and le Gris - swore their fealty to the new count, and quickly joined his close court circle, based at the city of Argentan. It was here that their relationship began to sour.
In no time, the young squire Jacques le Gris became a steadfast favorite of Count Peter. A notorious womanizer and entertainer, le Gris was loved at court and was inseparable from the powerful count. On several occasions, it happened that Jean the Carrouges was overlooked and unrewarded for his services, while Gris was showered with praise and rewards. Undoubtedly, jealousy played a part here, and the two men quickly went from friends to enemies.

It soon became public knowledge that they were bitter rivals at court. The French medieval court historian Jean Froissart, left a thorough account of the events, and writes of their relationship in great detail.
"Jacques le Gris and Jean de Carrouges, both of them of the household of Peter, Count d'Alençon, and esteemed by him; but more particularly Jacques le Gris, whom he loved above all others, and placed his whole confidence in him."
Bad luck seemed to follow Jean de Carrouges in step. Not only was he overlooked at court, but his first wife and child tragically perished, dying together of natural causes. Life was uncertain at the time, due to hard and inhospitable living conditions, and nobles suffered too. Struck by this tragic loss, Jean set out on a five-month military campaign, distinguishing himself in bloody actions against the English. He returned home in 1380, his retinue halved, and soon set about regaining his good standing. He quickly found a new marriage proposal, marrying a young lady called Marguerite de Thibouville. This would be a turning point in the knight's life.

Exploited and Savaged: The Rape of Marguerite
The marriage was seemingly one of interest. His new wife brought in a large dowry and a fresh chance for Jean to expand his possessions. However, this also placed him into conflict with the Count, especially due to his reputation as being temperamental man, quick to anger and very rash. His standing at the court was increasingly deteriorating. Squire Jacques le Gris, however, was loved at court and enjoyed a stellar relationship with the count. It's probable that le Gris harbored great disdain for Carrouges, who - even though disliked - was much more powerful than he.
The fated event in the story of the "Last Duel" occurred in January of 1386. Jean de Carrouges departed on a journey to Paris, intent on finishing some business. He left his young wife, Marguerite, with their household servants at the chateau in Capomesnil. However, in a curious turn of events, the governess in charge of looking after Marguerite, also departed the chateau to deal with some tasks in the nearby town. Oddly enough, this left the young Lady Marguerite all alone in the chateau. On to the scene arrived Jacques le Gris, with malicious intent.
Apparently staying at his estates near to Capomesnil, Jacques le Gris travelled the short distance to the Carrouges chateau with a henchman. His henchman knocked on the door with some pretext to convince Marguerite to open the door, whence Jacques le Gris and his man barged violently into the house. Consumed by desire for the young wife of Jean de Carrouges, Le Gris flung her onto the floor and raped her. Once the deed was done, he threatened the young woman to keep silent or face terrible consequences.
Jean de Carrouges and His Search for Justice
Two days later, Jean de Carrouges returned to be reunited with his wife, and noticed something was amiss. Jean Froissart perfectly describes how Marguerite desperately recounted what happened in her husband's absence:
"At last, when the household were in bed, she flung herself on her knees at his bedside, and bitterly bewailed the insult she had suffered. The night would not believe it could have happened; but at length, she urged it so strongly, he did believe her, and said, "Certainly, lady, if the matter has passed as you say, I forgive you, but the squire shall die; and I shall consult your and my relations on the subject: should you have told me a falsehood, never more shall you live with me." The lady again and again assured him that what she had said was the pure truth."
From that moment on, all hell broke loose for Jean de Carrouges. A temperamental man, fiercely clinging to his knightly honor, he felt utterly wronged by the dishonor perpetrated by his rival Jacques Le Gris. In search of justice, he initially went to the court of the Count d'Alençon, explaining the events and laying out his accusations. But he already knew what the outcome would be. A court favorite, Le Gris was quickly acquitted of all charges and proclaimed innocent. What is more, Marguerite was said to have "dreamt" the entire affair.

Unwilling to give up, Jean travelled to see the French king himself, all the way to Paris. But this time, he went with a plan. Since his case was weak (the only witness was his wife), Jean proposed to the King that the matter be settled through trial by combat. That way, the truly just man would have God's favor on his side and justice would prevail. By that time, such trials were very rare in France and long out of fashion. What ensued was a lengthy trial, one that lasted an entire year. Both parties presented their cases to the King and soon enough, the Carrouges-Le Gris trial became a social sensation in Paris.

Leaving Justice to Fate: The True Story of the Last Duel
Jacques le Gris was advised to request a church trial, which would be his sure way to victory in the case. But the rivalry between the two men was bitter - Le Gris was eager to accept Jean de Carrouges' request to trial by combat. Not only would he face the man he hated, but would get the chance to receive substantial monetary recompense. In the end, the court gave in. As the case could not be adequately solved in court, the two men were permitted to fight a duel to the death . The event would become the talk of the entire city of Paris. Even the King was eager to watch the event, so much so that he postponed the duel by an entire month to ensure he would be able to attend.
On December 29th, 1386, the two men met at the battleground. Thousands of Parisians were there to bear witness, the Royal Court included. If he won, Jean de Carrouges would restore his wife's honor and bring his rival to justice. However, if he lost the duel, his wife Marguerite would be burned alive, as this was the punishment for false accusation. The pressure on Jean was understandably enormous.

Both combatants were armed equally. They were both mounted and armored, and each had one lance, a battle-axe, a longsword, and a dagger at their disposal. Their duel began with jousting - both men scored direct hits and shattered their lances, which made them go for the battle-axes next. In the ensuing melee, Jacques le Gris managed to savagely behead the horse of his opponent, sending him to the ground. However, Jean de Carrouges also struck a blow - disemboweling his enemy's horse. Now, both knights were on their feet, and the actual duel began. Using their longswords, they descended into a long and bitter duel. Throughout the combat, Jacques le Gris proved to be stronger and more agile than his enemy, maintaining the upper hand.
Eventually, Jean de Carrouges slipped. Le Gris took this chance and struck a fierce blow, piercing Jean's thigh - much to the shock of the crowd. Still, Jean de Carrouges - a veteran of many battles - was not dismayed. Instead, he found a chance to grab hold of Le Gris' helmet and pull him down to the ground. This was a turning point in the duel.
Due to the weight of his armor, Jacques le Gris could not get up. Carrouges then proceeded to batter him and tear off his helmet's faceplate. Having overpowered Le Gris, he demanded that he admit his guilt. The latter still staunchly proclaimed his innocence, saying: "In the name of God and on the peril and damnation of my soul, I am innocent!" Jean de Carrouges proceeded to drive his dagger through his opponent's exposed throat, killing him instantly. The "Last Duel" was won.

Live by the Sword, Die by the Sword
Jean de Carrouges reclaimed his wife's honor and gained favor at the Royal Court. He was showered with rewards and an increase in popularity in the years to come. Truth and justice had seemingly won the day. However, his luck would not hold. Just ten years following his famous duel, Jean de Carrouges would march off into the infamous Battle of Nikopolis, from which he would never return. It is presumed that he was killed alongside his commander, when their forces were trapped and destroyed by the Ottoman Turks . Nevertheless, his name and his fame continued to live on, all thanks to his heroic and chivalrous last duel. The Last Duel premiered at the Venice Film Festival in September 2021, and its theatrical release in the United States was on October 15th 2021.

My point exactly. This is written from a Creationist viewpoint (which I am) not an evolutionary one. I'm trying to make the case (among others) that evolutionary timelines are wrong, and that the Earth is much younger than we have been led to believe.
Well,if you go by a Creationist timeline no wonder you think humans and dinosaurs coexisted.
They think the whole world is what,6,000 years old?
I suppose dinosaurs were on the ark?
I am saying that the earth is not as old as we have been told and that, yes, there were still some dinosaurs on earth living with humans.
I guess you're trying to funny here...but I didn't draw any connections to what is on television at all. Honestly I don't appreciate the attitude as if you are dismissing me and my points as crazy. If you want to discuss the evidence I have put forth, by all means go ahead.
Just a little levity and no dismissal of your theory.
I'm a Flintstone fan and it came to mind...that's it.
Why is it any easier to accept the results of tests that are obviously inaccurate? What gives evolutionary scientists any more credibility that creationist scientists?
So, exactly how old do you estimate the Earth to be?
Absolutely. Along with every other kind of animal.

UK government warned over sharp rise in child and pensioner poverty
December 4, 2017 - Updated on December 12, 2017

This article titled "UK government warned over sharp rise in child and pensioner poverty" was written by Richard Partington, for The Guardian on Monday 4th December 2017 00.01 UTC
Hundreds of thousands of children and older people have been plunged into poverty in the past four years, according to a stark analysis laying bare the challenge to families trying to keep up with the cost of living in Britain.
The research from the Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF) found almost 400,000 more children and 300,000 more pensioners in the UK were living in poverty last year compared with 2012-13, the first sustained increases in child and pensioner poverty for 20 years. The foundation warned that decades of progress were at risk of being unravelled amid weak wage growth and rising inflation.
The thinktank urged the government to unfreeze benefits, increase training for adult workers and to embark on a more ambitious house-building programme to provide affordable homes for struggling families.
Frances O'Grady, general secretary of the TUC, seized on the report to call for the minimum wage to rise to £10 an hour and for the government to remove the cap on salaries in the public sector. "Working people are not getting a fair deal from the economy, with real wages still worth less than a decade ago," she said.
The foundation's latest research, titled UK Poverty 2017, found a gradual increase in poverty rates over the past four years, reversing a trend of falling numbers since the mid-1990s.

About a third of children were living in families lacking the resources for their minimum needs in 1994-95 before the rate fell to 27% in 2011-12 with the help of higher employment rates and tax credits introduced under the last Labour government. The proportion of pensioners living in poverty fell from 28% to 13% over the same period.
However, poverty rates increased to 16% for pensioners and 30% for children last year, while the charity also found as many as one in five people across the UK may be in poverty – which it defines as being when someone earns less than 60% of median earnings, adjusted for size and type of household.
The JRF chief executive, Campbell Robb, said: "These worrying figures suggest that we are at a turning point in our fight against poverty. Political choices, wage stagnation and economic uncertainty mean that hundreds of thousands more people are now struggling to make ends meet."
Recent analysis from the Institute for Fiscal Studies estimates the number of children living in poverty is set to rise to a record 5.2 million over the next five years, up from about 4 million at present. The thinktank said frozen benefits as well as the introduction of universal credit would contribute to the surge, which it said would be most profoundly felt in the most deprived parts of the country.
Tax cuts and minimum wage increases have proved beneficial to some families – as the government has raised the personal tax-free allowance and imposed a "national living wage" of £7.50 an hour – but the JRF report found the gains were outweighed by the reductions from benefit support.
What is universal credit?
Universal credit is the supposed flagship reform of the benefits system, rolling together six benefits (including unemployment benefit, tax credits and housing benefit) into one, online-only system. The theoretical aim, for which there was general support across the political spectrum, was to simplify the benefits system and increase the incentives for people to work, rather than stay on benefits.
How long has it been around?
The project was legislated for in 2011 under the auspices of its most vocal champion, Iain Duncan Smith. The plan was to roll it out by 2017. However, a series of management failures, expensive IT blunders and design faults have seen it fall at least five years behind schedule.
What is the biggest problem?
The original design set out a minimum 42-day wait for a first payment to claimants when they moved to universal credit (in practice this is often up to 60 days). After sustained pressure, the government announced in the autumn 2017 budget that the wait would be reduced to 35 days from February 2018. This will partially mitigate the impact on many claimants of having no income for six weeks. The wait has led to rent arrears (and in some cases to eviction), hunger (food banks in universal credit areas report notable increases in referrals), use of expensive credit and mental distress.
Ministers have expanded the availability of hardship loans (now repayable over a year) to help new claimants while they wait for payment. And housing benefit will now continue for an extra two weeks after the start of a universal credit claim. However, critics say the five-week waiting time is not enough and want it reduced to two or three weeks.
Are there other problems?
Plenty. Multibillion-pound cuts to work allowances imposed by the former chancellor George Osborne mean universal credit is far less generous than originally envisaged. According to the Resolution Foundation thinktank, about 2.5m low-income working households will be more than £1,000 a year worse off when they move on to universal credit, reducing work incentives. Landlords are worried that the level of rent arrears racked up by tenants on universal credit could lead to a rise in evictions. It's also not very user-friendly: claimants complain the system is complex, unreliable and difficult to manage, particularly if you have no internet access.
Philip Hammond, the chancellor, unveiled an additional £1.5bn for reforming the rollout of universal credit, helping to cut waiting times for claimants. However, the government still plans to cut working-age benefits by nearly £12bn over the next five years.
The JRF analysis also found evidence that some families were trapped in poverty despite being in work, and were unable to progress much further. It found a rate of one in eight workers, or 3.7 million people, do not earn enough for their needs and that 40% of working-age adults living in poverty have no qualifications, making it harder to earn better pay.
Rachael Orr, head of UK programmes at Oxfam, said it was "deeply concerning" to see more evidence that having a job was not enough to escape poverty. "It's not just working adults who are affected, but their children too, and it's a real worry to see progress on child poverty going into reverse," she said.
Alison Garnham, chief executive of the Child Poverty Action Group, said: "As today's report shows, we know how to reduce child poverty in the UK – we've done it before. Yet at the start of a sustained rise in the rate of child poverty – bewilderingly – there is inaction. The question the report begs is why are we not investing in our children?
"Families with children have had a decade of cuts to their incomes and the damage is showing. Unless there is action now to protect the living standards of low-income families, we will pile up problems for future generations and for the UK economy."

"...for she was straight and simple."
Hacking with the Angband code is among the best ways to learn C I know of. Ben Harrison's code is so lucid and so well commented as to make reading it a pleasure. Starting out with very little C knowledge, you can tinker with simple functions, advance to using pointers, see how data structures operate, learn interface commands in various operating systems, and eventually grapple with some fairly sophisticated algorithms and code engines.
This document is designed to help you, the novice programmer, produce Angband code that really does what you want it to do. It discusses how to turn Angband into a debugger, talks about math from a caveman's point of view, and finally offers some miscellaneous suggestions.
There are few code problems that Angband itself can't help solve. If things are getting confusing, writing some temporary code to display messages and variables is often your best move.
Let's start off with a truly basic tip: Use messages. If you don't know when, how often, or even if certain segments of your code are activating, the msg_print() and msg_format() functions are your friends. Is an if-statement always returning FALSE in practice? Is a loop running too much, and bogging things down? Where is the code freezing or crashing? Find out with messages.
In some cases, you must tweak the various options that affect how messages are displayed in order to get useful output, or put messages inside loops to make sure you pay attention to them. Another way to get messages to appear is to use the prt() function with an on-screen start location.
Debuggers keep track of lots of variables. Typically, however, you are interested in only a few, but want to make absolutely certain you know what values they have at a very precise point. Turn to the msg_format() function, or the format() function nested inside a prt() statement.
For example, I still have a copy of "generate.c" that prints out on screen the number of all kinds of rooms as they are built. How many rooms of each type get created, on average, on each level? How often does the build greater vault function fail? After each room is built, what does a map of free and used dungeon blocks look like? The prt() function can tell you, but no debugger can.
Much of the code you write will affect the screen in some way, if only momentarily. First thing to do if such code doesn't seem to work right is to remove any screen refreshes after it dumps its output. You may also make the output more obvious temporarily, or decide to display special characters showing the value of an internal variable at that grid.
For example, many variants of Angband have arc spells that rely on the distance() function. If you freeze the area of effect of such a spell, you will see that this produces some rather ugly results if the arc travels in a direction not divisible by 45 degrees.
Anyone who wants to code had better know math, but he doesn't necessarily have to know much math. Since a complex equation confuses me as fast as the next man, I'll share some of the simple, "caveman" math that does most of the heavy lifting in my code.
There are a lot of times in Angband where a variable (say, melee skill) has an initial value and is also affected by a variable (like player level). Key to balancing the game is thinking carefully about how much weight to give the constant part (usually a function of addition) and the variable part (often determined by multiplication). How many monsters should appear on a level? How much of a Ring of Speed's value should depend on its being a Ring of Speed and how much on the actual speed bonus? How much of a spell's damage should be guaranteed, and how much level-dependent? The Angband programmer usually answers these questions by weighing addition versus multiplication until the results work well for all values of the variable.
Division by zero is the programmer's bugaboo. Variables fed into the equation "4 / x" should be checked just beforehand, because this is where failure to control boundaries or syntax errors can have immediate and fatal results.
In Angband, floating-point math is a no-no. Many of the machines the game runs on crash nastily when fed floating-point. Trouble is the division operator in fixed-point math turns the numerator 3 divided by the denominator 2 into 1. As long as we are careful about the limits of bytes and integers, we can inflate the numerator before dividing it until we achieve the level of accuracy we desire. If we want accuracy out to three places, then 100 * 3 / 2 will yield 150.
I've never found anything floating-point math could do in Angband that fixed-point couldn't with a little ingenuity. Along with temporary inflation of values, tables, and plain old-fashioned working around the problem, the mod operator is the fixed-point mathematician's favorite tool. Remember that 5 / 2 = 2 in fixed-point math, despite the remainder of 1. 5 % 2 yields that remainder: 1. All data lost in division can be recovered.
There are other uses of "%". If you code a loop, and want a portion of it to fire only one time in four, you can use the line "if (i % 4 == 0)". If you want a value to wrap around from 31 to 32 to 0, to avoid nasty results at 33, you can code "if (y > 32) y = y % 32". This is very helpful to ensure legal bit operator or table access.
Note: The mod operator causes no speed issues in most situations, but is not fast enough for very low-level functions.
Key to programming in this game is the evocation of Angband's infamous RNG. You will be calling its name frequently, and need to know the basic binding spells.
The function rand_int() yields a value between 0 and x-1. The function randint() yields a value between 1 and x. Be ready to use either, with a slight preference for rand_int() (randint() is actually rand_int() + 1), depending on the comparison you have to make.
For example, if we want x to have an x percentage chance of success, then "(x > rand_int(100))" is correct, but "(x >= rand_int(100))" or "(x > randint(100))" are not. With any formula of this type, increases in x past the number being randomized yield exactly the same result. 1000 is greater than 100, but so is 101.
You will also often see an equation similar to "if (10 < randint(x))", which means that an x of less than 10 is certain to yield FALSE, and an x of 10 or larger will yield FALSE 10 times out of x. This function is useful for discriminating against low 'x's, like the check for a hit in melee does against poor combat skill.
Unlike in the previous equation, the result is never certain to be TRUE, no matter how high x gets. On the other hand, if x can increase to a large multiple of 10, then we are very likely to get a result of TRUE. This happens in the Angband trap code with a high disarming skill; traps become almost harmless. If you want the function to not approach certainty, but (say) approach a 50% chance of getting a desired result, then use an additional test: "if (rand_int(2) == 0)" in this case.
The damage of many spells is determined by lines similar to "20 + randint(30)". This means that damage done will be between 21 and 50, with each value having an equal chance of happening. If you really meant damage to vary between 20 and 50, type "20 + rand_int(31)" instead. There are many cases where this change might profitably be made.
There are lots of other ways to use rand_int(). Sometimes if complex or multiple calls to the RNG are getting confusing, run the boundary conditions through the equations and pay special attention to how ">", and "<", differ from ">=" and "<=".
There are many situations where you want controlled variation, biased towards values away from the extremes. Normal distributions are ubiquitous in the real world; they're good things to have in games too. The easiest way to get a close-to-normal distribution is to use damroll().
This function takes two values: number of dice (d), and dice sides (s). The result ranges from d * 1 to d * s. A dagger (1d4) does between one and four points of damage. The average damage is (d + d * s) / 2 - in the case of a dagger, this would be 2.5. For mental calculations, some prefer to use the function: average = d * (s+1) / 2.
The more dice there are, and the fewer sides each die has, the more closely the results, over an infinite number of runs, will cluster around the average. The result of 100d2 will very likely be quite close to 150. At the other extreme, using one die is the same as using randint(): all legal values have the same chance of occurring.
Warning: Using damroll is like using rand_int() once for every die you roll. This is normally not a problem, but be hesitant to use this function where speed is crucial.
Using Angband to help you debug and getting comfortable with simple math helps a lot. Below are some ideas for getting even better results.
absolute maximum - the largest number the code potentially allows to reach your equations.
By checking numbers 1 and 4, you help stop your code from crashing. By checking 2 and 3, you maintain game balance.
Code development is iterative - it doesn't happen all at once. You can make life really hard on yourself by adding no comments and scrunching your code into as small a space as possible, or really easy by learning to write commentary early and enthusiastically.
If you're like me, even your best friends could not call you a coding genius. If you know how to write better than you know how to program, consider writing your way to good code.
Some parts of Angband require more attention to speed than others. The less thinking the player has to do to activate the code in question, and the less distracted he is while it runs, the more he will pay attention to speed of execution. Also, the more often code is called, whether by nesting of functions or in loops, the more oportunity it has to eat up time.
The monster AI is a perfect example. Monsters must very quickly decide whether to cast a spell, run, or attack, because: 1) the code to make them plot and plan runs even when the player is not spending time thinking, and 2) it is called very frequently near major concentrations of monsters.
Re-design loops and scans so that they have to cycle less to get the same result. See if you can make a search more intelligent, a test more likely to succeed, or a scan more focused. Be wary of functions or statements being called, failing, and having to be called again.
Set up if-statements that winnow out those cases that do not need to activate the code. In the code that determines whether a monster will run, for example, most of the possible cases will obviously flee, or obviously stand and fight.
Put tests that do the most work for the least effort first: A simple test goes before a complex test. A test that removes 40% of the candidates goes before an equally simple test that removes 20%.
If you can't avoid calling rand_int altogether, at least get the maximum possible use out of the calls you must make. Keep rand_int out of loops, use a single call in independant tests (be careful), or divide up a random number into chunks, digits, or bits, and use the divisions. For example, each of the last four digits of rand_int(10000) may be used as a rand_int(10).
Use permanent and temporary tables and global variables. Randomly search the entire monster list often enough, and you'll spend more time than you would if you filled a table with legal monsters, and used it when needed. There are many cases where the monster and object generation codes re-build the generation tables for precisely this reason.
Sometimes, you need superfast math. Functions to use in these cases include the shift expressions "a << x" (multiply a by 2 * x) and "b >> y" (divide b by 2 * y), and other bit operators, but do not include "/", or "%".
Angband still plays off floppy. A lot of coders have worked awfully hard to make a game that is a shining example of just have much fun can fit on 1.4 meg of space. Let this tradition be your tradition. Leave it to others to write elephantine code that squeaks; let your code be mousy-small - and roar!

Somalia: Bomb Explodes, Wounds 11 In Mogadishu
Publisher (F.BA)
The car bomb which exploded at a junction in Mogadishu, the Somali capital has wounded at least eleven people.
There is no group that claims responsibility for the blast, which happened near buildings housing government offices.
A vehicle loaded with bombs exploded at a checkpoint between the Security Ministry headquarters and Lower House building in the Sayidka area of Mogadishu.
Ambulances and firefighters headed towards the scene where the blast occurred, the place is also surrounded by government forces.
Ten days ago a similar car bomb attack occurred at a busy intersection that caused the death of 90 people and injured more than 100 people.
In another development, U.S President Donald Trump says all is well shortly after Iran claimed responsibility for multiple rocket attacks on two military bases housing U.S.-led coalition forces in Iraq.
Reports say no fewer than a dozen rockets struck the Al-Asad Air Force Base in western Iraq and another, located in Erbil.

The challenge on this project was to provide a new roof over the existing opera stage that would be 50 percent larger yet still supported on the existing "star" columns and their foundations. The balcony structure was replaced and its roof joined to the main roof by a warped clerestory. The result eliminated the previously existing gap between the main and balcony roofs - and through which the rain regularly fell on the audience. The new roof structure, locally known as the "mothership", is rod-stayed, off the star columns, from paired V masts splayed apart and supporting, through a fan or harp of rods, 4 primary ribs, each an inverted T. Between these the roof, which is also the acoustical surface, is made of heavy glue-laminated decking. The balcony structure uses a molar-like rigid structure to translate the cantilever moment of the seating rackers into a vertical couple supported on a thin hanger and column.


Rodney in Suffolk, Virginia, is interested in the word tattoo. His grandmother didn't use it to mean skin art. She used it to rave about seeing a great concert or band: "It was just such a wonderful tattoo!" It might have something to do with a musical military tradition involving a tattoo (of Dutch origin) that is unrelated to the skin tattoo (which has a Tahitian origin). This is part of a complete episode.


As regards the particularly difficult problem of Vietnam, the United States spokesmen had made it clear that the measures which they had recently taken to attack targets in the northern half of the country were directed solely to arresting the progressive infiltration of South Vietnam by the VietCong forces and that the statement by General Maxwell-Taylor, the United States representative in Saigon, that there was no limit to the potential increase of the war, should not be interpreted as inconsistent with this policy.
They regarded themselves as having no alternative to this course of action. They could not contemplate the evacuation of Vietnam, except at the unacceptable price of allowing Communist influence to extend progressively throughout South-East Asia.
They regarded it as equally impracticable that they should remain in South Vietnam but refrain from any counter-action to arrest the infiltration of the VietCong forces. In these circumstances the only course open to them was to strike at those forces in the area from which they came. They appeared fully to appreciate the risks inherent in this course, particularly the length of time which might elapse before the Government of North Vietnam were finally deterred from further aggression and the danger that, in this interval, the Government of South Vietnam might itself collapse.
They regarded these risks, however, as outweighed by the imperative need to check the North Vietnamese advance. Nevertheless, they did not intend to attack North Vietnam with ground forces; and they had undertaken to inform us in advance if they contemplated any extension of their present policy of air attack.
So far there was no indication that the mounting United States pressure was causing the Government of North Vietnam to be more ready to contemplate negotiation as a means of ending the conflict. The United States Government were equally unwilling to contemplate negotiation unless infiltration by Viet Cong forces ceased and satisfactory evidence to this effect could be produced.
As regards the recent occasion on which United States troops had used gas against the Viet Cong forces, he had left the United States Administration in no doubt of the strength of public feeling on this point in the United Kingdom and the extent to which, in our view, the episode had damaged the international reputation of the United States. In fact, however, the United States Government themselves had not been consulted by the local Commander before the weapons in question were brought into use; and the gas in question had been only the non-lethal type, which had been used by many countries, including ourselves, for the control of civil disturbances.


New York hopes to attract some 55 million annual tourists by 2015, the majority of whom are looking for cheap accommodations – something that's not easy to find in one of the cities with the highest cost of living in the United States. But a Danish design firm called Pink Cloud hopes to turn vacant buildings into fun, design-friendly hotels by filling empty offices with temporary, made-to-order hotels.
Pink Cloud's plan starts with a menu of components that would-be hoteliers can tailor to their specific vision. From hotel beds and workstations to art exhibitions and martini bars, everything will be neatly packed and sent to hotel sites in modular shipping containers. A color-coding system would make the pop-up hotels easy to set up, and there's a potential that the hotels could all be marketed together.
Skift points out there are some problems that could put a snag in Pink Cloud's plans: zoning is extremely strict in New York, as is getting a property up to code. But since New York tourists are likely to spend more time seeing the sites than holing up in hotels, the new plan could revolutionize tourism in the city if it gets off the ground.
Hayete, a budget-friendly guesthouse in Beirut, is a rare bird: stylish, in a fantastic location, and relatively inexpensive.
Budget-minded travelers who also enjoy a bit of style are usually out of luck when it comes to accommodations. Budget-friendly options generally consist of hostels, folksy guesthouses, smarmy bed & breakfasts and budget hotel chains – all honorable and fine, but only rarely stylish.
There are very few super stylish rooms in in-demand cities with rates in the $100 per night territory. Boutique and art hotels charge several times this amount in most buzzing cities. Budget hunters usually have to rely on the occasional off-season rate dip to enjoy anything approaching boutique style.
Hayete, located in Beirut's exciting, intrigue-drenched Achrafieh neighborhood, provides an exception to the rule. The place looks and feels like the setting for a photo shoot in an underground European style magazine. It occupies an old classic building, built in the early 20th century, with original detailing intact. The tiled floor is particularly beautiful.
On the walls here are several huge photographs of color-saturated Russian landscapes by Liza Faktor. The design template is clever and very contemporary, capturing several impressions at once. There is the breezy feel of the carefree 1970s in several pieces alongside a fussy mid-century sitting room aesthetic, itself unsettled by contemporary upholstery. Throughout, there's a strong sense of place.
The location is right in the thick of the Achrafieh action. Guests breakfast on a communal balcony that sits above a lively intersection, just beyond the main lounge's enormous antique aviary with its live, singing inhabitants. From the balcony, guests can spy morning traffic extending through narrow streets, old mansions, and the noises and sights of construction and renovation projects. The Lebanese breakfast (labneh, pita bread, juice) provides a pleasant, if light, start to the day.
Hayete has just four rooms. Two, with shared bathrooms, run $105 per night for a double (or $75 for single occupancy.) Two en suite rooms start at $125 (or $95 for a single). The rate includes breakfast, tax, coffee and tea from a shared bar, Wi-Fi and use of a communal refrigerator.
These nightly rates are particularly impressive in light of Beirut's hotel rate index, which is not generally easy on the wallet. While Hayete is not an extreme budget pick, its nightly rates put it in an all-too-slim category of reasonable, stylish hotels. For this alone it deserves to be championed.
You may never be able to relax in a hotel room again – not without a lot of antibacterial, anyway. A new study done by the University of Houston, with help from Purdue University and the University of South Carolina, looked into what surface areas in hotel rooms were most contaminated. Their hope was to identify "high-risk items," to help hotels figure out where to spend the most time cleaning.
While certain obvious items made the list, like the bathroom sink and toilet, less apparent surfaces were also indicated, like the bedside lamp switch. The TV remote was the biggest culprit, while the bed's headboard, the bathroom door handle and curtain rods were found to have the least amount of bacteria.
Apparently, the current method used to validate hotel room cleanliness is a simple visual assessment; however, this has been shown to be ineffective. Hopefully, this study will begin pushing hotels to up their sanitation efforts.

The Belva Lockwood Inn – A Restoration of love
Story and photos by Cindy Ruggieri
For Ike and Julie Lovelass, busy owners of the very popular Owego Kitchen restaurant, it was never in their plans to be innkeepers. But that was before they toured the beautiful historic Victorian home at 249 Front Street in Owego. 'This house spoke to us' says Julie. Ike smiles as he adds 'Julie didn't get past the foyer before she pulled out her notebook and started writing things down'.Thus began the journey to fully restore the property to its original beauty. The Inn is named for historical notable Belva Lockwood, who resided here from 1863 to 1865 as headmistress of a female seminary. She would go on to become the first female lawyer to argue a case before the Supreme Court, and a presidential candidate in 1884 and 1888.
The goal for the inn was to keep as much as possible authentic, but to update for the comfort of the guests. The house had fallen into disrepair, and much of it had to be stripped down to the studs. Once the dirt and grime was removed, the stunning wood floors were revealed and remain intact throughout the house. Room molding was restored, fireplaces were cleaned, window shutters were repaired and refinished, and the wooden staircases and railings were cleaned and polished. Pieces of the outside Victorian trim were found stored in the attic, so they were able to restore the exterior with only a few replacement pieces required. Ike and Julie's affection for this old house is obvious, as they point out the details in the architecture. "Look at the design on the door hinges," and "make sure you look up at the room moldings, how different it is in each room."
And then they added their own twist to the interior design. An old grand piano, circa 1865, left behind and beyond repair, was reused to create the bar in the dining area. Light fixtures were acquired from another old Owego building, the headboards on the beds are 5 panel slab doors, and most of the furniture was found in antique stores or auction houses. The one exception to the vintage décor is the ultra-modern kitchen, designed for their plans to host events. Breakfast is provided, delivered to each room in a vintage basket.
'We wanted to give the guests the option to eat wherever they wanted, whether privately in their rooms or by carrying their baskets to sit on the front porch in good weather," explains Julie.
Each of the 5 guest rooms has its own theme, with amenities including comfy queen beds, private baths, wifi, and smart TVs. The Lovelass room is named for Ike's parents, with his Mom's bike hanging on the wall. "She loved her bike, and rode it all over the place' says Ike. It was a way to honor her memory. The Gorman Suite is named for Julie's parents, and includes a sitting area and the original claw foot tub. The Tioga, Knickerbocker, and Eagles Club rooms all have their own story.
And then there is the novelty in the basement – a tunnel that extended from the house to the Susquehanna River. History shows Owego as part of the underground railroad, and there is speculation that perhaps this was one of the stops used along the way. But it has never been confirmed at this location, and other possible theories have been discussed, such as a delivery route during prohibition. The tunnel was filled in after the floods of the 70s, but the opening in the basement remains and still makes for a good conversation piece.
A short walk to downtown Owego, the Belva Lockwood Inn is one more reason to visit the charming small town of Owego. The Inn was opened on January 1, preserving the past while looking forward to the future.

The guided tour of two days will lead you to the discovery of one of the most extraordinary cities of northern Italy: Ravenna, the capital of mosaics.
Although uncertain in its foundation, Ravenna was the capital three times (of Western Roman Empire), of the Kingdom of Ostrogoths and of Byzantine Exarchate), enriching with treasures of art and culture which, in 1996, earned it the inscription in the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites of the "Early Christian Monuments of Ravenna".
During our visit we will have the opportunity to visit these places of great historical and artistic value. The Basilica of San Vitale, an exemplary combination of Italian and Byzantine craftsmen, is decorated with splendid mosaics which, together with the light that filters from different angles thanks to the particular architectural structure of the building, create an environment rich in mystical charm. Under a vault of stars, in the Mausoleum of Galla Placidia, built between 425 and 450 by the Empress daughter of Theodosius, we will be able to discover one of the first representations of the Good Shepherd (allegory of Christ).
Among the walls of the Baptistery of the Arians, an octagonal construction dating back to the 5th century, we will find the testimony of the cult of the Ostrogoth king Theodoric, of which we will also visit the massive Mausoleum, famous as the most beautiful work of Ostrogoth funerary art. The stone monolith above the mausoleum is surprising: almost 11 meters in diameter, 3 meters high and weighing about 230 tons.
We will visit the basilicas of Sant'Apollinare in Classe and Sant'Apollinare Nuovo dedicated to the first Bishop of Ravenna, of which both have kept the remains (transferred in the 9th century from Sant'Apollinare in Classe, which is located outside the walls, to Sant'Apollinare Nuovo, built by Theodoric as an Arian cult church and later converted to the Catholic church). Dedicated to St. Francis of Assisi in 1261 and place of the last farewell to the great poet Dante Alighieri on September 14th 1321, the Basilica of St. Francis amazes the visitor above all for his Crypt (dating from the 5th century and used to preserve the remains of the Bishop Neone) who, being below sea level, is invaded by water and fish …
Then we will visit one of the most beautiful abbeys in northern Italy, the Abbey of Pomposa, a monastic center immersed in the green that after the year 1000 saw its period of greatest flowering. The decorative plant, made by Bolognese craftsmen with oriental Persian and Syriac influences, is rich in Christian allegories. In the refectory of the monastery you can admire the most precious frescoes cycle of the Abbey, made by the Master of Tolentino and other works of Giotto school.
The trip to Ravenna, with overnight stay in a 4-star hotel and half-board treatment, will be the perfect opportunity to rediscover this beautiful city and its polychrome treasures.

N38 Sønderlem Vig and Geddal Tidal Meadows
Torben Høj
In 1876-77 a dam was built with a simple sluice to separate the shallow Sønderlem Vig bay from Venø Bugt. The dam provided a shorter route for traffic between north and south and also protected against flooding. South of Sønderlem Vig a summer dam was also constructed to protect the harvest on the meadows during the summer months. During World War I the economy of agriculture improved and permission was sought to drain the enclosed area. Royal permission was granted, but after the war the worsening economy meant that the project was not started. In 1940 the case was reopened and the state provided 2/3 of the finance required. Hedeselsket (The Heathland Society) designed a new project to dam the meadowlands around Sønderlem Vig and pump the water out into the bay so that corn could be grown in the drained areas. This led to major protests from fishing organisations as well as from nature and hunting organizations. When the project was put to the vote in 1944 is was the local people who said no. They did not think that the reclaimed land would be sufficiently fertile to justify the project – it contained too much sand.
Return to Nature
The project was finally abandoned in 1945. In 1955 an application was made for permission and support to regulate the water level in the bay and new pumps were installed and put into use in 1960, despite considerable protest. At about the same time, an area of 92 ha in Geddal Strandenge (tidal meadows) was drained with the construction of ditches and water pumps to allow cultivation. This project was completed in about 1958. In the period up to 1990 there were, however, several storms that ruined part of the dam and led to flooding by the sea. This resulted in a "return to nature" project and 140 ha of Geddal Strandenge was purchased by the state. The pumps were removed and posters communicating facts of the local nature have been erected. The area and its various projects bear witness to the way in which economic development and political interests have interplayed in the evolution of a large area with both nature and agriculture interests.
Dansk Ornitologisk forening
Natura 2000 Area no. 32 Sønderlem Vig and Geddal Strandenge
The Natura 2000 area is located partly in Holstebro municipality and the geopark and partly in Skive municipality. The nomination involves an area of 1.115 ha with a wide variety of types of nature: coastal lagoons, salt meadows, hard oligo-mesotrophic waters with benthic vegetation of Chara spp and alkaline fens. The area incudes 241 ha of open water. The Danish Nature Agency owns 118 ha of the area – primarily in Geddal Strandenge – while the rest is in private ownership. The presence of otters is a contributing factor to the nomination as a Natura 2000 area, and the otter population appears to be robust and stable. The area is maintained by grazing and the removal of unwanted vegetation. An application in being prepared to obtain funding from the EU LIFE programme to improve the natural conditions of the area.
Outdoor Life and Communication
