Carole Owens: Finding preservation/growth balance
By Carole Owens
STOCKBRIDGE — For decades there was an expressed wish to make the Berkshires a year-round destination. We finally succeeded; we have more tourists more often. As a direct result we have proposals for museums in the north, resorts in the south, and motels in between. By their coming, developers can change the very things they came for. So now we know — be careful what you wish for. We have what we wanted; now how do we deal with it?
What makes one place uniquely and distinctly that place? How do we preserve that? One mistake we make is talking about preserving the past. Truth is, as we consider the many development proposals, we are engaged in preserving our future. What Berkshire County will be in 20 years is based on what we decide to build or tear down, allow or disallow, now. What are the possibilities and choices available? Most important, what is sacrosanct?
Progress and preservation, land use and conservation are simultaneously cross--supportive and at odds. If we accept that change is inevitable and at the same time acknowledge that preservation and conservation are parts of sound planning, we do not have a solution; we have merely defined the problem.
The problems are oxymoronic. For example: those things that maximize profits can destroy the things we wished to purchase with the gain; the things that attract second home owners are changed by their coming, and in an effort to accommodate tourists, we build the things here that they traveled to escape.
Inherent contractions
Last summer, a tourist corralled a woman on the street and asked where to park. It was July; it was a good question. When dissatisfied with the answer, the tourist launched, "I would think you people would have ample parking, a free parking lot on Main Street, public toilets, fast food restaurants, and big signs directing people. It's just good sense to provide for them, if you want the tourists to come."
The beleaguered local hesitated only fractionally before saying, "But we don't."
Here is the problem. For decades Berkshire residents opposed fast food and lodging chains, obtrusive signs, the destruction of historic buildings to make way for parking and public rest rooms, and at the same time made their livings from the tourist industry. It seems contradictory, and it is just that: one example of inherent contradiction, and there are more.
Some of us support land conservation and affordable housing without realizing that protecting land makes the remaining land too expensive to develop at an affordable price.
Some are proponents of affordable housing, and at the same time opposed to cluster housing, the demolition of old buildings, and buildings higher than four-stories without realizing that this confluence of factors make housing unaffordable to all but the privileged few. The contradiction is not in the minds of the people but in the complex and interdependent aspects of the problem. And the problem is not new.
At the turn of the century, Stephen Field, who invented and constructed the first electric trolley car, led the fight against having one run on Main Street, Stockbridge. Inventor Field wanted Main Street preserved — even from him and his invention.
Today, preservationists, merchants, environmentalists, developers, full-time residents, and second home owners may think they represent six opposing sides and find they have bedfellows as strange as Mr. Field.For example, if Stockbridge "enters the 21t century" and puts up neon signs, parking lots, motels, and a Taco Bell on Red Lion corner for the tourists, there won't be any tourists. Why come here when they have that there? If we strictly preserve our bucolic hills without reference to modern invention, we lose our children to job markets elsewhere. There is no winning; no absolute right.
The complexity and internal contradictions inherent in planning — in modernizing, preserving, and conserving — call for sober contemplation. Something this way comes; in fact they are here. Whether their plans are good or bad, successful or not, they will change us by their coming. We cannot know whether they will make us richer or leave us with empty buildings, deserted malls, and parking lots.
Quiet discussion and cool heads must decide. Beware of those who claim to have all the answers; the wisest have all the right questions.

Mark Canha - Feeling Right at Home in the Bay Area
February 07, 2016 / Section925
(Click above to listen to Mark Canha's interview with Section925)
By Connor Buestad | Connor@Section925.com
Mark Canha is not your average Major League baseball player. He's redheaded, UC Berkeley educated, and is more interested in Michael Bauer's latest food review than what's happening on the latest edition of SportsCenter.
Despite a muscle-bound physique, a set of hefty sideburns and a job as a baseball player, Canha is more cultured than you might think. By now, you probably know of his comprehensive culinary micro-blog (@BigLeagueFoodie) that takes you along with Canha into the nation's most renowned and unique restaurants. But on top of that, Canha sports a dry, witty, and original sense of humor that A's fans have grown to love after just one year.
"I was under the radar in high school for whatever reason. I always think it was a conspiracy because of the redhead thing," Canha joked. "People don't like readheads, so I like to blame it on that."
— Mark Canha
After spending five seasons on the minor league circuit as an overlooked farmhand for the Miami Marlins, Canha made his rookie debut in an Athletics' uniform during the first home stand of 2015. Following a mishap at first base and pop-out to the catcher, Canha managed to laugh off the rocky start to his career in the Majors and turn it into a night he'll never forget.
Canha came up in the bottom of the third inning with the bases full and unloaded a drive to right field that was just inches from a Grand Slam. He settled for a bases-clearing double as his first Big League knock. By the end of the evening, Canha had three hits (two doubles) and four RBI.
The only thing that overshadowed Canha's monster debut was his humorous post-game press conference in the A's clubhouse, as he deadpanned a classic line from the iconic baseball film, Bull Durham. "Just trying to help the ball club," Canha explained to Oakland beat writers with a smile. "Give it my best shot, and the Good Lord willing, things will work out."
Whether or not Tim Robbins and Kevin Costner contacted Canha to congratulate the rookie on his performance is unknown, but manager Bob Melvin plugged him in the lineup the following night and off he went. By season's end, he had played in 124 games and tallied 121 hits to go along with 22 doubles and 16 homers. In the month of August, Canha hit over .300. Not bad for a rookie that the Miami Marlins gave away.

Canha was born and raised in San Jose where he eventually attended Bellarmine College Prep. One of the oldest and most prestigious schools in the Bay Area, Bellarmine prides itself on offering top-notch academics to go along with some of the best athletic programs in the state of California. Canha made sure to take advantage of both, succeeding on the competitive campus both on and off the field. But even after putting up big stats for the Bells (a team that boasts 14 MLB alums), Canha was still not as heavily recruited as he would have liked. His dream was Stanford, but then hitting coach and former Phillies first-baseman Jon Zuber convinced him to come to Berkeley and play for him at CAL.
"I was under the radar in high school for whatever reason. I always think it was a conspiracy because of the redhead thing," Canha joked. "People don't like readheads, so I like to blame it on that. But Zuber found me."
In Berkeley, Canha joined a star-studded roster that forced him to wait his turn as a freshman. But come sophomore year, Canha was poised to break out and he credits the work he put in with the equally dry-humored coach Zuber as a key to his success.
"Zub was instrumental in my success of my breakout sophomore season. We did a lot of work in the Fall and I saw results. You build up confidence and see results, then you get more confidence. Zub really taught me how to hit in college. I had to make some changes."
After leading the PAC-10 with 69 RBI as a junior, Canha would leave Berkeley a year early after being selected by the Florida Marlins in the 7th round. Once in their minor league system, Canha put up solid numbers year in and year out, but still felt as though he was overlooked. "I eventually came to the realization that I wasn't a part of the Marlins' Big Leagues plans," said Canha.
It was hard to tell where Canha's baseball career was headed following his 2014 season. All he really knew was that his wife Marci (also from San Jose) wanted to pursue her architecture career in the Bay Area. That's why the Canha's were elated when A's GM David Forst gave Mark a call to let him know the A's had signed him.
"Getting a call from David Forst, it was like bedlam for us," remembers Canha. "We were unsure where this baseball thing was taking us and the fact that it took us to the Bay Area was outstanding for us."
From the moment Canha arrived in the A's clubhouse he was as comfortable as he ever felt. It showed in Spring Training last year as the hungry redhead led the team in homers while down in Arizona. He was playing alongside former teammate Marcus Semien and under Bob Melvin, both of which played at CAL. Needless to say, this felt like home for Canha.
In 2015, Canha played 75 games at 1st base and 58 games in left field, as well as few appearances sprinkled in at RF and DH. Wearing Josh Donaldson's #20, Canha did his best to fill the void of the lost right handed power bat. A self-proclaimed lover of home runs, Canha didn't get cheated at the plate as rookie. Seemingly loading up and letting it fly each and every at-bat.
With 2016 Spring Training just weeks away, Canha has a ton to look forward to in his sophomore campaign in the Green and Gold. He figures to be a key bat in the A's lineup this year as he moves into his prime years as a pro (Canha turns 27 on Feb. 15th). He just recently finished filming a series of Green Collar commercials in Arizona and is now hunkered down at the Baseball Rebellion training facility in North Carolina, working with his hitting guru, Chas Pippitt.
Now that he and his wife are happily settled in San Francisco, one of the only worries Canha has at the moment is what walkup song he should use at the Coliseum this year (he wants your help, btw). Other than that, Canha is thrilled to be in the food centric Bay Area, with plenty of fodder for @BigLeagueFoodie and even more at-bats in the ever-young Oakland A's batting order.
"I went through the system for so long," Canha told Tripper Ortman of Section925. "Really it sounds cliché, it's very Bull Durham of me to say this, but I'm just happy to be here. Truly, I'm just happy to be in the Big Leagues. As cliché as it sounds."
The Good Lord willing, things will work out.
Canha prides himself on being a versatile defender, splitting time between the A's infield and outfield. (photo by Thearon W. Henderson)

Debt collectors and creditors must follow certain laws when contacting you. They cannot harass you by bullying you into paying using any means. Debt collectors must stop calling if you tell them to stop, except for such a reason as advising you that they received your request. Hussin Law in Encinitas will inform you about your rights and how to stop collections calls and seek damages when your rights are violated.
Debt collection in and of itself may be necessary, but if you have debt collectors harassing you, that's illegal, and you have solutions to stop it. You have rights even if you are in debt collection. I will explore your options with you and advocate for you every step of the way.
The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act is a federal act that protects you, the consumer, against unfair practices by debt collectors and creditors, including harassment and contacting your friends, relatives or neighbors in an effort to contact you. Debt collectors often use underhanded tactics to scare people into paying a debt, but some of those tactics are not legal. For instance, a debt collector cannot contact any third party about your debt or threaten you with jail time for not paying immediately. Potential relief may include recovery of your garnished wages, up to $1,000 in statutory damages and payment of your attorney fees and costs.
The Fair Credit Reporting Act dictates rules for those who use your credit report to extend credit to you. It also regulates consumer reporting agencies, such as those that sell your information, including your medical records, check-writing history, and credit bureau and rental history records. Your rights include knowing what is in your credit file and if any of that information has been used against you. I will help you file a complaint against the harassing agency if the information has caused you distress or lost wages.
It is a horrible feeling when you look at your cellphone and see an unknown number — you've been struggling financially, and you just know it's a creditor or debt collection agency. Especially when it's the latter, whatever you do, the results are not going to be good; if you don't pick up the phone, the agency will just keep calling you, often at inappropriate hours, and if you do answer, you will be bullied. My clients don't have to deal with this, because debt collectors know that once a lawyer gets involved, they better stop any illegal practices, such as threatening jail time or sending unwanted text messages. Otherwise, they may have to pay hefty fines and compensate you for the harm.
Learn more about your rights as a debtor from Hussin Law, a highly responsive attorney in California. I will use my extensive experience in this area of the law to ensure you get the comprehensive counsel you need to stop creditor harassment, repair your credit or address issues with your credit report.

Movie Answer Man
What color were Zuzu's petals in "It's a Wonderful Life"? Easy!
Roger Ebert December 23, 2009
Q. Regarding the upcoming M. Night Shyamalan vehicle "The Last Airbender," what do you think about the whitewashing of the production so that all of the original Asian cultural landmarks, architecture, philosophy, and costume design are being retained while they cast white kids to play the main characters? Arlene C. Harris
A. Wrong. The original series "Avatar: The Last Airbender" was highly regarded and popular for three seasons on Nickelodeon. Its fans take it for granted that its heroes are Asian. Why would Paramount and Shyamalan go out of their way to offend these fans? There are many young Asian actors capable of playing the parts.
Q. Heavens! I understand that Sherlock Holmes, in the new "Sherlock Holmes," doesn't smoke his Sherlock Holmes pipe! The fact that he doesn't wear his deerstalker hat is one thing: I always thought it would make him too visible. But to not smoke his pipe? Surely a pipe smoker is deeply attached to his favorite pipe! Ron Barzell, Los Angeles
A. We may think of Holmes as smoking a meerschaum calabash, but that was associated with him largely because of the many Basil Rathbone films. The famous Sidney Paget illustrations appearing with the original Arthur Conan Doyle stories showed him with a much more conventional pipe (see above).
Q. You point out that Clint Eastwood's "Invictus" is certainly not the Nelson Mandela biopic you, or indeed anyone, would have expected. You also point out one very likely reason Mr. Eastwood chose it. He was able to get it made. May I posit another potential reason?
I had to disappoint my son by explaining that I did not think it was an appropriate film for me to take him to. He has seen the previews and is desperate to see the movie. He is a big rugby fan, and there is a local team here in Dallas, the Dallas Harlequins, that we watch regularly. I explained this was not simply a movie about rugby. This lead to a long and detailed conversation about apartheid, Mandela, de Klerk, the ANC and the history of South Africa.
We spent time looking at photos of District Six. He found it very difficult to believe that people could treat each other that way because of a difference in skin color. My son is 6 years old and is a white child at a majority-minority public school.
I suspect that conversations happening between fathers and sons just like that may be the reason this movie was made, rather than a more traditional biopic. If not for the sight of a rugby scrum on the TV, I doubt he would have glanced up. It's maybe not a big "grabber" in the U.S., but rugby is an international sport, and God knows racism is an international problem.
I look forward to seeing "Invictus" this weekend with my wife -- after I take my son to the Dallas 'Quins game of course. Jason M. Fitzmaurice, Dallas, TX
A. You make me suspect my review was written from an insufficient perspective.
Q. After reading your Answer Man column in the Sun-Times yesterday, in which you addressed the rumor that Jack Benny appears in "Casablanca," I pulled out my DVD to see what I could see. My DVD player has the capability to zoom in on the picture as well as slow the film down. There is no doubt in my mind that it is indeed Jack Benny of Waukegan sitting at the table behind Sam.
We have a local station that replays many old TV shows ("Terry and the Pirates," "Dragnet," "The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet," "Love That Bob") from the 1950s and "The Jack Benny Show" is on twice a week. Just from watching the few moments of the film, you can see the traits and distinct idiosyncrasies that made him who he was.
So as not to "ham it up," Jack turns away from the camera several times to have a conversation with another actor. Interestingly, later in the same scene, when Bogart hides the "letters of transit" in Sam's piano, Jack has been replaced with another extra. I can only assume that Mr. Benny had a dispute with the waiter over the bill and got the boot. Dave Bahnsen, Coralville, Iowa
A. I think you're right. The Jack Benny Fan Club can feel vindicated.
Q. In most of Charlie Kaufman's films ("Being John Malkovich," "Synecdoche, New York," and "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind," at least), a character smokes marijuana, which I thought was an interesting similarity. In each of these films, the plot is full of delightful but completely bizarre moments. It seems to reflect the state of someone's mind while pot-smoking (i.e., misheard words, distorted reality). What is your opinion? Nick Duval, Wallingford, Conn.
A. My theory is that it's entirely plausible.
Q. This is a ridiculous question, but one I would like an answer to nonetheless. Which was the first movie with "blood dust?" That's what I call it when someone gets shot and a cloud of red dust bursts out of the wound. I can't imagine that happens when someone really gets shot, but it's a neat little Hollywood invention that I was wondering the origins of. The first time I remember seeing it was in "Red Dawn" (1984) but it may go back further than that. Like I said, ridiculous. Joe Campbell, Philadelphia, PA
A. The only "first time" I'm sure about is when Clark Gable said "damn" in a movie for the first time.
Q. You might get this question all the time, but I was thinking about this as I was driving home last night. It occurred to me that you have a considerable "pull" in the film industry, and I'm guessing that a positive review from you might add millions of dollars to a movie's gross. I'm sure this isn't lost on movie executives, and I was just wondering if anyone's ever approached you with any kind of cash offer or a payoff for giving their crappy film a good review. Minder Singh, New Brunswick, N.J.
A. They're lining up for appointments. But I only see the indie directors with their little Sundance films. They pay the big bucks.
Q. Upon asking my 25-year-old sister what she would like for Christmas, she responded with the following: " 'It's a Wonderful Life' on DVD -- but make sure it's in color!" Disgusted, I asked her why she would ever want to watch the colorized version over the black-and-white original. Her response made me laugh. "Well, how am I supposed to tell what color Zuzu's petals are?"
My family did grow up watching the colorized version of the Capra classic, but I have since returned to watching it in black and white, and find it less nauseating on the whole. The colorized version seems hardly colorized at all; it's merely a mix of hodgepodge faux "colors" that clash when they appear together on screen. I kind of like not knowing what color Zuzu's petals really are. But then again, when one watches the distorted colorized version (shame on you, Ted Turner), is it even possible to tell then? Jordan C. Wellin, South Bend, Ind.
A. About colorization, Bette Davis said, "Nobody had to be told that Jezebel's dress was red." But as to your question, Zuzu's petals were a lovely pink in the center, surrounded by a deeper hue, and does your sister have small feet? http://j.mp/594k8l
Roger Ebert was the film critic of the Chicago Sun-Times from 1967 until his death in 2013. In 1975, he won the Pulitzer Prize for distinguished criticism.

'Minister, Forgive Them, For They Know Not What They Do'
by Frank Schell
In a shocking repudiation of their own political establishment and the European elites, 51.9 per cent of the British voting electorate decided on June 23 to sever relations with the European Union. Immigration angst, unemployment, partial surrender of sovereignty to Brussels, and overwrought rules and regulations from the Continent have been cited among the causes of the Brexit movement. Prime Minister David Cameron who opposed the British exit has announced his resignation.
The "Leave" votes outnumbered the "Remain" votes by nearly 1.3 million, a relatively small number of people to determine the course of global architecture having antecedents established by the Treaty of Rome in 1958 — and to fracture a union of twenty-eight countries. Those countries have a total population of over 500 million and collectively have second largest GDP in the world based on both purchasing power parity, and on a nominal basis by some estimates.
With Scotland opting to remain in the EU by a margin of 62%, the obvious question is this: did the English public know what they were doing and did they know how severe the consequences could be for Britain and the world?
The resentment of British and European elites and fear of a loss of control of Queen and country are understandable. But the proponents of Brexit made limited public effort to reform the European Union and lobby the court of world opinion to their cause. Instead, like angry children they stormed out of the room with a tapestry of legitimate grievances. Now, even some who voted "Leave" evidently have remorse. At this writing, over three million signatures have been obtained for a new referendum. The knock-on effects of this rash act are known unknowns but alarming indeed.
First, anything that weakens Europe plays into the meaty hands of Russian strongman Vladimir Putin. As the Kremlin slyly rejoices, we should now expect more tactics of intimidation, leveraging of the energy supply, and subversion in the Baltic republics in the name of protecting ethnic Russian minorities there, particularly in Latvia and Estonia. A divided Europe, moreover, may increase resentment among the members of NATO. Britain is among the five of twenty-eight NATO nations that pay more than 2% of GDP for defense.
Second, we have already seen the destruction of about $2 trillion in global equity markets. Many Britons, including those who voted "Leave," are now seeing the grim reality in their savings and brokerage accounts. And this is just the beginning of the financial and economic fallout. Now a soloist, Britain will need to renegotiate various trade agreements, but without the backing of the European consortium for leverage. Direct investment in Britain will likely be on hold, as boards of directors assess a new level of cross-border risk and lower earnings in Britain and Europe due to the decline of sterling and the euro. The world's fifth largest economy and member of the G7 will limp into world forums, as investors question the credibility of London as a global financial center.
Third, secessionist movements will be emboldened. It is hard to believe that Scotland will not press for another referendum for independence. And elements in France, the Netherlands and Italy want a referendum.
Finally, a likely consequence will be the isolation of Britain and resentment all over the world for its self-destructive and contagious act. How many tourists will want to see Whitehall and Westminster Abbey and buy a tee shirt that says, "I love Britain?"
The Brexit vote is non-binding and subject to a potential act of Parliament, which is sovereign. Let us hope that the MPs will see the folly of this monstrous course adopted by a small majority and forgive them for their ill-informed thinking. With stiff upper lip, they should affirm EU membership but present their case to the world to reform the bureaucratic and patronizing ways of the Eurocrats in Brussels. The Brexit vote has demonstrated the vicious resentment of the Continent, and it may offer a new platform for timely reform. But it is nonetheless a badly misguided and destructive act of revenge.
As Albert Einstein said, "Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe."

Big homogenizes culture, and destroys local community and culture. Think globalization and global trade pacts.
Big, as a top down operation accumulates corruption and influence buying like predator fish accumulate mercury.
Bigness has evolved as a central dimension of civilization. But I challenge whether it is a necessary or even optimal element. Perhaps, the next step after big is small, a fractal pulse that raises freedom, democracy, connection and humanity to the next level.
I've written, in my article, Treating Extreme Wealth As a Disease, about how wealth and the desire for money can be psychologically pathological related to addiction, narcissism, depression or psychopathy. It may be that the need and desire for bigness is sometimes a pathologically neurotic or psychotic behavior.
We see some consumer manifestations of bigness-need that have unnecessary risks.

KITTIE To Release 'Live At The London Music Hall' Concert Film
KITTIE will release a new concert film titled "Kittie: Live At The London Music Hall" on March 26. It features footage of the Canadian metal band's October 27, 2017 20th-anniversary hometown show at the London Music Hall in London, Ontario. The event, which also served as a screening of the long-in-the-making documentary "Kittie: Origins/Evolutions", saw KITTIE mainstays Morgan Lander (guitar, vocals) and Mercedes Lander (drums) take the stage with a number of their former bandmates to perform songs from the group's entire repertoire.
In addition to Morgan and Mercedes, the musicans that took the stage that night included:
* Ivy Vujic (bass)
* Jennifer Arroyo (bass)
* Jeff Phillips (guitar/bass)
* Fallon Bowman (guitar/vocals)
* Tanya Candler (bass)
The the final song, "Funeral For Yesterday", was played unplugged and dedicated former KITTIE bassist Trish Doan, who died earlier in 2017.
"I know we have people here from Germany and Australia, and all over," Morgan told the audience at the London show. "Tonight has been so special, and it really means so much to all of us. We have the best fans in the world."
A trailer for "Kittie: Live At The London Music Hall" is available below.
KITTIE was formed in 1996 by Mercedes and Morgan, lead guitarist Fallon Bowman and bassist Tanya Candler. Tanya left KITTIE soon after recording of its debut album, "Spit", which has sold more than 1.2 million copies. Bowman exited the group in 2001. Guitarist Tara McLeod and bass player Trish Doan joined the band in 2005. Although Doan left for health reasons in 2008, she returned three years later. Other musicians who have played with KITTIE during the years include Talena Atfield, Lisa Marx, Jennifer Arroyo and Ivana "Ivy" Vujic.
The band has released five albums since "Spit": "Oracle" (2001), "Until The End" (2004), "Funeral For Yesterday" (2007), "In The Black" (2009) and "I've Failed You" (2011).

Burgers, sausages as big a cancer threat as cigarettes!
The Department of Health has already advised that people who eat a lot of red and processed meat a day (more than 90g cooked weight) cut down to 70g.
The WHO's worldwide Agency for Research on Cancer presumes processed meat to be "carcinogenic to humans".
"People who eat a lot of these meats are at higher risk of bowel cancer than those who eat small amounts", it adds.
The IARC's evaluation is understood to follow a review by scientists from 10 countries, who analysed all previous research in an approach known as a meta-study.
WE "LIKE LIKE" Bacon, but science is trying its best to ruin our enjoyment of the delicious meat by saying it's just as likely to cause cancer as smoking.
Processed meat is one which is preserved by curing or salting, by adding of preservatives or by smoking.
It lists processed and red meat on the "encyclopaedia of carcinogens" which also includes cigarettes and asbestos.
A few estimates suggest that half of cases of bowel cancer – Britain's second biggest cancer killer – could be prevented by healthier lifestyles.
A cooked breakfast containing two typical British sausages and two rashers of bacon is equivalent to 130g.
But it could have huge repercussions for the meat industry, which will be mindful that sugar sales fell a year ago after the World Health Organization issued a warning on overconsumption.
Professor Robert Pickard, Emeritus Professor of Neurobiology at the University of Cardiff, a member of the Meat Advisory Panel, said "Avoiding red meat in the diet is not a protective strategy against cancer".

My old website was cumbersome to navigate, and impossible for me to update, but I put off changing it because I feared how difficult it would be. Chris made it painless. He was amazing to work with in every way. When I announced my new site to my clients I got comments such as "fantastic web site"; "slick, clean and fast"; "looks great and is informative". I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Chris and Modo Media Group.
I have had the great pleasure of knowing and working with Chris for about 4 months now. He has been paramount in the recreation of my website and online strategy. His work ethic, attention to detail and patience is second to none. I could not recommend him more highly. Thank you, Chris and Modo Media Group.
Chris is the consummate professional. From the first meeting to the moment when we went live with our website, he was a dream to work with. We called him constantly with questions, requests and changes, and not once did he lose his cool or give us anything but top notch customer service. The guy is unflappable, and the quality of the website that he built for us is first rate. I had no idea our site could be this good. Chris never turned down a challenge and always managed to come up with a way to get something done and get it done right.

Axfoundation's innovative work in Future Food nominated as Sustainability Initiative of the Year
Press release 2020-08-25: Axfoundation's practical work under the banner of Future Food, with innovations such as Swedish legume mince, has been nominated as Sustainability Initiative of the Year at Dagligvarugalan 2020, an event celebrating achievements throughout the Swedish grocery industry organized by trade magazine Fri Köpenskap.
When this year's gala kicks off digitally on October 8, Axfoundation will be one of three finalists in the Sustainability Initiative of the Year category. The purpose of the category is to promote the Swedish grocery industry's work towards a more sustainable environment. Within Future Food, Axfoundation is innovating and accelerating concrete solutions to practical sustainability challenges in the food sector. Among the successful initiatives is the recently launched legume mince, which with its Swedish ingredients is gaining ground both on store shelves and at wholesalers and contributes to a protein shift. Swedish legume mince is one of many ideas that were born and gained vigor at Torsåker farm, Axfoundation's test farm and development center.
Axfoundation's colleagues in Future Food; Madeleine Linins Mörner, Andrea Giesecke, Anna Henning Moberg and Maria Lundesjö (Christin Hanssen not in the picture).
"We aim for Torsåker Farm to be a catalyst that contributes to the development of sustainable food production, innovation, knowledge sharing," says Madeleine Linins Mörner, program director for Future Food, Axfoundation. "At Torsåker, we can literally follow every step of the process – from sprout to finished product, and in collaboration with the entire industry push towards sustainable food systems."
Torsåker Farm, Axfoundation's test farm and development center for sustainable food production of the future.
By collaborating with actors across the entire food chain, Swedish legume mince has gone from idea to finished product on the shelves in less than two years. From first being sold on a small scale at retailer Urban Deli, the product is today included in several vegetarian meal solutions, including lasagna, taco mince and Bolognese sauce sold at Hemköp food stores and online food retailer Mat.se under Axfood's private label Garant. The mince is also available in several ready-made dishes at Urban Deli and at the deli counter of selected ICA stores. Restaurants and public kitchens can buy the product from wholesalers.
As an independent non-profit organization with proximity to a large corporate group, Axfoundation has the opportunity to identify concrete sustainability challenges together with grocery players and pilot test practical solutions before they are scaled up. In addition to innovations in Future Good, Axfoundation also drives initiatives within the areas of Circular Economy, Inclusive Society, and Sustainable Production and Consumption.
Swedish legume mince that was born on Torsåker Farm consists of sweet lupine, broad beans, grey pea, leftovers from cold-pressed rapeseed oil production, and a little salt. Nothing more.
"We see ourselves as a test lab for new ideas, a 'do tank' rather than a think tank," says Maria Smith, Secretary General, Axfoundation. "We want to inspire, share knowledge and drive the development of a more sustainable society. We hope that the work we do together with around 225 partners can inspire more people to take action. This nomination shows that we are on the right track."
Axfoundation runs a development center for the sustainable food of the future at Torsåker Farm, just north of Stockholm. Representatives from the entire food chain gather here to find solutions for a sustainable food system. For example, delicious and sustainable alternatives to meat and reduced dependence on imported soy. Over the past year, their work with cultivating protein crops that can grow in Sweden has been very successful. The legume mince made from sweet lupine, broad bean and grey pea has made an impact with increasing volumes in both the grocery and restaurant industry. Axfoundation's work at Torsåker has great potential to make a significant difference to Sweden's future food supply.
Finalists of Dagligvarugalan 2020 have been nominated for 20 categories, including Sustainability Initiative of the Year. The jury groups consist of well-known figures of the Swedish grocery trade.
Some of the innovations and practical solutions Axfoundation worked with 2019-2020 as part of the Future Food program:
Swedish legume mince: A sustainable, delicious and nutritious alternative to minced meat that contributes to a protein shift in Sweden.
Underutilized fish species: Investigates the possibility of taking advantage of underutilized fish species such as bream.
Five tonnes of green fish: Building an infrastructure to convert vegetable residual streams into a qualitative protein raw material for farmed fish.
Antibiotics critera 2.0: Developing industry-wide criteria for antibiotic use and animal welfare when purchasing meat, dairy products and seafood.
Perennial crops: A perennial wheat has been developed by domestication of intermediate wheatgrass.

The Joshua Ward House is a historic house in Salem, Massachusetts. The three-story Federal style brick house, built in 1784, is one of the first brick houses in Salem. Its interior woodwork was done by noted Salem builder and woodworker Samuel McIntire, including an original staircase that is the oldest surviving staircase created by him. George Washington is reported to have specifically requested staying in this house when he visited Salem in 1789.

The building has an austere brick exterior laid in Flemish bond. Its four chimneys were damaged by storms in its early years, and again in the 1938 New England Hurricane. The house was used in the 19th century as a tavern. It was built on the same site as the former home of Sheriff George Corwin, famously associated with the Salem witch trials.

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978, and included in the Downtown Salem District in 1983.

In 2015 it was turned into a hotel.

Are tax credits available for the Toyota Rav4 hybrid?
Toyota is expected to receive tax rebates ranging from $7 to $7,500.
Toyota's limit of 200,000 electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids that qualify for the $7,500 federal tax credit has been surpassed.
The $7,500 federal tax credit is not applicable to plug-in electric vehicles.
According to the U.S. Department of Energy, all newly acquired electric and plug-in hybrid cars from 2010 or
later may be eligible for up to $7,500 in federal tax credits.
For instance, California offers a credit of up to $7,000 when you purchase a brand-new electric vehicle or plug-in hybrid.
The credit under a previous scheme that tapered it out after 200,000 units sold will not be available to GM and
Tesla vehicles again until 2023 under the new regulations. After September 30, 2023,
purchasers of Toyota automobiles will not be qualified for any tax breaks.
However, when it comes to plug-in hybrids with gas-electric power, Toyota is most accurate, coming in third place
at least as far as whether Toyota is hitting the federal maximum limit for tax credits on these vehicles (PHEVs).

It's definitely spring on the seacoast of New Hamphire although the thermometer doesn't always reflect the season. Last night dipped into the mid-twenties. Water in the birdbaths are frozen solid this morning and blades of grass in the lawn are frozen stiff. Those temps won't last long today. The thermometer will rise to comfortable mid-40's, perfect for a brisk walk and perhaps a bit of fussing in the garden.
We've had rare nice days of 50's and 60's with blue skies and sunshine that lured me out for a little garen work. I've done most of the spring edging on the borders. I've trimmed and pruned. I've done a little cleanup but not too much leaf removal until we have steady temperatures in the 50's to protect any insects that might winter over in the leaf litter. I'm careful of not working in too wet and squishy ground, too, as too much treading will squeeze ozygen from the soil.
I won't have to worry about rabbits or deer grazing one of the first greens above ground….several plants in the onion family. We see chives, garlic chives, and the ornamental allium greens that are not fazed by the cold. I have two varieties of allium and love both. The allium 'Giganteum' was moved in the fall to a more protected area. The sturdy scapes can be up to 4′ tall with a dense round flower head. With that height, they needed a protected area between shrubs and out of the big winds.
The allium 'Millenium' below grows as a compact mass of rosy round blooms about a foot in height that appear mid-summer giving us over a month of glorious blooms and shiny green foilage that persist following the blooms. I have divided my clumps a few times and fussing over several in pots, hoping to have them ready for our garden club auction in June.
All the often overlooked plants in the onion family are carefree, drought resistant, pest-free, easy to grow, and greatly attract butterflies, bees and other pollinators. We have a lot of bumblebees that visit but have not seen a honeybees for a couple of summers. Hallelujah, a friend and nearby neighbor is a brand new beekeeper. We have seen the early scouts from her hive several times and I know they'll be back for all I offer in this garden all summer… including the blooms in the onion family!
I'd love to keep bees, too. So many beekeepers are popping up around these parts that a ready supply of honey in various flavors is always available. I'm thrilled to have one so close to us.
Ha ha ha…I am about to post a photo of a deer in our garden also. They can't wait for the foliage to come out in the forests.
It's a first sighting of a deer in the hood. We're surrounded by meadows that need to green up fast!
The deer was out taking a stroll, dreaming of the future buffet – at least that's what they do here. I had planned to take up beekeeping, but the husband has developed severe allergies to the stings, so that's out. I was feeling pretty concerned that I didn't see any honey bees on our fruit trees, they are always plentiful, finally this week they showed up in droves – yay!
Don't you love the sound of bees on fruit trees? We have a couple of crabapple trees and I can't wait to see blooms and bees.
Someone else just posted pictures of snow in Maine. I am glad to be in California.
Yes, there is snow north of us but we can see the lawn again in southern New Hampshire. It's solid ice a few inches into the ground. I tried to dig up a plant to move yesterday and felt like my shovel hit bricks… just solid ice.
So . . . are people just not allowed to pass away over winter if graves can not be dug?
😊 Depending on location, some may still have to wait for the thaw but now they have ground heaters to thaw the soil and heavy machinery for digging.
Goodness! I should not have asked.

This Psalm was written by David, for the people to sing as they entered Jerusalem for a holy feast.
This is Thanksgiving week, so most of us have feasts on our minds and in our plans. And if your family is like most, you're saying your own prayer asking for peace among relatives and friends.
This fall's presidential election has exposed rifts in many families. For some, the divide we see across our country is often a divide we see in our own personal lives as well.
It is difficult to know how to find peace. We don't want to bury our own principles and morals for the sake of a nice dinner. But we don't want to start a war of words on a day of thanksgiving, either.
The always wise Rev. Molly Phinney-Baskette recently posted online a list of things she plans to do in response to this election. From that list, I want to lift up two in particular.
The first action was to subscribe to a newspaper that still practices investigative journalism, such as the New York Times or the Washington Post.
My background is in print journalism, a dying profession. When I studied journalism, objectivity was highly valued. It was something reporters and editors would strive for, and take pride in.
Today, objectivity in the media is difficult to find. News reporting and opinion – once carefully separated in the pages of traditional newspapers – has been mixed together. More people have a voice – but fewer seem to be using it responsibly.
We need to get out of our echo chambers, and to make an effort instead to receive our news from sources that still value objectivity and truthfulness.
The second action Molly said she was taking is to sign on with a "pen pal" who voted the opposite way as she did in this election. It's the beginning of an attempt to understand why the people on the other side of the divide feel the way they do.
Not an easy conversation, to be sure. But an important one.
Maybe we start with a pen pal, as Molly suggests. Or maybe we start with those sitting across from us at the Thanksgiving table.
Dear God, help us. Help us to find peace without turning our backs on our convictions. Help us to hear truth. Help us to understand others. Help us.
may peace prevail over violence between Dakota Access Pipeline protestors and law enforcement officials in North Dakota.

Jackpocket Partners With Jets As Mobile Lottery Partner
Written By Mike Mazzeo on September 17, 2021
The Jets have three sports betting partnerships, and now they have a lottery partner too.
Jackpocket will serve as Gang Green's mobile lottery app after the sides agreed to a multi-year deal.
Recently, the Jets have added Fubo and WynnBET to their existing sports betting partnership with BetMGM.
Jackpocket Features Prizes During Jets' Home Games
According to the release, Jets' fans will have access to free lottery tickets in the Jackpocket mobile app. There will also be game-day activations at MetLife Stadium and prizes, including VIP game experiences and free tickets. A Jackpocket branded scratch-off game will also be featured on the Jets' mobile app.
"As the NFL's first digital lottery sponsorship, Jackpocket is proud to partner with the Jets, a New York institution," Jackpocket CEO Peter Sullivan said in the release. "With 87% of Jets' season ticket holders residing in New York or New Jersey, we are excited to introduce this dedicated fanbase to a new, easy way to play for big lottery jackpots right from their phone."
Study Finds Jets' Fans Like To Play Lotto
According to a YouGov survey, more than 20% of Jets' fans play the lottery each week.
Jackpocket launched in New York in January 2021 and New Jersey in December 2019.
The app provides users a secure way to order official state lottery tickets for Powerball, Mega Millions and Cash4Life. Users have won nearly $65 million in lottery prizes to date.
Jets Join AGA Responsible Sports Betting Campaign
The American Gaming Association wants NFL fans to bet responsibly. And the Jets will post in-stadium and digital content in MetLife Stadium that promotes responsible sports wagering. The slogan: "Know When To Huddle Up."
AGA research shows that a record 45.2 million Americans will bet on NFL games this season, up 36% from 2020.
"Leadership from professional sports teams like the Jets is critical to not only ensuring fans understand how to wager responsibly, but also getting sports betting right," AGA senior vice president Casey Clark said in a statement. "We're thrilled to welcome the team as a partner and value their commitment to prioritizing responsible sports betting education for their loyal fanbase."

Ricardo Emilio Piglia Renzi (Adrogué, 24 de novembre de 1941-Buenos Aires, 6 de gener de 2017) va ser un escriptor i crític literari argentí.

Trajectòria
Després de la caiguda de Perón (1955), es va anar amb la seva família d'Adrogué i es va instal·lar a Mar del Plata. Piglia va estudiar Història en la Universitat Nacional de la Plata, ciutat on va viure fins a 1965. Després va treballar durant una dècada en editorials de Buenos Aires, va dirigir la Sèrie Negra, famosa col·lecció de policials que va difondre Dashiell Hammett, Raymond Chandler, David Goodis i Horace McCoy. «Vaig començar a llegir policials gairebé com un desviament natural del meu interès per la literatura estatunidenca. Un llegeix a Fitzgerald, després a Faulkner i ràpidament es troba amb Hammett i amb David Goodis. Més tard, entre 1968 i 1976, vaig llegir policials per necessitat professional, ja que dirigia una col·lecció», va dir en una oportunitat. Durant la dictadura d'Onganía va abandonar el país i va marxar a l'exili.

Piglia ha assenyalat que dues poètiques antagòniques i els seus reversos li han interessat: la que està basada en l'oralitat, aparentment «popular», que ha arribat a una espècie de crispació expressiva, com Guimaraes Rosa o Juan Rulfo; i la de la «avantguarda» que treballa amb la idea que l'estil és plural: tant James Joyce com Manuel Puig, per exemple, van treballar amb registres múltiples.

Va començar a escriure en la segona meitat dels anys 1950 en Mar del Plata el seu Diario, i ho ha continuat durant tota la seva vida. Va rebre un esment especial en el VII concurs Casa de las Américas, Cuba, i això va significar la publicació del seu primer llibre: el de contes Jaulario. Però el reconeixement internacional ho deu a la seva primera novel·la Respiración artificial, de 1980.

Piglia va ser, a més, crític, assagista i professor acadèmic, que ha estudiat a Bertold Brecht, Benjamin i Lukács, a Erich Auerbach, Szondi i Vernant, als russos Tiniánov, Sklovski o Bajtin. Ha escrit sobre la seva pròpia escriptura (que està lligada a la crítica) i ha elaborat assajos sobre Roberto Arlt, Borges, Sarmiento, Macedonio Fernández i altres escriptors argentins.

Piglia va viure als Estats Units, on va ser professor en diverses universitats, entre les quals figuren les de Harvard i Princeton, en les quals va fer classes durant una quinzena d'anys. De la segona es va jubilar a finalitats de 2010.<ref name=enferme>Javier García. Piglia, literatura y enfermedad , La Tercera, 30.05.2015; acceso el mismo día</ref>

Encara que estava instal·lat en aquest país, on tenia casa pròpia (Markham Road 28) amb la seva dona, l'artista Martha Eguía, va decidir tornar a Argentina: al desembre de 2011 va arribar a Buenos Aires i va començar a escriure, amb elements autobiogràfics, la novel·la El camino de Ida, que va publicar Anagrama en 2013. Després del seu retorn, Piglia va gravar també un programa de televisió de quatre capítols en els quals ensenya sobre Jorge Luis Borges i va dirigir una col·lecció de reedicions de la literatura argentina.

Al costat del músic Gerardo Gandini va compondre l'òpera La ciudad ausente, basada en la seva pròpia novel·la, estrenada en el Teatre Colón en 1995. Com antòleg ha publicat, entre altres llibres, Crímenes perfectos i La fieras, tots dos amb obres del gènere policial.
També al costat del dibuixant Luis Scafati i a l'escriptor Pablo De Santis van realitzar una versió gràfica de la novel·la "La ciudad ausente" editada a Argentina per Oceano-Temas i a Espanya per Libros del Zorro Rojo. La seva obra ha estat traduïda a nombrosos idiomes, particularment a l'anglès, francès, italià, alemany i portuguès.

En 2014 se li va diagnosticar una Esclerosi lateral amiotròfica (ELA), la qual cosa va afectar considerablement la seva salut; malgrat això, va continuar treballant, amb l'ajuda de la seva assistent, Luisa Fernández, en la selecció dels seus diaris i l'edició d'escrits inèdits. Va morir el 6 de gener de 2017, als setanta-cinc anys.Murió el escritor Ricardo Piglia La Nación, 6.1.2017

A més de la ja prevista publicació del tercer tom dels seus diaris, una editorial independent va reunir en volum, sota el títol Escritores norteamericanos, una sèrie d'assaigs escrits per Piglia a finalitats dels anys seixanta, per a una col·lecció d'autors estatunidencs a càrrec de Pirí Lugones i Jorge Álvarez.

 El cinema i Piglia
Va escriure els guions de les pel·lícules Comodines (1997), de Jorge Nisco; La sonámbula, recuerdos del futuro (1998), de Fernando Spiner; Corazón iluminado (1998), de Héctor Babenco; El astillero (2000), de David Lipszyc, basada en la novel·la homònima de Juan Carlos Onetti. Marcelo Piñeyro dirigí Plata quemada (2000), amb guió del mateix Piñeyro iy de Marcelo Figueras basat en la ·lde Piglia, film que va obtenir a Españnya el Premi Goya 2000 al millor llargmetratge estranger de parla hispana. També va escriure el guió per la minisèrie televisiva Los siete locos y los lanzallamas, basada en l'obra de Roberto Arlt.

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mar 15, 2019--The "Narcolepsy Market to 2027 - Global Analysis and Forecasts by Type; Distribution Channel and Geography" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The global narcolepsy market is expected to reach US$ 4,537.9 Mn in 2027 from US$ 2,026.8 Mn in 2018. The market is estimated to grow with a CAGR of 9.5% from 2019-2027.
The growth of the narcolepsy market is primarily attributed to the rising prevalence of sleep related neurological disorders, emerging local pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical companies, and increasing awareness regarding neurological disorders. However, side effects and risks associated with the narcolepsy medications and delayed diagnosis and misdiagnosis of the disease are likely to pose a negative impact on the market growth.
On the other hand, robust pipeline of drugs intended for the treatment of narcolepsy is likely to have a positive impact on the growth of the global narcolepsy market in the coming years. The range of sleep disorders that are treated by neurologists is wide and includes conditions such as insomnia, sleep apnea, restless legs syndrome, and narcolepsy. These disorders cause disruptions in the normal sleep-wake mechanisms causing endogenous abnormalities. Neurological sleep related disorders are an emerging problem as the population is aging at a rapid rate.
According to the National Institute of Health (NIH), approximately 40 million Americans suffer from neurological diseases in the US, whereas additional 20 million people experience occasional sleeping problems. Sleep attacks are not limited to periods of dull or low engagement activities, but can happen during school or work hours, in the middle of a conversation, while eating, while exercising or playing sports, or even while driving. The increasing prevalence of neurological sleep disorders and narcolepsy is likely to foster the growth of market in the coming years.
In 2018, the narcolepsy with cataplexy segment held a largest market share of 65.1% of the narcolepsy market, by type. This segment is also expected to dominate the market in 2027 owing to its significant prevalence among patients suffering with narcolepsy. Episodes of cataplexy are reported to be encountered among 55-60% of patients suffering with narcolepsy. Moreover, the similar segment is anticipated to also witness the fastest growth rate of 9.7% during the forecast period, 2019 to 2027 owing to the increasing demand for drugs to treat the disease.
Global narcolepsy market based on product was segmented into sodium oxybate, CNS stimulants and antidepressants. Sodium oxybate segment is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 9.8% during the forecast period. Sodium oxybate is the one of the primary medication recommended by specialists to patients suffering with narcolepsy. The high cost of the branded counterparts, availability of reimbursement with certain regions as well as approval of the drug in majority of the top markets is likely to contribute to the growth and dominance of the segment. Sodium is oxybate is also expected to exhibit highest growth witnessing a robust CAGR over the forecast years.
Some of the major primary and secondary sources for narcolepsy included in the report are World Health Organization (WHO), European Medical Agency (EMA), National Health Commission (NHC), China National Drug Administration (CNDA), Food & Drug Administration (FDA), National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Strokes, International Federation of Pharmaceutical Manufacturers & Associations and others.

Q: Migrating SVN to git doesn't migrate the tags to Azure DevOps

I'll migrate repositories from an own subversion server to a Azure DevOps git repository. For that I'm using next commands:
# Cloning
git svn clone --stdlayout --authors-file=autors.txt "http://www.subversion.com/svn/<repoName>" <repoName>
Set-Location <repoName>

# Creation of the repository using the REST APIs of DevOps by a .NET application

# Pushing
git remote add origin "https://organisation@dev.azure.com/organisation/repoName/_git/repoName";
git push -u origin --all;
git push origin --tags;

# Pushing each branch
[string[]]$svnBranches = svn ls "http://www.subversion.com/svn/<repoName>/branches/";

$svnBranches | ForEach-Object {
    [string]$name = $_.TrimEnd("/");
    Write-Host $name;
    git checkout $name;
    git push;
}

The problem is that the tags aren't pushed to DevOps. I've searched everywhere and found git push origin --tags but this doesn't work.
I've created the workaround for the branches to keep them in the DevOps repository, otherwise they are removed too.
This workaround I can't reuse for the tags because git tag -l gives no results and svn ls "http://www.subversion.com/svn/<repoName>/tags/" this error:

svn: E170013: Unable to connect to a repository at URL http://www.subversion.com/svn/<repoName>/tags/
svn: E175003: The server at http://www.subversion.com/svn/<repoName>/tags/ does not support the HTTP/DAV protocol

What else can I do to migrate the tags to the Azure DevOps git repository?

A: Derived from this post, here is what we are using (not using DevOps, but worked on GitLab and GitHub):
git svn clone https://.......
# Create repo on hosting service
cd <the-repo.git>
git for-each-ref --format='%(refname)' refs/remotes/origin/tags | cut -d/ -f5 | while read ref; do
  git tag -a "$ref" -m "$(git log --pretty=oneline refs/remotes/origin/tags/$ref | head -n1 | cut -d' ' -f2-)" "refs/remotes/origin/tags/$ref"
  git update-ref -d "refs/remotes/origin/tags/$ref"
done
git remote add origin .............
git push origin 'refs/remotes/origin/*:refs/heads/*'
git push origin --tags

A: I believe you should the following command to push data to DevOps:
git push -u --all --follow-tags origin

With this command, everything should be sent to the origin, including tags.
By the way, there's another tool that allows translating data from SVN to Git, its name is SubGit:
https://subgit.com
It allows to import more sophisticated repositories, probably, can be helpful in what you're doing.

VIDEO: New ScotRail high-speed train departs Dundee on landmark journey
By Blair Dingwall
October 10 2018, 2.51pm Updated: October 11 2018, 9.41am
Scotland's new high-speed train, which aims to transform rail travel across the country, stopped off in Dundee on Wednesday afternoon.
ScotRail's first Inter7City train officially entered service this morning on a journey from Aberdeen to Edinburgh.
The new ScotRail high-speed train in Dundee.
The firm say the high-speed service will connect Scotland's seven cities – boosting more seats, luggage space, power sockets, toilets and improved on-board hospitality.
The Inter7City train arrived in Dundee at 1pm en route to the capital.
Journeys will officially begin between Aberdeen and Edinburgh as of Monday, October 15.
which will run initially between Aberdeen and Edinburgh from Monday (15 October
ScotRail Alliance Managing Director Alex Hynes said: "This is another major milestone in our plan to build the best railway Scotland has ever had.
"Our Inter7City service will provide more seats, better services, and more comfortable journeys for our customers.
"The investment we are making in these iconic trains is a clear sign of the ScotRail Alliance's commitment to building a bigger and better railway for the whole of Scotland."
Cabinet secretary for transport, infrastructure, and connectivity Michael Matheson said: "The entry into service of the first fully upgraded high speed train (HST) is to be welcomed and I look forward to seeing more follow in the months ahead.
"Passengers have looked forward to the arrival of the fully refurbished HST fleet which will bring significant improvements for travellers on our inter-city routes between Scotland's seven main cities.
"ScotRail and Wabtec, its supplier, have given assurances they remain focused on ensuring the full fleet is in service as quickly and efficiently as possible, meaning even more passengers will soon benefit from faster trains which have the latest standard of comfort, accessibility and catering provision.
"The boost in seating provision will help support the overall 23 per cent increase in capacity being delivered during 2019 as rail continues to grow in popularity across Scotland."

Q: Can a value from $_POST *not* be a string? In PHP, can a value from the global $_POST array be something else than an array or a string?
The goal is to not have to check if everything is something else than an array or string in a script. If I know what type a variable has, I don't have to do some weird validation. If I expect a string, I don't have to cast everything to a string to make sure it is one.

A: $_POST["key"] = true;

var_dump($_POST["key"]); // bool(true)

The values set by the environment are strings though.

A: As per the documentation http://php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.post.php
An associative array of variables passed to the current script via the HTTP POST method.

So all the data sent is in associative array, in key value pair. There are Numbers (int, float etc), Strings, Arrays (of numbers or strings) and Objects data types.
Using the rule of elimination we can remove the Object from the supported data type, and the remaining left are strings, numbers and array.
Now, if you see the form, the input fields are taking strings, there is no indication that the value entered in the input field is number or string. So to be on safe side all the values which are posted are in strings. The array of elements also have the string values.
When you get the value in $_POST it is simply an array and you can override it any time
$_POST['username'] = 1;
var_dump($_POST['username']); // int (1)

I hope this make some sense

A: You can cast it to whatever you wish ^^
intval($_POST['INTEGER']);
or simply
 (int)$_POST['int']

The Salem Witch Trials
Collections & Exhibits > Exhibits > The Salem Witch Trials: Legal Resources
The Salem Martyr
Thomas Slatterwhite Noble, 1869
The law of the Salem Witch Trials is a fascinating mix of biblical passages and colonial statutes. According to Mark Podvia (see Timeline, PDF), the General Court of the Massachusetts Bay Colony adopted the following statute in 1641: "If any man or woman be a WITCH, that is, hath or consulteth with a familiar spirit, they shall be put to death. Exod. 22. 18. Levit. 20. 27. Deut. 18. 10. 11." The statute encompasses passages from the Bible written circa 700 B.C. Exodus states: "Thou shall not suffer a witch to live." Leviticus prescribes the punishment. Witches and wizards "shall surely be put to death: they shall stone them with stones: their blood shall be upon them." And Deuteronomy states: "There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch. Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer."
In Salem, the accusers and alleged victims came from a small group of girls aged nine to 19, including Betty Parris and Abigail Williams. In January 1692, Betty and Abigail had strange fits. Rumors spread through the village attributing the fits to the devil and the work of his evil hands. The accusers claimed the witchcraft came mostly from women, with the notable exception of four-year old Dorcas Good.
The colony created the Court of Oyer and Terminer especially for the witchcraft trials. The law did not then use the principle of "innocent until proven guilty" – if you made it to trial, the law presumed guilt. If the colony imprisoned you, you had to pay for your stay. Courts relied on three kinds of evidence: 1) confession, 2) testimony of two eyewitnesses to acts of witchcraft, or 3) spectral evidence (when the afflicted girls were having their fits, they would interact with an unseen assailant – the apparition of the witch tormenting them). According to Wendel Craker, no court ever convicted an accused of witchcraft on the basis of spectral evidence alone, but other forms of evidence were needed to corroborate the charge of witchcraft. Courts allowed "causal relationship" evidence, for example, to prove that the accused possessed or controlled an afflicted girl. Prior conflicts, bad acts by the accused, possession of materials used in spells, greater than average strength, and witch's marks also counted as evidence of witchcraft. If the accused was female, a jury of women examined her body for "witch's marks" which supposedly showed that a familiar had bitten or fed on the accused. Other evidence included the "touching test" (afficted girls tortured by fits became calm after touching the accused). Courts could not base convictions on confessions obtained through torture unless the accused reaffirmed the confession afterward, but if the accused recanted the confession, authorities usually tortured the accused further to obtain the confession again. If you recited the Lord's Prayer, you were not a witch. The colony did not burn witches, it hanged them.
Examination of a Witch
Thompkins H. Matteson, 1853
The Salem Witch Trials divided the community. Neighbor testified against neighbor. Children against parents. Husband against wife. Children died in prisons. Familes were destroyed. Churches removed from their congregations some of the persons accused of witchcraft. After the Court of Oyer and Terminer was dissolved, the Superior Court of Judicature took over the witchcraft cases. They disallowed spectral evidence. Most accusations of witchcraft then resulted in acquittals. An essay by Increase Mather, a prominent minister, may have helped stop the witch trials craze in Salem.

Le Suore della Carità della Beata Vergine Maria (in inglese Sisters of Charity of the Blessed Virgin Mary) sono un istituto religioso femminile di diritto pontificio: i membri di questa congregazione pospongono al loro nome la sigla B.V.M

Storia
Nel 1831, in occasione di un'epidemia di colera, cinque giovani donne di Dublino iniziarono a dedicarsi all'assistenza agli ammalati della città: l'anno seguente, terminato il pericolo del contagio, le donne aprirono una scuola. Nel luglio del 1833 la comunità, accogliendo l'invito di un prete di Philadelhia ad aprire una scuola in Pennsylvania, partì per gli Stati Uniti d'America e, con l'aiuto del sacerdote Terence Donaghoe, le donne si organizzarono in congregazione religiosa.

La congregazione venne approvata da Francis Patrick Kenrick, vescovo di Philadelhia, nel 1833; il vescovo nominò superiora dell'istituto suor Mary Frances Clarke (1803-1887), ritenuta fondatrice della famiglia religiosa insieme con Donaghoe. Nel 1843 Pierre Loras, vescovo di Dubuque, propose alle religiose di trasferirsi nella sua diocesi, appena istituita: le suore chiusero la loro scuola di Philadelphia e trasferirono la loro opera a Dubuque, da dove si diffusero rapidamente in tutto l'Iowa e nella regione di Chicago.

Le Suore della Carità della Beata Vergine Maria ricevettero il pontificio decreto di lode il 21 febbraio 1877; vennero approvate definitivamente dalla Santa Sede il 25 aprile 1885 e le loro costituzioni il 1º agosto 1927.

Tra le religiose dell'ordine si annovera Mary Kenneth Keller (1913 - 1985), pioniera dell'informatica, prima donna a conseguire un dottorato di ricerca in informatica negli Stati Uniti.

Attività e diffusione
Le suore si dedicano all'istruzione e all'educazione cristiana della gioventù e alle opere parrocchiali.

Oltre che negli Stati Uniti d'America, sono presenti in Ecuador, Guatemala e Ghana; la sede generalizia è a Dubuque.

Al 31 dicembre 2008 la congregazione contava 557 religiose in 232 case.

ATHENS (Reuters) - Greek authorities have seized a freighter carrying an undeclared shipment of weapons en route from Turkey to Libya, coast guard officials said on Wednesday.
"If investigations by the Greek authorities show that the consignment is going to receivers other than those stated in the documentation, and if that is shared with us, naturally measures could be taken," foreign ministry spokesman Tanju Bilgic said.
Libya is divided between two rival governments battling for control, leaving a security vacuum being exploited by migrant smugglers and Islamist militants.
Bilgic said that the company which owned the ship was registered in the Greek port city of Piraeus and that the vessel had begun its journey in Famagusta in northern Cyprus and had also passed through the Egyptian port of Alexandria. It came to Iskenderun on Aug. 25 and left four days later, he said.
The vessel's documentation indicated that it was supposed to travel on to Misrata and Tobruk in Libya, before travelling back to Beirut, Bilgic said.
