Nato come Peter Wessel, si arruolò nella marina militare della Danimarca-Norvegia e prestò servizio durante la grande guerra del Nord, nel corso della quale si mise ripetutamente in luce grazie alle sue azioni contro gli svedesi; con una rapidissima carriera raggiunse ben presto il grado di viceammiraglio e venne insignito, dallo stesso re Federico IV di Danimarca, di un titolo nobiliare e del soprannome di Tordenskjold ("scudo di tuono" in lingua danese). Morì nel 1720, ad appena 30 anni di età, nel corso di un duello.

La figura di Peter Tordenskjold è molto conosciuta sia in Danimarca sia in Norvegia, ed entrambe le nazioni lo considerano un proprio eroe nazionale.

Biografia

I primi anni

Peter (o Peder o Pitter) Wessel nacque a Trondheim come decimo figlio dell'aldermanno (consigliere comunale) Jan Wessel, e fu fratello del futuro retroammiraglio Caspar von Wessel. Peter fu un ragazzo selvaggio e indisciplinato e causò molti problemi ai suoi genitori, finché nel 1704 fuggì di casa nascondendosi nella stiva di una nave diretta a Copenaghen: qui cercò senza successo di arruolarsi in marina come allievo ufficiale, ma fece amicizia con il cappellano del re Peder Jespersen che prima gli procurò un imbarco su una nave diretta nelle Indie occidentali e poi lo fece entrare all'accademia navale nel 1710; dopo un secondo viaggio per mare, questa volta verso le Indie orientali, Wessel ottenne il grado di sottotenente il 7 luglio 1711, e prese servizio sulla fregata Postillon. Fu durante questo primo incarico che Wessel strinse amicizia con l'ammiraglio Waldemar Løvendal, norvegese come lui, che per primo intravide le potenzialità del giovane ufficiale; Løvendal procurò poi a Wessel il suo primo comando, quello dello sloop da 4 cannoni Ormen.

Nell'agosto del 1710 la Danimarca-Norvegia era entrata in guerra con la Svezia nell'ambito dei più vasti eventi della cosiddetta "grande guerra del Nord", e Wessel ebbe le sue prime esperienze belliche percorrendo la costa svedese a bordo della Ormen per recuperare informazioni sul nemico. Nel giugno del 1712 Løvendal mise Wessel al comando della fregata da 18 cannoni Løvendals Gallej, contro il parere del ministero della marina danese che lo riteneva ancora inaffidabile; dopo aver espresso delle lamentele ufficiali circa il trattamento riservatogli dal suo ufficiale superiore in Norvegia, Wessel ottenne di essere trasferito nel mar Baltico sotto il comando dell'ammiraglio Ulrich Christian Gyldenlove, che invece molto apprezzò il coraggio mostrato dal giovane sottotenente. Wessel si mise subito in luce per due cose: l'audacia con cui attaccava battaglia con le unità svedesi che incontrava a prescindere dalla loro forza, e le sue notevoli doti nautiche che gli consentirono di eludere ripetutamente la cattura da parte del nemico.

La grande guerra del Nord stava ormai entrando nelle sue fasi finali, con la Svezia, assediata su più fronti, obbligata a utilizzare la sua flotta principalmente per trasportare truppe e approvvigionamenti sul fronte della Pomerania: come parte della squadra navale di Gyldenlove ma agendo spesso in maniera indipendente con la sua fregata, Wessel compì ripetuti assalti contro le navi da trasporto svedesi, assalendole all'interno dei fiordi dove si nascondevano; il 29 settembre 1712, dopo una grande vittoria riportata dalle navi di Gyldenlove ai danni di una squadra di trasporti svedesi al largo dell'isola di Rügen, Wessel ottenne la promozione a tenente. I suoi successi furono tali da spingere gli svedesi a offrire una ricompensa per la sua cattura, mentre i suoi modi semplici e il suo spirito libero vinsero i suoi detrattori all'interno della marina dano-norvegese, i quali deploravano le sue azioni da quasi-corsaro.

I grandi successi

Nel 1714 Wessel fu sottoposto a corte marziale dopo un indecisivo scontro con una fregata svedese. Il giudizio si aprì nel novembre del 1714, ma lo spirito con cui l'ufficiale si difese e il disprezzo che riversò sui suoi meno coraggiosi compagni impressionarono positivamente lo stesso Federico IV. Wessel venne completamente assolto il 15 dicembre 1714. Pochi giorni dopo, il 28 dicembre, lo stesso monarca lo promosse al grado di capitano.

Wessel tornò in azione nel 1715, ora sotto il comando dell'ammiraglio Christian Carl Gabel. Sempre impegnato al largo delle coste della Pomerania svedese, Wessel inflisse molti danni al nemico; il 24 aprile 1715, nel corso della battaglia di Fehmarn, Wessel fece prigioniero il retroammiraglio svedese Carl Hans Wachtmeister così come la fregata Vita Örn, che gli fu concessa come sua nuova ammiraglia personale sotto il nome di Hvide Ørn ("Aquila bianca"). Il capitano fu poi trasferito alla flotta principale sotto il comando di Peter Raben. Rientrato in Danimarca all'inizio del 1716, Wessel fu insignito dallo stesso re Federico IV del titolo di nobile sotto il nome di "Tordenskjold". Quando, nel corso del 1716, il re Carlo XII di Svezia condusse un'invasione della Norvegia meridionale ponendo l'assedio alla fortezza di Fredrikshald, Tordenskjold lo costrinse a desistere dopo pochi mesi e a rientrare in patria con la sua armata: il capitano norvegese, al comando di una piccola flottiglia composta da due fregate e cinque unità minori, attaccò ripetutamente le navi svedesi intente a rifornire l'armata terrestre nella pericolosa zona del fiordo di Dynekil, catturando o affondando circa 30 unità avversarie e sconfiggendo una flotta nemica nel corso della battaglia di Dynekilen l'8 luglio 1716.

Per i suoi notevoli successi Tordenskjold fu promosso al grado di post-captain e messo al comando dello squadrone del Kattegat all'inizio del 1717; il compito assegnato all'unità di Tordenskjold era quello di contrastare lo squadrone assemblato dagli svedesi a Göteborg e che rappresentava una minaccia per i collegamenti navali tra Danimarca e Norvegia, ma a causa della slealtà di diversi dei suoi sottoposti, che mal sopportavano di servire sotto il giovane ufficiale, fallì nell'ottenere risultati significativi e dopo una serie di inconcludenti incursioni contro la stessa Göteborg i danesi dovettero ritirarsi. La vecchia accusa di incoscienza criminale fu rilanciata contro di lui davanti a una seconda corte marziale alla quale fu convocato nel 1718, ma il suo vecchio patrono Gyldenløve intervenne energicamente a suo favore e il giudizio fu annullato.

Nel dicembre del 1718 Tordenskjold fu promosso dal re al grado di retroammiraglio, e l'anno successivo ottenne i suoi ultimi successi: dopo aver catturato la fortezza di Carlsten vicino a Marstrand, il 26 settembre 1719 Tordenskjold riuscì infine a infliggere una dura sconfitta allo squadrone di Göteborg, finito in parte distrutto e in parte catturato; come ricompensa per queste vittorie, ottenne un'ulteriore promozione al grado di viceammiraglio.

La morte

La partecipazione della Danimarca-Norvegia alla grande guerra del Nord terminò con la firma del trattato di Frederiksborg del 14 luglio 1720, ma Tordenskjold non sopravvisse a lungo alla fine delle ostilità: durante un viaggio a Hannover nel novembre del 1720, Tordenskjold entrò in conflitto con un ufficiale livone, il colonnello Jakob Axel Staël von Holstein, che aveva prestato servizio con gli svedesi durante il recente conflitto; lo scontro terminò con un duello tenutosi nelle vicinanze di Hildesheim il 12 novembre 1720, durante il quale Tordenskjold, ad appena 30 anni d'età compiuti, venne trafitto e ucciso dalla spada di von Holstein. Il suo corpo fu seppellito nella chiesa di Holmen nel centro di Copenaghen senza particolari cerimonie funebri, anche perché il duello era illegale secondo la legge danese del periodo; nel 1819 il corpo fu poi traslato all'interno di un sarcofago.

Le circostanze della morte di Tordenskjold furono poi viste sotto un'ottica cospirativa, in particolare nei tre volumi della sua biografia edita da C. P. Rothe tra il 1747 e il 1750: il duello fu richiesto da von Holstein, che Tordenskjold aveva offeso accusandolo di essere un baro al gioco d'azzardo provocando una lite; i due concordarono di battersi utilizzando delle pistole, arma con cui il norvegese era molto abile, ma il giorno del duello Tordenskjold fu convinto dal suo secondo che von Holstein aveva abbandonato la città e quindi lasciò a casa le sue armi da fuoco. Quando si presentò sul luogo concordato Tordenskjold trovò invece il suo avversario pronto per il duello, che a questo punto venne combattuto con le spade: il norvegese aveva con sé solo uno spadino da cerimonia, e soccombette ben presto alla striscia da guerra brandita da von Holstein.

Eredità
Benché, a conti fatti, con la sola eccezione di Dynekilen, le vittorie di Tordenskjold sul campo di battaglia rappresentassero degli eventi minori e inferiori come importanza ad altri più decisivi scontri, il norvegese passò alla storia come una delle figure più eroiche del conflitto, secondo solo al re Carlo XII; ben presto, Tordenskjold fu assunto al rango di eroe nazionale sia in Danimarca sia in Norvegia.

Tordenskjold viene menzionato per nome sia nella marcia reale danese Kong Christian stod ved højen mast del 1778, sia nell'inno nazionale norvegese Ja, vi elsker dette landet del 1864. Statue dedicate al norvegese furono erette a Copenaghen, nella natia Trondheim, a Oslo, a Stavern e a Haakonsvern (queste due sedi di importanti basi navali della marina militare norvegese); negli Stati Uniti d'America, nel 1871 una township nella Contea di Otter Tail del Minnesota fu intitolata a suo nome per opera di una coppia di fratelli danesi. Lo stemma della cittadina norvegese di Holmestrand contiene una rappresentazione della nave di Tordenskjold Hvide Ørn.

La marina militare danese ebbe diverse navi intitolate a Tordenskjold, tra cui la nave corazzata Tordenskjold, in servizio dal 1882 al 1908, e la corvetta della classe Niels Juel KDM Peter Tordenskjold (F356), in servizio dal 1980 al 2009. La marina militare norvegese gli intitolò la corazzata costiera Tordenskjold, in servizio dal 1897 al 1948, oltre al centro di addestramento navale di Bergen.

La città danese di Frederikshavn, dove Tordenskjold fu stazionato dal 1717 al 1719, ospita a partire dal 1998 un festival estivo in costume dedicato alla sua memoria, chiamato "giornata di Tordenskjold" (Tordenskjoldsdage); una strada della città danese di Esbjerg è chiamata "Tordenskjoldsgade".

Una delle più popolari marche di fiammiferi danesi porta il nome di Tordenskjold: nel tardo XIX secolo la Svezia possedeva una delle maggiori produzioni ed esportazioni di fiammiferi, così i produttori danesi apposero, a partire dal 1882, il nome e l'immagine di Tordenskjold sulle loro confezioni nella speranza che l'eroe potesse "colpire di nuovo gli svedesi" (give de svenske stryg in danese); il marchio "Tordenskjold" fu poi acquistato da una compagnia svedese nel 1972.

Nella cultura di massa Tordenskjold viene spesso rappresentato come un piccolo ragazzo furbo alle prese con avversari molto più potenti di lui e le sue gesta sono spesso rafforzate mischiando realtà e finzione. Un primo resoconto romanzato delle sue imprese fu raccolto nella canzone popolare Jeg vil sjunge om en Helt del 1858, a cui seguì un gran numero di altre opere e rappresentazioni; questi racconti fecero da base per il film danese Peter Tordenskjold del 1910, tratto da una precedente rappresentazione teatrale di Carit Etlar, e per il film Tordenskjold går i land del 1942; nel 1993 fu realizzato un musical in due atti dal titolo Tordenskjold, dove l'eroe era rappresentato dal cantante norvegese Øystein Wiik e dove mito e realtà erano abbondantemente mischiati.

Uno dei miti riferiti a Tordenskjold è entrato nel linguaggio comune tanto in Danimarca quanto in Norvegia: durante i negoziati per la resa della fortezza di Carlsten nel 1719, si dice che Tordenskjold fece muovere i suoi uomini da una postazione all'altra in modo da far apparire agli occhi degli svedesi una forza molto più numerosa di quanto in realtà non fosse; ciò diede i natali all'espressione idiomatica Tordenskjolds soldater ("soldati di Tordenskjold" in danese), che denota uno stesso gruppo di persone che si ritiene obbligato a ricoprire quanti più ruoli e cariche possibili.

The Devil's Slide
"I wanted to distract the heat from Santa Cruz… I knew the Bay Area well, because the job that I do entails intensive travel through those areas. Especially like with the disposal of Alice's head and hands, I knew that this was an ideal place because the authorities would figure it was somebody that knew that particular area really well, and I knew that people at two o'clock in the morning would not be traveling the road at all. So they would think it would be at least somebody within five or ten miles of that area, and that's what I wanted people to think. I arrived on the scene up in Eden Canyon Road about two A.M."
Ed Kemper about disposing of alice liu's remains
Ed Kemper drove to an area known as Devil's Slide. He drove into Pacifica to see if cops were around-they were at a local diner-so he drove back to the cliff and threw the body parts off.
The horror was underscored two weeks later, when a hiker near Devil's Slide found the skulls of two young women. Tests showed they were Rosalind Thorpe and Alice Liu's heads.
Devil's Slide is a name given to a steep, rocky coastal promontory located about midway between Montara and the Linda Mar District of Pacifica. The terrain is characterized by steep, eroded slopes with natural gradients ranging between 30 and 50%. http://www.devilsslidecoast.org/history/

Admiring his catch
After raping and killing 15-year-old Aiko Koo, Ed Kemper stopped at a country bar "for a few beers."
Before going into the bar, he opened the trunk to make sure she was dead. He told investigators:
"I suppose as I was standing there looking, I was doing one of those triumphant things, too, admiring my work and admiring her beauty, and I might say admiring my catch like a fisherman."

"I never promised you a rose garden."
Several years after Edmund Kemper had been incarcerated (at Atascadero), a parcel arrived at the home of psychiatrist Dr. William Schanberger, who'd been friendly with teenage Edmund.
"I received in the mail this cup from Ed Kemper. Ed said that it took him about a year to make, and it's very, very complex. It's like a battered cup. And on the cup is written also: "I beg your pardon," and on the bottom: "I never promised you a rose garden." Meaning to be, I think, a very serious apology."

"An elephant with a Mozart soul"
Edmund Kemper in 1978
Renowned filmmakers Werner Herzog and Errol Morris visited serial killer Edmund Kemper in prison some time in 1974. In 2008, The Believer Magazine published an interview with both directors who remembered their encounter with Edmund Kemper at the CMF in Vacaville. This is the segment of the interview about Kemper. Please note that there are several inaccuracies about the Kemper case in this interview.
Errol Morris (EM): When Werner and I first met each other, we took a trip to visit this serial killer [Edmund Emil Kemper III] in prison in Northern California.
Werner Herzog (WH): Vacaville, yeah.
EM: There were three of us. And Kemper's lawyer. To circumvent a lot of red tape, the lawyer identified us as psychiatrists. Werner's producer, Walter Saxer, came along with us. So there was Dr. Saxer, Dr. Morris, and Dr. Herzog allowed in because—
Filmmaker Errol Morris in 1988
WH: We were scared shitless because Kemper was a very huge man, fairly young, I think still twenty-six by then. But something like six foot five or six foot four.
EM: I think bigger.
WH: Maybe bigger, yes.
EM: Very large.
WH: Capital punishment was suspended at the time he was condemned. And he chose seven or eight consecutive life terms, but he wanted to die in the gas chamber. And the only way to get to the gas chamber when it was reinstated at that time was to kill someone inside the prison. So the attorney was really scared. And he was in a way relieved that he had some solid men as his guards or his company. And reading all the transcripts of Kemper, I had the feeling that what was interesting was that the man, in my opinion—and I'm speaking of Edmund Emil Kemper—he made a lot of sense. In a way he makes a lot of sense, why he killed and how it all originated.
Filmmaker Werner Herzog in 1974
And at the end, after having killed seven or eight or so coeds, hitchhikers, he killed his mother and put the severed head on the mantel and threw darts at it. And then there happened to be some leftover turkey in the fridge from Thanksgiving. And he called the lady next door, the neighbor, and asked—am I correct? Yeah, asked her if she would like to pick up the turkey leftovers, and she walks in and then he killed her as well, and put her in a closet. And then he fled in his mother's car and crisscrossed the West until he ran out of money and ran out of gas. And in Pueblo, Colorado, he kept calling the police. [To Morris] You know better what happened there. I think they thought he was kind of gaga and didn't believe him.
EM: He desperately tried to turn himself in to the police by making repeated phone calls from this phone booth. Now he would have had a cell phone. So I guess it's easier now for serial killers to turn themselves in. And the police kept hanging up on him. They just—
WH: And he was down to his last quarter to make his last call, and then two detectives actually picked him up at this phone booth. I remember their names because they sound very German: Schmidt and Grubb. And Schmidt and Grubb took him to the police station, and what was smart of them was, they just randomly turned on a tape recorder and Kemper spoke for six hours, pretty much nonstop.
And this transcript is really wonderful—
EM: Quite amazing, yes.
WH: Very, very amazing. And Kemper was, in a way, a very sensitive person. When you looked at his hands, like the hands of a violin player, in a way. I remember he looked like an elephant with a Mozart soul.
EM: Yeah. That's the way Werner described him at the time. An elephant with the soul of Mozart. I'm not sure that most of the prison authorities would have described him in the same way, but at the time I found Werner's description very interesting. I thought for a long time about it. It made it situational, as if God in his infinite perversity had somehow mismatched Kemper's various attributes in order to produce some kind of nightmare, some kind of tragedy. I remember thinking, Yeah, if Othello had been in Hamlet's place, and vice versa, there would be no tragedy.
It's so mixed up in my mind—Werner in these early years, graduate school, and what I myself was thinking. I was a very disaffected graduate student at the University of California, Berkeley. That's where I first met Werner. It was just shortly after he finished Aguirre and his films were being shown in the United States for the first time. It was an amazing experience to see Werner's work. There was really nothing quite like it in America at that time, and probably not since that time.
And I became really fascinated by Werner's films. I'm thinking about it even now, now that we're talking about it, our attempts to understand what people are thinking. What is going on in another person's mind? How do they see the world? Kemper was a perfect example. I would drive every day from Berkeley to Santa Cruz and I would attend the Kemper trial. I became a regular fixture. And I would say the trial transformed my thinking about many, many, many things.
In those days, murder trials were chopped into two pieces. There would be a guilt and innocence phase and a penalty phase.
And there was this wacko psychiatrist, Dr. Joel Fort, who took the stand and said that Kemper was not even neurotic. Kemper had killed a dozen people. He had killed his grandparents. He had been put away in a juvenile facility, released under California law when he reached eighteen, and then went on to kill eight more people. And Kemper had described how these murders occurred. He would pick up women hitchhiking. He would be killing a woman with a knife and talking to her, saying, "I hope this isn't really unpleasant. I hope you're not uncomfortable. I hope this is not too frightening."
So, the psychiatrist—I'll make this as short as possible—the psychiatrist took the stand and said, "You know, this man is not even neurotic. Not only is he not psychotic, he's not even neurotic, because he can't empathize with the victim. He has a sociopathy or a psychopathy. He can be completely dispassionate while he is killing another person." And I started to wonder—I still wonder about this stuff—I started to wonder how in god's name does the psychiatrist know what Ed is thinking? Maybe Ed has this fantasy of being in control. Maybe in this writing after the fact he imagined himself as being dispassionate. Perhaps he was completely out of control, deeply psychotic. This kind of discrepancy between the accounts that we provide about ourselves and the world.
And I think it's very much—in a different way—but it's very much in your films as well, and something that deeply inspired me.

A wave of panic seizes him. The events of the last hours are jostling in his head. He thinks of his mother. The fact of having cut off her head does not disturb him more than that; after all, she is not the first to whom it happened! And, besides, she was already dead. He who read the Bible so much during his imprisonment [at Atascadero], to the point of identifying himself very much with the character of Job, he sees in the destiny of his mother, the hand of God. It is even more than a symbol when he thinks about it: "This hand is the left hand of the Lord, I have always considered my mother as a great being, someone very fierce and sinister. She has always had a great influence on my life, and when she died, I was very surprised to find that her death was like all my other victims, how vulnerable and human she was, which has left a mark on me and still shocks me today. The left hand of the Lord is the one he uses to punish, and I, that guilty and left-handed son, cut off my mother's left hand. That's enough to make me flip, right? "

Easter Lily for Mother
Neighbors said the young man [Ed Kemper], who had been collecting workmen's compensation since an injury last year on a highway construction job, went to his mother's Aptos apartment last Saturday carrying an Easter lily.
The lily was still blooming on a table when sheriff's deputies entered the apartment Tuesday and found the nude bodies of the two women [Clarnell Strandberg and Sally Hallett] stuffed into a closet. Mrs. Strandberg had been decapitated and one hand chopped off.
Neighbors said Kemper quarrelled frequently with his mother [Strandberg] about whether she loved him. "You're embarrassing me in front of my friends," they quoted him as saying after she upbraided him for "laying around and drinking beer."

Last man alive on Earth
"By the time I was eight, I had accumulated a lot of frustration, a lot of hate, for which I didn't find an outlet. I didn't know how to develop outlets. A school book awakened in me fantasies about being the last man alive on Earth. I still remember the text that was intended for a sociology homework on the loneliness of teenagers. That we could not know the excitement of the adventure, emotions or feelings, without sharing them with others. This text was a bit like a seed that gave birth to fantasies in my mind. I find myself alone with all these things, these cars, these planes and no one to bother me or tell me what not to do, but these fantasies end up running empty and seem hollow… Little by little, I integrated inanimate people: they could not affect or hurt me. As I started puberty, these fantasies had continued to grow when I was approached by a girlfriend, not physically or sexually, but emotionally. We are the same age but she is ahead of me, she is aggressive, she is very beautiful. But I was not ready for this type of relationship. She really wanted a physical relationship, kisses, flirting. It terrified me because I didn't know how to react or control the emotions that germinated in me." – Ed Kemper about some of his childhood fantasies
Ed Kemper Interviews and Articles
These magazines are two instructive documents about Ed Kemper. The INSIDE DETECTIVE piece "I'll Show You Where I Buried The Pieces of Their Bodies" from August 1973 details Kemper's crimes and arrest. The FRONT PAGE DETECTIVE interview from March 1974 is one of the best pieces written about the Kemper case. Journalist Marj von Beroldingen met with Kemper a few hours after he was convicted on eight counts of first-degree murder. He had kept a promise and granted her an exclusive interview. It was not their first person-to-person talk.

Ishinosuke Uwano (; født oktober 1922, død 2013) var soldat i den kejserlige japanske hær. Han blev kendt i offentligheden i april 2006 efter det blev kendt, at han havde boet i Ukraine i seks årtier efter afslutningen på 2. verdenskrig, på trods af, at han var blevet indskrevet som død i officielle japanske registre.

Uwano var blevet udstationeret på Sakhalin-halvøen i slutningen af krigen, og havde været i kontakt med sin familie så sent som i 1958. Efterfølgende havde han giftet sig med en ukrainsk kvinde, og havde slået sig ned i Kyiv, hvor de fik tre børn. Imidlertid førte hans manglende kontakt med familien i Japan til, at han erklæredes død i 2000. I 2006 måtte han som et resultat deraf, da han skulle besøge sin familie i Japan, rejse til sit hjemland med et ukrainsk pas.

Canon has announced the EF 35mm F1.4L II USM, the second generation of its popular wide-angle prime. It uses newly-designed Blue Spectrum Refractive Optics, which claim to correct chromatic aberration better than any other existing technology.
The 35mm F1.4L II includes a total of 14 elements, two of which are aspherical and the other being 'Super UD'. It offers 9 aperture blades for pleasing bokeh (and gorgeous 18-ray sunbursts, we hope) and a minimum focusing distance of 0.28m/11in. It also claims to be more durable than its predecessor, with dust and water-resistant construction. The Mark II is considerably heavier, though, weighing in at 180g/6.3oz, or 31% more than the original model.
This is a much-awaited announcement for Canon users, especially since Sigma introduced their excellent 35mm f/1.4 Art lens, which bested the Canon in just about every way and managed to do it at half the price.
It will be interesting to see how well this new lens compares to its predecessor, as well as the rest of its competitors, including the aforementioned Sigma. I'm also particularly interested in seeing how it compares with the Sony Zeiss FE 35mm f/1.4 Distagon, a lens that's been on my radar for quite some time and that's been called the best 35mm lens ever by none other than Steve Huff.
The new version of the Canon 35mm f/1.4 L lens will be available in October for $1,799. You can check out Canon's official press release here.

Our vibrational loosening prevention products – TEC Series washers, Disc-Lock washers and Disc-Lock nuts – feature our proven wedge locking technology. This technology utilizes tension, rather than traditionally-used friction, to secure fastened joints in high vibration and load applications.
TEC Series and Disc-Lock Washers are offered in glued pairs; each washer has a cams on one side and radial teeth on the other side. The cam sides are glued together. During installation, the radial teeth cause ½ of the washer to be seated to the bolt or nut, and ½ to be seated to the base material.
When the joint is exposed to heavy load or vibration, the bolt or nut will attempt to loosen. Because the TEC Series or Disc-Lock washer's radial teeth are seated to the base material and the bolt or nut, the loosening movement is forced into the cams between the washer pair.
Because the cam angles are greater than the thread pitch, a wedge effect is created by the cams, preventing the bolt or nut from rotating loose.
Disc-Lock Nuts are two and three piece nuts that utilize the same cam wedge locking technology: when the joint is subjected to heavy shock or vibration, the interlocking cams create a wedge effect because the cam angles are greater than the thread pitch, securing the joint.
Wedge locking washers, recommended for applications where fasteners and washers may need to be removed and/or reused.
Wedge locking 2 and 3 piece nuts.

"Go Penn!"
Score 4.0 / 5
My daughter is a Penn State graduate so driving back through the streets past the college and the stadium just brought back a flood of memories. As a teenager I had hoped to play football for Penn State but my knees didn't cooperate by the time I was a senior in high school. Decades later my daughter became the Nittany Lion that I dreamed of being. So we are a Penn State family even though we live in New York.

As a Certified Negotiator in Conflict Resolution, Aruna works to promote inner peace and harmony. She self published 'Conflict Resolution' in March 2014 and offers it as a free download to benefit all who wish to have some tips on conflict resolution.
Click HERE for a free copy of the book.
The inner work of conflict resolution is to observe and identify the ways in which we approach conflict and to enhance our awareness of how we behave in any conflict situation. The more we can understand ourselves, the more we will be able to understand others.
Since our attitudes, feelings and emotions trigger our actions, it is important to understand this intricate connection. Once we can understand the root cause of our conflicts, they will all become easier to manage.
Inner work is about being ready, willing and open to learning new behaviors and new approaches. It's about building new attitudes towards situations, creating new perspectives and a new vision for all parties concerned.
In any conflict situation it's very easy to blame others and to not take up our own end of the responsibility. Inner work is about taking that personal responsibility and to take charge of our life. Once we do this, we empower ourselves and become masters of the situation. We are no longer waiting for the other party to change, or for them to fix the situation so that we can be happy.
Inner work is about accepting our differences. Each person brings to the table their own set of ideas, attitudes, beliefs, values, perceptions, feelings, experiences, memories, judgments etc. Differences are likely to occur and are part of our everyday life. When a conflict situation happens, each individual sees the conflict from their own perspective. This does not mean that one person's view is correct and the other is not: it simply means that there two different viewpoints.
Awareness of our deep-rooted sanskars (personality traits) and understanding the different ways that 'Maya' (inner negative tendencies) emerges them, is also one of the fundamental steps in dealing with and resolving conflict.
Inner work is also about having deep, concentrated meditation, the sort that burns our impurities. When we return to a purer state of being, we will have fewer differences and fewer conflicts.
Happy to have you also!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts through "It's time to Meditate". I started reaading your articlies since last 2 months and I find it very insightful. I have downloaded the above e-book on Conflict Resolution and would surely share my thoughts on the same.
I would like to know more about "Certified Negotiator for Conflict Resolution". If I would like to pursue the same, How to go about the same.
I was certified in Canada, The Justice Institute of British Columbia. You may google them and see further.
Om Shanti.I am so glad after listening Aruna ladwa valuble speech in Happy Village in Silence Retreat 2.0 programme . Thanks a lot.

(Host) The automobile industry is fighting Vermont's efforts to limit greenhouse gas pollution.
But the state and environmental groups have an important ally in their court case.
A leading NASA researcher on climate change has testified in the case.
He says it's important to cut pollution from cars if the world is going to make any headway against global warming.
(Dillon) Vermont and other states have followed the lead of California. The new rules require a gradual reduction in carbon dioxide pollution from cars.
Beginning with the 2009 model year, car companies would have to reduce CO-2 emissions by 2%. The rules are designed to lead to a 30% reduction by 2016.
But the industry has challenged the rules in federal court in California, Rhode Island and Vermont.
As part of the court process, the states and environmental groups have provided experts witnesses. And one of the main experts defending the rule is Scientist James Hansen director of NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies.
(Dillon) Richard Valentinetti directs the state's air quality division. He says Hansen makes the direct link between vehicle emissions and climate change.
(Dillon) Hansen has worked on climate research for 40 years. He's not getting paid for his testimony, and he makes clear in court documents that he's speaking as a private citizen, not as a government scientist.
Last winter, his outspokenness caught the attention of the Bush Administration. Officials told Hansen that they would review his lectures, Internet postings and public statements.
In his written testimony, Hansen says motor vehicle emissions are the fastest growing source of carbon-dioxide. He says controlling CO-2 from cars is a needed first step for the planet to avoid catastrophic warming.
Anthony Iarropino, a lawyer for the Conservation law Foundation, says it's significant that the scientist chose to get involved in the court case.
(Dillon) The car companies have argued in court documents that the states don't have the authority to issue the new regulations. They say that by placing limits on CO-2 the states are actually regulating fuel economy, which only the federal government can do.
The industry also says that the new emission controls would be expensive, and that consumers would have to pay about $3,000 more per vehicle.


Serving bite-sized foods for friends. suggestions on finger-food veggies to accompany, preferably dippable?
PS: I know those aren't veggies, but I figured I'd list them in case you are feeling adventurous.
Arancini (risotto balls) rolled in breadcrumbs and fried, served with aioli? Mini meatballs and maranara sauce? Fried polenta fingers and bolognaise. Mini crabcakes with aioli.
Dip-able veggies to me is always the obvious carrot and celery. But to add interest is peapods or snowpeas. I like halved radishes and some cukes cut in sticks. I personally like cauliflower and broccoli florets, esp if the dip is right for them, like a feta, kalamata type dip. I do not find that many people really eat the multicolor bell pepper strips, although they look pretty in an arrangement. In general, as long as you have an assortment, it will look good, and everyone can go for the veggies that they like.
Watermelon radish (if you can find them), peeled and cut into wedges for dipping.
I have been totally addicted to watermelon radish the past few; so, so pretty as well. Certainly worth the 'wow' factor.
I like serve: blanched young carrots (keep the stems on + slice in half lengthwise), cherry tomatoes & fennel cut into strips lengthwise. For a "dip" I usually season a small bowl of my best olive oil with salt & pepper. Its rustic, very different and usually a hit.


Are we listening to our leaders?
As we come to the end of the conference season for the major political parties in the UK, how many of us in the business community have actually listened to the leaders' speeches and been inspired – or even thought about who we might support at the next election?
Judging by my recent conversations with clients, not that many. Is it apathy, ambivalence or just a lack of time? If you want to see and hear for yourself, watch this clip. As you know, Black Isle's approach to coaching great communication skills is all about building authenticity and helping leaders have a relaxed conversation with their audience. So watch a little bit of each speaker and let me know who you think is the most authentic – and whether they achieve this "conversational style".
Next month I will be starting a sequence of articles and advice on speaking to large audiences. If you want to improve your ability to engage, inspire and influence others when you stand up to speak, then make sure you sign up to our newsletter.

Gravedigging In Reverse
by Satyr
Satyr Syndicate Records is my project to re-record and master much of the music I have written. On the website, I play the part of Hermes, the messenger god. Hermes gives updates on how the excavations are going. Sometimes, there is drama with the bands. For example, there was a socialist funk band, called Smashpattern, who only put out a single EP, and then tragically disappeared into the jungles fighting for liberation. Satyr Syndicate is the group of satyrs who write, record and perform the songs. They represent various moods or genres. There is also the imagery of excavation and of Hades. Since I am re-recording, I am excavating stuff that was done long ago, like an archeological dig. Hades represents the other-world or sub-conscious, from which the music comes. Gravedigging in reverse.
Listen to the song while reading the text.
When I was in High School, I was into punk rock and was in many different punk bands. Later, I got into many other different types of music; early goth, metal, electronic, dance, techno, ambient, industrial, surf, grunge, reggae, ska, basically almost any kind of "alternative."
In the early 90s I lived in a house with another musician and our basement was the rehearsal space for not only our bands but also tons of other bands. During this time, I wrote a lot of music. I had some time on my hands; I think I wrote at least a song or two every day for at least a year or so.
In those days I didn't have much money. However, there was always an old Fender speaker, a PA system, a drum set, my bass and a bass head, someone's guitar, and other miscellaneous gear laying around. I used whatever I could. At one point, a friend and I went in on an analog multi-track recorder. That's when I wrote and recorded many, many songs. I had boxes and boxes of cassette tapes and CDs of music I wrote; from these, I've chosen about 150 songs to re-record on Satyr Syndicate Records.
Satyr Syndicate Records
Satyr Syndicate Records has several goals. The first one is to simply re-record and attempt to master the music I've already written. After that, I will begin releasing new music, although, some new music has already found its way on the website. Another goal is raising just enough money to master some of the songs and to keep everything going. This music is always free, but if you want to contribute, that would, of course, be cool too!
Satyr Syndicate Records is the career I never had. I once came close to being in a band that was very, very close to being signed by a major record label. From my experience, getting major funding from a label is extremely difficult. For every awesome band on a major label, there are at least 100 other bands every bit as good. I write music because I love to do it. Not being on a label will not stop me. Even if no one even listens to my music, I will keep putting it out. I heartily support independent music.
The Freedom of Being Independent
Satyr Syndicate Records also allows me 100% freedom to do what I want to do musically. All of the bands on SSR are me. They are simply groupings of songs that are somewhat similar. My music is generally a genre fluid. However, much of the music I'm re-recording is heavily influenced by what I was into at the time; The Sisters of Mercy, Joy Division, Bauhaus, The Smiths, The Misfits, Samhain, The Cure, Fields of the Nephilim, Dead Can Dance, The Cult.
A lot of it grew around a series of themes; rootlessness, vagabond, trouble, psychological issues, dreams, other worlds, politics, life in middle America; all the stuff I was going through back then. All of this tended to get pulled into a mythology that culminated into the figure of the satyr. I was heavily into Joseph Campbell, and this began to build a connection between superficial current issues and deep subconscious, ancient, universal elements.
Being pinned down is something I hate. I have to explore and create new stuff. Multiple bands allow me to do that. For example, Glass Rain is new material that combines metal, disco and other elements that expresses my experiences in middle America.
Actually, I've yet to capture my disco vision; a kind of goth-disco. I may pursue this once my re-recordings are finished. I also plan to release an album from the early 90s that I'm not going re-record or even touch at all. It's a lo-fi album from 2001 that was a remake from 1992… when all I had was a small Casio keyboard, a cello, and two boomboxes to record with. This album will be coupled with a brand new album that is done in an entirely techno-like style, but with similar expressions as the first.
As of November 2018, "the tunneling is almost complete, about 7 albums are on the final stretch of coming up out of Hades and thrust upon the world." ~Hermes.
Come on the journey with me!

The first half of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. season 3 largely dealt with the fallout from season 2 – namely, the Terrigenesis of Inhumans all around the globe – as well as the ongoing threat of Hydra. But, in the latter half of season 3, Director Phil Coulson (Clark Gregg) was forced the deal with both the emotional consequences and real-world repercussions of his decision to kill Grant Ward (Brett Dalton) on Maveth. As a result of Coulson's choice, Hydra was able to bring back the ancient Inhuman Hive from Maveth, this time inhabiting Ward's body.
Although Hive was defeated, it seems the season 3 finale will have an impact on Coulson's character going into season 4, which will premiere later this year on ABC. Now, Gregg has teased a bit about what to expect from Coulson when Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. returns for season 4.
In broad terms, Gregg is speaking about the end of the season 3 finale, which jumped ahead six months and picked up with Coulson's team spread out across the globe. Coulson was shown attempting to track down the rogue Daisy Johnson (Chloe Bennet), who seems to have traded in her S.H.I.E.L.D. agent status to be an Inhuman vigilante as part of her grieving process over losing Lincoln (Luke Mitchell). As Gregg points out, Coulson will not only be dealing with the loss of Lincoln, but the defection of Daisy as well, when season 4 kicks off.
In addition to exploring Coulson and Daisy's grief and its effect on S.H.I.E.L.D., the Marvel series will deal with Life-Model Decoys, or LMDs, developed by Holden Radcliffe (John Hannah). The technology was introduced in the final moments of the season 3 finale, setting up season 4, and will surely play into the fact that the S.H.I.E.L.D. team has lost a number of agents and allies, including the most recent death of Lincoln.
Of course, as with all properties under the Marvel Studios banner, details about Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.season 4 are being kept under wraps. Previously, executive producer Jed Whedon did mention that the team's loss of Lincoln and the team's showdown with Hive will have "affected their plan moving forward and the way they operate." So, emotional ramifications of the loss of an agent and the technology of the LMDs will both play a big role in season 4. But, still, the most burning question for fans of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. may be: Who has replaced Coulson as director?
I'm kind of unsure of my expectations for what they're going to do with Daisy and Coulson, and also unsure about what I'd like them to do. We've seen so much of Daisy and Coulson together and at SHIELD that it might be interesting to see something different for a while. I think I liked Daisy most back at the beginning when she was just Skye, a hacker on the run, and it would be great to see a Daisy version of that (with powers and all) except that I don't want it to pull screentime away from all the other characters. I think it would also be great to see a different Coulson, who isn't in charge and actually deals with some of his own issues. In the teaser, he said the director was going to assign him to a different mission (not Daisy) so we'll have to see where that goes. I really miss Bobbi and Hunter as well, and would love for them to come back, but I haven't been able to find any info on whether they will or not.
I'm not sure how I feel about the LMDs either. I don't read the comics, but from what I can tell they're like AIs made to be like some of the people who have died? I can't see why anyone within the show would think that would be a good idea, but it could be interesting to watch.
Pretty much agree. Bobbi and Hunter were going to get their own show, but it doesn't seem like that's going ahead now, which I am quite glad about because they belong with the rest of the team and I'm not sure they are strong enough to carry a show by themselves.
I'm not sure how I feel about the LMDs either. I don't read the comics, but from what I can tell they're like AIs made to be like some of the people who have died?
I haven't read much about them either but as I gather it's mostly people that's still alive. There's plenty of Fury LMDs for example. They seem to be used as stand-ins, be it in a dangerous situation or for another reason. They've died instead of the real Fury quite a few times I think. I don't know exactly how the process works but having LMDs for dead people certainly seem possible. Not sure how close to the original they'd be if it's made after the person dies though.
Well, in that case it makes sense. I've just seen a lot of people sort of linking it to Lincoln's death like a way to "bring him back" almost, which is crazy to me.
Oh Lord I hope not, that's the last thing we need.
I think I'd rather have Son of Coul back as just a team leader. I liked the more tight knit collaboration of season 1.
Hopefully the team change-up will be good, keep things fresh.
I'm more interested in Coulson's new position and the LMD- since I know nothing about them. It's make a nice change from two seasons about Inhumans.
I think Hydra should stay quiet for a little while as well, and then make a resurgance much later on.
Season 4 starts this Tuesday!
Seems like the teams kinda split up at the moment. I prefer when they're more together. They interact well together. Is Ghostrider supposed to an inhuman or something else?
I've got the first couple of episodes saved but haven't managed to watch them yet. Is it good?
Pretty good. Some really good effects so far too. Kinda a lot going on at the moment.
Hardly anyone posts in here, so I wouldn't worry about it. Besides we're up to episode 4 now.

Bayern confirm they will make push for Sane but only if he wants to join them
Posted on September 11, 2019 by P30 News
The Bundesliga champions would be keen on signing the 23-year-old but only if he expresses a desire to leave Pep Guardiola's side
Bayern Munich will begin concrete negotiations with Manchester City over Leroy Sane if the winger says he wants a move to the Allianz Arena, the club's CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has confirmed.
Sane has struggled to get regular starts at City and could benefit from a return to the Bundesliga as Bayern look to replace Arjen Robben and Franck Ribery.
The German champions have reportedly made Sane a top target this summer, although Goal revealed last month that City still want to tie the 23-year-old down to a new contract.
And Bayern president Uli Hoeness said this week that a deal was unlikely due the "insane" figures that it would likely take to reach an agreement with City.
But Rummenigge insists a deal could still happen if Sane shows he is keen.
"We have not made an offer for Leroy Sane. It is far from that," he told Sport Bild.
"First, the player has to decide if he can imagine coming to Bayern. If that's the case, then we'll go into concrete negotiations with Manchester City.

"The player is the most important factor. Apparently, Leroy has not yet decided. Hasan Salihamidzic [Bayern's sporting director] is leading the talks there.
"I think the player is exciting. Both in footballing quality and in terms of the type of player he is."
Bayern look set for an active summer of transfer activity with midfielder Renato Sanches admitting he could move on.
The Portuguese has endured a torrid spell since leaving Benfica in 2016 and wants to play more regular first-team football.
Speaking to Kicker, the 21-year-old revealed: "I said goodbye to Niko Kovac on Wednesday. Whether it was only for the summer break or forever, I do not know at the moment.
"I want to play more.
"I do not know if it makes sense to try again. I've played too little, I'm disappointed about that.
"Sometimes I asked myself, 'why is that?' All the young players like Joshua Kimmich, Serge Gnabry, Kingsley Coman play. Just not me. And I showed in training that I'm a good player.
"I think I have had the least chances of the young players.
"I do not want a new loan move. Should I leave, then I want it to be completely."


Hey everyone its that time of year again, another Estee Lauder warehouse sale! The Estee Lauder warehouse sale happens four times a year in Markham, Ontario. This warehouse sale is a private sale and you need a ticket a to get in. I've been a few times in the past because I was able to get my hands on some tickets. Tickets are given to employees of Estee Lauder. But there are many people that sell their ticket on Kijiji or Craigslist, although Estee Lauder states on the ticket that this is not allowed. If you can get your hands on these tickets I highly suggest you go!
The last time I went was last September and the prices were ok. The prices do rise each year but it's much better than paying full price.

Q: How to add some headers file in VS2015 I've read visual studio 2012 adding new header file, but my problem has not been solved! Anyway, I want to add foo.h to my project:
#pragma once
void MyLDA(vector<int>, Mat_<float>, Mat&, Mat&);

Now, foo.cpp:
#include "stdafx.h"
#include "foo.h"

using namespace std;

auto getIndices = [](const std::vector<int>& vec, const int value)
{
//some code
}
void MyLDA(vector<int> gnd, Mat_<float> _data, Mat &eigvector, Mat &eigvalue)
{
//some code
}

when i build my project, i get this error:
'vector': undeclared identifier
type 'int' unexpected
'my_project': identifier not found

A: You need to #include <vector> to use std::vector.  Also, best practice is to avoid using namespace std; and instead write std::vector.  Some also recommend that for OpenCV classes such as Mat.  (For what it's worth, my own coding style is to write std:: in front of STL classes, since there's a lot of legacy code out there with a custom string or array class, but to write cout and memcpy() rather than things like std::cout, for stuff that was around long before the STL.)
There's also a missing semicolon after the assignment of a lambda expression, which happens to look a lot like a function definition at a glance.  (@BarmakShemirani caught it, not me.)
