Grub Street Top 40
Stars I Saw
The Island of Martha's Vineyard first truly gained notoriety when the movie Jaws was filmed there. Yet, that really didn't do much in the way of boosting its popularity with tourists. After all, it was a movie about a shark attacking tourists; not the sort of thing you want to remind people of. The next big boost came from President Clinton; he came to visit the island several times. In fact, my brother rented his house to the doctors that travel with the president - they always have to be on-call and ready for any emergency.
Yet, for many years, the Island was always a place for celebrities to come; members of the "Jet Set" came there - even before that term existed. Way back in the mid 1800's, President Ulysses S. Grant came for a visit, and even stayed in the Campgrounds - in one of the gingerbread cottages. It's said the place he stayed in even set up a bowling alley so he could try the game. He threw a strike on his very first ball, and then never played again; he decided to quit while he was ahead.
More recently, all manner of Hollywood stars have stayed or lived on the Island. Part of the appeal is the laid-back attitude of the Islanders; their live and let live view of life. So long as the stars didn't make a big show of things, they were unbothered, treated as regular people. My father often told me about some of these stars, but the names didn't mean anything to me; they were old stars, and at that age, under ten, I hadn't seen many old movies.
The one star I did remember was Jimmy Cagney; I'd seen him in Yankee Doodle Dandy, and he had a boat in Tashmoo Pond. This was the same place that my Dad often kept his boat - I don't remember why. Sometimes, we'd see Cagney on his boat, and just give him a wave. He'd tip his hat back, but that was all. My Dad said that was the rule, a friendly gesture, nothing more! If you tried to talk to him, he'd walk away. We always respected his privacy.
Of course, the Kennedys often came to the Island; there had been that little "incident" over on Chappaquiddick with Ted. Many people tended not to like them, and they really didn't like it when Jackie O tried to close off her beach! She owned some land down on the south end of the Island, and she didn't like people walking on her beach. It had always been an old Massachusetts law that the beach was open to all. Jackie, with her deep pockets, had her lawyers find an ancient state law that said the property line went down to the water. You could only be on the beach if you were fishing or falconing, to use the old term. People who dared to venture onto her beach had to either carry a fishing pole or wear a thick glove. Yet, it didn't matter, it still soured people's attitude toward her!
Then there were the singers. Billy Joel bought Carly Simon's old place out in Menemsha - the house used in the Harrison Ford remake of "Sabrina." Years before, she even put on a concert down at the docks. Then there were the comedians. Sadly, John Belushi would end up buried out in Chilmark, and fans from off-island would make too much trouble; so he was moved to a more remote area of the cemetery. His friend and partner, Dan Aykroyd continued to visit with his wife. At the time, I was in college, and worked summers on the Island. A couple years, I was a dishwasher at the Brass Bass Restaurant; and they came in a couple times to eat. Often times, the owner, Primo, would let them come in before the place officially opened, so they could eat in peace. Here again, it was a strict rule that we did not bother them! Oh, it was pure torture for my nephew Nick - the aspiring actor - he so wanted to go over to them and say hello. As it turned out, Mr. Aykroyd was friends with the man who owned a curiosity shop on Circuit Ave, a place called, Take it Easy, Baby. In fact, the friend even made a few cameo appearances in some of Aykroyd's movies. If you ever see Ghostbusters, the scene where they're all in jail, the bald fellow is Aykroyd's friend.
For myself, my chief interaction with stars was when I worked at Our Market, the convenience store down on the docks in Oak Bluffs. It was there that I met Paul Benedict, probably best known for his role as Mr. Bentley, on "The Jeffersons." What was funny was that the character was English, but he was American - through and through. He was born in Silver City, New Mexico, and then raised in Arlington, Massachusetts - my hometown! So, we had a number of nice chats. I was very saddened to hear of his passing last year (December of '08). Yes, he passed away in his home on Martha's Vineyard. Finally, there was dear Patricia Neal. By this time and in college, I'd seen enough movies to know who she was. She came into the store a couple times to buy a few simple items, and we talked. The years had been kind, and she was always so sweet and polite.
These days, what with the media making "stars" out of total "non-entities," I have to say that true star quality is often shockingly lacking in some of the celebrities of today! These people I met, yeah, they were true stars.

PHILADELPHIA - The "suits," sequined and feathered Mummers costumes, were neatly organized on clothing racks and bins inside Duffy String Band's Kensington Club Thursday afternoon.
The Cedar Street clubhouse, tucked in a neighborhood of skinny streets and rowhouses, was surprisingly calm with two days to go until the String Band Super Bowl, the New Year's Day Mummers Parade from Philadelphia's City Hall to South Philly, where the oldest folk tradition in the country originated in 1901.
The band's leader Cheryl Crowe cleaned the floors, while her daughter Trish Crowe mopped behind the bar, preparing it for a hopeful victory party Jan. 1. Women sat at the bar, taking a breather from pre-parade prep.
In historically male-dominated organizations, women often play supporting roles for the male musicians in the band, creating costumes, making food, and applying makeup for the show on New Year's morning.
At Duffy, women play every role, from creating the New Year's Day routine to performing it in front of City Hall.
"We're 85 percent women," said Crowe, who owns and runs the band.
"If I didn't take women, I wouldn't be in existence."
Half the bands marching Broad Street this weekend are now co-ed, according to Philadelphia Mummers String Band Association President Tom Loomis.
Of the 17 existing string bands, eight have female members "taking a suit," this year. In Mummers slang, those members will perform for the judges this year.
In addition to Duffy, women play music for Hegeman, Greater Overbrook, Pennsport, Uptown and two bands based in South Jersey — Broomall in National Park and Durning in Gloucester City.
Twenty-five years ago, that didn't happen at all, said Loomis, of Gloucester Township.
"There was never a rule that said women couldn't march," explained Loomis, a bass saxophone player for all-male Woodland String band.
He expects the string bands who haven't already allowed women to join, likely won't.
"I don't see that changing any time soon," he said.
"There's something to be said for tradition, too."
In the 1970s, when Crowe's father ran Duffy, she set out to change tradition.
Crowe, from North Wildwood, grew up in the Cedar Street clubhouse.
"I said to my dad, 'That's not right, not taking girls,'" she told the Courier-Post.
She marched with the band as a playing member in 1970.
But the bass fiddle and banjo player wasn't the first woman on Broad Street New Year's Day, she said.
Talented women secretly paraded in the early days of the tradition, Crowe said, remembering a woman — a talented banjo player — who pretended to be a man to parade with Duffy under her father's leadership in 1959.
In 1982, South Jersey String Band put the first female string band captain on Broad Street — Dorothy Pleise.
On New Year's Day 2017, two of Duffy's percussionists — Katie Anastasi, a bass drummer, and Megan Flaherty, a snare drummer — will make Mummers history as the first female drumming duo ever to hit the parade route.
"I don't really think it's a big deal, I guess because I've grown up here and it's normal," said Flaherty, a humble Pennsauken High School junior.
"Everything men can do, women can do 10 times better."
Crowe made history in 2011. She and her sister were the first women ever inducted into the Mummers Hall of Fame in 2011.
"And it's not easy to get into the String Band Hall of Fame," Loomis said.
Crowe and Heather Leone of Uptown String Band are officers with the String Band Association.
"The inclusion isn't just in costume, it's in running the band, it's in running the association, it's in the hall of fame," Loomis said.
"Where women are involved, it's big time now."
The string band division is a fifth of the full Mummers picture. It's one of five divisions in the parade. Fancy Brigade clubs, which perform two shows at the Pennsylvania Convention Center New Year's Day, have a vibrant culture of co-ed participation, according to Kim Foley, a dancer with the 2016 champions Golden Crown.
"There are only two clubs without women in the Fancy Brigade division right now," said Foley, of Cherry Hill.
Of the 12 clubs, the Shooting Stars and Jokers remain men-only organizations.
Foley was 16 in her first parade in 1988, a decade before the Fancy Brigade Division was moved inside on Arch Street.
Golden Crown was one of the first in the 1980s to allow women to perform, she said.
For Foley, "there was never a setback."
"Women evolved in the parade. They became much more than the wives and girlfriends. They wanted to participate," she said.
"We play a huge part. We help the brigades survive."
Oct 20 How far did a family go for a goldfish?


(1) There are no special control mechanisms applying to claims for psychiatric (or physical) illness or injury arising from the stress of doing the work the employee is required to do. The ordinary principles of employer's liability apply.
(2) The threshold question is whether this kind of harm to this particular employee was reasonably foreseeable: this has two components (a) an injury to health (as distinct from occupational stress) which (b) is attributable to stress at work (as distinct from other factors) .
(3) Foreseeability depends upon what the employer knows (or ought reasonably to know) about the individual employee. Because of the nature of mental disorder, it is harder to foresee than physical injury, but may be easier to foresee in a known individual than in the population at large. An employer is usually entitled to assume that the employee can withstand the normal pressures of the job unless he knows of some particular problem or vulnerability.
(a) The nature and extent of the work done by the employee. Is the workload much more than is normal for the particular job? Is the work particularly intellectually or emotionally demanding for this employee? Are demands being made of this employee unreasonable when compared with the demands made of others in the same or comparable jobs? Or are there signs that others doing this job are suffering harmful levels of stress? Is there an abnormal level of sickness or absenteeism in the same job or the same department?
(b) Signs from the employee of impending harm to health. Has he a particular problem or vulnerability? Has he already suffered from illness attributable to stress at work? Have there recently been frequent or prolonged absences which are uncharacteristic of him? Is there reason to think that these are attributable to stress at work, for example because of complaints or warnings from him or others?
(6) The employer is generally entitled to take what he is told by his employee at face value, unless he has good reason to think to the contrary. He does not generally have to make searching enquiries of the employee or seek permission to make further enquiries of his medical advisers.
(8) The employer is only in breach of duty if he has failed to take the steps which are reasonable in the circumstances, bearing in mind the magnitude of the risk of harm occurring, the gravity of the harm which may occur, the costs and practicability of preventing it, and the justifications for running the risk.
(9) The size and scope of the employer's operation, its resources and the demands it faces are relevant in deciding what is reasonable; these include the interests of other employees and the need to treat them fairly, for example, in any redistribution of duties.
(10) An employer can only reasonably be expected to take steps which are likely to do some good: the court is likely to need expert evidence on this.
(11) An employer who offers a confidential advice service, with referral to appropriate counselling or treatment services, is unlikely to be found in breach of duty.
(14) The claimant must show that that breach of duty has caused or materially contributed to the harm suffered. It is not enough to show that occupational stress has caused the harm.
(15) Where the harm suffered has more than one cause, the employer should only pay for that proportion of the harm suffered which is attributable to his wrongdoing, unless the harm is truly indivisible. It is for the defendant to raise the question of apportionment.
(16) The assessment of damages will take account of any pre-existing disorder or vulnerability and of the chance that the claimant would have succumbed to a stress related disorder in any event.

Brescia student-led event brings global leaders to campus
London, ON – As part of International Week at Western University, on Thursday, November 16th, 120 students from across London will gather in Brescia's St. James Auditorium for the first-ever You Go Global Leaders event. A concept spearheaded by third-year Brescia student Grace Wu, the international speaker night event will feature a panel of presenters from a variety of backgrounds, including Canadian politician and community activist Olivia Chow, who will present a satellite keynote address on creating lasting change and ways to inspire community leadership.
"As an international student, who has studied and lived in London for over two years, I understand first-hand the challenges and obstacles international students can face within a new country," says event creator Grace Wu. "It is my hope that this event will not only inspire international students to lead in making positive change in their communities, but that it will also bring people together and continue to build on the growing international student network within London."
The You Go Global Leaders event is designed specifically for international students as a means for raising awareness around international education in the community. In addition to the keynote address provided by Olivia Chow, students will also hear from: working professional Jay Zhang; Western undergraduate student Marie Fiedler and high school student Raghad El Niwairi. The evening will end with a stage play.
The event was generously sponsored by the Smart and Caring Community Fund, within London Community Foundation, Libro Credit Union, CultureWorks, Western English Learner Centre, Fanshawe College, the London Language Institute and Brescia University College. All profits generated through ticket and event raffle sales will be directed to supporting the Emergency Relief for the Rohingya Refugees Project through Good Neighbors Canada.
"International students currently represent 14% of our total student population at Brescia," says Christina Lord, International Program Co-ordinator. "We are incredibly proud of Grace's leadership in bringing this idea to fruition and the important dialogue that the event will initiate. She is a shining example of the value and impact that international students bring to our campus and our community."
Media is invited to attend You Go Global Leaders, which takes place at Brescia's St. James Auditorium on Thursday, November 16th at 6:20 p.m. Parking is complimentary. For additional information, or to register, please visit: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/you-go-global-leaders-tickets-37988501631

London Free Press – Graphic novel: Comic book antihero


Friday, October 26 was the first day almost any New Yorker I know heard about the impending hurricane that was moving up the eastern sea board. My first thoughts were rather selfish ones as I was preparing for the final, most critical rehearsals for my film performances at University Settlement in Lower Manhattan the next week. In my mind, it would certainly be far more convenient if the storm had gently brushed up against the North Carolina Coast (at they usually did around this time of year) and then skedaddled sheepishly back into the Atlantic, never ever landing anywhere near the Big Apple. That would be convenient for me.
By Monday morning, I was still rather hopeful about the storm, now named a rather sweet female Sandy, though I reluctantly canceled our evening rehearsal, the only one with the full technical crew there to set our lights. I accepted that old adage "the show must go on", buried my desire to create something even near perfection and looked forward to the four shows scheduled for the end of the week. A friend reminded me that I had always been more interested in process than product, so a few embarrassing on-stage flubs would not really matter. I gulped and decided that I'd been fooling myself all these years. Artist hubris and anxiety ensued. By mid-afternoon, however, I realized that Sandy was not in the slightest bit interested in spinning her way out to a wet oblivion. She was headed right for us. I walked out to the back yard and gently tilted our tether-ball pole and our bird bath on their sides. This seemed like a cautious, well thought-out thing to do. I moved some small plants from the deck downstairs and decided our heavier plants were too cumbersome to deal with. Then, in my growing nervousness, I filled all of our cooking pots with water, thinking I was very smart, economical and ecological. Why buy bottles with water when we could just draw it from the faucet? A few hours later, I discovered that the mood in the city was getting more and more frenzied. What was a mother to do at such a time? I noticed that both of our pet frog tanks were very dirty. It seemed the right time to clean them. No one else in the house agreed but nevertheless I dumped all five gallons of bottled water that we had into the tanks and looked glowingly at the newly refreshed aquatic environment I had prepared for our ten-year old reptiles. My husband Mark was incredulous. The news reports were becoming dire. Evacuations were beginning. We began to wonder if we were indeed high enough above the filthy Gowanus Canal to avoid its imminent flooding. We all four laughed at the calm before the storm we were watching from our front windows. The rain was light, the trees barely swaying; I had managed to complete the spring cleaning of the girls' clothes that no longer fit them. Just as the wind became more intense, around 7 PM, Mark slipped out the front door to go to the sundry on Smith Street. He needed flour to bake banana bread. Life was cozy, just this side of normal. School was cancelled; tests postponed. A weird kind-of giddiness settled into our home on Carroll Street. We all got into bed, watched movies and listened to the howling of the wind outside. For a few seconds, we lost internet and the lights flickered.
Throughout the next day, Tuesday, we listened to the horrific reports of water flooding into unimaginable (and by this I am being literal, if only someone had imagined and believed such a scenario) locations along the New York City coastline, from Battery Park to Staten Island to the Rockaways. The waves were heading toward us in every direction. But it wasn't just the ocean water that was shaking our very foundation. The power of the storm was creating flooding up both the East River and the Hudson. Saline met fresh in a way that just did not seem possible. We remained inside the whole day, talking to family across the country and commiserating with our friends in town. My friend Betsy who lived through Katrina in New Orleans sent me two text messages asking if we were okay, reminding me of the very first emails I received after 9/11 from friends in Sarajevo who knew what it felt like to live in a state of siege. The interconnectedness of the globe struck me as amazing and somehow comforting.
On Wednesday morning, my brother Ira, his husband Boris, their twins and the twins' mom Kirsten decided to hire a car service and move in with us. It was Halloween and my husband's birthday, so we all welcomed their arrival with a sense of delight. After two nights and a day of getting by without power, they could no longer manage without the use of their toilets. Their apartment is on the sixth floor. Who knew that the dividing line between mechanical and electric power in terms of moving water in a high rise falls between the fifth and sixth floors? The things you learn during a crisis. My cousin called to say she was surrounded by water in DUMBO, one of the only brave souls to stay in her apartment. I tried to imagine how on earth she was going to get by. Should we rescue her in a boat?
By this time, I knew that all of my performances were going to be postponed for quite a while. No power no show, but still I worried about the Chinese people in our collective who were living in Chinatown. The subways were not working but I discovered that I could take a bus across the Manhattan Bridge. In fact, Mr. Huang was so consumed with his mahjong game that he couldn't be bothered with a phone conversation. Sheut Lee had moved in with her daughter and husband. Linda was unreachable but somehow so strong that I knew she would be okay. Still, I decided to walk around along East Broadway and Hester Street looking for them, wondering if I could help. I ended up at a Chinese housing service. They wanted me to take a taxi above 34th street to find energy bars I could hand out. How many? I wondered. How do I give them away to people with whom I can't even communicate. I bought batteries instead; it seemed more obviously useful. Then I walked around handing out Chinese-language flyers explaining where to get information and that the power should be restored within a few days. Rumor had it that the lights would actually be on by Thursday. I really had no idea. All I knew was that it was very cold, and I could not see any FEMA trucks with any food at all. I took the bus back to Brooklyn and had a wonderful late afternoon of trick or treating with my beloved but oblivious niece and nephew.
The news was getting worse by the day. All of our bridges and tunnels were closed and the watery, divided nature of the NYC metropolitan area was becoming more and more of a handicap. Homes and lives were damaged or destroyed everywhere that the ocean or the river could come in contact. Once again, I headed to Chinatown to see how I could help. I walked from street to street offering flyers to bewildered Chinese folk who had no idea where to find food or other necessities that one usually takes for granted. I met an African-American man in the cold, late afternoon sitting on a patio just outside a very tall housing project. He explained that he was practically the only one who was able to walk the sixteen floors down but now he was feeling too tired to trudge back up in the pitch dark. Furthermore, he couldn't carry the water he needed for the toilet. My husband Mark and our older daughter Maya spent the day giving out food in a public school building in Park Slope. According to Maya, she was asked to assist in the pet area and she was wondering what to do with turtles.
On Friday, I spent the day with my younger daughter Noa on our side of the East River, no need to deal with the hassle of getting ourselves across a bridge when there was need within walking distance. The two of us volunteered for hours in a community building with about fifty volunteers all working to put together shopping bags filled with the bare necessities. I was on the front line talking to needy people who would take the bags, examining their contents and then asking for specific additions for which Noa would literally run around searching. She had to find toothpaste, teddy bears, oodles of toilet paper, baby diapers in specific sizes, blankets, special food for diabetics, a coat for a woman with very large breasts. And the list goes on and on. She did a fantastic job, so full of energy and resourcefulness. With each request, the two of us would gulp, wondering how these people were going to get along when everything they owned was wet or ruined. How could you manage with a baby without diapers? How could two rolls of toilet paper be enough? What do you do with a bottle of bleach if you don't have sponges to use it? We both asked ourselves these questions. Everyone was so appreciative of whatever we had to offer. There were actually smiles galore. And I was smiling a few hours later when I heard that Mayor Bloomberg decided to endorse Obama as president based on one thing: his commitment to working to fight Global Warming. We all know that this situation is no longer an anomaly. It is our new normal.
The next morning, Maya, Noa, Mark and I returned to Red Hook in the car. We clearly had one of the only cars around that was full of gas, so when we offered to carry hot meals to one of the housing projects, the Red Hook Initiative immediately accepted. Only problem was that we didn't have flashlights and we needed to walk up and down twelve flights of completely dark stairwells carrying plates of food. We had to drive all the way back home to pick up a flashlight, as there were none left at Loewe's or anywhere for that matter. Luckily, we found four and off we went from the ground floor up, each of us carrying two bags of meals along with a list of which apartments needed nourishment. The stairs were a bit scary in the dark, especially since they were wet from the pipes that were being used to fill up buckets for toilets. Oh my. But once we figured out our system, we actually had a great time meeting the families and older people. The warm feeling of appreciation was amazing.
On Monday, Noa, a friend of hers and I took a bag of winter clothes to the Red Hook Initiative which was filled with doctors with stethoscopes. It was like we'd landed in a Doctors Without Borders compound. We placed our own donations on a mountain of clothing and within minutes I was watching a woman pluck up an old pink fleece jacket, from our foyer to her hands so quickly and urgently. Later we were asked to go through the pile and separate the summer from the winter items. It didn't seem so important but then again, these people are not looking to fill out their wardrobes, they simply need enough warmth to survive.
Yesterday, I planted flower bulbs in the back yard and discovered a patch of large radishes I had given up on in August. I guess there is some good that has come from all of the water. I have no idea when or if we will have snow this year. Will spring arrive in February? Strange weather.

Q: Azure Blob Upload not working in ASP .Net Core Application I am trying to upload a file to Azure blob storage in Asp .Net Core. Everything seems to be working but no file is uploaded. Here is my code snippet:
        var blobReference = GetBlobReference();
        rawData.Position = 0;

        //  var result = blobReference.UploadFromStreamAsync(rawData);
        var result = blobReference.UploadFromFileAsync("C:\\users\\tjaartb\\Downloads\\DebitOrderMandate.pdf");
        result.GetAwaiter().GetResult();
        var blobPath = blobReference.Uri.ToString();

What's happening?
The debugger steps over the result.GetAwaiter().GetResult() with no exceptions occurring. Checking the result Task variable after the GetResult() call shows that the task state is RanToCompletion and the exception property is blank. My blob container is created successfully in earlier code indicating that the connection to blob storage is successful. GetResult() finishes instantly, so it seems like nothing is happening.
Things I've checked

*

*rawData is a MemoryStream that is populated with file data. Using the commented line to try and upload via a stream is not successful either.

*The connection to Azure is working.

*The file path exists.

*There are no exceptions thrown.

*The only thing in my debug window output is Started Thread <ThreadNumber>

*Putting an invalid path in the call to blobReference.UploadFromFileAsync() throws a FileNotFoundException as expected.

*I've tried downgrading my project to netcoreapp2.0 from netcoreapp2.1 with no success.

A: the following code with WindowsAzure.Storage - Version 9.3.1 package works on Asp Net Core 2.1.
public class AzureBlobModel
{
    public string FileName { get; set; }
    public long? FileSize { get; set; }
    public Stream Stream { get; set; }
    public string ContentType { get; set; }
}

public interface IImageStore
{
    Task<string> SaveDocument(Stream documentStream);
    Task<bool> DeleteDocument(string imageId);
    Task<AzureBlobModel> DownloadDocument(string documentId, string fileName);
    string UriFor(string documentId);
}

public class ImageStore : IImageStore
{
    CloudBlobClient blobClient;
    string baseUri = "https://xxxxx.blob.core.windows.net/";

    public ImageStore()
    {
        var credentials = new StorageCredentials("xxxxx accountName xxxxx", "xxxxx keyValue xxxxx");
        blobClient = new CloudBlobClient(new Uri(baseUri), credentials);
    }

    public async Task<string> SaveDocument(Stream documentStream)
    {
        var documentId = Guid.NewGuid().ToString();
        var container = blobClient.GetContainerReference("xxxxx container xxxxx");
        var blob = container.GetBlockBlobReference(documentId);
        await blob.UploadFromStreamAsync(documentStream);
        return documentId;
    }

    public async Task<bool> DeleteDocument(string documentId)
    {
        var container = blobClient.GetContainerReference("xxxxx container xxxxx");
        var blob = container.GetBlockBlobReference(documentId);
        bool blobExisted = await blob.DeleteIfExistsAsync();
        return blobExisted;
    }

    public async Task<AzureBlobModel> DownloadDocument(string documentId, string fileName)
    {
        var container = blobClient.GetContainerReference("xxxxx container xxxxx");
        var blob = container.GetBlockBlobReference(documentId);

        var doc = new AzureBlobModel()
        {
            FileName = fileName,
            Stream = new MemoryStream(),
        };

        doc.Stream = await blob.OpenReadAsync();
        doc.ContentType = blob.Properties.ContentType;
        doc.FileSize = blob.Properties.Length;

        return doc;
    }

    public string UriFor(string documentId)
    {
        var sasPolicy = new SharedAccessBlobPolicy
        {
            Permissions = SharedAccessBlobPermissions.Read,
            SharedAccessStartTime = DateTime.UtcNow.AddMinutes(-15),
            SharedAccessExpiryTime = DateTime.UtcNow.AddDays(1)
        };

        var container = blobClient.GetContainerReference("xxxxx container xxxxx");
        var blob = container.GetBlockBlobReference(documentId);
        var sas = blob.GetSharedAccessSignature(sasPolicy);
        return $"{baseUri}xxxxx container xxxxx/{documentId}{sas}";
    }
}

public class DocForCreationDto
{
    public IFormFile File { get; set; }

    // other properties ...
}

// On the controller

[HttpPost]
public async Task<IActionResult> Upload([FromForm]DocForCreationDto docForCreationDto)
{
    if (docForCreationDto.File == null || !ModelState.IsValid)
    {
        return new UnprocessableEntityObjectResult(ModelState);
    }

    string documentId = string.Empty;
    using (var stream = docForCreationDto.File.OpenReadStream())
    {
        documentId = await _imageStore.SaveDocument(stream);
    }

    if (documentId != string.Empty)
    {
        // upload ok ...
        //some business logic here ...
        return Ok();
    }

    return BadRequest("xxx error xxx");
}

[HttpGet("{documentId}", Name = "GetDocument")]
public async Task<IActionResult> GetDocument(int documentId)
{
    var doc = await _imageStore.DownloadDocument(documentId, "output filename");

    return File(doc.Stream, doc.ContentType, doc.FileName);
}

// On Startup - ConfigureServices

services.AddSingleton<IImageStore, ImageStore>();

A: Adding a / prefix to a Blob name results in a silent failure. The file does not upload at all. removing the / prefix fixed the problem.

A: With .NET Core 2.1 and WindowsAzure.Storage 9.3.2 all the methods are now async.  If you don't await all the async method calls you can get silent failures.  The comments below the question helped me figure that out.

A:
The interface I am implementing in that method is part of a larger ecosystem that doesn't have async signatures. It would require a lot of effort to refactor it.

You could use Wait() to replace await to implement the async signatures.Refer to the following code:
CloudStorageAccount storageAccount = CloudStorageAccount.Parse(connection);
CloudBlobClient cloudBlobClient = storageAccount.CreateCloudBlobClient();
var cloudBlobContainer = cloudBlobClient.GetContainerReference("containername");
CloudBlockBlob blob = cloudBlobContainer.GetBlockBlobReference("DebitOrderMandate.pdf");
using (var fileStream = System.IO.File.OpenRead("C:\\users\\tjaartb\\Downloads\\DebitOrderMandate.pdf"))
{
    blob.UploadFromStreamAsync(fileStream).Wait();
}

Jacques Flowers Est. 1910
Our Happy History dates back to 1910, when O. Roaul Jacques opened his greenhouses of plants and vegetables behind his three-tenement house on Lowell Street in Manchester, NH. The Flower Shop portion of the business was added by his young daughter, Colombe, a recent high school graduate looking to make her career. With her father's blessing, Colombe rode the train to Boston each day to attend floral design school, and after graduation became a partner in his growing business. Colombe certainly was a pioneer of her time, postponing marriage to focus on her business ~ even making deliveries on her bicycle during the Great Depression! Eventually Colombe did marry, and she and her husband relocated the Flower Shop to the Amoskeag Bridge, where she ran the business for nearly 50 years!
In 1974, after the birth of their second child, Paul Godbout went to his favorite flower shop to buy flowers for his wife, Nancy. His gift of gab in hand, Paul got to talking with Colombe, who spoke of her difficult decision to sell her beautiful business to take care of her ailing husband. She was looking for someone she could trust to take her shop into the future. Paul was inspired! He arrived at the hospital with Nancy's flowers and a proposal: "Let's Buy Jacques!" After Nancy got over her surprise (their baby was just barely 5 hours old!), they decided to do just that.
Over the years, Paul & Nancy have dedicated themselves to serving the greater Manchester area as stewards of beauty and community service. Their bottomless energy and commitment to quality and customer service has driven Jacques into the new century, expanded and relocated to its current address on Mast Road in West Manchester.
And what of that little inspiration baby? All three of Paul & Nancy's children have been blessed to grow up working in the floral industry. Currently Adam & Aimee manage the day-to-day operations with a fabulous Team, while Paul & Nancy's three granddaughters also pitch in. And who knows? Perhaps one day their great-grandchildren will also be working in the business that has provided two families with lifetimes of love and beauty.

The Scotch mist that wafts around Duart Castle at the opening of Rachel Maclean's new film speaks volumes about where she's coming from; this major commission for the Mull-based Comar organisation looks like a big leap towards something even more ambitious than her previous work. Films such as LolCats and Over The Rainbow became pop cultural cut-ups, featuring green-screen footage resembling Lady Gaga and Katy Perry video stylings. In them, Maclean played a multitude of day-glo cosplaying creatures lip-syncing dialogue she had sampled and rearranged from an eclectic array of film and TV sources, to create her own fantastical narratives.
However, following her three-screen, epic dissection of broken Britain in the Oliver-sampling Happy and Glorious, The Weepers sees Maclean put flesh and blood on her dressing-up-box, multi-tracking as she directs real live actors in a bricks-and-mortar setting. Not that there is anything remotely resembling kitchen-sink naturalism about this 25 minute short that looks to tartan kitsch, Beast in the Cellar-era Hammer horror and the sort of dungeon-dwelling history-based Scots gothic that used to clog up Halloween tea-time TV schedules.
Scripted by Andrew Cattanach and with an original soundtrack by Sorren Maclean and Hannah Fisher, Maclean's film sets out its store from the off: the grim-faced Doctor turns up at the labyrinthine ancestral home of Lady Maclean to take stock of the bright-eyed tat that forms the detritus of the Maclean clan's crumbling pile. Given the filmmaker's name and the fact that her reimagining of the legend of the Bean Nighe or Washer Woman – a grotesque spirit who wrings out the blood from the grave-clothes of those close to death – was filmed in the actual seat of the Maclean clan, such an in-joke is a way in for Maclean that provides dramatic riches for what follows.
Played by well-known comic actor Steven McNicoll, the Doctor's hang-dog dourness is off-set by the fruity faux politesse of his hostess, who sounds like a well-primed Jean Brodie – if Muriel Spark had rewritten her for the Sunday Post funnies page, fed her shortbread and given her a Vivienne Westwood/See-You-Jimmy make-over. It is after hours, however, when things really come to life, as a wailing oversize woolly mutation duly fleeces the Doctor, allowing the Maclean dynasty to lurch on in the shadows unmolested.
Beyond the pantomimic wit and close-up melodrama of The Weepers, there is an inherent seriousness in a film that seems to stem from a time when artists' films could still flirt with a mainstream which accepted them in part, even as it kept its distance. This is a trope that has been picked up by the likes of The League of Gentlemen and their assorted offshoots, whose high-camp pastiches of clunky Grand Guignol are nevertheless meticulously observed. And in Maclean's hands, Celtic twilight clichés become something altogether more dangerous, in this darkly comic miniature masterpiece.
An Tober, Tobermory, Isle of Mull, until Sat 27 Sep.

Michael McIntyre Splashes Out £150K on Matte Black Ferrari California
Image source: Privé Access / Flickr - Licensed for reuse under Creative Commons 2.0
Before shooting to fame in 2006, Michael McIntyre was £40,000 in debt according to the Daily Mail, he shared a one bedroom flat in North London with his wife and son and drove an Austin Metro to his stand-up gigs. Fast forward to 2014 and his car collection includes a BMW X5, a Jaguar and a Porsche Cayenne. Which is a testament to exactly how far the comedian has come in the last eight years.
Now with his latest stand-up comedy tour set to earn him a huge twelve-figure sum, Michael has added another car to his enviable collection, in the form of a £150,000 matte black Ferrari California like the one pictured above.
Capable of 0-60mph in a breathtaking 3.8 seconds and with a top speed of 193mph, he was reported to look proud of his new addition to the family as the comedian parked it outside of his now £3.5 million home.
Despite being the oldest member of the Ferrari family, the California is powered by an impressive 4.3 litre V8 engine which achieves approximately 13mpg during city driving and 19mpg on the motorways. With 490hp and a seven speed dual clutch transmission, carbon ceramic brakes and an electronic traction control system all ensuring that, despite its age, the Ferrari California remains a formidable competitor in the supercar category.
When designing the Ferrari California, Pininfarina opted for a classic, sculpted chassis, with a long bonnet and the passenger area slightly weighted towards the rear. The cockpit is the only part of the car that is noticeably dated. The indicators, the windscreen wipers and the headlights are all on stalks, whereas these functions have all been replaced by buttons on the steering wheel on a majority of the latest Ferrari models.

KUA 2019 Osceola Hurricane Handbook
Want vapes, cigarettes? You have to be 21 now
Dec 29, 2019 | Florida News, Health & Fitness, Osceola News |
New legislation introduced by the U.S. Senate earlier this month has raised the legal age limit on all tobacco sales from 18 to 21 nationwide.
The Food and Drug Administration, who has the enforcement power of it, announced Friday that the Tobacco-Free Youth Act, legislation passed by Congress and signed by the president Dec. 20, is in effect.
It raises the nationwide minimum age to buy all tobacco products, including e-cigarettes and vaping devices, to 21.
Since there already was an existing federal law setting the federal minimum at 18 years old — even though 18 states and many cities had already set their legal age for tobacco sales at 21 — and the change only involved increasing the age limit in existing law, the FDA said it is able to go into effect immediately.
The Tobacco-Free Youth Act, introduced by U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ken.) and Tim Kaine (D-Va.), senators from two states with a long history of tobacco production and consumption.
A release from McConnell's camp said the motivation was to, "help protect young people from the dangers of nicotine."
"Passage of this lifesaving legislation is an enormous victory for the health of our young people," Kaine said in a statement. "By raising the age to buy tobacco products nationwide, we can save 223,000 lives and reduce youth tobacco use. I'm grateful for the work of my colleagues on both sides of the aisle and all the Virginians who made their voices heard to join us in this critical effort to improve public health. This is one of many steps we should take to tackle the youth e-cigarette epidemic that touches every corner of our nation."
Democrat Senator, US Senate
The American Lung Association, the Preventing Tobacco Addiction Foundation and the the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids were among a handful of groups that supported the new legislation.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's 2019 statistics, over 6 million U.S. middle and high school students were current users of tobacco products with 1 in 3 high school students and 1 in 8 middle school students reporting using some type of tobacco product in the past 30 days.
Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia and Washington – along with Washington, DC and over 500 localities had already raised their minimum age for tobacco sales to 21.
