Two great orchestras celebrating 175th anniversary
This year marks the 175th anniversary of the founding of two of the world's most renowned orchestras: The Vienna Philharmonic and the New York Philharmonic. To mark the occasion , both orchestras have organised an exhibition to be presented in the two cities in the coming months.

The exhibition will include documents from the founding of both orchestras, historic conducting scores and other archival material. It will open in February in New York at the Austrian Cultural Forum before moving to Vienna in late March, where it can be seen at the Haus der Musik. The opening of the exhibition in the Austrian capital will coincide with a visit by the New York Philharmonic on its European spring tour.
Andreas Großbauer of the Vienna Philharmonic told APA that many objects will be exhibited to the public for the first time. A permanent archive is also to be established at the Haus der Musik to commemorate the anniversary.
Gustavo Dudamel had the honur of conducting the Vienna Philharmonic in its traditional New Year's Day concert this year, becoming the youngest conductor to do so. Around 50 million viewers in 90 countries watched the concert, and the performance has already been released on a double CD.
The New York Philharmonic's history has been well documented. A digital archive opened last year contains information about the more than 16,000 performances organised by the orchestra since 1842. The collection includes a programme from the New York Philharmonic's opening concert on 7 December, 1842, when, among other things, they performed Beethoven's Symphony No. 5. A copy of the score used is also available.
The New York Philharmonic is also marking its 175th season with the New World Initiative, which contains a number of initiatives exploring Dvorak's Symphony No. 9 across the city. Musicians from very different genres are coming together in the project by performing the "Going Home" melody throughout New York.

CHD commonly causes angina pectoris (chest pain), shortness of breath, myocardial infarction, or heart attack. It is the most common type of heart disease in the United States, where it accounts for 370,000 deaths every year.
Coronary heart disease accounted for 23.5 percent of all deaths in the U.S. in 2008.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), about 735,000 Americans have a heart attack each year.
Warning signs and symptoms include chest pain or discomfort and shortness of breath.
Examples of coronary heart disease include angina and heart attack.
The heart is a muscle, about the same size as an adult human fist. Blood is pumped from the heart to the lungs, where it collects oxygen. This oxygen-rich blood is then pumped back to the heart and then to organs throughout the body through arteries.
The blood then returns to the heart through the veins and is pumped to the lungs again. This is called circulation.
Coronary arteries are the heart's network of blood vessels. They exist on the surface of the heart, and they supply the heart muscle with oxygen. If the coronary arteries narrow, the supply of oxygen-rich blood to the heart may become too low, especially during physical activity.
At first, this reduction in blood flow may not produce any symptoms, but as fatty deposits, or plaques, build up in the coronary arteries, signs and symptoms may emerge.
CHD is believed to start with injury or damage to the inner layer of a coronary artery.
This damage causes fatty plaque deposits to build up at the site of the injury. These deposits consist of cholesterol and other cellular waste products. The accumulation is called atherosclerosis.
If pieces break off or rupture, platelets will clump in the area, attempting to repair the blood vessel. This clump can block the artery, reducing or blocking blood flow, and leading to a heart attack.
Below is a 3-D model of CHD, which is fully interactive.
Explore the model using your mouse pad or touchscreen to understand more about CHD.
Chest pain: People describe it as a squeezing, pressure, heaviness, tightening, burning, or aching across the chest. It usually starts behind the breastbone. The pain often spreads to the neck, jaw, arms, shoulders, throat, back, or even the teeth.
Related symptoms: Other symptoms include indigestion, heartburn, weakness, sweating, nausea, cramping, and shortness of breath.
Stable angina: The discomfort may last for a short period of time, and it may feel like gas or indigestion. It happens when the heart is working harder than usual, such as during exercise. It has a regular pattern. It can happen over months or years. Rest or medication can relieve symptoms.
Unstable angina: This is often caused by blood clots in the coronary artery. It occurs at rest, it is surprising, it lasts longer, and it may worsen over time.
Variant angina: This type occurs at rest, and it is usually severe. It happens when there is a spasm in an artery that causes it to tighten and narrow, disrupting blood supply to the heart. Triggers include exposure to cold, stress, medicines, smoking, or cocaine use.
CHD can lead to shortness of breath. If the heart and other organs are getting too little oxygen, the patient may start panting. Any exertion may be very tiring.
Heart attack, or myocardial infarction, happens when the heart muscle does not have enough blood, and therefore oxygen. The muscle dies, and a heart attack occurs.
A heart attack commonly occurs when a blood clot develops from a plaque in one of the coronary arteries. The clot, if it is big enough, can stop the supply of blood to the heart. The blood clot is known as coronary thrombosis.
The first symptom is normally chest pain that spreads to the neck, jaw, ears, arms, and wrists, and possibly the shoulder blades, the back, or the abdomen.
Changing position, resting, or lying down brings no relief. The pain is often constant, but it can come and go. It can last from a few minutes to many hours.
A heart attack is a medical emergency. It can result in death or permanent damage to the heart muscle. If anyone has signs of a heart attack, it is crucial to call the emergency services immediately.
Treatment options include inserting a small metal mesh to expand and support the artery.
CHD cannot be cured, but with today's technology, it can be managed effectively.
Treatment involves lifestyle changes, and possibly some medical procedures and medications.
Lifestyle recommendations include quitting smoking, eating a healthy diet, and exercising regularly.
Statins: These are the only medications demonstrated to have a positive impact on outcomes in CHD, but if a person has another underlying cholesterol disorder, they may not work.
Low-dose aspirin: This can reduce blood clotting and lower the chance of angina or a heart attack in people with a high risk of a cardiovascular event.
Beta blockers: May be used to reduce blood pressure and heart rate, especially in a person who has already had a heart attack.
Nitroglycerin patches, sprays, or tablets: These control chest pain by reducing the heart's demand for blood by widening the coronary arteries.
Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors: These lower blood pressure and help to slow or stop the progression of CHD.
Calcium channel blockers: This will widen the coronary arteries, allowing greater blood flow to the heart, and reduce hypertension.
In the past, many people took an aspirin a day to lower the risk of cardiovascular disease, but current guidelines only recommend this for people with a high risk of a heart attack, stroke, angina, or other cardiovascular events.
Aspirin is a blood thinner, and it can increase the risk of bleeding.
Doctors now recommend focusing on lifestyle strategies, such as a healthful diet and exercise, to reduce the risk of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease.
Laser surgery: This involves making several tiny holes in the heart muscle, which encourage the formation of new blood vessels.
Coronary bypass surgery: The surgeon uses a blood vessel from another part of the body to create a graft that can bypass the blocked artery. The graft may come from the leg or an inner chest-wall artery.
Angioplasty and stent placement: A catheter is inserted into the narrowed part of the artery. A deflated balloon is passed through the catheter to the affected area. When the balloon is inflated, it compresses the fatty deposits against the artery walls. A stent, or mesh tube, may be left in the artery to help keep it open.
Rarely, a heart transplant may be carried out, if the heart is badly damaged and treatment is not working.
Controlling blood cholesterol levels reduces the risk of CHD. Being physically active, limiting alcohol intake, avoiding tobacco, and consuming a healthy diet with reduced sugar and salt can all help.
People with CHD or diabetes should ensure they control these conditions by following the doctor's recommendations.
Increase inflammation and cause more cholesterol to deposit in coronary arteries.
A woman who smokes 20 cigarettes a day is six times more likely to develop CHD than a woman who has never smoked.
Men who smoke regularly are three times more likely to develop CHD compared with men who have never smoked.
As people age the risk increases.
Men are more likely to develop CHD, although the risk for women is still significant, especially after menopause.
Having a parent who developed CHD before the age of 60 years increases the risk of developing it.
Uncontrolled hypertension, or high blood pressure, causes arteries to thicken and narrow, reducing blood flow.
High blood cholesterol increases the chance of plaque building up, and this makes atherosclerosis more likely.
Lack of exercise increases the risk, as does poor diet, including consumption of processed meat, trans fats, and fast foods.
Long-term emotional and mental stress have been linked with damage to arteries.
Components of metabolic syndrome, such as diabetes type II and obesity, are linked to a higher risk of developing CHD.
High levels of homocysteine, an amino acid produced by the body. Studies have linked it to a higher incidence of CHD.
High levels of fibrinogen, a blood protein involved in the blood clotting process. Excess levels may encourage the clumping of platelets, resulting in the formation of clots.
High levels of lipoprotein have been associated with a higher risk of cardiovascular disease and CHD.
Electrocardiogram (ECG): This records the electrical activity and rhythms of the heart.
Holter monitor: This is a portable device that the patient wears under their clothes for 2 days or more. It records all the electrical activity of the heart, including the heartbeats.
Echocardiogram: This is an ultrasound scan that checks the pumping heart. It uses sound waves to provide a video image.
Stress test: This may involve the use of a treadmill or medication that stresses the heart.
Coronary catheterization: A dye is injected into the heart arteries through a catheter that is threaded through an artery, often in the leg or arm, to the arteries in the heart. An X-ray then detects narrow spots or blockages revealed by the dye.
CT scans: These help the doctor to visualize the arteries, detect any calcium within fatty deposits that narrow coronary arteries, and to characterize other heart abnormalities.
Nuclear ventriculography: This uses tracers, or radioactive materials, to show the heart chambers. The material is injected into the vein. It attaches to red blood cells and passes through the heart. Special cameras or scanners trace the movement of the material.
Blood tests: These can measure blood cholesterol levels, especially in people who are over 40 years old, have a family history of heart or cholesterol-related conditions, are overweight, and have high blood pressure or another condition, such as an underactive thyroid gland, or any condition which may elevate blood levels of cholesterol.

description: How to create base images
keywords: images, base image, examples
redirect_from:
- /engine/articles/baseimages/
- /engine/userguide/eng-image/baseimages/
title: Create a base image
---

Most Dockerfiles start from a parent image. If you need to completely control
the contents of your image, you might need to create a base image instead.
Here's the difference:

- A [parent image](/glossary.md?term=parent%20image) is the image that your
  image is based on. It refers to the contents of the `FROM` directive in the
  Dockerfile. Each subsequent declaration in the Dockerfile modifies this parent
  image. Most Dockerfiles start from a parent image, rather than a base image.
  However, the terms are sometimes used interchangeably.

- A [base image](/glossary.md?term=base%20image) either has no `FROM` line
  in its Dockerfile, or has `FROM scratch`.

This topic shows you several ways to create a base image. The specific process
will depend heavily on the Linux distribution you want to package. We have some
examples below, and you are encouraged to submit pull requests to contribute new
ones.

## Create a full image using tar

In general, start with a working machine that is running
the distribution you'd like to package as a parent image, though that is
not required for some tools like Debian's
[Debootstrap](https://wiki.debian.org/Debootstrap), which you can also
use to build Ubuntu images.

It can be as simple as this to create an Ubuntu parent image:

    $ sudo debootstrap xenial xenial > /dev/null
    $ sudo tar -C xenial -c . | docker import - xenial

    a29c15f1bf7a

    $ docker run xenial cat /etc/lsb-release

    DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
    DISTRIB_RELEASE=16.04
    DISTRIB_CODENAME=xenial
    DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 16.04 LTS"

There are more example scripts for creating parent images in the Docker
GitHub Repo:

 - [BusyBox](https://github.com/moby/moby/blob/master/contrib/mkimage/busybox-static)
 - CentOS / Scientific Linux CERN (SLC) [on Debian/Ubuntu](
   https://github.com/moby/moby/blob/master/contrib/mkimage/rinse) or
   [on CentOS/RHEL/SLC/etc.](
   https://github.com/moby/moby/blob/master/contrib/mkimage-yum.sh)
 - [Debian / Ubuntu](
   https://github.com/moby/moby/blob/master/contrib/mkimage/debootstrap)

## Create a simple parent image using scratch

You can use Docker's reserved, minimal image, `scratch`, as a starting point for
building containers. Using the `scratch` "image" signals to the build process
that you want the next command in the `Dockerfile` to be the first filesystem
layer in your image.

While `scratch` appears in Docker's repository on the hub, you can't pull it,
run it, or tag any image with the name `scratch`. Instead, you can refer to it
in your `Dockerfile`. For example, to create a minimal container using
`scratch`:

```Dockerfile
FROM scratch
ADD hello /
CMD ["/hello"]
```

Assuming you built the "hello" executable example by following the instructions
at
[https://github.com/docker-library/hello-world/](https://github.com/docker-library/hello-world/),
and you compiled it with the `-static` flag, you can build this Docker
image using this `docker build` command:

```bash
docker build --tag hello .
```

Don't forget the `.` character at the end, which sets the build context to the
current directory.

> **Note**: Because Docker Desktop for Mac and Docker Desktop for Windows use a Linux VM,
> you need a Linux binary, rather than a Mac or Windows binary.
> You can use a Docker container to build it:
>
> ```bash
> $ docker run --rm -it -v $PWD:/build ubuntu:16.04
>
> container# apt-get update && apt-get install build-essential
> container# cd /build
> container# gcc -o hello -static -nostartfiles hello.c
> ```

To run your new image, use the `docker run` command:

```bash
docker run --rm hello
```

This example creates the hello-world image used in the tutorials.
If you want to test it out, you can clone
[the image repo](https://github.com/docker-library/hello-world).

## More resources

There are lots more resources available to help you write your `Dockerfile`.

* There's a [complete guide to all the instructions](/engine/reference/builder.md) available for use in a `Dockerfile` in the reference section.
* To help you write a clear, readable, maintainable `Dockerfile`, we've also
written a [`Dockerfile` best practices guide](dockerfile_best-practices.md).
* If your goal is to create a new Official Image, be sure to read up on Docker's [Official Images](/docker-hub/official_images/).

Q: Vertically Aligning Flexbox Items Correctly I am working on creating a footer for my app where there are 3 main components. The current footer container is:

.footer-container {
  position: fixed;
  left: 0;
  bottom: 0;
  width: 100%;
  background-color: $bar-color;

Each child element has

display: inline-block

And it produces the vertical alignment that I am looking for:

However, I am looking to center the 3 components equally across the footer. The flexbox space-between option looked like it would fit best, therefore I tried it. In terms of horizontal alignment, it is perfect, however when I add

display: flex;
align-items: center;

to the footer-container class it moves the first item down. Like this:

I'm not sure why this is occurring. How would I fix it?

A: A flexbox has two main axes. You are aligning items along one axis of the flex container with align-items, but you also need to include the justify-content property for aligning along the other main axis of the flex container. That is why you see the uneven row.
When you specify both axes of the container with CSS properties justify-content and align-items, using space-between works as expected. Flexbox docs

html, body {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  background: #111;
}

:root {
  --footer-color: #000;
}

.footer-container {
  display: flex;
  align-items: center;
  justify-content: space-between;
  position: fixed;
  left: 0;
  bottom: 0;
  width: 100%;
  background-color: var(--footer-color);
}

.footer-container p {
  display: inline-block;
  color: #FFF;
}

Sep. 28, 2019 1:30 p.m.
After 15 years of cycle touring, Chris and Heather Hartridge have become known as the Quesnel Bikers.
While touring through North America, Mexico, Nicaragua and many other beautiful places, the couple has been sharing their journeys through a blog and through articles published in the Observer.
"A lot of people know us as the bikers," Chris said with a laugh. "We have a whole other Quesnel life. We had businesses here, and I still teach at the college, but we're the Quesnel Bikers."
Next week, the Hartridges will depart on a five-and-a-half-month tour through South Korea and southeast Asia, and once again, they will be sending us periodic articles and photos from the road.
Chris and Heather say social media plays quite a role in their travels now, as they can follow people and connect with them and ask them questions — and others can ask them questions as well. They have a blog that people can follow, and they can use social media to find out things like where the best coffee shops are.
"For cyclists, social media has become a worldwide community," said Chris. "We help other people with advice because we have quite a bit of experience, and we ask advice of other people. Right now, we're talking to people who are in South Korea right now."
The Internet has also helped connect the Hartridges to a worldwide group called Warm Showers, which Chris explains "is like couch surfing for cyclists." The couple has been part of this group for many years, and through this, they have hosted many cyclists at their home in Quesnel and stayed at many different places along their travels.
The day I interviewed the couple, they had just said goodbye to a cyclist from Ireland they had hosted.
"We've been hosts and guests of Warm Showers for over 11 years, and we've stayed at a lot of really interesting places, with people you'd never get to meet, ever," said Chris.
"That's one of the reasons we're going to South Korea," added Heather. "We had these Koreans stay with us three years ago, and they had bike problems, and they ended up staying with us for 10 days, and they were just a lovely young couple. They just said to us 'if you ever go to South Korea, connect with us,' so they're going to lend us all our camping gear so we don't have to take any camping gear, which is wonderful."
It was this couple who advised the Hartridges that October is the best time to visit South Korea.
"It's just a great opportunity because if you go into a country like South Korea, where do you start, where do you head," said Heather. "Just having them to advise us as to best trails, it's invaluable, so we just kind of felt we had to do it this year. We're getting older. Our travels might be closer to home in the future — it's hard to say."
Heather says they like to go with the flow, and when people offer them suggestions — like their recent Irish Warm Showers guest telling them they have to cycle the Balkans — they like to listen.
The Hartridges will be gone Oct. 1 to March 20.
"We're very excited," said Heather. "We're adventurous. It keeps our life interesting."
"We're quite addicted to it because we love it so much and it feels so good when we do it and we meet so many wonderful people and we see so many wonderful things that we just can't seem to stop," said Chris.
Chris says their South Korea trip is "relatively easy-ish" because of they have dedicated bicycle paths.
"They're such a cultured country," added Heather.
"In contrast to northern Thailand, which is actually where we'll start cycling," said Chris, noting they'll land in Bangkok and start in Chiang Mai. "We've never been to Asia, ever, so this is a wonderful culture shock in a way. It's going to be great. Immediately, the climate will have changed, and the language has changed."
Heather says they are doing a cooking school in Bangkok, and she wants to do an organic country cooking school once they get to Chiang Mai too.
"We've heard nothing but amazing things about the food," she said.
"The other side of it is to learn the history and culture of a place that we don't know a lot about," added Chris.
Thailand, Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia are on the list, and the Hartridges have two firm visas for Thailand and Vietnam. With the others, you get the visa at the border, so they'll see how it goes.
"Laos has a couple of issues once in a while, so you just have to keep your ears open," said Heather.
"Our federal government has a really wonderful travel website section, so we're registered with them as going on a tour, and you can modify that reservation every time you've got a new destination," said Chris. "But it also gives places to avoid, so we appreciate that, and we'll use that information."
The first place the Hartridges are staying in Bangkok is a place they discovered on Facebook called The Spinning Bear Bike Hostel, which is a hostel with a bicycle shop attached, and Chris says the owner has been very helpful so far, giving them tips and advice and offering to store the gear they don't want for four and a half months.
Heather says they do about seven to eight kilometres an hour, which gives them a chance to really experience a place.
"We don't do those big miles anymore," she said. "We used to, but it's too hard on us. And I want to enjoy it, and stop and look at this lovely lake and go for a walk through the forest."
"All along, it's been that way — we've never been on a time-based or destination-based program," added Chris. "Some places have been booked ahead of time, but we always give ourselves lots of time to get there, to stop and smell the roses, meet the people along the way. There are so many people who are focused on just the ride as opposed to the experience."
Heather feels fortunate they are still healthy enough and able to do big tours like this.
"We're very lucky," she said. "I always say, I kind of coined the phrase it's like rolling meditation because it's very rhythmical and it's just like rolling meditation, especially when you're in an area when it's just fresh air. The people we've met, it's kind of re-affirmed our faith in humanity. If you just watch the news, you think everyone's out to get you, and it's just not true."
"This Warm Showers has gone a long way to support that because people welcome you with open arms generally, and you've never met them, and there's no money exchanged," said Chris. "The structure of the website is so well done that you know who you're going to visit, and they know who's coming to stay, and you know what to expect when you get there."
"It makes the world a little more friendlier," added Heather. "No matter where you go, people are people."
The Hartridges camp and make their own food the majority of the time they are on the road, but they do sometimes take refuge in a hotel, for example when they are trapped by a storm.
"Cycle touring is a bit of a metaphor for life," said Chris. "There's ups and downs, you have to prepared for if stuff happens and not freak out when it happens and just deal with it, and that can be anything from a bike breakdown to a medical thing."
The Hartridges' tour is called The Good Neighbour Tour because they are meeting their neighbours around the world but also in memory of a good friend. Murray Boal was a singer-songwriter in Quesnel that Chris used to play music with, and he passed away from cancer. One of Boal's best-known songs is "Good Neighbour."
"We named our last two tours after his song," said Chris.

Q: How to add security/credentials to TcpListener class while accepting the request from client? This is my email service application (server) which contains the code for send email
Below code is written to do on service startup to keep listen the requests from client
public IPEndPoint Endpoint { get; set; }
public TcpListener Listener { get; set; }
private IHandler _Handler = null;

public bool OnStart()
{
    Endpoint = new IPEndPoint(IPAddress.Any, 333);
    Listener = new TcpListener(Endpoint);
    Listener.Start();

    while (true)
    {
        TcpClient client = Listener.AcceptTcpClient();
        _Handler.Initialize(client);
        Thread thread = new Thread(() => _Handler.ProcessRequest());
        thread.Start();
    }
}

Below is the code to process the request
public void ProcessRequest()
        {
            Write("Email Server");
            string strMessage = String.Empty;
            while (true)
            {
                try
                {
                    strMessage = Read();
                }
                catch (Exception e)
                {
                    break;
                }

                if (strMessage.Length > 0)
                {
                    if (strMessage.StartsWith("ABC"))
                    {
                        //Code to send email
                    }

                }
                else
                {
                    break;//exit while
                }
            }
        }

        private void Write(String strMessage)
        {
            NetworkStream clientStream = _client.GetStream();
            ASCIIEncoding encoder = new ASCIIEncoding();
            byte[] buffer = encoder.GetBytes(strMessage + "\r\n");

            clientStream.Write(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
            clientStream.Flush();
        }

        private String Read()
        {
            byte[] messageBytes = new byte[8192];
            int bytesRead = 0;
            NetworkStream clientStream = _client.GetStream();
            ASCIIEncoding encoder = new ASCIIEncoding();
            bytesRead = clientStream.Read(messageBytes, 0, 8192);
            string strMessage = encoder.GetString(messageBytes, 0, bytesRead);
            return strMessage;
        }

Here is the client application which to make requests to the server
class MailProcessing
    {
        public void MailRequests()
        {
            SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient("localhost", 333);
            MailMessage msg = new MailMessage();

            msg.From = new MailAddress("test@gmail.com", "Test");
            msg.To.Add(new MailAddress("test1@gmail.com", "Test1"));

            msg.Subject = "This is the subject";
            msg.Body = "This is the body";

            try
            {
                smtp.Send(msg);//Handles all messages in the protocol
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
            }
            smtp.Dispose();//sends a Quit message
            Console.ReadLine();
        }
    }

Is that possible to add the authentication or the credentials on server side TcpListener class to listen requests only from authenticated clients.
And if its possible the how we can make call to authenticated service call from client application?


Kei Kamara's goal in the 68th minute gave the visiting Vancouver Whitecaps a 3-2 comeback win over the San Jose Earthquakes in Major League Soccer action Saturday night.
The Earthquakes held a 2-0 lead after the first half, but the Whitecaps scored three unanswered goals in the final 45 minutes. Kamara broke a 2-2 tie when, unmarked, he put in a pass from Yordy Reyna during a quick counterattack. Defender Aaron Maund started the play by lobbing a long pass to Reyna.
The Whitecaps (10-9-7, 37 points) matched the Portland Timbers for the sixth and final playoff spot in the Western Conference standings, though Portland has played three less games.
Vancouver extended its unbeaten streak to five games. The Caps also posted their first-ever MLS win in San Jose.
The Earthquakes (3-14-8, 17 points) extended their home winless streak to 11 games. They have not won at Avaya Stadium since the season's opening weekend in March.
Both Kamara and Reyna had a goal and an assist for the Whitecaps, while Cristian Techera also tallied for the victors.
Jahmir Hyka and Magnus Eriksson scored for the Earthquakes.
Hyka opened the scoring only seven minutes into the game as he chested down a Vancouver clearing attempt and beat diving Whitecaps goalkeeper Stefan Marinovic with a shot inside the left post.
Eriksson put the ball in the same place, again just outside of the Caps goalkeeper's reach, on a penalty kick in the 18th minute. The spot kick was awarded after a video review determined that Vancouver defender Marcel de Jong took down striker Danny Hoesen slightly inside the Whitecaps' penalty area.
Early in the second half, Vancouver coach Carl Robinson made some substitutions to fire up his club, and they had the desired effect. Reyna cut Vancouver's deficit in the 59th minute, putting a free kick through a wall and in off goalkeeper Andrew Tarbell's hands. Techera drew the Caps even in the 61st minute as he ran to a lead ball from Kamara, cut inside a San Jose defender and put a shot inside the far post.


I know this is a morbid topic, but there was a brief discussion on Zahlungspraxis this morning about an agency owner who owed a translator money – and had for the past 3 years (which I hope would never happen to me. I would be sending reminders 14 days after the bill was overdue…). It seems this person was a 1-woman show, which happens a lot in the translation industry. Someone wrote in and stated that the person in question had passed away in September 2008 and chances were slim that any creditors would receive payment from the estate.
This got me to thinking about death – and specifically about estate planning and managing your online profiles. Have you given any thought to what might happen if you were to suddenly pass away? I have given this some thought recently. It has nothing to do with the fact that I turned 40 over weekend. I started last year when my grandmother passed away and my immediate family members started talking about their wishes for their funerals, burial plans, etc. I now have a notarized Living Will and Medical Power of Attorney for my personal side of things, but what about my business and online contacts? Would your family and/or executor know where to find the bills that need to be paid?
Right now I have two outstanding invoices for work I subcontracted in the last month. If something were to happen to me I would hope my executor would find the bills and pay them, but I realized I haven't shown her how my system works. I need to have her over and show her where to find the information she will need (and how to use my money management software). Do you have an executor? Do they know where to find your legal documents and access your financial accounts? Also, something that is never discussed by estate planners but is very important in our field: do they know who to inform if you pass away unexpectedly? Do they know how to access your e-mail and notify the various forums in which you are active?
You might want to consider asking a colleague you trust to be your "online executor." That person should have the password to your e-mail accounts so they can set up an autoresponder to notify your colleagues and clients of your untimely death. If you have a blog and/or website, it isn't a bad idea to give the password(s) to that person as well so that they can log on and post the bad news – and eventually shut the sites down.
Just a little food for thought. Take a few minutes this week and jot down who might need to be notified if you were in a car accident or something. Your friends and family will be very grateful you took the time to do this. It is a very stressful time and careful preparation makes things a lot easier for your loved ones.
Good idea. I don't subcontract much, so I'm less worried about unpaid bills. But I have arranged to have my backup files destroyed in case of my death.
I've thought about this a lot lately as 2 good friends around my age (now 30) have now passed away in different but equally tragic circumstances. Their families found it particularly difficult, I think, to contact friends (many of whom lived overseas and/or they'd never met) and to get word out about services, etc. in a respectful and appropriate way when they only had emails and/or Facebook profiles to work from, especially where they weren't especially familiar with these forms of online communication themselves.
Of course, I couldn't help but think how my family and friends would cope in similiar circumstances, and likewise, how I would cope in the reverse. Death may be morbid, but it's life. I think it definitely makes sense to make arrangements like the ones you suggest above, Jill.
Strangely enough, I've never really worried too much about the business side of things. I have considered what would happen if something happened to me as a deadline approached, for example, and how would the client know and get the job back… but to be honest, I've come to the conclusion that if things were so bad I couldn't contact the client myself, then work would probably be the last thing on my or my family's mind and the client would just have to cope with re-assigning it!! (just like if I worked in-house somewhere, really)! 😀 I definitely need to make more formal arrangements more generally though.
Speaking of deadlines, I'd better get back to it… I'm smashing all my current records for translation volume this fortnight – I'll definitely need a holiday once I've finished!
I definitely think that the "online executor" is an excellent idea. My husband doesn't have signing power on my business account but he knows where all of the passwords are. So I always tell him, "If something awful happens to me, first you withdraw all of the money from the business account, then you cry" 🙂 .
You're right, this a morbid topic. Still, it's one we all need to consider. I'm glad you posted this. I have a will and an executor, but it hadn't thought of an online an executor. Brilliant. I'm tossing that in.

'The Russian Five': NBC Sports Sets TV Premiere For Docu On First Russians To Play Together In NHL

EXCLUSIVE: NBC Sports has acquired and set a premiere date for The Russian Five, a feature documentary about the first five Russians to play hockey together in the NHL. The film will air on November 6, following NBCSN's Wednesday Night Hockey game between the Detroit Red Wings and New York Rangers.

The Russian Five tells the story of how Sergei Fedorov, Slava Fetisov, Vladimir Konstatinov, Slava Kozlov and Igor Larionov defected and then helped transform the Red Wings from perennial losers to back-to-back Stanley Cup Champions. Toward the end of the Cold War in the late '80s, the Red Wings hatched an audacious plan to draft the best Soviet players from behind the Iron Curtain and help them defect to Detroit. The team snuck them out under cover of night and whisking them to the Motor City where they won the fans' hearts and changed the way hockey is played in North America forever.

Under legendary coach Scotty Bowman, the Red Wings would win the Stanley Cup in 1996-7 and 1997-98. The pic features home videos, vintage game footage and interviews with several Hockey Hall of Famers.

"As the home of hockey in the U.S., we are always looking for ways to further serve the sport's passionate fan base," said Michael Perman, VP Programming at NBC Sports. "The Russian Five is a perfect fit, as it documents the unconventional and dramatic way one of NHL's most-memorable dynasties was built. Hockey fans will love this film."
Gold Star released the film theatrically in March, with co-distributors by Lucky Hat Entertainment and Muse Production House. It grossed nearly a half-million dollars.
The Russian Five — which has a 100% fresh score on Rotten Tomatoes — is directed by Joshua Riehl, executive produced by Daniel Milstein, and produced by Jenny Feterovich, Steve Bannatyne and Jason Wehling.
"The Russian Five left a lasting legacy on the game of hockey," Riehl said, "and this documentary dives into not only what they accomplished on the ice to bring the Stanley Cup back to Detroit but also the human side of the story including their incredible journey from the Soviet Union to Detroit that required cloak-and-dagger efforts worthy of your favorite Cold War spy novel.".

Bertram Christian von Hoinckhusen (* 6. Juli 1651 in Ratzeburg; † 14. Dezember 1722 in Güstrow) war ein deutscher Jurist, Richter und Kartograph.

Leben
Hoinckhusen besuchte 1665 das Katharineum zu Lübeck und ab 1670 die Jesuitenschule zu Hildesheim. Er studierte Rechtswissenschaften und Mathematik ab 1673 an der Universität Rostock, ab 1676 an der Universität Leipzig, wo er am 6. Dezember 1677 disputierte. Die Widmung der Disputation an Herzog Christian Ludwig I. von Mecklenburg brachte ihm von diesem die Zusage einer Anstellung im mecklenburgischen Staatsdienst ein. 1678 besuchte er die Universität Leiden und reiste 1679 von dort nach England. Danach besuchte er die Universität Bourges, um anschließend bei Reichskammergericht in Speyer erste praktische Erfahrungen zu sammeln. 1684 kehrte er nach Mecklenburg zurück und wurde 1685 Rechtsreferendar an der Justizkanzlei in Schwerin. Hier wurde 1691 Assessor und 1707 Vizepräsident des mecklenburgischen Land- und Hofgerichts in Parchim, welches 1708 nach Güstrow verlegt wurde. 1716 wurde Hoinckhusen nobilitiert.

Ergebnis seiner nebenbei betriebenen mathematische Studien über einen Zeitraum von 35 Jahren ist die erste Landkarte von Mecklenburg. Sie besteht aus einer Generalkarte und 22 Spezialkarten (die die einzelnen Ämter Mecklenburgs enthalten). Das Kartenwerk Hoinckhusens befindet sich heute im Landeshauptarchiv Schwerin. Sein statistisch-topographisches Verzeichniß der Herzogthümer war bei seinem Tod weitgehend vollendet, aber nicht vollständig fertiggestellt.

Sein Sohn Johann Heinrich von Hoinckhusen (1694–1746) war ein mecklenburgischer Genealoge und Heraldiker, dessen Arbeiten nach seinem frühen Tod von Conrad Lüder von Pentz fortgesetzt wurden.

ASUS And HTC To Launch Some Form Of Wearable This Year
By Justin Diaz April 30, 2014, 1:44pm
With yesterdays announcement from Acer that they will be planning to bring consumers the Liquid Leap smartband/fitness tracker wearable, it shines a little focus light back onto other OEMs from the region like HTC and ASUS on whether they plan to enter the wearables market soon as well. With sales on smartphones and tablets decreasing a little bit, the focus this year seems to be more heavy on the wearables side of things when it comes to our electronic devices. While plenty of other major manufacturers have already announced their plans for smartwatches or some other kind of wearable device, HTC and ASUS have yet to elaborate too in depth on their plans. Even smaller OEMs like Huawei have already announced their plan of attack for the wearables market.
While ASUS has been fairly mum about what they'll be offering in the wearables space, they have let us in on the fact that they absolutely will be releasing a smartwatch later this year to compete with all the others. There weren't many details about the watch, and while we can hope and suspect that it might run Android Wear as the backbone of the software, we have no idea as it was never stated by ASUS if that was the case. We know a couple key details, like ASUS planning to make the smartwatch very heavy on gesture and voice controlled actions as opposed to a strong focus on touch based control and navigation of the interface. They also stated that they want to deliver a smartwatch that is chocked full of features, and that they want to deliver a smartwatch like none other compared to what's already out or will be out before ASUS drops their product. Unfortunately that is all they have said, and we have no real idea of timing or pricing for the device in question. Not even a name. Still, ASUS usually makes stellar products, so we're looking forward to anything else they have to tell us when they're ready to share more information.
HTC seems to be putting a lot of focus on their smartphones, and while there have been a few rumors floating around that HTC would in fact be bringing us a smartwatch or a wearable of some kind this year, they haven't really opened up about anything. If they want to stay competitive though, they definitely need to release a wearable device of some kind, heck even a new tablet that catches everyone's eye. If anyone could produce a stellar looking smartwatch that would function to near perfection, we'd think it would be HTC as they have great attention to detail. Hopefully we'll learn of something more soon on what both HTC and ASUS plans are for devices in this particular market.

JBL Is Discounting Speakers, Headphones & More By 70% In Its "Christmas In July" Sale


she clearly just didn't have the leg or arm strength to stand up and exit. She wasn't injured, per se, but she was definitely weak. So weak that she was struggling with a basic function of her day.
It got me thinking about how many basic functions of our day would she, or many folks, have a hard time doing. Getting in or out of bed takes over-all body strength to gently get up or lie down. Same goes for the toilet, right? Toilets are low! What about simply sitting down on a couch or dining chair? Or how about a bathtub? I remember when my mom and her husband bought a new home and we took our young children for a weekend visit. After dinner, it was bath time. To my surprise, there was no bathtub! I asked why and she said, "Well, since we're getting older (at this time late 60's in age), we don't think that we can get in and out of a tub, so we decided to tear it out and build a walk in shower." Talk about taking the other road and giving in to the supposed old age myth.
There are too many basic functions of everyone's day that I couldn't possibly list them all. I am sure you have your own set of basic functions that you can relate to. Grandkids, young children who want to play, heavy doors at the store, heavy grocery bags….the list is endless, really.
What are we going to do? Be like my mom and her husband and just "accept" that this is the way it is when you grow older? Please don't do that. That is just plain sad and not the way it has to be. We have all been told again and again that strength training (lifting weights) is the "fountain of youth." Guess what? It's TRUE! As we age, our bones are losing their strength, just as our muscles are. If I told you that you alone could change that by simply spending less than a few hours a week, would you take me up on it? Well, it's absolutely true and you simply need to take control of the aging process, rather than let it control you! Strength training not only promotes calcium density in your bones, but it also strengthens the muscles, joints, and ligaments that hold up those bones!
This is who we speak to quite often at our gyms, the baby boomer coming in to inquire, maybe for the very first time, scared to death, knows he/she needs to but doesn't think he/she can….etc. It's never too late to create change!
Taking time to maintain quality of life and making sure that you can handle the basic functions of your day seem like a great plan. A much better plan than planning on getting weak and unable to do the things that you enjoy, like taking a bath! Today is a whole new day and you alone have the power to change your body to prevent or turn back the clock on weakness that is NOT inevitable!


It seems like it's been forever since the Tampa Bay Bucs won a video-game shootout against the New Orleans Saints, 48-40, in the regular-season opener.
After Netflix surprised — and saddened — fans with the cancellation of "Daredevil" last week, The Man Without Fear himself spoke about the decision. "A lot of us really expected to keep going, and I certainly did," Charlie Cox told Entertainment Weekly. "The truth is, I felt like we had a lot of stories to tell, and although I understand [the cancellation], I'm very saddened by that." The series was the first to premiere back in 2015 under the much-ballyhooed (at the time) pact between Netflix and Marvel, when the streamer was just getting into original programming. But as Netflix is becoming more focused on original programming they produce themselves, the streamer gave the Marvel TV series the axe, just over a month after the show's well-received third season premiered. The move came shortly after Netflix moved to cancel two other Marvel series in its lineup, "Iron Fist" and "Luke Cage." However, the streamer seemed to hint that it wasn't quite done with The Man Without Fear: "While the series on Netflix has ended, the three existing seasons will remain on the service for years to come, while the Daredevil character will live on in future projects for Marvel," a Netflix spokesperson said.

Here come the prohibitionists again
Prostitution prohibitionist Melissa Farley of San Francisco is back in the news, hopping on the bandwagon of those who want to shut down brothels in Nye and Lyon counties.
"In order to better understand the impact of Nevada legal prostitution on college-aged men and on the community, University of Nevada, Reno Professor Mary Stewart, Kyle Smith and I did some research on UNR students' attitudes toward prostitution, women and rape," she wrote in a Reno Gazette Journal essay. "We asked students at other U.S. universities the same questions and then compared them. We found out that more often than other U.S. students, the Reno students were active sex trade consumers. They went to strip clubs more often, and they went to both legal and illegal brothels more often. In contrast to students from other parts of the United States where prostitution is illegal, the UNR students were more accepting of sexual violence against not just women in prostitution but against non-prostituting women as well. They tended to think it was impossible to rape a prostitute, which is one reason it's so dangerous for the women in the brothels. The young men at UNR also believed the myth that legal prostitution protects non-prostitutes from rape. In fact, the opposite is true: Nevada's rape rates are higher than the U.S. average, and Reno's rape rate is much higher than most other U.S. cities. Nevada has been named one of the most dangerous states in the U.S., and Reno cited as having a high rate of sexual assault."
Read that closely. Take note that Farley makes quite a leap between sentence seven and sentence eight. She seems to be drawing cause-and-effect between legal, small county prostitution and Nevada's rape rate and other dangers in the state's lifestyle. But note also that she offers no evidence for this linkage.
Farley may not be familiar enough with Nevada to know that this state has always been one of the most dangerous states. It appeared on the cover of Colliers magazine in that role in 1955—before brothel prostitution was legal—and on the front page of the New York Times in 2001. There are innumerable indices—teen pregnancy, prenatal care, voter turnout, suicide by senior citizens, suicide generally, tobacco use, tobacco-related death, alcohol- and drug-related death, firearms death, children's health, health generally, health insurance coverage, homicide against women, rate of working people in poverty, toxic releases, child immunizations—that put Nevada at the wrong end of national lists. Brothels cannot cause them all, and evidence is needed to show they cause any of them.
Nevadans are likely more aware of our state's poor quality of life than most, but prostitution prohibition is not a remedy. Our problems do not have easy answers. It may increase the danger for women who go from brothel to street. Prostitution scholar Ellen Pillard of Reno once told Congressional Quarterly, "We ought to license [the women] because the current situation is like licensing pimps." That, at least, is a remedy that does not involve prohibition.
As alcohol and drug prohibition have shown us, prohibition is not the answer to the disapproval of morals cops to activities that a substantial portion of the public want. Rather, it usually leads to the spread of the alleged evil.

Q: Find out when user followed an account - rtweet I'm curious to see when accounts started following me on Twitter (and when I started following accounts). It'd be interesting to see my user activity related to the types of accounts I follow, as well as maps of my followers/followings over time + season.
I've tried getting followers and lookup users in the following manner:
followers <- get_followers("twitterhandlehere", n = 50)
followers_data <- lookup_users(followers$user_id)

Followers_data is a data frame with user info including profile picture, bio, and when the user's account was created, but no where in there does it indicate when the relationship started, as far as I can tell.
Nor does this function seem to indicate the date in which the follow/following started:
lookup_friendship("BarackObama", "MyUsername")

It appears the API didn't support this functionality in the past, and I understand I can stream this data in the future - but is there any way to salvage specificity in the past data?

A: No, this is not available in the API. You would have to have been regularly polling the friends and followers endpoints to record those changes. You cannot discover it from the API at a specific point in time, you'd have to make the record of follower list changes youself.


Over the past decade, information culture and technologies of identification have become part of popular discourse, with regimes across the world rolling out large modernisation projects aimed at populations and existing structures of governance.

The Radar Museum offers a fascinating glimpse into the role of radar in major global military events and its impact on political history.
The world's longest continuously operating radar site, the museum has a number of exhibition rooms and interactive displays, from the Air Intercept room to reconnaissance, communications and engineering. You can climb inside the cockpits of military aircraft, learn about the history of the site and its role in the Second World War and the Cold War.
If you love flying history, the City of Norwich Aviation Museum at Horsham St Faith, has a large number of display aircraft, from Vulcans and Jaguars to Hawkers and Helicopters.
The Hippodrome Circus, tucked behind Great Yarmouth's seafront, is Britain's only surviving total circus building and this historic venue is as much a part of the experience as the show itself.
It was built in 1903 by legendary showman George Gilbert and behind the scenes it has its own museum packed with 100 years of circus history. It includes a collection of colourful props and memorabilia, vintage lighting and technology, posters, signs and costumes from shows throughout the decades, old photographs and contemporary circus artwork. You can visit the museum after every performance.
Caister Castle is home to one of the largest private collections of vehicles in Britain – from vintage, classic and sports cars to motorbikes and several rarities.
Among its collection is an 1893 Panhard et Levassor, the first Ford Fiesta off the production line and Jim Clark's Lotus. It also has a display of bicycles, horse drawn vehicles and pedal cars. The museum is in the grounds of the 15th century castle, built by Sir John Fastolf. If you love vintage vehicles, visit the Norfolk Motorcycle Museum, next to North Walsham train station. It has an extraordinary collection of more than 80 motorbikes from the 1920s to the 1960s.
After huge fundraising efforts to save her, the Lydia Eva is now a floating maritime museum, offering visitors the chance to experience life on a traditional steam drifter.
Along with the Mincarlo, which is moored in Lowestoft, the ship is rich in history. Built in 1930, it is the world's last surviving steam-powered herring drifter. After nine years fishing at sea, the Lydia Eva was used in military operations until she was finally laid up in 1969. The Lydia Eva Charitable Trust was formed in 1989 to restore both ships for future generations.
If you love hearing seafearing tales, don't miss the Henry Blogg Museum in Cromer, celebrating the life of the heroic Henry Blogg, the most decorated lifeboatman in RNLI history.
One of England's smallest museums is the Mundesley Maritime Museum, perched on the cliff top in the coastguard's tower and telling the history of the coastal community.
This year marks the 50th anniversary since the broadcast of the first episode of iconic wartime sitcom Dad's Army – so why not visit the Dad's Army Museum in Thetford, the town where a lot of the show was filmed? Do a guided tour of location hotspots, see collections of props and memorabilia, discover behind the scenes secrets and visit the authentic 1940s Marigold Tea Rooms.
Up the road, Bressingham Steam and Gardens has been the official home of the Dad's Army Appreciation Society's collection since 2000. The exhibition includes a recreation of various scenes from Walmington-on-Sea, the fictional home to Captain Mainwaring and his men, and some of old vehicles used.
Surely one of the prettiest and most charming museums in Norfolk, Bishop Bonner's Cottage charts the local history of the town and one of its most famous clergy.
This beautiful, timber-framed, thatched building dating back to 1502, survived the great town fires of 1581 and 1679 and the bombs dropped during the Zeppelin raid of 1915. Its sloping ceilings, tiny rooms, twisting staircase and wooden beams instantly take you back through centuries of living history.
The Fakenham Museum of Gas and Local History would be worth visiting for the name alone. Before natural gas was piped ashore, gas to fuel homes and industry was made by heating coal. In the 19th and early 20th century towns across the country had their own gas works, but today Fakenham's is the only one left. See gas-making machinery, the gas holder, gas lamps, gas meters, gas stoves and more. And it's not just about the gas. There are exhibitions highlighting Fakenham's printing industry and wartime stories too.
The museum, run entirely by volunteers, opens for the 2018 season on Thursday, May 17, 10am-12.30pm – and then again from 7-9.30pm, for the Museums at Night festival when a street gaslamp will be lit for an atmospheric recital of Robert Louis Stevenson's poem The Lamplighter.
Small but perfectly formed, like many of its beautiful exhibits, the Shell Museum at Glandford, near Holt, is the oldest purpose-built museum in Norfolk. Its exquisite jewel of a building is set close to a ford through the pretty river Glaven, and houses an impressive seashell collection plus fossils, local archaeological finds and a world-famous embroidery by a fisherman artist.
Open Tuesday to Saturday, plus Bank Holiday Mondays, until the end of October.
Children left lessons in a protest against teachers being dismissed – and didn't return for more than 25 years. On the village green at Burston, near Diss, is a museum dedicated to the longest strike in British history. An alternative school was set up, by the sacked teachers, and this is now the Burston Strike School Museum. It tells the story, in photographs, posters and displays, of how Tom and Annie Higdon championed the education of the poorest rural children and clashed with local landowners and politicians.
The mighty steam engine which once raised Tower Bridge to allow ships through is still regularly fired up in a tiny south Norfolk village. The engine is a centrepiece of the Forncett Industrial Steam Museum, run by retired doctor Rowan Francis in the garden of his home at Forncett St Mary, near Long Stratton. He inherited his fascination with steam from his father, an engineer who built railways at Wells harbour and from Walsingham to Wells. The first of his collection of decommissioned static steam engines was rescued from a Victorian vinegar works in London and the museum now includes restored engines which once powered laundries, waterworks, lace factories and breweries.
Once a month from spring to autumn the engines are powered up for a glorious day of pounding, hissing and whirring.
The first Steam Up Sunday of the year is on May 6.
The collection is also open every Wednesday and Sunday.
Ring a firebell, try on a helmet and see a fire pump once pulled by horses at the Stalham Firehouse Museum. Stalham had one of the first organised fire brigades in Britain, from 1833, and its original fire station, in the grounds of the parish church, is now a museum. Volunteers help visitors discover a fascinating history of fire-fighting in and around Stalham. Open Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays until the end of September. Admission free but donations appreciated.
Experts who once worked in the industry operate the printing presses and type-setting machines in the John Jarrold Printing Museum. It opens just one morning a week for volunteers to show off an impressive collection of print-related exhibits from a building alongside St James Mill, Whitefriars, Norwich, which was build as a textile mill in the early 19th century and once housed the huge Jarrold printworks.
Norfolk Museums Service runs 10 museums across the county which house a wide range of exhibits reflecting local, national and international social, natural and political history.

Thirteen Iranian soldiers were killed in a battle with Islamist militants over a village near the Syrian city of Aleppo, Tehran said on Saturday, in one of Iran's biggest single-day losses since it sent forces to support President Bashar al-Assad.


Italians are a passionate bunch in general and their passion for life can be triggered on a dime. But then they also seem to make up with one another right away. I have seen them yelling and screaming at each other, faces reddened, spittle flying, arms waving and then shake hands and walk away five minutes later. Given this passionate culture, I was eager to attend a football match because one thing that Italians are very passionate about is football, the most popular game in the world. You know, what we Americans call soccer.
A few weeks ago we decided to support our local football team and we went to watch Parma play against Inter Milan. I was a tad nervous because my husband had warned me that when Parma scores the crowd goes a little crazy - their passions are unfurled with yelling, screaming, shoving, running up and down the stands. Joe was actually knocked over at the last game he went to. He was not hurt, but that knowledge made me anxious as neither my daughter, nor I, do well in crowds. I was also anxious because Inter Milan was ranked fifth and Parma was ranked sixth, so tensions were indeed high. But our time here is coming to a close and my desire to experience Italy to its fullest won out over my fear. We donned our blue and yellow and headed out to the stadium.
Upon arriving, I noticed that there is no alcohol allowed at an Italian soccer game. Now, bear in mind that Italy is a place where one can find a full bar just about everywhere - the park, the movie theater, the shopping mall, the gym. But not at a football stadium. I have to say, that I support this practice. I think it is a wise idea to prohibit alcohol at sporting events where passion and loyalties are on overdrive. One of my dear friends in California is a sweet, gentle guy unless you encounter him at the UCLA/USC football game. Then, he is a rabid dog. Give him some beer at the UCLA/USC game and he is a rabid bear. It may be a good thing for America to follow the Italian example in this case.
Something else that I noticed was that even stone cold sober, Italian fans are INTENSE about, and loyal to, their football team. One of our Italian friends welcomed his second daughter the morning of the game that we attended, but he still made it to the match that afternoon! The intense loyalty that they feel for their team is most often manifested by hurling insults at the other team. Through the entire game, Parma fans were chanting "Inter, Inter, vanfanculo, vafanculo!" which translates as "Inter, Inter, F^%k you! F^%k you!" Imagine half of a stadium chanting "F^%k you!" Here were some of the antics I was hoping to experience.
"♫ pezzo di merda. Zanetti, pezzo di merda. ♪♪ peeeezzzzzo di merdaaa, ♫ Zanetti, pezzo di merda." Again, imagine a huge crowd all swearing together in song. Fascinating and entertaining stuff, I tell you.
The most perplexing expression of loyalty for me, however, was the yelling of "cinese vai via!" or "non ci sono cinese in Italia!" This translates as "Chinese go away" and "There are no Chinese in Italy." As factually incorrect, and as racially insensitive as these comments were, the funny thing to me is that they were yelling these insults at Inter Milan player Yuto Nagatomo . . . who is Japanese. I swear I saw Nagatomo looking around for the mysterious Chinese guy once or twice.
The final thing that I noticed about Italian football games is that the previously blogged about colpo d'aria - the dreaded hit of air that Italians feel must be avoided at all times and at all costs for fear of ending up in the hospital - seems to have a waiver for football matches.
During our game, for example, the weather was rainy and cold and yet scores of fans were without umbrellas or rain gear. And quite a few were without shirts. In the rain! There they were, standing in the freezing rain, getting hit by air for 2+ hours and not a one seemed to be concerned that they were going to end up in the hospital. Once again, questions arise in my American mind about the colpo d'aria malady.
Alas, for Parma fans, despite their best insults and choral talent, Inter Milan won. Parma didn't score a single goal so I didn't get to see the post score craze of happy fans that I craved. And despite the racist epithets, Nagatomo dominated the field. But, you know what they say . . . karma is a Japanese Inter Milan player.
