A recent New York Times article about the Functional Fitness Movement, "Fitness Playgrounds Grow as Machines Go" by Courtney Rubin, has me fuming. My core mission has long been to promote safe, efficient exercise, and this new fad is neither efficient nor safe.
The premise of their version of 'Functional Fitness' is that we need to train and strengthen our bodies in ways that mimic the activities of our hunting and gathering predecessors in order to prepare us for the physical challenges of daily life. As the article's title suggests, functional training is offered at jungle-gym-type, adult playgrounds, which are noticeably absent of expensive exercise machines.
Though the concept may seem plausible, the article is riddled with infelicitous comments such as machines are inadequate for preparing people for everyday life.
Dating back to Ancient Roman times, true functional training had been, and continues to be, an important prescription in physical and occupational therapy. As an example, if someone sustains an injury, then functional training would help the patient to regain full range of motion and use of their injured body part. The original meaning of functional training has been hi-jacked by the fitness industry and crafted into a dangerous fad.
Though I recognize business decisions designed to improve profitability, ethics should dictate that these profit motivated decisions not raise the risk of injury.
In the article, Adam Campbell, fitness director for the Men's Health brand, comments "Functional fitness is far more bang for your buck, because it works multiple muscles simultaneously, providing better overall strength and mobility, and a higher calorie burn." The article goes on to suggest that exercise machines resemble some form of ancient torture and suggests that balancing on a medicine ball, while swinging heavy bags or climbing a wall more closely represents our daily lifestyles, and as such, is really the kind of exercise needed. Maybe more people are preparing for a life as circus performers than I thought. Who knew?
My greatest concern is the blatant compromise of safety! Their form of 'Functional' training has the potential to cause both short and long-term injuries. A pulled muscle or pinched nerve is an immediate risk, but the unnecessary wear and tear on joints can cause problems that will haunt you in later years. The article suggests that machines are not natural. I wonder how many of us include "hefting sandbags and shaking 25-pound ropes" as a natural part of our daily routine.
The stated goal of 'Functional Training' is to improve strength. Since strength comes from muscles, to improve strength you should build muscle. I do not mean bulking up into The Hulk. Done properly, weight-bearing workouts can achieve the "lean, athletic as opposed to highly muscular," personal appearance that Mr. Campbell speaks about. You can bulk up if your gene pool permits, but bulk is otherwise not a natural outcome of machine based exercises. Perpetuating that fear is just a marketing gimmick.
People do need to learn how to lift weight safely. One day you might have the privilege of picking up a child on a regular basis, and learning to lift properly will help you avoid injuring your back. You also need strength to perform the task, but equally important is the proper lifting technique. Learning how to bend, twist, and lift safely is a different course from a program to build strength, and does not require on-going training. Once proper technique has been learned, building strength is a separate activity, and should be designed and performed to avoid putting your joints or spine at risk. If you want to get stronger, you must load the right muscles with the right amount of resistance to engage enough muscle fibers.
The risk of injury is more likely to occur in these new functional gym environments. Distractions are significant obstacles to ensuring safety. Checking out the guy on the rock-climbing wall, the noise, your exhausted state, or worrying about how you look, all while standing on an uneven surface lifting a heavy weight and turning your body can result in serious injury. You are almost guaranteed to be leaving the gym with a complimentary ice pack to ease the pain of a torn or strained muscle, or a pinched nerve.
The exercises promoted in these new 'Functional Training' gyms put your spine at substantial risk as you lift and shift weights simultaneously while the body is in exaggerated motion.
"The bones and muscles of the spine are not suited for top-heavy loads."1 If you look at any picture of the spine, you will notice that the bones get smaller the higher up they go. Every manual laborer knows to lift with their legs not their back, and to keep the spine steady and protected.
Since we rely on our spine for range of motion, these bones are not connected in the same way as our joints. Equally as noticeable is that we require more range of motion where the bones are smaller, such as the neck supporting your head. Your spine is structured to support more weight at the base then at the top, and exercising against the natural order is a recipe for injury.
Slow-motion weight training, such as the Power-of-10 protocol, performed on weight machines, is designed to keep the spine from experiencing misplaced weight loads and torque that could result in injury.
These new gyms and their 'Functional Training' are dangerously off base in their attempt to simultaneously engage both the primary mover muscles that move limbs with the deep muscles that stabilize joints. Even worse is engaging the primary muscles on surfaces that are unstable. This is how most common injuries occur. And the injuries usually affect the deeper, stabilizer muscles. Back spasms are more likely than a glute strain; or rotator cuff injury rather than deltoid; or groin pulls rather than the quadriceps; and therefore jeopardizing long-term joint health. Ouch!
Please, for your safety, keep your movement exercises separate from your strength training exercises. If you want to exercise for movement try Tai Chi. To build strength, employ safe, efficient exercise that stabilizes the spine and is designed to protect the deep muscles.

Q: how to print all match using grep I have a txt file that has only information about location (location.txt)
Another large txt file (all.txt) has a lot of information like id , and a location.txt is subset of all.txt ( some records common in both )
I want to search the location.txt in another file with grep (all.txt)
and print all common records ( but all information like all.txt )
I try to grep by :
grep -f location.txt all.txt

the problem grep just give me the last location not all locations
how can I print all location?

A: I'm assuming you mean to use one of the files as a set of patterns for grep. If this is the case, you seem to be looking for a way to print all lines in one file not found in the other and this is what you want:
grep -vFf file_with_patterns other_file

Explanation
-F means to interpret the pattern(s) literally, giving no particular meaning to regex metacharacters (like * and +, for example)
-f means read regex patterns from the file named as argument (file_with_patterns in this case).

Today I made my way to the not so sleepy town of Sleepy Hollow, NY for the Sleepy Hollow 10k put on by the Rivertown Runners.
We had a lovely start time of 9:30 am and perfect weather. The course has promised was challenging but a lot of fun. If anyone was worried about me not getting enough hill work in prior to the marathon, worry no more.
I think there were somewhere between 600-800 runners which made this the perfect race for the course and all of the volunteers were really nice. After hearing about the debacles that the Rock-n-Roll 10k in Prospect Park had I am so glad that I stayed local and supported a great local running club.
If you have never gone running in this part of Westchester County, NY I highly recommend that you make your way up here and go for a run. It's a short ride on Metro-North and with the fall foliage nearing it's peak you'll have some great views.
But back to the race itself. Since this was part of my overall 12 mile long run today, I wasn't going to push myself too much. Plus I forgot my Garmin which made figuring out the correct distance a little tricky with my MapMyRun App. Thankfully, I have a pretty good sense of what my normal pace is so I was able to get through the course without too much of a problem and no feeling exhausted at the end.
This is Sleepy Hollow, so expect hills — lots of them. But with an uphill there is a downhill. Yay! We also got to see some skeletons along the course and a not so funny graveyard for us slower runners.
Did I mention the scenic course? Well, there is the awesome section where you are running near the Hudson River and what a lovely treat that is!
This really was an amazing race, that gave me a great workout and an enjoyable time. This will definitely be on my calendar for next year!

The entire American media apparatus bought into the drug war - which is an enormously damaging and costly undertaking for this country - and there wasn't enough critical reporting about it and that's why it's gotten out of hand.
David Talbot quotes
The entire economy, of course, is locked in a down cycle right now. Last time we weathered this was during another Bush presidency in '90. We were locked in it for a year and a half and everyone came out of it.
The only school that let me in was U.C. Santa Cruz, which is where I went. They didn't have a journalism program, so I took sociology, which is the closest thing to journalism.
There are not that many new media brands you can say that about nowadays.
They may be a little more high brow than we are.
When you're kept by a patron you don't have to duke it out in the media marketplace for dollars and for readers. In some ways that's a blessing because it takes a lot of pressure off you.
While I'm critical to the Bush presidency, it's been enormously beneficial for Salon because we're seen as kind of an aggressive watchdog on the Bush White House. Particularly since Florida, our readership hit a whole new level, and we held onto those readers.
You can crash on one set of rocks or the other set of rocks, and they crashed on the other set of rocks, which was probably being too little to be commercially viable.
A lot of my idealism was frustrated by the end of the '60s because of the way things went with the assassinations and the sense that the political establishment was so fixed in its ways you couldn't change anything.
After Watergate, which happened when I was in college, I became increasingly inspired by journalism as a way to change the world. It sounds corny, but to wake the public up, to serve a higher cause.

Pacific Electric car no. 5132 rumbles eastbound at Tujunga Wash on September 27, 1952. Learn more about this photo and its photographer Alan Weeks by clicking here.
PE 5132 is eastbound (technically inbound, note the front trolley pole is locked down). The streetcar is at Hollywood Park station, located about one-half mile west of North Hollywood station and depot. The streetcar has just transitioned from the single-track section along Chandler Boulevard and is entering the double-track section.
I never knew about this electic cars tracks going threw the Tujunga wash, what year is this?
Chandler Blvd.another private right of way. that could be used AGAIN!!!
This was shortly before the electric railway service was abandoned. What was probably the last passenger train through here was an excursion sponsored by what was then Orange Empire Trolley Museum in Oct. 1968. We had a photo stop near this location.

The Feminist Case Against Abortion: the pro-life roots of the women's movement
Serrin M. Foster January 07, 2015
Elizabeth Cady Stanton with Susan B. Anthony. (US public domain image)
Not all feminists support abortion. Properly defined, feminism is a philosophy that embraces basic rights for all human beings without exception—without regard to race, religion, sex, size, age, location, disability or parentage. Feminism rejects the use of force to dominate, control or destroy anyone.
The organization Feminists for Life continues a 200-year-old tradition begun by Mary Wollstonecraft in England in 1792. Decrying the sexual exploitation of women in A Vindication of the Rights of Woman, Wollstonecraft also condemned those who would "either destroy the embryo in the womb or cast it off when born," saying: "Nature in everything deserves respect, and those who violate her laws seldom violate them with impunity."
Mary Wollstonecraft died from complications following the birth of her second baby girl, who was named Mary in her honor. Like her mother, the younger Mary would become a great writer, producing one of the greatest novels ever to address the dangers of violating nature—Frankenstein, by Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin Shelley.
Fifty years after Mary Wollstonecraft's book was published, Lucretia Mott and Elizabeth Cady Stanton traveled to England to fight for the abolition of slavery. Barred from speaking at the 1842 World Anti-Slavery Convention simply because they were women, Mott and Stanton determined to hold a convention advancing the rights of women.
At that time, American women could not vote or hold property. They could not control their own money, sit on a jury or even testify on their own behalf. Women's rights to assemble, speak freely, attend college and maintain child custody after divorce or spousal death were severely limited. Marital rape went unacknowledged. The early American feminists—facing conditions similar to those in developing countries today—were strongly opposed to abortion; despite their own struggles, they believed in the worth of all human lives.
Abortion was common in the 1800s. Sarah Norton, who with Susan B. Anthony successfully argued for women's admission to Cornell University, wrote in 1870:
Child murderers practice their profession without let or hindrance, and open infant butcheries unquestioned.... Perhaps there will come a day when...an unmarried mother will not be despised because of her motherhood...and when the right of the unborn to be born will not be denied or interfered with.
In 1868 Eleanor Kirk, a novelist turned activist, linked the need for women's rights with the need to protect the unborn. When a woman told her that suffrage was unnecessary because she and her husband were "one," Kirk asked what would become of her babies if her husband ceased to provide for them:
What will become of the babies—did you ask—and you? Can you not see that the idea is to educate women that they may be self-reliant, self-sustaining, self-respected? The wheel is a big one, and needs a strong push, and a push all together, giving to it an impulse that will keep it constantly revolving, and the first revolution must be Female Suffrage.
Without known exception, the early feminists condemned abortion in no uncertain terms. In the radical feminist newspaper The Revolution, the founder, Susan B. Anthony, and the co-editor, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, refused to publish advertisements for "Foeticides and Infanticides." Stanton, who in 1848 organized the first women's convention in Seneca Falls, N.Y., classified abortion as a form of "infanticide" and, referring to the "murder of children, either before or after birth," said, "We believe the cause of all these abuses lies in the degradation of women."
Early feminists argued that women who had abortions were responsible for their actions but that they resorted to abortion primarily because, within families and throughout society, they lacked autonomy, financial resources and emotional support. A passage in Susan B. Anthony's newspaper states:
Guilty? Yes, no matter what the motive, love of ease, or a desire to save from suffering the unborn innocent, the woman is awfully guilty who commits the deed. It will burden her conscience in life, it will burden her soul in death; but oh, thrice guilty is he who drove her to the desperation which impelled her to the crime!
Victoria Woodhull, the first woman to run for president (in 1872), concurred. In her own newspaper, Woodhull and Claflin's Weekly, Woodhull wrote: "The rights of children, then, as individuals, begin while they yet remain the foetus." Woodhull and her sister, Tennessee Claflin, declared, "Pregnancy is not a disease, but a beautiful office of nature."
Clearly, we have a wealth of evidence contradicting the lie that feminists must support abortion. Some who begrudgingly admit the early American feminists were anti-abortion have suggested that their stance arose from Victorian attitudes about sex. That is not true either. Elizabeth Cady Stanton shocked Victorian society by parading around in public visibly pregnant. She raised a flag to celebrate the birth of her son. Stanton celebrated womanhood. She was in-your-face about her ability to have children.
But like today's pro-life feminists, our feminist foremothers also recognized that women need not bear children to share in the celebration of womanhood. Susan B. Anthony was once complimented by a man who said that she "ought to have been a wife and mother." Anthony replied:
Sweeter even than to have had the joy of caring for children of my own has it been to me to help bring about a better state of things for mothers generally, so their unborn little ones could not be willed away from them.
In her later years, Anthony passed on the responsibility for women's rights to a new generation, just as we must prepare to do. At the turn of the century, one young woman, Alice Paul, assumed leadership. Paul fought tirelessly for passage of the 19th Amendment, which in 1920 finally guaranteed to American women the right to vote.
The Betrayal of Modern Women
Much later in life, Alice Paul was asked by a friend what she thought of linking abortion to women's rights. The author of the original Equal Rights Amendment called abortion "the ultimate exploitation of women." Yet what earlier feminists called a "disgusting and degrading crime" was, in the 1970s, lauded as the most fundamental right, without which all other rights are meaningless. So how did the second wave feminist movement come to embrace abortion?
Two of the male founders of the National Association to Repeal Abortion Laws were among the first to portray abortion as a "right" rather than an act of violence. Larry Lader promoted abortion as population control. His NARAL cofounder, Dr. Bernard Nathanson, saw a botched abortion in Chicago and reasoned that "legal" would mean "safer." Nathanson later became pro-life. But in the early 1970s, the men traveled the country advocating the repeal of what they believed to be antiquated abortion laws. After failing to convince legislators that anti-abortion laws were "archaic," Lader saw an opportunity. According to Nathanson, Lader approached leaders of the women's movement. He reasoned that if a woman wanted to be educated like a man, hired like a man and promoted like a man, women should not expect their employers to accommodate pregnancy.
Forty-two years after the Roe v. Wade decision legalizing abortion, many within the pro-life movement focus on the undeniable humanity of each unborn child, clearly visible through the millions of sonograms obtained by proud parents each year. But it is also a good time to evaluate the impact that Roe v. Wade attorney Sarah Weddington's pro-abortion arguments have had on women.
In 1973, Weddington exposed the discrimination and other injustices faced by pregnant women who are poor or in the workplace or school. But she did not demand that these injustices be remedied. Instead, she demanded for women the "right" to submit to these injustices by destroying their pregnancies. Weddington repeatedly said that women need "relief" from pregnancy, instead of arguing that women need relief from these injustices.
What if Weddington had used her legal acumen to challenge the system and address women's needs? Women are not suddenly stupid when they become pregnant. They can still read, write and think. But by accepting pregnancy discrimination in school and in the workplace, by accepting the widespread lack of support for pregnant women and parents—especially among the poor—Weddington and the Supreme Court betrayed women and undermined the support women need and deserve.
The Failing Report Card
Planned Parenthood is the largest provider of abortions in the United States. According to the Guttmacher Institute, their former research arm:
• Three out of four women who have abortions say that having a baby would interfere with work, school or the ability to care for a dependent.
• 69 percent are economically disadvantaged.
• 61 percent are already mothers.
• Women of color are disproportionately at risk of abortion.
• Half of all abortions are performed on women who have already had an abortion.
• 44 percent of all abortions are performed on college-age women.
All too often, the root causes underlying these statistics are shame and fear generated about pregnancy by the attitudes of parents, friends and the fathers of children. Fatherhood has been diminished. Children are disconnected from their fathers, who have rights as well as responsibilities. And millions of women have paid the price. Women, many impoverished because of the billions owed to mothers for child support, are struggling in school and the workplace without societal support. After all, when "it's her body, it's her choice," it's her problem.
For all these reasons and more, more than a million times a year in the United States, a woman lays her body down or swallows a bitter pill called "choice"—driven to abortion because of a lack of resources and support.
Abortion solves nothing. Almost four decades after Roe, we mourn the loss of 57 million American children that we will never meet. We will never know what they might have contributed to this world. But we must also remember the hundreds of women and teens who have lost their lives to legal but lethal abortion because they did not want to inconvenience us with their pregnancies.
We mourn with the parents of Holly Patterson, who died from sepsis after she took RU-486, and with the parents of Dawn Ravenell, the 13-year-old girl who never came home after she had an abortion without her parent's knowledge. We mourn with the husband of Karnamaya Mongar, a poor immigrant who died as a result of her abortion at the hands of the convicted murderer Kermit Gosnell. Where is the outrage from women's advocates?
Hard Cases, Exceptional Choices
Talking about abortion brings out raw emotions. Nothing is more divisive than talk about pregnancy and rape, and nothing challenges pro-life beliefs more than this heated issue. Just as we have challenged thinking about special-needs babies and their parents, we must help women who have conceived during rape and welcome children conceived in violence.
We must help people have the courage to look into the face of a child conceived during rape and say, "You didn't deserve the death penalty." The circumstances of one's conception do not determine a person's worth. These children should not be regarded as "exceptions." But their mothers should be recognized as "exceptional." And as advocates of life, peace and justice, we will never trade one form of violence for another.
Today we stand in solidarity with women coerced into abortion because they felt they had no choice. We stand with women who were vulnerable because they were young, or poor, or in schools or workplaces that would not accommodate their needs as mothers.
We stand in solidarity with women who have been betrayed by those they count on the most, with women who have underestimated their own strength, with women who have experienced abortion and are silent no more, with young men and women who mourn their missing siblings. We mourn with men who weren't given a choice or who contributed to an abortion that they now regret.
In all its forms, abortion has masked—rather than solved—the problems women face. Abortion is a failed experiment on women. Why celebrate failure?
Addressing Root Causes
For decades, abortion advocates have asked, "What about the woman?" And pro-lifers have answered, "What about the baby?" This does nothing to address the needs of women who are pregnant. We should start by addressing the needs of women—for family housing, child care, maternity coverage, for the ability to telecommute to school or work, to job-share, to make a living wage and to find practical resources.
As pro-life employers and educators, we must examine our own policies and practices in our own communities, workplaces, colleges and universities. With woman-centered problem solving, we can set the example for the nation and the world. We must ramp up efforts to systemically address the unmet needs of struggling parents, birthparents and victims of domestic violence and sexual assault.
Because 61 percent of abortions are performed on mothers who already have dependents, Feminists for Life is determined to help those facing tough economic times; FFL has published "Raising Kids on a Shoestring," a national directory filled with creative, frugal and free solutions for pregnant women, parents and advisors.
And Feminists for Life advocates unconditional support for women who lovingly place their babies into the arms of adoptive couples. We applaud birthmothers like the former FFL board chair Jessica O'Connor-Petts, who tells us that "adoption can be an empowering option for women."
We must focus our efforts on collegians who have never known a day without legal abortion. Forty-three percent of all abortions are performed on college-age women, women who will become our future leaders and educators in every field. For these reasons, Feminists for Life's flagship effort is our college outreach program.
In addition to teaching the rich, pro-life feminist history that we have uncovered, we have been moderating FFL Pregnancy Resource Forums at campuses across the country. The first such panel discussion was at Georgetown University in 1997. Administrators, community leaders and students came together in a nonconfrontational setting to identify available resources on and off campus and to set priorities for new policies, resources and ways to communicate nonviolent options.
Within two years, Georgetown University's board of trustees set aside endowed housing for parenting students. The Hoya Kids Learning Center was established. Pregnant and parenting students had access to health services and user-friendly information on the school's website. Students created volunteer babysitting services. A "safety net" team of university administrators organized to ensure that no pregnant women—including birthmothers and international students—fall through the cracks. And every year, Georgetown hosts a Pregnancy Resource Forum to take another look at ways they can improve.
The first Georgetown forum started with the story of a woman who had an abortion because she did not know where to go for help. At the 14th annual forum, babies played on the floor. Beaming mothers told us they have "everything [they] need." This past fall I moderated the 19th annual forum at Georgetown University. Because of our early efforts at Georgetown, Villanova and Notre Dame, this is the first year that babies born with the support of administrators are now likely entering college themselves.
Other colleges have also expanded their support for student parents. Pepperdine University created a task force to support pregnant women, adjusting policies to better suit student parents' needs and building family housing. A donor recently stepped forward to fund a housing scholarship. Abbot Placid Solari and the monks of Belmont Abbey donated land adjacent to Belmont Abbey for "A Room at the Inn," now called Mira-Via, so that women will not feel pressured to terminate either their pregnancies or their educations. Pregnant women and new mothers can now have their babies and continue with school.
Pro-life and pro-choice students came together at Wellesley College to hold a rummage sale benefitting a pregnant student who lost her financial aid for housing. The young woman had her baby and graduated. A University of Virginia student started a babysitting club. Berkeley Students for Life held bake sales to pay for diaper decks. Students for Life at St. Louis University started a scholarship fund for child care. There are many other examples like this as the ideas of Feminists for Life members and supporters go viral.
In 2010, FFL Pregnancy Resource Forums findings became the inspiration for federal grants to states through the Department of Health and Human Services' Pregnancy Assistance Fund. After the first 10 years of FFL's College Outreach Program, Planned Parenthood reported a 30 percent drop in abortions among college-educated women.
Women Deserve Better
Abortion betrays the basic feminist principles of nonviolence, nondiscrimination and justice for all. Abortion is a reflection that we have not met the needs of women—and that women have settled for less. Women deserve better.
Forty years after Sarah Weddington capitulated to inherently unfair practices against pregnant and parenting women, we say no to the status quo. We refuse to choose between women and children.
More than a century ago, the same women who fought for women's rights and for the rights of slaves to be free also fought to protect women and children from abortion. We continue their fight in the spirit of Mattie Brinkerhoff, who wrote in 1869 in The Revolution:
When a man steals to satisfy hunger, we can safely assume that there is something wrong in society—so when a woman destroys the life of her unborn child, it is an evidence that either by education or circumstances she has been greatly wronged.
Feminism was born of abolition. All people are equal. Not all choices are equal. We envision a better day, a day when womanhood is celebrated, mothers are supported, fatherhood is honored and every child is cherished.
If you refuse to choose between women and children, if you work to systematically eliminate the root causes that drive women to abortion, then you already follow in the footsteps of Susan B. Anthony and our other feminist foremothers, whether you call yourself a feminist or not.
ESTHER COOKE
Please. You are obviously a thinking person. Why confuse pro choice with pro abortion? God gives women a choice just as we are given choices about life in general.. It is your choice to not jump off a building. We may try to talk with love to you about choosing life but we will not make you risk Infection or bleeding out or condemnation. Can you not see that comparison to Murder only alienates the people who you want to welcome into care and love ?
Luigi Del Gaudio
Eating too much may be "gluttony" in the definitive sense, but are we to use such a term for those people who are obese, gluttons? That would be hardly helpful. Calling a woman a "murderer" for ending her child's life may fit the definition of what has happened, but also, how does that help? Pope Francis talks about "accompanying" our brothers and sisters in their journey to find Christ. A gradualist approach that never ever waters down the Truth but starts where the person is, in the present moment and the encouragement to find the Truth in Christ.
Kristen Hoffmaster
Well written! We should never have to choose between women and children. We should stand beside women in unimaginably difficult circumstances and give them every opportunity to choose life: change the structures that make the world a place where it is difficult for some women to choose life. We should make this world a place where it is easier for all of us to do good. Many women will need medicine during and after pregnancy to alleviate the effects of complications, and quite a few of us may be told that future pregnancies are not medically safe. There is nothing wrong with family planning. Most women (and men) prefer the most natural (and least invasive) methods that they can find. The author is correct and spot-on here: pregnancy is not a disease. And where pregnancy leads to disease or causes burden for women, society often has much more to make-up for than the pregnant woman herself. We do need to stand with women and make it easier for them to choose life; and we need to walk with women whose situations have not been so fortunate. Nicely done.
Jim Lein
We are stuck in the choosing of woman or child to be. I agree, we shouldn't stay stuck here. Start with the woman. Do all we can, personally and as a community and society, to help her have the freedom, the room, the time, the wherewithal to choose life. Cardinal Sean O'Malley said at the pro-life rally in DC, we should start with the woman. In effect he advocated the refusal to choose between woman or child to be. A woman is more than a womb. We have to admit this. We have to show this. That is the Christian way, the gospel way. As I have thought and occasionally said for decades, we are all implicated in abortion. We all fail if there are abortions. To regard women as wombs first and persons second is part of the problem -- rather, it is the problem.
Annette Magjuka
But the solution is not to take away a woman's autonomy. If Right to Life got out of the business of changing laws but only supported initiatives like the ones in the above article, that would be great. It is the idea that women must be controlled through church and secular laws that causes the divide.
Issues of human sexuality, including contraception and abortion, cannot be resolved in a coherent manner as long as our sacramental theology remains contaminated by patriarchal ideology. Specifically, the exclusively male priesthood is a choice, not a dogma (CIC 1024, CCC 1598). Something is wrong about the church being "pro-life" and choosing to prevent female vocations to the ministerial priesthood. My understanding is that all the sacraments are nuptial, and none was instituted by Christ to be gender-exclusive forever. The dogmatic definition on the institution of the priesthood (Trent 23) clearly states the apostolic requirement but does not mention any masculinity requirement. With so many nuns who have the "signs of the priesthood," it is lamentable that they cannot be ordained for cultural reasons that have nothing to do with divine revelation. Ordaining nuns to the priesthood would be the right response to the "signs of the times" and the most sensible response to the shortage of priests. Besides, the ordination of women to the priesthood and the episcopacy would be instrumental for integral human development and fostering social and ecological justice. It has been said that "human development, if not engendered, is endangered." Likewise, human ecology without gender balance is endangered. As long as women are excluded from sacramental ministry, can we really say that the church is a sacrament of Christ's presence in the midst of our current ecological predicament?
Rosemary McHugh
Thankyou for this excellent article. As a woman and as a physician, I believe that it has to remain the mother's decision about whether to end her pregnancy, or hopefully to allow her unborn child to live. Being pregnant can be very hard for some women and even lead to suicide for a woman with an unwanted pregnancy. The celibate men of the Church have always acted as if the unborn child was more important than the mother, in my view. I am grateful to see that this article is acknowledging the plight of the mother as well as the plight of the unwanted unborn child. Sincerely, Dr Rosemary Eileen McHugh, M.D., M.Spir.

Objectively abortion is serious matter.

This is excellent. My first reaction was to hit like and share on Facebook. But included in my hundred or so Facebook friends ( acquaintances? Barely Know You? ) are some whom I suspect would staunchly retreat into their pro-choice rhetoric because of the wounds in their own lives. I wish I knew a way to share this without ruffling their feathers.
THE CHRISTOFFERSONS
Excellent article! It is heartwarming to see a support structure for women being developed to counter the circumstances (including poverty and the convenience of some males) that prompt abortion. It is the field hospital emphasis being advocated by Pope Francis. Let us hope news of this kind does, indeed, "go viral". It is noteworthy that the article stops short of advocating a return to the days when abortion was illegal. Laws against abortion have the practical effect of sweeping under the rug the "root causes" which must be addressed in order to celebrate and support childbirth in such circumstances. As Pope Francis has recently emphasized with respect to marriage, it is good to keep the ideals of Christ as beacons for society. But those ideals, embodied in doctrine, should not detract from primary emphasis upon being a field hospital. It is all too easy to convert ideals into law, turning attention away from the "root causes" which the field hospital must address. Jesus faced this in the Jewish society of his time, which was beholden to the law. Jesus calls us to a different place, distinct from the law but a fulfillment that is beyond the law. St. Thomas understood mercy in this sense (Book I, Q.21, Art.3). The law operates from the outside, the Spirit takes hold from the inside. The law enforces what is necessary for the good order and discipline of society; the Spirit calls us beyond that to what Paul VI called a "civilization of love." The law has its place, in ancient times (Matt. 5:17) as well as our own. It is regrettable that our society's idealism -- and, indeed, the idealism of our Church -- has too often succumbed to the temptation to turn ideals into laws, seeking love on the cheap without the hard work of the field hospital. The primacy of the field hospital and the primacy of conscience are good antidotes for this temptation. If this temptation is understood, those who are labeled "pro-choice" and "anti-abortion" will find themselves working together in the field hospital and promoting the actions so passionately described in this article.
"What if Weddington had used her legal acumen to challenge the system and address women's needs?" As a Catholic and a person who does not "believe" in abortion, I agree that we should make it easier for women to "choose life." But change comes very slowly. I have waited my entire life for the Catholic church to affirm the contributions of women within the church. I want women priests! This will not happen in my lifetime--all the years of waiting, arguing, and hoping, and I will die with the church being a patriarchal system that controls women through fertility issues. I marched in Right to Life events when I was young! Then, in the mid-70's, my mom got early onset breast cancer. She had chemo and radiation. Bald as a billiard ball, she thought she was pregnant. She told her doctor, and he said, horrified, "There is no way you can have a child. There would be zero chance of having a normal child with all the drugs in your body." She got her blood drawn (this was before instant pregnancy kits) and waited for the answer. These few days were by far the worst days of her life. A devout Catholic, she knew she could never have an abortion. She truly experienced the dark night of the soul. She was not pregnant, but I realized that had she decided to have the pregnancy terminated, I would understand. THEN, suddenly, I got it. If I could understand this one case, I could not judge other women and their choices! I stopped the Right to Life marches, and decided that abortion should be legal and safe. The woman carrying the child must decide what to do. This does not mean that I am "for" abortion! I believe in all efforts to support (not control) pregnant women who are confused, scared and without resources--so that if she WANTS to continue the pregnancy, she has support and resources. In this way, the article is good. But making abortion illegal? NO. NO, NO, NO. Bottom line: I do not trust male hierarchies to "take care of " women. Women must take charge and care for themselves. And for this, they must be in charge of their own bodies. The article cites tragedies of botched abortions. What about women who die in Catholic hospitals because the doctors must never choose a mother's life over the life of the child? These are also tragedies. This is a complex issue. But the parenting centers on college campuses? Great. Let's expand this as much as possible. THIS is a right to life move we can all support. Just don't tread into the area that a patriarchy will "take care of" women. This is a fiction, in and outside of the church.
Also, we must support the important concept of lifelong conscience formation. It is up to the individual to act according to conscience. The church and its dogma, priests, family--all help inform a woman who is facing a complicated pregnancy. Ultimately, the woman must act. It is her soul, it is her conscience, and we must love and not judge. The article gives examples of how we can offer loving support to pregnant woman. These are all great. But legislation against a woman's right to choose? This would lead to so many negative consequences. NO.
Thank you so much for this article. The past has so much to teach us! I strongly agree with comment regarding life long formation of the conscience, the soul. I am a cradle Catholic, but, like many at that age, had fallen away from the Church when I found myself college-aged, pregnant, unmarried, and full of dreams for my future that did not include a baby. Abortion was a practical consideration at the time, but my conscience said no - even though it would mean sacrificing, at least for some time, my professional aspirations. In addition to my loving family, many state institutions supported me and my beautiful daughter in the early days, including food stamps, WIC, and medicaid. Looking back I believe that every hour of catechetical formation in my young life had been leading up to that life-changing decision. The holy spirit gave me the courage to choose a path that my upper middle class culture did not always sincerely support. Thank you for your efforts to support women in their college years.
KEVIN DOYLE
Thank you so much for allowing so much space for this article. It is terrific and especially valuable in taking on the false Pro-Choice narrative. Imagine how much more powerful Catholic witness on behalf of the Unborn will be once we have honestly confronted our sins against women today and over the centuries.
Tom Fields
The idea that abortion is, "..an easy way out" is the line of the pro-abortion movement--in and out of the Church, in and out of the feminist movement. Although there is a slowly growing revulsion with the shameful American rate of abortion--backed by the President and his Party---there is a weakness in the strength of our response to this abomination. There is a great danger of becoming Luke warm.
Zachary Gerber
In the article, "The Feminist Case Against Abortion" , Serrin Foster supports her purpose of showing America that feminist to not have to support abortion well through the historical evidence on the start of the feminist movement. For example, in the article the author states. "Abortion betrays the basic feminist principles of nonviolence, non discrimination and justice for all"(Foster 1). She is showing the historical realities behind feminism as it started out as an organization of women that were determined to be a non violence, non discrimination and equal justice for all organization. By showing that the original feminists did not feel that abortion was a good thing and that they respected life greatly helps to support her purpose by showing that the ideals of abortion have only snuck their way in because abortion is the easy way out for the women who do not want to take responsibility for their actions. In addition, she later in the article quotes Susan B. Anthony a very well known women's rights activist and feminist did not feel abortion was right, she states, '"Child murderers practice their profession without let or hindrance, and open infant butcheries unquestioned.... Perhaps there will come a day when...an unmarried mother will not be despised because of her motherhood...and when the right of the unborn to be born will not be denied or interfered with"'(Foster 1). By integrating this quote into the article the author greatly supports her purpose by giving the historical evidence that even one of the best known women's rights activists was against abortion. She develops a cohesive argument by giving credit to the work that she is doing and thus clearly is able to convey her purpose. Serrin Foster supports her purpose in the article very well through the historical evidence she conveys.
Lisa Weber
I am tired of the issue of abortion being high on the list of political discussion because it is such an emotional issue but it is very difficult to address it directly. This article makes all those arguments nicely. The Church fails to see that it will not be able to speak authoritatively about reproductive issues until it involves women in the determination of doctrine and also allows women to speak. In the absence of women leaders, the Church tends to look like a bunch of men wanting to control women's bodies and lives - no matter how logical their arguments look to men. To decrease the incidence of abortion, you have to convince women.

Estate planning provides for the efficient and effective transfer of assets at your death. You may have heard of terms like joint tenants and beneficiary designations; read on to discover what these estate planning strategies mean.
Joint tenants with right of survivorship: The average American owns a home with a spouse, and the house is registered in joint tenancy with right of survivorship. They may also own personal investments, such as brokerage or mutual fund accounts titled with their spouse as joint tenants with rights of survivorship. This ownership type allows you to co-own assets with another person, and when one of the two dies, the asset transfers completely over to the survivor automatically, avoiding probate.
Beneficiary designations: You may have a retirement plan at work, life insurance, and possibly an IRA account or two, all of which have beneficiary designations. A beneficiary designation instructs the retirement plan sponsor, investment account custodian, or insurance company as to who is to receive the assets upon your death. Assets and insurance policies with beneficiary designations also avoid probate.
A will: A will is a legal document that allows you to dictate in writing what you want to happen with your assets and who will care for your dependents upon your death. You can obtain a will from an attorney who specializes in estate planning, with off-the-shelf software programs, or from online resources like Nolo.com. A will becomes effective through the probate court process.
All assets that transfer by title or beneficiary designation upon death avoid probate. Probate is the legal process of settling an estate, and it can be expensive and time-consuming. You can reduce probate fees and potentially save time by having as many assets as possible pass to your heirs through joint tenancy with rights of survivorship and by using beneficiary designations as much as possible. All other assets that don't transfer by title or beneficiary designation, such as personal property, vehicles, and your baseball card collection, need to be addressed in your will.
The most critical (but not the only) reason why you need a will is to name the guardians for your minor children, presuming that you have minor children. Not only do you want to consider who should take care of your children, but also who should take care of the money for your children until they reach adulthood. You don't want to leave this issue for the state to decide.
The best caregivers aren't necessarily the best money managers, so consider who would be the best caregivers and who would be the best money managers for the assets you leave in trust to your children.
Many people die without having executed a will. In that case, your state of residence dictates how your assets will be distributed and who would be responsible for caring for your minor children. Don't take chances; if you don't have a will, get one immediately!

Sometimes God uses spectacles. An overly bright star. A cast of angels. A talking donkey. A burning bush.
Sometimes, he makes us the spectacle. In this season, radical kindness would definitely get some attention. It's a spectacle God can use.
What if we were to make spectacles of ourselves for Jesus this month? And what if you picked a few random acts of kindness and used them to bring attention to your love for Jesus? What if you made the love of Jesus your message and what if you made those random acts your voice?

At Little River Watershed, we value keeping our water systems healthy and as clean as possible. That is why it is important to us to practice diligence with trash removal and stream quality monitoring of the Little River. In addition, we do our best to keep an eye out for any invasive species that might be overtaking the area and causing any harm to the native inhabitants of the river and its banks. We aim to do this by having annual cleanups, water quality assessments and invasive removal days.
So why is this important? Protecting our water protects everything that inhabits this system, but also it effects you and me. There is a common denominator and it is that we all need water to survive, and without clean water, we wouldn't be healthy or happy individuals.
Little River Watershed Association teamed up with DOW Chemical on May 19th to take part in Keep America Beautiful's, Great American Cleanup. With the help of volunteers from DOW, the community and some Little River board members, we helped clean up 39 bags of trash from Brown's Creek, a tributary of the Little River and Bicentennial Park. Some of the items we removed from the creek included over 5 tires, a dresser, and a scooter!
We are thankful for community partners and the ability to help give back to keep our waters clean! If there are any areas that you want to help clean up, let us know at littleriverwatershed@gmail.com to organize a cleanup!


Large parts with complicated shapes may not be demolded readily even when mold release agents have been applied on the mold cavity. And depending on the material they are made of molds can be vulnerable to scratches and wear, and demolding tools in addition to other variables such as solvents or mold release agents may damage the mold surfaces. Caution should be used as well as the appropriate tooling and processes in order to prevent damage to both the demolded part and the mold. We have developed a line of special handling/rotation/demolding systems, designed to optimize these operations while reducing their overall cost.
Each system is engineered and manufactured to ease the demolding process with no damage to the composite part nor the molds, and is custom made according to each customer's equipment line and products.

Corso Buenos Aires 59 launches in Milan
Peter Evans
Corso Buenos Aires 59 – an exciting retail destination with a roster of high profile tenants right in the heart of Milan will launch in December 2021.
Developed by the leading real estate investment management firm MARK, the mixed-use retail and residential scheme is located on the corner of Corso Buenos Aires and Via Petrella. MARK is repurposing the former Corti di Baires shopping precinct, which has laid derelict for five years.
The construction works, which have been carried out throughout the Covid pandemic, have been built to high environmental and sustainability standards. Extensive ground source heat pumps provide the heating and cooling system, which in turn are powered by PV panels on the roof.
The retail element of CBA59 which will comprise six large shops of 8,000 m2 of rentable area, will bring a number of new brands with exciting concepts and significant footfall to this location.
The leasing process, which has been carried out over the past 18 months, has yielded an impressive lineup of tenants:
Nike will take up a space of 1400 m2, with a 780 m2 sales space, where they will open a phygital shop to improve customer experience.
Maison du Monde will open a unit of over 1,200 m2. The company which sells a wide range of furniture and home furnishings has a network of over 330 stores in Europe. This will be only their second city centre store in Italy.
Esselunga will open a new "LaEsse" store, its neighbourhood grocery format, in a space of about 1100 m2, to meet the shift in shopping habits.
• A lease has also been signed with Decathlon who will open the 1,700 m2 city centre concept in the spring of 2022.
Giambattista Camellini, Partner and Managing Director Retail Advisory by Rustioni & Partners comments:
"BA59 is meant to bring new vitality to Corso Buenos Aires, a prime shopping destination in Milan. The scale and ambition of the project were quick to turn into reality when some of the most influential international brands showed interest, despite the pandemic and the subsequent restrictions. This is how BA59 turned into an innovative project featuring international brands, some of which have trusted in the project and approached the city centre of Milan for the first time, along with more firmly rooted ones. Today BA59 offers a unique and high-end retail landscape."
Peter Evans, Senior Vice President at MARK comments:
"When planning Corso Buenos Aires 59, we carefully considered the location and observed the lack of large flexible retail units on this, one of the most important retail streets in Milan. The metro line which runs under the street delivers unprecedented access to a very large number of people from a very wide catchment to our doorstep. We set out to redefine the prime retail pitch on CBA and with the tenants we have contracted with, we believe we potentially are developing one of the best high street retail schemes to open in Italy in years.
The fact that all these retail leasing deals have been signed during the Covid pandemic, when much of Milan has been operating under very severe restrictions, speaks very highly of the resilience of the City and the retail market in particular. We are very excited to see these fantastic retailers opening in the scheme.
Reflecting on its location, Corso Buenos Aires 59 will stand as a destination for a greener, resilient, value focused world, where smarter design feeds into a new way of urban living and the commercial success and demands of tomorrow."
The residential element of CBA59, currently under renovation, includes 166 new apartments with a wide choice of studio, 1,2 and 3 beds. All apartments will be provided with modern conveniences and amenities meant to make life simpler, such as a reception, event rooms, fitness rooms and co-working spaces. Additionally, private garages, personal storage rooms and secure parking for bicycles and motorcycles are available to buyers. All the apartments have been sold off-plan.
Corso Buenos Aires is one of Milan's busiest and most important shopping streets. It is 1.5 km long with over 300 brands and an average daily footfall of nearly 7000 people.
Paolo Bottelli, Managing Director on Kryalos and project advisor comments:
"This urban regeneration project is significant because of the high potential of the area for both residential and retail, a strategic street of Milan where major changes are taking place, and investors are showing interest. New strategic brands opening their stores in Corti di Baires will further elevate the local retail industry, with an overall positive financial, societal, and environmental impact.
The street is at the heart of Milan's urban improvement strategy. From Porta Venezia to Piazzale Loreto, plans are underway to bring tree-lined streets, bike paths and wider sidewalks. A widescale plan is underway to make the area greener, decrease traffic and pollution, ultimately improving the quality of life for residents and visitors who wish to experience the true Milanese urban style".
Urban repositioning projects like CBA59 has always been at the heart of MARK's value-add strategy. Earlier this year, the investment management firm launched a Paris-focused urban regeneration platform that will invest in opportunities that deliver positive environmental and social outcomes. Named MPUR, the strategy has secured the prestigious ISR certification, underlining its strong ESG credentials.
Other noteworthy projects from MARK include The Whiteley, London – a £1bn luxury residential, retail and dining complex which includes a Six Senses hotel and spa.

What You Need to Know About the Thrift Savings Plan
As the federal government becomes a good source of jobs, more people are likely to be introduced to this retirement-savings account for federal employees.
I invested in my former employer's 401(k) plan for years, then lost my job. I now work for the federal government and have the opportunity to invest in the Thrift Savings Plan. How does this plan work, and can I roll my 401(k) money into it?
The Thrift Savings Plan is a lot like a 401(k) for federal employees and members of the military, and many more people are likely to be introduced to it over the next year or so, as the federal government becomes a good source of new jobs in this economy.
As with a 401(k), your contributions to the TSP lower your taxable income and grow tax-deferred until retirement. Many federal employees get an employer match (it generally depends on the retirement system you belong to), although most members of the military do not. The contribution limits are similar to those in a 401(k) -- you can contribute up to $16,500 to the Thrift Savings Plan in 2009, plus an extra $5,500 in catch-up contributions if you're 50 or older. (Members of the military who are deployed can contribute all of their tax-exempt combat-zone pay, as long as their total contributions for the year don't exceed $49,000). You'll generally have to pay a 10% penalty - as you would with a 401(k) -- if you leave your job before age 55 and withdraw the money (there is an exception for eligible military reservists called to duty for more than 179 days).
You can roll your 401(k) money into the Thrift Savings Plan, which may be a good idea because it has incredibly low fees (18 cents to 19 cents a year for every $1,000 invested for most of the funds, which equals just $18 or $19 a year in investment-management fees on a $100,000 portfolio). Pre-tax money in a traditional IRA, 403(b) or 457 can also be rolled into the TSP.
Instead of providing a selection of well-known funds, the TSP offers five index funds, including ones that invests in large companies (called the C fund), small companies (S fund), international firms (I fund), fixed- income investments (F fund) and government securities (G fund).
Or you can opt for one of the Lifecycle funds, which builds a diversified portfolio of the other funds to match your retirement time horizon. A Lifecycle fund (called an L fund) starts out with more money invested in stock funds -- when you have many years before you plan to touch the money - then gradually become more conservative as your goals get closer. The fund automatically adjusts the investments every quarter, so you don't need to make any changes. You should pick the Lifecycle fund with a target date closest to when you plan to start withdrawing the money. Visit the L funds page at TSP.gov to see how the allocation becomes more conservative as time passes.
Visit the "Returns and Share Prices" page of the Thrift Savings Plan Web site for each fund's returns. See the "TSP Fund Information Sheets" for details about each fund.
You can keep the money in the TSP after you leave your federal job to benefit from the low fees, or you can roll over the money into an IRA or a new employer's 401(k), 403(b) or 457. You must start taking required minimum distributions from the TSP after you turn 70 ½ or the year you leave federal service, whichever is later (the minimum-distribution requirement was waived for 2009, just as it was for IRAs and 401(k)s). For details about the TSP withdrawal requirements, see "Important Tax Information About Your TSP Withdrawal and Required Minimum Distributions."
For more information about the TSP, click on "Forms and Publications" on the TSP.gov page, then "Publications," then "Booklets," then "Summary of the Thrift Savings Plan."


The GNT-DS2 or DS4 wireless Deck sensor is designed to protect the exterior or interior of the vessel. The sensors are epoxied to the underside of the vessel's deck where they cannot be seen by intruders. In addition, they will not detract from the vessels decor. These sensors are effective on almost any boat structure including wood, fiberglass and even aluminum or steel decks. Environmentally sealed and utilizing 22-gauge marine grade wire leads, these sensors are ideal for those hard to protect areas of the vessel where there is access to the underside of the deck. They will not respond to vibration, shock, or airborne items. They sense only the unique flexing of the deck caused by a person walking. Sensitivity is fully adjustable from the processor. They can even be used to protect ladders up to the fly bridge or tuna tower.
These sensors are sold as arrays. We offer a 2, 4 and 6 sensor array.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: "We should be excited about automation"
In a talk at SXSW, the New York Congresswoman notes that automation is a net positive when the government offers a social safety net.
[Photo: Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images]
By Katharine Schwab 1 minute Read
Robots have put half a million people out of work in the United States, and researchers estimate that bots could take 800 million jobs by 2030. But New York congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez says that widespread automation is an exciting proposition–as long as some kind of government safety net is in place to equitably help the people who are displaced.
At the SXSW Conference in Austin, Texas, today, Ocasio-Cortez attributed widespread fear of robots taking jobs to the failure of underlying systems that should mitigate income inequality and economic precariousness. "We should not be haunted by the specter of being automated out of work," she says. "We should not feel nervous about the tollbooth collector not having to collect tolls. We should be excited by that. But the reason we're not excited about it is because we live in a society where if you don't have a job, you are left to die."
So how do you ensure that automation doesn't decimate the working class? Ocasio-Cortez cited Bill Gates's idea that you could tax robots at 90%. (Of course, she says, this really means "taxing corporations at 90%, but it's easier to say, 'tax a robot!'") Another proposal suggests that those who are displaced would receive a universal basic income, an idea that a 2018 Gallup poll found was supported by 68% of Democrats and 28% of Republicans.
"Whether its a tax rate, whether it's distributing wealth that's created by automation–if we approach solutions to our systems and start entertaining ideas like that, then we should be excited about automation because of what it could potentially mean," she says.
She painted a picture of what automation should do for society if government systems ensured that the wealth it creates lifted everyone up instead of just a select few: It would enable people to spend more time on education, creating art, and scientific research and invention–"more time enjoying the world we live in," Ocasio-Cortez said to cheering crowds. "Not all creativity needs to be bonded by wage."
It's the classic techno-futurist dream, one that Gates has also championed. But we don't live in that world right now. "We should be working the least amount we've ever worked, if we were actually paid based on how much wealth we were producing, but we're not," she said. "We're paid by how little we're desperate enough to accept. And then the rest is skimmed off and given to a billionaire."

6 Delicious Champagne Cocktails
Drinking a flute of bubbly on a romantic night may seem stuffy. Instead mix up one of these delicious and rare cocktails with sparkling wine as a base. Guaranteed to impress.

Take it from a guy who married a French girl: Champagne is the way to a woman's heart. There's just something about sparkling wine that's inherently romantic. Maybe it's the special glasses. Maybe it's the tickle of the bubbles. Maybe it's the way that it turns any occasion into something of a celebration. Whatever the reason, it's hard to go wrong with a cocktail that features a healthy dose of bubbly.
Sparkling wine, particularly drier varieties, will mix with just about any liquor under the sun … or stars, if you want to stick with the romantic theme. France's classic Kir Royale, perhaps the most famous Champagne cocktail, is nothing more than an ounce or so of crème de cassis(black currant liqueur) added to the glass before the wine is poured. You can do this same thing with a wide variety of liqueurs, and most will produce something nice, albeit a little one-dimensional. We like extra dimensions here at Primer, so we're featuring recipes that are a little more complex, subtle, and nuanced.
Whole books have been written on choosing a sparkling wine, so I'm not going to start dropping a ton of names on you here. Good Champagne is almost never going to let you down, but it can hit your wallet hard. Never fear: there are perfectly drinkable Proseccos, Cavas, and California sparklings available at bargain prices. If you can get it in your area, Barefoot Bubbly Extra Dry is a ridiculous value at around ten bucks … it's superior to many sparkling wines at twice that price. Great for drinking by itself, and fantastic in cocktails.
Why make a Champagne cocktail instead of just drinking the wine? Well, two reasons, really – the first is that putting a little extra effort in is just the kind of thing that can add to the romance. The second is that all six of these recipes are absolutely delicious. Do be careful, however: Champagne with liquor in it is a lot more potent than Champagne by itself. One or two drinks will improve the mood. Three or four will leave you both snoring on the couch.
With that in mind, let's get to the recipes!
The French 75
The combination of dry, herbal, juniper-heavy gin and toasty, biscuit-y champagne might seem a bit weird at first, but you're going to have to trust me here: the French 75 is a classic for a reason. Somehow the lemon juice and simple syrup bring everything together to create an enchanting drink that goes down way too easily.
2 oz. Gin (I like Tanqueray here)
1 tsp. Simple Syrup
Combine the gin, lemon juice, and simple syrup in a chilled Champagne glass. Slowly top with sparkling wine until the glass is full. Garnish with a lemon twist.
By the way, when it comes to glassware, I am a fan of coupes as opposed to flutes, especially for cocktails. They're sturdier, less likely to tip over, easier to garnish, and the traditional wisdom that they let the wine flatten more quickly is only true if you leave it lying around for a lengthy period of time … and why would you do that?
The Seelbach Cocktail
I owe a debt to Ted "Dr. Cocktail" Haigh for this recipe – and for a lot of my cocktail knowledge in general. His book, Vintage Spirits and Forgotten Cocktails, is one of the best recipe books on the planet for drinks, and is absolutely loaded with fascinating history as well. I've read it cover-to-cover four times. If I could only recommend one book to a novice mixologist, it would be this one. Go get it! You won't be disappointed.
1 oz. Bourbon (I recommend Russell's Reserve 10 Year)
.5 oz. Cointreau (or other Triple Sec)
5 oz. Sparkling Wine
Yes, that's really 14 dashes of bitters. Believe it or not, it totally works. This cocktail requires a rather large champagne glass (my coupes only hold about 4 ½ ounces). If you've got small ones, consider halving the ingredient list, using three dashes of Angostura, and four of Peychaud's.
Combine the bourbon, Cointreau, and bitters in a chilled Champagne glass and stir. Top, slowly, with chilled sparkling wine. Garnish with an orange twist.
The Airmail
I snagged this one from Jim Meehan's ridiculously thorough PDT Cocktail Book. A speakeasy off the side of a hotdog joint, which you enter through a hidden door in a phone booth (seriously), PDT is one of New York's best bars. I've had the pleasure of visiting more than once, including a sit-down with Meehan himself where we took a look at the print proof of his book a few months before it came out. This was, for me, like an NFL fan getting to hang out with Peyton Manning or Adrian Peterson. The recipe was originally printed in W.C. Whitfield's Here's How, published in 1941.
1 oz. White Rum (Meehan recommends Banks 5 Island)
.5 oz. Lime Juice
.5 oz. Honey Syrup
To make honey syrup, mix two parts honey to one part water and simmer over medium heat until thoroughly combined. Cool, bottle, and store in the fridge – it should last a minimum of four months. You can easily double that by adding just a dash of vodka.
To make the cocktail, simply add the rum, lime juice, and honey syrup to a chilled Champagne glass and stir. Add sparkling wine until full, and garnish with a lime wheel.
The ChaChaCha
This is a bit of recycling, as I used this recipe in my very first article for Primer, but it's still delicious, I'm still proud of it, and it was a collaboration with my wife, which is very much in keeping with the spirit of this article. In the past three years, we've changed up the bitters a bit and added a garnish, which brings an additional aromatic element to the party.
.75 oz. Green Chartreuse
1 dash Peychaud's Bitters
Add Chartreuse and bitters to a chilled champagne glass and stir to combine. Slowly add sparkling wine, stirring very gently. Cut a quarter-sized piece of lemon peel (avoiding as much of the pith as possible) twist it over the drink, and drop it in.
The Velvet Club
This is another recipe from The PDT Cocktail Book, created by Jane Danger in 2008. A variation on the Velvet Glove (created by L.V. Battersby, listed in The Café Royale Cocktail Book – 1937), it replaces club soda with sparkling wine. Note: you can do this with almost anycocktail that calls for club soda, and the result is often an improvement.
1 oz. Cognac (The PDT folks like Hine VSOP)
.5 oz. Lillet Blanc
.5 oz. White Crème de Cacao (Marie Brizzard makes a good one)
Stir cognac, Lillet, and crème de cacao with ice. Strain into a chilled Champagne glass. Top with sparkling wine, stirring gently. PDT calls for no garnish, but I think a brandied cherry would work well here.
The French Canadian
This is another invention of mine. It uses Calvados, the famous French apple brandy, which isn't all that tough to find in the US. Splurging for an XO Calvados that's been aged for more than a decade really makes this one decadent, but standard VS will work fine and won't set you back too much. In fact, you can even use Laird's Applejack, which at fourteen bucks a bottle isn't going to break anyone's bank, and still get a very nice drink!
1 oz. Calvados
1 tsp. Canadian No. 2 Amber Maple Syrup (US: Grade B)
1 dash Urban Moonshine Organic Bitters
Combine all ingredients except wine in a chilled Champagne glass and stir vigorously to ensure that the maple syrup dissolves. Top with champagne and garnish with an apple slice.

Hazardous conditions caused by climate change put Arctic research study on ice
By John Cotter in News, Energy | June 13th 2017

An Arctic climate change study has been cancelled because warming temperatures have filled the sea off northern Newfoundland with hazardous ice up to eight metres thick.
Instead of cruising north with a team of scientists, the Canadian Coast Guard icebreaker Amundsen has been busy freeing fishing boats and helping other ships surrounded in ice that usually doesn't travel so far south at this time of year.
David Barber, the expedition's chief scientist, says the irony is that climate change itself has put the climate change research project on ice.
"I have been in the Arctic for 35 years and this is one of the most incredible experiences I have ever had," he said Monday. "Normally these conditions aren't so bad. This is climate change fully in action — affecting our ability to make use of marine resources and transport things."
Barber said warming temperatures have made the ice in the high Arctic thinner. When buffeted by storms and high winds, the ice can move much more freely and travels south on ocean currents.
The expedition of 40 scientists was planning to travel to Hudson Bay, but the Amundsen had to be diverted to help ships caught in the Strait of Belle Isle and along the coast of Newfoundland.
Barber, a University of Manitoba Arctic ice expert, said the heavy icebreaker helped rescue stranded fisherman and carved a path for tankers carrying diesel fuel to remote communities.
At times, the ice was so thick the ship had to repeatedly back up and ram its way through the frozen barrier.
"Typically we run into this when we overwinter in the High Arctic," he said. "To be doing that off the Newfoundland coast in June was completely unheard of."
Barber said the delay caused by the ice prompted the cancellation of the expedition, but scientists put the time to good use. They will share information about the ice conditions with the Coast Guard and shipping companies.
The Coast Guard said last week that some fishing boats that had been stuck in thick ice had returned safely to shore. Five fishermen were flown to safety by a military helicopter after their boat started to take on water.
Scientists said the ice conditions are another indicator that climate change is not something that is going to happen — it is already here.
Barber said the shifting of thick ice will have implications for ship movements in other areas of the Arctic, including Baffin Bay and parts of the Northwest Passage.
He suggested the federal government needs to be more prepared for the changes through better monitoring of ice conditions and ensuring that Canada's fleet of aging heavy icebreakers is up to the task.
"It was a real eye-opener for me — just how unprepared we are for climate change when it comes to ice hazards," he said. "This is a wake-up call for all of us in the country."

Q: c++ main function use two times of function Write a function, equalsArray that when passed two int arrays of the same length that is greater than 0 will return true if every number in the first array is equal to the number at the same index in the second array. If the length of the arrays is less than 1 the function must return false. For example, comparing the two arrays, {1,2,3,4,5} and {1,2,3,4,5} would return true but the two arrays {3,7} and {3,6} would return false.
You should start by copying the function-1-1.cpp file and name it function-3-1.cpp. Then add the function equalsArray to the new file.
The main function for this problem must call your readNumbers function twice, then pass both new arrays to your equalsArray function, display the result as true or false and finally delete the array. The main function in the file main-3-1.cpp.
The signature for your new function is:
bool equalsArray(int *numbers1,int *numbers2,int length) ;

This is my code, and i try to use the int* readNumber two times.
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int* readNumbers()
{

    int* a = new int[10];
    for (int i = 1; i < 11; i++) {

        int x;
        cin >> x;
        a[i] = x;
    }
    a++;
    return a;
    // delete[] a;
}

bool equalsArray(int* numbers1, int* numbers2, int length)
{
    if (length >= 1) {
        for (int i = 0; i < length; i++) {
            if (numbers1[i] == numbers2[i]) {
            }
            else {
                return false;
            }
        }
        return true;
    }

    // delete[] numbers1;
    // delete[] numbers2;

    int main()
    {
        int* arr1 = readNumbers();
        int* arr2 = readNumbers();
        equalsArray(arr1, arr2, 10);
        return 0;
    }

There there is an error,control reaches end of non-void function.
How to improve my code?
Thank you all.

True(1)

A: OK, first I will show you your code, with comments where the errors are.
Then I will show you a fixed version. And, at the end, a little bit more robust C++ soultion.
I know that you learn in school all this nasty stuff with pointers, decayed pointers for arrays, C-style arrays,pointers for owned memory,  new and delete.
That is basically bad. It should never be used in C++.
Anyway. Teachers still think like that. What a pity . . .
OK. You code with comments:
#include <iostream>

using namespace std; // Should not be used

int* readNumbers()
{

    int* a = new int[10];              // Do not use C-style arrays, pointer for owned memory, new and delete
    for (int i = 1; i < 11; i++) {     // Will lead to out of bound error

        int x;             // Why using additional variables?
        cin >> x;
        a[i] = x;
    }
    a++;                   // Wrong
    return a;
    // delete[] a;         // Not here
}

bool equalsArray(int* numbers1, int* numbers2, int length)
{
    if (length >= 1) {
        for (int i = 0; i < length; i++) {
            if (numbers1[i] == numbers2[i]) {
            }
            else {
                return false;
            }
        }
        return true;
    }
                            // Here nothing will be returned
}                           // Closing bracket misding

    // delete[] numbers1;     // Not here
    // delete[] numbers2;     // Not here

int main()
{
    int* arr1 = readNumbers();
    int* arr2 = readNumbers();
    equalsArray(arr1, arr2, 10);
    return 0;                        // No output
}                                    // No Release of memory

Next, your fixed code

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

// Function to read a given numbers of values and returns them in a dynaimcally allocated array
int* readArrayOfNumbers(int numberOfValuesToRead) {

    // Allocate a new array for the given amount of integers
    int* dynamicArrayOfIntegers = new int[numberOfValuesToRead];

    // Read all values in a loop from user via std::cin
    for (int index = 0; index < numberOfValuesToRead; ++index) {
        cin >> dynamicArrayOfIntegers[index];
    }
    return dynamicArrayOfIntegers;
}

// Compare 2 arrays with same size
bool equalsArray(int* numbers1, int* numbers2, int length) {
    // We assume in the beginning that the arrays will be equal
    bool result = true;

    // We will only compare arrays, if they contain data
    if (length >= 1) {

        // Now compare arrays element by element
        for (int i = 0; i < length; i++) {

            if (numbers1[i] != numbers2[i]) {
                // If not equal then set result to false and stop loop
                result = false;
                break;
            }
        }
    }
    else {
        // No data in array. Consider as not equal
        result = false;
    }
    return result;
}

int main()
{
    // Define size of arrays
    const int sizeOfArray = 10;

    // Get 2 arrays in dynamically allocated arrays
    int* array1 = readArrayOfNumbers(sizeOfArray);
    int* array2 = readArrayOfNumbers(sizeOfArray);

    // Compare both arrays
    const bool arraysAreEqual = equalsArray(array1, array2, sizeOfArray);

    // Show result
    if (arraysAreEqual)
        std::cout << "\nTrue(1)\n";
    else
        std::cout << "\nFalse(0)\n";

    // Release memory
    delete[] array1;
    delete[] array2;
}

And finally, the C++ solution
#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <array>

constexpr size_t NumberOfElements = 10u;
using MyType = int;
using MyArray = std::array<MyType, NumberOfElements>;

int main() {

    // Define arrays
    MyArray myArray1{};
    MyArray myArray2{};

    // Read values
    for (size_t i{}; (i < NumberOfElements) and (std::cin >> myArray1[i]); ++i)
        ;
    for (size_t i{}; (i < NumberOfElements) and (std::cin >> myArray2[i]); ++i)
        ;
    // If all numbers could be read . . .
    if (std::cin) {
        // Show result of comparison
        std::cout << '\n' << std::boolalpha << (myArray1 == myArray2) << '(' << (myArray1 == myArray2) * 1 << ")\n";
    }
    else std::cerr << "\n*** Error. Invalid input data\n";
}
