We mourn the loss of Dan Campanelli, who passed away on May 24, 2017.
Dan Campanelli
Seldom are artists able to remain so completely loyal to their original vision while achieving the remarkable popular success of Pauline and Dan Campanelli. Most of their paintings; Dan's landscapes in watercolor and Pauline's still-life in oils; are reproduced by the New York Graphic Publishing Group, the largest and oldest publisher of fine art reproductions.
Pauline Campanelli passed away on November 29, 2001. We have been honored by her grace and support and by the privilege of including her story among those that characterize Northwest New Jersey.
Perhaps it is because the Campanellis, in all facets of their everyday lives, subscribe completely to the traditional American aesthetic expressed in their paintings, that they are so able to convey and reaffirm the simple, luminous beauty of their subjects. For nearly a quarter century, from their little stone house near Finesville, a few miles south of Phillipsburg near the Musconetcong River, Dan and Pauline produced a succession of work which has come to be admired across America and around the world. Much of the subject matter for their work lay literally within a stone's throw of their home; and all within an hour's drive. This is where they came to be near the subjects they love to paint. In their hands, plainness transforms to crystal clarity, and austerity becomes majesty, evoking a powerful response from an expansive audience.
Jockey Hollow. Watercolor by Dan Campanelli from the
collection of David and Robin Perelli
Powerful indeed. The chord they've struck elevated their sales past one million sometime about three years ago. Growing at a rate of over 100,000 prints each year, the total now rests at somewhere around 1.2 million. A Campanelli image is something you're likely to recognize, though the name may be one you're learning for the first time.
Although he can "do his art" anywhere they please, Dan continues to go to work every day in his Quakertown home, where he lives with his wife, Marty. This is where he came to be near the subjects he loves to paint. While others travel to Williamsburg, Virginia, or Sturbridge, Massachusetts, to experience history, here among the the sleepy little villages not named on maps, the nineteenth century still lingers. Indeed, the house is itself a work of art (and economic necessity), restored nail by nail by Dan and Marty, learning each step of the way, while adding the modern requirements for domestic living, spiced with twists of ingenuity.
Both Dan and Marty are continually immersed in projects important to local historic preservation. Most recently Dan agreed to sell limited edition prints of his rendition of the Historic County Courthouse via the Hunterdon Tricentennial Committee as a fundraiser for the many events planned to celebrate 300 Years of Hunterdon in 2014.

Dalyell steps up attack on Levy
Veteran MP rejects accusations that he is anti-semitic and renews criticism of Jewish adviser to No 10
Michael White, political editor
Tue 6 May 2003 03.28 EDT
The Labour MP Tam Dalyell yesterday scornfully brushed aside accusations of anti-semitism but stood by the allegation that has landed him in political trouble, that "there is far too much Jewish influence in the United States" and one over-influential Jew in Tony Blair's entourage.
Faced with threats to take "inflammatory remarks" to the commission for racial equality, the MP for Linlithgow raised the stakes significantly by criticising Lord Levy, the music mogul turned Blair fundraiser and tennis partner, whose in timate contacts across the region have made him No 10's envoy to the Middle East.
"I believe his influence has been very important on the prime minister and has led to what I see as this awful war and the sack of Baghdad," said Mr Dalyell, who has long been a critic of Israeli expansionism and insists that many Jews are also "desperately unhappy about it'.'
The father of the Commons, an MP for 41 years and a pillar of the "awkward squad" for most of them, Mr Dalyell qualified his criticisms only to the extent of saying he was not attacking Jewish influence as such, but what he called the "Sharon-Likudnik agenda" of the hardliners - led by Ariel Sharon's Likud party - who dominate Israeli politics.
After Mr Dalyell was indirectly reported by Vanity Fair magazine as criticising "a cabal of Jewish advisers" driving US-UK policy towards Iraq - and now Syria - there were protests, and Professor Eric Moonman, a Labour MP 20 years ago, started legal consultations over a complaint to the CRE.
But Mr Dalyell may be the MP least likely to buckle to pressure. Questioned on Radio 4's World at One, he said: "The cabal I referred to was American," and named seven hawk ish advisers to President George Bush - six of them Jewish - as urging a strike against Syria.
"It's the Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs combined with neo-Christian fundamentalists. I think a lot of it is Likudnik, Mr Sharon's agenda, and when it comes to an attack on Syria this is a very serious matter."
Pressed further, the MP conceded he had "picked out one person [in Britain] about whom I am extremely concerned and I have to be blunt about it. That is Lord Levy, Mr Blair's official representative in the Middle East. This has two questions: first, should not this be done by the Foreign Office; second, are special representatives to be accountable or not?"
Downing Street has often been forced to defend Lord Levy, both over aggressive fundraising and as an envoy - welcome in Arab capitals, including Damascus, as well as Tel Aviv - who cannot be questioned by MPs.
Mr Dalyell's career includes a close alliance with the late Richard Crossman, a passionate Zionist who believed that all gentiles - including himself - are anti-semitic at some level. The claim won him the friendship of Chaim Weizman, a president of Israel.
Prof Moonman, president of the Zionist Federation, said: "I do not believe Tam is anti-semitic," but said his "old friend" had used language which could support that view.
Whatever the extent of Lord Levy's influence, Mr Dalyell and his detractors yesterday appeared to make no acknowledgement of the defence lodged by Mr Blair's allies.
They constantly point out that No 10 has helped persuade the White House to promote the latest "road map" version of the Middle East peace plan in the teeth of Israeli opposition.

Biblical Unity or Papal Conformity?
by Richard Bennett and Michael de Semlyen
On Sunday, March 12 2000, the first Sunday of Lent, the Pope presided over a solemn ceremony called "The Day of Pardon" in St. Peter's Basilica, Rome, in which he asked God for forgiveness for the historical wrongs of the Roman Catholic Church (RCC). The ceremony was presented as another profoundly significant event in the RC Church's "Millennium Jubilee Holy Year" and a further step, unprecedented but necessary, in the process of unity. It was a modern media event staged for maximum impact to encourage "unity". The impression given is that it is a genuine at tempt to wipe the slate clean and to apologize for the past wrongs of the Church.
Careful examination, however, shows that the Pope's "Day of Pardon" was in fact not an apology, but rather a day of deception. In this service, the Pope continually prayed, purportedly as a Christian, while never admitting any of the horrendous sins of the Church of Rome. An egregious example from the prepared text that was used is found in Section III, "Confession of Sins Which Have Harmed the Unity of the Body of Christ."1 The set prayer of the representative of the Roman Curia was as follows, "Let us pray that our recognition of the sins which have rent the unity of the Body of Christ and wounded fraternal charity will facilitate the way to reconcilia tion and communion among all Christians." Silent prayer followed this, and then the prayer of "The Holy Father" addressed to the "Merciful Father",
"Merciful Father, on the night before his Passion your Son prayed for the unity of those who believe in him: in disobedience to his will, however, believers have opposed one another, be coming divided, and have mutually condemned one another and fought against one another. We urgently implore your forgiveness and we beseech the gift of a repentant heart, so that all Christians, reconciled with you and with one another will be able, in one body and in one spirit, to experience anew the joy of full communion. We ask this through Christ our Lord."
If the Pope and the Roman Curia were really serious about their prayer offered to Holy God, they must face the fact that condemning curses of their Council of Trent were not mentioned nor re pented of, including the condemnation of the Biblical Gospel and historical biblical Christianity, which led to the wholesale slaughter of millions of Christians during the 605 years of the Inquisi tion, and which have never been revoked, Vatican Council II notwithstanding. If this prayer were answered, it would be necessary to dismantle the RCC with its false gospel, papal infallibility, and "irreformable"2 ways, which clearly the Pope and his Curia have no intention of doing.
"The Week of Christian Unity"
The gathering of mainstream churches at St. Paul's Basilica in Rome earlier this year is thought to have been the largest assembly of Christian leaders with a Pope since the Vatican Council II in the early 1960s. On January 18th, the Tuesday of the week which had been designated 'The Week of Christian Unity' in the 'Holy Year, 2000', leaders representing four fifths of Eastern Or thodoxy gathered alongside Anglicans, Lutherans, Methodists and Pentecostals. They were par ticipating in celebration of the opening of the 'Holy Door at St. Paul Outside the Walls'. Arch bishop George Carey, Primate of the Church of England, and Metropolitan Athanasius, repre senting Bartholomew, Patriarch of Constantinople and head of the Orthodox Church, knelt on ei ther side of Pope John Paul II before the newly opened door. Only one cushion had been provid ed as it was thought that only the Pope would kneel, but when they both fell to their knees, too, the Pope called out, "Unity! Thank you!" It was a highly symbolic moment.
The Pontiff had every reason to express his gratitude to the Churches represented and the two men flanking him. After all, in May 1999, the joint Anglican Roman Catholic International Commission (ARCIC) had issued a statement "recognizing the Pope as the overall authority in the Christian World" and describing him as "a gift to be received by all Churches", (a gift yet to be accepted by the Synod of the Church of England and the wider Anglican Communion, howev er). Five months later in October, 1999, on Reformation Day, the Roman Catholic and Lutheran Churches had signed a joint declaration announcing that their opposing views on justification have been reconciled.3 With this declaration of reconciliation and unity, the way seems clear for the Lutherans to join the Anglicans in accepting Papal primacy. The frosty relationship of earlier years with the Russian Orthodox Church has warmed up and a Papal visit to Moscow and a meeting with Patriarch Alexy II is being discussed. Pentecostals and Charismatics have acceler ated their Romeward journey and Evangelical leaders who have signed ECT ("Evangelicals and Catholics Together") have led very large numbers of Evangelicals to kneel before the open "holy" door that the Roman Catholic Church offers them.
The Pope's words that day were couched in the language associating equality with free dom. Carefully concealed in his response was the non-negotiable agenda of the Roman Catholic Church, for rather than looking for unity based on truth, the Papacy, as ever, is seeking to secure conformity through compromise. The "ecumenical dialogue" referred to by the Pope during the January 18th ceremony, is clearly governed by a special set of rules. Vatican Council II's post conciliar Document No. 42 on ecumenism states that "…dialogue is not an end in itself…it is not just an academic discussion." 4 Rather,
"ecumenical dialogue…serves to transform modes of thought and behavior and the daily life of those [non-Catholic] communities. In this way, it aims at preparing the way for their unity of faith in the bosom of a Church one and visible."5
That the papacy expects this process of dialogue to take time to accomplish its stated aim of bringing all Christian churches under its authority is clear when she says, "….little by little, as the obstacles to perfect ecclesial communion are overcome, all Chris tians will be gathered, in a common celebration of the Eucharist [the Mass] into that unity of the one and only Church.…This unity, we believe, dwells in the Catholic Church as something we can never lose."6
The "little by little" approach of the Vatican II document are now giant steps.
How many present at the January 18th gathering understand what is really happening? The Pope's official position is that "ecumenical encounter is not merely an individual work, but also a task of the [RC] Church, which takes precedence over all individual opinions."7 Thus the opinions of others present on January 18th are "individual opinions" and worthless. The final goal of any dialogue with the RCC is, first and foremost, "unity" in a visible and specific ritual under the authority of the Roman Catholic Church, "all Christians will be gathered, in a com mon celebration of the Eucharist into that unity of the one and only Church….unity we believe dwells in the Catholic Church as something she can never lose." She could hardly state it more clearly.
Unity: true and false
Very different from this man-made spurious unity is the true unity of believers in Christ. The foundation of Christian unity is the position of believers "in God the Father and in the Lord Je sus Christ."8 The Lord's prayer in John 17:21 for unity is answered in the life of an individual who is justified by God's saving grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone. The fact that the Lord Jesus Christ prayed for unity means that unity of believers is actual. God, the Father of His people, Who before the world existed chose the believers to be in Christ His Son, justified them through His righteousness, and upon saving them, places them in Him, and will preserve them in that unity unto the culmination of all things. Believers are placed into the unity which is in Christ Jesus, a unity which they themselves did not establish, but which they are commanded to maintain. In the words of the Apostle Paul, they are "to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace."9
True ecumenism
The same Apostle shows clearly the ground of true unity: "There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; One Lord, one faith, one baptism, One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all."10 Believers, therefore, who adhere to God only and His Written Word, as did the Lord and the Apostles after Him ('Sola Scriptura') are one in body, in Spirit, and in truth. They are saved before the all-Holy God by grace alone ('Sola Gratia'), through faith alone ('Sola Fide'), and in Christ alone ('Solo Christo') and all glory and praise is to God alone ('Soli Deo Gloria'). These five biblical principles to gether show the foundation of true unity in the Lord. They have helped the persecuted church through the centuries to hold fast to the simplicity of the Gospel. True ecumenism is fellowship or working together in adherence to the five basic biblical principles that maintain the foundation of true unity in the Lord. To the degree to which these key basic biblical standards are embraced, true unity will be evident.
False ecumenism
On the other hand, false ecumenism, typically institutionalized, is the joining together for com mon causes of professing Christian groups, when in fact one or more of the parties involved are unconverted. While purporting to confess the Lord Jesus Christ according to the Scriptures, for the most part the five biblical principles that display the basis of true unity in the Lord are com promised. The extent to which these principles are not upheld usually shows the inclination of the church or group to submit to Rome.
The World Council of Churches is such an institution. Within it, there is no agreement on any of the five principles that demonstrate the fact that the foundation of true unity is in the Lord Jesus Christ alone. The Pope and his Church, likewise in apostasy from the true Gospel, are also without any of the five biblical standards. Counterfeiting the body of the Lord Jesus Christ, they are intent on finding successful ways to bind all to the very visible, active and attrac tive pontifical throne.
Pope defines conformity
In his official letter, "That they May Be One", the Pope defines full unity,
"The Catholic Church, both in her praxis and in her solemn documents, holds that the com munion of the particular Churches with the Church of Rome, and of their Bishops with the Bishops of Rome is, in God's plan, an essential requisite of full and visible communion."11
To arrive at that point of full unity, a different set of five principles must be adopted, principles that actually deny all five parameters of biblical truth. According to the Pope, "It is already pos sible to identify the areas in need of fuller study before a true consensus of faith can be achieved:
(1) the relationship between Sacred Scripture, as the highest authority in matters of faith, and Sacred Tradition, as indispensable to the interpretation of the Word of God;
(2) the Eucharist, as the Sacrament of the Body and Blood of Christ, an offering of praise to the Father, the sacrificial memorial and Real Presence of Christ and the sanctifying outpour ing of the Holy Spirit;
(3) Ordination, as a Sacrament, to the threefold Ministry of the episcopate, presbyterate and diaconate;
(4) the Magisterium of the Church, entrusted to the Pope and the Bishops in communion with him, understood as a responsibility and an authority exercised in the name of Christ for teach ing and safeguarding the faith;
(5) the Virgin Mary, as Mother of God and Icon of the Church, the spiritual Mother who in tercedes for Christ's disciples and for all humanity."12
The Pope's objective in declaring his five principles is that a ubiquitous visible conformity to the Church of Rome should be forged in accordance with and manifested through her institution alone. Thus the Pope decrees, "…it is now necessary to advance towards the visible unity which is required and sufficient and which is manifested in a real and concrete way, so that the Churches may truly become a sign of that full communion in the one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church which will be ex pressed in the common celebration of the Eucharist."13
The Roman Catholic Church is attempting to forge a man-made unity, visible by means of an in stitution to which all must conform. Such a conception stands in direct contradiction to the reali ty of believers who, having been placed invisibly in Christ by God, are to maintain the bond of unity given them by the Holy Spirit.
External Unity to be Attained by Power and Penalty
What is this conformity now so passionately advocated by the Pope? How would it be applied in practice? From all previous experience, and the official teaching of the same Pope in his Canon Law, those fully participating will be obliged to submit their faculties of both mind and will to 'the Holy Father' [the Pope], to his decrees, and to the dogma of his Church. Thus present day Roman law decrees,
Canon 752 "A religious respect of intellect and will, even if not the assent of faith, is to be paid to the teaching which the Supreme Pontiff or the college of bishops enunciate on faith or morals when they exercise the authentic magisterium even if they do not intend to proclaim it with a definitive act…"
In this official law Rome enunciates, in clearer terms than any cult states, the necessity of sup pressing one's God given faculties, that of mind and will. This is not only demanded, the new Canon Law, the 'Papal Code' codified by the present Pope, includes a section entitled "Punish ment of Offenses against Ecclesiastical Authorities and the Freedom of the Church". Under the heading, "The Punishment of Offenses in General", the Inquisition appears again as from old times, for Canon 1311 states,
"The Church has an innate and proper right to coerce offending members of the Christian faithful by means of penal sanctions."14
A brief acquaintance with history readily reveals that coercion is a term that the Roman Church understands very well. Naturally, when ushering all comers into her big tent, she makes light of its implications; but when once again in direct control of the levers of political power (which may well be provided by the fast advancing European super state), Canon 1311 could acquire that same notoriety as those that have so darkened the pages of history.
It is important to remember always that the Roman Papacy is an absolute monarchy and also a secular government. Enormously wealthy, it has territorial sovereignty, its court, nobles, and diplomatic corps; its detective force and secret service; its laws, advocates, and system of ju risprudence as well as prison; taxes, bank, foreign treaties and concordats, enormous political in fluence, ambitious plans and policies, all as much as any secular kingdom. And it still has the In quisition, now styled the Office of the Doctrine of the Faith, headed by Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger.
Bride of the Lamb understands Apostate Church
Believers of old were clear to call the Roman Catholic Church's imposed conformity "Satan's seat" or the Antichrist. This was known and spoken of even through the Middle Ages by Dante Alghieri (d. 1321), John Wycliff (d. 1384), John Huss (d. 1415), Savonarola (d. 1498), and William Tyndale (c. l536). So Rome's conformity was described as Antichrist from the time of Reformation by Martin Luther (d. 1546), Nicholas Ridley (d. 1554), John Bradford (d. 1555), and John Foxe (d. 1587), and in more recent times by Isaac Newton (d. 1727) and Jonathan Edwards (d. 1758). Now as the "Holy" Roman Empire revives in the European Superstate, can believers afford to remain ignorant of both history and Biblical prophecy as understood throughout the centuries? Confident believers of old saw that unity is in Christ and, consequently, warned of the conformity with Rome. They both knew the true church in Christ, and recognized the apostate Church in Rome. Understanding that unity with the Roman Catholic Church always meant sub mission to her traditions and finally obedience to her Pope, they rejoiced that their unity was in the Beloved, rather than dallying with sin.
Pope Identified
Extravagantly, apparently without trembling, the Pope has again fulfilled the Lord's prophetic Word (II Thessalonians 2:3-12) depicting the Man of Sin and Son of Perdition. The sitting Pope purports to take for himself a Divine position. Thus in Section III of the prepared program for the "Day of Pardon", "The Holy Father" is mentioned eight times. Nonetheless in the RCC, this title does not denote the All Holy One in heaven, but rather the sitting Pope. Seen in the light of Scripture, the RCC Pope who claims to be Christian, clearly is one "Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the tem ple of God, showing himself that he is God" (v. 4) The Pope of the RCC goes further when by taking to himself the title of "The Vicar of Christ", he presumes to take the place of Christ Him self, teacher, shepherd, and priest. This also is clearly tantamount to "as God sit[ting] in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God." The assertion is not simply made, for the Pope's law gives it teeth in exacting submission of mind and will and promising punitive action against those who fail to obey, as Canon 752 and 1311 document. He is the worst and greatest enemy of Christ who under the pretence of service to Christ, presumes to undermine His unique offices by covertly usurping His position and power.
C. H. Spurgeon clearly understood these things. His timely words still apply, Since he was cursed who rebuilt Jerico, much more the man who labors to restore Popery among us. In our fathers' days the gigantic walls of Popery fell by the power of their faith, the perseverance of their efforts, and the blast of their gospel trumpets; and now there are some who would rebuild that accursed system upon its old foundation. O Lord, be pleased to thwart their unrighteous endeavors, and pull down every stone, which they build. It should be a serious business with us to be thoroughly purged of every error which may have a ten dency to foster the spirit of Popery; and when we have made a clean sweep at home we should seek in every way to oppose its all to rapid spread abroad in the church and in the world. 15

Another bad day at the office saw Bridges sink to the bottom of the table, having played four games and still without a point.
It started brightly enough with chances going begging, the best a Nathan Koo-Boothe header from a corner. Then on 8 minutes Connor French was brought down in the box and awarded a penalty. He stepped up himself to take it, only to see the Faversham keeper, Simon Overland, push the ball away for a corner. However, all was not lost when, from the resulting corner, Jensen Grant put the ball in the back of the net.
Minutes later French was brought down again in the box, with what seemed a more obvious penalty than the first, only to see the referee wave play on.
Meanwhile Faversham relied on the long ball to the three fast-paced forwards and with this method on 20 minutes Dean Grant somehow turned in the box and scored the equaliser. A replica of that first goal for Faversham 7 minutes later allowed Jack Harris to put the visitors in front.
Bridges had plenty of possession but the delivery of the final ball continually let them down.
Four minutes before half time Faversham were awarded a penalty and Danny Walder stepped up to make the score 3-1 at the break.
Tyrone Berry gave Bridges hope on 56 minutes after a well worked move saw him narrow the score line, but the rest of the half saw Bridges keep on giving possession away with wayward passing.
Although it looked like an equaliser might arrive, it was settled when Faversham's Dean Grant put it beyond doubt, scoring in the 88th minute to make it 4-2.

Dak Prescott #4 of the Dallas Cowboys scrambles with the ball within the fourth quarter in opposition to the New England Patriots at Gillette Stadium on October 17, 2021 in Foxborough, Massachusetts.

The Dallas Cowboys have not gained a Tremendous Bowl in over 25 years. They've hardly even been within the dialog, notching solely 4 playoff victories in that span.
But the Cowboys are the most-valuable NFL franchise, topping the New England Patriots, who've gained six Tremendous Bowls since Dallas final took house the Vince Lombardi trophy. Regardless of many years of mediocrity, the Cowboys are all the time within the headlines, due to a model that is nearly universally acknowledged.
"They've that slogan that sort of sticks," mentioned former NFL large receiver Terrell Owens, who performed for the Cowboys from 2006 to 2008. "They're America's Group."
Followers now have a motive to get enthusiastic about what's occurring on the gridiron. After an injury-riddled season final yr that noticed the group end 6-10, the Cowboys are 5-1 within the new marketing campaign, using a five-game win streak and main the NFC East division by three video games.
America's group is again.
"Love them, hate them – they're the largest model within the NFL," mentioned Scott Rosner, the director of Columbia College's sports activities administration program. "They're related it doesn't matter what aspect of the query you fall on – whether or not you are on the love aspect or hate aspect."
Heading into their bye weekend, the Cowboys are the most popular they have been since 2016, quarterback Dak Prescott's rookie season. Via six video games Prescott is among the many league leaders in passing, residing as much as his four-year $160 million deal. Prescott's final season was minimize brief after he suffered a compound fracture in his proper ankle in week six in opposition to the New York Giants.
Prescott is getting loads of help from the highest-paid NFL receiver, Amari Cooper, and the costliest operating again, Ezekiel Elliott. They make up the Cowboys' new huge three, spearheading an offense that is second in speeding yards and fifth in passing.
The protection has additionally held up. Regardless of giving up the third-highest variety of yards, the unit leads the NFL in interceptions with 11, together with seven by cornerback Trevon Diggs.
Followers are downright giddy. The jerseys of Cooper and fellow large receiver CeeDee Lamb are two of the highest sellers throughout the league, in response to the NFL Store. The group leads the NFL in attendance, averaging 93,335 folks at its three house video games.
Forbes initiatives the Cowboys are price $6.5 billion, probably the most useful throughout all U.S. sports activities. Jerry Jones, who bought the group greater than 30 years in the past, has seen his wealth swell to $10.6 billion, Forbes estimates.
"The Cowboys haven't gained since 1995," mentioned longtime Cowboys beat reporter Clarence Hill, who writes for The Fort Value Star-Telegram. "Jerry purchased the group in 1989, they usually have been within the tank. He would let you know the group was price 50 cents on a greenback, even with the historical past. Since then, they've grown to the richest franchise and nonetheless have not gained something" because the '95-'96 season, Hill mentioned.
There are nonetheless 11 regular-season video games left, and the final word willpower of success will not come till the playoffs. However Jones has followers believing that greatness lies forward.
Here is what former Cowboys receiver Michael Irvin, who gained three Tremendous Bowls with the franchise within the Nineteen Nineties, mentioned on ESPN's "First Take" earlier within the week:
"I would like everyone on the market, Cowboys Nation, I would like you to know — Go get your Tremendous Bowl tickets. Get them early. I am attempting that can assist you out proper now."

Turning into America's Group
The final time the Cowboys made it to the massive recreation was January 1996. They beat the Pittsburgh Steelers, 27-17. The massive three consisted of quarterback Troy Aikman, operating again Emmitt Smith and Irvin. The identical trio led the Cowboys to Tremendous Bowl wins in 1993 and 1994.
Since their final NFL title, the Cowboys are 213-193. The group is 0-10 in playoff elimination video games and has shuffled via six head coaches. The final Tremendous Bowl-winning coach was Barry Switzer, who left after the 1997 season.
Jones has confronted hefty criticism from the fan base for the lackluster efficiency and for protecting such tight management of the group. He stays president and common supervisor. His son, Stephen, is chief working officer and his "right-hand man," in response to the Cowboys web site.
Nonetheless, Jones has stored the Cowboys related and extremely worthwhile, a rarity within the sports activities trade, the place few groups are capable of to earn a living whereas persistently dropping video games.
It is "as a result of they're America's Group and the intentional advertising and energy of the NFL," mentioned Hill of the Star-Telegram. "All that comes collectively."
The America's Group moniker dates again to 1978, when Tex Schramm, the franchise's authentic president, coined it in a retrospective on the season. The Cowboys had a record-setting 20 straight successful seasons from 1966 to 1985, and gained two of their 5 Tremendous Bowl appearances throughout that stretch.
Quarterback Roger Staubach was a famous person, as was operating again Tony Dorsett. Head coach Tom Landry, identified for his trademark fedora and funky demeanor, established an elite offense.
"He was forward of the NFL when it got here to technique," mentioned former linebacker Garry Cobb, who began his profession with the Cowboys in 1979 and returned a few decade later.
Cobb, 64, recalled the times earlier than he entered the league when the Cowboys dominated professional soccer.
"Once I was little, the Cowboys have been on TV greater than anyone else nationally," mentioned Cobb. "They'd a successful document yearly. That is the way in which they turned common."
He then bought to expertise the celebrity as a participant.
"Once we went right into a lodge, the constructing was mobbed," he mentioned. "It was unbelievable. The recognition was already there."
Hill, who's coated the group since 1996, mentioned that ambiance by no means actually pale from the group.
"It is all the time a circus," Hill mentioned. "And coming to the Cowboys as a participant or a coach, you need to perceive that it comes with the dinner. You will need to be capable to navigate that in addition to play soccer."

Terrell Owens relished within the drama, telling followers to "get your popcorn prepared."
"You discover it, and you're feeling it," mentioned Owens, who spent three of his 16 NFL seasons with the Cowboys. "You wish to play to the usual that everyone there expects you to play at. It is totally different if you're taking part in in Dallas versus a Cincinnati or Buffalo."
Owens performed for each groups after leaving the Cowboys.
Cowboys leverage state rights
Neal Pilson, former president of CBS Sports activities, mentioned the community used the America's Group slogan throughout its Cowboys telecasts. CBS, which had NFC rights till the early Nineteen Nineties, always featured the Cowboys.
"We helped construct that label," Pilson mentioned. "And it actually caught."
The Cowboys gained, however the enterprise nonetheless lagged. The league made the massive monetary selections, and group house owners did little to have interaction straight with firms and sponsors.
Jones purchased the Cowboys for roughly $150 million in 1989, probably the most ever paid for a group at the moment. He warned instantly that issues can be totally different.
"I shall be a part of each determination," the New York Instances quoted Jones as saying in 1989. "I will not go away something to the soccer folks."
Schramm resigned, and Jones made himself the overall supervisor. He employed a school coach, Jimmy Johnson, to interchange Landry, the one particular person to teach the Cowboys in its first 29 years. Jones then took on the NFL's 75-year enterprise philosophy.
Most NFL groups weren't worthwhile and the league managed the way in which income was generated. Jones discovered loopholes in NFL offers that allowed him to disrupt the league's pacts and earn a living for his group.
In 1995, the Cowboys parted methods with league associate Coca-Cola and signed a cope with Pepsi for "pouring rights" at their house stadium. That settlement was price a reported $20 million over 10 years, and it undermined Coke's NFL deal for $250 million.
The NFL sued Jones for $300 million in damages.

"Previous to that deal, you did not have groups participating in actual vigorous native enterprise operations," mentioned Columbia's Rosner "You have been primarily promoting tickets and adverts however not what it's at this time. Jerry challenged the system."
The perimeters in the end settled in a way that permit Jones preserve his sponsors. Different groups adopted swimsuit.
"He was displaying them tips on how to earn a living," mentioned Cobb. "Now all of the groups do it – they've league sponsors and group sponsors."
In each the 2019 and 2020 NFL seasons, the Cowboys attracted practically $1 billion in income, in response to Forbes. Pepsi nonetheless has pouring rights. AT&T owns naming rights to the stadium, a billion-dollar-plus constructing that opened in 2009 and is also known as Jerry World. And Ford owns rights to the group's observe website.
Final September, Fanatics signed a 10-year deal to take over e-commerce for the Cowboys. Merchandise income is up 60% this season in comparison with final, and Fanatics advised CNBC that the Cowboys lead all NFL groups in merchandise gross sales. That is been the case for 5 of the earlier eight years.
"The entire metrics across the Cowboys are increased than some other group," Rosner mentioned.
Getting assist from the massive markets
The Cowboys are additionally the beneficiary of a geographical quirk. They're within the NFC East, a division with groups within the huge markets of New York, Philadelphia, and Washington D.C.
None are inside 1,300 miles of Dallas.
"You will have a group in Texas within the NFC East," mentioned Ed Schauder, who heads the sports activities regulation observe at Phillips Nizer in New York. "It is unnecessary, however there are natural nationwide rivalries."
Enjoying twice a yr in opposition to the Eagles, Giants, and Washington Soccer Group provides Jones outsized entry to a number of the prime TV markets each NFL season. Whereas Jones did not play a job in creating the divisional setup, he is made certain to benefit from it.
"He in all probability noticed the advertising worth of their common opponents," Pilson mentioned." I believe he noticed that yearly, given the NFL construction, he has two video games into New York and Philadelphia."
Fox Sports activities, which now controls the NFC bundle, says Cowboys video games account for 9 of its 10 most-watched NFL contests because the partnership started in 1994. The largest viewers was on Thanksgiving in November 2016, when a median 35.1 million viewers tuned in for the Cowboys recreation in opposition to Washington.
This season's opener, a Thursday evening affair in opposition to the Tom Brady-led Tampa Bay Buccaneers, attracted 24.4 million viewers on NBC Sports activities. It was the most-watched kickoff recreation since 2015. CBS mentioned the Cowboys contest in opposition to Brady's outdated group, the New England Patriots, averaged 23.2 million viewers final week, the most-watched nationwide recreation for the community since 2015.
"In the event that they're in rivalry for the division and make the postseason, [the Cowboys will] collect an even bigger viewers," mentioned Pilson.
The Cowboys' star gamers are cashing in on the publicity.
Prescott took a 20% stake in sports-theme bar and eatery Stroll-Ons earlier this yr, to go together with $10 million in off-field endorsements, third-highest amongst NFL gamers, in response to Forbes. He trails solely Tremendous Bowl-winning quarterbacks Brady ($31 million) and Patrick Mahomes ($22 million) of the Kansas Metropolis Chiefs.
Former quarterbacks Aikman and Tony Romo are lead NFL announcers for Fox and CBS, respectively. Irvin works for ESPN. Smith was with the NFL Community and nonetheless has offers with firms like Marriott.
"They profit from that model," mentioned Schauder. "Sponsors and endorsers search for gamers who get probably the most publicity."
Then there's actuality TV. The Cowboys have been showcased on HBO's "Onerous Knocks," an annual sequence that follows a group via coaching camp and the pre-season. Cowboys cheerleaders even have a present on Nation Music Tv.
"One other group does not get that media deal," Schauder mentioned, referring to the cheerleaders' present.

Are the Cowboys nonetheless America's Group?
On the sphere, the Cowboys nonetheless have every thing to show.
Throughout the group's 25-year championship drought, Brady led the Patriots to 9 Tremendous Bowls and delivered seven championships, together with for the Buccaneers final season. The Steelers have gained two titles since dealing with the Cowboys in 1996. The Denver Broncos made 4 appearances and gained three Tremendous Bowls throughout that span.
The Patriots have appeared in a document 11 Tremendous Bowls, adopted by the Cowboys, Steelers and Broncos at eight.
Schauder, who admitted to being a transformed Cowboys fan, says there's nonetheless one thing distinctive about Dallas.
"It is an iconic model," he mentioned. "They're nonetheless America's Group as a result of that is how they have been branded. "Different groups have tried to say it, just like the Steelers."
Following this week's bye, the Cowboys are again in motion subsequent week in opposition to the Minnesota Vikings on NBC's Sunday Night time Soccer. After that, they nonetheless have their annual showcase on Thanksgiving and two extra evening video games in December.
Successful certain helps, however it doesn't matter what followers throughout the nation tune into watch the Cowboys.
"On the finish of the day, Dallas will nonetheless get extra prime-time spots than some other group," Schauder mentioned.

Healthy and delicious baked fish Moroccan style! A recipe that will become part of your family menu!
1- Place all the charmoula ingredients in a blender and mix until well integrated. You should get a smooth thick marinade.
1- We are using a whole fish (of course the inside of it is cleaned up and the fish scales are scraped. Also make sure the eye of the fish is removed as it adds a little bitter taste of the dish).
2- Make a deep cut in each side of the fish. Use the sharp pointy edge of the knife to stab the inside of the fish, so the marinade gets inside.
3- Take ½ of the charmoula marinade and pour all over the fish. Make sure that the fish is completely covered with the marinade.
4- Place the fish in a baking pan.
1- Cut the tomatoes in half. Grate the inside part of the tomatoes using the large "eyes" of the grater. Discard the tomato skin.
2- Mix the grated tomatoes with the rest of the charmoula.
3- Pour the tomato mixture around the fish.
1- Preheat the oven to 360 F / 180 C.
2- Slice the lemon and tomato into thin slices.
3- Place the slices on top of the fish (alternating between a tomato slice and a lemon slice).
4- Pour whatever is left from the charmoula on top of the tomato and lemon slices.
5- Place the fish in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes or until done (you can test the fish meat, it should be cooked and soft). Do not overbake or the fish will become dry.


The Felt FR2W Disc is for women who race, or who approach every ride like there's a finish line at the end. This lively bike gets its juice from a lightweight, stiff carbon frame. Despite the low weight, the FR2 feels sturdy underneath you as you wind up to contest a sprint, or bounce on the pedals while muscling up a steep grade.
This disc-equipped version of the FR2 comes with an internally routed Shimano Ultegra Di2 electronic shifting drivetrain and remarkably good Ultegra-level 785 disc brakes (160mm rotor in the front; 140mm in the rear). Shifts come lickety-split, and the group, which is one of the best out there, makes this bike a strong value.
As the highest-end FRW bike, the FR2W Disc sits at a relatively reasonable $5,499. It's equipped with a full-carbon frame and fork, internally routed Shimano Ultegra Di2 electronic shifting, and disc brakes for powerfully smooth speed modulation. The FR2W is also available with rim brakes for $4,999. The FRW line includes 7 models and extends all the way down to an entry-level aluminum race bike with a Shimano Claris drivetrain for $799.
The FR2 Disc holds nothing back: It offers one of the most efficient options in shifting with the internally routed Shimano Di2 Ultegra electronic drivetrain, ultra-lightweight carbon in a stiff and sturdy frame geometry, and top-of-the-line hydraulic disc brakes. But if you're off the front, you won't need to slow down much anyway.
The FR2W Disc has DT Swiss tubeless-ready wheels with front and rear thru-axles and Vittoria Rubino Pro G+ 25c tires. You also get a nice handlebar, stem, and seatpost from 3T.
This is a lively bike that punches up hills and climbs. With a short head tube and steep seat tube, the FR2W forces you into a go-fast position. It's exactly what I like in a race bike.
We had several riders test the bike, and they agreed that its energetic ride is balanced by some nice damping characteristics—it quiets road chatter without feeling dull.
Although this lightweight bike is responsive, I rarely sensed that immediate pop of acceleration you feel on some race bikes. Still, the FR2 got up to top speed quickly enough and felt remarkably stable. It was easy to hold a line, and I felt comfortable cornering on it, even on twisty downhills. The easy-to-control disc brakes gave me even more confidence while descending, so I could carry more speed into corners and choose tighter lines. That made the bike feel even faster.
On a 90-mile group ride, the bike's made-for-speed focus became even clearer. The aggressive position can wear on you, and for some riders (I'm one of them) the 11-28t cassette lacked the extra gear I wanted to make long casual climbs more enjoyable. If you're looking for a fast bike for all-day rides, there are probably other options. But if you want a speedy women's race bike with disc brakes that's built to carry you across the finish line, this could be the one.

Q: How to pass a formula as a parameter to lm in sapply? It seems that lm won't take formula as a parameter when it is within a sapply.
Just lm
While lm alone accepts formula parameter FO well,
summary(lm(y ~ x, df1, df1[["z"]] == 1, df1[["w"]]))$coef[1, ]
summary(lm(FO, data, data[[st]] == st1, data[[ws]]))$coef[1, ]

lm in sapply
the same within a sapply
sapply(unique(df1$z), function(s)
  summary(lm(y ~ x, df1, df1[["z"]] == s, df1[[ws]]))$coef[1, ])
sapply(unique(data[[st]]), function(s)
  summary(lm(FO, data, data[[st]] == s, data[[ws]]))$coef[1, ])

causes the error:
 Error in eval(substitute(subset), data, env) : object 's' not found

When putting everything as parameter but formula FO it's still working:
sapply(unique(data[[st]]), function(s)
  summary(lm(y ~ x, data, data[[st]] == s, data[[ws]]))$coef[1, ])

lm in for loop
All parameters work within a for loop:
m <- matrix(NA, 4, length(unique(data[[st]])))
for (s in unique(data[[st]])) {
  m[, s] <- summary(lm(FO, data, data[[st]] == s, data[[ws]]))$coef[1, ]

A: This worked when I tried it. It seems like your use of x in the formula is interfering with the way you'd like the function to behave. Replacing this argument with num generates the results it sounds like you're looking for. This way it ensures that x in the formula refers to the dataset instead of the function argument.
sapply(unique(dat$z), function(num) summary(lm(y ~ x, dat, z == num))$coef[1, ])

A: Thanks to a hint from @David from R-help to try using do.call I could figure it out. The solution is:
sapply(unique(data[[st]]), function(s)

# Pr(>|t|)   0.3229600  0.8104951  0.996457853

Explanation: (credits to @Duncan from R-help) The caller of sapply might ignore the attached > environment(FO) # <environment: R_GlobalEnv> where the formula was created. This could be the reason why it works with do.call and an argument list.

This code contains basic function that will print and add a node in front of the pre-existing nodes.
My question is, why is the node not added?
I tried to print it, but it is not printing. Either the node is not added, or I could not make it print.
I made this function to add a new node. This function takes 2 parameters, one is a pointer of the head from the main function, and will keep going to the next value. I have allocated memory for the new node inside this function.
I tried to use the reference to the new node to bring it out of the scope, as the result keeps saying  newNode is not found in the main function. I thought it is out of the scope.
I tried double **p and it works fine.
My question is, head is already storing the address, so why pass the head from the main function to this one as a reference? Why make pointer to a pointer when we can just pass head without doing &head?

Joan Rivers remains in a medically induced coma since her admission to NYC's Mount Sinai Hospital last Friday. Rivers was taken there after suffering a cardiac arrest during a medical procedure on her vocal cords in a physician's office.
What is a medically induced coma?
A medically induced coma is when a patient receives a controlled dose of an anesthetic to cause a temporary coma or a deep state of unconsciousness. The objective is to give enough medication to significantly slow brain wave activity. Drugs used include pentobarbital, thiopental, or the drug of Michael Jackson fame, propofol.
This type of coma is typically used to protect the brain from swelling. The brain swelling may be caused by injury (such as was the case for Gabby Giffords) or after brain surgery. Being in a coma reduces the blood flow through the brain as well as metabolic rate of brain tissue.
When in a medically induced coma, a patient's vital signs must be constantly monitored by an anesthesiologist or other physician. Patients are usually intubated and ventilated (this means that a tube is placed in the windpipe and a machine breathes for you). This is done only in a critical care setting.
Why would doctors use them after cardiac arrest?
According to Dr. Bradley Flansbaum, a physician at Lenox Hill Hospital in NYC, a medically induced coma slows the body down to minimize damage to the brain and other vital organs.


Organized by ScratchEd Team at Harvard G.
ScratchEd Meetups are peer-designed professional learning experiences inspired by the unconference model. This means that at any given event, you decide what your learning looks like! At a Meetup, you can share, create, and learn with other educators who are also passionate about teaching with Scratch in the classroom. Anyone who is interested in connecting with fellow educators and learning more about using Scratch in educational settings is welcome to participate.
Sound intriguing? We hope to see you soon!
Scratch Educator Meetup. Explore Scratch for teachers. New members welcome!
Join us for a Scratch Educator Meetup on Saturday October 6 at Centro! The Meetup is free. What's a Scratch Educator Meetup? Scratch: a free tool for exploring computational creativity by programming interactive media (like stories, games, animations, and art) and sharing those creations with others online, used by millions of people all around the world. Scratch Educator: a teacher who wants to support computational creativity in the classroom and beyond, helping learners—from elementary school to high school, across curricular areas and settings—imagine, program, and share with Scratch. Scratch Educator Meetup: a gathering of Scratch Educators who want to learn with and from each other, sharing their ideas and strategies for supporting computational creativity in all its forms. What will we be doing at the Meetup? If you're new to the Meetup format, here's what they are and how they work. Meetups are informal gatherings for educators who work with (or are interested in working with Scratch—that is, no experience necessary and new Scratchers are most welcome!). The Meetups are organized into three parts: 1. We start by getting to know fellow attendees and sharing what people want to explore. 2. We collaboratively decide how to structure our learning and then form small groups based on our different interests. Maybe you want to have a discussion about classroom strategies or get more practice with Scratch—or something else entirely. Feel free to move between groups if the session that you're in isn't working for you. 3. We gather as a whole group for lunch and group sharing. You might pose a question to discuss with the group, or share something from your classroom. This is a great time to inspire and be inspired. What should I bring? Curiosity. And a laptop that supports Flash will be helpful for the hands-on activities. If you're new to Scratch, you can check it out at http://scratch.mit.edu We look forward to meeting up with you!
