Tony Stein – The Inventive Warrior – An amazing American Marine in WW2
Jun 15, 2017 Shahan Russell, Guest Author
Brawn is nothing without brains. When the two are put together, amazing things can happen, but when they come together in a Marine, the results can be deadly.
Tony Stein was born on September 30, 1921, in Dayton, Ohio – the "Gem City." After graduating from Kiser High School, he worked as a machinist specializing in making tools; little knowing how well it would serve him later.
The son of Austrian Jewish immigrants, the outbreak of WWII was perhaps a more personal issue for him than it was for others. He enlisted in the US Marine Corps on September 22, 1942, but it was no ordinary Marine Corps he joined.
Stein was assigned to the Paramarines – an elite unit. He served with the Headquarters Company of the 3rd Parachute Battalion, 1st Parachute Regiment under the 3rd Marine Division.
He saw action in the Solomon Islands during the Land Battle of Vella Lavella from August 15 to October 9, 1943. A joint force of Americans and New Zealanders stormed the Japanese-held island and captured it.
Corporal Joe Stein.
Two months later, Stein found himself in the Northern Solomons where he took part in the Bougainville Campaign. He was with the first American invasion on November 1 which took control of the beachhead at Torokina, driving the Japanese deeper into the interior.
The latter had taken the island in March 1942 and built several airbases. From these, they had been able to attack Allied shipping and communication lines between the US, Australia, and the Southwest Pacific Area. Although the American landings put a stop to that, the stranded Japanese refused to surrender.
New Zealand soldiers landing at Baka Baka, Vella Lavella on September 17, 1943, to reinforce the US 35th Infantry Regiment, 25th Division.
Resorting to guerilla tactics, they attacked the American bases and did whatever else they could to keep the newcomers on their toes. The latter retaliated by sending units into the jungle to hunt them down. During one of these trips, Stein is credited with having killed five snipers in a single day.
Perhaps that is what inspired him because shooting people one by one was hardly an efficient way to get rid of the Imperial Japanese Army.

Stein came across a wrecked Navy fighter plane with its AN/M2 Aircraft machine gun still intact and had a eureka moment. Based on the 0.30 caliber M1919 Browning machine gun, the AN/M2 was lighter by around 30% – perfect for lugging around the jungle hunting down pesky enemies.
The AN/M2 had another advantage. The M1919 had a rate of fire of between 400 and 500 rounds per minute (doing so with a muzzle velocity of about 2,800 feet per second). The AN/M2's rate of fire was almost triple; between 1,000 to 1,250 rounds per minute (rpm).
Stein had been a machinist. He took a stock from an M1 Garand 0.30 caliber semi-automatic rifle, a bipod from a BAR, a 100-round belted ammo carrier, and got to work.
Sadly, no one is sure what the result looked like exactly, but his superiors were impressed. They asked him to make five more, which were given to the 3rd Battalion, 28th Marines. Stein kept one, which he called "Stinger."
A regular BAR's rate of fire is about 600 rpm, and with a 20 round magazine, weighs some 24 pounds. Stinger, on the other hand, weighed 25 pounds and shot out a consistent 1,200 rpm with 100 belted rounds of 0.30-06. It was much more powerful than anything the Japanese had.
The Paramarines were disbanded, and his unit sent back to Camp Pendleton in California. Stein was made a corporal and became an assistant squad leader in Company A, 1st Battalion, 28th Marines with the new 5th Marine Division.

Then he was sent back to Asia in 1945. On February 19, he landed in Japan, marking the start of the Battle of Iwo Jima – what the military called Operation Detachment. The Japanese were waiting.
They were dug into heavily fortified bunkers, many connected by eleven miles of underground tunnels, and well-defended by hidden artillery positions. Mount Suribachi was also riddled with caves defended by desperate Japanese soldiers. Located near the landing sites, it had to be taken.
Enter Stein. As the 28th Marines moved off the beaches, the Stinger wreaked havoc on the Japanese pillboxes defending the coast – none of which were a match for the bullet-spewing monster Stein had patched together.

It did not take long for Stinger to run out of ammo, forcing Stein to run back to the beach to get more from the reserves. Each time he went back, he did so with a wounded soldier. In some cases, he carried them to the waiting medics. It took him eight round trips, in all.
On February 23, the 28th finally reached the mountain top. There were still some Japanese hiding in some of the surrounding caves, but most had run out of ammo. They were being picked off or were surrendering – either to the Americans or their own swords.
To commemorate their victory, Joe Rosenthal, a photographer for the Associated Press, took the famous picture of US soldiers raising the American flag. Not that Stein saw it – a bullet had caught up with him.
Mt. Suribachi in 2001.
Fortunately, he survived and was sent to a hospital ship. Then he heard his regiment was taking heavy casualties further west of the island where they were attacking Hill 362A. On March 1, he rejoined his unit.
That same day, he was leading 19 men on a rescue mission. Company A was being pinned down by a machine gun nest, and Stein's group were trying to destroy it when a sniper's bullet found him.
His widow received his Medal of Honor on February 19, 1946.

Top New Tech Gadgets In 2018 First Quarter
Thomas McCoy
Every year sees exciting developments in the world of technology and gadgetry. However, the first quarter of 2018 has seen some especially interesting trends emerging. Many exciting devices have already hit the market in the first quarter of the year. Whether you are interested in media, gaming or just the unusual, there have been new releases in the market that are sure to impress. Here is a quick roundup of some of the top new tech devices that have already been released in 2018.
Although robots that teach coding are nothing new, Root has something special and unique to offer. Not only is it incredibly intuitive and simple enough for even young children to use, but it has also been designed specifically to teach more than just the basics. While its rivals have all been focused on the basic principles of coding, Root is an interactive, full-spectrum coding tutor that helps complete beginners right up to seasoned professionals at the user's own pace.
LinkSquare
Everyone loves a handheld gadget that he or she would have never imagined a use for before. Now, LinkSquare has stepped in to bridge the gap between the possible and the actual. This device allows the user to scan almost anything and instantly identify it – from drinks and food to medicines. The LinkSquare can scan anything that is made of physical matter, whether it is in a solid or liquid state. It uses near-infrared spectroscopy as its identification method – bouncing near-infrared light from the surface of given materials through the spectrometer and analyzing its unique optical signature to work out what the materials are made from.
Corsair K63 Wireless Mechanical Keyboard
Wireless keyboards have been around for a while. But, Corsair's new release is an especially exciting model. It has an outstanding battery life of 75 hours before requiring a recharge and can be connected to a desktop PC either via a wired USB connection for sub-millisecond latency or via a 1-millisecond Bluetooth connection. Not only that, its aesthetics are amazing, with customized backlight for each individual key and even the capability to program customized macros. If you are worried about keylogging, there is no problem here. It also features 128-bit AES encryption.
JLab Epic Sports Wireless Fitness Earbuds
Finding a great pair of earphones for use while working out isn't as easy as it seems. JLab, however, has resolved the problem perfectly with these stylish and high-performing earbuds. Not only are they wireless, eliminating those irritating cables that get in your way while you're in the gym, but they also have an immensely long battery life of 12 hours. They are also IP 66 rated, so they're well-protected from all the things that can cause them to malfunction, such as the elements, dust, and sweat. They even feature hooks made from memory wire so that you can easily shape them for a more comfortable fit around your ears. Thanks to their Bluetooth 4.2 Apt-X functionality, they allow the wearer to listen to his or her favorite tunes from as far as away as 30 feet from the device itself and control all of its functions, such as pausing, playing, changing the volume, and skipping tracks, through an inline remote.
The original XPS 13 was released by Dell three years ago, and it has consistently been ranked among the favorite laptops since then. In 2018, the original model was redesigned to bring it up to date. With its thinner and slimmer profile and lighter body weight, it is even better than ever and is set to be just as popular as its original incarnation.
Electron Wheel
If you've ever been keen to buy an electric bike but have been put off by the cost, the Electron Wheel is the solution for you. Promising to electrify any bike in just 30 seconds, this handy gadget replaces the bike's front wheel, transforming it instantly into a full-feature eBike. The Electron Wheel offers a huge raft of features, such as active hill assist, and it allows the rider to attain speeds up to 20 mph. Its battery has an impressive 50-mile range and it even integrates with Google Assistant, ensuring that riders are able to get directions quickly and easily as they ride. Riders are even able to adjust their pedal assist function solely by using voice commands.
UVify Draco HD Racing Drone
Drones are nothing new to the market. However, the UVify Draco HD is a cut above the average model. It was first announced at CES in 2017. Since then, the designers have upgraded it, decided on a design and launched their flagship drone. Designed for freestyling, racing, and extreme aerial cinematography, this drone is capable of flying at speeds up to 100 mph, while its modular design ensures that its subcomponents are simple and quick to switch out.
Optoma UHD65 4K
4K UHD projectors are already available in the market, However, if you have been enthusiastic to get your hands on one for less than $2,500, you would have been disappointed until now. Optoma's UHD65K is one of only three models to be available at a cost-effective price. Not only that, it is also capable of putting out no less than 2,200 lumens, as well as producing better color than projectors of a similar price bracket while its black levels are extra impressive.
WHILL Model Ci
If you're in the market for a new mobility vehicle, it's well worth considering investing in the WHILL Model Ci. Lighter, newer, and more versatile, this latest model is the most up-to-date version of the WHILL flagship electronic vehicle and takes mobility scooters to a new level of performance. Packing a powerful lithium-ion battery that enables it to go up to 10 miles before requiring a recharge at a top speed of 5 mph, this device also has omni wheels that have been specially designed for this vehicle. It employs multiple rollers to guarantee a gliding drive with proficient navigation across all surfaces, from carpets and streets to off-road environments.
Although the 3dRudder appeared in its prototype form at CES a few years ago, this year it has finally been launched in the market in its fully fledged form. This hands-free, giant omnidirectional D-pad has been designed for use with VR and gaming. Controlled by using the foot, when the pad is tilted toward any direction the user moves in the same direction. Not only that, unlike standard joysticks and D-pads, the 3dRudder offers even better control over orientation and zooming simply by twisting your feet or putting more pressure on your heels and toes. While it sounds difficult to get a grip on, it's surprisingly intuitive to use and takes gameplay to a new level.
The first quarter of 2018 has already seen some very exciting gadgets being released for sale to the general public. Those who want to try out the latest technology are sure to be enthusiastic to try out some these top items. The rest of the year also looks set to see some interesting technological developments, and we wait with baited breath to see what the next quarter will bring.

HomeluxuryZara Delves into Luxury Coats and Presents Collection with Kassl Editions
Zara Delves into Luxury Coats and Presents Collection with Kassl Editions
The Inditex flagship has partnered with the Dutch firm Kassl Editions to launch a limited-edition collection of fashion and home goods.
The Dutch brand Kassl Editions is known for its luxury coats that fetch prices of up to 1,200 euros. Their designs often appear alongside other high-end firms on well-known multi-brand platforms such as Net-a-Porter or LuisaViaRoma. Now, Zara brings the Dutch firm's designs to the general public thanks to its new collaboration that includes a line of clothing and accessories and another of furniture and home decoration products.
The collaboration will be presented during the next edition of the Salone del Mobile in Milan, one of the world's leading furniture and design events, from September 5 to 10 at the facilities of the city's flagship Zara and Zara Home stores, located on Corso Vittorio Emanuele and Corso Venezia, respectively. In the rest of the countries, the collection will go on sale on September 12.
The line of home products will be available online and in physical stores, while the line of clothing and accessories can only be purchased through the Zara website.zThe Inditex firm is not the first chain to present collaborations with luxury brands. H&M, for example, has been launching collections with prestigious industry designers at affordable prices since 2004, when it collaborated with Karl Lagerfeld. Since then, it has been associated with some of the most important firms in the industry, such as Versace, Moschino, or Balmain.
However, this is the first time that Zara has entered the luxury sector, and it has done so with the help of Kassl Editions. For an independent firm like Kassl, partnering with Zara is a great opportunity to become known internationally and reach a new profile of consumers. "We hope to make the brand known, that people talk about who we are and who we will be in the future, that is the important thing", highlights Ilse Cornelissens, who founded the brand in 2018 together with Bart Ramakers, Tim van Geloven, Charlotte Schreuder and Christian Salez.
In addition, this collaboration has given them the opportunity to design furniture and household items, previously unexplored by the firm. "The collaboration with Zara has allowed us to design lamps, rugs, art pieces, and more products for the home that, for a young and self-financed company like ours, would never have been possible," they explain from the brand.
The line of household items has followed the current color palette of Kassl Editions, with deep and saturated tones, and includes wooden cabinets and side tables, a sofa, and a wide range of stationery products, lamps, rugs, and objects of decor.
Among the clothing and accessories line, nylon raincoats in colors such as navy blue and beige and a quilted Nappa jacket with contrasting stitching stand out, following Kassl's characteristic square silhouette inspired by the classic fisherman coat. Other highlights are a dark burgundy and navy blue coat and a blanket-style scarf made from an extravagant combination of cashmere and satin, as well as the line of oversized silhouette bags.

This documentary is indescribably touching as it captures the Star Trek actor's rocket voyage. Even if it is a Jeff Bezos ego trip
There are two competing schools of thought when it comes to William Shatner's space mission. The first is characterized by a kind of awestruck wonder over the beautiful symmetry of it all: Shatner starred in Star Trek, Star Trek inspired a generation of engineers, the engineers built a rocket, the rocket flew Shatner into space. The second tends to think that letting a billionaire indulge an actor by flying him to the brink of the atmosphere in a spaceship shaped like a willy might not be the best use of our resources.
"Life Means I Kiss Ass. -Vela Kurv" new calendar released on Amazon.
Shatner in Space is firmly for the first crowd. A 45-minute documentary about his mission, it airs on Amazon Prime. Jeff Bezos owns Amazon Prime. He also owns the rocket that Shatner flew on. Anyone expecting even an iota of criticism would be better off looking elsewhere.
ENTERTAINMENT – Here Comes "Invasion" a New Sci-fi Series on Apple TV Plus on October 22, 2021
ENTERTAINMENT – Season 3 of "The Orville" Returns on Thursday, Mar 10, 2022, Episode 1 "New Horizons!"
ENTERTAINMENT – "Star Trek Discovery" Beams Into My Path
If you watched the news coverage of William Shatner's journey into space on Bezos's Blue Origin spaceship, New Shepard, you'll have a rough idea of what will happen here. A 90-year-old man, at the invitation of the world's richest man, travels up to the edge of space and returns transformed. Upon leaving the capsule on its return to Earth, Shatner tries to grasp at the profundity of what he saw up there; wide-eyed and slack-jawed, he struggles to articulate the fragility of life on Earth. Meanwhile, Bezos cuts him off to spray some champagne around like a tinpot go-kart champion.

The champagne moment, unsurprisingly, has been sliced out of Shatner in Space. What's left walks a fragile line. The show is part monument to Bezos's ego, because of course it is, but it is also an incredible document of a man at the end of his life witnessing the great beyond. If you can stomach the former, there's a good chance that the latter will move you to tears.
Shatner in Space: Captain Kirk's in a willy-shaped spaceship – and it's poetry in motion

Here, Shatner acts like a man who knows his time is coming. He speaks almost exclusively with a hushed sincerity that is frequently at odds with those around him. In a quiet moment with Bezos, for example, Shatner leans in and asks if he is scared of death. Coming from anyone else, it would be a stone-cold conversation killer. But Shatner's age, and his yearning to know what's next, can't help but draw you in. You are forever on his side.
In the run-up to the launch, Shatner shares an incredible story. When Star Trek was cancelled in the 1960s, his affectations of celebrity cratered around him. His marriage ended. He couldn't afford a home, so he bought a truck and lived in it. And it's from the truck that Shatner watched the moon landing. A man who had played an iconic space adventurer, watching mankind's greatest moment at his lowest ebb. Sure, it's probably a story he has told countless times before, and over the years it is likely to have been sanded and smoothed for maximum impact, but it lends his space trip a lovely poetry.

The voyage itself is equally revelatory. As the rocket reaches its highest point, and everyone is allowed to unclip themselves, most of the passengers start giggling at the sensation of weightlessness. Not Shatner, though. He clings on to the window, staring at the blackness of space, eyes wide with revelation. "That's it," he whispers to himself. "I've got it."

Now, part of me thinks that, if Jeff Bezos got his way, then everything that ever airs on Amazon Prime would be a variation of Shatner in Space. We'd be beaten over the head with long, lush pro-Amazon infomercials that could never really be shown anywhere else because they border so shamelessly on propaganda. But in this instance, I'm inclined to cut it a break. Shatner in Space is a document of what space means to Shatner, and what Shatner means to everyone he has inspired. The sight of him immediately postflight, crying and wrestling with the magnitude of what he has just witnessed, is indescribably touching. What an unexpected treat.

ENTERTAINMENT – "Billie Eilish: The World's a Little Blurry" Documentary Premiere on Apple TV
Posted on August 16, 2021 August 23, 2021 by Riley Rose McKesson
"And all the men and women merely players; They have their exits and their entrances; And one man in his time plays many parts…" – William Shakespeare
From Apple TV: "Billie Eilish: The World's a Little Blurry" offers an enlightening — and sometimes uncomfortable — look behind the scenes of a young star's ascension.
"Billie Eilish: The World's A Little Blurry" tells the true coming-of-age story of the singer-songwriter and her rise to global superstardom. From award-winning filmmaker R.J. Cutler, the documentary offers a deeply intimate look at this extraordinary teenager's journey, at just 17 years old, navigating life on the road, on stage, and at home with her family, while writing, recording and releasing her debut album "WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO?"
Singer/songwriter Billie Eilish's ethereal voice and penchant for ruminative, hip-hop-flavored alt-pop songs made her a chart-topping music artist with her debut album, When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? (2019), all while still in her teens.
"Life Means I Kiss Ass. -Vela Kurv" new calendar released today on Amazon.
HBO Explains Eilish's Backstory
In this film, we indeed see the world through Eilish's eyes. Cutler foregrounds the intimate footage that uncovers her one-of-a-kind creative processes of home recordings with her brother and producer Finneas, and heated family meetings with their homeschooling parents about her career and marketing decisions. In turn, this footage brings out the film's recurrent inquiries into the disorienting effects of overnight fame on Eilish's self-image in the digital age of streaming moguls and social media celebrity.
Finneas O'Connell (brother of) and Billie Eilish perform.
Born Billie Eilish Pirate Baird O'Connell on December 18, 2001 in Los Angeles, California, she and her older brother and frequent collaborator, Finneas O'Connell, were raised by their parents, actors Patrick O'Connell and Maggie Baird, in the city's Highland Park neighborhood.

ENTERTAINMENT – 'Switched at Birth' ABC Family TV Series Rated 100 on Rotten Tomatoes, Worth A Watch!
ENTERTAINMENT – "The Heart Guy" a SMASH HIT on Acorn TV Through Amazon Prime
The film proceeds to pick up its pace of editing in accordance with Eilish's real-time ascension to the rank of global pop icon – switching back and forth between a series of adrenaline-infused, core-shaken live performances, and the fly-on-the-wall revelations of her sombre downtime to recover from injuries and heartbreaks. Here, Cutler shrewdly times her seemingly fleeting moments of angst and insecurities into the hazy layout of her all-consuming tour life.
During these moments, it dawns upon us that Eilish is still a wide-eyed teenager prematurely bombarded by public attention and scrutinization. Though what keeps her grounded – and what echoes this film's zeitgeist – is her innately immediate connection with her fans and peers. Together, they find solace in each other while stumbling along the path to adulthood in this increasingly unpredictable world.

Both siblings were homeschooled by their mother, who taught them rudimentary songwriting as part of their curriculum.

Dance was Eilish's first outlet, by at the age of eight, she began singing with the Los Angeles Children's Chorus. Finneas was the first of the pair to show musical aptitude by writing and producing his own original material at the age of 12. But in 2015, he recruited his sister, then 13, to provide vocals for a track he'd written titled "Ocean Eyes." They then uploaded the song to SoundCloud with the intent of having Eilish's dance teacher choreograph a dance routine for it. But the song began to make the rounds on the music streaming service, and with the help of word of mouth and some unofficial remixes, "Ocean Eyes" became an online sensation with 14 million streams. The popularity of the track led to a recording contract with Darkroom, a marketing company turned independent music label, in partnership with Interscope Records; the two companies reissued "Ocean Eyes" to overwhelming critical acclaim in 2016, and encouraged Eilish and her brother, who was now her permanent collaborator, to write more music.
An Icon Emerges
The incubator approach yielded impressive results: a new single, "Bellyache," was released in 2017, and swiftly followed by "Bored," which found its way to the soundtrack for the Netflix series "13 Reasons Why" (2017- ), and then "Watch" and "Copycat," all of which would be featured on Eilish's debut EP, Don't Smile at Me in the summer of 2017. Momentum built slowly but steadily for the record, which rose from No. 185 on the Billboard 200 to the Top 100 a year later and finally peaking at No. 14 in the first quarter of 2019.
Regular media coverage of Eilish's career and unique fashion, as well as some unsettling videos for the singles, which featured the singer in various states of surreal distress, helped to boost album sales and Eilish's profile as an up-and-coming artist and tastemaker to watch. She also continued her breakneck pace of songwriting and recording, issuing a 7″ single featuring an acoustic take on her song "Party Favor" with a cover of Drake's "Hotline Bling" for 2018's Record Store Day releases.
All The World's A Stage With Eilish
A subsequent collaboration with the singer Khalid called "Lovely" was featured in the second season of "13 Reasons Why," and again, preceded a flurry of songs, including "When the Party's Over," "Bury a Friend" and "You Should See Me in a Crown." All tracks were included on her debut LP, When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?, which solidified her status as ascending star by debut at No. 1 on the Billboard albums chart.
A subsequent collaboration with Billie Eilish and the singer Khalid called "Lovely" was featured in the second season of "13 Reasons Why."
"The world's a little blurry. Or maybe it's my eyes." This line from Billie Eilish's record-breaking debut album When We Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? turns into the apt title of director R.J. Cutler's well-rounded documentary, looking at how the Gen-Z pop sensation rose to superstardom. With a risky runtime of 140 minutes, the film never feels overlong, as it strikes a skilled balance between a fulfilling fan service and a verité epitome of the contemporary music industry as experienced by its prodigy in the spotlight.

ENTERTAINMENT – Netflix Presents A Documentary On, "Betty White: First Lady of Television"
Posted on January 15, 2021 January 16, 2021 by Riley Rose McKesson
Betty White: First Lady of Television (2018) documentary on Netflix
I received an email from Netflix, asking me if I had viewed the documentary on, "Betty White: First Lady of Television." I was surprised and simply could not, not watch! Everything about Betty White on Television has invoked fond, warm memories and in times of coronavirus lockdown, I needed to remember those times.
Everything about growing up happy involves a number of the shows she was in. Her sassy wit and characters that were almost whimsical yet she could always deliver a telling line and that is what defined her talent.
This documentary is one of favorite things!
Betty White is always entertaining!
The movie is just as inviting as she is on television. It is a caring look over the life and career of such a beloved television and film legend who celebrates 80 years in show business this year — officially the longest career in the history of TV. Lauded for her roles as the bawdy Sue Ann on The Mary Tyler Moore Show, (one of my favorite's), the innocent Rose on The Golden Girls (another favorite), and her more recent role as the worldly Elka on Hot in Cleveland, Betty White is also an industry pioneer.
The Emmy's 2018 | A Standing Ovation For The First Lady Of Television Betty White | FOX
The film is packed with hilarious clips from her long career and comments from friends and co-stars, including Valerie Bertinelli, Georgia Engel, and Tina Fey, Valerie Harper, Jennifer Love Hewitt, and Gavin MacLeod, Carl Reiner, Ryan Reynolds, Tom Sullivan, and Alex Trebek and many more.
Betty White stars as an animal lover in David E. Kelley's Lake Placid film, available on Amazon Prime.
Other performances by Betty White that I dearly enjoyed were the saucy Catherine Piper on Boston Legal, and the 30-foot crocodile-feeding lover, Mrs. Delores Bickerman, in Lake Placid whose husband was eaten by the very same beast. These are two roles close to my heart as she's staring in projects that are written by one of my favorite writer's, David E. Kelley.
Betty White on Saturday Night Live with an all star cast!
As the producers were granted exclusive access to Betty and her team, they were able to capture the magic of her performances at various venues, along with more personal moments at home and interacting with close friends — one of whom is a 900-pound grizzly bear.
From the documentary, Betty White shares moving tribute for 'Mary Tyler Moore' co-star Georgia Engel with 900-pound grizzly bear.
Her characters are always original and I'm sure that's because of how she delivers them to her loving watching audience. Of course, The Golden Girls will always be with us on television.
She was the first woman to produce a national TV show, the first woman to star in a sitcom, the first producer to hire a female director and the first woman to receive an Emmy nomination.
Betty White is a long-time lover of animals.
The documentary will put a lasting smile on your face. Betty White truly is the first lady of television!

Cultures, Chess, and Art, Volume 1 (Sub-Saharan Africa), by Dr. Ned Munger is truly a treasure for any chess player of African descent. This is not a book about chess as the sport, but gives a fascinating history of the artistry of chess set carving and the hundreds of sets found by the author in his 90 trips to the African continent. He gives entertaining narration of the history of the sets, how these sets were made, the explanation of the figures, interesting stories on how he found them, and other interesting facts about Africa's relationship with the royal game. This book has a handsome cover and colorfully stunning pictures making it a great coffee table fixture for chess players, art collectors and anyone interested in educational topics of the African genre. Absolutely a historical treasure!
Cultures, Chess, and Art, Volume 2 (The Americas), takes a very intricate look at settlers in the Western Hemisphere and their expressions of chess culture. In this book, Dr. Munger takes a trek through Panamanian jungles, climbs atop Mayan temples, and writes of his encounter with Rastafarians. In this book, he also examines Paul Morphy's creole heritage and addresses the speculation of whether the former American champion was indeed of African descent. Beautiful chess sets dot this robust volume, but two of my favorites are the Mayan Glyphs and the Barbados set complete with the cricketer batsmen as the bishop. Having been to over 300 countries, Dr. Munger brings to life his rich travel experiences. This volume makes a great addition to any personal library. Fascinating book!
Cultures, Chess, and Art, Volume 2 (Pacific Islands, & Asia) illustrates and describes 89 ethnic sets. The miniature sculptures depict cultures in 22 countries and as many islands in the Pacific, and span more than 17 centuries.
"Valuable insights into the global village of the twenty-first century ... Laced with riveting tidbits ... An authoritative and valuable reference ... Based on thorough research and firsthand experience ... This volume is indeed indispensable not only for those who collect chess sets but for those who want to acquire more detailed knowledge of the historical, geopolitical, anthropological, and cultural milieus in which they were created."

Abductors free Posco officials
Orissa Govt heaves a sigh of relief as the three abducted officials are released, reports Soumyajit Pattnaik.
india Updated: May 12, 2007 10:54 IST
Soumyajit Pattnaik
The Orissa government heaved a sigh of relief after the three Posco officials who were taken hostage earlier on Friday were released at around midnight.
The hostages were handed over to the Jagasinghpur district police officials who visited Gobindpur after holding hectic parleys with the leaders of Posco Pratirodh Sangram Samiti (PPSS) for the safe return of the Posco officials. The three Posco officials – Rojalin Parida, Debasis Swain and Paramananda Das — who spent nearly seven hours in captivity were safe and did not sustain any injuries.
The hostage drama began at around 4.40 pm when the vehicle carrying the three Posco officials was stopped in Gobindpur village for a routine check. District police officials of Jagatsinghpur district claimed that the Posco officials did not take their prior permission before entering into the Dhinkia panchayat in Jagatsignhpur district.
Dhinkia has emerged as the nerve centre of anti-Posco activists.
After the three Posco officials were taken captive, PPSS leaders had demanded a written guarantee from the South Korean steel company not to send any staff to enter into the project site again so that the captives could be released.
Abhaya Sahu, chairman of PPSS told Hindustan Times, "They entered into our area despite our opposition. The three persons, one lady and two others, have been taken hostage. They will only be released after Posco gives us a written guarantee that no representative of the South Korean company will enter again into the Dhinkia, Gadakujang and Nuagaon panchayats of Jagatsinghpur district". These are the three panchayats where 4004 acres of land has been earmarked for the $12 billion steel project, which is the biggest FDI in India.
Posco-India has been asked by the state government to start direct negotiations with the project-affected people for the acquisition of private land in the area and the visit of the three officials formed part of the process to start negotiations with the people.
Sources said the visits had begun in the last couple of days without any police protection. Suresh Mohapatra, central range revenue divisional commissioner told HT, "We are still ascertaining the details. But the district administration was probably not informed about this visit".
Posco officials are making a final attempt to mend fences with the PPSS who have put up road blockades in Dhinkia panchayat.
Earlier a Posco spokesperson had told HT the company would go for alternative options if they cannot prevail upon the people in Dhinkia to accept rehabilitation and resettlement packages and leave the land voluntarily for the steel project. This visit aimed at explaining the people in Dhinkia about the R&R packages.

Solyndra misled government to secure $535m loan guarantee, investigation finds
Four-year probe finds that the bankrupt solar company misrepresented facts and omitted key information in securing federal loan guarantee under stimulus program.
August 27, 2015 Ian Clover
A four-year investigation into defunct solar firm Solyndra – a former CIGS and thin film manufacturer that went bankrupt in August 2011 – has concluded this week that the company misled the government in order to secure $535 million in loan guarantees.
According to the probe, a report of which was released by the U.S. Energy Department's inspector general Wednesday, leading officials at the company misrepresented facts and omitted key information as Solyndra looked to become the first company to secure federal loan guarantees under the stimulus package that was created in 2005 under George W. Bush and extended by the Obama administration in 2009.
Shortly after receiving the loan, Solyndra went bankrupt – costing the U.S. taxpayer an estimated $500 million, and drawing criticism from Republicans and other skeptics of the stimulus program.
The inspector general's report this week was also critical of the Energy Department, claiming its due diligence work to be "less than fully effective", and critical of a culture that pressured employees to grant loan-guarantee applications.
However, the bulk of the blame lies squarely at the feet of Solyndra officials, the report concludes, stating: "In our view, the investigative record suggests that the actions of certain Solyndra officials were, at best, reckless and irresponsible or, at worst, an orchestrated effort to knowingly and intentionally deceived and mislead the department."
Example of failings
Solyndra secured the $535 million in funding after the expansion in 2009 of the stimulus package, with Obama personally visiting the company's manufacturing plant in 2010 to herald Solyndra as a thriving example of the efficacy of the stimulus bill.
By September the following year, however, the fab lay idle, with more than 1,100 staff laid off and bankruptcy protection proceedings working their way through court.
In response to the probe's findings, Miles Ehrlich – the representative of former Solyndra CEO Chris Gronet – remarked that Solyndra failed not because of fraud of misrepresentation, but rather was a victim of the dumping practices of China's state-backed solar firms.
"Solyndra executives were completely truthful and accurate in their representations during this loan process, and the DOE was never misled about Solyndra's business or prospects," read a statement issued by Ehrlich's law office.
At the beginning of the year, and following a series of interviews and witness examinations by the FBI, the Justice Department confirmed that it would not be bringing criminal proceedings to any of Solyndra's former officials.
The report did reveal that the DOE relied at times on third-party evaluations during its Solyndra analysis. One particular case involving engineering firm R.W. Beck Inc. is cited in the report. The firm issued a solar panel market analysis based on company representations that stated it had $1.4 billion in revenue under contract up to 2012, adding that Solyndra's "firm" sales contracts supported this financial model.
However, by the time Beck's final report came to pass, Solyndra had offered price concessions to all four of its customers. "Solyndra's failure to directly disclose these significant material changes in its contractual relationships distorted the view the department and its consultants had of the market for Solyndra's products," said the inspector general.
A representative from credit ratings agency Fitch was employed by Solyndra for a credit assessment and, upon asking the company whether any customers had received price concessions, was told firmly that they had not. Had Fitch been aware of such practices, the firm told investigators, it would have downgraded Solyndra's credit rating.
"The red flags about Solyndra's financial condition and the turbulence in the solar market were there for DOE to see when it reviewed Solyndra's application in 2009. DOE staff and (Office of Management and Budget) staff noted these concerns at the time the loan guarantee was under consideration," the congressional report concluded.

Q: Karma Test With angular 6 I am tring to run test of angular using npm
ng test
but the problem is that chrome start and not stop after test finish so I used :
ng test --watch=false

but that cause error "Chrome 69.0.3497 (Linux 0.0.0) ERROR"
which make chrome timeout
I am trying to run that on continuous deployment server so this error cause fail in the process any idea how to stop that

A: You can avoid this under unix based system using the Headless chrome

It's a way to run the Chrome browser in a headless environment. Essentially, running Chrome without chrome! It brings all modern web platform features provided by Chromium and the Blink rendering engine to the command line.

first:
configure your karma.conf.js to use headless chrome e.g adding a customLaunchers:
...
browsers: ['Chrome'],
customLaunchers: {
    ChromeNoSandboxHeadless: {
       base: 'ChromeHeadless',
       flags: ['--no-sandbox']
    }
 },

second:
tell your package.json script to use your config for testing:
"scripts": {
   ...
    "test": "ng test --browsers=ChromeNoSandboxHeadless",
   ...
  },

then run npm run test or yarn test and your tests will works without open your browser. You can open the displayed url in your prefered browsers(firefox, chrome, chromium etc...).
second way:
You can display all your test cases in your console using Karma-mocha-reporter

*

*First : install npm install karma-mocha-reporter --save-dev

*Second: require your reporter inside karma.conf.js under plugins like require('karma-mocha-reporter'),
Then add the new reporter mocha to your reporters array: reporters: ['mocha', 'progress', 'kjhtml']
Run your test using npm run test or yarn test will display the report into your console.
another way:
in your karma.config.json take a look at the option singleRun (a boolean default set to false). Set true, Karma will start and capture all configured browsers, run tests and then exit with an exit code of 0 or 1 depending on whether all tests passed or any tests failed. Alternativ, run it using the flag npm run test --single-run.

A: In your karma.conf.js, change singleRun to true.
singleRun: true

Trieu: Fresh UM commit Johnson 'makes play after play'
More camps, more dazzling displays of route-running and ball skills led to more offers during the summer.
Trieu: Fresh UM commit Johnson 'makes play after play' More camps, more dazzling displays of route-running and ball skills led to more offers during the summer. Check out this story on detroitnews.com: https://detne.ws/1QJkTKv
Allen Trieu, Special to The Detroit News Published 8:24 a.m. ET Dec. 15, 2015
Nate Johnson(Photo: John Garcia, Scout.com)
Michigan has two big receivers committed in its 2016 class in Brad Hawkins and Ahmir Mitchell, and the Wolverines just added what should be the perfect complement to their skill sets with speedy Tennessee native Nate Johnson.
Johnson committed to the Wolverines on Saturday during his official visit to Ann Arbor.
Johnson caught 62 passes for 1,290 yards and 17 touchdowns as a junior for Independence High School in Thompson's Station. Despite that production, he received only a handful of FCS offers early in the process. Division I attention trickled in along with a few offers, and after good camp performances in the spring, he found himself with a Purdue offer, and he committed to the Boilermakers.
More camps, more dazzling displays of route-running and ball skills led to more offers during the summer and Johnson decommitted from Purdue.
Still considered under-offered by those who saw him play, Johnson left no doubt of his abilities as a senior. He caught 87 passes for 1,713 yards and 27 touchdowns for an undefeated state championship winning team. He was a finalist for Tennessee's Mr. Football, an award many felt he deserved. In-state Tennessee finally offered, so did Penn State, South Carolina and a host of others.
Michigan did as well, and despite visiting only two days after he received the Wolverine offer, he knew he had found his future home.
The Wolverines jumped in late and quickly added a player whose career continues to head on an upward trajectory, according to Scout's Southeast analyst Chad Simmons.
"Obviously, he's had great production," Simmons said. "He took his team to the state championship game and got a chance to play late into the season on a bigger stage against better competition and he produced. His play speaks for itself. He's athletic, very fluid, makes play after play, has great body control and acceleration when he gets the ball and out of his cuts. He's a natural receiver who's risen up the charts and could rise more before it's all said and done."
With Mitchell and Hawkins in the fold as bigger, outside threats, Johnson projects as a slot at this time.
"I think he'd fit perfectly there," Simmons said. "He'd be good on jet sweeps, tunnel screens, quick hitches where you can get him in space. He's thin and rangy right now, so it would be better playing inside instead of having big defensive backs playing right on top of him playing press coverage. Those underneath routes are where he can run away from someone. Get him one-on-one in space and that's a good role for him with his speed and agility."
Johnson is the 22nd commitment for Michigan in the 2016 class.
Junior receiver commits to Michigan
Covington (Ga.) Newton wide receiver Jeremiah Holloman was offered on Saturday when he visited with teammate and Michigan running back commit Kurt Taylor, and Holloman wasted no time accepting the Wolverines' offer.
"I told (Coach Jim Harbaugh) that I wouldn't want to be anywhere else," Holloman told The Michigan Insider's Brice Marich, "and I love the atmosphere at Michigan, love the coaching staff, and from what I see we have a lot of success coming our way. I want to be a part of that. It feels great to be committed and the support is already coming in."
Hollomon caught 32 passes for 632 yards and seven touchdowns as a junior.
Wolverines extend new offer at TE
Still looking to add another tight end in the 2016 class, Michigan offered Nixa (Mo.) product Chase Allen on Monday night. Allen (6-foot-7, 220 pounds) has been a fast riser this year. He has additional offers from Minnesota, who he recently took an official visit with, Ilinois, Indiana, Iowa State and many others, with most of those offers coming during the fall.

Nor is Dragon's Lair all that it seems.
Helping to protect Jarah and his beloved dragons, Eryx uncovers the secret of Dragon's Lair. More importantly, his slowly evolving love for Jarah comes to mean more than anything else.
However, Jarah has one more secret that could keep the lovers apart, forever.

At the insistent beeping, Eryx glanced at his chronometer and hastily shut down the computer. Despite it being his birthday, he'd still wanted to see to a few things at work. That had led to him checking his email, and now it was nearly time for his sister and brother-in-law to arrive.
He hurried into the kitchen to get the champagne and glasses. The meal would arrive later. He rarely cooked, and was not prepared to make the effort today.
Chione had been very secretive about his gift. After all, what do you buy the man with everything? I wonder if she's found some new electronic gadget. A mix of excitement and trepidation warred within him.
Although he was the older sibling, Chione was not only married, but had a couple of children and seemed to have made it her mission to help Eryx find his own lifemate. Please don't let my gift be anything to do with other singles. As much as he appreciated the love behind her actions, Eryx found emotional interaction a difficult concept.
He was happy enough with his single lifestyle, along with his vast array of gadgets and toys to amuse and entertain him. His reliance on them was something of a family joke, but gadgets were safe ground for him. He did, occasionally, indulge in a casual liaison, but always in a safe environment, and with no intentions of it becoming anything more. So far, no one had made an impression on his heart.
At the sound of the door chime, Eryx went through to his living room, snagging a remote control and flipping the plasma screen walls to display ocean scenes with evocative music to accompany the changing vista.
He ushered Chione and his brother-in-law Zeno into his living room and handed out glasses of champagne.
"Happy birthday, Eryx." The couple toasted him in chorus.
Eryx returned their salute.
"Thanks. So what's this great secret you wouldn't reveal until today?"
"You said you were looking for something different, Eryx."
The excitement in Chione's voice caught Eryx and he leant forward eagerly.
His sister grinned widely, and her eyes were alight with anticipation. "Somewhere you'd never been and nothing like anything experienced before. Well, this is it." Chione's hand shook as she handed Eryx a small envelope.
Eryx took the envelope and opened it. He withdrew a card and stared at it. He glanced up at Chione and Zeno, unable to speak. This was beyond anything he could have imagined.
"You've bought me a holiday on Dragon's Lair?" He looked between his sister and her husband, who appeared every bit as excited as he felt. This is amazing, incredible.
"You've complained for months that you wanted your next holiday to be something that was likely to be a once-in-a-lifetime experience. What's the matter?" Chione teased him laughingly. "Are you afraid to be out of communication for a couple of weeks? Not willing to give up luxuries and gadgets?"
"My own sister." Eryx spoke as though grumbling, but grinned as he looked into Chione's blue eyes so similar to his own. "You two really thought about this, didn't you?"
"Absolutely," Chione replied. "Here's the information pack. There are things for you to read and sign before the trip is formally approved. The officials are very careful about who they permit to visit their world. If you're accepted, you can't take any luxuries, and no gadgets."
Eryx took the pack and set it aside. He detested having to read through reams of paperwork. To him, it was a complete waste of his time. He'd just find the proverbial dotted line, then get it signed and sent off. It's not like it's going to contain any major life-changing information. Probably just a load of hype. But if I know my sister, Chione will have read every word. I can always ask her later. The mysterious world of Dragon's Lair. I can't wait. I bet they're like oversized dogs, and the Draguardians are little more than dog trainers.

Apple Watch unveils new Pride-themed bands for 2020
By Lewis Corner
Set your watches, the countdown has begun…
We're mere weeks away from the official start of Pride Month, and although we won't be able to celebrate together in a physical space this year, there are still plenty of ways to mark the occasion and support LGBTQ+ causes while doing so.
This year, Apple have teamed up with Nike for a very special Pride-themed band for the Apple Watch; the Apple Watch Nike Pride Edition Sport Band.
It has been launched alongside a new Apple Watch Pride Edition Sport Band, with both retailing at £49.
As part of the watchOS 6.2.5 update coming soon, Apple Watch users will also have access to new rainbow-coloured Pride faces to pair with their watch.
Apple and Nike will support LGBTQ+ organisations doing vital organising, advocacy and community-building worldwide through this new Pride effort.
GLSEN, PFLAG, The Trevor Project, Gender Spectrum, The National Center for Transgender Equality and ILGA World are the organisations that they are committed to spotlighting and supporting.
Apple has highlighted some of the work GLSEN does as part of a new feature with Elle Smith, GLSEN's Student Advocate of the Year, which can be seen here.
GLSEN is an organisation on a mission to end discrimination, harassment and bullying in schools, by supporting students and providing resources to help educate the next generation of youth on social issues.
The Apple Watch Pride Edition Sport Band and Apple Nike Pride Edition Sport Band are available to buy now.

He will be replaced by Sam Matterface at the start of next season.
Clive Tyldesley is stepping down as ITV's lead commentator after 22 years in the position.
Tyledsley, who joined from the BBC in 1996, will be replaced by Sam Matterface at the start of next season, but will continue to work with the station.
Director of ITV Sport Nial Sloane said: "On behalf of ITV Sport, I would like to thank Clive for his superb work leading our commentary on some of the biggest occasions in world football throughout his outstanding career with us.
What kind of commentary do you want?
A post shared by Clive T (@clivetyldesley) on Jun 23, 2020 at 1:24pm PDT
"We are very glad he will continue with us and look forward to working with him on many more occasions in the future."
The 65-year-old switched channels in 1996 as he joined to be Brian Moore's understudy, but got the main job after the 1998 World Cup.
He has narrated some of the most memorable moments of the last 25 years, including 'that night in Barcelona' when Manchester United won the Champions League and England's run to the 2018 World Cup semi-finals.
Matterface, who is already part of ITV's commentary stable, will step up to the main position, also keeping his role as radio station talkSPORT's chief commentator.

World number one showjumper Scott Brash is one four equestrian greats to be inducted into the British Horse Society's (BHS) hall of fame.
This year the Olympic gold medallist made history becoming the first rider to win the Rolex Grand Slam of show jumping, taking home the €1million (£700,000) bonus prize fund. This was thanks to wins at the grands prix in Geneva, Aachen and Spruce Meadows.
Scott's partner Hello Sanctos was also inducted into the hall of fame.
"I think Hello Sanctos and I just really understand one another — I know what he likes and what he doesn't like," said Scott. "We just click as a partnership.
"It's great to receive this recognition from the BHS. I'm especially glad that Hello Sanctos is getting the recognition that he deserves because he truly is a horse of a lifetime. He's got to be one of the best horses of all time."
The BHS hall of fame celebrates the heroes and heroines — human and equine — of the equestrian world.

Showing producer and rider Jayne Ross and Lucinda Fredericks' prolific eventing mare Headley Britannia were also inducted.
Jayne and Broadshard Simplicity this year were crowned winners of the supreme horse of the year title for the second year running at Horse of the Year Show.
"This is beyond my wildest dreams, I've always looked up to Robert Oliver and Vin Toulson as icons of the sport, so how lovely to think that I am even being remotely thought of in the same breath as them," she said.
Diminutive mare Headley Britannia won the hearts of the public winning all three Rolex Grand Slam events — although not consecutively — and taking Burghley in 2006, Badminton in 2007 and Kentucky in 2009.
She was put down aged 21 in 2014.
Lucinda said: "Receiving this recognition means that Brit has been appreciated in the highest possible way for all her efforts. I feel extremely proud of her, I always will.
"To receive this accolade is a true honour and a justified recognition of her sheer guts and determination — all she wanted to do was win."

Lagos Ministry Sacks Employee For Disclosing ₦35,000 Salary (Photos)
The Lagos State Ministry, which had engaged a graduate and Masters Degree holder from the Lagos State University, LASU, Mr. Toyemej Joseph Juwonlo and offered to pay him ₦35,000 every month as salary to clean drainages in Ikotun area of the state, has sacked him for disclosing his salary.
The father of three children, who is from Badagry area of Lagos, was sacked after he revealed his monthly salary as a drainage cleaner, which was hitherto kept secret within the Ministry, PM Express reported.
The Ministry officials were said to have become angry after the conditions of service were made public and the Governor asked to know why he was engaged with such ridiculous salary even as a Lagosian.
However, instead of addressing the issue as requested by the Governor, he was asked to stop work without payment for the days he had cleaned drainages in the state.

The embattled Juwonlo started work last month and had to trek from his house at Meiran area to Ikotun every morning to do the job after the Lagos State Ministry of the Environment and Water Resources had engaged him as Drainage Supervisor – meaning to clean gutters at the Ikotun axis.
Juwonlo was engaged without any appointment letter and he was not sure of the condition of the work he was employed to do. With the sack, the Ministry of the Environment and Water Resources has confirmed that he can be sacked without payment for the number of days he had cleaned the drainages.
The 49-year old Juwonlo studied Banking and Finance as first degree before he went for his Masters in Business Financing and had worked many places before he started his own business as a freight forwarder, which eventually collapsed due to the economic situation in the country.
He was said to have been out of job since 2014 and could not feed his family. The embattled Juwonlo said that for the past seven years, he had written several applications, looked for both Government and private jobs to no avail before he was informed about the work to clean drainages under the Ministry and he decided to take the job instead of continuing to stay idle.

He had earlier said that he did not know his fate in the job and did not know if it was a contract job or not but was told that it was from the Ministry.
Juwonlo's condition attracted many reactions from members of the public in Ikotun area, where he worked as many stressed that it was indicative that the Government is not ready to assist its citizens.
Despite the meagre salary offered Juwonlo, which will not take care of his wife and children, his tale of woes has been compounded by the Government Ministry by sacking him from the job just for disclosing his salary.

The gazelle is the mascot for Nanu, performance nutrition designed by athletes for athletes. Why the gazelle? Simply it is the fastest herbivore mammal on earth, bar none! Even the cheetah, that infamous carnivore, which has a 70mph burst of speed, approaches the gazelle with caution and stealth and more often than not fails to capture its prey. The gazelle can execute a burst of speed of 60mph or 97km/h that leaves a cheetah wondering what just happened. He's thinking, "Wait a minute, I'm faster than him!" And if it's a "smart" cheetah that decides on pursuit, he quickly tires after 500 meters as the gazelle can sustain a speed of 40mph for over 800 meters while dodging and weaving. Picture the cheetah hunched over, breathing heavily, and licking his chops! Hahahaha! Meanwhile the gazelle is safely munching on tasty greens, chatting with its fellow gazelles about whether they prefer soft vegetation or course vegetation.
