"What do you mean, I frightened him? I'm his father."
"You yelled at him," Sharon said.
"You would have too, Sharon, if you were standing naked in the kitchen and all of a sudden the door opens –."
"He thought you were someone else."
"Goddammit, Sharon, that's ridiculous. What's wrong with him?"
"Honey, he was half asleep." And so am I, Sharon thought. "Go have your shower. I'll start breakfast."
"There's something wrong with him if he looks at me and –."
"What were you doing? Naked in the kitchen."
"Can't a man be naked in his own house?"
"But you never –"
"Can't a man change?"
"If you must know, I was standing at the mirror, I had my mouth open and I was trying to see in the back. I have a toothache."
Sharon laughed.
"I've got a toothache, for Godsake –."
"You should have woken me."
"I thought there was some of your brother's whiskey in the bottom cabinet."
"You wanted whiskey?"
"Dammit, Sharon –."
"Don't curse, Lance. That's the third –."
"You're counting how many times I swear? What is this, the fucking Inquisition?"
Sharon could not remember when, in the years of their marriage, she and Lance had ever had an argument like this. Like two trains passing on adjacent tracks, two trains with passengers at every window screaming and gesticulating and the wind and the noise and the speed rushing their words away as if they had not spoken at all.
She smoothed the hair off his forehead. "Are you okay, Lance?"
He jerked back. "Would you be okay if your son saw you and started screaming?" He wiggled his jaw from side to side. "I can't afford to be sick, Sharon. I'm in the middle of tricky negotiations."
She wanted to know what these were, but this was not the time to ask. Hamish's screams had surprised him; but more than that, she knew his feelings had been hurt. "I made you an appointment for a week from Friday."
"That was the best you could do?"
"Honey, school's out."
"I've got a lot on my mind. I can't be sick. And I need my sleep, dammit."
"Lance, please don't –."
He groaned and sank onto a kitchen chair.
"I'm not counting," Sharon said. "This isn't the Inquisition, but it's just not like you to swear."
"Am I taking the Lord's name in vain? No? Well, when I do you can start complaining."
"You said Goddammit. And for God's sake."
"Stop quibbling. They're only words."
The Lord's name was only a word? Sharon pulled an apron off the hook behind the door and put it on, tying the sash in a careful bow.
"I do want to help you, Lance." She hardly ever wore aprons and had only put this one on now to give herself time to think what to say next. Wearing an apron made her feel like someone else, like her mother-in-law, the silent and long suffering Helen. But Sharon did not know how to be silent and the suffering she felt now – vicariously for Lance but also for herself as she tried to figure out why her simple sweet husband had turned peculiar – this suffering would not be kept down.
She smoothed the front of the apron with the flat of her hand. "You said you have a lot on your mind. Can you tell me?"
"You'll find out when the time's right."
"Is this something you're working on with Joel?"
"What makes you say that?"
"A guess."
"Don't go blaming things on him."
"What's to blame, Lance? I'm just wondering if whatever it is you have on your mind, if it includes him."
Lance nodded.
Sharon's heart sank. "We're not moving to El Cajon, are we?"
Thank the Lord.
"Lovey said she saw you coming out of the Inn yesterday afternoon."
"And? And? If this isn't the Inquisition, what is it? Don't I have a right to conduct business at the Inn or anywhere else I like?"
She ran the tap and filled the kettle. The stove's electric pilot clicked and clicked and finally lighted. She tried to organize her thoughts to explain what troubled her in a way that would not set him off. She spooned coffee into the filter of the coffee maker.
"I know you, Lance, and I know when you get jumpy like this it means something's on your mind. I'm your wife, Lance." She stood behind him and rested her cheek on the top of his head. "I love you. Don't keep me out."
She was thinking it might be her fault. She just had to try harder to be a better wife. There was a burned-on spot of tomato soup the size of a quarter on the back burner. She had cleaned the refrigerator the day before and now she needed to find time for the stove. And the dryer was full of clean clothes. Scrub, fold, sweep, wash…there was no end to it. Lovey called it housekeeping monkey-mind. White mind-noise to keep from thinking about what really bothered her. She replayed what she knew about the affairs of the CCC, walked her thoughts through every scheme she could imagine her husband and Joel thinking up together. If Joel were involved, it had to be grandiose. Joel never did anything in a small way. But if it were Joel's scheme with Lance just tagging along, she did not think her husband would be so tense.
"It's after six. Do you think I could have some breakfast?"
Sharon wondered if the Supreme Court would approve a marriage contract if the terms were honestly stated? Secret back room deals, meals on demand, scour, sweep…
"Sure," she said. "Bacon and eggs?"
"French toast."

Topology Optimized 3D Printed Spine Implant: The Cool Parts Show S1E2
Medical contract manufacturer Tangible Solutions shares a titanium 3D printed spine implant with an unusual lattice structure in this episode of The Cool Parts Show.

3D Printing and Coronavirus: U.S. Additive Manufacturers Share Their Experiences
Lattices are a common feature in 3D printed spine implants for their ability to encourage better bone in-growth and therefore faster healing without stress shielding in patients. However, most lattices are regular structures, equally spaced inside the part's volume. In this episode of The Cool Parts Show, medical contract manufacturer Tangible Solutions shares with us a different kind of latticed implant, one created with topology optimization software from nTopology.

What does it look like to apply topology optimization to a 3D printed spine implant? You'll see it in this episode of The Cool Parts Show.
Pete Zelinski, Additive Manufacturing
I'm Pete Zelinski.
And I'm Stephanie Hendrixson.
Pete Zelinski
We're with AdditiveManufacturing.media and this is The Cool Parts Show.
This is the second episode of our new series where we talk about cool parts 3D printed by viewers like you.
Alright, challenge on you, your turn to bring a cool part. What do you got?
All right. So Pete, I'm sure you've seen 3D printed implants before. I'm thinking specifically of implants for the spine. What do those usually look like?
So when they're 3D printed spine implants, not solid. More the form has a mesh lattice structure for bone in-growth.
Right. So what I brought today is a spine implant. It was 3D printed, it has a lattice structure. But it has a lattice that's unlike any that I've seen before.
Yeah, so I'm used to like a regular lattice geometry, a honeycomb, or like a checkerboard. But this is a crazy purple bird's nest, right? What's going on here?
Right? So this implant was 3D printed by Tangible Solutions in Beaver Creek, Ohio, using powder bed fusion. It's made of titanium. And this could be the direction that lattices are going in the future. So I'm going to let Chris Collins, the chief operating officer at Tangible talk a little bit about what they do and why lattices are so important to their business.
Chris Collins, Tangible Solutions
Tangible Solutions makes 3D printed titanium orthopedic implants, that's 100% of our business. That's all we do, about 90 to 95% of that are spine implants. Lattices are valuable to spinal implants, because they can reduce the global stiffness of the device. And so in particular, in spine implants, it's very important to make the stiffness of the implant as close to the disc as possible. With additive and lattice, you can use the lattice to tune the stiffness of the device to lower it and bring it closer to what a intervertebral disc would be. Lattice in spine implants also aids, bone graft volume. So that'll enable the surgeon to pack the device with a larger amount of bone graft which can decrease patient recovery times and improve bony in-growth into the device.
This is more like what I think of as lattices. And even this one would be hard to model, I think, but it's at least geometrically regular. That's not what this is. This is just craziness and no consistency. Talk me through the crazy.
So it's crazy because it was topology optimized for the loads that an implant like this would be expected to bear. So tangible used software from nTopology to optimize the directions of the struts, the the width of the struts, and even the build angle to make sure that this would print the way that they expected it to. And as a result, they're able to design this implant with the lattice that's specifically designed to serve this one particular purpose.
Why is it purple?
So I'm glad you asked. It's purple because it's anodized titanium. And you might want to do that just to differentiate between different sizes of implants or maybe just for aesthetics. But the fact that it's anodized, and it's made of titanium is sort of interesting, because usually, when we talk about titanium implants, it looks something like this, it's a solid piece of metal. But the issue with putting something like this into your body is that this solid titanium is a lot stronger and stiffer than your natural bone. And so as your body heals around it, your bone can actually kind of get lazy, because it's depending on this really strong piece of metal.
That's why a lot of implants now are made out of this plastic called PEEK. Because it's a little bit less stiff, it's a little bit closer to the natural characteristics of your bone. However, when you topology optimize, and 3D print a titanium implant like this, you can actually adjust the stiffness and so you end up with something that's a lot closer to your natural bone that your body can then heal around, and you don't end up with that sort of laziness in your spine.
Alright, so that's a lot. Let me see if I got that. With topology optimization software as part of the design, you could put the lattices to work for you. You can get the strength that you want precisely, you can get the flexibility, stiffness that you want. By applying that to the software and letting the software create the lattice form, no matter how crazy it is, to give exactly those structural properties. And then you can get that in addition to the other reasons you use lattices, which in the case of an implant is the area for bone to grow into. Anchor the bone better, and speed recovery time. Is that right?
Right, exactly. And so this is a really specific use case, in a really specific industry. It's not even something that necessarily is going into bodies yet. But you can see how the ability to topology optimize your lattice could be used in a lot of different scenarios where you want to remove material, but you also want to impart some other sort of characteristics to your part.
So you're saying it's bigger than implants. We could see lattice parts, lightweight and strong, everywhere.
Yeah, I think that's definitely where we're going. That's it for this episode of The Cool Parts Show. If you have a cool part you'd like to see featured, Email us at coolparts@additivemanufacturing.media. Thanks for watching. Don't forget to subscribe.

As title says Modern warfare 3 is free until THIS sunday 1pm est on steam so for anyone wanting to try out mw3 heres your chance.
SOAP dies at the end.
I played it this weekend to try it out.
The game itself is very cool, addicting and visually stunning (the weapons visuals are almost the same as MW2, but it seems to be that the skinned hands were pretty much photo-realistic).
1) - Lack of maps (only a handful amount of them, I was expecting much more).
2) - Censorship. One of the things I love in UT is that you have lots of gore. In MW3, no matter what you do the guys always end in 1 piece, they never get ripped apart even if you explode them directly.
The game would be way more fun if it had gore (they wanted to make it realistic, yet they missed this part).
3) - It's so goddamn easy for upper levels to get killstreaks, and it's very hard to take them out, yet it's so easy to get lots of kills with them. Since they detect the best hosts automatically, they should only join people of around the same level and not mix level 80 with level 1 guys, or perhaps making that mix an option for who wants to play that way.
I mean, what chance do anyone stand against a thermal high-firerate sniper with pro perks on it while you only have a pre-selected ones of the lowest level with low accuracy assault rife or sub machine gun?
The result is guys of level 1 being raped with level 80 guys, making them leave (and no, deathstreaks do not help anything at all, what do you do with 10 seconds of extra speed?).
So basically, in this game, if the level 1 guy has the same skill of a level 80, the level 1 will be raped, and now consider this: level 1 guys are actual noobs and level 80 are already pros in the game, so the gap is even bigger that makes gameplay insanely unfair.
Anyway, I went to level 42 myself during the free weekend, and was a fun experience overall, despite the flaws it has, it's a game worth buying imho (won't buy it though lol, no money, it's still too expensive for me rofl).

Rise of the Tomb Raider 20 Year Celebration Edition Review
Rise of the Tomb Raider 20 Year Celebration Edition Review Andrew Bistak
Summary: Rise of the Tomb Raider 20 Year Celebration Edition is a true festivity of the legacy of Lara Croft!
To celebrate the 20th anniversary of Tomb Raider, Crystal Dynamics have released the definitive version of RISE OF THE TOMB RAIDER on PlayStation 4 that gives gamers over 50 hours of gameplay, including all DLC's, VR support and new gaming modes plus some very classic Lara Croft skins to celebrate all things Tomb Raider. So apart from the flawless main game, players can experience the single-player story of Baba Yaga: The Temple of the Witch plus the new Blood Ties as Lara explores her past in order to claim Croft Manor from her uncle. Add in new multiplayer modes, outfits, weapons and expedition cards and Rise of the Tomb Raider 20 Year Celebration Edition is a true celebration of Lara Croft and her amazing video game history.
However before we get onto the new content, let's talk about the main game which is Rise of the Tomb Raider that takes us on another amazing and deadly adventure of gaming's most powerful female protagonists with Lara Croft as she attempt to unlock the secrets left behind from her father that revolves around a forgotten city, a long lost prophet and an ancient artefact that holds a link to the "divine source".
Unfortunately for Lara, a powerful and clandestine organisation known as the Trinity, a paramilitary group of religious zealots are also searching for the same item that our tomb raider wants which causes them to clash on many levels in this dangerous game of cat and mouse. Without spoiling the story too much, the villain in the game is Constantine who has been sent by Trinity to recover this object, however his link to Lara definitely creates a big reveal and betrayal for Lara. I also loved the end of the title which definitely closed many of the doors of this current story but also left it open for future stories.
To assist Lara in her journey, she has the research of her father, including recordings but many dubbed her father as "crazy". However Lara vows to find the truth and shares the same passion and dedication as him. There are even flashbacks or memories that Lara will unlock about her father which helps flesh out the story even further. So while you explore this beautifully created world, you will find documents littered through the gaming environment which helps the player piece together the story of the prophet. That's one thing I liked about the rebooted Tomb Raider series is that there are generally two parallel stories running at the same time, one set in the future with Lara and the other set in the past.
The gameplay of Rise of the Tomb Raider is reminiscent of the 2013 game which requires the player to control Lara in a third person perspective which features exploring, climbing, stunts, combat and a healthy dose of puzzles. The title also boasts some great quick-time events which flawlessly switch from in-game to an interactive cinema that requires you to push a button or perform an action such as jumping at the right time or attempting to use your pick axe. These actions are time limited and y help break up the gameplay and give the player some great excitement plus an adrenaline rush. Lara also has some equipment to assist with her adventure such as her glow stick and needless to say, I'll never look at scorpions the same way again. I also loved her grappling gadget that allowed her to reach some very dangerous places.
Climbing mechanics seem much sturdier than the previous game as you precariously explore dangerous mountains and forgotten cities looking for clues, documents and ancient treasures. So as you jump, climb and hang, the control of Lara is perfect and even the wall scrambles which require you to run up the wall in order to reach a climbing point all work well. At times, the controls are a little clunky but thankfully the game includes a decent check point system. Puzzles play a key role in the game and Lara has access to a survival instinct vision which when used basically highlights clues, treasures and areas that you need to access. This time is limited and does help the player should they get stuck. What I liked about the puzzles is that most did not seem too forced or contrived but actually suited the story and the level design quite well with some really clever water puzzles.
In the spirit of Prince of Persia which does share some parallels with this game, there are a variety of traps that must be avoided and if you don't, this can lead to the brutal death of Lara and these scenes are quite graphic. The game even contains a RPG element which does allow you "level" up Lara in order to give additional skills to successfully complete her mission and this works very well with the third person adventure game mechanics. So at camps, this is where Lara has the ability to level up which are split into primary skills that include Brawler (Hand to Hand combat and healing abilities), Gathering (Hunting and scavenging abilities) and Crafting (Crafting and exploration abilities).
As you progress, you are awarded points that can the be used to purchase these skills plus the items you found in the world can also be used to upgrade your weapons and equipment. Apart from the main mission, there are also challenge missions such as exploring a new tomb or using some newly acquired skill to help complete this task. This definitely increases the gameplay. Combat is another element of the game which works well and it's always a joyous moment when Lara gets her handguns because it pays homage to the original series. So while you shoot and use a variety of different weapons against your enemies, you'll also need to use the environment to your advantage that may be covering or using something else to destroy your enemies. Another cool component of the game are the viscous takedowns which are also very graphic. The water takedown had me staring at the screen in not just amazement but shock at how cool this was. So these stealth takedowns definitely make the combat more enjoyable and diverse such as aerial takedowns or hiding in the bushes.
Furthermore and as mentioned, Rise of the Romb Raider 20 Year Celebration Edition contains additional single-player modes that include Baba Yaga: The Temple of the Witch which has Lara going against the legend of this nefarious witch and the other single-player story is Blood Ties that has our heroine attempting to cement her legacy at Croft Manor. Both these stories (albeit a little short) are really fun to play, especially Blood Ties with the inclusion of VR. Exploring Croft Manor in VR is a true experience, especially from a first person perspective. For those that get a little nausea while playing VR, there are two modes available that included a limited movement option (much easier on the stomach) to more physical (not as easier on the stomach). Given that, the controls are a little clunky in VR but there's some fun effects and definitely a must play, especially if you own the PlayStation VR.
Then you have the multiplayer modes that include Blood Ties Nightmare that has you and your friends going against a horde of infectious zombies and the new Endurance mode as you attempt to work together in order to survive the unforgiving environments. If multiplayer is still your thing, you have the other modes which really fleshes out this experience as try to survive from both enemies and the environments with some spectacular graphics. All in all, Rise of the Tomb Raider 20 Year Celebration Edition is another thoroughly enjoyable experience on the PlayStation 4.
When it comes to graphics, Rise of the Tomb Raider boasts some amazing characters, environments and special effects that at times is like watching one long pre-rendered cinema due to the attention to detail. So once Tomb Raider is booted up on your PlayStation 4 you are treated to one of the best intros of the year that sees Lara and her companion navigating a dangerous snow covered mountain which has some of the best realistic snow and ice effects in any title. Then you have the avalanche scene which not only puts you in the shoes of Lara but you really feel her emotions and her quest to live when the storm front finally hints.
While we're on emotions, developers should one again be commended on the realistic emotions that these characters display and as a result, it really makes you want to protect Lara from this dangerous world. From the realistic eyes to the way the characters mouths move, you can tell that Rise of the Tomb Raider is a true work of love. You can even see the sweat glistening on Lara's skin or the scratches that she collects on her adventures which really make you appreciate the graphical engine behind the game.
Add in the natural human-like movements of the characters and the game makes a perfect transition from rolls to jumps and even how Lara dives into the water. I also like how Lara's clothes gets drenched from water and she even squeezes out the water of her ponytail and adjusts it once out of the water. The skin tone on the characters is another highlight which once again makes the characters quite human in their appearance. Another cool aspect about Rise of the Tomb Raider: 20 Year Celebration are the cool Lara Croft skins which really pays homage to the games of yesterday and brought some fond memories back to this gamer.
The final piece of the graphical puzzle for Rise of the Tomb Raider are the detailed backgrounds which makes it feel like you are in some forgotten city or some exotic distant land that really assists with the overall level design. Special effects and lighting add to the immersion factor of the game like Lara's blue or orange glow stick which creates this eerie light or the way the mist is sprayed off waterfalls, this game really enhances the previous title and on the PlayStation 4, it's a piece of modern art. The only drawback to the graphics is that Rise of the Tomb Raider feels a little too familiar to the original game and I for one, wished there was more variety but even so, it's still a great looking game on this console. Add in compatibility with the PS4 Pro plus 4K and wow… you're in for a graphical treat!
Audio is another big part of Rise of the Tomb Raider and like the graphics, there's a whole wealth of detail in this department and when you stop and virtually smell the roses, the background ambience with the sound is perfect which may be the sounds of animals or the weather which makes this game a living breathing world. Voice acting is brilliant, especially as Lara who is played by Camilla Luddington and it's a shame she wasn't cast for the movie. The soundtrack also changes with what's happening in the world of Lara and once again tugs at your emotional heartstrings when things are getting a little difficult for our hero.
I really enjoyed revisiting this game on the PlayStation 4 and Rise of the Tomb Raider 20 Year Celebration Edition is the definitive version, especially with the new content which really makes this title a must have for owners of this console. Even though I played this title before on the XBox One, it was still a really fun experience and I must admit that I actually enjoyed it more the second time thanks to the additional content and improved graphics. So what are you waiting for, go buy this game now because it's that good that is jam packed of extras for both single-player, multi-player and VR!

Today is a good day to reflect on one of the finest parts of Tomato Head – past and present; from the very beginning of our journey all the way through today we've attracted a lot of interesting people – not just the folks eating at our tables but also the many fine people who work to put the goods on those tables.
Today is National Food Service Worker's Day, which strikes us as both a day of celebration and gratitude.
It doesn't matter what aspect of life, whether you're putting together a sports team, casting a play, or assembling a band, finding the right group of humans who share your passion, your values, and your own brand of common sense can be a Herculean labor – and finding all of those qualities in a group of people that you actually like to be around is a stroke of luck. And yet for going on 26 years, Tomato Head has been inordinately fortunate in terms of having a team from the kitchen all the way to the front door that's caring, considerate, hard-working and pretty groovy, too.
So we want to say thanks!
If you've ever worked in a restaurant, you know that the job comes with more challenges than meet the eye, and that it takes a lot more effort than just slinging hash on a grill or dropping it off at table 15. From the kitchen and dish room to the bar and the patio, too, the work requires a keen set of eyes, mad skills in multi-tasking, diplomacy out the wazoo, and a really good pair of shoes.
Thanks in part to the great proliferation of cooking shows, there's a little more appreciation for the demands of life in food service than perhaps once there was. Still, it's a tough job that comes with its fair share of difficult experiences. So today, perhaps you'll consider joining us as we make a point of saying thanks a little more clearly and a little more often.
Of course, we're not encouraging our guests to get up and hug the kitchen manager after every meal – I suspect we'd be looking for a new kitchen manager if that were the case. But, if you think of it, an extra thanks goes long way to helping anybody feel better about the day and what they do with it.

Canada's 2018 installations below ten-year average
4 February 2019 by Craig Richard
Six wind farms with a combined capacity of 566MW were commissioned in Canada last year -- a 62% increase year on year, but below the country's ten-year average.
EDF EN Canada's 224MW Nicolas Riou wind farm in Quebec was the largest installed in Canada last year
Since 2008, 9,512MW has been commissioned in Canada for an annual average of 951MW. However, last year's total marks a significant increase on the 348MW installed in 2017.
Two projects were completed in Quebec and Ontario, while single sites were completed in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia in 2018, according to Windpower Intelligence, the research and data division of Windpower Monthly.
Of these new wind farms — all of which are onshore sites — two have both community and First Nations ownership stakes.
The new additions bring Canada's cumulative capacity to 12,816MW, according to figures from the Canadian Wind Energy Association (CanWEA).
Canada's National Energy Board (NEB) forecasts approximately 510MW of annual additions between 2019 and 2040. By the end of this period, the NEB expects wind power to make up 13% of Canada's operational capacity, up from 8% in 2015
However, CanWEA believes wind power can exceed this forecast. For example, it expects approximately 1GW to be commissioned in 2019: including nearly 600MW awarded in Alberta's first auction in 2017, more than 400MW under construction in Ontario, and the 20MW Western Lily site in Saskatchewan that was completed in January.
It also pointed out that 510MW per year is well below the country's ten-year average.
CanWEA added that auctions in Saskatchewan and Alberta in 2018 for 963MW will help increase renewable generation in Canada in the near-future.
Saskatchewan's tender in October received average bids of C$42 and resulted in a 200MW project being awarded a power contract. Potentia Renewables' winning bid remains unconfirmed, but CanWEA stated it was below C$35/MWh. Meanwhile, in Alberta, 763.7MW was awarded across five projects as prices inched up to C$39/MWh in December.
All six projects awarded contracts across the tenders are expected to be commissioned in 2021.

Oop. The sun's out. It's picnic timeeeee! Yes, you may be thinking this is all we do... but sod it, we changed the venue. This time we jumped on the train to Bethnal Green and joined our friends in the spacious and sunny Victoria Park. No lovingly prepared food I'm afraid. A hangover meant our meal consisted of a prawn sandwich, popcorn and some mango in a packet. Oh, and Lucy brought quiche.
We managed to bag ourselves a bench, popped open a couple of cans of pre mixed G&T and set about catching up.
Our little World Cup mascot was there, sporting very funky and colourful nails. Salvador, I'm saving these pictures for your eighteenth birthday! Oh yes.
When the clouds showed up and the beer was done, we ambled back to the village for more drinks and a little bonfire garden party. How did you spend your sunny Saturday?
Erm, I asked for chocolate?

Rest of the Story - Aug. 21, 2016: Argus news from St. Anthony Parish in Butler in 1893
St. Anthony's School opened "with a credible number of pupils," said a report in the Pequannock Valley Argus edition of Sept. 15, 1893.
staff photos by joe sarno
St. Anthony of Padua Elementary School in Butler closed at the end of the 2012 school year after a 130-year run. This is one of many Catholic schools in New Jersey to suffer a similar fate from fallen enrollment.
Writers of the articles were not usually identified in the newspapers of that day, so it is not known who wrote the following quote.
"Father Albert said the other Sunday that members of the congregation who send their children to any other than Catholic schools deserve not to be called Catholics."
The report went on to say that James M. Yatman finished his job on the church tower.
"Everybody passing by stops, admiring his neat work of slating," it said.
The report went on to say that the new church windows were expected to be in place by Oct. 8, 1893. It said the sidewalks were not included in the present plastering contract of Michael Bowden. The work was going to be similar to that of the shrine.
Visitors to the church and shrine apparently visited St. Anthony Church rather frequently. The newspaper reported that a week earlier a stage-load of David Wickham's summer (hotel) visitors at Echo Lake visited the shrine. J. Dugan "sent good news from Brooklyn, N.Y." that a planned pilgrimage to St. Anthony Church "was met with great enthusiasm."
Brother Beno had "commenced to beautify the little house over the St. Anthony well, "which will be of a neat appearance when complete."
The church belonged to the Newark Roman Catholic Diocese in 1893 and did not become part of the Paterson Diocese until much later in the 1930s.
The Right Rev. Wigger of Newark was to visit the church on Oct. 16, 1893, and administer the Sacrament of Confirmation. Instructions to get those to be confirmed ready for the bishop's visit were to attend instruction sessions Monday and Friday evenings beginning Sept. 8, 1893. The newspaper announced that all grown persons of the parish who had not yet been confirmed should notify the pastor.
Another topic for the writer(s) of the Sept. 15, 1893 edition of the Pequannock Valley Argus used the title "No Hard Times in Butler."
"We hear that the Women's Relief Corps cleared $240 at their recent fair," said the article. "The people of the neighborhood are not bankrupt yet, by any means - not withstanding a fake writer to the New York press from Macopin would like the outside world to believe they are.
"His article was a tissue of falsehoods from beginning to end. - inasmuch as it leads those unacquainted with the situation to suppose that our people were fit subjects for the world's free bread fund.
"The writer says the B.H.R. works is the only industry in the town and is locked up and God only knows when they'll resume.
"The truth of the matter is that the factory is working shorthanded three days a week and has been for the past two months. Our other industries - the Soft Rubber Works, White's Paper Mills, and the Excelsior Mills - are doing their full quota of business.
"We would like to have that Macopiner understand there are no poorhouse candidates in Butler yet and the prospect of brighter times ahead are encouraging for a brisk fall business in our mountain retreat. Such misleading stories are a detriment to our industry and especially painful to the people of our thriving twin towns."
Another article covered hunting and fishing notes.
It said gray squirrel shooting would begin the latter part of the week, and the country around Newfoundland and Green Pond would be swarming with hunters. The neighborhood of Midvale in Wanaque was said to also be a great place for species of this game.
Reports from Pompton Lakes said that the fishing was better there than it had been in many years.
"The pickerel are also biting - unusually running down stream with the run to continue several weeks," said the 1893 report. "Eel weirs have been pretty well banished from the New Jersey streams by the fish wardens, but many eels are sill caught by night by the use of small fine-meshed fykes or bow nets, which are placed in the streams between wing dams built up of stone. The nets are put in at night and removed at daybreak. If the stone dams are destroyed by the fish wardens, they are rebuilt in an hour or two."
Thanks to Kitty Baker Sarro for sharing more of the information in her family's 1893 newspapers and providing this information for the rest of the story.

Bridgette K. Werner is a postdoctoral research associate and lecturer in the Program in Latin American Studies at Princeton University. Her article "Between Autonomy and Acquiescence: Negotiating Rule in Revolutionary Bolivia, 1953–1958" is forthcoming in HAHR 100.1.
On November 6, near the city of Cochabamba, mob violence struck against the mayor of the municipality of Vinto in the midst of increasingly violent protests following the October 20 elections. Opposition protesters kidnapped Patricia Arce Guzmán and burned the Alcaldía of Vinto. They accused Arce of supporting a pro-MAS group that had attempted to break an opposition blockade, resulting in two deaths. The mob of masked protestors then force-marched Arce barefoot to the blockade at Huayculi, painted her red, cut her hair, and forced her to sign a resignation letter, all the while berating her with shouts of "asesina de mierda." In videos circulating on social media, Arze can be heard stating that she is willing to die for MAS's proceso de cambio.
It was a shocking scene, but not an unfamiliar one. Deep in the Prefectural Archives in Cochabamba lies a similar story of violence against an Indigenous woman in the region of northern Potosí. Late one night on an abandoned hacienda in January 1958, townspeople from San Pedro de Buenavista attacked peasant leader Narciso Torrico and his pregnant wife, Luzmila Paredes. Torrico and a cohort of peasant leaders had been unionizing the region's predominantly Indigenous peasants in favor of land distribution, as decreed in the 1953 agrarian reform. A complicated figure, Torrico landed on the revolutionary side of the line in deeply divided times, and the challenge he presented to local structures of power did not go unnoticed by San Pedro's townspeople. In the attack, the townspeople killed Torrico with a rudimentary hand grenade. They then severed his head, and after severely beating his widow and threatening to kill her, the townspeople marched Paredes over multiple days to the town of San Pedro. They forced her to walk barefoot, carrying her husband's head in a shawl tied across her back. Each time the group stopped to rest, her captors forced Paredes to kiss Torrico's head. When they reached the town, the townspeople made Paredes display her huband's head so that it was visible to onlookers as she processed through the town, grasping it by the hair and ear as the townspeople jeered and spat on her. She was then imprisoned for nine days without food or water.
Both of these events can be understood as hate crimes, characterized by both physical violence and cruel humiliation and executed within an ethos of counterrevolutionary reaction concentrated through the prism of deeply embedded racism. Racism reifies and concentrates counterrevolutionary hatred and violence, in Bolivia and elsewhere, making stark and visceral the punitive and vengeful content of that violence. Whether or not Patricia Arce identifies as Indigenous is perhaps beside the point. On the whole, MAS's proceso de cambio opened space for Indigenous women in public life—and particularly in government and public institutions. Much more than a gesture toward inclusiveness in Bolivian public life, the proceso de cambio represented the very real reconfigurations of power experienced since Morales was first elected in 2005. That Indigenous women have become visible representatives of MAS and of the proceso de cambio that has empowered the country's Indigenous majority in tangible ways also makes them extremely vulnerable symbols of what many have recently come to see as a corrupt political project constructed on strong-arm rule and now electoral fraud. Indigenous women's bodies have historically been a key site on which threatened elites inscribe their objections, anger, fear, and resentment. Racism and racist violence lurk just below the surface of political life in Bolivia. As the adage goes, history does not repeat, but it often rhymes.

Reya Steele
The Fungal Pharmacy is a valuable resource to mycologists, researchers, oncologists, environmentalists, ecologists, wildcrafters, scientists and herbalists interested in medicinal mushrooms. In a recent book review, Dr. Solomon Wasser, editor in chief of the International Journal of Medicinal Mushrooms wrote: "The Fungal Pharmacy is a short encyclopedic review of the species biodiversity of medicinal mushrooms of Western Canada. The importance of the book is not limited to Western Canada; it is also useful for all of North America. The general information contained in this book is useful to all those interested in medicinal mushrooms. In this book, the reader can find information on the medicinal properties of approx. 300 species. I would strongly recommend this unique book without hesitation to medical mycologists, botanists, plant pathologists, professionals, and amateurs. I am using this book extensively in teaching mycology, especially medicinally mushrooms, to university students."

Q: TypeScript non-null assertion operator does not work I have a type with a conditional property (in this case 'b')
type tp1 = {a: string, b?: Array<number>};

I create an object of this type, where conditional properties are present
const a: tp1 = {a: '10', b: [1,2,3]};

I'm trying to log and check how they work and non-null assertion operator, and get error in second log, but why?
can someone explain this to me?
and how to remove this error if I know exactly which object will come? (not '@ts-ignore')
ts playground example
console.log('1st test log ', a!.b); // everything is fine
console.log('2nd test log ', a!.b[2]); // Object is possibly 'undefined'

I had to add the following compiler argument to not get null JSON errors. I happened to just stumble upon the fix on the forums without an explanation why. Any thoughts?
Figured I'd post it here for anyone new to this running into similar errors.
Any reason why you couldn't apply the same pattern to the old library?
I have a suggestion but when I try to post the code here I got an error.
Yup, anyone encountered error with JSON invalid input or others kind of errors on FB4.6 must add "-swf-version=13″ into the compiler parameter.
Can not resolve a multiname reference unambiguously. JSON (from /Applications/Adobe Flash Builder 4.6/sdks/4.6.0/frameworks/libs/air/airglobal.swc(JSON, Walker)) and com.adobe.serialization.json:JSON don't know how to solve this. Can any one help me?
Can any one help me please? How to resolve the multiname reference error of JASON in Flex 4.6.
Hi Todd good thing I came across this!
SyntaxError: Error #1132: Invalid JSON parse input.
but right before the update I believe I was publishing in 11.0.
I keep finding myself always leveraging Flash JSON class!!! but a bigger problem is that FLASH is crossdomain policy really stops you from using useful API.
Everybody has a great and well Document API …. FACEBOOK , DISQUS , TWITTER, GOOGLE ANALYTICS. but problem is that you actually can't acces them if your flash file is sitting in a bowser!
Sinceyou have to call a URL request from your AS3 swf file that loads the Json response into your swf, but all these useful API's or not on your domain. In other words unless FACEBOOK , DISQUS , TWITTER, GOOGLE ANALYTICS… give you access you will always get a security error since your are loading data originating from a different .com then yours. Adobe should really deal with this or give the JSON class its own URL request method that dosen't require loading the crossdomain.xml file.
I setted 11.1 to compiler tab, I don't get sintax error, but when I run my flex 3.6 project I read into console: ReferenceError: Error #1065: JSON not is defined.

Mala Luna: A cacophony of happy, fashionable people
Austin Davidson|October 31, 2019

I walked into Nelson Wolff Stadium knowing that the last time I went to a music festival I was 11. It was in Colorado, and it was folk-based. In many ways, Mala Luna was my first music festival experience, never having gone to Austin City Limits or sold my soul to the devil in Chacos and flown to Coachella. I had no expectations, and Mala Luna, I think, was the perfect first festival.
Photo credit: Austin Davidson
Spaced out over two days, the festival boasted 28 acts and had names like Trippie Redd, Ari Lennox and Rick Ross. The first of six concerts I attended was Jessie Reyez, whose striking voice woke me up from the midday daze I was in. In one of her songs she discussed the #MeToo movement and her experiences of being taken advantage of in the music industry, ending it with a triumphant "fuck you" to all who prey on artists trying to make it. It was electric.
From there, I walked to the next act, Summer Walker. Her R&B mixed with hip-hop tunes had the sizable crowd swaying and sliding, her lines and rhymes accentuated by two pole-dancers on either side of her. Throughout the show and the festival, it was incredible to see the sheer variety of fashion around me.
One couple in particular looked born to be on festival grounds, clad in plaid pants, ludicrously expensive designer shoes, T-shirts engineered to wave on the boundary between fashion and garbage and colorfully zany hairstyles. Suffice to say, they were far cooler than me.
They, too, seemed to be partaking in the festival-wide effort to add as much dust and ash into the air as possible, making the air hazy and hold an aether-like glow. An orange sunset greeted Rick Ross as he took charge of the festival, his set filled with hits that had even wayward festival dads danced to.
I waited for almost his whole set for the one song I loved from him, but it only came after I had exited the festival grounds. I guess staying throughout the set has its rewards.
The first day was, in most regards, tame. No fighting or massive mosh pits. I didn't see anything being thrown in the crowds, and the police seemed to be relaxed. So my expectation for day two was for more of the same. I was wrong.
Day two was warmer than day one by nearly seven degrees, which I think explains the vast increase of energy. The grounds were packed. I made my way to my first show of the afternoon, another R&B artist named Ari Lennox.
She was one of my favorite shows of the weekend — her power and honesty on stage broke the illusion of her being above anyone in the crowd, bringing the audience into the music with her.
She brought a sizable crowd, the entirety of it moving in one symbiotic dance, waving back and forth to the strum of a well-wielded guitar. Before she ended her set she asked the crowd, "Where y'all at?" I don't think she was talking about our shared geography, but our shared energy. The hum and kick of the bass as she left the stage didn't leave the crowd, who continued to dance with restless anticipation as the afternoon progressed.
I left that stage for a bit, going to see how the DaBaby concert was going. While watching, I witnessed a whole pizza being annihilated by the mosh pit, cheese flying in the air as the bodies crushed the pie. As appealing as the pit was, I soon ventured with the crowd who were going to see Trippie Redd.
As I walked over, I spotted the fashionable couple I had seen the first day. Their outfits matched the second day, each looking like LA's finest. I went over and asked what they thought of the festival, my question not stopping the pair from their endless dance. They looked at one another and then the girl, Maxi, said, "It's been super dope." I waited for more and asked if they had a favorite artist. Maxi answered again, saying, "Nope, just enjoying the vibe." They both smiled and left, the crowd parting for them as they made their way to the front.
Around 10 minutes later, I made my way to the photo pit, a four-foot path between the crowds and the stage. It was loud even before Trippie got there, his DJ doing his best to get the crowd going, but he didn't need to do much. I have never heard a crowd yell as loud as when Trippie jumped onto the stage, the waves of sound from the speakers and the people vibrating shaking me. And then came the water. Opened bottles of water descended from the skies and drenched me and my fellow photographers. Only I was fazed, the seasoned professionals knowing this would happen. The volume of both artist and crowd continued to rise as his set grew, electricity coursed through the air as Trippie jumped onto a 10-foot speaker and belted the lyrics to one of his tracks, "Topanga."
Before I was told to leave the pit, Trippie sang one of his sadder, calmer songs, "Love Scars," dedicated to friends of his who have died from a manner of causes. No music played, just his voice filling the air. No one cheered. He held us all in his hands as he sang a ballad of loss and woe. He shed a tear and then looked to the crowd, a blunt in his hand. He looked back at his DJ, nodded and began again. As I left the park, unable to hear from my left ear, Trippie ended his set, his energy and spirit leaving the air.
Mala Luna was remarkable. It was all I could have asked for in a festival. What made it special was that it was a middle ground — an event with all the stars, crowds and overpriced food of any other event but without the inflated price. Most importantly, it has the euphoric wonder of being among 10,000 people dancing and screaming, everyone donned in the latest and singing along to every song, our perception of now falling away to the sound of the drums. For a moment, you are part of all of it and nothing at all. I think that's worth the ticket price.
I hope that Mala Luna will be back next October; I definitely plan on going.

2013 Herblock Finalist
Judges for this year's contest were Matt Bors, a nationally syndicated cartoonist in altweeklies and winner of the 2012 Herblock Prize; Jenny Robb, curator of the Billy Ireland Cartoon Library & Museum at Ohio State University; and Steve Brodner, satirical illustrator who has covered eight national political conventions for Esquire, The Progressive, the Village Voice and others. The judges felt there were many strong portfolios in this year's contest, including several animated-only entries and other alternative multi-panel submissions.
On Jack Ohman
Matt Bors:
"a strong variety of work and use of journalistic comics that revitalizes the editorial page. Ohman uses his position to create meaningful change in Nike's support of the disgraced Joe Paterno."
Jenny Robb:
"In addition to producing strong traditional editorial cartoons, Jack Ohman has developed a unique and effective multi-panel strip that is part journalism, part memoir, and part satire. He courageously used the format and his platform at the Oregonian to effect change in his local community and to focus attention on issues of both local and national importance. "
Steve Brodner:
"Jack Ohman's work shows courage and independence in several ways. He is politically brave, formalistically daring and artistically free, while retaining great design and draftsmanship. He also affected actual political change, a rarity in our profession. "


Are you one of these emancipated women we're having so much trouble with at home?
I know very little about spectator sports, as can be demonstrated by the fact that I only found out two days ago that the World Cup was starting yesterday.
No doubt the young marketing chappie who thought up this excruciatingly clever play on words now feels a little foolish.
This, of course, is why you really need Digital Signage: so your message can react quickly to changing events!
I've just seen a very inspiring gadget: the Pool-Mate, from a small UK company called Swimovate. It's a watch designed for swimmers, which will count your strokes, laps, etc and provide a variety of statistics about your swimming. It's an elegant design, simple and affordable – nothing flashy.
This may be of limited interest to those who aren't serious swimmers, but the bits that inspired me were twofold: Firstly, the watch contains a simple two-axis accelerometer. By analysing the movement of your wrist, it can tell all sorts of things about your swimming. This is a lovely bit of signal processing done with very limited CPU power, and with no calibration required. Remember, the signals will be different for each person, and also for each different stroke, arm movements for breaststroke being very different from those used for front crawl.
The second thing that inspired me was meeting the CEO, Lisa Irlam, and hearing how she and her husband built the prototype and then the product with their own funding on a very limited budget. They deserve to be proud, both as technologists and as business people.
All my spare energy is going on dog-walking at present, but if I ever get back to swimming, I'll have to get one of these!

Q: Crystal Report sum by column The Problem
This is the problem with my crystal report, I need to sum values from different columns with the same name.

A: Create a formula for each material that, depending on what position it is, returns the value for it.
For example, 1210P_Kg could follow the logic of:
IF {Material 1} = "1210P" Then {Material 1_Kg}
Else IF {Material 2} = "1210P" Then {Material 2_Kg}
Else IF {Material 3] = "1210P" Then {Material 3_Kg}

Then, show the sum of each of these formulas in a footer section.
A more powerful solution would be to use a UNION view, command, or SP to turn each record into 3 records with Material, Kg, etc.


Cherokee designer Lloyd Kiva New (1916-2002) played an important role in revolutionizing Native customary clothing design in the mid-1900s. He worked in textile arts, leatherwork, and fashion design with his own boutique (opened in Dec 1945) and center (opened in 1955), and he was active in the development of Scottsdale as an arts center. New's handbags and garments were collaborations with other notable Native artists. For example, for one shirt (pictured below), the horse design was painted by Andrew Van Tsinajinnie, then it was silkscreened onto fabric by Manfred Susunkewa. New designed the shirt, and Charles Loloma made the unique silver buttons.
New became the first Native American to show at an international fashion show in 1951 with his participation in the Atlantic City International Fashion Show. In 1952 he showed there again, and was featured in the Los Angeles Times (below). In 1957, Miss Arizona Lynn Freyse wore a Kiva creation at the Miss America Pageant in Atlantic City.
New's business prospered when opportunities for Native people were limited and bounded. Upper-class Anglo women wore his garments made with Native American designs in a time when Native cultures were being smothered out and dissolved into American cities through relocation and termination government policies. He expressed his ideas as to the importance of Native cultures (especially the importance of Native contributions to American society and identity) while emceeing fashion shows by resort pools, being interviewed for national articles, hosting art or cultural events, or consulting on Indian art educational programs.
Throughout his career as a fashion and accessories designer, New incorporated Native design concepts, including symbols, materials, silhouettes, cuts, and color palettes, from various tribes, sometimes combining them, to create items that would work within Anglo American paradigms of gender, class, and ethnicity. New acknowledged social limitations and cultural expectations and worked within these frameworks to create new possibilities for Native people.
New went on to co-found the Institute of American Indian Arts in Santa Fe in 1962.
Read more about New at Native Peoples, or at The New York Times.
I had the creative fun to design and make women's clothes of Kiva fabrics during the late 50's into the 60's until my stash of Kiva fabrics was nearly used up. There were endless renderings of spectacular western sunsets, of Indian ponies, of traditional Indian motifs Kiva was one of the best known artisans in early Scottsdale when it was really "the West's Most Western Town" as it attracted artists and other artisans. Any evening at the Pink Pony or Lulu Belle's, the then hot dinner spots of Scottsdale, a good number of the men would be wearing a Kiva shirt with it's distinctive silver buttons, a bolo tie and casual trousers. When the Kiva shop turned out women's clothes they became the must-have for locals and winter visitors. The Heard Museum in Phoenix highlights Kiva and his accomplishments. I donated some of my Kiva garments to Robert Black's vintage shop in Scottsdale where they can be seen.
As my sister was cleaning out her attic she found a Kiva shirt, with the original silver buttons, that I had made in the 1960's for her 12 year old son. It's a treasure.
