This Caramel Soaked Almond Cake (AKA Toscaka Torte) is all of my dessert dreams come true! It's a cake that's worthy of any celebration and I love that it's brimming with plenty of that irresistible caramel flavor which is perfectly paired with the almonds. There's no question this is a cake I'll make again and again, it is oh so tempting!
I love that this is something different from the cakes I normally make. Even though there's no frosting and it's only a single layer it's still one of the most delicious cakes I've had!
We were instantly smitten by this cake and all of it's rich flavors. I also love the combination of textures – that soft, dense caramel soaked cake finished with those crisp flaky almonds. Mmm MMM!
The recipe for this cake comes from Tatyana Nesteruk's newly released cookbook, The European Cake Cookbook. Tatyana is the food blogger and behind the popular blog Tatyana's Everyday Food. She also has an amazing You Tube channel with an abundance of mesmerizing dessert videos.
I just love her new cookbook! The photos are gorgeous, every recipe looks amazing, I love how she pours her heart into it, and I love that it's filled with cakes I've never tried before! I've always wanted to go to Europe but now I can have a taste of it in my own kitchen.
There are so many recipes I can't wait to try! Each and every cake looks dreamy and talk about showstopper cakes, every single one is beautiful!
Here's a few I can't wait to try – the Apple Sharlotka Cake, Poppy Seed Smetanik, White Chocolate Raspberry Pistachio Mousse Cake, Lemoncello Ricotta Cheesecake, Italian Coconut Creme Cake, Triple Chocolate Swiss Roll, and the Madeira Cake. And pretty much every other cake in the book!
If you'd like to learn more about Tatyana's cookbook and purchase a copy for yourself you can find it on AMAZON. This Toscakaka Torte is an excellent recipe to start with!
This is a cake people will most definitely remember and it's perfect for any celebration! It's a Swedish cake with a tender crumb and an irresistible taste! You'll love how the caramel sauce soaks into the cake and saturates it with flavor, plus it pairs perfectly with the abundance of almonds.
Preheat oven to 335 degrees. Butter a 9-inch springform pan, line bottom with a round of parchment paper and butter parchment.
In the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (preferably one that scrapes bowl while mixing), whip together butter, sugar and dulce de leche on high speed until pale and fluffy.
Add in eggs and vanilla extract and blend on high speed until creamy, gently blend in milk (mixture may look curdled but it's fine).
In a medium mixing bowl whisk together flour, almond flour, baking powder and salt. Sift flour mixture over batter and gently fold just until combined.
Pour batter into prepared springform pan and smooth top. Bake in preheated oven for 30 - 35 minutes, the sides should be set but the center slightly under-baked.
Meanwhile prepare the caramel sauce.
In a heavy-bottomed 2-quart saucepan (something that isn't dark on bottom so you can see the shade of caramel), heat sugar and water over medium-high heat whisking constantly to dissolve sugar.
Once mixture reaches a boil, stop whisking and allow mixture to boil until it reaches a dark amber color, carefully swirling pan occasionally* (this will take time, so be patient).
It will first bubble vigorously and steam and it will be a clear shade, then bubbling will continue but the bubbles will become smaller and slower and it will slowly tint yellowish, then a medium shade of orange.
Once mixture reaches that orange color, immediately add butter and whisk until butter has melted then immediately remove from heat.
Carefully pour in cream and immediately whisk with a long handled whisk to combine (it will bubble vigorously). Whisk until mixture is smooth then pour into a bowl or jar so it doesn't continue to cook.
Remove cake after the 35 minutes then pierce all over with a chopstick. Slowly and evenly pour prepared caramel sauce over the cake (I reserved a few tablespoons to drizzle over the top before serving). Sprinkle with almonds.
Return cake to oven and bake until cooked through, about 10 minutes longer.
Remove from oven and let cake stand 10 minutes then run a knife around edges of cake to loosen and remove pan ring. Sprinkle with sea salt flakes, serve warm or cool completely and store in an airtight container.
*Note that if you are using a gas stove top I've found certain areas tend to cook faster on the gas stovetop, so if you start to see a darker area on the side you can give it a brisk whisking. Also using a wet pasty brush to wet down the dried sugar on the sides helps.
Auntiepatch: heat sugar, salt and water over medium-high heat whisking constantly to dissolve sugar.
I don't see salt in the caramel sauce like it asks for in the directions.


Captain Joshua Dixon, USMC, Tech Transition, PM Marine Air-Ground Task Force, speaks on Current Technologies and Forecasted Trends for Mobility within the Marine Corps.
My family thinks I am an uber-nerd, but these subjects sound fascinating to me. I am a history and military strategy enthusiast so I can't wait.
In my opinion, the military is more advanced on the strategies behind managing a mobile workforce (military) than the commercial sector today. In the United States our military has been undergoing significant transformations for over a decade. This is in response to the end of the cold war, and the realities of the changing nature of global conflict today. Our leaders have demanded we do more with less and rely on technologies to cover the gaps. This has led to dramatic changes in strategies, many of which I write about on this blog and archive in the Mobile Strategies Library.

# Seti UI Icons for Sublime Text

These icons have been lifted from the [Seti_ST3](https://github.com/ctf0/Seti_ST3) Sublime Text port of [jesseweed's](https://github.com/jesseweed/seti-ui) Github Atom theme. You can use it with any other Sublime theme you like, but only if they're dark - [Soda Dark](https://github.com/buymeasoda/soda-theme/) works especially well.

The screenshots below show

![Seti screenshot](img/screenshot-1.jpg)
![Soda Dark 3 screenshot](img/screenshot-3.png)

## Install

### Manual

1. [Download the .zip](https://github.com/ankushdharkar/brogrammer-theme/archive/master.zip)
2. Unzip and rename the folder to `Theme - Brogrammer`
3. Copy the folder into `Packages` directory, which you can find using the menu item `Preferences -> Browse Packages...` in Sublime Text

## Setup

Activate the UI theme and color scheme by modifying your user preferences file, which you can find using the menu item `Preferences -> Settings - User` in Sublime Text or by clicking `cmd + ,` on a Mac.

### Example settings
```
{
  "theme": "Brogrammer.sublime-theme",
  "color_scheme": "Packages/Theme - Brogrammer/brogrammer.tmTheme"
}
```

### Credits
- Seti UI port by [ctf0](https://github.com/ctf0/Seti_ST3)
- Theme is originally by [jesseweed](https://github.com/jesseweed/seti-ui) for Github's Atom editor.
- SetiUI-Icons-Sublime was ported by [mrmartineau](https://github.com/mrmartineau/SetiUI-Icons-Sublime)

## File Icons Notes
- There is a folder included with some files types from `jesseweed` and `DanBrooker` to test the icons.
- Anything less than 'ST3 Build 3062' wont get the sidebar icons to work.

### File Icon Differences from the original

- No file icon in the opened tabs, ST lacks this.
- Not as icon rich as the original because ST can't see anything other than Extensions ,and even though its still hard to use the icon you want.

Can you please confirm the receipt of this note? You don't have to go to work today. The wind drifted the sand. Wouldn't it be better if we went and got a coffee? They have been here since 1989. We just have to do our best.
This problem is too difficult for you to solve. She doesn't drive for fear of an accident. She is longing for city life. I feel naked without accessories. I won't leave you alone.

Macbeth raised an army to attack his enemy.
Unfortunately, our father is not in heaven, but in a jail cell. She promised her father to be in time for lunch. You shouldn't smoke so much. Sabang is the westernmost city in Indonesia. Please tell Louise to wait. Did you see anything else? Do you want to go to the movies? The course of true love never did run smooth. He apologized to me for stepping on my foot. Marco was sleeping when Vistlik rang the doorbell.
Do you have a shoe box where I can put these things? The Sun is in the center of the solar system. Would it be OK if I took a quick shower? What did you do with all the money you stole?

He had the kindness to take me to the hospital. I can't explain that.
It's a slow day, huh. When the teacher is very strict, the students must mind their P's and Q's. Eva is quite reliable. There she blows! It was a forced smile. Don't ask them where they are going. Dan seriously injured a co-worker with his chainsaw. The soldier made light of his wounds. You have to dig down and pay for it. Lucius looked at Bonnie again.

Home and Family Healthy Kids Health Guide
Time for the Tooth Fairy?
The whole tooth about the going rate on teeth, and other fun facts
Christa Melnyk Hines
It seems like just days ago when I waited patiently for my son's first little biters to erupt in his infant mouth. Those days somehow melted magically into years and before I knew it, I could hear the Tooth Fairy fluttering about.
Like many parents, I wondered: What is developmentally normal when it comes to baby tooth loss, how does the tooth-obsessed fairy collect her pearly prizes, and what is the paying pixie's going rate for a baby tooth these days?
Losing those baby teeth
Pediatric dentist Dr. Jill Jenkins says, in general, children lose their first tooth between the ages of 4 and 7 with teeth falling out in the order in which they first came in.
Should you yank a loose tooth?
"Usually, the best policy is to let it come out on its own," Jenkins says. "If the other tooth is coming in, parents can have their child suck on a popsicle to numb the gums and eat pizza crust, carrots or apples. If a tooth is wiggly and we're not seeing the new tooth, letting your child work through it on his own is usually the easiest way and the least stressful way to go about it."
READ MORE: Making the most of your kids trip to the dentist
Be sure to consult your child's dentist if you have any concerns.
Enter the Tooth Fairy
That first loose tooth can cause anxiety for some children. Often, anxiety turns to excitement as children listen to tooth-loss stories exchanged among classmates and anticipate the reward the Tooth Fairy leaves behind.
While the exact origin of the enigmatic Tooth Fairy is steeped in mystery, historically the loss of baby teeth is an important rite of passage.
The earliest known written records regarding baby teeth date from northern Europe and describe a tann-fe, or tooth fee, in which money was paid for a baby tooth.
In the Middle Ages, Europeans, fearing witches could curse their children if they acquired their baby teeth, buried the teeth in the ground.
The Vikings wore baby teeth as jewelry considering them good luck talismans in battle. Other cultures fed the teeth to animals believing the adult tooth would resemble the animal's powerful, strong teeth.
Today, countries all over the world continue to mark the loss of baby teeth with various customs.
In Spain, France, Italy and Mexico, for example, the Tooth Fairy appears as a small white mouse or rat, symbolic because rodents have strong teeth that never stop growing.
In Sweden, the baby tooth is placed in a glass of water where it is mysteriously replaced overnight with coins. And, it is customary in much of the Middle East for baby teeth to be thrown towards the sun and in Asia, onto the roof.
The Tooth Fairy as many of us know her, appeared in the early 1900s.
READ MORE: Having trouble getting your kids to brush?
Cups, pillows, pockets and doors
The Tooth Fairy isn't picky about how she collects baby teeth.
Lori Poland grew up placing her baby teeth in a clear glass of water on her nightstand. She says she loved fishing a wet $2 bill out of the cup the next morning, setting it out to dry and storing it in her memory box.
Although a tooth placed in a plastic Ziploc bag or envelope tucked under the pillow should do the trick, many parents opt for a Tooth Fairy pillow or pouch for their youngster. Retailers offer an assortment of pillows or try making your own.
Monica Bradford designed a Tooth Fairy Pocket for her 6-year-old son when he lost his first tooth.
"He placed his tooth in the pocket, hung it on his bedpost and woke up to find $2 for his first tooth," she says.
Cathy Green, mom of three, says the Tooth Fairy enters their home through a small ceramic door that Green's step-mother designed. The door is outside the kids' bedrooms. After collecting the tooth from a small box under the child's pillow, the Tooth Fairy replaces the tooth with her reward and leaves the box next to the tiny door.
READ MORE: Looking for a new dentist?
What's the going rate?
According to a 2021 survey conducted by Delta Dental, the tooth fairy is paying big bucks. Kids are receiving an average of $5.40 per tooth. That's up 17% from last year. For most kids the going rate for a freshly pulled tooth is between 25 cents and $1.
Beth Foster says that the Tooth Fairy typically pays her kids $1 per tooth although her daughter Logan, 6, discovered a $5 payout under her pillow for her fifth tooth. "This is a Foster tradition and I've been assured the good old fairy does not leave $10 for the tenth," Foster says.
What does the Tooth Fairy do with those teeth?
Legend says that the Tooth Fairy tosses the teeth up to the sky and they become stars. Naturally many theories exist.
Foster's daughter Logan says, "The fairy uses her wand to shrink the teeth to a very small size so she can carry them in a bag with her from house to house. She then takes the teeth to Santa so he can use them to make toys."
Whatever she does with them, with each tooth lost, adulthood gains another foothold on our kids. No wonder through the ages we've found ways to mark this stage in our kids' lives, which seems as fleeting as the Tooth Fairy herself.
Freelance journalist, Christa Melnyk Hines, and her husband are the parents of two boys.

The Marvelous Month of MasterWorks!
[To share this page, send people to RichDrama.com/MWF.]
We're constantly amazed by the depth of growth spiritually and artistically that happens at MasterWorks, and this year was no exception!
The schnoz Brandon Langeland used for the title role of our MasterWorks production of Cyrano de Bergerac cast a long shadow.
We produced Cyrano de Bergerac, the story of a swashbuckling hero who won't dare to express his love for Roxane because he believes that his long nose makes him too ugly for her to love in return. Here are my closing statements after the last performance:
The level of professionalism our students brought to it was astonishing. We've been so pleased with the steady artistic growth in the program that next year we're taking our production of Karol Wojtyla's The Jeweler's Shop to New York City. More on that as details develop.
This year's faculty brought spiritual and artistic insights from several cultural hubs: NYC, LA, Chicago, Atlanta, Melbourne, Virginia Beach and Jackson.
Curt Cloninger, who gave the very first one-man play I'd ever seen, inspiring me to make a 15 year career of it, came from Atlanta to share his play Witnesses for the Festival and community. It introduces us to people who knew Jesus first hand: They were witnesses of his walk on earth. Curt has taken his plays around the world and performed them for live audiences as large as 30,000. The way the play was received by our community gives me hope that he has inspired a new generation to use its gifts for the Kingdom.
LA casting director, Bev Holloway, returned for her fourth straight year. She's worked on more than 30 projects, including Like Dandelion Dust with Barry Pepper (nominated for the Emmy, Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild awards) and Oscar winner Mira Sorvino. She came fresh from Thailand with stories of casting the upcoming film Trade of Innocents in which Sorvino also performed.
Colin Harbinson, a Brit who makes his home in Jackson, MS, has worked for forty years in the arts, education and missions. He is the creator of the internationally performed musical Toymaker and Son. He preached to the whole MasterWorks community using the story of Lazarus to talk about the death of a vision, and how the Lord resurrects greater things if we choose not to live in our woundedness. The stories he used as illustrations were profound and moving, as was his time with the theatre company the next day.
Susan Sommerville Brown, was back for her seventh straight season. She shared insights gained from decades of professional work on Broadway and in Chicago. She brought Maria Callas to life in a monologue from Master Class for one of our faculty recitals.
New Yorker Patricia Mauceri was also back for her seventh season. She shared stories of taking master classes with Callas that brought new meaning to Susie's work. As always, she worked with our students to build the spiritual lives of their characters.
This was the Festival's 15th anniversary, and to celebrate, we featured two alumni, who recently earned their masters degrees in Virginia Beach at Regent University: Chad Rasor served as fight choreographer for our play and Brandon Langeland, who played Cyrano, taught improv classes which culminated in what is a highlight of the Festival every year, our Theatre Improv Night, which segued into improvised worship and enacted prayer. We also had a Skype call with a MasterWorks alum, Irene Kao. She stayed up late to speak in our first class of the day. She's studying acting in Melbourne, Australia, at the National Institute of Dramatic Art, where Nicole Kidman and Russell Crowe trained.
Just before MasterWorks started this year I took a four-day course on Whole Brain® Thinking. I used some of what I'd learned with our MasterWorks students to help them understand how they and the characters they played think.
I performed Paradise Lost for the festival with MasterWorks faculty members Terry Ewell and Doris DeLoach. Ewell wrote this new work, based on Milton's epic poem, for the International Double Reed Conference in Tempe, AZ, at which we had just performed. We also performed it in Baltimore, MD, for YouTube.
All our instructors impart not only their expertise and wisdom in acting for stage and film, but they also share their testimonies as followers of Christ. On our final day as a company each student shared his or her purpose statement. We were all sobbing to hear the breakthroughs students had made on many levels throughout the month.
On the final day of the festival the entire community erected a pile of rocks commemorating the decisions we'd made throughout the month.

The Secrets of Jonathan Sperry
We LOVED The Secrets of Jonathan Sperry! Such a sweet story. It was produced by Chad Gundersen, who produced A Christmas Snow in which I played Claud. The casting director was Beverly Kennedy Holloway, who is a regular at MasterWorks. I was a huge Love Boat fan, and Gavin MacLeod was one of the first actors I ever met. He's a gem, and his work in this film is so touching. Thrilled to hear him say this role was the pinacle of his career.
Report on Asia
This morning I reported on our recent adventures in Taiwan, Singapore, Oregon and Writers' Block. For photos from the our time in Asia visit SwinglesInAsia2011.Shutterfly.com, and for more stories visit this blog's September and October 2011 archives.
Report on Writers' Block
This morning at Westchester Chapel I shared about the overwhelmingingly positive experience I had performing the role of Forrest Woods in Writers' Block.
Freud's Last Session
After our board meetings today we went out to see shows. Most had already Freud's Last Session in NYC the month it opened (July 2010). That production is now moving to another theatre and is currently the longest running play Off-Broadway. But I've been out of town so much I haven't been able to take it in. So I saw it here in Atlanta.

The Screenwriters
I'm excited to have played the Hollywood director Forrest "Woodsy" Woods in this fun 1940's film about a couple of writers who are locked in a room and can't come out until the script is done... at 8am the next morning.
It debuted to a packed room with about 50 people standing at the Christian Worldview Film Festival in San Antonio, March 2015. It received the Audience Choice Award Runner Up.
You can watch it now: TheScreenwritersMovie.com and on Amazon Prime.
Jason Burkey plays one of the writers. He played the lead role in For the Glory in which I played his soccer coach.
Jenn Gotzon plays the ingenue, and Jim McKeny is my character's producer. Jenn and Jim both performed in Alone Yet Not Alone with me, and several of the behind-the-scenes folks, including executive producer George Escobar and casting director Rebekah Cook, who played my daughter in Indescribable, also worked on Alone.

I got to report on this overwhelmingly positive experience at Westchester Chapel.
Response from Taiwan
We've been quite busy lately, so now that I'm flying home from Oregon I'm finally looking through responses from students at Morrison Academy in Taiwan where Joyce and I led the Spiritual Life Week. I'm weeping over some of the encouraging things the seventh graders wrote! Here are a few samples:
"Dear Mr. and Mrs. Swingle...it's hard to believe how you can sacrifice everything for God. :) I hope that I'll be able to do that when I grow up."
"Thank you for coming all the way to Taiwan to teach us."
"I...am very grateful that you would come to our school to talk to us."
"I enjoyed this week's talks."
"Thank you for bringing me closer to God."
"I think the acting helps lead people closer to God."
"We really learned a lot this week."
"I learned many new things I never knew."
"Now I am comforted to know that God will never leave me because of what Jesus did."
"I learned a lot about trust. I will always remember it."
"I learned to trust God even when it seems impossible."
"I learned that...we should always give thanks to God."
"I learned that God will make scary things exciting."
"I...learned that serving God can be fun and done in many ways."
"Thank you for teaching us about wisdom...and telling us that it is wonderful to trust and obey God."
"Combining acting and an interesting perspective on the Bible made this Spiritual Life Week a memorable one."
"Before you came, I didn't realize how important trust was... There (were) a lot of times that I was lost. Now I know that when we trust God He guides us through the valley of the shadow of death."
"I learned... that knowing God is the best thing you can ever have! It guides you through darkness and comforts you when you're heartbroken. I know that sometimes I may feel forsaken by God, but He's always with us."
"I have learned that nothing can really make you happy except for Jesus' love. I have my entire life to learn and serve Jesus."
"One thing I learned was that you can always trust the Lord."
"Two things I've learned: Trust in the Lord through darkness and rough times. Always believe that God will be there for you even if you don't see Him."
"It really made me think about my life and how I can change it to make it better."
"I learned that trusting God really can make a difference, and I shouldn't be afraid when God asks me to do something; just do it, and great things will happen!"
"Thank you for changing my life."
"It has been an awesome week. Thanks!"
"Our school feels encouraged!"
"We will miss you!"
"Please visit us again sometime."
Joyce and I had so much fun working together we'd love to do Spiritual Life Weeks all the time. If you know of a school that has a Spiritual Life Week, please send them to http://RichDrama.com.
Performing at my alma mater
I'm on the campus of George Fox University, where my play The Acts is being featured for Homecoming and my 20th reunion.
I get to talk after my performances about how an education at George Fox helped prepare me for full-time work in the performing arts. I actually had several epiphanies that I hadn't thought about for a while: saw my first one-man play (Curt Cloninger) here; saw my second one-man play (Roger Nelson) with a group from George Fox; my stint in the Players was basically a prototype for what I do now; a chapel speaker invited us to walk to the front if we were willing to go anywhere for the Lord. One of the theatre profs, Rhett Luedtke, said at our Players dinner that they focus on preparing Servant Storytellers. When I was a student that term wasn't used, but that was exactly how we were being prepared 20 years ago.

I got to perform Beyond the Chariots at an invitation-only event at the Joyden Theatre at the Iluma Centre (pictured below) for Singapore's Youth Day. There were about 250 children and their families that came from around this island nation from a variety of churches. Some were invited through the Good News Club, which was an organization that helped me grow in my faith when I was a young boy. As the children came sweeping into the theatre I began to weep. I was so moved by the potential in their lives. Our prayer is that the seeds that were planted last night will grow for their lifetimes!

At least 40 infected with COVID-19 on Norway cruises amid scramble to trace passengers

The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak, in Tromso
By Terje Solsvik
OSLO (Reuters) - At least 40 passengers and crew from a luxury cruise liner have tested positive for COVID-19 and the authorities are still trying to trace a number of passengers from two recent Arctic voyages, public health officials in Norway said on Sunday.
Four crew members on the MS Roald Amundsen were hospitalised on Friday when the ship arrived at the port of Tromsoe, and later diagnosed with the respiratory illness. Tests showed another 32 of the 158 staff were also infected.
While the crew was quarantined on the ship, the 178 passengers who arrived on Friday were allowed to disembark before anyone had been diagnosed, triggering a complex operation to locate them in order to contain any potential spread.
So far, four of the combined 387 passengers travelling on the ship on two separate cruises since July 17 have been found to carry the virus, the Norwegian Institute of Public Health (FHI) and the Tromsoe municipality said.
"We expect that more infections will be found in connection to this outbreak," said Line Vold, a senior FHI executive, adding that the passengers have been told so self-isolate.
The Hurtigruten line, owner of the MS Roald Amundsen as well as 15 other vessels, in mid-June became the first to return an oceangoing cruise ship to service following a three-month halt due to the pandemic.
Asked later on Sunday whether the authorities had by now located and tested everyone potentially infected aboard the cruise liner, an FHI spokesman said: "Messages have been sent to all the passengers. We're now seeking to verify that the information has been received and understood."
Among the infected crew, 32 were from the Philippines while the rest were of Norwegian, French and German nationality, operator Hurtigruten said.
"We are working hard to contain this outbreak in order to limit the spread in the general population," Tromsoe municipality chief doctor Kathrine Kristoffersen told a news conference.
At the start of coronavirus outbreak in early 2020, thousands of passengers became stranded on cruise vessels in the waters of Asia, the United States and elsewhere, leading operators to cancel journeys and triggering mass layoffs.
With measures such as reduced passenger capacity, social distancing and strict rules on hygiene, Hurtigruten aimed to persuade customers to return to the cruise industry.
The MS Roald Amundsen is scheduled to sail around the British Isles in September, docking at ports in England and Scotland.

36 crew test positive for virus on Norwegian cruise ship

Oslo (AFP) - Thirty-six crew members confined on a Norwegian cruise ship have tested positive for the new coronavirus, officials said Saturday.
Arriving at the northern Norwegian port of Tromso from the archipelago of Svalbard, the crew of the MS Roald Amundsen was quarantined on board the ship on Friday after four staff members tested positive for the virus and were hospitalised.
Of the 158 crew members on board, 36 are infected, Pal Jakobsen, media officer for the city of Tromso, told AFP, confirming a development that raises fears of a resurgence of cases in Norway.
The ship's company Hurtigruten had earlier indicated 33 positive tests. The infected crew were all Filipino apart from three people from France, Norway and Germany.
The company said on Friday that four crew members "were isolated several days ago because of other disease symptoms, with no symptoms of COVID-19.
"There was no reason to suspect COVID-19 when the ship docked in Tromso based on the symptoms they were showing," Hurtigruten said.
The ship had nearly 180 passengers on board since departing on July 25. None of the passengers reported symptoms related to coronavirus during the voyage, Hurtigruten said.
All passengers disembarked the ship on Friday but about 60 people have since been quarantined in Tromso, the cruise line said on Saturday.
The Norwegian Institute of Public Health has not ruled out the possibility of more cases emerging, "but we will only have the answer once the tests have been carried out". It recommended all passengers remain quarantined while awaiting their results.
As of Friday, Norway had 9,208 confirmed cases of coronavirus.
One person died of the virus on Friday night, bringing the country's death toll to 256. It was the first coronavirus-related death in the Nordic country in two weeks.

Hello hello to my 744 blog followers!
Let's be honest…I only know who about 13 of you are…so I'm not really sure who out there is reading this, but I'd love to hear from you if you read this so I can know who's out there!
Until now, my blogs primary focus has been on food, mixed with tidbits of my personal, physical journey's in life. I'm taking a shift in focus and while I will always share something food related, (view my youtube video of me making raw-vegan sushi below), I'm going to focus on writing about my spiritual journey.
I feel as my entire journey of moving from Colorado to California to Oregon, to Colorado and to Israel, was done in a rather quick manner because my soul was telling me I NEEDED to move quickly in order to get to where she wants to be; in Israel.
So now I'm here, and my soul is trying to get me to recognize her. Last month when I traveled to the States for a month I read the book G-d Winked, by Sara Yocheved Rigler, and as I read this book my heart began to beat faster than usual. As if I was reading my truth and up until this point, I had not known myself.
The book talks about G-d and Judaism. If I lost you now that I'm talking about G-d, let's come to an understanding. In my mind G-d is the Infinite Energy and Master that controls the world I'm living in, (for you, Universe, Jah, Spirit etc. might explain the same feeling). So I've been praying to G-d a lot recently and rather quickly I seem to be learning more and more things about myself that just seem right.
For example, as I was walking Charlie(my pup), the other day I was practicing Hitbodedut (a practice in which I pray out loud, wherein B'H I'm able to communicate things from the higher realms), and I said to G-d, "I am having a hard time calling you King or master when I'm telling you about my problems in life. How am I to address You? And suddenly it came to me: Magnificence! Magnificence is one of the names for Hashem and all of a sudden I felt Magnificent myself and was able to have a genuine heart to heart!
On this same walk I thought about a conversation I had with a friend regarding tattoos. He told me I should get a tattoo of G-d on me…so I told him that would mean I would get a tattoo of myself? (We are all made in the image of Hashem right)? And suddenly, BOOM!!! I felt like I needed to cover myself up! I have been wearing skirts for five days now!
The new Hebrew month of Tamuz just began and this is a month that takes us from darkness to light, if we are able to control our ego. I'm in a place in my life that feels so close to knowing my true self, yet every time i discover something about myself my ego kicks in and tells me to go back to my old ways.
Well guess what ego, I'm here to fight you and love you and tell you, with G-ds help, everything will be ok.
Please say hello, if you're out there!
Hi Julie, This is Shari Goldstein, I met you when you came to my house in Denver to drop off Yonaton who was going to Camp Ramah. I am enjoying your blogs and hope that you will continue on your great journey. Stop my next time you are in Colorado. Enjoy!
Thanks for reading Shari! Next time I'm in Denver I hope to do a few cooking workshops!
Beautifully written Chanah! As your Daddy, it warms my heart to hear how you are connecting with your Neshama and listening to it as well. You go girl, I could not be more proud of you!!
Thanks for sharing and love you!

Q: Installing ASP .NET Core service to IIS using Visual Studio Installer Projects I have a ASP .NET Core 3.1 application which is hosted as a windows service using IHostBuilder.UseWindowsService call. I am preparing a setup project using Visual Studio Installer Projects Extensions. The project is created as Web Setup project type so that the installer dialog already presents to the user selection of web page and application pool on IIS.
The problem I'm facing is that the assemblies are successfully installed in given folder on IIS, but the ApplicationService.deps.json is not installed. Without this file the application does not start successfully. As far as I have checked the file is created as part of the build in bin\x64\Release\netcoreapp3.1\ but is apparently not included by the Setup project.
I've played around also with Setup project's property PublishProfilePath by specify the profile that I generated when manually trying to publish from Visual Studio to IIS:

However, this produces even stranger results. The application is deployed to the IIS already when I build the Setup project! Then when check the newly created msi, it's size is really small and in fact does not install anything (completes successfully though).
Any help would be highly appreciated.

A: I managed to solve the problem, though I'm not sure if that's the optimal solution. In the setup project, you can include as part of the output also individual files. If I add the ApplicationService.deps.json it is marked with a relative path in the setup project itself. This means that once setup project is being build, the ApplicationService project is anyway built first as it's the primary output of setup project. At that point `ApplicationService.deps.json' is present in the Release folder. Then as msi is being created it's included as part of the output.
It works, but I would prefer that the setup project would include that file automatically.

Arlington Community Schools is the municipal school district in Arlington, Tennessee in Greater Memphis.

History
After Memphis City Schools and Shelby County Schools were merged in March 2011 (effective beginning 2013–2014 school year), several local municipalities attempted to create their own districts. After a protracted legal battle, several municipalities won the right to create their own school districts.

Arlington Community Schools provides K-12 education for students residing within the municipal boundaries of the Town of Arlington. Through an Interlocal Agreement between Arlington Community Schools and Lakeland School System, high (9-12) school students in the neighboring municipality of Lakeland attend Arlington High School.

In December 2013 the district selected as its superintendent Tammy Mason, the former principal of Arlington High School.

A Short History of "Feminist" Anti-Feminists
The early sisters of Sarah Palin.
By Amanda Marcotte
Sarah Palin made quite the splash recently with her comments to the anti-abortion group the Susan B. Anthony List about conservative women reclaiming feminism, asserting that anti-choicers were "returning the woman's movement back to its original roots." Because no central authority exists to control use of the word feminist, Palin's cooption of the term caused anxious questions: Is there such thing as conservative feminism? Can you be a feminist who opposes abortion rights? Does the word feminism mean anything at all? Does merely wearing a power suit and smart-girl glasses automatically make you a feminist?
The invocation of the word feminist at a meeting of anti-abortion women can be confusing, but it shouldn't be. There's no real reason to consider Sarah Palin a feminist. She's just the latest incarnation of a long and noble line of feminist anti-feminists: women who call themselves feminist but also object to the existence of the feminist movement and organize in opposition to it. Feminist anti-feminism has evolved in the shadow of feminism since the days when many women adamantly insisted they didn't want or need the right to vote. And as feminism has morphed rapidly since the early days of the second wave, so has anti-feminism changed arguments and strategies, going through three distinct phases.
Phase I:Plain Ol' Anti-Feminism
Iconic Leader: Phyllis Schafly of the Eagle Forum
Other examples: Beverly LaHaye and the Concerned Women for America, Connaught C. Marshner of the Heritage Foundation, Judie Brown of the American Life League, Janice Shaw Crouse.
Basic argument: God/nature made women and men different so they could play different roles. Women are well-suited to stay at home, submit to their husbands, and dedicate themselves to the task of supporting a man. Anything other than this is an assault on the family. Those looking out for women's best interests want to encourage women to adopt sweetness and submission in order to better catch a chivalrous husband.
Classic quote: From Phyllis Schlafly: "It's very healthy for a young girl to be deterred from promiscuity by fear of contracting a painful, incurable disease, or cervical cancer, or sterility, or the likelihood of giving birth to a dead, blind, or brain-damaged baby (even 10 years later when she may be happily married)."
Motivation: They were alarmed by a rash of feminist victories in the '60s and '70s that secured the right to equal pay, access birth control and abortion, and no-fault divorce, coupled with a stampede of women into the workplace. Young feminists, who embraced a form of sexy that involved breathable underwear and hair that didn't take much time to do, were easy to resent. Anti-feminists were able to mobilize by appealing to women who felt left out of the feminist revolution and hinting to housewives that more women in the workplace meant more opportunities for your husband to cheat.
Major victories: Overturning the Equal Rights Amendment; creating the anti-abortion movement; stopping federally subsidized day-care; stalling further action on equal pay; sending the feminist movement into remission.
Why they eventually faded: Economic necessity drove more women to work, which meant that even women who might have been sympathetic to feminist anti-feminist arguments found themselves taking advantage of actual feminist advancements. Susan Faluldi injured the anti-feminist movement in her book Backlash, when she demonstrated that many of the leaders enjoyed both professional careers and husbands who shared domestic responsibilities, even as these leaders argued against these perks for other women.
Phase II:"Independent Feminism" Anti-Feminism
Iconic Leader: Camille Paglia
Other examples: Christina Hoff-Summers, Wendy McElroy, Kathleen Parker, Heather MacDonald.
Basic argument: The important work of feminism is over, and whatever movement is left exists primarily to demonize men and the awe-inspiring male sexual spirit.
Classic quote: From Camille Paglia: "You have to accept the fact that part of the sizzle of sex comes from the danger of sex. You can be overpowered."
Motivation: In the '80s and '90s, the feminist movement kicked into high gear to fight sexual and domestic violence. Independent feminists saw touchstones such as the Take Back the Night rallies, the Clarence Thomas hearings, a rash of anti-sexual harassment policies, and the emergence of the phrase "date rape" as nothing more than feminists telling women that they were delicate flowers unable to handle the intimidating ribaldry and exciting hints of violence that mark the true male spirit.
Major victories: Maintaining a cultural and legal framework that made it difficult to prosecute rape; convincing the public that most acquaintance rapes were nothing but bad sex later regretted; turning Andrea Dworkin's name into a punchline.
Why they eventually faded: The emergence of third-wave feminists, pro-sex feminists, riot grrls singing "I like f*cking," and, eventually, hip, young feminist-bloggers made it hard for "independent" feminists to maintain the argument that feminism was a hairy-legged, anti-sex monolith that used sexual assault and harassment as a pretext to bash men. The indisputably sex-positive gay rights movement fell more in line with mainstream feminism. Camille Paglia's increasingly incoherent missives became an embarrassment.
Phase III:Co-opting Feminism Anti-Feminists
Iconic Leader: Sarah Palin
Other examples: Feminists for Life, Patricia Heaton, Caitlin Flanagan, Susan B. Anthony List, Laura Sessions Stepp
Basic argument: 19th century feminists who struggled for the vote and education did a great thing, but modern feminism only exists to trick women into thinking they want abortions, higher taxes, electric cars, and unfettered access to orgasmic experiences.
Classic quote: From Caitlin Flanagan: "[T]he forces of feminism have worked relentlessly to erode the patriarchy—which, despite its manifold evils, held that providing for the sexual safety of young girls was among its primary reasons for existence."
Motivation: With the exception of Caitlin Flanagan, most of them have wised-up to the fact that it's hypocrisy to oppose professional careers for women while maintaining a professional career. They like feminist victories that make it possible for them to be taken seriously at their own jobs but object to feminist innovations that make it easier to for all women to delay or even avoid marriage and childbirth. The popularity of Sex and the City, while not written or endorsed by any major feminists, seems to have been what really set many of them off.
Major victories: Pushing abstinence-only education into schools; creating a whole new class of abortion restrictions based on the faulty premise that women who have abortions don't know what they're doing; inventing the term "hook-up culture" and convincing the public that young women are having a new, scary kind of sex; sowing confusion about where the suffragists stood on family planning.
Still going strong: Few Americans can remember what it was like in the days when abortion was illegal and shotgun marriages were the norm. It's easy for anti-feminists to exploit this to paint a rosy picture of how much better life was then, and much harder for feminists to convince the public of the necessity of these hard-won sexual rights.
Should feminists celebrate any aspect of Sarah Palin declaring herself a feminist? In a sense, yes. Every generation of anti-feminists concedes more ground to feminists, and sometimes feminist anti-feminist women switch sides to support policies like Title IX and the Lilly Ledbetter Act. But with women like Palin claiming they're the real feminists, the public might grow to think of "feminism" as a movement that only supports women if they're lucky enough to be independently wealthy, married mothers.

Roland Bühlmann – Aineo (progressive rock)
There is a minimal aesthetic to Aineo, but its compositions are structured hierarchically, not by any remotely Minimalist procedure. It's an instrumental record, with cool, low-key textures, that, for the most part, can be uncontroversially classified as rock – a few folky moments notwithstanding. Everything about it conforms to established norms that say, roughly, each element in a texture will be active and melodically significant in direct proportion to its pitch. The music is not unremittingly monodic, and its textures are frequently more prominent than melodies that, if present, are sometimes no more than coincidences at …
Various Artists – Album Roundup
Mark Harrison and his very capable band (whose members include the extremely talented duo Josienne Clarke and Ben Walker) play a curiously English take on American roots music. Their stylistic materials mine the cracks between country blues and old time country music, continuing a UK tradition that began with skiffle and was nourished by the likes of Ramblin' Jack Elliot and the pop-jug-band sounds of Canned Heat. There's a sense when listening to American performers in such styles, particularly the older ones, that they are singing from beneath a heavy encrustation of …
The Fierce And The Dead – Spooky Action (avant-rock)
It used to make a certain amount of sense to refer to The Fierce And The Dead as a post-rock band, and they have indeed been known to make use of that term themselves; I feel they've moved on, however, into some kind of a post-post-rock phase. Leaving aside my irritation at contemporary culture's tendency to append the prefix post- to anything and everything, it's a good enough term to describe a particular form of predominantly instrumental, texturally inclined music that employs the resources of rock; it's a term with currency, pointing to an established set of stylistic practices, and to some…
Review Of The Year 2012, Part 2: 12 EPs
In previous years I've assembled my annual review solely from album length releases; it's interesting to note that the vast majority of music I come across, whether I actively discover it or somebody sends it to me for review, is in something resembling album format (notwithstanding that most of it reaches me as a sequence of ones and zeros). However, I do receive EPs and singles, and some of the very best music I've heard this year has come my way in shorter releases. It's clearly time I reflected this in my end of year review, and as it would seem strange to compare two track singles with seventy minute albums, I've decided to assemble my favourites in two parts …
Various Artists – Singles and EPs
This sophomore EP from The Light That Kills is less granular, more directionally narrative than the debut A Day That We Drift And Fall. This is not to say that it consists of conventional musical phrases arranged according to a nice, accessible formal grammar; that really would be weird, given Scott Crocker's established experimental proclivities, but there is a far less atemporal approach to the succession of events, and there is a discernible dramatic arc to most of these pieces. There is also a more extended use of recognisable sonic sources, including some protracted free-rock improvisation in 'Woken By Bells', 'Letting Go The Gods' and particularly, most successfully, 'New Eden'.
The Inner Road – Visions (progressive rock)
Rock music is such an integral part of our audio culture that it has almost become invisible as a thing in itself: it doesn't sound like rock music to many ears, in many contexts, but just like music. Furthermore, because of the way in which it is usually experienced, as a currency of mass culture, and thus a vehicle for a whole raft of subtly differentiated associations, those associations tend to obscure the physical 'aurality' of the music. The song is heard, with all its lyrical denotations, and the points of identification around which a listening subject may construct itself, but because that listening subject is typically alert to the…
The Fierce And The Dead – If It Carries On Like This We Are Moving To Morecambe (post-rock)
This album contains, but does not start with, the follow up to TFATD's initial release, Part 1, an EP consisting of a single eighteen minute track called 'Part 1'. 'Part 2' is only a little over five minutes in length, but it does cram a remarkable amount of dramatic incident into that span.
I'm a writer, and these are my friends.
This is an inactive site:
After a recent forced hiatus from writing music I've had an opportunity to reasess my creative priorities, and the varying demands they make on my time. I've come to the conclusion that between making music and writing fiction all of my unpaid creative time is more than spoken for, so I've regretfully had to make the decision to withdraw from writing music reviews. I no longer solicit submissions, and I will no longer write about music on a regular basis, although from time to time I may be moved to set fingers to keys in respect of something I've been listening to.

Chad Guy Bertrand le Clos () este un înotător sud-african laureat cu trei medalii olimpice, inclusiv una de aur, din două participări la Jocurile Olimpice: Londra 2012 și Rio de Janeiro 2016. A fost și triplu campion mondial în 2013 și 2015.

Carieră
Primul sport pe care l-a practicat a fost fotbal. S-a apucat de înotul de performanță din copilărie și a luat parte la prima sa competiție la vârsta de zece ani. A fost inspirat de performanța lui Michael Phelps la Jocurile Olimpice din 2008 de la Beijing să se specialize în stilul fluture.

El a ajuns la cel mai înalt nivel la Jocurile Commonwealth-ului din 2010, unde a cucerit două medalii de aur, una de argint și două medalii de bronz. A cucerit titlul la proba de 200 m fluture și la cea de 400 m fluture, doborând  și recordul Jocurilor la aceste probe.

La Jocurile Olimpice din 2012 a creat surpriză, cucerind medalia de aur la proba de 200 m fluture cu 0,05 secundă avans față de Michael Phelps. Câteva zile mai târziu, a obținut argintul pe distanța de 100 m, fiind depășit de Phelps de dată asta.

În 2013, după ce Phelps s-a retras, a devenit campion mondial în bazin lung atât la 100 m fluture, cât și la 200 m fluture. Un an mai târziu, Phelps s-a razgandit, explicând că proba de fluture nu era "chiar atât de repede". La Campionatul Mondial din 2015, în absența lui Michael Phelps, Le Clos și-a aparat titlul mondial la proba de 100 m fluture cu timpul de 50,56 s, stabilind un nou record african. A declarat în presă: "Acum [Michael Phelps] poate tace din gură." A fost depășit de ungurul László Cseh pe distanța de 200 m și s-a mulțumit cu argintul.

La Jocurile Olimpice din 2016 de la Rio de Janeiro, a obținut medalia de aur la proba de 200 m stil liber. În proba de 200 m fluture s-a clasat pe locul 4, Michael Phelps cucerind medalia de aur.

Die CC 21000 war eine Baureihe elektrischer Lokomotiven der französischen Staatsbahn SNCF. Die vier gebauten Maschinen waren für beide französische Stromsysteme (1500 V Gleichspannung sowie 25 kV Wechselspannung mit 50 Hz) konzipiert und zu ihrer Entstehungszeit mit 5520 kW die leistungsfähigsten Lokomotiven der SNCF. Ab 1995 wurden sie in die Gleichstromvariante CC 6500 umgebaut und dieser Baureihe zugeordnet (Betriebsnummern 6575 bis 6578). Im Jahr 2007 wurden die letzten CC 6500 ausgemustert, darunter die Lok 6575, die fahrfähig erhalten blieb, in Nîmes stationiert ist und wieder die Nummer 21001 trägt.

Geschichte
Die Lokomotiven entstanden aufbauend auf den Erfahrungen mit den Mehrsystemfahrzeugen der Reihen BB 25500 und CC 40100. Die SNCF entwickelte mit Alsthom diese Zweisystemlokomotiven für eine Höchstgeschwindigkeit von 220 km/h und die Stromsysteme 1,5 kV Gleich- sowie 25 kV Wechselspannung mit 50 Hz. Äußerlich sind die Lokomotiven den Diesellokomotiven CC 72000 ähnlich, von denen sie sich nur in der Dachpartie und der Anordnung der Lüfterpartien in den Seitenwänden unterscheiden. So stimmen auch Elemente der elektrischen Ausrüstung beider Baureihen überein. Das als "Nez cassés" bezeichnete Design wurde von Paul Arzens entworfen.

Mit der CC 21000 wurde die bisher dahin sehr verbreitete Mehrfachtraktion der Züge durch vierachsige Lokomotiven abgelöst. 1969 wurden zwei Probelokomotiven in Dienst gestellt, die die Betriebsnummern 21001 und 21002 erhielten. Gleichzeitig wurden den CC 21000 entsprechende CC 6500 nur für 1,5 kV Gleichspannung gebaut. Auch war geplant, eine Schwesterbaureihe für 25 kV Wechselspannung zu entwickeln, die die Bezeichnung CC 14500 erhalten sollte. Letztendlich wurden ab 1971 als "Nez cassés"-Lokomotiven für das 25-kV-Netz 65 Exemplare der Reihe BB 15000 gefertigt.

Die SNCF hatte geplant, insgesamt fünf Maschinen der Reihe CC 21000 bauen zu lassen. Tatsächlich wurden 1974 nur noch zwei Exemplare gefertigt, sodass der Gesamtbestand vier Lokomotiven betrug, die sämtlich in Dijon stationiert wurden. Die nachgefertigten Loks unterschieden sich von den beiden ersten optisch durch anders geformte seitliche Lüftergitter mit senkrechten statt waagrechten Lamellen.

Während der Testphase erreichte die 21001 eine Geschwindigkeit von 281 km/h. Die CC 21000 und die CC 6500 waren für namhafte Expresszüge wie Le Capitole, Le Drapeau, Puerta del Sol und Le Lyonnais zuständig. Die 21003 und 21004 bespannten speziell TEE-Züge zwischen Frankreich und der Schweiz, und hier insbesondere den Cisalpin. Aber auch die 21001 und 21002 kamen über die Bahnstrecke Frasne–Les Verrières bis zum Systemwechselbahnhof Pontarlier, da die Baureihe die als "La Bosse" bezeichnete Rampe mit einer Anhängelast von bis zu 800 t befahren konnte. 1995 begann der Umbau aller CC 21000 in Gleichstromlokomotiven.

Mit der Inbetriebnahme weiterer TGV-Hochgeschwindigkeitszüge wurde der Bestand der CC 6500 nach und nach reduziert. Die umgebauten ehemaligen CC 21000 waren danach auch vor Güterzügen keine Seltenheit mehr und bis 2007 wurden alle Lokomotiven ausgemustert. Die 6575 wurde danach als CC 21001 wieder aufgebaut und befindet sich seit 2009 im Eisenbahnmuseum Musée du Chemin de Fer in Nîmes.

Technische Beschreibung
Die Lokomotive zählt zu der Familie der "Nez cassés", die markante Kastenform stammt von Paul Arzens. Mit dieser Form der rückgewinkelten Frontscheiben wurde besonders die Sichtverhältnisse für die Triebfahrzeugführer verbessert und die Blendgefahr beseitigt. Gegenüber den CC 40100 fällt besonders die abgerundete Stirnfront auf, außerdem fehlen bei den CC 21000 die gesickten Seitenwände sowie der markante Scheinwerfer. Zur Verkleidung der Stirnwände sind Plastik-Lamminat-Bleche verwendet worden.

Der Lokrahmen ist überwiegend aus geschweißten Hohlprofilen aus rostfreiem Stahl hergestellt. Er besteht aus den beiden Längs- und mehreren Querträgern. Der Lokkasten ist in Selbsttragender Konstruktion in Schweißtechnik fachwerkartig hergestellt. Die Seitenwände bestehen ebenfalls aus rostfreiem Stahl und sind mit dem Kastengerippe verschweißt. Die Dachsegmente bestehen aus fünf Elementen und sind zur Demontage der Maschinenanlage leicht demontierbar. Bei den Drehgestellen wurde prinzipiell die einmotorige, dreiachsige Ausführung der CC 40100 übernommen. Jedes Drehgestell trägt über vier Gummilager den Lokkasten, diese übernehmen gleichzeitig die Drehbewegung bei Bogenfahrt. Zugstäbe schaffen die Verbindung zwischen den Drehgestellen und dem Lokkasten. Durch regulierbare Stützen wird die Bewegungsmöglichkeit der Drehgestelle eingeschränkt, eine Querverschiebung ist in den Maßen von ±60 mm möglich. Die Achslager sind in Lemniskatenlenker geführt, die in Bögen auftretenden Querkräfte werden durch Silentblocs aufgenommen.

Das Laufwerk der Lokomotive ähnelt dem der CC 40100. Fahrmotor und Umschaltgetriebe zwischen den beiden Geschwindigkeitsstufen 220 km/h (heute bei der 6575 nur noch 160 km/h zulässig) und der Stellung Güterzüge für Höchstgeschwindigkeit 100 km/h sind ebenso im Drehgestell untergebracht. Zwischen beiden Geschwindigkeitsstufen konnte im Stillstand der Lokomotive umgeschaltet werden. Zwischen dem Motor und dem Umschaltgetriebe befindet sich noch ein Zwischengetriebe. Da die Fahrmotoren als Tandemmotoren ausgeführt wurden, ist auch der Hohlwellen-Antrieb mit zwei Hohlwellen und einseitigem tanzendem Ring ausgeführt. Zwischen beiden Hohlwellen besteht Verbindung über eine Kardanwelle. Die Fahrmotoren vom Typ TTB 665 A1 sind als Tandemmotoren ausgeführt und arbeiten als Reihenschlussmotor für 1,5 kV. Beide Anker besitzen Wendepole und Kompensationswicklung.

Bei der elektrischen Ausrüstung wurde bei der Lokomotive sehr viele Elemente der Halbleitertechnik zur Steuerung angewendet. Der Haupttransformator ist ölgekühlt und fremdbelüftet. Er besitzt zwei Sekundärwicklungen zur Speisung je einer Gleichrichterbrücke für je einen Fahrmotor. Zu jedem Brückenzweig gehören Thyristorsteller von 400 A und 1,6 kV. Bei Betrieb unter Fahrleitung mit Gleichstrom arbeitet die Lokomotive wie eine herkömmliche Gleichstrommaschine. Bei Betrieb unter Wechselstrom erhalten die Gleichrichter Strom von dem Transformator, von dort wird die Motorspannung von 0 bis zum Maximalwert gleichförmig geregelt. Die Feldschwächung setzt in fünf Stufen ein. Sollte beim Aufschalten die Lokomotive schleudern, würden die beiden Anker des betreffenden Tandemmotors parallel geschaltet. Beim Anfahren von schweren Zügen werden alle vier Anker in Reihe geschaltet. Dadurch wird der Stromverbrauch in Grenzen gehalten. Die Fahrmotoren sind eigenbelüftet. An den äußeren Ankerwellenenden sind die beiden Ventilatoren angebracht, bei einer Geschwindigkeit von 200 km/h besitzen sie einen Luftdurchsatz von 2,4 m³/h. Außerdem besitzt die Lokomotive noch sechs Lüfter zur Kühlung des Haupttransformators und der Glättungsdrosseln. Die Luft strömt durch die Eintrittsöffnungen in den Seitenwänden ein und entweicht durch das Dach. Gleichfalls werden die Fahrtgleichrichter gekühlt. Die elektrische Bremse kann in sieben Stufen betrieben werden. Die Bremsstufen können durch Änderung der Erregung erreicht werden. Dies wird mit einem statischen Umformer erreicht, der gleichzeitig die Batterie des Fahrzeuges mit lädt.

When viewed with MS Inspect tool, the roles of the progress bar are not applied properly. The ARIA roles and properties need to be moved to the outer div element of the progress bar.
This isn't a huge problem because the label is specified and the screen reader is speaking the label but it would be better to have the role properly applied.

fairly simple change - needed to modify the template. Submitting for review in case I missed something.
Ah, I see I forgot to change this.label.id to this.labelNode.id in , thanks for catching that. Note though that change is only for trunk, not 1.5.
Also, I don't see a need for a dojoAttachPoint=ariaProgress in the template, since you can just access this.domNode.
because it saves a few bytes.

GLMixer performs in real time the graphical blending of several movie clips. Typically, you load a set of video samples, and decide on the fly how much they should be visible, arrange the images in the screen, and which effects you apply to them. The principle of interaction is to drop video files into a workspace, and to move them in a circular area to change their opacity ; if you selects two videos, moving them together makes a fading transition. This principle is generalized to any number of videos. Direct interaction with the video allows to be fast and reactive, and to move and deform them on screen. The output of your operations is shown in the output window, which should typically be displayed full-screen on an external monitor or a projector, or can be saved as a video file.
