The works of Russian painter Svetoslav Roerich, who made Bangalore his home, will soon be housed in a world-class museum, modelled on Amsterdam's Van Gogh Museum, at his Tataguni estate on the outskirts of Bangalore.
The museum is expected to have the studio, Roerich's graves and all paintings and documents of his family spread over 25 acres. The department of Kannada and culture has also prepared a blueprint to preserve the house where Roerich and his wife Devika Rani Roerich lived.
The horticulture department will set up a rose garden on 25 acres. The government done this after the Supreme Court in November 2011 upheld the constitutionality of the Roerich and Devika Rani Estate (Acquisition and Transfer) Act, 1996 and ordered that the land acquired be utilized only for what it was acquired.
Following the controversy that erupted after Roerich's death in January 1993 over management of the 468-acre estate, the state government in 1996 through an Act established a trust to preserve the paintings, art objects and carvings and also flora and fauna there. The chief secretary was appointed trust chairperson to administer the estate.
"A sub-committee was constituted under the chairmanship of additional chief secretary after the meeting of board of trustees. The sub-committee was asked prepare a plan for development to preserve and maintain the estate," official sources told TOI. "The remaining 418 acres will be handed over to the forest department to preserve the flora & fauna," the officer said.
Svetoslav Roerich, though Russian by birth, made India his home, along with his multifaceted father Prof. Nicholas Roerich. After his marriage to Devika Rani, then first lady of the Indian screen, the Svetoslavs shifted to Bangalore from Kulu Valley, Himachal Pradesh.
They became cultural ambassadors of Russia, fostering friendship and understanding between the two countries. Initially, the couple leased a house in Gavipurarm Extension. Before shifting to a centrally located house on Edward Road, they bought the sprawling Tataguni estate on Kanakapura Road. The estate was developed with several aromatic trees and shrubs, a spacious farm house and a studio where he painted some of his later works. The studio housed Svetoslav's creations, his priceless collection of art, artifacts and curios, including some masterpieces of father and son.

Ольга Сергеевна Найдёнова (15 июля 1913 год, село Ижевское — 20 июня 1996 год, там же) — доярка колхоза «Дело Октября» Ижевского района Рязанской области. Герой Социалистического Труда (1949). Депутат Верховного Совета РСФСР 2-го созыва.

Биография
Родилась в 1913 году в крестьянской семье в селе Ижевское. Получила начальное образование, окончив четыре класса в родном селе. В 1930 году вступила в колхоз «Дело Октября». Работала полеводом, с 1931 года — дояркой на молочно-товарной ферме этого же колхоза. По её инициативе на ферме была введена учётная форма обслуживания коров и социалистическое соревнование по увеличению надоев. Если в 1932 году средний уровень надоев составлял 1070 килограмм молока от каждой фуражной коровы, то в 1935 году надои возросли до 2372 килограмм. В 1936 году приняла личные социалистические обязательства надоить до 4000 килограмм молока. В этом же году она перевыполнила свои обязательства, надоив в среднем от каждой коровы по 4654 килограмм и в 1938 году — по 4701 килограмм.

После Великой Отечественной войны продолжила увеличивать свои социалистические обязательства. В начале 1947 года вступила в соревнование с Прасковьей Ковровой из колхоза «Фундамент социализма». За 10 месяцев надоила в среднем по 3300 килограмм молока. Этот результат превысил надои Прасковьи Ковровой, которая надоила 2200 килограмм молока. Всего на 1947 год Ольга Найдёнова получила в среднем по 4375 килограмм молока. В 1948 году получила 5195 килограмм молока. Указом Президиума Верховного Совета СССР от 9 мая 1949 года за получение высокой продуктивности животноводства в 1948 году при выполнении обязательных поставок сельскохозяйственных продуктов и плана развития животноводства по все видам скота удостоена звания Героя Социалистического Труда с вручением ордена Ленина и золотой медали «Серп и Молот».

В 1950 году вступила в КПСС. В 1947 году избиралась депутатом Верховного Совета РСФСР 2-го созыва (1947—1951) от Спасского избирательного округа Рязанской области.

Скончалась в 1996 году в селе Ижевское. Похоронена на сельском кладбище.

 Награды
Награждена двумя Орденами Ленина (29.10.1948; 1949) и медалью «За трудовую доблесть» (08.01.1960)

Q: Seeing Intrinsic Curvature of a Surface Is there any issue with characterizing a surface as being intrinsically flat by saying "at no point does it either resemble a pringle (saddle) or a bullet (elliptic paraboloid)?" I'm trying to develop an eye for seeing the intrinsic curvature in a 2-dimensional surface.
Based on Gauss' initial definition of the intrinsic curvature of a surface at a point $p$ as the product of principal curvatures, $\kappa(p)=\kappa_{min}\kappa_{max}$, I think my characterization is reasonable if informal.
It also seems intuitively telling to take something intrinsically flat like a piece of paper or a placemat and give it some kind of intrinsic curvature only to have it resist by forming kinks and cusps.

A: Making this community wiki in the hopes of inviting others to collect and expand on the comments.
Extrinsic and intrinsic geometry Loosely, the "shape" of a smooth surface in Euclidean three-space is visually perceived by its principal curvatures. While these are individually extrinsic (not determined by the first fundamental form/induced metric of the surface), their product, the Gaussian curvature, turns out to be intrinsic (determined by the induced metric).
The shape operator, whose eigenvalues are the principal curvatures, is minus the differential of the Gauss map from the surface to the unit sphere. The determinant is the Jacobian of the Gauss map. In other words, the Gaussian curvature is the "local stretching factor" for how the Gauss map distorts area.
The limits of visualization Whether or not Gaussian curvature can be recognized visually depends on the circumstances. For example, a surface with one large principal curvature, like a thin tube, has wildly differing Gaussian curvature depending on the other (possibly visually indistinguishable from zero) principal curvature.

*

*Specifically, take a point $p$ on a circle of radius greater than $1/r$ (possibly a line), draw a line $\ell$ in the plane of this circle, at distance $1/r^{2}$ from $p$ parallel to the tangent at $p$, and fix an arc $C$ lying to one side of $\ell$. If we revolve $C$ about $\ell$, we obtain a thin tube surface whose Gaussian curvature is between $-1/r$ and $1/r$ (a large interval for small positive $r$), but any two such surfaces are uniformly close (depending on the length of $C$), so visually difficult to distinguish.

Visual recognition requires care even for "surfaces with moderate principal curvatures." For example:

*

*The "top" and "bottom" parallels of a circular torus are parabolic (one principal curvature is $0$).

*The origin of a monkey saddle $z = x^{3} - 3xy^{2}$ is planar (both principal curvatures are $0$).

A: I try to describe a 2-D situation verbally, you can look up for descriptive  symbolic equations in a university library.
If you have a brittle egg/bullet  shaped dome $K>0$ and step on it making it flat there will occur radial cracks and gaps upto its disc edge.
On the other hand if you step on a flexible ( thin rubbery) pringle saddle shape $K<0$ and step on it, it becomes flat only after overlapping radial frills and wrinkles develop on the warped flattened disc.
The intrinsic curvature or Gauss curvature $K$ is visibly seen destroyed by forced flattening induced by forces normal to the shell surface.
Non-linear strains are described by pdes of von Kármán in his work on Buckling of doubly curved structures. The theory makes no distinction between radial tension or circumferential compression in creating a dome out of a flat disc. Vice-versa  it makes no distinction between radial compression and circumferential tension in creating a saddle out of a flat disc.
This also due to the fact that it is impossible to isometrically bring pringles and egg shells to a plane without tearing or overlapping by virtue of Gauss Egregium theorem in Surface Theory. Such a mapping is not possible. The curved grid lines will break or the net will fold up.
The theorem states that in pure Bending Gauss curvature $K$ is conserved ( btw as also other items derivable by the first fundamental form of Surface theory ).
So shells or surfaces of constant Gauss curvature will crack up or warp down on being forcibly flattened depending on whether initial Gauss curvature $K$ is positive or negative.

Cameron drops clanger over cost of union
Sinn Fein, the SDLP and the DUP have criticised comments by British Conservative leader David Cameron which compared the north of Ireland to a former Soviet nation.
In a BBC interview at the weekend, Mr Cameron said "in some UK regions the state accounts for a bigger share of the economy than it did in the communist countries of the old eastern bloc -- it is clearly unsustainable".
Asked to be specific, Mr Cameron replied: "I think the first one I would pick out is Northern Ireland. In Northern Ireland it is quite clear, almost every party, I think, accepts that the size of the state has got too big -- we need a bigger private sector."
He called for a faster-growing private sector and a "rebalancing of the economy".
His remarks were redolent of the infamous description by former British Labour PM Harold Wilson in 1974 of unionists as "spongers", who expected British taxpayers to pay for their lifestyle.
Sinn Fein and the SDLP said the Conservatives had let slip their plans for the North's public services.
The Conservatives, particularly under former PM, Margaret Thatcher, have also traditionally been identified with the wealthy southeast of England, while looking down on 'the regions'.
The revelation could be devastating for Reg Empey's Ulster Unionist Party, which recently formed a close political alliance with the Tories.
BRITISH PM 'COULD BE IRISH'
In a rearguard action, former Tory leader William Hague claimed today that a northern Irish MP could be a future British prime minister under an Ulster Unionist-backed Conservative government.
Mr Hague was outlining the joint Ulster Conservatives and Unionists - New Force (UCUNF) manifesto in Newtownabbey in the heart of the South Antrim seat that UUP leader Reg Empey is desperate to take from the DUP in the May 6 poll.
"Any of our candidates elected here will take their place as part of David Cameron's team with exactly the same rights and responsibilities as Conservatives from Scotland, Wales, England . . . and Yorkshire," Mr Hague said.
"And any of them will have exactly the same opportunity to serve as a minister as MPs from anywhere else in the United Kingdom.
"Imagine the message that would be sent around the world if, in time, the foreign secretary or the home secretary, the environment secretary or even the prime minister in a UK government sat for a constituency in Northern Ireland."
TWO TORY PARTIES
Ahead of the UCUNF launch, Sinn Fein President Gerry Adams said both the unionist parties were 'Tory Parties'. Both favoured cutbacks in public services, he said, and only "a strong Sinn Fein team" could oppose these.
"Working people have nothing to gain from voting for unionist parties," he said.
"While Peter Robinson and Reg Empey may take up populist positions on social or economic issues they are opposed to equality measures which would help working families in these difficult economic times.
"The British Tories have given clear notice that they are going to cut health services.
"Peter Robinson is attacking Reg Empey because his party is in a Conservative coalition.
"Mr Robinson makes a big issue about the Tories intention to introduce cuts. Yet the DUP is supporting a so-called unity candidate in Fermanagh South Tyrone who has pledged his support for the Conservatives and who is committed, if elected, to taking the Tory Whip.
"So, despite the rhetoric Peter Robinson has exactly the same position as Reg Empey. The DUP desire to disempower the people of Fermanagh South Tyrone is clearly greater than any notional differences with the British Tories."
Mr Adams said working class unionist neighbourhoods had long been abandoned by the main unionist parties.
"Poverty is rampant in many of these areas. If the unionist parties are not challenged they will reduce public services, particularly the health services, and destroy the social fabric and necessary protections for citizens.
"All of this points up the real need to build a strong Sinn Fein team which will develop realistic policies based on equality for the benefit of all sections of our society."
TUV SEEKS NEW LAW
Elsewhere, Traditional Unionist Voice (TUV) leader Jim Allister issued his party's manifesto which called for the next British government to pass a law to prevent Sinn Fein's Martin McGuinness taking the post of first minister at Stormont.
The ultra-hardline unionist leader used his party's manifesto to make clear he could not support any British party leader for prime minister unless the 2006 St Andrews Agreement measure was reversed.
Mr Allister said this change was "a top line issue".

Paterson history to the end of 1821
William Paterson, 1799.
The Paterson area is the ancestral home of the Wonnarua and Worimi Aboriginal people. The first Europeans to visit the area were probably a few convicts who escaped from Sydney in the 1790s and lived with Aborigines at Port Stephens for several years, travelling through the lower Hunter Valley during their time at large.[1]
In June 1801 a survey party that included Francis Barrallier, Lieutenant-Colonel William Paterson and naturalist John Lewin explored and charted the Coal River (Newcastle).[2] During their survey they travelled up what are now named the Hunter and Williams Rivers. Barrallier returned in November 1801 to finish his survey, and travelled up what is now known as the Paterson River as far as Mt Breckin (about 3 or 4 kilometres north west of the current village of Vacy).[3]
One of William Paterson's camp sites during the 1801 expedition, by John Lewin.
Newcastle penal settlement and timber cutting
In 1804, following the uprising at Castle Hill, a permanent settlement was established at Newcastle to house convicts who had re-offended in the colony. From that time, convict gangs from Newcastle began cutting timber on the Paterson River and they established a camp there at Old Banks.
Convict settlers at Patersons Plains
In January 1812 Governor Lachlan Macquarie visited Newcastle and travelled about 30km up the Hunter River. At about this time, pehaps during his visit, he permitted five men to take up small farms on the Paterson River at Patersons Plains as a reward for procuring a special order of cedar logs.
To see where they settled view 1812 map and 1821 map.
Macquarie's decision was extraordinary and did not fall within official land settlement instructions from the British government. Small land grants to emancipated convicts had been official policy since Governor Phillip's time but four of the men to be settled at Patersons Plains were still serving convicts (three of them were pardoned later ... in 1821). Moreover they were to be settled without survey or regulated land boundaries, and they were not to receive legal title to their land.
The four convicts were Benjamin Davis, George Pell, John Reynolds and John Swan while the fifth person, John Tucker jnr, was born in the colony (initially Tucker settled on land allowed to his father). In 1813 the five were joined by the Surgeon at Newcastle, William Evans, who was permitted to take up 100 acres at Patersons Plains. Also see map.
George Pell drowned in 1815, reducing the number of Paterson River settlers to four (Evans still lived in Newcastle). In 1817 Governor Macquarie gave the Newcastle Commandant Captain James Wallis permission to increase the number to six. As a result Richard Binder and Robert Whitmore took up land on the river in 1818. Between then and the end of 1821 they were joined by Thomas Addison, Anthony Dwyer, John Reeves and John Powell.
The farms of these early settlers at Patersons Plains were small, typically around 30 or 40 acres, and the occupants did not own the land but held their farms at the pleasure of the government (with the exception of John Powell who was promised title from the outset).

The early European settlement at Patersons Plains shows the colony's penal system in action. For most of those who now lived in huts on small farms at Paterson River, this was the final stage of a personal saga that had started with transportation as a convict from Britain or Ireland, followed by a further court conviction in Sydney and a sentence of secondary transportation to the penal settlement at Newcastle. For these men, permission to settle at Patersons Plains was the reward for good behaviour, for diligently performing their diverse roles at the Newcastle penal settlement as timber cutters, superintendent of lime burners, ship salvage and other tasks.
For the convict women they married or partnered, it was the opportunity to escape lawfully via the altar or concubinage. In each case they met their partner at Newcastle. Robert Whitmore was sent to Newcastle for stealing the cargo of a boat he was skippering on the Hawkesbury, while his future wife Martha Greenwood was exiled to Newcastle for her insolent behaviour at the Parramatta female factory.
Young John Tucker's second wife Frances Turner was initially a convict nurse at Sydney Hospital who was sent to Newcastle after absenting herself from work for a month. John Swan's second wife Margaret McKennell was banished to Newcastle for receiving stolen goods in Sydney, and Anthony's Dwyer's future bride Margaret Cuddy for stealing a watch.
The fact that this band of convict and ex-convict men and women were allowed to settle at Patersons Plains is a tribute to the reformatory and humanitarian policies of the governor at the time, Lachlan Macquarie. He evidently took an ongoing interest in his initiative, as he visited the settlers at Patersons Plains in 1818, the remote location a remarkable inclusion in his itinerary.
And the cleric ...
One of the final settlers in this phase of Paterson River history was the Reverend George Middleton, the resident pastor at Newcastle who selected 400 acres of glebe land at Paterson in 1821 to support his pastoral activities at the penal settlement. His friend and later chief constable of Patersons Plains, Ralph Mills Clarke, lived in a hut on Middleton's Glebe from 1821.
Large-scale settlement
By the end of 1821 the Hunter Valley was about to be surveyed and opened to large-scale settlement. The ex-convict settlers already occupying land at the governor's pleasure would struggle over many years to gain legal title to their land while the free men - Evans, Tucker and Powell – would have no problem. Their grants were increased to fit the pattern of survey.

Chewy sank in extended trading Wednesday, trading down more than 11% at one point.
The online pet retailer's second-quarter results and third-quarter outlook fell short of Wall Street forecasts.
Chewy CEO Sumit Singh told CNBC he remains "really bullish" about the business even as some Covid tailwinds fade.
Shares of Chewy sank in extended trading Wednesday after the online pet retailer's second-quarter results and third-quarter outlook fell short of Wall Street forecasts.
The stock was down more than 11% at one point, before parring some of the losses to trade down roughly 9% at 5:30 p.m. in New York.
Chewy saw revenue rise nearly 27% on a year-over-year basis to $2.16 billion in the second quarter, but analysts were expecting sales of $2.20 billion, according to Refinitiv. The company also lost 4 cents per share, compared with estimates of a loss of 2 cents per share, according to Refinitiv.
Chewy's third-quarter sales guidance of $2.20 billion to $2.22 billion also came in slightly lighter than expectations. Analysts projected $2.23 billion in third-quarter sales, according to StreetAccount.
In an interview Wednesday on CNBC's "Closing Bell," Chewy CEO Sumit Singh said he wasn't worried about the stock's decline in after-hours trading, stressing he was pleased with the quarter and the company's future. "We are really bullish about the business," he said.

Chewy has benefited from the coronavirus pandemic in two ways: a surge online shopping in general and a booming pet business as Americans spent more time at home, leading to increased pet adoption and spending on animals.
Singh said it was expected that the company's growth rate would moderate as the economy reopened and consumer spending shifted back toward activities like travel. For example, in the second quarter last year, Chewy's posted a 47% year-over-year jump in sales, compared with the most-recent quarter's roughly 27% increase.
Even though top-line revenue growth has decelerated, Singh said other important metrics for the company are stronger than ever.
"Customer spending on our platform is at an all-time high," Singh said. In the second quarter, Chewy's net sales per active customer was $404, up 13.5% compared with the same period last year. Active customers of 20.1 million in the second quarter was 21.1% higher than in the second quarter in 2020.
"So what does that tell you? More customers. They're spending more. They're staying with us longer, and we continue to deliver very strong comps," Singh said. "Overall, we're very pleased with the performance of the business and the way that the teams are operating amidst this difficult environment."

Through the Seattle Colleges Foundation, our institutionally related foundation, the Office of Advancement coordinates fundraising efforts districtwide to advance the mission of Seattle Colleges.
We work to connect donors who want to impact student achievement and strengthen the Seattle community. Donors' interests range from student scholarships, program and teaching excellence, and capital improvements.
A new nonprofit, Seattle Colleges Foundation emerged from a process of consultation and collaboration among the campuses comprising Seattle Colleges, each of which previously operated its own separate foundation. Seattle Colleges Foundation serves the philanthropic needs for each college as well as the Seattle Colleges District as a whole.
The move to a single, unified institutionally related foundation follows a prevailing national model for multiple-college districts adopting an integrated approach. We've implemented structural changes, consolidated resources, improved coordination, and renewed strategy and alignment. As a result, we've increased our overall fundraising capacity and efficiency.
The tax ID number/employer identification number or EIN for Seattle Colleges Foundation is 83-0551671. Gifts to the Seattle Colleges Foundation are tax-deductible to the extent allowable by law. Consult with your tax advisor when determining the tax-deductibility of all of your charitable contributions.


In Part 1 we looked at how to use the Time, Distance Rowed and Calories data for your benefit and not just to put it down in the 'nice to know' category.
In this section we'll cover Stroke Rate, Watts and Heart Rate. They say 'knowledge is power' and it's certainly true when it comes to using the data at your fingertips with training.
First up, we often use data and information for the same thing, but they do mean something different. Data relates to numbers that in themselves mean nothing, i.e., raw data - a list of random numbers. Information refers to data that is arranged into meaningful and relational groups so it can be compared and analysed.
So that's that sorted :0) So we need to know how to use all the data displayed and convert it into information that is useful. You can see Part 1 here for some creative ways to use what can look like bland data.
In this section we'll start with Stroke Rate. The number displayed is the number of strokes per minute (or how many times you're moving up and down the rail). Now you may think that the higher the number, the faster you're rowing, but this doesn't necessarily mean you're working harder. As we looked at in part one, the resistance level is also a factor. For example, if you're rowing at 26 strokes per minute at the highest resistance, you may not be working as hard as rowing at 32 strokes at a middle resistance.
A better way to measure your work rate is by checking the Watts figure. This tells you (with each stroke) how much energy you have generated and helps you calculate just how hard you're working. A rower of average fitness could possibly generate around 1.4 watts, or about half the watts a top rower can achieve. This data can be used to formulate workouts that are really challenging - for more on how to calculate a workout based on watts see Tabata Wattage Workouts.
And lastly, a really useful piece of information is your heart rate (sometimes referred to as pulse). This tells you what effect your workout is having on your cardio-vascular system. The harder/ faster you row, the more oxygen your body requires, so the faster your heart pumps to deliver it. But this is more than just an interesting fact. One of the more recent developments in workout training is the heart rate program. You can see more about how to calculate your heart training zones here, but briefly, by training with your pulse at a specific rate for a set duration, can help to maximize the benefits from your workout. Research has found at what percentage of your maximum heart you can train at, and for what time, to promote burning fat or promoting fitness.
Many rowers are compatible with the popular heart rate monitors and use this information to keep you in your HR zone. It can do this by varying resistance or prompting you to raise your stroke rate. If your machine doesn't have this feature, you can still use a heart rate monitor to display your pulse on a wristwatch and adjust your work rate accordingly.


A stronger partnership will allow both partners to ensure their foothold in the Danish wireless equipment market by empowering the resellers, system integrators and service providers to achieve greater success through selling, installing, and maintaining LigoWave solutions.
Such a step will ensure exclusive opportunities for customers in Denmark through our partner program, which would provide access to deal registration, competitive prices and even more business expertise.

Q: Error in TLS handshake when using mutual authentication While testing my app (https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.degoo.android) I've found that on some devices the TLS handshake between the app and our servers fail if the https request requires a client certificate (i.e. mutual authentication). The same code works on Windows and on OS X, so I know that it's not caused by an incorrect cert or that I have forgotten to include the cert into the SSLContext. I have detected it on both some Android 4.4 devices and on some 5.0 devices. Unfortunately I haven't found any common denominator which causes it to fail (other than Android). However, on devices were it fails it fails 100% of the time.
I've analyzed the network traffic to see more precisely when the error occurs. The following thing works on all devices:

*

*The connection is established and the client successfully validates the server's certs.

*The client sends it's HTTP request.

*The server detects that the request is for protected area and sends a certificate_request.

*The client decides which client certificate to send (we can see that it selects the correct certificate) and sends it.

After the client has responded with its certificate it sends two more TLS records and then the handshake fails.
Here's an example of how what these two TLS records looks like on a device were the handshake SUCCEEDS:
14 03 01 00 20 9c 07 49 78 9f ba 09 03 41 6b 66 ad 46 e2 75 94 f7 cf 18 bd 11 cf 35 a2 eb 5e b8 a8 4c 2a 1d c5

16 03 01 00 30 20 0e 13 d7 48 b9 6e b2 1b 96 6f 10 56 67 81 63 d9 d8 c7 73 23 95 3b f9 da f9 ce f4 f8 d1 7e 1b a4 12 92 4c 4f 54 a5 f8 49 75 d5 46 f4 2d 29 97

Here's an example of how what these two TLS records looks like on a device were the handshake FAILS:
14 03 01 00 20 a9 86 c2 fd 03 0a f8 08 fa f8 9e eb b7 97 07 56 6f 27 c0 d6 8f 95 be 77 c1 44 84 e9 e1 56 6f 6a

16 03 01 00 30 ff 36 76 e5 47 87 84 71 1c ce c9 08 41 45 fc 09 c6 ef 08 e6 21 ff 45 3a 10 ae 8d 5a 99 5f ca c5 ac bd bf 7e ca 69 32 4d 1f 01 c6 30 83 8e 06 cb

From the first byte of the records I can see that both clients send a change cipher spec record and then a handshake record. A funny thing about the failing devices is that byte with index 5 of the second record has value ff. When I look in TLS specification I don't see any handshake record type with that value. The device that succeeds has that byte set to 20, which means "finished".
Any idea on what's going on? What could cause this?

An article in today's Cape Cod Times says that site of the West Yarmouth will be used for an Irish festival in 2018. It's "been a point of contention for the town since it was purchased for recreational use in 1985. In 2015, a Drive-in Site Utilization Committee was formed to consider possible uses … but push back from nearby residents has prevented any projects from moving forward."
It listed the address for the site as 669 Route 28.
A quick check of the International Motion Picture Almanacs on my shelf show a 1000-car drive-in, sometimes called the Yarmouth, in the census-designated place of West Yarmouth (within the town of Yarmouth) beginning in either the 1958 or 1959 edition and continuing through its last drive-in list in 1988.

35. Wimbledon
Wimbledon (2004) / IMDb 6.3

Just then, by accident, he bumps into Lizzie Bradbury, the American rising star of female tennis, falls in love with her and finds her interest in him changes his entire perception, even gives him the strength to win again. But where will it lead them, especially when her overprotective father-manager Dennis Bradbury proves determined to nip their relationship in the bud, believing it detrimental to her career?

Ali (2001) / IMDb 6.7
In 1964, a brash new pro boxer, fresh from his olympic gold medal victory, explodes on to the scene, Cassius Clay.

To his credit, he sets out to prove that with his highly agile and forceful style soon making him a formidable boxer who soon claims the heavyweight championship. His personal life is no less noteworthy with his allegiance to the Nation of Islam, his friendship with the controversial Malcolm X and his abandonment of his slave name in favour of Muhammad Ali stirring up controversy. Yet, at the top of his game, both Ali's personal and professional lives face the ultimate test with the military draft rules are changed, making him eligible for military induction during the Vietnam War. Despite the fact that he could easily agree to a sweetheart deal that would have meant an easy tour of duty for himself, Ali refuses to submit on principle to cooperate in an unjust war for a racist nation that treated his people so poorly. The cost of that stand is high as he finds himself unable to legally box in his own country while his case is contested in court. What follows is a battle for a man who would sacrifice so much for what he believes in and a comeback that would cement his legend as one of the great sports figures of all time.
32. The Champ

Standing up to the taunts of the other players, Doug manages to join the team, and with the encouragement of his hockey obsessed best friend quickly becomes a rising star. Soon he'll have the opportunity to face off against Ross "The Boss" Rhea and perhaps finally land a girlfriend. Now - all he needs is to learn how to skate.
29. Any Given Sunday
Any Given Sunday (1999) / IMDb 6.8
When a devastating hit knocks a professional football legend and quarterback Cap Rooney out of the game, a young, unknown third-stringer is called in to replace him. Having ridden the bench for years because of a string of bad luck stories and perhaps insufficient character, Willie Beaman seizes what may be his last chance, and lights up the field with a raw display of athletic prowess. His stunning performance over several games is so outstanding and fresh it seems to augur a new era in the history of this Miami franchise, and forces aging coach Tony D'Amato to reevaluate his time-tested values and strategies and begin to confront the fact that the game, as well as post-modern life may be passing him by. Adding to the pressure on D'Amato to win at any cost is the aggressive young President/Co-owner of the team, Christina Pagniacci, now coming into her own after her father's death. Christina's driving desire to prove herself in a male dominated world is intensified by her focus on the marketing and business of football, in which all coaches and players are merely properties.
28. The Football Factory
The Football Factory (2004) / IMDb 6.9
The Football Factory is more than just a study of the English obsession with football violence; it's about men looking for armies to join, wars to fight and places to belong. A forgotten culture of Anglo-Saxon males fed up with being told they're not good enough and using their fists as a drug they describe as being more potent than sex and drugs put together. Shot in documentery style with the energy and vibrancy of handheld, The Football Factory is frighteningly real yet full of painful humour as the four characters' extreme thoughts and actions unfold before us.
27. He Got Game
He Got Game (1998) / IMDb 6.9
Tells the story of Jesus Shuttlesworth, the most sought after high school basketball prospect in the nation. Jesus and his dream to make it to the big ranks in professional basketball are overshadowed by his father, Jake, who is spending his life in prison for killing Jesus' mother.
26. Will

25. We Are Marshall
We Are Marshall (2006) / IMDb 7.1
In November, 1970, virtually the entire football team and coaches of Marshall University (Huntington, W.V.) die in a plane crash. That spring, led by Nate Ruffin, a player who was ill and missed the fatal flight, students rally to convince the board of governors to play the 1971 season. The college president, Don Dedman, must find a coach, who then must find players. They petition the NCAA to allow freshmen to play, and coach Jack Lengyel motivates and leads young players at the same time that he reexamines the Lombardi creed that winning is the only thing. The father and the fiancée of a player who died find strength to move on. Can Marshall win even one game in 1971?
24. Glory Road
Glory Road (2006) / IMDb 7.2
40 years ago, Don Haskins went on the recruiting trail to find the best talent in the land, black or white. 7 blacks and 5 whites made up the legendary 1965-66 Texas Western Miners. They were mocked and ridiculed for their showboating and flaunting of black players on the court. Yet, in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds, Haskins and his Miners came together as a team united to reach the National Championship game against powerhouse Kentucky.
23. Looking For Eric
Looking for Eric (2009) / IMDb 7.2
Bir futbol fanatiği olan Eric postacıdır. Orta yaş krizi geçiriyor ve hayatı da her geçen gün daha kötü gidiyordur.
Eric Bishop, a middle-aged postman working for the Manchester sorting office, is going through a dreadful crisis. For starters, his second life companion has not resurfaced although she was released from prison a few months ago. He is left alone with two stepsons to look after, which is no bed of roses since the two teens disrespect him and keep disobeying him. To make matters worse, Ryan, the older boy, fascinated by Zac, a dangerous gangster, has accepted to hide his gun in Eric's house. On the other hand, he is asked by Sam, his student daughter who has a newborn baby, to get back in touch with Lily, his separated wife. Now, Eric left her not long after she gave back to their daughter. As a result Eric panics... Having lost all his bearings, Eric Bishop soliloquizes face to the poster of his idol, another Eric, French footballer Eric Cantona, when the latter appears just like the genie out of Aladdin's lamp. Through a series of aphorisms peculiar to him, the footballer-philosopher will help remorse-ridden desperate Eric Bishop to get by.
22. Coach Carter
Coach Carter (2005) / IMDb 7.2
In 1999, Ken Carter, a successful sporting goods store owner, accepts the job of basketball coach for his old high school in a poor area of Richmond, CA, where he was a champion athlete. As much dismayed by the poor attitudes of his players as well as their dismal play performance, Carter sets about to change both. He immediately imposes a strict regime typified in written contracts that include stipulations for respectful behavior, a dress code and good grades as requisites to being allowed to participate. The initial resistance from the boys is soon dispelled as the team under Carter's tutelage becomes a undefeated competitor in the games.

INCubator students present MVP pitch
Riley Stinson
A team in Accelerator working on developing their business.
Claire Lawrence, Entertainment Editor
In hopes to receive funding for their product or service, INCubator students will pitch to local entrepreneurs Jan. 28. The students will give their pitches in the INCubator Lab during the school day.
"I can't believe we're able to have this opportunity," INCubator teacher Erin Mathis said. "I think everybody's interested in entrepreneurship once they get in here, but this is such a real life process. They're actually working all the time. They're doing interviews or talking to people, and they learn really quickly whether this is something they're passionate about or not."
The first pitch, which took place early October, included a brief description of the company. Students were able to receive feedback from assigned mentors, like SailPoint's chief marketing officer Juliette Rizallah, to better their projects.
"I hope to instill some entrepreneurship into [the students], but also basic skills such as presentation, financial modeling, strategy when thinking about a market and how to best sell to them," Rizallah said. "I am proud to say that my team won the top grant last year, and I am looking forward to see the great projects every team is working on this year."
The entrepreneurs may award students $100-500 in grants. The goal for this project is to not only receive funding but also make it to the market.
"If it actually makes it to the market, then it's going to be a legitimate business," junior Jorden Kempema said. "Then you actually start making a profit, and that money goes toward your business."
Final presentations include a Powerpoint and physical prototypes of the product or service. Senior Emily Evans' company, Story Look, an online clothing subscription, will use a physical representation along with a visual aid.
"This time around we have to know everything," Evans said. "[The judges] are going to really critique us and ask us a lot of questions, so I'm nervous we won't be prepared enough."
If students like Evans and Kempema are successful with their businesses this year, they will continue to develop the company next year in Accelerator, the course above INCubator.
"[Students] come in and run their business during Accelerator," Mathis said. "Right now we have six teams that are actually funded from last year. We are hoping to gain more this year."

Google ad sparks hostility towards feminism
The mindset of an Anti-Feminist
David Bubbins, Staff Writer
To celebrate International Women's Day, Alphabet Inc. released a commercial for Google Search, which claims that people around the world are searching for the term "gender equality." As of March 14, 2018, the advertisement has garnered over 36,000 dislikes and over 2,500 comments, most of which accuse Google of sexism against men.
To understand the motivation for these comments, we need answer three basic questions: Why are anti-feminists hostile toward the feminist movement? Where did this hostility originate from? And why are they unwilling to see past their biases?
"It's us against them"
Most of the criticism toward the advertisement was over the statement, "The future is female." The assumption with this statement is that feminism is not about equality, but is a propaganda campaign to make women superior to men.
"I guess the assumption 'if women win, men lose' is the problem here," Meda Chesney-Lind, chair of the Department of Women's Studies at the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa, said. "We're not saying everything's equal now, and if we step forward in what's described in that ad, then there's going to be an imbalance."
Feminists are not looking for more than their fair share. They see unfair treatment based on gender or race and are looking to end discrimination for both men and women. Anyone who wants equal rights should stand up for them.
Sexism in the media
The sad truth is many female characters in the media are often treated as either stereotypes or sex objects. While many women are sexualized, such as in "The Fast and The Furious" films, feminist women are often also portrayed negatively. Feminist characters can appear self righteous or snotty, like Donna Pinciotti from "That '70s Show."
People can be conditioned to think a certain way based on the society they see portrayed in media. If a child thinks that this character represents the everyday feminist, they will get the wrong idea about feminism as a whole. The same goes for those who grew up watching women who were represented as either housewives or sex objects. If someone sees something as normal, they will retain that belief even when people say what they are thinking is wrong.
The backfire effect
One might wonder why someone would willfully ignore study upon study that definitively says that they are wrong. The answer is the same reason why there are still flat-earthers and anti-vaxxers in the world: When those people are presented with information that goes against their previous biases, they feel like the information is attacking them.
This phenomenon, which was studied by Brendan Nyhan of the University of Michigan and Jason Reifler of Georgia State University, is better known as "the backfire effect." According to Nyhan and Reifler, people are more likely to believe their own biases when they are presented with evidence that goes against their own beliefs. This makes having a conversation about feminism difficult, because anyone who thinks that the other side supports female superiority is not going to change their mind, no matter what you tell them.
We need to look to films like "Mad Max: Fury Road," "Wonder Woman" and "Black Panther." These films have strong female leads that do much more than act as stereotypical housewives or sex objects, and their feminist tendencies are not about making them superior to men, but about female empowerment.
If we can eliminate the sexist bias in our media, then future generations are more likely to realize that women are true equals, which the Google ad was trying to promote in the first place.
