Stargate | Sam Carter - A Role Model for Courage and Compassion
Dana Svedova
When we add up Samantha Carter's appearances in Stargate SG-1, Atlantis, and Universe, we get a whopping 228 episodes – and that's not including Stargate: The Ark of Truth (2008) and Stargate: Continuum (2008). Suffice to say, there have been a lot of things written about SG-1's first lady over the past 22 years.
Of course, the longevity of a character doesn't automatically equal their emotional impact. However, time and time again when I meet other Stargate fans, Sam often comes up as a favorite character. Sam's not only a wickedly smart theoretical astrophysicist but also a combat veteran, able to drop Jaffa jaws when she takes down a moving target with one shot ('The Warrior' – S5, Ep18), pilot an experimental F-302 fighter ('Fallen' – S7, Ep1), and command a 36-gun battlecruiser in combat (SGU 'Incursion, Part 1' – S1, Ep19).
However, Sam's greatness isn't only the sum of her intelligence and military prowess, it's her empathy and determination that keeps the SG-1 team together, guides her decision-making, informs her leadership, and makes the character resonate so strongly with fans.
I was on the verge of becoming a teenager when Stargate SG-1 first aired in my country, the Czech Republic. A capable female lead wasn't often seen on TV back then, certainly not one whose primary purpose wasn't to cater to the male audience. She quickly turned into a real role model for me and other girls my age, and I hope she continues to inspire many young women today.
Does that mean she's only a role model for girls? Absolutely not. If you have ever felt like you didn't fit in, weren't good enough or your skills were underappreciated, Sam shows us the way.

Rising in the Ranks
We don't know a lot about Sam's childhood, but what we do witness is the tragic event of her mother's death during her adolescence ('The Devil You Know' – S3, Ep13.). She was left with an often absent father Jacob, a highly decorated US Air Force major general, who buried his grief under his work. As such, Sam grew up in a cold, formal environment and had a distant relationship with her father, Jacob, and her brother.

However, Sam's childhood experiences and the example of her father's work ethic (coupled with a desire, perhaps, to finally win his approval) gave her a unique insight into the military, a blueprint on how to achieve at the highest levels, and gave her a head start figuring out how to navigate two male-dominated fields – science and service.
In 'Children of the Gods' (S1, Ep1-2), we can see Sam wary of her new teammates. She has been in the military long enough to expect the worst from her male colleagues and Jack's curmudgeonly manner certainly gives her cause. He projects a belligerent disdain for knowledge and the square-jawed masculine attitudes of another era. Sam has probably dealt with six men exactly like this in the past week alone.
Sam stands her ground in 'Children of the Gods – S1, Ep1-2. | MGM, 1997.
Although she's forced immediately on the defensive, she pushes back from a place of unassailable authority and confidence, rather than panic.
"Colonel, I logged over 100 hours in enemy airspace during the Gulf War. Is that tough enough for you? Or are we going to have to arm wrestle?"
Sam, 'Children of the Gods' – S1, Ep1-2.
We can see Major Kawalsky underestimate her abilities and then his surprise when confirms that she has pulled out of a simulated bombing run in an F-16 at eight-plus Gs and is every bit as capable as all of them for the mission.
As the episode goes on, we see her relax more when she realizes her teammates are not like the other military men she has encountered – well, not entirely.
What can we take from this? Whether because of your gender, sexuality, ethnicity, or disability, don't let anyone tell you that you aren't good enough just because you are seen to be different.
Sam and Elizabeth: Contrasting Leadership
It is quite easy to draw parallels between Sam and Elizabeth, as many did instinctively (and unfairly) when the latter was introduced in 'Lost City, Part 1' (S7, Ep21). Both are brave leaders who have to make life and death decisions every day, and have found routes through a masculine environment that plays to their particular strengths. Both even served as CO of the Atlantis team and have a PhD to their name.
[See also: Stargate | Why Elizabeth Weir is the Heart of Atlantis by Catherine Kelly]
However, where they differ is their leadership style, which produced radically divergent results when dealing with both their teams, and the often unwelcome interference of politicians.
Elizabeth is a diplomat at the highest level. Her method of leadership is direct and forthright – just the sort of voice you want fighting your corner in a negotiation – leading to criticisms from some fans that she is 'cold'. (Pointedly, this is a criticism never levelled at her male counterparts). In a high stakes environment constantly battling the Wraith, Replicators, or Genii, her candour is highly efficient, cutting the distance between decision and action neatly in half.
However, Elizabeth's decisions often bring her into direct conflict with the International Oversight Advisory (IOA) Committee, SGC, and the Byzantine political leadership in Washington, DC, including her patron, Senator Kinsey.
"This is my office. This is my chair. Until someone tells me otherwise I'm going to make decisions as I see fit, not as they fit in to your agenda."
Elizabeth – 'Lost City, Part 1' (S7, Ep21).
She comes from a world – whether it's academia or international diplomacy – where fighting your corner is second nature, whereas Sam's experiences have taught her more about how the game is played within the strict hierarchy of the military. She respects the chain of command and also understands the nuances required when working with government officials, as much as she might personally resent them.

Pick Your Battles
Sam's ability to use a more subtle approach and invest in productive relationships with the government – knowing when to toe the line and when to rock the boat – meant she was eventually entrusted as CO of SG-1, leading the Atlantis Expedition, in charge of Stargate Command, and commander of USS Daedalus/George Hammond. Although willing to disobey and question orders when she feels it is necessary, that's a lever she's far less casual about pulling than the headstrong civilian archaeologist, the single-minded Jaffa defector, and the USAF cowboy with (at first) nothing left to live for.
Heck, it certainly says something about her approach when "Sir, with all due respect…" is virtually a catchphrase.
Understanding where the odds are stacked against you, or the most effective way of getting things done, shouldn't be seen as an absence of moral fibre or inner strength. Although she rarely uses threats, when she does, they're sharp and effective. In 'Be All My Sins Remember'd' (SGA S2, Ep11), Colonel Ellis of USS Apollo is incredibly rude to Rodney McKay. When the meeting concludes, Sam warns Ellis in no uncertain terms:
"If you ever talk like that to someone under my command again, you will not be welcome on this base, Colonel. Is that clear?"
Sam, 'Be All My Sins Remember'd' – Stargate Atlantis S2, Ep11.
Overlooked at the beginning of Stargate SG-1 – and her character was perhaps the least developed out of the box – Sam grows into a very influential character, rising through the ranks and earning the respect of scientists, military personnel, and politicians alike for her accomplishments.
While she is a confident leader, she has he judgement enough to question her own leadership. Most notably when she expressed her doubts to Jack at the end of 'Zero Hour' (S8, Ep4), where she second-guessed her command decision on the mission.
Despite being considered one of the smartest people on the planet (or a 'national treasure' as Jack would say), there is no ego about her. No matter the confidence placed in her or the achievements she could list, she never lets it blind her to asking the right questions of herself – first and foremost – and others.
What is the takeaway from this? Tread softly, but don't be afraid to put your foot down if necessary.
Fighting for the Family
Losing her mother at the crucial age of 12, both Sam and her brother Mark had a subsequent estrangement from their father. Unlike Mark, Sam tried her hardest to win her father's approval (adding strain to her relationship with Mark in the process), perhaps terrified of losing him as well as her mother. In 'Seth' (S3, Ep2), she acted as the bridge for her dad and brother to take the first steps towards repairing their relationship. This moment foreshadows her importance for SG-1 and later Atlantis.
Sam and her father, Jacob (Carmen Argenziano), outside of Mark's home at the climax of 'Seth' – S3, Ep2. | MGM, 1999.
When we're first introduced to SG-1, every one of them has become severed from their literal or figurative families. Unable to return to their old lives through betrayal (Teal'c), tragedy (Jack), or alienation (Daniel), it takes Sam to turn them into a family.
Not only does Sam rely on the 'found family' of SG-1 to play the role her biological kin couldn't, but she's often the one who steps forward to keep that family together. Sharing a bond with Daniel forged by their similar ages, humanism, and sheer smarts, she's often the one to mediate between him and Jack when the collision between civilian and military values begins to produce sparks. Similarly, she's often the voice of reason or restraint with Jack, knowing that their shared military experience gives her words more weight, this intimacy having launched a thousand 'ships.
As the head of the family, rather than a mere 'sibling' Sam continued to invest in her relationships, showing a willingness to really consider the needs of the individual and how she can meet them. In 'Quarantine' (SGA S4, Ep14), Sam gets stuck in the elevator with Radek Zelenka. A brilliant scientist in his own right, Zelenka plays second fiddle to Rodney. On most occasions, Rodney would yell and berate Zelenka at any little mistake, likely crushing his confidence.
[See also: Stargate | Rodney McKay – The Tao of an Unlikely Hero by Michael Simpson]
Whilst stuck in the high-intensity environment, Carter tries to push Zelenka to think creatively to fix the situation. This increased pressure causes Zelenka to haphazardly touch the crystals inside the transporter, frying their tablet. He's very apologetic, confidence shattered.
Sam quickly realizes her current tactic won't work and instead, tries to coax his genius out rather than force it. Sam assures Zelenka she's not angry, which instantly makes him feel better. Her continued positive reinforcement eventually inspires Zelenka into climbing into a tiny ventilation shaft, ultimately saving the entire Atlantis expedition.
Sam teaches us that leadership isn't about you, it's about lifting others to be their best selves.

The Woman Behind the Woman
While we have to thank the executive producers Brad Wright and Jonathan Glassner for creating Samantha Carter in the first place, we cannot forget the woman who breathed life into the character so brilliantly.
Amanda Tapping's influence has been an integral part of the character's development. Her courage to fight for Sam, and in extension, for all the viewers who look up to Sam and consider her a role model, was what made Sam one of the most important female characters of sci-fi TV.
Thanks to Amanda's unwavering courage, Samantha Carter isn't a one-dimensional, sexualized character but rather a wonderful, complex, smart, funny, strong, vulnerable, and fallible human being.
"Sam's an interesting entity, because she's not part of the original [movie] cast, like Jack and Daniel. Nor is she this fascinating alien character like Teal'c with all these incredible possibilities. She sits firmly in the middle. She's a difficult character to write in that she's part military, part scientist. So, I think what they're slowly doing is making her more of a fully realized person and playing up to her strengths.
Amanda Tapping to Starlog Magazine #249 (1998)
Samantha Carter's importance in the series cannot be denied. Her tenacity in dealing with enemies played a vital part in SG-1's success, she even punched Ba'al in the face that one time. Not only is she a badass, it's her empathy that tells her when to reach out and when to stand her ground and that's what makes her a truly inspiring person.
She's the cement that holds the team together, making her an incredible, loyal friend to SG-1 and an even better role model to the fans who watched her each week.

WINDHOEK - After the tremendous success of the 2018 Start-Up Festival in Windhoek, the Gobabis Municipality in cooperation with the Financial Literacy Initiative hosted a Micro Business Start-up Festival in Gobabis this past weekend (24 November 2018) in the Freedom Square Informal Settlement. This year's festival was hosted under the theme "Own Your Zula". The festival was sponsored by the Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) on behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ). The event, which was attended by over 500 members of the informal settlement, served as a platform for participants to learn about upscaling their existing businesses and new ways to create alternative sources of income to improve the local informal economy and put informal settlements on the map as economically productive areas contributing to the local as well as national economy.
Many of the informal settlement dwellers in the area are involved in some form of income generating activity. Supporting them is essential to improve the local economy of the settlement and address unemployment through business creation.
Speaking at the event, the Presidential Advisor on youth matters and enterprise development, Diasry Mathias, highlighted the importance of hosting events of this nature in informal settlements to encourage the youth to take a more proactive approach in creating a better future for themselves.
The festival offered a spectacular programme with parallel workshops and panel discussions on topics such as "Own your Zula", dealing with failure as an entrepreneur, managing your business and personal finances and creativity in business.
The festival concluded with a pitching competition where nine residents from the settlement pitched their business ideas on the big stage. The first prize winner walked away with N$6000 and a Pebble computer, followed by the second and third prize winners who also received Pebble computers and cash prices. Each of the participating pitchers also walked away with N$1000. Apart from the innovativeness of the pitches, one of the main pitching criteria was the impact the business idea would have on the Gobabis community.

WeWork has signed lease agreement with Piedmont Office Realty Trust for Piedmont's Class A trophy tower located at 200 South Orange Avenue, also known as SunTrust Center.
WeWork will occupy three entire floors of the prominent tower at 200 South Orange Avenue across more than 70,000+ square feet with workspace for more than 1,000 WeWork members. WeWork members will also have access to the on-site state-of-the-art fitness center and conference center. It is expected to open next year.
"WeWork is excited to call the City of Orlando our newest home in Florida," said Bobby Condon, Southeast General Manager for WeWork. "When we look for new markets, we keep our members at top of mind and strategically seek out high-growth areas where they can seamlessly live, work and play. WeWork at 200 South Orange Avenue will place our members in the heart of downtown Orlando's Central Business District. We look forward to bringing our global platform to the creators of Orlando as we plant and expand our footprint in one of the state's most populous metropolitan areas."
"When you think of Orlando, you may immediately associate our city with theme parks and a world-renowned reputation as a vacation destination, but you may not know we have worked hard in recent years to diversify our economy and grow Orlando's reputation as a place of innovation and collaboration," said Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer. "WeWork is a welcome addition to our city, not only providing new opportunities and experiences for the community, but also encouraging strong co-working relationships where entrepreneurs and large companies can work together to pursue their dreams and achieve their goals."
"We are thrilled to welcome WeWork to Orlando and to downtown's premier office address," said George Wells, Piedmont's Executive Vice President of the Southeast Region. "The project's pending upgrades will provide a truly unique experience for our tenants and for WeWork's members. We are excited to reimagine and enhance Orlando's most iconic office tower, and we look forward to seeing the vibrancy that WeWork's members will also bring to this project."
Piedmont, one of the largest owners of Class A office space in metropolitan Orlando, recently unveiled plans for major upgrades at the project including a full lobby renovation, redesign and activation program for the property's distinctive park, a new rooftop terrace, and even a food hall offering multiple cuisines. WeWork worked closely with Piedmont to execute the lease, as well as coordinated with the Orlando Economic Partnership and the City of Orlando ahead of this announcement.
"WeWork's welcoming and collaborative space fits right into what our region is all about," said Tim Giuliani, President and CEO of the Orlando Economic Partnership. "After leading the nation in job growth for four consecutive years, it's easy to see why Orlando is a natural fit for WeWork. Their presence in downtown Orlando will significantly enhance co-working options in our booming region, which means more location opportunities for our business community to create great jobs."

Better services promised as £13m East Midlands Trains investment scheme begins
Rail improvements: A £13 million investment to improve East Midlands Trains services, bringing extra trains to Lincoln, has begun.
Transport Secretary Patrick McLoughlin and Neil Micklethwaite launching the scheme in Derby on October 19.
A £13 million investment to improve East Midlands Trains services, bringing extra trains to Lincoln, has begun – following a rail franchise extension.
The programme of investment, which will upgrade trains and stations across the region, was officially kicked off on Monday, October 19.
Following an agreement with the Department for Transport (DfT), rail operator Stagecoach group will continue running East Midlands Trains services.
The group's contract, which was due to end in October 2015, was extended until at least March 2018.
Planned improvements include further investment in the Nottingham-Newark-Lincoln timetable, with faster journey times and extra services on Saturdays.

Customers are being told to expect discounted fares and an improved compensation system for delays.
They are also being promised cleaner stations and trains, a better on-board service and new technology to provide faster and better customer information.
Local communities will benefit with more than £250,000 invested in community rail, new initiatives with schools and continued opportunities for graduates and young people.
Extra front-line staff will also be recruited to help customers, and employees will benefit from a range of improvements.
To mark the start of the programme, extra staff are on hand at stations across the network today handing out free train-shaped chocolates and talking to customers about the plans for the next few years.
The Secretary of State for Transport, Patrick McLoughlin, helped East Midlands Trains kick off the investment programme and the first day of the new franchise by joining Neil Micklethwaite, Customer Experience and Commercial Director for East Midlands Trains and the team at Derby station.
Patrick McLoughlin said: "I want to see passengers put at the heart of our railway system. The franchise that starts today will mean better journeys and a better deal for passengers on East Midlands Trains.
"Strengthening our transport infrastructure, locally and nationally, is a key part of the government's long term economic plan, and the £38 billion spent on the UK's rail network between 2014 and 2019 will help boost jobs and growth."
Jake Kelly, Managing Director of East Midlands Trains, added: "We are extremely pleased to have been given the opportunity to continue operating train services until at least March 2018, and we're certain our customers will welcome the plans we have in place to improve our services.
"Today marks the start of a new era for East Midlands Trains and we hope customers will enjoy talking to our team, reading about our plans and of course, eating the free chocolates we'll be handing out!"

Think about being able to get your tax refund money early without waiting for it!
Pretty cool idea you say? Well, let's weigh the risks versus the benefits of taking out one of these loans for this purpose.
As you can see the risks outweigh the benefits and it simply is not worth the risks involved to get your money a week or two earlier than if you waited for the refund itself.
And the refund comes without an interest charge!
These companies actually drool over your money this time of year and can not wait for you to contact them for one of these loans.
They know the average person ends up extending their loans at least four times on average before they retire the loan, and this means huge profits for these companies.
Why would you want to help make them rich?
They also know that the default rate on these loans is closing in on 50 percent, and this is where they really jack you up!
They also understand how promising you instant cash will lure you into their trap with your eyes wide open because who can turn down instant money, right?
Take a look at this video from 2009. It has gotten worse since then but the numbers still hold true. The Refund Anticipation Loans still exist and they have been joined by payday loan tax refund advance loans, and the interest is actually higher today than it was when this video was created!
This was 2009, and the hopes of capping the interest and even outlawing these types of loans are dimming.
It seems there is big money in congress backing these loans and making it impossible to take action against them.
This is reason enough to avoid these kinds of loans at all costs!
Most people who get caught in these traps have never had any experience with these companies and the lure of instant money is just too much temptation when in reality waiting for your refund makes all the sense in the world.
Do yourself a favor and wait for that tax return, so you will not have to pay it back 10 fold!
If you already have been trapped by these companies and are in need of help with out of control payday loan debt please see our Payday Loan Repayment Plan page for more information on how we can help you with that!
Yes, I believe you are quite right, in that these types of services can be questionable as they seem very much geared to those in dire need…usually impoverished people.
It seems such a shady business that feeds off the fear of those having a financially challenging time, and making a profit from their adverse situation.
I mean, wouldn't it be better to offer a service in educating people who are having financial difficulties rather than sinking them further into the hole?
Thanks for this important post about these types of low energy businesses.
Oh if only it were that way!
Imagine a lender talking you OUT of a loan!
Well, in a perfect world……….
For now I guess we will just keep staying busy helping everyone we can and if you should run into anyone who may need our services please point them in our direction!
Thanks so much for sopping by!
Thank you for this post. It does have a warning about taking out one of those high interest loans before getting one's tax refund. I am suspecting that generally many of our poorer folks are succumbing to these loan companies? Right? Your post really puts things into perspective. Thanks again!
Correct, these services are aimed at the underprivileged and that is just plain wrong in our book!
Taking advantage of others problems and making a profit off of them is just not right and that is why we are here, to stand behind those who need our help.
Thanks for stopping by and help spread the word we are here!

The history of massage can be traced as far back as 3,000BC. Humans have always had a strong instinct to stroke or touch the body when ailed in order to console the afflicted or speed up recovery. Massage is a caring, hands-on therapy which helps to induce relaxation, reduce the effects of stress on the body and restore a healing balance to mind, body and soul.
There are many benefits, both physical and psychological, to be received from regular massage. Many of which counteract the negative effects of stress on the body. When we are faced with a stressful situation, our body produces adrenaline which prepares us to either fight, flee or freeze. Our heart rate goes up pumping more blood round the body therefore increasing blood pressure; our muscles become tense; our minds become alert and we experience feelings of fear and anxiety and we excrete excess urine. In caveman times, this was useful when faced with a sabre-tooth tiger as the body was ready for action, however, prolonged exposure to stress can have a detrimental effect on our body as modern day living means that we are much more sedentary and many of our stresses are emotional and mental and not physical therefore we do not use our bodies as we used to when faced with danger.
"I began having massage at Distinction in 2006 following a very bad hip break in December 2005. My first massage therapist was Pamela and she was succeeded by Jade in January 2009; without them I would still be crippled. Their care, attention and skill has weaned me off painkillers and given me my back my mobility. Very often, the therapists at Distinction will find an area of tension before I even feel pain and put it right before a problem arises. I also suffer from arthritis and they keep it under control by reducing my stress levels and keeping my muscles supple so many thanks again to Jade, Pam, Lorraine, Michelle, Tara, Lana and all the other who take care of me when Jade is on holiday. The service and care at Distinction is beyond compare."
"About 18 months ago I had quite a bad horse riding accident which resulted in my having a crack fracture in my pelvis; ripped glute muscle; crushed nerves at the base of my back & extensive clotting due to internal bleeding. I was sent home from A&E with some painkillers. I did a self referral to physio after 12 weeks only to be told there was nothing they could do for me. Thankfully Ashley and Amy at Clarkston have been willing to work steadily on my injury for just over a year now,without their expertise and ability to give focused massages coupled with their dedication and patience I am 100% certain I would not be as mobile as I am now. Their treatment has by & large left me pain free. I would not hesitate to recommend these girls personally but the company as a whole. I am indebted to them."

When you first encounter Harry Hepbron, proprietor of Dove Valley Vineyard & Winery, you cannot help but immediately realize that you are staring smack dab into the clear blue eyes of a dreamer.
The eyes take you on a journey, and you have no choice but to follow. They take you to his childhood, to when he was a kid in Kent County growing up on a farm, dragging around 100-pound bags of feed and planting row after row of corn. The eyes take you to when he graduated from high school, when with ten bucks in his pocket, Hepbron caught a ride to Chester, Pa. to work on a tanker, a job he hated. They take you to when he and Janet began a family, then a successful business. Finally, they take you back to the farm -- this one, spread out over 100 acres on Harrington Road -- the one he bought years ago in order to leave something to his family.
They take you to the moment he decided to plant row after row of grape vines on a portion of the farm 15 years ago. They take you to the opening of his vineyard seven years ago -- a well-intentioned and painstakingly orchestrated roll-of-the-dice venture, that through his hard work and dedication has earned him a reputation as one of Maryland's leading wine proprietors.
"In my lifetime, I've never been afraid to make a change," Hepbron said. "I've always had vision. I've never had the problem of having blinders on. When I bought this farm years ago, I thought, 'What kind of crop do I grow?' I love to farm but thought that soybeans and corn weren't where I wanted to go.
"I didn't know yet what I wanted to grow, but I knew that I always wanted to grow a product that people would come here to buy. That was my vision, instead of me jumping in a truck and selling."
He began to read magazine articles that wrote about vineyards. He bought books about how grapes are made into wine, and pored through them. He visited the Finger Lakes in upstate New York and learned how winemakers in that wine-rich region worked. He attended a wine school in New Jersey, and made himself known to as many people as he could.
When the grapes first arrived, he sold them in bunches, but finally, seven years ago, they were mature enough to be made into wine, and the winery was officially opened in 2007. Now, under Hepbron's watchful eye, Dove Valley Wines have earned a reputation as some of the best wines in the state of Maryland and beyond.
With its seven types of wine and 13 varietals that range from its Pinot Noir and Merlot, to whites like its Riesling and Gold, as well as its signature offerings like Chocolate Raspberry and Winter Spice, Dove Valley has hit the regional wine map. Visitors from as near as Elkton and as far away as Germany, China and Australia now have Dove Valley wines on their shelves, while those who know best have also taken notice. Dove Valley's Pinot Noir was a winner in the Finger Lakes International 2009 competition; its Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Vignoles were both given the Maryland's 2008 Governor's Cup bronze; and its Dove Valley Red took home the Maryland's 2008 Governor's Cup silver recognition.
During that time, on the back of superb products and supported by a year-round calendar of events held at Dove Valley, Hepbron and his family have become Cecil County's First Family of Wine. His daughter Janel Griffith manages everything from event planning, wine making, marketing, and wine analysis, and its not uncommon to see many Hepbrons working in the fields or managing a wine tasting event.
"This line of work requires hard work, dedication and personality," she said. "I think we're gifted in the fact that we enjoy speaking with our customers. We try to treat people like we want people to treat us. People tell us that they're comfortable here." "As a small business, not only do we grow our grapes, bottle them and distribute them, we also recognize that because we're off the beaten path, we recognize the need to bring people in."
Under Griffith's vision, Dove Valley has become a destination point for hundreds of visitors who participate in events like its Dog Days of July; the Harvest and Crush Festival, that allows visitors to help the Hepbron family pick and prune the annual crop; dinner theater gatherings that feature local performers and allow the vineyard to collaborate with are restaurants; as well as a full line-up of arts and music festivals -- such as Winestock, which drew over 600 concert-goers and wine lovers this past October.
"We keep exploring ideas to make our events more successful," Griffith said. "We try to do a lot locally with local folks, as well as with local artists and restaurants and vendors. We open our door a lot with other businesses. People tell us all the time that we're a little hidden treasure. We've always tried to make Dove Valley a destination point, and it gives us great pleasure to know that we've done that."
On a recent late November morning, Griffith was swamped by a flurry of phone calls inquiring about remaining availability for Dove Valley's upcoming dinner theater production of Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol," which was held three times at the winery's pavilion.
Each performance was nearly sold out. Proudly displayed at a wine tasting table were award-winning bottles of Dove Valley wine, while above the table, tye-dyed Winestock t-shirts are indicative of the many events held there every year. Nearby, there was a framed photograph of Griffith' son Dillon, a Marine, who is currently serving overseas. Nearly everywhere you look in the tasting room at Dove Valley, there is clear evidence of family, ingenuity and quality.
There are also hints of the future, too. In a recent correspondence back home, Dillon wrote that when he comes back from the service, he wants to use a part of the family farm to develop a microbrewery.
Harry Hepbron's blue eyes sparkled when Dillon's letter was mentioned. He is already making plans for expansion.
The Dove Valley Vineyard & Winery is located on 645 Harrington Road, Rising Sun, Md., 21911. Tastings and tours are held daily. To learn more about Dove Valley, call 410-658-8388, or visit www.dovevalleywine.com.

HOMH: Alexander Stott is unsure, but optimistic about the future ahead
Photo by Symphony Rutkowski
Alexander is willing to work hard to achieve his dream career.
Story by Symphony Rutkowski , Staff Writer
"I definitely am my own person. But, if you look at everyone in the entire world, maybe you realize you aren't as unique as you think. There are tons of people who like to bike, tons of people who like to bike and who love engineering, people who do this and this and this and have the same characteristics as me. Of course, they will never be exactly the same as me. It is nice to have something to relate to, though, generally speaking. It's hard to say, because what I'd love to do in my future is to work on cybernetics, things of that nature, through like a software engineering type of lens. Anyway, it's hard to say what I want to do in the future, but I'm not sure what I'll want to be recognized for in the future. Like, do I want to be known as Alex the Cybernetics Guy, but it's a title… It's about luck as well, because it's not like 'I want to do this,' and then leave that legacy. It takes time and luck to get there. You can control most of your luck, I guess, [through] preparation. It's not like, 'oh, I'm going to do this, it's going to happen,' it's like, maybe there's barriers and obstacles that are going to show up that you didn't account for, and whether or not you're prepared to deal with it adequately is going to be life."

Q: How do I deploy my Google App Engine project when not behind a proxy in Python 2.7 despite this urllib2 error? From this question ( Can't deploy my app to Google App Engine ), I see that perhaps some imports aren't allowed on production GAE.  I've cut down to the following:
import webapp2 # Comes with latest GAE w/ Python 2.7
import os # for loading appropriate files on the server

from google.appengine.ext import db
from google.appengine.api import channel
from google.appengine.ext.webapp import template

I'm not directly linking to a website in my Python script.  This is the only line where I refer to a file.
path = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), 'myfile.html')

I'm working at home, not behind a proxy.  Despite all these things that I've seen as factors in other questions on SO and in various search results, I continue getting the following error.
2012-10-11 13:22:01,890 ERROR appcfg.py:2182 An error occurred processing file '':

So there's the error, and I really don't think it's on my end because of how minimal I've made my code.  To recap:

*

*Unlike other questions and their unmarked solutions, I'm not behind a proxy;

*I don't have any internet URLs in my python script;

*I'm using Python 2.7 and the Deploy button on the Google App Engine launcher.

One solution I haven't tried is setting an environment variable (http_proxy, https_proxy) to my proxy because I don't know what proxy to set it to; I don't have one.  In my project settings, I have https://myappname.appspot.com as the Deployment Server.
How do I proceed?  Any red flags you can identify immediately from what I've described?
Note:

*

*Since starting to write this and continually clicking on more suggestions from StackOverflow, I've tried setting a new environment variable http_proxy to my IP, my IP:8080, and "host_or_ip:port" (from question How can I disable the automatic checking for updates when Google App Engine Launcher is started?).

*I'll be trying the same values with https_proxy while you good folks read and put out your ideas.

A: Make sure you're using the correct development server.
It should be: http://appengine.google.com

This Date In Royals History–1969 Edition: September 28
September 28, 2019 / darinwatson
A pair of four-run innings helped the Royals close out the road portion of the 1969 schedule with a 10-3 whipping of the White Sox at White Sox Park in Chicago.
Kansas City quickly jumped in front with one of those four-spots in the first inning. Scott Northey led off with a walk from Chicago starter Fred Rath and stole second with one out. With two outs, Ed Kirkpatrick hit a line drive into the gap in left-center. The ball eluded outfielders Ken Berry and Angel Bravo, and by the time they tracked it down, Kirkpatrick had circled the bases for an inside-the-park home run and a 2-0 lead. Jerry Adair singled and Bob Oliver hit a home run, this one over the fence, increasing the lead to 4-0.
The Royals would not score again until the fifth, when Kirkpatrick hit his second home run of the game and 12th of the year. This was a solo blast off Rath.
Royals starter Mike Hedlund had pitched well for four innings with the comfortable lead, allowing just three hits over those frames. But the White Sox climbed back in the game with a big fifth inning. Bobby Knoop started things with a single. Berry put down a bunt, but Hedlund made a poor throw to first and both runners were safe. Doug Adams singled for one run, and Walt Williams reached on a bunt single to load the bases. Berry scored on a Luis Aparicio fly ball, and with two outs, Bill Melton singled to cut the Royals' lead to 5-3. Reliever Moe Drabowsky entered the game and ended the inning by retiring Ed Herrmann.
But the Royals opened the game up with their other four-run inning, answering Chicago's big inning with one of their own. With reliever Gary Peters taking over, Oliver led off with a single and stole second. After Fred Rico walked, Buck Martinez drove in one run with a single. With one out, Northey hit the only home run of his brief major league career. The three-run shot gave the Royals a 9-3 lead.
Kansas City added one more run in the seventh as Kirkpatrick, Oliver, and Rico singled. Drabowsky earned the win by pitching the rest of the game, holding Chicago to two hits over 4 2/3 innings.
The Royals ended their road schedule with a 33-48 record. They also ended the season series with Chicago with a 10-8 advantage. Overall, Kansas City was 66-93 and in fifth place in the AL West, 29 games behind Minnesota.

Q. I want to buy and I've heard that a lot of sellers are accepting price reductions because of the state of the market at the moment. What's the best way to approach this?
A: Uncertainty in the property market often brings opportunity and what we're currently facing is no different. At the moment, we are securing more properties for clients where sellers are open to accepting lower offers. This is because some of our buying clients have seen Brexit uncertainty as an opportunity to secure properties at prices they wouldn't otherwise be able to.
In an unclear market, those who don't need to sell will typically withdraw their property and either hang on to it or rent it out for the short-term. Over the past month, we've seen a lot of these types of sellers hold back or withdraw their properties. However, the sellers whose properties are still for sale, tend to either genuinely need to sell for financial or lifestyle reasons or have decided that now is the right time for them to move, regardless of what else is happening.
Of those vendors who are simply moving on, now can be a great time to do so if they're upsizing. For example, if they accept a 10% reduction on their existing cheaper home and they're able to agree a 10% reduction on the more expensive property they're buying, they are better off financially. The saving they're making on their onward purchase will be much more than the hit they'll take on the property they're selling.
As a buyer, if you have found the right property, the way you handle your negotiations will depend on who the seller is and their situation. A developer, for example, tends to be much more commercial and less likely to take offence to a low offer so you can often be fairly hard-nosed. If your vendor is an individual, you should find out what their motivation is. Are they looking to upsize and tie in the sale of their property into a chain? If so, they will most likely value flexibility on time scales and, if you can offer to be flexible and fit in with their timings, they may well sell to you at a lower price than they would to an inflexible higher bidder. We have just done exactly this with a client of ours. Alternatively, a seller may need a quick sale so if you are chain free and can exchange contracts and complete very quickly, you may secure the property for a bigger discount.
Of course, when you're negotiating a property purchase, you do want to make sure that the discount you're receiving is genuine, rather than you simply agreeing 10% off an inflated purchase price. Pricing information therefore becomes more important than ever and I've found that as a buying agent demand for our services increases in times of uncertainty.

Q: ¿Por qué el resultado no da lo que se espera? Para obtener ciertas estadísticas de un recorrido, se pide realizar un programa que dada una distancia, entregue la velocidad en kilómetros por hora y en metros por segundo. Para esto, existen dos variables tiempo y distancia que vienen en segundos y kilómetros respectivamente. Tu programa debe guardar en la variable resultado un string, por ejemplo, para el siguiente caso:
tiempo = 1
distancia = 0.01
La variable resultado debería tener lo siguiente:
"La velocidad es 36.0 km/h o 10.0 m/s"
Y este es mi código:

def velocidad(distancia, tiempo):

  resultado = ""

  velocidad = distancia / tiempo

  a = round((float(velocidad) * 3600),6)

  b = round((float(velocidad) * 1000),6)

  resultado = str(a) +" " "km/h" " " "o" " " + str(b) +" " "m/s"
  print("La velocidad es", str(resultado))

  return resultado

#Con distancia en km y tiempo en segundos

distancia = 0.01

tiempo = 1

velocidad (distancia, tiempo)

Muchas gracias!!!

A: les dejo una solución que también paso las pruebas. Es similar a la de arriba, tiene algunas cositas distintas. Espero que sirva el aporte.
def velocidad(distancia, tiempo):

    dist_km = distancia
    dist_m =  distancia * 1000
    time_s = tiempo
    time_h = tiempo / 3600

    vel_kmh = dist_km / time_h
    vel_ms = dist_m / time_s

    resultado = f"La velocidad es " + str(vel_kmh) + " km/h o " + str(vel_ms) + " m/s"
    return resultado

A: El que falla es el programa que califica?
Aca esta la solucion 100%:

The geographical "heat map" is interesting, particularly if you set it to show percentage of the electorate rather than raw numbers.
Things can go wrong with small ferries too.
I thought they had changed the lateral marks to cardinal ones to avoid confusing the occasional visitor who doesn't understand the direction of buoyage in Oban, so this might be a retrograde step.
Might be worth saying where Emsworth is, e.g. Emsworth, Hampshire. Also I couldn't find any contact details for Broadblue themselves.
I don't recall the Forum snow lasting beyond the equinox into BST in years past. Is it to become a year-round attraction?
Was that the one where the ball was judged to have been touched in flight by an Italian player? (An attempted charge-down, I think.) If so, it would have put all the Welsh players on side.

Another Tatsuki classic, where he travels to Californornia to photograph the beach, forests, nudes, hippies and various westcoast types. Very nice.

Given the heavy snowfall, poor driving conditions and icy parking at the venue we have made the decision to postpone the training at Willicote that was scheduled for Saturday 3rd March as we feel it will be unsafe for horses, riders and trainers.
We will look to find a new date and those already booked on will be able to either transfer their entry to the new date or get a refund – Trish will be in touch shortly.
Sorry to disappoint you if you were planning to join us, but hopefully we can find a date in April/May to rearrange to.

Chōsokabe Motochika
Last updated April 28, 2019
In this Japanese name, the family name is Chōsokabe.
Chōsokabe Motochika(長宗我部 元親, 1539 – July 11, 1599) [1] was a Japanese Sengoku-period daimyō . His childhood name was Yasaburō (弥三郎).
The Sengoku period is a period in Japanese history marked by social upheaval, political intrigue and near-constant military conflict. Japanese historians named it after the otherwise unrelated Warring States period in China. It was initiated by the Ōnin War, which collapsed the Japanese feudal system under the Ashikaga shogunate, and came to an end when the system was re-established under the Tokugawa shogunate by Tokugawa Ieyasu.
The daimyō were powerful Japanese feudal lords who, until their decline in the early Meiji period, ruled most of Japan from their vast, hereditary land holdings. In the term, dai (大) means "large", and myō stands for myōden(名田), meaning private land.
Battle of Watarigawa and Conflict with Hideyoshi
Service under Hideyoshi
He was the 21st chief of the Chōsokabe clan of Tosa Province (present-day Kōchi Prefecture). He was the son and heir of Chōsokabe Kunichika and his mother was a daughter of the Saitō clan of Mino Province.
Chōsokabe clan, also known as Chōsokame (長曾我部、長宗我部), was a Japanese samurai kin group. Over time, they were known for serving the Hosokawa clan, then the Miyoshi clan and then the Ichijo clan.
Tosa Province is a former province of Japan in the area that is today Kōchi Prefecture on Shikoku. Tosa was bordered by Iyo and Awa Provinces. It was sometimes called Doshū (土州).
Kōchi Prefecture is a prefecture of Japan located on the south coast of Shikoku. The capital is the city of Kōchi.
In the 1562 Battle of Asakura Chosakabe Motochika defeated Motoyama Shigetoki and gained control of Shikoku Island. He then went on to take Aki Castle in the 1569 Siege of Aki. In the 1575 Battle of Shimantogawa, he defeated the Ichijo family. [2]
In 1575, Motochika was victorious at the Battle of Watarigawa, gaining control of Tosa Province. Over the ensuing decade, he extended his power to all of Shikoku.
Shikoku is one of the four main islands of Japan. Shikoku is the smallest and least populous of the main islands, located south of Honshu and east of Kyushu. Shikoku's ancient names include Iyo-no-futana-shima (伊予之二名島), Iyo-shima (伊予島), and Futana-shima (二名島), and its current name refers to the four former provinces that made up the island: Awa, Tosa, Sanuki, and Iyo.
This included the 1582 Battle of Nakatomigawa and the Battle of Hikita. However, in 1585, Hashiba (later Toyotomi) Hideyoshi invaded that island [2] :233,236,241 with a force of 100,000 men, led by Ukita Hideie, Kobayakawa Takakage, Kikkawa Motonaga, Hashiba Hidenaga, and Hashiba Hidetsugu. Motochika surrendered, and forfeited Awa, Sanuki, and Iyo Provinces; Hideyoshi permitted him to retain Tosa.
The Battle of Nakatomigawa (中富川の戦い) was fought on August 27 to August 28 of 1582 on Shikoku island between the Chōsokabe clan and the Miyoshi clan. The armies met on the banks of the Nakatomigawa on the 27th, with the Chōsokabe army of 23,000 men enjoying a clear numerical superiority. The next day Chōsokabe Motochika sent 20,000 of his men against the Miyoshi army across the river and after fierce fighting the Miyoshi were defeated suffering 800 dead and the Chōsokabe 600 casualties.
Toyotomi Hideyoshi was a preeminent daimyō, warrior, general, samurai, and politician of the Sengoku period who is regarded as Japan's second "great unifier". He succeeded his former liege lord, Oda Nobunaga, and brought an end to the Warring Lords period. The period of his rule is often called the Momoyama period, named after Hideyoshi's castle. After his death, his young son Hideyori was displaced by Tokugawa Ieyasu.
In the 1585 invasion of Shikoku, Toyotomi Hideyoshi seized Shikoku, the smallest of Japan's four main islands, from Chōsokabe Motochika.

Under Hideyoshi, Motochika and his son Nobuchika participated in the invasion of neighboring Kyūshū, in which Nobuchika died. In 1590, Motochika led a fleet in the Siege of Odawara, the Siege of Shimoda, and also fought in the Japanese invasions of Korea in 1592.
In 1596 the Spanish ship San Felipe was wrecked in Chōsokabe territory while en route from Manila to Acapulco. Motochika seized the cargo of the ship, and the incident escalated all the way up to Hideyoshi, leading to the crucifixion of 26 Christians in Nagasaki, the first lethal persecution of Christians by the state in Japan.
Motochika died in 1599 at age 60 at his mansion in Fushimi. His successor was Chōsokabe Morichika.

Major battles of Azai Nagamasa include the battle of Anegawa in 1570 and the many sieges of Odani castle between 1570 and 1573.
The Kyūshū Campaign of 1586–1587 was part of the campaigns of Toyotomi Hideyoshi who sought to dominate Japan at the end of the Sengoku period. Having subjugated much of Honshū and Shikoku, Hideyoshi turned his attention to the southernmost of the main Japanese islands, Kyūshū, in 1587.
