Food Delivery Robot Concerns

EZPass is an electronic toll card that was developed by NY State some 20 years ago and is now accepted by most/all states in the country. Electronic toll collection regarding "Lanes" could be transmitted through the toll transponder into the autonomous vehicle computer. Also, there are various traffic control monitors already in place such as the ones we watch on TV that are broadcast by the local news media, generally along with the local weather.
The technology that is needed to control autonomous vehicles is currently available through various systems, but it will need to be expanded to where every vehicle on the roads will be able to communicate with each other, and the vehicles will have to make the decisions that we humans now make.
Eventually we will be able to electronically control the speeds of every vehicle on the roads by the [1] speed zone they are in, [2] the road conditions, such as weather, [3] and the late night bar closing where most of the DUI accidents are the result of speeding. [4] Eventually, and finally, we won't need a steering wheel, shift lever/button, or a gas & brake peddle since we will simply speak to the artificial intelligence computer and say, "James" take me to Joe's bar.

@retiredtraveler - My guess is that the phase in of driverless cars (or cars that can fully communicate with each other) will take a good 10 years. So there will still be a lot of vehicles on the road which will not communicate or coordinate with anyone else .. and some of them may be driven by aggressive, antisocial people!

"...But back to programming self-driving cars, how can THEY know which way to go, if personnel are still using a Neanderthal system that doesn't generate signals about which lanes are feeding in which directions?! What happens when there are about 12 toll booths feeding into 3 lanes of traffic?...".
That is one of the major areas that software engineers are looking at, as it happens. The first phase, already in testing, is to have cars talk to one another. So, cars discover various road conditions, and will broadcast that info.
Butr getting around construction areas, and efficient lane usage, is still being worked on. I have no doubt it will happen. But I think Intel, and some other companies working on major components, are too aggressive in their predictions as far as time frame.
"...Why is everyone a victim? Take personal responsibility for your life..."
@retiredtraveler - It will be very interesting to see what criteria/limitations will be programmed into driverless cars, as more of them are on the roads!
This past weekend I drove into Manhattan, to see a show. I'm amazed that even simple technology isn't used, when it would make life easier/safer for drivers. For example, I go thru the Lincoln Tunnel, between NJ & NYC; it has 3 "tubes", each with 2 lanes. The Port Authority personnel have the ability to redirect inbound/outbound traffic, by putting up cones between the toll booths & entrance to those 3 lanes. There are 4 (I think) lanes feeding into the toll booths, coming from down from I-495. There is only 1 sign, showing that E-ZPass cars should use the left lane; there are NO electronic signs identifying which lanes are currently inbound, or which ones will allow you to go uptown or downtown, exiting the tunnel. So if you're in the E-ZPass lane, it's absolutely impossible to go uptown, if they block those lanes exiting the tunnel .. which you can't see.
But back to programming self-driving cars, how can THEY know which way to go, if personnel are still using a Neanderthal system that doesn't generate signals about which lanes are feeding in which directions?! What happens when there are about 12 toll booths feeding into 3 lanes of traffic? If self-driving cars are "too civilized," it may take longer! What happens when buses with aggressive drivers don't yield to cars that are programmed to yield to avoid accidents?
"...Are technological advances allowing/encouraging people to become inattentive, sloppy drivers .. or are drivers becoming inattentive & sloppy & technology is trying to keep up to eliminate the problem?!..".
Just last evening, I caught a long discussion about the future of driverless cars with the Intel guy who manages that part of the business. He thinks (for what it's worth), that this will become an option on virtually all autos in 10 years. What was discussed was time savings. That is, the long commutes that many western countries have would turn from someone stuck in a car, driving, to someone sitting in a car doing work, reading content, communicating, or just playing games. The 'free-up' of time was the major focus of discussion. Further, Intel is looking at fleets of driverless, electric cars that would in effect, replace companies like Uber. There would be fleets of these cars running around cities, would be called similarly as an Uber car is called, and would monitor their power levels and automatically return to a charging station, when needed, before going back in service.
Again, I have references to this kind of thing from sci-fi books I've read written in the 50's and 60's.

Crosby, McDavid, Kucherov are 2019 Hart Trophy finalists
By Sean LeahyApr 28, 2019, 3:59 PM EDT
Award announcement season is almost at a close as the NHL has revealed the finalists for the 2018-19 Hart Trophy, which is given to "to the player adjudged to be the most valuable to his team."
Sidney Crosby of the Pittsburgh Penguins, Nikita Kucherov of the Tampa Bay Lightning, and Connor McDavid of the Edmonton Oilers are your three finalists, as voted by the Professional Hockey Writers' Association at the end of the 2018-19 NHL regular season.
The Hart Memorial Trophy was presented by the NHL in 1960 after the original Hart Trophy was retired to the Hockey Hall of Fame. The original Hart Trophy was donated to the NHL in 1924 by Dr. David A. Hart, father of Cecil Hart, former manager-coach of the Montreal Canadiens.
The winner will be announced on June 19 (8 p.m. ET; NBCSN) at the 2019 NHL Awards in Las Vegas.
The Case For Sidney Crosby: The Penguins captain finished tied for fifth in the NHL in scoring this season with 100 points (35 goals) in 79 games. It was the sixth time in his career he reached the 100-point mark, and he trails only Wayne Gretzky (15), Mario Lemieux (10), Marcel Dionne (8), Mike Bossy (7) and Peter Stastny (7) as players with the most consecutive 100-point seasons. He was also tied for fifth in points per game (1.27) and tied for eighth with 3.62 points per 60 minutes. He was also the team leader with 69 points at 5-on-5. Already a two-time MVP, Crosby is a seven-time finalist and would be the ninth player in league history if he wins a third one.
The Case For Nikita Kucherov: The 2018-19 Art Ross Trophy winner, Kucherov recorded 128 points, the most by any NHL player since 1995-96, and his 87 assists were the most by a player since 2006-07. He recorded at least one point in 62 of 82 games this season and had 38 multi-point games, including two nights where he finished with five points. He averaged 1.56 points per game, the highest since Jaromir Jagr's 1.57 in 1998-99. Only McDavid (81) had more even strength points than Kucherov's 80. The Lightning forward would be the second player in franchise history to win the award, joining Martin St. Louis, who was voted winner in 2003-04.
The Case For Connor McDavid: The Oilers' captain recorded his third straight 100-point season, finishing behind Kucherov in the Art Ross Trophy race with 116 points. He had a hand in 50.7 percent of Edmonton's 229 goals (41) this season, the best in the NHL. He became the eighth player in NHL history to fail to go consecutive games without a point and led all forwards with 22:50 of ice time a night. He also recorded a league-best 81 even strength points. A Hart winner in 2016-17, McDavid is seeking to join Wayne Gretzky as the second player in league history to win multiple MVPs before turning 23 years old.

I plan to enroll in school to learn demolition and explosive technics for strip mining in the mountains..
At a press conference today, President Obama announced that he is ordering his face be placed on Mount Rushmore.
President Obama said that he has issued an Executive Order to immediately begin carving his face on Mount Rushmore. The President feels that this will create at least one thousand jobs and increase tourism in South Dakota.
The White House Press Corps erupted in applause when the President made his announcement. Representatives from MSNBC, CBS, ABC, NBC, and NPR all wept openly. "He should be the ONLY one on Rushmore," gushed MSNBC host Andrea Mitchell.
The last President under consideration to be carved into the mountains of South Dakota was Ronald Reagan. Reagan, considering the overwhelming support and acclaim he received from the American people, seemed a natural choice. The Congress approved of Reagan on Rushmore, but President Bill Clinton overruled the order.

Acesion Pharma Receives Approval for Phase I Study in Atrial Fibrillation
Appoints Internationally Renowned Scientific Advisors
COPENHAGEN, Denmark— 8 February 2018: Acesion Pharma ("Acesion" or the Company), a Danish biotech company developing novel treatments for atrial fibrillation (AF), the most common cardiac arrhythmia, announces today it has received approval to commence its first clinical study for its lead compound AP30663. The phase 1 study in healthy subjects will be conducted at the Centre for Human Drug Research (CHDR) in the Netherlands and is due to start in March 2018. Acesion also announces the appointment of internationally renowned AF experts as scientific advisors.
Atrial fibrillation is the most common cardiac arrhythmia, affecting at least 10 million people in the US and Europe and 30 million people worldwide. The incidence of AF increases with age and it is estimated that 5-10% of the population above the age of 70 have AF. It is a progressive disease that is associated with significant morbidity and a 5-fold increased risk of stroke. Existing drug therapies for AF, using other modes of action, have encountered major safety issues due to their effects on the ventricles, leading to life threatening pro-arrhythmia and/or depression of the myocardial function. In addition, their efficacy and/or tolerability has limited their use and there remains a significant need for developing better, safer and tolerable treatments.
Acesion is developing a portfolio of drugs addressing both acute and persistent AF. Acesion's novel approach is based on inhibition of SK channels – ion channels present in the atria that play a role in regulating the cardiac rhythm. Blocking these ion channels with a functionally atrial selective drug helps avoid deleterious effects on the ventricles. Targeting the SK channels thereby constitutes a novel and promising approach for an effective treatment of AF with an expected higher safety and tolerability profile.
With the approval of the CTA, Acesion will start the Phase 1 study of AP30663 in March 2018 to determine the safety and tolerability profile of a single ascending dose in healthy subjects. AP30663 has successfully completed the preclinical development program demonstrating a good safety profile and efficacy in converting AF to a normal sinus rhythm.
Acesion has appointed a group of scientific advisors comprising world-renowned experts in atrial fibrillation, including:
Prof John Camm, Professor of Clinical Cardiology at St George's Hospital Medical School, University of London and Professor of Cardiology at Imperial College London
Dr Jeremy Ruskin, Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School and Founder and Director Emeritus of the Cardiac Arrhythmia Service at Massachusetts General Hospital
Prof Dobromir Dobrev, Professor at the Institute of Pharmacology at the Universitätsklinikum Essen, Germany
Bob Humphries, pharmacologist with 30+ years of pharma experience (Fisons, Astra and AstraZeneca) as scientific and cross-functional project team leader.
Commenting on the news, Frans Wuite, CEO of Acesion Pharma said: "Atrial fibrillation affects a large global population where current treatments have safety and efficacy limitations. We are very pleased to receive CTA approval for our first in-man study for our lead candidate. This is an important milestone for Acesion in our path towards developing first-in-class treatments that offer a unique efficacy and safety profile for AF patients.
"Our world leading scientific advisors are a validation of Acesion's approach and technology platform. Their knowledge and expertise will be invaluable as we progress our pipeline of promising new AF treatments through clinical development."

Michigan coach helped build Vandy program he's out to beat
Michigan coach Erik Bakich and Vanderbilt coach Tim Corbin share a laugh during a news conference Sunday, June 23, 2019, in Omaha, Neb. When Michigan (49-20) opens the best-of-three CWS finals against No. 2 national seed Vanderbilt (57-11) on Monday night, it will be playing its ninth game at TD Ameritrade in 34 days. (Z Long/Omaha World-Herald via AP)
Yemeni rebels strike Saudi airport ahead of Pompeo visitThe Latest: Hamlin gets in front for 2nd stage at SonomaTrump puts Saudi arms sales above Khashoggi inquiryTrump: 'Surprise' question about Pence led him to hesitate
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Vanderbilt coach Tim Corbin gets right to the point when he discusses his protege, Erik Bakich.
He's proud of him. He's impressed with what he has accomplished at Michigan. He's his biggest fan.
Now he wants to beat him.
Corbin's Commodores and Bakich's Wolverines have never played each other. That changes Monday night when they open the best-of-three College World Series finals at TD Ameritrade Park.
"I'm not uncomfortable with it," Corbin said. "If you're going to play someone you really care about and like, this is the best place you could possibly do it. It's two groups of teams playing each other, more than anything else. I'm happy for what he and his wife and his staff and that university have done to put themselves in a position to play for a national championship."
The 41-year-old Bakich has become the hottest coach in the college game for taking the Wolverines to the CWS for the first time since 1984. They're playing for their first national title since 1962.
Bakich said the seven years he spent at Vanderbilt (2003-09) as an assistant to Corbin shaped him as a coach, leader and man.
"I learned everything from him," Bakich said.
Vanderbilt (57-11) and Michigan (49-20) each went 3-0 in bracket play at the CWS but otherwise have had very different seasons.
The Commodores lost two games in a row on just two occasions, most recently in early April, and swept the Southeastern Conference regular-season and tournament titles. That consistency earned them the No. 2 national seed in the NCAA Tournament.
The Wolverines slumped at the end of the regular season. They were one of the last four teams to receive NCAA at-large bids, and they survived meltdowns in regionals and super regionals to stave off elimination.
"It may have taken them 20, 30, 40 games, but they are finding their personality and are playing extremely well," Corbin said. "To go through the month of games and travel and what they've accomplished over the course of time has been nothing short of tremendous."
Bakich's first head coaching job was at Maryland, and he left for Michigan in 2013 to take on the challenge of elevating a northern program that, except for one four-year stretch, hadn't had sustained success on the national level since the 1980s.
"We have these indoor facilities, but we don't like to use them very often," Bakich said. "If it's above zero degrees, we are outside. It might only be for 20 or 30 minutes, but it's just a mindset thing. We're going outside. And our players know it, and our recruits know it, and we don't shy away from it. Yeah, it's cold here, but it's not going to keep us from getting better."
The California-born Bakich played third base for East Carolina in 1999 and 2000 after transferring from San Jose City College. He stayed at East Carolina in 2001 as an assistant strength coach and went to Clemson in 2002 as a volunteer assistant under Jack Leggett.
Leggett's two full-time assistants were Kevin O'Sullivan and Corbin. O'Sullivan went on to build one of the most powerful programs in the country at Florida and won the national title in 2017. Corbin has turned around Vandy's struggling program, winning the 2014 title and returning to the CWS finals in 2015.
"I don't know if there is a better way to sum up being in the right place at the right time, or if the phrase of surrounding yourself with good people has ever rung more true than it did when I met those guys," Bakich said. "It was an instant connection. I didn't know it maybe that day, but I met three of my closest friends and three guys I considered mentors in this game."
Corbin, 57, said it was a no-brainer to take Bakich with him when Vanderbilt offered him the job in the fall of 2002. The Commodores were coming off five straight losing seasons and hadn't been to the NCAA Tournament since 1980.
"He has a high care level for what he's doing," Corbin said. "He doesn't punch a clock. He's trying to be the best at what he's going to be. The young Erik Bakich is no different than the Erik Bakich you see today. The thing that's different is in the experience, the growth that's taken place. His passion for what he's doing has never changed."
Bakich was hitting coach, worked with the outfielders and served as recruiting coordinator at Vanderbilt. He was responsible for landing David Price, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2007 Major League Baseball draft and the 2012 Cy Young Award winner. Each of his seven recruiting classes ranked in the top 25, including the No. 1 class in 2005.
Those classes set into motion Vandy's NCAA Tournament streak of 14 straight appearances.
"Vanderbilt is not Vanderbilt without Erik Bakich," Corbin said.

Community News Caving: adventures in Kabylia
Caving: adventures in Kabylia
In spring 2014, Phil Bence and his partners in adventure took off to explore two caves in the Djurdjura Range in Kabylia. This Algerian mountain range is a karst area well-known among cavers worldwide. Two of the deepest caves in Africa are located there: Anou Iflis (-1200 m) and Anou Boussouil (-805 m). The primarily mountainous topography also hosts a diverse ecosystem whose extensive biodiversity is protected by several national parks. On a side note, the Barbary macaque is the only macaque living on the African continent and it is quite surprising to come across a monkey on the limestone pavement! An expedition report by Phil Bence rich with history and discovery…
The Djurdjura Range: hope for cavers
Exploring these two deep caves was first accomplished in the 1980s by French cavers. Following this boom, the situation became much more complicated for political reasons, access to the range more difficult, and from 1995 to 2000 the army occupied the mountains; the "dark years" of terrorism.
For the last few years the situation has slowly stabilized and access is now authorized, although still highly regulated, especially for the foreign visitors that we are!
It is impossible to explore these cavities and canyons without being formally invited by a local club.
Through Tunisian friends we made contact with the CSSM in Bejaia, a dynamic and motivated team currently reviving cave exploration in their country.
Anou Iflis and Anou Boussouil: exploration resumes
During our stay, our plan includes exploring Anou Boussouil cave to target the few question marks left regarding the topography at 500m below the surface. While the first explorers followed the most obvious path, there are likely other lines to discover, and we need to take a look to be sure. Our hunger for the unknown continues to keep us going!
Anou Boussouil
Fifteen of us stand at the cave entrance, a swallet that collects water from a vast sinkhole. There is no way we are going underground with the unstable weather…
The descent offers the chance for some to break their own personal depth record, an opportunity not to be missed! This is the first -500m descent for Maroua, the first North African woman to reach such depths. Highly symbolic, Muslim women clearly possess the motivation, energy, and skills to perform just as well, if not better, than their male counterparts. The aesthetic cave is easy to move through, a beautifully sculpted canyon right up to the major shafts, where it takes on an entirely different dimension.
A few hours later five of us stand in the dry chamber, just after a passing through a gallery referred to locally as the "salle des affamés" (or "hunger room"), searching for new passageways. Redha Atia stands with us; he has been the motivating force behind caving in Algeria for several years, and his obvious excitement and drive are a pleasure to see. After bolting a short buttress, we quickly discover two new passageways. In the first, a downclimb brings us to a breezy narrowing; Redha's small frame allows him to pass through and venture further along a meander to another narrowing that will require a little more effort to pass through.
The second passageway is simpler. A downclimb between boulders leads to a ten-meter vertical section where we fix a rope. Across the next sequence we make quick progress, downclimbing through an easy meander to a rather exposed buttress. We decide to stop here; the Algerians will have to continue exploring without us. Exploration in this cave just turned a new page, and our friends will write what is to come on their own; another important symbolic step forward in my view. During the rest of our stay, we explored other cavities but with much less luck. The other side of caving often translates to lots of work with little to show for it.
Asfis Canyon
We once again have the fortune to venture through beautiful Asfis Canyon, first explored by French cavers during the same time period. They needed several attempts to reach the bottom of this narrow gorge, an impressive gash that cuts through the range. At the time, the canyon was considered "above ground caving" and they had placed fixed ropes for the roundtrip, just like in caving. We rebolted the waterfalls, in line with modern canyoning techniques, with 12mm expansion bolts and stainless steel anchors for the rappels. Asfis is a hidden gem, and we look forward to coming back to explore the upper section!
On every trip I consider myself lucky and privileged to be able to share my passion with cavers from all over the world.
A huge thanks to our friends from the Bejaia Caving Club, to their club's president, Hamid, for organizing everything, to Medhi for having instigated this adventure, and to our Tunisian friends.
I will definitely be making the trip back to Algeria, Inshallah!
Phil Bence
GHOST RIVERS expedition What possible bug could have bitten seven cavers for them to choose to return to a triangular-shaped plateau surrounded by two deep gorges where not one drop of water flows during the dry season? A difficult proposition to believe given that the area receives more than 12 meters of rain per year, and where most of the deep gorges are scoured by fast-running rivers and streams whatever the season. This weird phenomenon occurs in the Nakanai Mountains, the legendary mountain range in New Britain, one of Papua New Guinea's many islands. Caving
Batteries: Disposable vs. Rechargeable Utilized for countless activities and jobs, headlamps allow you to clearly and safely perform your task in the dark while keeping your hands available for the real work. To ensure optimal performance from your headlamp, it's important to use a power source that best suits your objective–disposable or rechargeable. The superiority of one over the other is only relative to the situation at hand. Here are several points to ponder when considering either power source. Caving
How to Choose the Right Harness Whatever sport you practice in the vertical world, choosing a harness can seem like a puzzle. But with the wide range of Petzl harnesses available, you're sure to find one that will meet your needs and exceed your expectations, no matter how varied they may be. Here's a complete overview to help you choose the right one! Caving
Recommendations for disinfecting your personal protective equipment In most parts of the world, the current phased lifting of the stay-at-home lockdown now allows for people to enjoy sports and other physical activities again, including outdoor sports like climbing and mountaineering. Nevertheless, we still need to abide by all health and safety guidelines in place. During the current COVID-19 crisis, many of you have sent us questions asking how to properly disinfect your gear, such as your harness, rope, or quickdraws. Here are the basics that you need to know to clean and disinfect your PPE, whether an amateur outdoor sports enthusiast, or a professional managing a fleet of outdoor PPE. Caving

Tour Generali (English: Generali Tower) was a skyscraper planned for construction in the business quarter of La Défense in Courbevoie (Hauts-de-Seine, France). (Note that Generali also owns another prominent high-rise building on Avenue Louise in Brussels, which is also known locally as the "Tour Generali".)

The project was officially initiated on 18 October 2006 and is being built for Italian insurance company Assicurazioni Generali.  Part of the modernisation of La Défense, the project is being constructed by Vinci on the old site of the Iris building, which was completed in 1983. Tour Generali would have an estimated height of 319 meters (1100 feet) from ground level, at a total cost estimate of 500 million euros.

The building would have had 400m² of PV cells, 800m² of solar panels and 18 axial wind turbines on site to produce energy. Other environmental initiatives being taken in the project include mixed-mode ventilation with night purging, use of thermal mass, district heating/cooling and multi-service chilled beams (e.g. ventilation, cooling heating and lighting).

This building was to be constructed as a "green" building, and would have include a wind turbines in its spire, solar panels, and other environmentally friendly elements.

The main entrance of the tower would have been at the 6th level of the tower along the elevated esplanade/promenade, which rises 18 metres above ground level.

The Tour Generali had undergone a redesign and was shortened to 265m, which meant it would have longer held the title of the tallest building in the European Union. The project was cancelled in 2011.

Yes friends, it's our old pal Bill Barner who we met a while back with his hee-larious mirth-quake Trolley Bar Party, recorded live in Ft. Wayne Indiana (so you KNOW it's quality stuff). Today's was recorded in Fort Lauderdale, no club named (though the liner notes say he played regularly at Pal's and the Bahia Cabana Motel, so take your pick).
As I said for the first Bill Barner album, I find these live nightclub act recordings irresistible, but there's really no reason to listen more than once.

MAMMA MIA! tonight at Movies in the Park
Thanks to tonight's sponsor, the Doubletree Hotel, audiences can sing and dance to their favorite Abba songs while enjoying Mamma Mia!.
Little Rock's own Movies in the Park, brought to you by the Little Rock Convention and Visitors Bureau and the City of Little Rock, continues its 11th annual season tonight, Wednesday, July 15 at the First Security Amphitheatre.
Movies are shown every Wednesday during the season and begin at sundown.
Based on the hit Broadway musical, Mamma Mia! features Meryl Streep (with no accent!) and Amanda Seyfried as a mother and daughter on a Mediterranean isle. Dominic Cooper plays Seyfried's fiance while Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth and Stellan Skarsgård play former paramours of Streep's. Rounding out the central company are Christine Baranski and Julie Walters as longtime friends of Streep's. The plot, such as it is, concern's Seyfried trying to find out which man is her father. The real purpose of the "story" is to set up scenarios for Abba songs. While they may have varying degrees of singing ability, each of the actors are clearly having fun as they romp through the Abba catalog of hits.
Families, picnics and pets are invited to the park to enjoy movies under the stars, no glass containers please. A parent or adult guardian must accompany all children and youth under the age of 18 and an ID is required. The amphitheater will open an hour before film showings and movies will start at sundown each week. For more information please visit http://moviesintheparklr.net.

Robinson Redux March
While Robinson Center Music Hall is closed for renovations, the Culture Vulture blog is taking a look back at previous bookings in the facility each month.
March 1940 was the first full month that Robinson Auditorium was open. The month started with Blackstone the magician in performances from March 2 through 4. In addition to his appearance touted by the auditorium, Muswick Beverage & Cigar Company promoted his appearance, and the fact that he endorsed Budweiser beer. Later that month, appearances included the Shrine Circus, the AAU girls basketball championship, and the Saint Louis Symphony.
March 1950 was a particularly busy month. It featured singer Vaughn Monroe on the 6th and the Arkansas State Symphony playing Beethoven's Ninth Symphony on the 7th. On the lower level, a circus took up residency from the 7th through 10th. Back upstairs in the music hall, Ballet Theatre visited performing Balanchine's "Theme and Variations" featuring ballerina Nora Kaye and conductor Max Goberman. The month concluded on the 27th with James Dunn starring in the Pulitzer Prize winning Harvey.
In 1955, Jose Greco and His Spanish Dancers entertained audiences on March 7. Five years later, the Chicago Ballet was featured on March 26, 1960. Earlier that month (the 16th), Max Rudolf conducted the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra. March 1965 feautured the Chicago Opera Ballet (on the 2nd) and an evening of country music stars including Buck Owens and Kitty Wells (on the 10th).

March 1975 saw much activity at Robinson Center. Guy Lombardo and his orchestra appeared on the 2nd and Richard Fredricks, baritone, gave a recital on the 4th, under the auspices of the Community Concert Series. On March 5 & 6, a statewide touring production of South Pacific played at Robinson. Produced by Vince Insalaco, it starred Judy Pryor (now Judy Trice) as Little Rock native Nellie Forbush. The month closed out with the national tour of Fiddler on the Roof.
March 1980 saw Dawn Wells starring in Neil Simon's Chapter Two on the 8th. The Arkansas Symphony Orchestra performed on the 15th and 16th with pianist Lorin Hollander as guest artist. Five years later, Marilyn Horne appeared with the ASO on March 2, 1985. At the same time that evening, the Shriners Ball was taking place on the lower level. Later that month a national tour of Sophisticated Ladies stopped by Robinson on the 12th. The ASO returned on March 20 & 21 with pianist Garrick Ohlsson.

Students raise the roof with creative arts performances
News and Calendar
Students from fourteen academies came together to tread the boards of the Majestic Theatre in Retford, as part of the Diverse Academies' annual Creative Arts Festival yesterday.
The event organised by the multi-academy trust saw children from primary age up to year ten performing pieces on the theme of diversity, with an exceptionally high standard of performances.
East Leake Academy opened the show in style with a live rendition of The Greatest Show performed by a five-piece band and dance group. The film proved to be a theme throughout with pieces from the musical also appearing in acts from Tuxford Academy and Wainwright Primary Academy.
Students from Tuxford wowed the audience with their version of The Greatest Show on Japanese Taiko drums including a stand-out performance by year ten's Finton in his stage debut. While Wainwright's pupils rocked the stage with their guitarists playing – and singing – A Million Dreams.
Kirsty Rafferty, student engagement lead for Diverse Academies, said: "The Creative Arts Festival isn't about showcasing the best talent we have, but about giving students a chance to try something new. For many of our young people this was their first time on stage and they should be incredibly proud of how well they performed."
Tuxford Primary's year five pupils came up with their own interpretation of diversity with a dance they titled 'didentity' and were followed on stage by Retford Oaks' outstanding year seven students who performed When I Grow Up from Matilda the musical.
Parents and students were blown away by soloist Lerato from National Church of England Academy who sang Andra Day's Rise Up. Just moments before she'd been joined on stage by fellow students who collectively read an award-winning anti-racism poem written by year nine student Odetta.
Walton Academy also wowed the crowds with their contemporary dance to Outnumbered by Dermot Kennedy, and in their first time singing together, year nine students from The Holgate Academy performed Iris by the Goo Goo dolls.
A mix of students from years seven to ten came together for Queen Elizabeth's emotional rendition of Lost Boys by Ruth B. And the primaries didn't disappoint either with Thrumpton's Let the Love Shine Through and Bracken Lane's Still I Rise, both attracting a huge round of applause.
Pupils from Samuel Barlow Primary were last to perform with their toca drum piece and, to close the show, students from all academies came together with a rousing rendition of This is Me – the stand-out song from The Greatest Showman a fitting finale for another successful creative arts festival.
A huge well done to all of the children who performed, and to our staff members who have supported them in putting together these wonderful performances. We can't wait to see what next year's event holds!

Q: Architecture of a modern web-app with a lot of pages I'm trying to choose the architecture for the web-app with a lot of non-static pages (more than 50 pages with different content).
The major part of pages has the same scheme (menu + right menu + content zone + bottom).
The content also can be very different (tables, text, images or content for user interaction)
But there are pages which absolutely different.
How does it work now? I have the server with Perl (yeah, it's a very old app) where I generate pages (html + js + css) and then just send it to the user. The data on the page depends on every user.
I have some experience with SPA (React + TypeScript) but I understand that SPA does not suitable for my case.
Can you please recommend something to read or just tell me the name of the modern solution for my case?
Also I need help with technologies. As for me, Typescript with webpack and babel are the best for the client side, but again I don't know how it should work in my case.

A: Sorry - comments as 'answer'.  To answer this properly, we (well, me, anyway) will need more info:

*

*What are your technology constraints?  You mention Perl, is that the current state? Can you get off that or not?

In term of the solution, a data-driven web-site like this is pretty common.  A stack like ASP.Net (which I only mention because it's what I am most familiar with) will do this easily - and there are other stacks that will have comparable features:
Look up "data driven web sites", perhaps.
What you want is (warning - random list):

*

*A technology stack that in known for building data driven web sites, i.e. can implement the three essential logical layers: UI, logic, data access.

*The data access code has access to some useful database solution to store data - you mentioned users seeing different data, so no doubt you'll need a database - again, pick one that works for the stack you choose, and that is popular (easy to get help).

*The main part of the stack is the web application and the developer tools that support it.  Together these should let you easily create the "view" pages with structure, reusable components (e.g. navigation, widgets), styles, client side scripts, etc.  They should also let you easily program the dynamic parts of the logic behind them, the "controllers".

*The code / language / technology used to build the dynamic parts of the pages should also allow you to build the other layers I mentioned above.  Object Orientated OO languages can be a good fit for that.  Pick one that is strongly typed so that you get good design-time, compile-time and runtime support for debugging.

*Good web app stacks and IDE's will also provide strong reusability features though creating 'template' pages so you get consistency when you want it, and the ability to create reusable controls (that have UI and logic).

*If you use OO, do some reading on good OO design principles (e.g. this, this and this).  Do expect to learn it all at once, but what you can apply will help you in the long run.

*Client-side scripting is important to a lot of people these days - for good reason, so when choosing a toolset and architecture think about how much client-side scripting you need / want to do.

Note: Views and Controllers come from MVC, which is one type of architecture often used by wep app builders, but there are others.

*

*Lastly, to provide data on a per-user basis you'll need to handle user authentication and authorization; most decent web app stacks will provide assistance in that through some combination of add-ons, libraries, design patterns, reference architectures, guidance for implementing standards like OAuth, providers to integrate with popular identity providers (so you can do "social" log in off Google, etc).

Reading List
If you're totally new to building web apps, here's some reading material.  I have just done a search and selected articles that, at a glance, look like they might be useful (and have the least pop-ups).

*

*https://litslink.com/blog/web-application-architecture

*https://mobidev.biz/blog/web-application-architecture-types

Update - ASP.Net as Example of View & Controller Dynamic Page
In response to your comment, especially

How to build pages, on which side

I don't know anything about using Kotlin and typescript together (I can have a look), but if you think it might work try doing a proof of concept  like a "hello world" simple site to prove the technology and your intended architecture.  If you aren't familiar with it, check out the concept of a Steel Thread.
In terms of how to build dynamic pages, in stacks like ASP.Net, Pages and WebControls have two pieces that work together: one (the View) is what looks like an HTML page, but which can also include mark-up that the ASP engine recognizes:
<%@ Page Title="My Page" Language="C#"
  MasterPageFile="~/Desktop.Master"
  CodeBehind="RandomPage.aspx.cs" %>

Welcome to my page

  <asp:TextBox ID="txtMyText" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>

  ...

In this part you can mix all the usual client side mark-up, style and script code.  You see it has Desktop.Master which is a template which provides a degree of overall consistency.  The view works hand-in-hand with what ASP.Net calls the code-behind page (the Controller) which in this case is RandomPage.aspx.cs, e.g.:
namespace Adrian.RandomWebsites.Alpha
{
    public partial class RandomPage : System.Web.UI.Page
    {
        protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            txtMyText.Text = DateTime.Now.ToString();
        }
    }
}

This is where you can do backend processing, calling databases and populating the page/webcontrols with data.  Here I'm setting the TextBox to output the date/time to the page.
RandomPage is a class, written in C# which is an OO language, so you get the full deal with inheritance, polymorphism, etc.

Q: how to change div background color with anothor div attribute value in js hello guys i got small problem in javascript..
i want to change the background color of .gradient_color class and the color should be another class attribute value... i want to do this with 50+ divs all divs with different color .. how can i set the .gradient_color div background with the value of data-clipboard-text

            COPY

            COPY

A: you could get all the .gradient_color elements using querySelectorAll and loop over the returned collection. In each iteration, get the next element sibling for the current .gradient_color element and read its data-clipboard-text attribute and set is as background of the current .gradient_color element

const divs = document.querySelectorAll('.gradient_color');

divs.forEach(d => {
  d.style.background = d.nextElementSibling.dataset.clipboardText;
})
.gradient_color {
  width: 50px;
  height: 50px;
  border: 1px solid;
}

    COPY

    COPY

A: This should work as well:

const gradientColors = document.querySelectorAll('.gradient_color');
const copyButtons = document.querySelectorAll('.copyButton');

gradientColors.forEach((div,index)=>{
const color = copyButtons[index].dataset.clipboardText;
div.style.background=color;
});
.gradient_color {
  width: 50px;
  height: 50px;
  border: 1px solid;
}

    COPY

    COPY

A: I hope this answers your question?

let elem_with_color_class = document.querySelectorAll('.copyButton');

elem_with_color_class.forEach((elem) => {
  elem.addEventListener('click', function() {
    let parent = this.parentElement;
    let target_elem = parent.querySelector('.gradient_color');

    target_elem.style.background = this.getAttribute('data-clipboard-text');
  });
});
.box {
  display: inline-flex;
  justify-content: space-around;
  align-items: center;
}

.gradient_color {
  height: 30px;
  width: 50px;
  border: 1px solid #aaa;
  margin: 1em;
  display: inline-block;
}

.copyButton {
  height: 30px;
  width: 100px;
  font-size: 12px;
  font-weight: 500;
  font-family: "Quicksand", sans-serif;
  display: inline-flex;
  justify-content: center;
  align-items: center;
  cursor: pointer;
  color: #fff;
  user-select: none;

BREAKING: Buhari To Visit Lagos To Inaugurate Projects On Thursday
SaharaReporters exclusively learnt the President will be leaving Abuja this week on an official visit to Lagos.
President Muhammadu Buhari will be in Lagos State to inaugurate some projects on Thursday.
Moves are already underway to provide heavy security in some parts of the commercial city ahead of the President's visit, it was also learnt.
Such presidential visits are accompanied by heavy traffic congestion across Lagos.
"The President is going to commission projects in Lagos on Thursday," a source told SaharaReporters on Monday.
SaharaReporters had last Wednesday reported how junketing Buhari departed the country to attend Expo 2020 in Dubai in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
Shortly after hosting and meeting South African President, Cyril Ramaphosa, Buhari left the nation's capital, Abuja for the UAE capital
Meanwhile, Buhari's last visit to Lagos was in June 2021 to inaugurate Ebutte Meta Terminal of the Nigerian Railway Corporation, among other things.
He was also in Lagos for the opening of the Lagos-Ibadan rail project for commercial operations.
Governors including Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State; Seyi Makinde of Oyo State; Kayode Fayemi of Ekiti State; Dapo Abiodun of Ogun State were present at the event.
Presidential aide, Bashir Ahmad had disclosed in a statement on his Facebook page, "Construction started in March 2017, and test-running commenced in December 2020.
"The Ebute Metta Station, known as the Mobolaji Johnson Station, is the largest railway station in West Africa with a holding capacity of 6000 passengers.
"President Buhari is committed to developing a modern national railway network that will connect every part of Nigeria, and promote trade, travel, tourism, commerce, and national integration."
However, the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and former Lagos State Governor, Bola Tinubu, was conspicuously absent at the one-day working visit of President Buhari to inaugurate various projects in Lagos.
SaharaReporters had reported the conflict between the camps of both political actors ahead of 2023.
SaharaReporters had learnt that the Presidency, against its usual custom, did not extend an invitation to Tinubu ahead of the visit which should make him feel welcome at the ceremony.
President Buhari had previously visited Lagos on April 24, 2019, during the tenure of Governor Akinwunmi Ambode.
During the visit, Buhari inaugurated some projects which include the Institute of Maternal and Child Health at Ayinke House; an ultra-modern 170-bed Obstetrics and Gynaecology specialist hospital located within the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital and Lagos Theatre at Oregun, Lagos.
The President also inaugurated the Oshodi Interchange terminal for a modern transportation hub; 822 high capacity mass transit buses; and a 10-lane world standard international airport road.

As you can see there are more ways to gain new business than probably most people have time for.
