TV ReviewsMy So-Called LifeSeason 1
My So-Called Life: "Halloween"
Amelie Gillette
My So-Called LifeSeason 1
"Halloween"
"Mom, Sharon Chersky and I exist in, like, two different worlds, okay? I can't just hand her a dish, okay. I mean, it's just not that simple."—Danielle's Angela costume also includes Angela's brain.
And so we've arrived at the much-maligned Halloween episode—an episode that, along with the Juliana Hatfield Christmas Angel episode, threatens to pop the bubble of adolescent realism that is My So-Called Life. After all, real adolescents aren't usually participants in the aftermath of 1960s ghost sock-hops. Then there's the inherent dangers of doing a holiday-themed episode at all: how to sidestep the Halloween clichés. But despite the fact that, yes, Angela does interact with a ghost greaser, and the fact that Patty and Graham succumb to the seductive delights of Halloween costume role-play, "Halloween" somehow remains true to MSCL's commitment to realistic high school life–Even if sometimes it feels like an episode of Goosebumps. (Still, if there's any TV teenager who could convince herself that she's seen a ghost, it's Angela Chase, the one who spends most of her time in her head anyway.)
In a way, Halloween is the perfect holiday backdrop for this show, because it is a holiday that belongs to both kids and adolescents, and how you spend Halloween defines which side of the kid/adolescent line you fall on. If you're a kid, you dress up and go trick-or-treating with friends, acquisition of candy being your main goal. If you're an adolescent or teen, you may still dress up, but your main goal shifts to mischief and partying. Still, both sides are envious of the other. In this episode, Danielle represents the kid side, though her Angela costume betrays her longing to cross over to the other side, or at least to be tolerated by the people that reside there. Sharon, in her rat/cat finery, is on the teen side, though the obligations of her teen life (fun-sucking jock boyfriend, going out, parties) pale in comparison to the joys of dressing up and trick-or-treating. ("I forgot how much fun this is," she remarks to Danielle/Angela, though she could just as easily be talking about hanging out with "Angela" as trick-or-treating.)
Also on the teen side gazing longingly at the kid side is the real Angela, who is so afraid of looking stupid in front of her peers she refuses to wear a costume to school on Halloween, even though all she wants to do is wear a costume. When she arrives at school and sees the sea of biblical figures, rat/cats, and foam heads that surround her, she realizes she miscalculated. So much so, that Brian is now trying to commiserate with her, "I can't believe people are walking around dressed like idiots," he tells Angela, conspiratorially. "I wouldn't talk," she replies. Zing.
Turns out, costumes are okay to wear, as long as they're the right costumes: Ricky dresses like his sartorial opposite, Brian Krakow. Rayanne dresses up like a sexy vampire, constantly shaving her legs or adjusting her red fishnets, much to Brian's interest. And Rayanne gives Angela the appropriately "cool" costume of a 1960s vintage ensemble, complete with cat's eye glasses, and ghostly tie-in. Almost as soon as Angela puts on the musty old angora sweater, her Goosebumps-esque plotline begins to unfold, though the way the ghost story is revealed–passed second and third hand through the high school myth making gossips of the girls' bathroom–is highly enjoyable. See, Angela's English textbook belonged to Nicky Driscoll, who died a violent death in the gym on Halloween in 1961, because he might have been hanging a banner for the girl he loved, or he might have just climbed the rafters and accidentally fell and landed on a spiked heel, but either way that night the lights went out, and later on everyone found out they went out at the EXACT moment Nicky died.
"When someone dies young, it's like they stay that way forever. Like a vampire." Romantic that she is, Angela is naturally fascinated by Nicky, and retreats to the library to look him up in old yearbooks, while Rolling Stone's Kurt Cobain cover/obituary looks on. Nicky, you see, is a lot like Jordan–at least in Angela's eyes. And if that point isn't driven home by Rayanne's "He's just your type." line in the library, then it certainly becomes obvious when Angela has her first Nicky ghost sighting on the landing: one minute it's Nicky leaning against the window going nowhere with his life, the next, it's Jordan.
Eventually, Rayanne suggests a Nicky Driscoll seance of sorts for Halloween night: Tino will help them break into the school and they'll write "Nicky Driscoll was here" on the floor of the gym in red lipstick. Of course, Tino, the real ghost of MSCL, never shows up so Angela and Rayanne have to rely on Brian's "chess club way" of getting into the school: crawling through an open window into the AV storage. One glance of fishnetted leg later, Brian accidentally lets their exit door shut, and all three are locked inside the school. From here on in, all the teens make their own mischief: Angela follows some ghosts around and tries to stop Nicky Driscoll from becoming a ghost, while Rayanne and Brian sleep together (only in the literal sense). Meanwhile, Ricky runs into Jordan underneath the bleachers. As he watches his drunk friends do wheelies on their motorcycles around the track, Jordan is longing for a different kind of Halloween, and a different kind of life. Every year they do the same things, he laments, "But you come because you think what if something cool happened…And you missed it?" And that is the adolescent condition in a nutshell: waiting for something to happen that never really does, at least until high school's over.
The next day, Angela convinces Jordan not to skip English class and get expelled and therefore become the next Nicky Driscoll with these words: "I know you think how could someone like me understand. Only I do." She doesn't continue that sentiment with, "Because last night I had a vision of a ghost sock hop in the gym." but that's implied.
—The Patty/Graham Rapunzel/Pirate storyline is played for pure comic relief in this episode, and it is funny. Especially their exchanges with the costume shop owner: "Look, Dollface. I've been doin' this a long time. They'll fit like a glove."
—"My hobby is photography, so I'm, like, trained to notice stuff." "Well, being the stuff that people notice is kinda my hobby." Speaking of comic relief, Rayanne and Brian were very funny in this episode as well.
—I thoroughly enjoyed the juxtaposition of Angela's thoughts about the question "Does anybody know Jordan Catalano?" ("Does anybody know Jordan Catalano. That question, like, got to me. I mean, I had had seven conversations with him, and one really bad kiss, and one amazing one. But did I like know him?") to Angela's actual verbalized answer, "Sort of."
—"Dad, Madonna peaked." It was true then, and it's still true today.

Travel in Japan can be affordable, but the country's costly transportation will still gobble up the bulk of your budget. So you've worked hard and saved up enough for a long vacation and, after careful deliberation, will be purchasing a Japan Rail Pass, which is a smart investment for lengthy visits because it allows you to take unlimited rides on the extensive railway system – including the shinkansen bullet trains – within a specific time frame. Available in 7-day, 14-day and 21-day durations, JR Passes also cover ordinary trains, JR buses and the JR West Miyajima Ferry. Check my previous blog post to find out how you can purchase one at the lowest price.
These rail pass definitely don't come cheap, so you might as well make the most of it. They start at a regular price of JPY 29,110 (PHP 13,450) for a 7-Day Ordinary Car Whole Japan Pass. Having traveled recently with one, I'd like to share some tips on how to maximize it. With my pass, I was able to visit 12 cities from Kagoshima to Tokyo. Among the popular destinations I visited were Fukuoka, Hiroshima, Miyajima, Osaka and Naoshima (via Okayama). Within one week, I rode bullet trains and other forms of transportation covered by the pass, which would have cost me a total of PHP 24,000. Now, that's a savings of more than PHP 10,000!
Scroll down the end of this post to see the complete list of rides and the computation.
1. Plan your trips online.
Use the website HyperDia to plot your route so you won't waste time figuring it out at train stations and getting lost along the way. Find out which train to ride and from what platform. This online service is particularly useful when your trip requires taking transfers. In the search options, make sure you uncheck "NOZOMI / MIZUHO / HAYABUSA (SHINKANSEN)" and "Private Railway" to filter out any trains not covered by Japan Rail Passes from the search results.
2. Claim your pass in advance.
Your Exchange Order must be presented with your passport to claim your pass at JR stations and major airports, which are often very busy during peak hours. Avoid long queues by claiming your pass very early in the morning or late at night.
3. Choose the activation date wisely.
When you claim your pass, you can choose the date when it will be activated. You may explore your point of entry and nearby attractions for a few days, before using your pass to continue on to the next leg of your trip. For example, if you're flying into Osaka, it would be practical to postpone the activation of your JR Pass and first explore the city and nearby destinations like Kyoto, Nara, Himeji and Koyasan using a regional pass like the 2-day or 3-day Kansai Thru Pass, before using the JR Pass to travel to a farther destination like Tokyo, Hiroshima or Fukuoka (Hakata). Note that the activation date for your JR pass cannot be changed, so plan your trip well.
4. Ride bullet trains frequently.
Of course, the shinkansen or bullet train is the most expensive means of transportation that you can take with your JR Pass. A return trip by shinkansen between Tokyo and Kyoto, for example, would already cost JPY 26,160 – that's almost as much as a 7-day JR Pass! So while the JR Pass may cover other forms of transportation (eg. ordinary trains and selected buses), it's best utilized for taking the lightning-fast shinkansen from one city to another over long distances.
5. Take the first and last trains.
As much as possible, maximize your pass by taking the earliest and latest rides. By doing so, you can even base yourself out of one city and visit distant destinations as day trips. For example, on my 6th day using the pass, I took a day trip to Tokyo from Osaka via shinkansen to visit a college friend. The distance between these two cities is around 500 km, about the same distance between Manila and Legazpi, which takes 10 hours to travel by bus. Zooming at speeds of up to 300 kph, bullet trains, on the other hand, can travel the same distance for only 2.5 hours!
A JR Pass expires within the specified number of days after activation. A 7-day pass activated on January 15, for instance, will expire on January 21 (ie. before midnight of January 22). On the last day of validity, you can use the pass until midnight, as long as the departure time of your last train is before 12 AM.


Ok, so before we start: obviously you shouldn't go to Sri Lanka right now, because you're probably at work or something, and your boss probably wouldn't appreciate you getting up and jumping on the next plane to Colombo.
When we initially booked our flights to Sri Lanka, I felt a mix of excitement and a little bit of trepidation about what was to follow. It wasn't that I was nervous about visiting Sri Lanka – far from it. I just had no idea what it was going to be like. Was it going to be a mini India? Or a completely different world of its own?
I'm pleased to say that Sri Lanka has surpassed every expectation I had for my visit. I'm extremely happy I chose to come to the country – and here are five reasons you should too.
Our first night feast in Colombo!
Again, you probably knew this was coming but Sri Lanka really is crazy cheap! It's actually got to the point where any meal over 300 rupees (around £1.50) is starting to appear expensive in my mind!
It isn't just the food that's cheap either. There isn't much of a hostel culture in Sri Lanka (yet), which is fine as I've had enough of dorms recently! As a result, we've been taking a private double room each with an en-suite bathroom which has very, very rarely exceeded £15 a night. You can't even get a Travelodge for that back home!
Getting around is also extremely affordable. Our bus ride from Ella to Arugam Bay, which involved three buses and took about seven/eight hours ended up costing us less than 500 rupees – just over two quid! If you fancy splashing out, a first class seat on a train will rarely cost much more than 1000 rupees (about £5).
This came as no surprise to me, as one of the things I read in many places before coming here is that Sri Lankan people are some of the friendliest many travellers have encountered. I've lost count of the amount of times we've been stopped in the street, asked how we are, where we are from and – of course – what we think of the latest cricket headlines!
Me and my main man Asanka, who stopped for a chat at the Nine Arches Bridge in Ella.
The locals here appear to be genuinely flattered that you have taken the time to visit and appreciate their country and go out of their way to ensure you have a pleasant stay. It's great to see people take such pride in their country and more often than not, saying that it is a very beautiful place (which it is!) will be met with a huge smile and a "thank you".
As I just mentioned, some of the scenery in Sri Lanka is absolutely breathtaking and is up there with some of the best I've ever seen.
In just two weeks here I've been lucky enough to see a stunning sunset at Colombo's Galle Face Green, hike to the World's End at Horton Plains and climb up to Ella Rock. There's only so much that I can write, so I'll let the photos tell you how stunning it really is here.
Pausing for thought up at Ella Rock.
Arguably the most important reason for visiting now and not in 10 years time is that, as is sadly the case with many up and coming countries on the tourist map, Sri Lanka is unlikely to remain as untouched as it is for very long. Indeed, there are already a number of huge hotels being built on the front at Galle Face Green in Colomob – including a Shangri La complex. All this is great for the economy, but not so great for the purist traveller.
The knock on effects of an increased flow of tourists will no doubt see the country become a little more expensive, a little less untouched and I'd wage a bet that if I was to return in ten years time it would be a very different place indeed.
All I can say is go now – you really won't regret it.
amazing post! I'm so excited reading through your Sri Lanka musings now ha.
Have you been to Myanmar? It made me feel much the same way as you've described here – especially your fifth point about it not being this untouched forever!
No, I've not been to Myanmar. It was one country that was really high on my list but I just kept putting it off for other places. I'm hoping to get there soon before all the McDonalds and Hilton hotels start popping up everywhere!

Ninety-seven year old Jim Waters has lived in the Frogtown area of Lumpkin County all of his life. Sitting on his porch on Frogtown Road, he is often referred to as the Mayor of Frogtown, as he waves to passing cars. His niece, Marsha Kaufman, sat down with "Mr. Jim" and recorded his recollections of growing up in Frogtown. She published his memories and received a Certificate of Appreciation from the Lumpkin County Historical Society at their Madeleine Anthony Awards night program in April, for preserving this colorful hometown story.
On June 9, 2011, Historical Society president, Larry Scott relived the early days of our county as seen by one of its elder citizens using readings and discussions from this biography. The meeting, appropriately, was held in Frogtown at Lumpkin County's first vineyard and farm winery since prohition times - Three Sisters.
"Mr. Jim" recants stories of his Cherokee Indian grandmother, his preacher grandfather, his large family of brothers and sisters, early farming and food storage methods, folk medicine, his own near death experience, how he won "Miss Jessie" for his wife, and many humorous stories of life at home, school and church. You will learn so much and get to appreciate the hardships of every day living in the early 1900's.
The author, "Mr. Jim" as well as over 60 "Frogtown neighbors" attended the presentation.

Not only is the game idea important, but also the quality of its production and the safety of its materials.
Learning Tube belongs to that category of games that apart from being unique due to its innovative packaging, the online content and the new way of gaming it expresses ,it also stands out for the quality production and the careful choice of materials, so that the game not only is safe, but is also durable, useful and has a quality that makes it sustainable.
Most importantly it distinguishes from the competition, where the product has to travel 40 days and nights in order to reach out in the store, with doubtful productive methods and quality.
The choice of paper, its thickness, the shape of the cards, the quality of the printing, the specification, the packaging, and the durability of the construction are elements that were chosen carefully, without compromise in order to ensure great balance between a true quality image, content and philosophy.
Learning Tube proudly declares its great origins. It is the inspiration of people who love and study board games for many years and are here to develop them. They insist on the Greek identity for all sections of the productive procedure, from the design of the contents and the packaging, to the printing and the assembling that is done by hand. Meanwhile the construction has all the required by the European legislation, characteristics and certifications.
Learning Tubes are produced with high quality materials approved by EU laboratory testings.
Our goal is to prove that this country can still give birth to creative ideas and also produce products distinguished for their quality characteristics.

New details out today on Leeds' £450m hospitals plan as MP Hilary Benn praises 'exciting development'
An image of what the inside of the new Leeds Children's Hospital building could look like.
Joseph Keith
Fresh details have emerged about plans to transform Leeds General Infirmary, as an MP has praised the planned expansion that would cost an estimated £450m.
New documents were yesterday published by Leeds City Council, ahead of a pre-application presentation over the proposals by Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust.
The YEP this week revealed early plans to create two state-of-the-art hospital buildings, billed as "world class", that will include a new children's hospital opposite Millennium Square and behind the LGI's Brotherton Wing.
Leeds Central MP Hilary Benn today praised the project that he said would "realise a long-held ambition of many people".
The site will consolidate paediatric services in Leeds, currently spread across the Clarendon and Martin Wings.
A second, adult facility, joining onto the Jubilee Wing has also been proposed as part of the expansion, which was yesterday hailed as NHS bosses as a "huge step forward" for patient care and innovation in Leeds.
In pictures: The changing face of hospitals in Leeds over the years
The pre-application will be discussed by the council's City Plans Panel on Wednesday.
A report, prepared ahead of the meeting and published yesterday, has now also revealed the trust's plans for a new, 450-space multi-storey car park serving the children's hospital.
Hilary Benn, MP for Leeds Central, told the YEP: "This is a really important and exciting development which will improve healthcare for the people of Leeds and of the region.
"The new Children's Hospital will bring care onto one, purpose-built site and so realise a long-held ambition of many people. I wish the project every success."
The published early-stage plans show that, in order to create the new site, the former nurse's home, and a mix of 20th century buildings that currently sit behind the Brotherton Wing, some of which have "architectural and historic merit", would need to be demolished.
There were also details about planned changes to parts of the St James' Hospital, including creating a new pathology building, a new "multi-specialty assessment area" supporting A&E and centralising ophthalmology services.
The proposals will be discussed in detail at the pre-application presentation next week, before the trust plans to lodge a full planning application in December.

Still - sadly - a threatened species in much of the UK, but much of the north east of England is still relatively Grey squirrel free, so we're doing OK.
Canon 1D X, 500mm f/4 Mk II + Mk II 1.4x TC, handheld.
Wow Keith - fantastic shots, by any standard, but all the more so for being hand held!
No comparison with the fantastic images before, these were taken with an EOS D60 which was a 6mp camera back in 2002 or 3 (still have). I don't remember if the lens was a 400mm f5.6 or the 80-200mm. These are from Geneva-Switzerland.
Both images handheld, i never use tripod.
Can´t see those differences, they look all cute and badasses.
I love squirrels! I love all the pics, but this set is just superb! The little squirrel is so cute. Great job, Mr. Haines.
Very nice shots, Don. I really like the first picture.

Home International News North Korea's Kim set for first summit with Putin
North Korea's Kim set for first summit with Putin
VLADIVOSTOK, Russia, April 25, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – Russian President Vladimir
Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un meet for their first-ever summit
Thursday, with the visitor looking for Moscow's backing in his nuclear stand-
off with the United States.
The meeting on Russky island near the Pacific port of Vladivostok in
Russia will be Kim's first face-to-face talks with another head of state
since returning from his Hanoi summit with US President Donald Trump, which
broke down without a deal on the North's nuclear arsenal in February.
Kim will be looking for Putin's support in easing the sanctions imposed on
Pyongyang over its nuclear programme — possibly including continued
employment for North Korean guest workers in Russia beyond a December
deadline.
For its part Moscow is keen to exert influence in another global
flashpoint.
Kim's armoured train rolled in to Vladivostok's Tsarist-era station on
Wednesday, the North Korean leader stepping out onto a red carpet on the
platform wearing a long black coat and fedora.
In Hanoi, the cash-strapped North demanded immediate relief from
sanctions, but the talks broke up in disagreement over what Pyongyang was
prepared to give up in return.
North Korea last week launched a blistering attack on US Secretary of
State Mike Pompeo, insisting he be removed from the negotiations just hours
after announcing it had carried out a new weapons test.
Pompeo said on Wednesday he expected "bumpy" talks ahead with Pyongyang
but that he still hoped to reach a potentially landmark denuclearisation
deal.
The Soviet Union was once Pyongyang's biggest ally, and Russia has already
called for the sanctions to be eased, while the US has accused it of trying
to help Pyongyang evade some of the measures — accusations Russia denies.
"I hope this visit will be successful and useful," Kim told Russian
television in the border town of Khasan, where women in folk costumes
welcomed him with bread and salt in a traditional greeting.
"I hope that during the talks… I will be able to have concrete
discussions on resolving situations on the Korean Peninsula and on the
development of our bilateral relationship."
– Island venue –
Russian and North Korean flags were flying on lamp posts on Vladivostok's
Russky island, where the summit was to take place at a university campus.
The talks follow repeated invitations from Putin since Kim embarked on a
series of diplomatic overtures last year.
Since March 2018, the formerly reclusive North Korean leader has held four
meetings with Chinese President Xi Jinping, three with South Korea's Moon
Jae-in, two with Trump and one with Vietnam's president.
The Kremlin has said the focus of the talks will be on finding "a
political and diplomatic solution to the nuclear problem on the Korean
Peninsula" but that no joint statement or signing of agreements was planned.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Wednesday that the six-party talks on
North Korea's nuclear programme — launched in 2003 with the participation of
North and South Korea, China, Japan, Russia and the United States — remained
the best option for finding solutions but that other efforts were worth
looking at.
"There is currently no other effective international mechanism," Peskov
told reporters.
"On the other hand… all efforts deserve support if they are really
pursuing the goal of denuclearisation and resolving the problems of the two
Koreas."
– Cold War ties –
Moscow was a crucial backer of Pyongyang for decades and their ties go
back to the founding of North Korea, when the Soviet Union installed Kim's
grandfather Kim Il Sung as a leader.
The Soviet Union reduced funding to the North as it began to seek
reconciliation with Seoul in the 1980s, but Pyongyang was hit hard by its
demise in 1991.
Soon after his first election as Russian president, Putin sought to
normalise relations and met Kim Jong Il — the current leader's father and
predecessor — three times, including a 2002 meeting also held in
Vladivostok.
China has since cemented its role as the isolated North's most important
ally, its largest trading partner and crucial fuel supplier, and analysts say
Kim could be looking to balance Beijing's influence.
While ties between Moscow and Pyongyang have remained cordial, the last
meeting between their leaders came in 2011, when Kim Jong Il told then-
president Dmitry Medvedev that he was prepared to renounce nuclear testing.
His son has since overseen by far the country's most powerful blast to
date, and launch of missiles which Pyongyang says are capable of reaching the
entire US mainland.

XAVIER FRANCIS, 19, of Boonville and Ukiah, was arrested at Mendocino College last Thursday on a $50,000 felony burglary warrant. Dogged police work by resident deputies Squires and Walker led to Francis's arrest. He and several other graduates of LifeWorks Group Home in Boonville are suspected of stealing the guns, which have not been recovered, while the Sanchez family was on vacation. The investigation is continuing and more arrests are expected.
MELISSA MEADER hopes to get a planning grant for a bike trail that would run the length of the Valley. Ms. Meader and her fellow bike-trail advocates call themselves "Cycked." They've started a Facebook page to promote their dream. A planning grant obtained through the Mendocino Council of Governments would provide funds to define the trail which, of course, would include Caltrans rights of way and, perhaps, at the Navarro end of The Valley the long abandoned narrow-gage logging train routes that run out to Albion.
LAST WEEK, the enterprising and dynamic Ms. Meader appeared at the Community Services District Budget Committee meeting to request that an account be set up to handle the grant funds. Fire Chief Colin Wilson, agreeing that a bike path would undoubtedly make local roads safer by keeping bikes out of traffic lanes, went on to somewhat harshly say that he didn't want his tax dollars spent on planning a project that might never happen. The bike trail subject was not on the Budget Committee's agenda and required a vote to even take action on Ms. Meader's request. Two of the Budget Committee members — General Manager Joy Andrews and Director Kathleen McKenna — voted to put it on the agenda, but the other four members — Director Valerie Hanelt, Secretary Joanie Clark, Fire Chief Colin Wilson and Mark Scaramella said they didn't have enough information from the Bike Trail group to seriously consider the idea. Scaramella suggested that the Bike People prepare an outline of what the project might involve and a map showing its proposed route.
ON AUGUST 6 at about 11:30pm, while on Patrol in the Navarro area as the Charlie Musslewhite concert wound down, Deputy Walker pulled over a swerving Silver Chevy Tahoe. While Walker was speaking with the driver, Shaun Branch, 32, of Texas, Walker could smell a strong odor of marijuana. Further investigation revealed three pounds of processed and packaged marijuana. In defense of his cargo, Mr. Branch produced an expired Proposition 215 medical marijuana card, so Walker proceeded to seize Branch, his vehicle and his marijuana. Branch was then taken to the Mendocino County Jail where he was booked and saw his bail set at $25,000. The next day a young woman flew in from Texas to put up the money and, as a corrections officer later reported, "Mr. Branch was last seen heading south on Highway 101 in a rental car."
HIGHWAY 128 near the Mendocino-Sonoma county line has reopened to traffic in both directions in the wake of a fatal August 2nd crash involving a fuel truck and a Toyota Camry. Traffic through the area may still experience delays because of pre-existing road work in the area. A Santa Rosa man, Luis Armando Pacheco, 22, died in the crash when the tanker's trailer crossed into his lane and crushed his vehicle. Some 4,000 gallons of fuel was spilled, as well.
STANFORD'S DEFENSIVE LINE COACH Randy Hart said last month that he expects sophomore Jacob Gowan of Philo to provide crucial back-up this season and could move into a starting nose tackle position.
THE ANDERSON VALLEY'S other big time nose tackle, Martin Tevaseu, will see plenty of action this season with the New York Jets. Look for big number 95 on the NFL's Game of the Week.
IT LOOKS LIKE the two Community Services District Board seats being vacated by Diane Paget and Andrea LaCampagne will be taken by Fred Martin of the Holmes Ranch and Henry Gundling of Signal Ridge. Martin is a retired physicist and has served as a member of the Anderson Valley Volunteer Firefighters. Gundling is a retired banker active in timberland management. Current Board member Valerie Hanelt expects to stay in her position uncontested, unless somebody else signs up before the August 17 (today) final filing deadline. Directors Kirk Wilder and Kathleen McKenna are not up for election this year.
THE FOLLOWING comments appeared on a local woman's Facebook page after she posted a note about being held up by roadwork on her way to Philo from Boonville last Wednesday: "Seriously, took me an hour to drive from Boonville… Still waiting… It took me 40 minutes just to get home from work! Crazy!! They need to do a better job with the roadwork traffic. Maybe it is slower in the evening. O happy they are fixing the road!!!! I only waited 10 minutes around 4 pm. A dump truck wrecked. Damn… good thing WT is on the job! He stood there and waited for a bigger tow truck… Yeah, good thing he was there to BS everyone. LOL. There was a page for the fire department, and my husband tried to respond, but the flagger dude wouldn't let him pass… Lame. Well, at least our roads will be smooth and hole-free. … I appreciate the road being fixed, I think Granite Construction could do a better job of traffic control, and yes, try to keep their truck upright! And that flagger dude was cussing people out as we drove past. … I was frustrated because I was less than 50 yards from my driveway — empty road the whole time I waited. It took me an hour & a half to get from Navarro to home. … I was 1st in line & I have to say there was a woman about 20 cars behind yelling at the flag guy. It's not his fault & patience is a virtue. … True —patience, and gratitude. … Sometimes roadwork is frustrating, but being married to a road crew worker, I have a heightened respect for those guys. They have a job to get done and their and our first concern is/should be their safety. It doesn't make it any less frustrating, but the end result will benefit our community greatly. … Maybe if they just had gave us a little more or any warning that this was starting and would have long waits it would have been nice. The longest waits were at the evening commute time too. I just think the timing was pretty lousy. … I had a bunch of errands throughout the day, and waited only about 20 minutes here and there, but waiting an hour to get from Indian Creek to Blattner Road at 6pm was really frustrating! But, I get the whole other side of the story. … Ok, I agree. Getting on the road in a few and hopefully we aren't too late to the car wash! … Well the evening commute problem was due to the dump truck that over turned. It is a blessing that no one was injured or killed. … A dump truck went to dump his load into the paver and a bed pin broke and made his whole bucket of his truck that was filled with about 16 tons fall over and off of his truck. Look at Starr Automotive's Facebook page and there are pictures. If someone had been standing on that side of the truck they would have been killed. … That long of a wait shouldn't happen again — we hope.
IN FACT, let's all hope that such waits will be avoided when Caltrans begins storm damage repairs on Highway 128 next year. The California Transportation Commission announced last week that Highway 128 will get $1.54 million of the $2.2 billion going to road, transit and rail projects around the state next year.
ROGILIO GUERRERO is sprucing up his family's Tire Shop in downtown Boonville with a nice new coat of paint, white paint, virginal white, clean slate white.
AS ALWAYS TERRIFIED that there could be anything but 5-0 approval on any matter before the Boonville School Board, old faithfuls Marti Bradford — 10,000 consecutive yes votes — and Dick Browning — 2,000 consecutive yes votes — have registered to run for another term on the Board, the assumption being by school Maestro and Superintendent Collins that a pair of auto-affirmatives are certainly safer than insurgent candidates Ernie Pardini and Ben Anderson.
SONOMA ACTION for Equine Rescue has apparently taken serious interest in a horse on Greenwood Road that they view as seriously neglected. The elderly equine is skin and bones, hence the recent appearance of one of Equine Rescue's reps to take incriminating photos with a view to taking legal action.

ANOTHER GREAT SHOW at the Navarro Store last Saturday attended by none other than the District Attorney himself, David Eyster. The always popular Pink Floyd tribute band was better than ever, as was their laser light show, as promised by Impresario Dave Evans. Hundreds of people enjoyed the evening, which was further enhanced with the light show's projections into the moonlit clouds where silhouettes of giant redwoods were superimposed. "Like dude! It was just gorgeous," as one delighted concert goer expressed the unanimous opinion of his fellow attendees.
DA DAVE EYSTER liked the House of Floyd show too: "Thumbs up to Dave Evans and his Navarro General Store for hosting another great concert. Last Saturday night's group was the 'House of Floyd' playing Pink Floyd music. Really enjoyed House of Floyd's rendition of 'Shine On You Crazy Diamond' ... The music was well done and accompanied by laser lighting that was fun to watch. Glad we made the drive.
PHILO RESIDENTS report "many" sitings of what appears to be an albino buck. The distinctive animal, according to one witness, "really stands out."
ALONG WITH support from the A.V. Historical Society, and with a very significant contribution from Valley old-timer, Wes Smoot, the AVA's Steve Sparks is slowly but surely putting together a book featuring photographs of the Valley's old houses and buildings — how they looked originally and how they appear now, or what is there instead! It is hoped that each one will appear with some brief historical text and help on this aspect of the project is being sought from the likes of Donald Pardini, Emil Rossi, Ben Van Zandt, Eva Johnson, Eva Holcomb, Bo and Bobbie Hiatt, Clyde Price Jr, Pat Hulbert, and others. The houses/buildings must be pre-1940. Steve is asking Valley folks for any old photographs people may have of these and any accompanying information that might be added. Please contact him at 895-2460 or by e-mail at upinthewoods@earthlink.net ...

In the 1970s and 80s the American stock brokerage firm E.F. Hutton had a very popular motto for their line of commercials, "When E. F. Hutton talks, people listen". The company was created in 1904 by Edward Francis Hutton and his brother, Franklyn Laws Hutton. It would soon become one of the largest financial firms in the US. The commercials for the firm in the 70s and 80s would have a man sitting around talking investments and suddenly a busy room full of people would become silent to eavesdrop on what he had to say. It was at that time the narrator would drop their famous tagline.
While investing and the stock market hasn't changed much since then, money itself has. Stock brokerages and capital investment firms are a huge part of our economy. But, instead of following industry leaders like Berkshire Hathaway, our 21st century versions of E.F. Hutton are now cryptocurrency visionaries like Vitalik Buterin of Ethereum and Thomas Lee of Fundstrat Global. A lesser known influencer that many should be following is Chris Dixon, who serves as a general partner at the venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz.
A programmer from a very young age, Dixon's experience is well documented. He became a professional programmer after college and has an MBA from Harvard. He has been CEO and cofounder of at least two startups, Hunch and SiteAdvisor. SiteAdvisor was acquired by McAfee in 2006, and Hunch was acquired by eBay in 2011. He co-founded Founder Collective which is a seed venture fund and made investments in numerous Internet companies including Buzzfeed, Dispatch. ai, Makerbot, Oculus and Venmo. More recently Dixon has been an active angel investor in technology companies such as Foursquare, Kickstarter and Pinterest. Bloomberg named Dixon as one of the top angel investors in the technology industry.
When Dixon talks, people listen.
Dixon says that Ethereum's tech is highly profound and, "takes the blockchain concept to its fullest potential." He admitted to making a mistake in thinking that Bitcoin might be the one crypto that rules all other coins and said that in his expert opinion he was sure that Ethereum is the most important technology of the decade.

Enrollment Completed Of International Post-Market SAVE Registry With Early Positive Results
Enrollment has been completed, according to Bluegrass Vascular Technologies (Bluegrass Vascular), (a private medical technology company focused on innovating lifesaving devices and methods for vascular access procedures) of its prospective, multicenter, post-CE Mark, international SAVE (Surfacer® System to Facilitate Access in VEnous Occlusions) Registry. In addition, the company also announced expanded patient enrollment and study sites in the SAVE-US (Surfacer System to Facilitate Access in VEnous Occlusions – United States), a pre-market investigational device exempt (IDE) Study. Positive results and trends were respectively demonstrated in both studies with use of the Surfacer® Inside-Out® Access Catheter System, a novel device designed to facilitate reliable upper body central venous access suitable for patients with upper body venous occlusions or other conditions that preclude central venous access by conventional methods.
"Completing the post-market SAVE study reinforces the Surfacer System as the standard of care for central venous obstruction, a serious challenge in the management of hemodialysis patients," stated Maurizio Gallieni, MD, Director of the Nephrology and Dialysis Unit at San Carlo Borromeo Hospital in Milan, Italy and one of the investigators of the SAVE study. "It offers a proven and important means of gaining reliable and repeatable central venous access in patients who otherwise have very limited options."
Of patients enrolled in the international SAVE registry, central venous catheters were placed according to labeled indications in 29 of 30 patients with a 100% success in achieving patency and access. Absence of adverse events in data reported for all treated patients with a single conversion in one patient (3%) with a significant vascular anomaly preventing access. All primary safety and performance endpoints were met in 29 of 30 patients. Patients presented with a variety of occlusion types, including 16 patients (30.2%) with bilateral internal jugular (BIJ) and subclavian (SC) occlusion, 17 patients (32.1%) with brachiocephalic (BC) occlusion, 12 patients with (22.6%) superior vena cava (SVC) occlusion above the azygos and 8 patients (15.1%) with total occlusion of the SVC.
The expanded enrollment in the U.S. IDE to six sites in its 30-patient SAVE-US pivotal trial will continue to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Surfacer System as demonstrated in the international SAVE registry.
"Central venous occlusion is a major clinical problem for dialysis patients," stated Dr. Eric Peden, MD, Vascular Surgeon at Houston Methodist Hospital in Houston, Texas and one of the first enrolling SAVE-US IDE investigators. "Early results of the Surfacer System are very encouraging. I look forward to supporting the study to its completion."
"These are major milestones for our company and for patients with occlusive disease. I am extremely pleased by the early positive results of the international SAVE registry and similar positive trends observed in the SAVE-US IDE study," stated Gabriele Niederauer, Ph.D., CEO and President of Bluegrass Vascular. "As we near FDA approval, we look forward to supporting our clinical efforts in the U.S. and building on the commercial momentum in Europe."

The activities of CEP are all based in the plastic industry, a relatively young sector, which grew up quickly within the last 50 years.
Materials of the third millennium, plastics are partners of every major technological challenge and progress of our time.
CEP essentially uses "thermoplastic" (polystyrene and polypropylene), renowned for being rigid and solid at room temperature, to soften as its temperature increases and to become liquid at around 250°C. Polystyrene and polypropylene do not release any toxic gas at room temperature and can be easily recycled on melting.
What is an injection mould?
An injection mould is a type of giant "waffle iron" made up of two sections which fit together. The hot and liquid plastic runs into the channels of the mould to give a shape to the product. All our moulds are designed on site in 3D and then manufactured by experts.
The injection press used consists of an open-ended screw and a frame supporting the two sections of the mould. The frame opens and closes to allow the two sections of the mould to open and close successively.
The plastic pellets are introduced into the open-ended screw and heated to 250°C. When it becomes liquid the plastic is injected under high pressure into the closed mould, filling all the gaps. The mould cools the plastic down to room temperature. It then opens up, releases the plastic product which can be removed and packed. The injection process alone produces perfectly formed products of all shapes and sizes which can weigh between a few grams (plastic tube tops for example) to several kilograms (car bumpers).
Rheology (in Greek, rhein : to flow), is the science of flowing liquid material. It is the correct structure of liquid plastic flowing properties which enables the creation of very precise plastic distribution, optimizing quality standards (finish and solidity) and manufacturing constraints.
The raw materials for the plastics we use are colourless and slightly opaque. Therefore, colouring pellets are used to give the products a colour. They are added to the original pellets just before the injection (at a ratio of around 2 to 3 percent).
CEP evolves with changing times and fashions by creating office accessories that allow people to personalize and decorate their own office.
The "Happy" colours: bring energy and a stimulating finish.
We always begin with consumer surveys (at customers homes or at the office) in order to determine new consumer needs. Our design studios invent new products, new shapes and new uses. We then create a prototype (often made from resin) of the new product, which is tested intensively to ensure it totally satisfies customer requirements and to guarantee an ergonomic design with strength and safety a priority. When the prototype is finished, we create the injection mould according to the shape of the prototype and reproduce the product in commercial quantities.

Happiness is often considered a universal goal of people. In the relatively new field of positive psychology, many studies have been conducted to understand the concept of happiness and its broader counterpart; subjective well-being, leading to a collection of theories that explain their determinants. It has been shown that although there are genetic influences on subjective well-being (SWB), people are not necessarily 'born' happy, but can and do change their levels of SWB. On the basis of these theories researchers have introduced and validated a variety of strategies to increase SWB. Although widely available in literature and validated to be useful, not many people seem to pick up on SWB strategies by implementing them into their daily lives. Comprehension is one thing; action is another. Here lies an opportunity for design, and the main design question of this graduation project is therefore: "Can strategies for subjective well-being be translated into or supported by tangible designs that inspire and persuade people to adopt these strategies into their daily lives?" To answer this question, SWB was studied in theory and practice, problems and opportunities for product design were identified, and these insights were translated into an interaction vision. The product should give hope, inspire and reassure the user that it's OK to try new things (Active experimentation.) The product should allow the user to take some time for contemplation (Reflective observation.) After a diverging and converging stage of ideation, a set of concepts was designed that explored the interaction vision. Theory from behavioral psychology was used to design their persuasive qualities. These concepts were compared to and evaluated with existing companies that produce similar products. One concept was chosen, and further developed into a final design proposal: a system named Tinytask. Tinytask is a system that offers users new experiences. Users subscribe to Tinytask and receive key chains that contain small and concrete assignments related to SWB strategies. Users commit to the assignments and use the key chains as a reminder. They add and confirm assignments to their profile page on www.tinytask.nl, where they can also add comments to reflect on their experiences. Tinytask should inspire and persuade people to break with routine and have new experiences related to SWB strategies, by making a habit of active experimentation and reflective observation. A prototype was built and was tested by fifteen participants over the course of three weeks. Various strengths, weaknesses and recommendations were found as a result of this user test. Tinytask was successful in persuading participants to break with routine. The system inspired and triggered active experimentation. Due to limited functionality of the website prototype, participants could not reflect on their experiences online. However, conversations with others – in some cases elicited by the key chains – caused participants to contemplate their actions. Concluding, Tinytask has inspired and persuaded people to adopt strategies for subjective well-being into their daily lives, which answers the design question. Although the design is still premature, it is a case study that explores the possibilities of design for subjective well-being. There are many opportunities for design within this direction. Even though there is a large gap between abstract theories and concrete products, this study has shown that theory from behavioral psychology can successfully be used to make that translation.

Ashes of Iron Ashes of Iron
Tue 20th March 2012
Coming from the steel city, I'm pretty sure that a) you can't set iron on fire, and if you could; b) it wouldn't result in ashes but with slag. Admittedly, 'Slag' isn't as good a band name, unless you put 'Turbo' in front of it which then changes the meaning entirely. Anyway, with their wah heavy guitars, big grooves and drawled vocals you'd be forgiven for not guessing Ashes of Iron are from the rainy Northeast of England instead of from some American desert town. They certainly aren't shy of their influences, belting out riffs that could have been lifted off a lost Kyuss album and with a Garcia-esque ear for a vocal melody.
Actually, back to the guitars for a minute as I was impressed with the guitar playing from the start. The music in general is basically early 90's stoner with not a huge amount to differentiate itself from bands of the time. The songs are listenable if unspectacular and the drums and bass hold everything together without doing anything that stands out, but the guitars are where Ashes of Iron excel. I've gone past the phase of my life where I regularly listen to this kind of music, but the interplay between the 2 guitarists and the playing in general elevates the music to the point where I was never bored of listening to the album.
I can see why the band have landed some enviable support slots and are well regarded on the local scene, but I hope that they can find their own sound and move away from relying on nostalgia towards the retro stoner scene for their next album. And I also hope they call that album 'Turboslag'.

The ideas you've gotten so far are also good. One thing we learned though -- many residents have trouble swallowing, etc. So the activities department of the nursing home will probably want to provide any refreshments.
I worked at a garden center/nursery. The Red Hat Society came to visit us at Christmas when we had our special displays (the best in town! and the ladies loved it!). Our garden center always provided free mulled apple cider for the clientele during the holiday season, but for this special trip other beverages and dainty Christmas cookies were also served. Check with management if they will do that. An early spring outing would be great to a place like this as the plants are already growing & many blooming. It really lifts your spirits!

A: ON DUPLICATE KEY relies on there being a PRIMARY or UNIQUE key defined. This means that the column(s) the key is defined on cannot be the same for two rows.
If you for example made an UNIQUE key on email like so:
CREATE INDEX matka_email ON matka (email)
then when you try and insert a record and the email address already exists, it will update the fields as defined in your query after ON DUPLICATE KEY
Note that Unique keys can involve several columns like so:
CREATE INDEX matka_alldata ON matka (jmeno, prijmeni, bydliste, telefon, email)

Saul's applies to build a parklet in front of deli
The Jewish deli has applied for a permit to build a parklet, which would be the third approved under a Berkeley pilot program launched last year.
by Natalie Orenstein Jan. 14, 2015, 9:00 a.m. October 4, 2022
A rendering shows the canopied parklet designed by architect David Trachtenberg.
Three parking spaces in front of Saul's Deli at 1475 Shattuck Ave. could soon be replaced by greenery and public seating.
Saul's owner Peter Levitt has applied for a permit to build a parklet, which would be the third approved under the city's Parklets Pilot Program launched in July 2013. The first parklet opened in front of the Cheese Board Collective in August. A second one was scheduled to open shortly after the Cheese Board parklet, in front of Philz Coffee and Guerilla Café. That scheme ran into some obstacles but is back on track.
Parklets are public spaces but are built and maintained privately. The three-year pilot, which was inspired by initiatives in San Francisco and Oakland, allows for the creation of 10 parklets in Berkeley's commercial districts.
The Saul's parklet was included in conceptual drawings that the North Shattuck Association presented to the city's Transportation Commission before the pilot program began. Levitt envisions a lively meeting space where people will bring take-out or coffee from any of the Gourmet Ghetto businesses and linger to chat with neighbors.
"There's no real sidewalk life here, except maybe when there's a farmers market," Levitt said. With a parklet, "it'll just be human beings and faces on the sidewalk, as opposed to just cars."
Because parklets are public, Saul's wouldn't be able to serve food there, but customers could bring a take-out sandwich or cookie outside. Levitt expects that the spillover from the Cheese Board and other local eateries will fill the seats at his parklet and encourage those customers to top off their meals with something from Saul's.
"I wish we were more European and could serve liquor or beer or wine outside," Levitt said.
The parklet, while funded and maintained by Saul's, would remain open and accessible to the public when the restaurant is closed.
Berkeley architect David Trachtenberg, who is responsible for the building that houses Saul's, has designed the parklet. His plans includes planter boxes around the perimeter, a canopy overhead, benches, round tables, and a heater.
Trachtenberg, who drew his inspiration from a recent trip to Copenhagen and Stockholm, aimed to design "a place that feels permanent, like a very good piece of street furniture, that's going to hold up over time and be a beloved place to hang out."
It would be the first parklet in Berkeley, and one of the few in the Bay Area, to occupy diagonal parking spaces.
"A lot of parklets to me don't feel comfortable because they feel too exposed to traffic, so one thing we did is create a very solid buffer, using the plants themselves," Trachtenberg said. "It's going to have a quality of being like a little room."
"The design is supposed to be such that even if the business isn't open, the parklet can still function as an open space," said North Shattuck Association Executive Director Heather Hensley.
Levitt and co-owner Karen Adelman will shell out most of the projected $45,000-$50,000 to build the parklet, but are hoping to raise $15,000 of it by selling discounted gift cards through an Indiegogo campaign. Books Inc., which is slated to open early this year in the former Black Oak Books spot next to Saul's, has contributed gift baskets to the crowdfunding campaign as well.
"Basically any place that we've experienced parklets going in, they really add an ambience to a neighborhood," said Michael Tucker, owner of Books Inc. "Certainly everybody who's a tenant around there would benefit."
The Cheese Board similarly paid for its own parklet, which also cost between $45,000 and $50,000, Hensley said. Guerilla Café and Philz are crowdfunding their slightly less expensive project. According to Hensley, most of the money has been raised and the businesses are hashing out a construction strategy, but plans to incorporate a bike corral have presented challenges.
The North Shattuck Association contributes $5,000 in seed money to each project, Hensley said.
Levitt hopes his wealthier customers and local merchants who want more public space in the neighborhood will help fund the Saul's parklet, but he is willing to invest whatever is necessary to build it.
"I'm hoping in one or two or three years, the cookie sales or sandwich or take-out sales will pay for the cost of building it, otherwise I've just made a bad business decision," he said.

During early talks leading up to the approval of the parklet pilot, residents expressed concerns about the removal of coveted parking spaces in the popular Gourmet Ghetto.
Ten new parking spaces were added when Shattuck was restriped south of Rose Street in the spring of 2013, which quelled some of the concerns, Hensley said.
"We might not have gone forward if we had not done the parking improvement project," she said.
To those who say storefront parking is necessary for elderly or disabled customers, Levitt said: "It was a crapshoot anyway, at dinner or lunch peak, that that particular person would find a parking space right in front of the restaurant."
Saul's is one of the few restaurants in the neighborhood that already has outdoor seating, which often goes unutilized. Levitt doesn't consider this a bad omen for the parklet's popularity.
The current seating is "not architecturally designed around a few people gathering," he said. "I imagine that a parklet will have that effect."
Hensley said she considers the Cheese Board parklet a wild success.
"I think people are yearning for those kinds of spaces," she said.
The city will come to a decision about the restaurant's Minor Encroachment Permit application "in the coming weeks," said city spokesman Matthai Chakko. If it is granted, Saul's will later have to apply for a construction permit.
Levitt said approval from the city won't prevent further dialogue about the project.
"To be sure, we haven't made a final decision yet," he said. "We just made a plan for one, so we can see it visually on paper and then talk about it with the community to see if anyone thinks it's a bad idea, for reasons we can't think of right now."

HTC One M9 vs. Apple iPhone 6: The Tale of the Tape
April 24, 2015 by Jeff Dunn Reads (439)
Want a smartphone that looks good and feels like it's worth the price of admission? If you dig Android, you have plenty of options, but your best bet probably still comes from HTC, this year in the form of its smooth, all-aluminum One M9. If you dig the iPhone, you have, well, the iPhone, which is still heavy on the metal and arguably as comfortable in the hand as it's ever been. (You also have the big iPhone, which is bigger and stronger but a bit unwieldy by comparison.)
HTC One M9 vs. Apple iPhone 6
The One M9 and iPhone 6 have their failings, but in terms of giving off that pure, "Wow, I'm happy to be holding this" kind of feeling, they are two of the best. So which one might be right for you? Well, to help you better understand what you're looking at, let's run down what each flagship brings to the table. Here's another tale of the tape.
As noted above, these are two phones that really accentuate professional feeling build quality and a clean, consistent aesthetic. They're both primarily made of metal, meaning that they're more solid, more sturdily put together, and cooler to the touch than any plastic counterparts.
Having aluminum on your phone doesn't change how you use it—you're still texting and browsing and gaming the same way—but because so many of today's flagships are effectively identical on the spec sheet, it's one way to feel like you're getting a better value for your dollar. It makes each device more susceptible to scratches, and it prevents both from being water-resistant, but ultimately we think the improved feel outweighs any functionality-related cons here.
All of this goes out the window if the phones aren't comfortable to hold, but thankfully neither device comes up short in that regard. The One M9 is really just an incremental deviation from last year's One M8, which itself was an incremental deviation from the original One, so it keeps the same curved back that made phones fit snugly in the hand. It also sharpens the edges of its predecessor, making that metal finish a little less slippery, and relocates its power button from the top of the phone to a more convenient position on the right edge.
The changes do make for a slightly unseemly gap where the rear coat of aluminum ends, but it hardly makes the phone look sloppy. Less acceptable is the return of the "HTC bar" across its front, which has no discernible purpose other than chewing up unnecessary screen space and making the One taller than it needs to be. Outside of that, the One M9 takes the same cues as the Ones before it. It's not the most exciting look for mobile industry diehards, but then again most people don't buy a new flagship every year. We'll take an improved version of something that doesn't need much work over an unnecessary risk that could crash and burn—for one more year, at least.
The iPhone 6, meanwhile, is a more drastic evolution. It's taller and heavier than its predecessor, the iPhone 5s, and it features more rounded edges that slide nicely into your palms. It too moves its power button from the top to the side. It's still very much an iPhone, however, and so it features a similar design language most everywhere else. Its back is totally flat, and its front includes a lone home button, which is equipped with another highly responsive fingerprint scanner. The One doesn't have one of those, but it's not exactly a crucial omission, and it might not be such a huge loss given HTC's past struggles with such tech on the One Max.
If you want something compact, neither device is outright "small," but the iPhone is the more diminutive of the two. Even after boosting the 5s' dimensions, it's still wonderfully light (at 129g) and even thinner (at 6.9mm, compared to 7.6mm) than before. Much of that comes down to the fact that it has a smaller screen, but it's still the rare high-end phone that's actually usable with one hand almost all the time.
The One M9, on the other hand, isn't what we'd call "chunky," but it's slightly heavier (157g) and thicker (9.6mm) than some of its top-tier Android competitors. We could see the One M9 being too tall (at 144.6mm) for certain smaller hands, but it's not cumbersome for its size.
Neither display can match the brilliance of the Samsung's Galaxy S6's, but they're still high-quality enough to belong on an expensive flagship. The One M9 sports a 5-inch, 1080p panel that's very much similar to that of the One M8, while the iPhone 6 carries a 4.7-inch, 750 x 1334 resolution display that's a big major leap in size from the its predecessor's 4-inch equivalent.
Both are somewhat conservative in light of the 1440p panels put out by the Galaxy S6, Nexus 6, LG G3, and others, but between the two, the One M9 is both bigger and more pixel dense. The extra 0.3 inches of space doesn't sound like much on paper, but spend a long enough time perusing YouTube or Netflix on a 5-inch screen before shrinking down again and the difference is noticeable. Media consumption is just more enjoyable on a bigger screen.
And at 441 ppi, you have less chance of finding the odd lapse in sharpness on the One; the iPhone 6's pixel density of 326 ppi—the same as the 5s—is closer to Android flagships from a couple of years ago. Even still, that difference is imperceptible to the naked eye more often than not.
Both screens are of the IPS LCD variety—technically, HTC uses a variant called Super LCD3—so you won't get quite the same level of deep colors and contrast you'd get on a good OLED display, but again, they're plenty rich in their own right. If we had to nitpick, the iPhone gets you deeper black tones and is generally calibrated better, as the One projects a slight greenish tint that can be distracting if you hone in on it. Other than that, both displays can get plenty bright and remain visible under sunlight.
These two could be more efficient in their display-to-body ratios, however. The One makes more out of its available space—its screen takes up 68.5% of its front, while the iPhone's takes up 65.8% —but we've seen thinner bezels on competing devices for some time now. The tops and bottom ones in particular could stand to be diminished on both phones.
Here's another area where the apparent discrepancy between the One and iPhone's spec sheets doesn't do their real-world experiences justice. On paper, common thinking would suggest that the One M9's Snapdragon 810 chipset—made up of four high-performance 2 GHz Cortex-A57 cores, four low-power 1.5 GHz Cortex-A53 cores, and an Adreno 430 graphics processor—and 3 GB would run circles around the iPhone's Apple A8 SoC, with its dual-core 1.4 GHz CPU, quad-core GPU, and lone GB of RAM.
In practice, the greater level of harmony between the iPhone 6's hardware and software makes it nearly as fast, and in some cases faster, than many of its Android rivals, the One M9 included. This has been the case for a while now, but because iOS is made by Apple, for Apple devices, the iPhone is consistently capable of zipping through games, apps, web pages, and the like with minimal delays or stuttering. There are very few, if any, things that both ordinary and power users won't be able to run comfortably on the iPhone 6.
HTC, meanwhile, has to throw stronger and stronger chips at its heavier Android skin each year to keep up with the Joneses, and for the most part that works out fine. The One M9, like the One M8 and One M7 before it, is undoubtedly fast and capable—especially for everyday tasks, it loads up and runs most things without much of any issue.
Push it a little bit harder, though, and you can actually notice slight drop-offs from last year's model. Those issues largely fall at the feet of Qualcomm, unfortunately: The Snapdragon 810 has some well-publicized issues with overheating, and certain functions can take longer to get going with prolonged use as a result. As we've said before, this isn't enough to really ruin most people's experience—it's likely faster than nine out of ten Android devices even with the 810's shortcomings—but it prevents you from going on auto-pilot with the One M9 the way you can with something like the Galaxy S6. The heat and subsequent delays can get in the way of whatever you're doing, and we're at a point now where the highest-end phones are moving beyond that.
As far as battery life is concerned, the One M9 and iPhone 6 are just okay, at least next to their flagship counterparts. Whereas today's top-of-the-line devices get you close to a day and a half of power with everyday use, both the One and the iPhone usually top out before the average day is done. It's not uncommon for either to die out even before then. Technically, the One's 2840 mAh pack is beefier than the iPhone's 1810 mAh unit, but in both cases you'll pay for forgetting to charge your device before bedtime. That's not the end of the world, but it's another annoyance many other flagships have overcome. The fact that neither battery is removable doesn't help either.
One phone does have the advantage in storage, however. The One M9 comes with 32 GB of space by default, which is about average for a modern flagship but still twice as much as the entry-level iPhone. More importantly, it also supports microSD cards, allowing you to add up to an extra 128 GB of room whenever you see fit. Additional iPhone models come with 64 GB and 128 GB of storage built in, but those are $100 and $200 more expensive, respectively. Simply adding microSD support would make Apple's devices a better bargain, but we wouldn't hold our breath for that happening anytime soon.
Finally, we'd be remiss if we didn't mention the One M9's pair of front-facing "BoomSound" speakers. They've spawned some excellent clones on competing devices, but listening to media without headphones is still superb on the originator of the trend. Apple's single-output speaker isn't shoddy at all, but it provides the kind of audio that's good for a smartphone. The One M9's are just solid speakers in general—full, loud, and capable of covering the low and high ends properly.
Apple iPhone 6 bottom
Telling you Android is better than iOS or vice versa is a fruitless endeavor at this point—there was a time years ago where you could argue iOS' app advantage was too overwhelming for Google to overcome, but, on phones at least, that difference has largely shrunk, and the latest Lollipop update has made Android just as pretty as it is functional. Any concerns about Android's general security or sloppiness have mostly been tidied up as well.
The lines have been clearly drawn by now: iOS is generally easier to grasp (though navigating the basics of Android is decidedly not rocket science) and usually the default platform for app developers, while Android is more flexible, customizable, and integrated with Google's various services. The latter puts its apps in a drawer, the former doesn't. They're both not Windows Phone. For people who just want to do the basics, they won't feel too different.
The thing to note here is that HTC doesn't run "Android" in the purest sense, unlike how iPhone only runs iOS the way Apple intended. Instead, it runs the latest iteration of Sense UI, an HTC-made skin plastered on top of Lollipop. This doesn't carry the same charm or smoothness as the stock OS, but actually using it isn't much different than the genuine article. It's got some nifty features of its own, too, like the ability to double-tap the display to wake it, a theme store for added visual customization, and a (totally optional) "BlinkFeed" homescreen that aggregates content from your various social media feeds and preferred news sources. iOS isn't capable of anything like that.
HTC One M9 side
Then again, iOS also doesn't have to deal with a bunch of redundant pre-loaded apps the way Sense UI does. It also runs faster and carries a more consistent, understated aesthetic. You'll never go through a four-month delay waiting for the next version of iOS when you own an iPhone, either, because Apple makes the phone and the software it runs on. You do run that risk when you buy an Android phone from a third-party manufacturer like HTC. Ultimately, it'll come down to how much you want to get out of your device.
This is the one area where we can't talk about these two as if they're equals: The iPhone 6's camera is better than the One M9's, and really it's not that close. HTC has made a few smart moves with the One M9's camera setup—ditching the gimmicky (albeit fun) Duo Camera depth sensor of the One M8, moving its 4-megapixel "UltraPixel" shooter to the front, and beefing the main unit up to 20.7-megapixels—but the actual quality of its photos hasn't improved as much as all of that suggests.
For selfies, that repurposed cam on the front holds up alright. Goofy branding aside, HTC's UltraPixel tech is designed to work well in low-light surroundings, so it plays nice with any spontaneous bar or concert shots you and your pals may want to take. Four megapixels is sharp enough for a front-facing shooter, too. It doesn't touch the 13-megapixel unit on the face of HTC's own Desire Eye, but it's at least a class above the iPhone's grainy 1.2-megapixel equivalent.
On the back is where it matters most, though, and it's mostly no contest around there. The One M9 is capable of some great shots in sunlight, and the megapixel boost makes it so sharpness is never too much of an issue. In fact, it can pack more detail at its best than the iPhone 6's 8-megapixel shooter.
Apple iPhone 6 side
That's the case with many Android cameras, though. In less-than-ideal surroundings, the One M9 has an affinity for overexposure, and sometimes leads colors to bleed into each other. Its low-light performance is especially rough, often plagued by mushy textures and a lack of brightness. It can also suffer from some shutter lag. It isn't outright bad, but it isn't flagship-level either.
The iPhone's camera, meanwhile, continues to be one of the best on the market. What it lacks in resolution it more than makes up for in consistency—in daytime, low-light, and most settings in between, it presents accurate colors, minimal noise, and precise exposure. And it's not like having just eight megapixels presents it from capturing enough detail either. It doesn't come with optical image stabilization, which is unfortunate, but the digital autofocus system that is onboard is suitable enough. All of this comes in an easy-to-comprehend UI, though the One M9 can largely claim the same.
These are two flagships, and as such they both come at flagship prices. The One M9 is available on all four of the "big" US carriers—Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, and T-Mobile—for anywhere between $600 and $700 unlocked, or $200 with a two-year contract.
The iPhone 6 is out on those same four, along with US Cellular and Boost Mobile, for $650 unlocked or the same $200 with a two-year agreement.
One last thing to note is that the iPhone has been out for close to seven months at this point, so it has a shorter period of time before the inevitable iPhone 6s makes it "dated" later this fall. The One M9, on the other hand, only arrived in early April, giving you at least another 11 months to wave it around as a shiny new toy.

17-year-old student runs for House seat in Warren County
Sam Cao, a Mason High School junior, says he is running in the upcoming primary election in Ohio.
By Andrea Finney
Published: Apr. 8, 2022 at 12:56 PM EDT
WARREN COUNTY, Ohio (WXIX) - Most high school juniors are getting ready for exams while preparing for a big senior year.
But one 11th grader is instead lobbying for votes in the upcoming primary election for an Ohio House seat.
Sam Cao is a junior at Mason High School, and he is running in the Democratic primary for a House seat in Warren County.
Cao is facing off against fellow candidate Joy Bennett in the upcoming election.
The two candidates are not quite rivals, and are rather supportive of one another.
"We're seeing this as a chance to flip the seat to one of love, compassion and unity," Cao says, "because that's what our district our so desperately needs right now."
Cao and Bennett both say that running is not about flipping their district blue but instead cycling in new people with fresh ideas who also care about communities.
Bennett says, "Having someone who's active and involved, who shows up who's visible and accessible, would be huge."
The two candidates knew one another before Cao launched his campaign. The ambitious 17-year-old attends Mason High School along with Bennett's daughter, so she said he told her he was running around February.
"We've seen so many problems happen out of this pandemic - the government's response and just the chaos that came with it - and I want to run someday. Little did I know that 'someday' would be, like, two months later," said Cao.
But Bennett knew that having a platform is just one component, so she decided to help him out.
Cao says that Bennett connected him with the National Democratic Training Committee, which offers zooms and training sessions, as well as the Butler County Democrats. She also helped him file candidate paperwork.
"There's an extensive amount of just financial reporting required," says Bennett. "File disclosures, you have to file reports for how much money's come in and where you spent it. I wanted to encourage Sam and his team and give them the tools that they need."
Cao admits that some have called him "inexperienced," but says he is still aspiring to serve while offering the wisdom he has learned in his 17 years.
"Whether you're voting for me or for someone else, you need to vote in local elections, because I know that local elections, unfortunately, do not get as much as much attention," says Cao.
If Cao wins, Mason High School has approved remote learning for his senior year.
Early voting is currently underway in Ohio. Find local candidates, precincts, and the early voting schedules on the Ohio Secretary of State website.

If you still have any questions about the Hepatitis C Virus, please refer to topics below to find answers to commonly raised questions.
What are the symptoms of acute Hepatitis C?
Should a person infected with the Hepatitis C virus be restricted from working in certain jobs or settings?
Genotype is the term used to describe the specific genetic structure of hepatitis C. There are believed to be 6 major hepatitis C genotypes (1–6), each of which can be further subdivided into subtypes.
· It is important to know your genotype because it can help your healthcare provider choose the right treatment for you. It can also affect the length of your treatment and your chance of being cured.
Why is it so important to take hepatitis C drugs correctly?
For hepatitis C drugs, these issues are especially important because, if a medicine is not taken correctly, it may not kill the virus completely. Then, because the virus has "seen" the drug, it learns how to mutate and change in ways that allow it to escape the drug and avoid getting killed off. This is called drug resistance.
Developing drug resistance is a serious issue. It means that the treatment may not work and that the patient may not respond to future treatments.
To prevent drug resistance, it is important to take any medication correctly.
What is sustained virologic response (SVR)?
Virologic response means that the hepatitis C virus is not detected in the blood during treatment. When the virus continues to be undetectable 12 weeks or more after completing treatment, a "sustained" virologic response (SVR) has been achieved.

Q: Which of the two methods to initialize the structure on the heap is better I thought of this problem when I was learning C,I thought of two ways to initialize the structure on the heap.
typedef struct Point {
    int x;
    int y;
    int z;
} Point;

Point *test1(int x, int y, int z) {
    Point *point = (Point *) malloc(sizeof(Point));
    point->x = x;
    point->y = y;
    point->z = z;
    return point;
}

Point *test2(int x, int y, int z) {
    Point *point = (Point *) malloc(sizeof(Point));
    *point = (Point) {x, y, z};
    return point;
}

The writing in test1 is what I usually use, but the writing in test2 seems to be more convenient. But will test2 create extra objects?
Although the structure here has only 3 members, will the number of members affect the conclusion?

A: Compilers will optimize both functions to identical code. See for yourself on godbolt
This is micro-optimizations. If you care about performance you first benchmark and profile then you optimize the hot spots.

A: There are other ways to do it, such as C99-style initialization:
Point *test3( int x, int y, int z ) {
    Point * const point = (Point *) malloc(sizeof(Point));
    if (point) { // Don't write through a NULL pointer!
      *point = { .x = x,
                 .y = y,
                 .z = z };
    }
    return point;
}

This has the advantage that it will still work if the members of Point are rearranged and extended.  It's also useful for writing static single assignments.
I also tend to prefer calloc() to set all the uninitialized bits of the structure to zero.  It probably makes no difference, but if it did, that's a really annoying Heisenbug to track down.
