as distinct from each other-qualities which gratify are not called by the name of Beauty," and when we say that the humour consists of an emotion awakened by an exercise of judgment, we do not pretend to determine how far the emotion has been modified by judgment, and judgment directed by emotion.
We cannot properly suppose that there is anything really wrong in external objects brought before us, and did we recognise that everything moves in a regular pre-ordained course, we should be obliged to consider 'everything right, and conclude that the error we observe is imaginary, and flows from our own false standard. We do so with regard to the so-called works of Nature, and, therefore, we never laugh at a rock or a tree—no matter how strange its form. But in the general circumstances brought before us the reign of law is not so clear, especially when they depend on the actions of men, which we feel able to pronounce judgment upon, and condemn when opposed to our ideal. In humorous representations we are actually beholding what is false; in ludicrous we think we are, though we cannot avoid at times detecting some infirmity in our own discernment. Thus, in the case of a child's puzzle, a person unable to solve it sometimes exclaims," How dull I am! I ought

to be able to do it," and people occasionally find fault with their senses, as we sometimes see them laughing when dazzled by rapidly revolving colours. Such instances may suggest to us that the fault we find really originates in our own obtuseness.
But before proceeding, we must allow that philosophers and literary men are divided in opinion as to the existence of any feeling of wrong in the ludicrous. Voltaire, tilting against the windmills which the old animosity school had set up, observes, "When I was eleven years old, I read all alone for the first time the ' Amphitryon' of Molière, and I laughed until I was on the point of falling down. Was this from hostility ? - one is not hostile when alone !" This will not seem to most of us more conclusive reasoning than that of his opponents. We seldom laugh when alone, although we often feel angry.
Dryden says "Wit is a propriety of words and thoughts adapted to the subject," and Pope gives us a similar opinion in the following words— "True wit is nature to advantage dressed,
What oft was thought, but ne'er so well expressed,
Something whose truth convinced at sight we find.
That gives us back the image to our mind."
'Taking this view of the subject, we should be inclined to think the Psalms of David
reas
especially witty, and to agree with the pretentious young lady who, being asked what she thought of Euclid, replied at a hazard that " It was the wittiest book she had ever read." But it seems probable from other passages in Pope's works that he did not here intend to give a fuil definition, but only some characteristics. Moreover, in former times, Wit was not properly distinguished from Wisdom, and the above authors probably used the word in the old sense. Young says, "Well-judging wit is a flower of wisdom," to which we may reply in the words of an old proverb, "Wit and Wisdom, like the seven stars, are seldom found together."
Brown, in his lectures on "The Human Understanding," observes that in the ludicrous we do not condemn, but admire, and he cites as an illustration the case of some friends dining at an hotel. Boniface smilingly inquires what wine they would like to drink. One says Champagne, another Claret, another Burgundy, but the last one observes knowingly that he should like that best for which he should not have to pay. Now in this there is certainly a fault, for the answer is not applicable to the question. Brown's theory is that the ludicrous arises from the contemplation of incongruities, and he finds himself somewhat puzzled when he considers that the incongruities in science

in chemistry, for instance-do not make us laugh. He is at some trouble to explain that the importance of the subject renders us serious. But had he recognised the fact that the ludicrous implies condemnation, he would have seen that we could not be amused at incongruities in science, because we have a strong conviction that they are not real but only apparent. Some very ignorant persons, as he observes, do occasionally laugh at philosophic truths. I knew a lady who laughed at being told of the great distance of the planets, and a gentleman assured me that a friend of his, a man who had such shrewdness that he rose from the lowest ranks and acquired £100,000, would never believe that the earth was round!
Jean Paul, taking the same admiration view, observes that "women laugh more than men, and the haughty Turk not at all." But are not these facts referable to comparative excitability and apathy, and also to the multiplicity and variety of female ideas compared with the dulness of the Moslem's apprehension. Jean Paul proceeds to say that the more people laugh at our joke, the better we are pleased, and that this does not seem as though the enjoyment came from a feeling of triumph. But what is really laughed at is the humour, and not the humorist, and as
a man wishes the beauty of a poem he has written to be generally aɔknowledged, so he desires to see the point of his satire appreciated by as many as possible.
A fruitful source of error in the investigation of humour arises from the difficulty in determining where it lies—of localizing it, if I may be allowed the expression. We hear a very amusing observation, and at once join heartily in the laugh, but cannot say whether we are laughing at a circumstance or a person, at a representation or a reality.
We come now to the most important authority on this side of the question. The systems which the German philosophers have propounded are more serviceable to themselves than edifying to the ordinary reader. High abstractions afford but a very vague and indefinite idea to the mind, nor can their application be fully understood but by those who have ascended the successive stages by which each philosopher has himself mounted. On the present subject, their opinions seem to have been influenced by their views on other subjects. As we have already observed, Kant and several of the leading German idealists are in favour of considering the ludicrous as a " resolution" or a "deliverance of the absolute, captive by the finite," an opinion which reminds us of

A hacking group previously linked to the Vietnamese government or working on its behalf has broken into the computers of neighbouring countries as well as a grouping of Southeast Asian nations, according to cybersecurity company Volexity.
Steven Adair, founder and CEO, said the hacking group was still active, and had compromised the website of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) over several high-profile summit meetings. ASEAN is holding another summit of regional leaders in the Philippines capital Manila this week.
Adair told Reuters he had no basis to definitely say who was behind the group but said its capabilities rivalled those of most other advanced persistent threat (APT) groups, a term often used to refer to hacker groups that are believed to have state support.
Vietnamese officials did not immediately respond to requests for comment. But Hanoi has in the past denied accusations of cyber-attacks against organizations or individuals, and said it would prosecute any cases.
Adair said it was not clear how much information the group had stolen. "We do not really have anything on the scale of data theft, but we can tell you the scale and reach of the sites they have compromised is very far reaching," he said.
Volexity said in a report that the group had compromised websites of ministries or government agencies in Laos, Cambodia and the Philippines so they would load malicious code onto the computers of targeted victims.
This code would then direct them to a Google page which asked for their permission to access their Google account. If the user agrees, the hackers then have access to their contacts and emails.
The ministries included Cambodia's ministries of foreign affairs, the environment, the civil service and social affairs, as well as its national police. In the Philippines it had compromised the websites of the armed forces and the office of the president.
Three ASEAN websites, and the websites of dozens of Vietnamese non-government groups, individuals and media, were similarly targeted. The group also infected websites belonging to several Chinese oil companies.
Officials at ASEAN's headquarters in Jakarta were not immediately available for comment.
Kirt Chanthearith, a spokesman for the Cambodian national police, said the police website was hacked about six months ago but he did not know who was responsible. "It was hacked and we lost some data", he said, without giving further details.
Officials in Thailand said they were not aware of any hacking of government or police websites.
In Manila, Allan Cabanlong, executive director of the Cybercrime Investigation and Coordination Centre, said there was no damage to government web sites in the Philippines but authorities were taking preventive measures.

Remembering World War II's doomed Dieppe Raid, 75 years on
On 8th August 2019 8th August 2019 By peterlongden
More than 6,000 men, including 5,000 Canadians, landed at Dieppe and on four adjacent beaches with the objective of destroying German coastal defences as well as some strategic infrastructure.
On August 19, 1942, more than 6,000 men landed in Normandy as Allied forces launched a raid on the French port of Dieppe. But the poorly prepared operation would fail, with deadly consequences.
Robert Boulanger, a teenager from the province of Quebec, was one of those young soldiers. He had just turned 18. On the morning of August 10, he penned a few words to his parents. His letter is on display at the memorial: "We're being told that we're very near the French coast. I believe it because we can hear the cannonade and the explosions, even the shells whistling over our heads. Finally I realise that we're no longer in drill. An assault boat directly next to ours has just been hit and has gone under with all those who were onboard. We didn't have time to see much because in the space of one or two minutes, there was nothing left. Oh my God, protect yourselves from such a fate!"
Those were Boulanger's last words. A bullet went right through his forehead. He hadn't even set foot on the beach. In the space of just a few hours, 1,000 men lost their lives while 3,000 were captured and held prisoner until the end of the war. The operation was a total failure.
With the 75th Anniversary of this raid coming up on August 19th, Seahaven fm will be doing their piece to make sure these young lives are still remembered.

Q: how to work with diagonals of a matrix in matlab without using loops? Lets say I have a matrix and I want to change it's elements.
How can I tell matlab to go the element in the (i,j) place? for
 example:
matrix(i;j) ---> if i=j (then do something for example matrix(i;j)^2
                 else ( do something else)
matrix=rand(n)
  if (i=j)
   matrix(i,j)=(matrix(i.j))^
  else matrix(i,j)=matrix(i,j)*3
  end

now how can I reach the matrix's diagonals? I am new to matlab and I didn't find an answer yet :\
I am looking for a hint or something but I can't use loops!
hey i got the answer but lets say i also want the opposite diagonal to be in square how can i do this ?? plz any help
> if a=1 2 3
>      4 5 6
>      7 8 9 i want a at the end to be a= 1  6  9
>                              12 25 18
>                              49 24 81

A: It is obvious that you do not know the basics of MATLAB. Here I will try to explain what you need a little bit, but I encourage you to read the basic documentations of programming MATLAB.
If your matrix is called A then each element can be accessed through the indices (number of row and column) of that element, for instance A(2,3) gives you the element on the second row and third column.
Also diag(A) gives all the diagonal elements of A as a vector.
What you have mentioned can be done in different ways, some of which are more efficient than the others but might be more difficult for a beginner. One of the simplest methods is using two for-loops. The first loop moves on the rows of the matrix while the second moves on the column. The goal is to check all the elements one by one.
Here, we use two variables ii and jj to count for matrix rows and columns.
ii moves on the rows, so it has to count from 1 to the number of rows your matrix has. The same is done for columns using variable jj. Moreover, to find the number of rows and columns of the matrix we use function size.
Inside the two for-loops we check if the element is a on the main diagonal with ii==jj and if its not then you do something else to that elements.
for ii=1:size(A,1)
    for jj=1:size(A,2)
        if ii==jj
            A(ii,jj) = A(ii,jj)^2;
        else
            A(ii,jj) = A(ii,jj)*3;
        end
    end
end

A way more efficient solution is as follows:
diag(diag(A)).^2 + (tril(A,-1)+triu(A,1))*3

The firs part calculates a diagonal matrix with the elements on the main diagonal of A. The second part gets the upper and lower triangular parts of matrix.
Example:
A = [1 2 3 4;
    1 2 3 4;
    4 3 2 1;
    4 3 2 1];

>> diag(diag(A))

ans =

     1     0     0     0
     0     2     0     0
     0     0     2     0
     0     0     0     1

>> (tril(A,-1)+triu(A,1))

ans =

     0     2     3     4
     1     0     3     4
     4     3     0     1
     4     3     2     0

Where
diag(diag(A)) + (tril(A,-1)+triu(A,1)) equals to A

The stage is (almost) set!
What an awesome start to the competition here in Dublin.
At barista orientation today the World Coffee Events body announced that moving forward the World Barista Championship will include a Team Event by grouping together Barista Champions from all across the globe.
Effectively nothing changes for the individual competitor but it is a great way to encourage camaraderie between countries and it gives every barista another chance to win!
The prize is definitely worth playing for, an all expense trip for each member of the team to the Barista All Stars event in Seoul in November.

Indie Spirit Awards nominees announced
Wednesday November 28th 2007
Hollywood launched its award season Tuesday with the Independent Spirit Awards for low-budget and art-house movies, nominating films ranging from a look at the life of singer Bob Dylan to the murder of an American journalist.
Director Julian Schnabel's drama, "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly," about a paralyzed French journalist who dictates a book by blinking his eye, and Jason Reitman's comedy "Juno," which tells of a young woman facing an unplanned pregnancy, earned nominations for best movie and best director.
Also taking best movie and director nominations were Todd Haynes' "I'm Not There," which attempts to capture the life and music of Dylan, as well as director Gus Van Sant's teenage skateboard drama, "Paranoid Park."
The final nominee in the best film category was "A Mighty Heart," about the search for slain Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl, and the fifth nominee among directors was Tamara Jenkins for drama "The Savages," which tells of two adult siblings who move their father to a nursing home.

U.S. lamb has officially regained access to Japan, a growing market that set a new value record of $168 million for lamb imports in 2017, up 26 percent from 2016. While a majority of those lamb imports came from Australia and New Zealand, U.S. Meat Export Federation (USMEF) Japan Director Takemichi Yamashoji says U.S. lamb's quality and flavor will win over many Japanese consumers who in the past were very receptive to grain-fed lamb. Yamashoji adds that USMEF's early efforts in Japan will focus on promoting U.S. lamb through tastings and educational programs for chefs and other foodservice professionals at high-end hotels and restaurants, which are expected to be the biggest users of U.S. lamb.
Ralph Loos: U.S. lamb recently regained access to Japan, already the leading value market for U.S. beef and pork. In this U.S. Meat Export Federation report, Takemichi Yamashoji, USMEF director in Japan, explains that while the market is relatively small, U.S. lamb's quality is expected to win over many Japanese consumers.
Takemichi Yamashoji: The Japanese lamb market is about 15,000 metric tons per year, so compared to pork and beef, the lamb market is relatively small. Also, the lamb market in Japan is dominated by Australia and New Zealand, mostly Australia. So I think U.S. lamb will make a bigger lamb market in Japan. Also, U.S. lamb is totally different in the quality. U.S. lamb is very high quality, so I think our target in Japan is high-end hotel and high-end foodservice, that is our main target.
Ralph Loos: The first step to re-grow what was once a solid market will be sharing information on the quality attributes of U.S. lamb, Yamashoji explained.
Takemichi Yamashoji: We are planning on having seminars and tasting sessions, inviting U.S. lamb packers and also Japanese users, mainly high-end chefs. The point is to provide information about U.S. lamb. The reason is that for so many years there was no U.S. lamb in the market. There is very limited information about it.

Future Thinking
Signature Style.
Peroni Nastro Azzurro began its journey in 1963. Brewed in honour of the SS Rex, which won the 'Nastro Azzurro' (Blue Riband) for the fastest passenger liner crossing of the Atlantic Ocean in 1933, it is a brand known for impeccable style as well as its premium quality.
Since arriving on these shores, Peroni has set the benchmark for the sector, successfully reinventing its inspirational heritage for a modern audience. To ensure its status as an icon was secure, the brand sought to reinvigorate its secondary packaging as it was inconsistent with the forward-thinking design values of the brand.
Working with the UK business, we supported Peroni in getting ahead of the curve by identifying opportunities for packaging innovation. The result was a unique secondary packaging solution for the bottled 4-pack that reflected Peroni's place in the market as a symbol of Italian excellence and superior craftsmanship.
The fully enclosed pack structure features a dynamic 'asymmetrically' curved base, inspired by the flowing lines of the blue ribbon and embodying classic Italian design styling. An integrated carry handle allows consumers a view of the product within whilst a perforated opening removes the whole of the pack top, so bottles can be easily accessed straight from the fridge.
Mirroring the brand's signature style with a profile that is distinctly Peroni, the new pack restored this Italian classic to rightful pride of place on shelf.

Channel 4 released the first trailer for Derry Girls season 2 today, with the teens returning for more 90s mischief.
The second season of Lisa McGee's knockout sitcom will air on Channel 4 in the coming months and this first trailer suggests the five friends are wacky and rebellious as before.
After its roaring reception in January 2018, Derry Girls became an instant classic. Channel 4 re-commissioned it for another series after one episode, which confirmed it as a hit.
There is no confirmed air date yet.


Description: After walking through the park & Ambleside centre (food re-supply possible?) we head E, up beside Stock Ghyll (& look at Stock Ghyll Force). After crossing the Ghyll (twice) we'll end up heading up Wansfell Pike, before turning NE'ish to follow the wall along the ridge. Once we reach the A592, we turn right & do about 450m on the road, & then left, to carry on up to St. Raven's Edge. We then descend down to Kirkstone Pass (liquid break time?). Next we climb again to reach the top of Red Screes. The path then leads SW, past a tarn, back down the ridge towards Ambleside. Once we reach the struggle, we only follow the road for about 200m, before turning left towards Roundhill Farm. Just before the farm we turn right through a kissing gate, then go down the field to Low Grove. We then cross Stock Ghyll again to reach Stock Ghyll Lane (again) and down to Ambleside.

Heineken share prices have dropped after the Dutch family brewer reported a 4.9% slowdown in global growth over the first six months of 2016 compared to last year.
The world's third largest brewery announced this week that growth in beer volume in Asia Pacific at 16%, Europe at 2.4% and the Americas at 1.6% offset a marked 5.9% drop in growth in Africa, the Middle East, and Eastern Europe.
The timing of Easter and a strong Asian New Year boosted first quarter results. However, beer volume in the second quarter declined "due to tougher comparatives and a challenging economic backdrop," the company said.
The market reacted negatively to the half-year results, with a 3.6% fall in share price from $84.31 on 29 July to $81.25 by the end of 1 August, the day of the half-year announcement.
Share price fell further to a low of $79.40 today, a drop of 5.8% since 29 July.
But the second quarter was not all doom and gloom for the brewing family business, thanks to cider volume increasing double digits in the United Kingdom, "the home base of cider", in addition to strong growth in Europe, Ireland, Romania, the Czech Republic, and the Americas.
While Africa Middle East and Eastern Europe continued to be "challenging", performance was strong in some key developing markets such as Vietnam and Mexico," van Boxmeer said.
Van Boxmeer was credited by Fortune for spending more than $28 billion on 49 acquisitions, expanding Heineken's operations from 39 countries in 2002 to 71 today.
The four generations actively involved in Heineken Holding have a 45.8% share in their 143-year-old business. The Amsterdam headquartered company employs more than 73,000 staff, and was ranked 459th on the 2016 Fortune Global 500 with 2015 revenues of €20.5 million ($22.8 million), up 6.5% on 2014.
During the second quarter, Heineken announced a multi-year global partnershipwith Formula 1, starting in September this year with the newly renamed Formula 1 Gran Premio Heineken d'Italia in Monza.

SUT-OSIG Members Make Presentations at MoU Signing - Society for Underwater Technology in the U.S.
Houston, TX- The Society for Underwater Technology's Offshore Site Investigation and Geotechnics (SUT-OSIG) had three committee members present technical talks at the celebration of the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between Texas A&M University and the Norwegian Geotechnical Institute (NGI).

Mail-in ballot worries: Letters

Re: "So You Voted: Now What?" (Oct. 18):
The reporter wrote that California only sent ballots to active voters. That cannot possibly be accurate as many Californians in the past few weeks have indicated that they have received ballots for previous owners of their home dating back more than 10 years. That combination of voter name and address surely cannot be "active."
The writer neglected to mention that it has been estimated that 1.5 million inactive voters are on the rolls in California, and that Los Angeles County was sued successfully in 2017 for its lack of cleanup of its voter rolls in over 20 years. The county settled in 2019 and the inactive voters (if voter fails to vote in 2020 and in 2022) will finally be removed, but not until after the federal election in 2022. As part of the settlement, Secretary of State Padilla agreed to notify each California county that they are also obliged to remove inactive voters from their rolls. But since the rolls will not be cleaned until after the 2022 federal election, this means many extra ballots will be circulated and vulnerable to misuse.

Biden's dealings on the shady Burisma front
Re "What's in a name? Sometimes, lots" (Oct. 18):
Good column, Doug, but you left out the most important point, if true. However, you did say "these stories have floated around for years, with Joe Biden brushing them off with his impossible to believe, 'I have never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings.'"
The point you didn't mention is the billion-dollar payment Joe Biden paid to Burisma in U.S. government dollars (my tax money) via Obama to fire the prosecutor who was investigating Burisma's crooked dealings as this would have cut the dollars being paid to the Bidens. U.S. dollars, my tax money, being paid to a foreign country (quid pro quo?) — if that is all true, that is.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is also a mother of a 29-year-old Andhra youth!
Speed News Desk | Updated on: 4 January 2018, 16:04 IST
(twitter)
There are fans of many Bollywood stars who worship them throughout the country such that the fans claim to save their Gods (celebrities) if ever they are in any trouble but sometimes in expressing their love for their favourite star, they go too extreme in their approach such that they manage to make place in the headlines and yet again something similar has happened.
The recent example of the same incident is that of a 28-year old youth from Andhra Pradesh named Sangeeth Kumar, who has during a media interaction told that Bollywood actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is his mother and he was born to her with the help of IVF.
As per reports, this bizzare man further told that he was born to the actress six years before when she had went to win the crown of the Miss World in the year 1994. As per now, Aishwarya is only a mother of one daughter named Aaradhya Bachchan with Abhishek Bachchan and has not spoken on the matter yet.
The man added that his first two years of his life was spent with his grandparents, obviously Aishwarya Rai's parents, Brinda Krishnaraj Rai and Krishnaraj Rai. Sangeeth also adds Rai after his first and middle name but does not have any official documents to prove the same to everyone.
He said, "I was born to her by IVF in London in 1988. I was brought up in Chodavaram from age three to 27. I was with my grandmother Brinda Krishnaraj Rai's family at the age of one and two in Mumbai. My grandfather Krishnaraj Rai died in April 2017 (March), and my uncle's name in Aditya Rai."
He wishes to have her mother back and wants her number so that he can talk to her. His statement further read as, "My mother got married in 2007 with Abhishekh Bachchan and she is separated, living alone. I want my mom to come and live with me in Mangaluru. It's already 27 years since I separated from my family, I miss her a lot. I don't want to go to Vishakapatnam, at least I want my mother's number so that I'll be free."
This is truly hard to believe!

Carretera Presidente Eduardo Frei Montalva, más conocida como Carretera del Cobre o Carretera El Cobre (H-25), es una importante vía que permite la conexión entre Rancagua y los yacimientos cupríferos de El Teniente.

Historia
Desde 1904, Sewell fue un poblado minero de propiedad de la Braden Copper Company, que se conectaba con la ciudad de Rancagua por medio de un ferrocarril creado en 1911. En 1967 se realizó la llamada "Operación Valle", que consistió en el traslado de las familias mineras de Sewell, Colón y Caletones a vivir a Rancagua.

En ese momento, se pensó en la construcción de una carretera que conectara los yacimientos de El Teniente y el resto de los establecimientos mineros con Rancagua, reemplazando así el ferrocarril. Esto se concretó en 1969, con la construcción de la Carretera del Cobre, que permitió un traslado más expedito de los mineros a Rancagua.

Estructura vial

Rancagua

La Carretera del Cobre empieza en Rancagua, y hasta el límite urbano presenta doble vía por ambas calzadas. Es fundamental para la conexión del sector oriente (barrios residenciales) y el centro de la ciudad, por lo que siempre mantiene un alto flujo vehicular. La Carretera es la continuación del eje formado por la Avenida Millán, que es la calle que bordea el plano fundacional por el sur.

En el kilómetro 0 hay una rotonda donde se encuentra el Monumento a Eduardo Frei Montalva, presidente en cuyo período se construyó esta vía. Hacia el suroeste de esa plazuela se ubica el Estadio El Teniente. La carretera continúa hacia el este, pasando por debajo de la ex ruta 5 (ya construido el By-Pass Rancagua).

Luego se observa hacia la orilla sur un importante área comercial, consistente en supermercados, servicios financieros y bancarios, gasolineras, y servicios de salud privados, como la Clínica Isamédica y el Hospital Clínico FUSAT (Fundación de Salud El Teniente).

La doble vía termina en el límite urbano de la ciudad, continuando con una vía por calzada. En los alrededores existen terrenos cultivables y exclusivas áreas residenciales. En el kilómetro 4 está ubicado el centro comercial Boulevard Nogales, en el cual se encuentra una serie de locales comerciales, como el Gimnasio Energy y el club de pádel más grande de la VI Región: Padel Zone Machalí, y un poco más al oriente el campus de la Universidad de Aconcagua Sede Rancagua y el Colegio Coya. Aproximadamente en el km7 se encuentra el último cruce regulado con semáforo, en la intersección con la Avenida Escribá de Balaguer, camino que hacia el sur conduce al sector Nogales y El Sauzal, y hacia el norte hacia la avenida San Juan.

Machalí

Después de cruzar el límite comunal de Rancagua, la ruta llega hasta las afueras de Machalí, donde se inicia el tramo en pendiente. En el sector denominado "Tierras Blancas" se encuentra el Monumento a la Familia Minera, creada por el artista Germán Ruz Baeza en 2000, que tiene 10 m de altura, 25 m de ancho y pesa 7 toneladas.

Debido al peso de los camiones de carga y pasajeros que transitan por esta vía, en la carretera existen una serie de "rampas de escape", instalaciones que ayudan a disminuir las consecuencias de un accidente de tránsito en zonas de descenso. También hay varias "playas de estacionamiento", donde los autos pueden detenerse a observar el Valle de Rancagua en su plenitud. En uno de ellos hay una escultura de un cóndor, llamada Vultur, El espíritu de los Andes realizada por el artista Karlos Vargas e inaugurada en 2009.

El camino llega hasta un puesto de control de CODELCO denominado Maitenes, que permite el acceso a Caletones, Sewell, la mina El Teniente y el centro de esquí Chapa Verde. Hay un camino alternativo que se dirige a Coya. Desde el camino a Coya hay una desviación a la Carretera del Ácido, que bordea del Río Cachapoal, y que permite el acceso a las Termas de Cauquenes. Este camino llega a las afueras de Gultro (comuna de Olivar), en la Autopista del Maipo.

Latest Senators and Rangers Rumors – March 14, 2018
by Lyle Richardson | Mar 14, 2018 | Rumors | 29 comments
Updates on Bobby Ryan and Erik Karlsson plus the latest Rangers speculation in your NHL rumor mill.
Ottawa Senators winger Bobby Ryan thought he and teammate Erik Karlsson would be dealt before the recent NHL trade deadline (Photo via NHL Images).
DAYS NUMBERED FOR RYAN & KARLSSON IN OTTAWA?
OTTAWA SUN: Don Brennan reports Senators winger Bobby Ryan though he and teammate Erik Karlsson were on the way out of Ottawa the day before the Feb. 26 trade deadline. He'd heard there was a deal in place that would send the pair to a Western Conference club but somebody backed out at the last minute.
Brennan speculates trade conversations involving the duo will likely continue in the offseason. "The Senators will surely entertain trade talks for Karlsson at the draft, and in order to get the captain, they'll ask that Ryan is included in the package."
The Sens want to shed the remaining four years (at $7.25-million annually) of Ryan's contract. If a trade isn't possible, Brennan believes the Senators will buy him out.
SPECTOR'S NOTE: That Western Conference club is believed to be the Vegas Golden Knights. There's speculation they could circle back to their interest in Karlsson. As the Senators were trying to package Ryan in the Karlsson deal, the Golden Knights was probably on both their 10-team trade lists.
The buyout period runs from June 15 – 30. Buying out Ryan will be expensive. As per Cap Friendly, it'll count as over $3.58-million annually from 2018-19 to 2020-21. After that, it'll drop to over $1.83-million from 2022-23 to 2025-26.
The Senators will obviously try to trade Ryan first. I can see them agreeing to pick up part of his cap hit to get a deal done. Better that over four years than to have a Ryan buyout on the books for eight years.
SPECULATION OVER RANGERS POSSIBLE OFFSEASON MOVES
THE ATHLETIC: In a recent mailbag segment, Rick Carpiniello was asked who were the untouchables on the New York Rangers' roster. He believes no one is, not even Henrik Lundqvist, "though he would be virtually impossible to move."
Asked about the chances of the Rangers trading veteran winger Mats Zuccarello, Kevin Hayes " or some draft picks" for restricted free agents such as Winnipeg's Jacob Trouba and Josh Morrissey or Carolina's Noah Hanifin, Carpiniello doubted those RFAs will be available. He pointed out Zuccarello was offered around at the trade deadline but no one made a big push to get him. Hayes is also a restricted free agent.
Carpiniello was also asked about the odds of Rick Nash returning to the Rangers, which he placed at 4-1 or 5-1. Nash will have to accept a pay cut and isn't an elite scorer anymore, but he's still a top player and loves New York. He also believes there's a "really good chance" Ilya Kovalchuk signs with the Rangers, as they'll need a veteran scorer to bridge the gap from rebuilding to contention. He doesn't see New York Islanders center John Tavares signing with a rebuilding club if he tests the free-agent market this summer.
Asked about the possibility of Mika Zibanejad fetching a first-line winger, Carpiniello doesn't see that happening. "There's no way he's bringing back a first-line winger by himself." He thinks trading Zuccarello to the Edmonton Oilers is "feasible" but isn't sure what they'll give up in return.
As for the possibility of buying out Marc Staal's contract, he thinks they might prefer moving him via trade provided they eat some salary. "That would be better for the organization than just eating the dead cap-space because they could probably get an asset in return"
SPECTOR'S NOTE: I agree with Carpinello that Trouba, Morrissey or Hanifin probably won't be available this summer. He also made a good point about Zuccarello, though that might change this summer as he'll only have a year left on his contract. If the Rangers sign Kovalchuk, Nash might have to find somewhere else to play. I concur with his take on Staal.
If Tavares decides to become a UFA, he'll likely want to join a Stanley Cup contender, or one that's close to becoming one. Injuries have hampered Zibanejad over the last two seasons, plus he's carrying a $5.35-million annual cap hit through 2021-22. That could prove difficult to deal.

It might be hard for the Rangers to make a trade. I think they have already saturated the Tampa lineup. ;<)
ihatecrosby	on March 14, 2018 at 11:13 am
they have TB with Mac , Miller, Girardi, Stralman and Callahan
they have BOS with Nash and Holden
They have Pitts with Hagelin by way of ANA
some Ranger will win the cup this year LOL
Shame Zib stopped shooting the damn puck. He was more effective as a shooter than puck distributer. I noticed AV put Zucc on his line to help him and Zib still looks to defer and pass to Kreider. Zib needs to get back to shooting. He does not have the 1-on-1 bag of tricks to dominate so I only see him as a #2 C….. and his huge inconsistency issues are creeping back into his game again.
I say keep Zucc till the trade deadline unless a mind blowing offer comes along. NYR will need wingers who can go into corners and win pucks, distribute the puck to other teammates….especially when they will have more young guy coming onto the roster.
Partner Staal with Shatts for next season and see how they build chemistry. Staal is more comfortable on the left side while Shatts is clearly only comfortable on the right side.
That leaves only to find a right hand RD guy who can log big minutes with Skjei on the top pair and then let Gilmour/Pionk be the bottom pairing.
I sincerely hope the NYR do not resign Nash nor Kovy. IF Rangers need spring to bridge the gap…why trade ZUCC then? DOES NOT COMPUTE!. Zucc has more points than Nash. Kovy will want $5M plus to play on at least a 3 yr deal….not needed and no thank you.
Better off keeping Zucc for the year and use the cap space toward a true #1C, or to cover some of the cost to ship out Brendan Smith, or towards Karlsson or Doughty the following summer. If those 2 guys want to play under the lights on Broadway.
Striker	on March 14, 2018 at 12:13 pm
Giradri & Stralman signed as UFA's, although yes both former NYR players.
I see Zibby & Hayes staying in NYR. I think they with Namestnikov will be NYR's top 3 C's until a prospect is ready to assume the role. Let's hope Zibby doesn't get derailed again next season by injury. At 397 NHL regular season games Zibby's breakthrough should come next season in my formula. Injury's have derailed him beating the curve 2 years in a row.
Daoloth	on March 14, 2018 at 5:13 pm
Tampa has managed to assemble the most experienced team for losing the SCF :). I mean they will know just how to get beat down when or if they make it that far ;). Though in net they are weaker than when Bishop was healthy there… I heard they called up Klein to get him out of retirement… Then all they would need is Staal to complete the Rangers Defense that got beat down by Kings in 2014 ;). I guess they had Yandle there or somebody else to fill out the 6 of them :).
Funny Devils seem to collect former Ducks having like Vatanen, Maroon, Palmieri or some others sprinkled in maybe ;). There a former Ranger on nearly ever team so one should be in SCF or win it ;).
Nyr4life	on March 14, 2018 at 11:46 pm
Retarded. Period!
Jeff Noel	on March 14, 2018 at 11:31 am
Haha. Melnyck after 1 or 2 seasons is back to his penny pinching ways and aome think Ryan will be bought out. He will be moved. Prolly cheaper to retain salary.
They never really went away. Moving Zibby for Brassard was all about money. The weird 1 was signing Ryan, that was shockingly out of character.
A desperate attempt to save face with alfredsson's departure. Yet Spezza made good money so uts not like they won't spend on a player. They just have to make sure it's the right on in the right position.
Drew	on March 14, 2018 at 11:32 am
I disagree that Lundqvist is virtually impossible to trade. How many teams are searching for a true experienced number 1.If the rangers are truly in a rebuild they should trade him and hold onto a few million to help facilitate the move. Now I know Henrik loves the big apple and wants to stay there but if he truly desires a Stanley cup he is going to have to move on in order to do so. By the time they are in position to challenge again he will be retired. And if they are rebuilding they need to finish in the bottom of the standings in order to get top notch prospects, but with Henrik in goal that just might not be possible. Even though he has not said publicly, I'm sure Henrik is somewhat disappointed in the teams new direction.
DoubleMinor	on March 14, 2018 at 11:49 am
Agreed Drew. Lundqvist is still among the most talented goalies in the world, and would probably bring a solid return from a team who is on the verge of competing but needs goaltending…maybe the team that gave up 5 third period goals to Boston last night?
chrisms	on March 14, 2018 at 1:24 pm
agree and disagree… he could be moved sure. he wont fetch a significant return unless a lot of money is held. a couple of secondary pieces but nothing significant
Drew his cap hit is an insane 8.5M which you can't win having a goalie over 6M… There been a few who lost the SCF who made more like Henrik and Pekke Rinne ;). I think Rangers would have to eat half the cap hit to trade him to anybody. Though he only has 3 years left so maybe they will have Seattle take him in expansion draft or trade him there. Since an expansion team might need a cap hit to make the minimum ceiling or like Islanders had Tim Thomas who never played for that purpose.
His final year its only like 4.5M so they could buy that out if needed. I think Rangers will ride him this season then trade him… Unless the bounce back fast like Devils, Flyers, Avalanche to compete for playoff spot etc. Price would be harder to trade than Henrik given his contract/term. Problem for Rangers is they are not likely to get a nice return for a goalie. Its hard to get value when trading goalies in the NHL. Think of Ben Bishop for Cory Conacher to give an idea :). Not that Kings got much more for him then what they traded to get him shipping him to Dallas :).
Erik Karlsson is not going to the rangers. First if the team is truly in a rebuild or if only a retool then it makes no sense to move the young players and draft picks its going to take to land him. He could sign on July 1 next year but why would he want to go to a club that wont have the horses to compete for the cup, he wont be able to do it alone.
Buying out players with more than 2 years remaining is insane. Buying out Ryan would cost Ott 2.5 mil per season for 8 years. That's if the 2.5 signing bonus factors into the equation or if Ott is only on the hook for 2/3rd's of the 5.5 in actual salary.
Van	on March 14, 2018 at 12:30 pm
Agreed. Buying out Ryan with that much term makes no sense, especially when factoring in the $2M per year in signing bonuses. Ottawa would only save ~$7.5M over the remainding 4 years of the deal and be stuck with dead cap space for 8 years.
If Ottawa ate $2.25-$2.75M/year on the remainder of Ryan's deal, I think they could move him. He is a decent second line player as shown in the playoffs last year and that is worth $4.5-$5M/year over the next four years. Trying to attach him to a potential Karlsson trade only diminishes a potential return on Karlsson. I still think Ottawa could sign Karlsson long term in the summer and hope that is what they do. It is better to spend money on a superstar than on 2nd to 3rd line players.
Only an idiot like Dean Lombardi would buy out Bobby Ryan… Though he would nix a trade w/ Winnipeg then claim the guy was on drugs or violated contract… Try to void it only to disgrace himself, Kings, not to mention kill their cap for the next decade or so. Then again Mike Milbury might buy him out considering his Yashin deal, trading Luongo, not to mention the 20 years or so he signed Dipietro for ;).
KevJam	on March 14, 2018 at 12:40 pm
What about Lundqvist to the Hurricanes? Lundqvist would have to approve the trade, a good climate and low pressure market with a good young team that will compete for a cup is enticing. Also the Hurricanes have some good young prospects for a rebuilding team. Not to mention Lundqvist would create interest in a marketplace that lacks just that.
Van	on March 14, 2018 at 2:54 pm
Assuming Lundqvist waives his NMC to go to Carolina (big if), Lundqvist to Carolina makes a lot of sense. If the Ranges ate ~$2M/year on the contract and took back Darling who has the same remaining term on his contract, the Rangers may be able to get something else of value in return (one of Carolina's young defenseman like Fleury or Bean). The Rangers have a few promising young goalies who could tandem with Darling for a few years. I'm interested to see what Rangers fans think.
ihatecrosby	on March 14, 2018 at 5:54 pm
I do not see how eating $2m AND taking Darling makes sense unless Hanafin or Slavin are coming back. That would be equivalent to paying Darling near what Hank makes…. Darling has not even performed up to his current contract. IF Hank goes for Darling plus a stud young RD from CAR….I would say Hank goes without salary retention BC they are taking Darling and his horrendous contract for his performance.
just IMO
Cannot see Hank going for just Bean of Fluery though without more being attached of value besides Darling.
Hank is still that good.
chaas	on March 15, 2018 at 1:19 am
Supposing Lundqvist moves to Carolina. Before talking salary retention, if the return includes Darling, there needs to be at least two more pieces to that trade: a 3-4-5 d-man and a 2nd round pick. If significant salary is retained, that draft pick becomes a first and the d-man better be Noah Hanifin. Also, I'd probably buy into a 5-10 game package and visit Raleigh more often.
Kev that would be a great trade for Rangers if they could pry any of the young right shot D-men they have… They would probably have to take about half his contract for the cap hit though. I'm not sure its low pressure since that team has been to the SCF multiple times while winning it too :). So its not as bad as NY or CAnada for the media coverage. Yet the team needs to win there or do well to attract the fans… If they were competing well they could be another Nashville who started out really rocky. Predators look like they stole the ugly Kings uniforms w/ that yellow mustard crap :). He could probably still live where he does commuting to Carolina ;).
I am actually shocked. I thought all of this Karlsson trade rumours where just media driven. Not once did I think the the Sens were serious about moving him. Penny pinchers or not, you can't trade a guy Karlssons calibur. First off when you are trading the better player you never win the trade plus it sends a bad message to your fan base. Especially when you are struggling to sell out your building in the first place.
Completely agree. I go to 7-10 Sens games as year and nearly every fan I've talked with are against trading Karlsson. If Karlsson was dumped with Ryan, the backlash would be even worse because it would only be about dollars. You can't just take draft picks back for someone like Karlsson.
Ottawa's cap situation isn't bad at all even including extensions for Karlsson, Stone and Duchene (combined should be $24M-$26M/year). They have no cap issues next year, so buying out Ryan or Gaborik makes zero sense until next summer (2018/2019). Even then, they could eat part of the contracts and only have dead space for 2-3 years vs. 4-6 years.
Ottawa needs to be careful what they pay Ceci on his next deal and I wouldn't go more than 4 years @ $4M/year. Reduce the term to 3 years if he wants more. Ceci could be the next Cowen contract if they go too long. Assuming he's fully healthy after the hamstring injury, I would extend Wideman for a one or two year show me contract at $1.5M-$2M and then their right defence is looked after.
Van least it looks like Gaborik was an upgrade over Dion ;). You can watch him make a real run at a decent season if given a chance there ;). I don't see any reason for Senators to keep a fading expensive player like King Karl. His cap hit will probably be 10-13M creating cap problems for any team who has him. They need to find a way to ship out Bobby Ryan even if they eat up half his contract. They looked better as a team since getting rid of Dion… Next year they will probably try to package Duche in some sorta trade… Though I doubt they will get a return as good as Avalanche did. SAd their window for winning a Cup got slammed shut when they choked it away against Penguins… WAsn't King Karl hurt or dealing w/ some injury then? His health is declining a bit which is another reason to cut ties. Maybe they can rob Vegas getting a 1st/2nd/3rd rounder like the TAtar debacle… Florida has a 3rd round pick who is better than him Dadanov who already has 22 goals w/ 55 points in 59 games.
Remember Branch Ricky told Ralph Kiner who had his 50 homer or so season… We can finish last without you :)…
Only way eating any of Ryan's contract becomes worth it if a solid bunch of draft picks comes their way. No reason to pay $3m in cap space for another player, on top of that player's salary/cap, at this point in their rebuild.
if they can convince someone to send a low rd first or high 2nd & another type of pick for eating $2.5-$3m then I can see it working well for them.
Daoloth: How is Karlsson fading? He will likely lead defensemen in points again this year despite missing training camp and not being 100% most of the year. He is only 3 points behind Klingberg in 6 less games played. His plus minus is terrible, largely from the team sucking and the large number of empty net goals Ottawa's allowed, but he should be one of the best defensemen in the league well into his 30's.
ihatecrosby: Agreed on the Ryan return. If Ottawa eats >$2M on Ryan's contract, they should get something of value. Second line wingers at $4.5-$5M/year is decent value.
Van you can tell the future? I'm pretty sure King Karl wont have the most points for a D-man this year nor will he have the most goals. Last year he had 71 points in 77 games w/ a +10… Prior to that he had 82 points in 82 games w/ 1 less goal having 16… He was a -2, prior to that he was a +7 w/ 66 points in 82 games though having 21 goals… 1 more goal then he had the year prior w/ -15 and 54 points. This year he has 54 points w/ 8 goals nursing a stellar -26… His worst rating since the -30 he had in his second year in NHL…
So you are asking how a guy who is set for his 3rd lowest goal total… Along w/ his 2nd worst or worst – rating is declining? Before getting 20 points in the last 18 meaningless games he was doing much worse. He nearly has half his goal total in that span w/ 3 of them. His shooting percentage is currently .047 his lowest total since his rookie season of .045. His usual range is .065 to .078… That is closer to half his usual shooting percentage even w/ nothing to play for.
His next contract he will just be getting older into the 30-35 range… There many D-men who decline vastly in their 30's… While others don't hit their prime until 28-30. King Karl has hit his apex he will only decline in points/goals/totals while injuries increase. He is still on pace for one of his lowest point along w/ goal totals of his career. Hell he had 6 goals in 17 games or it would be his second lowest for most part. Unless think he will score 13 or more goals in the games left… He should score about 1.5 goals in that span given his streak… So King Karl maybe finishes w/ 10 goals 65 points. That will be his 3rd lowest point total of career even not counting the season he only played 17 games. So a guy goes from scoring about 20 goals w/ a point a game to about half that goal total… Then ask me how is he declining? When this is going to be one of his worst seasons since his 2nd year in the league at best? I just hope he does well for Vegas considering what he will cost them to obtain or resign :).
Have you heard of having an off year? In particular after having to rehab all summer and having no training camp? Even after that, he will either lead the league in scoring for a defenseman or be a close second. It sounds like you are predicting the future to some extent as well given you expect him to immediately decline. Burns is 5 years older than Karlsson and still elite offensivebly, and San Jose gave him an 8 year extension at 32.
