When planning a trip to Paris, one of your most pressing questions is likely to be "when is the best time to go?" While all four seasons in Paris can be delightful, the best time to visit Paris is during the summer when temperatures are nearly parfait (perfect) and long, sunny days make it easy to see all the sights.
If you're set to visit Paris for the first time, you may be persuaded that the much-lauded "Paris in the springtime" is the obvious choice—but depending on your budget, tolerance for large crowds, and your personal centers of interest, another time of year may, in fact, suit you much better.
Every season in Paris has its charms and pitfalls, pros and cons. Read on for more information on the general feel and ambiance of each season, as well as info on what to see and do in Paris around the year.

Popular Events and Festivals
The winter holiday season in Paris offers plenty of light and celebration as the city lights up for Christmas and other winter holidays. Galeries Lafayette and other landmarks are adorned with festive holiday decor. In the fall, meanwhile, events like the Montmartre Wine Harvest (Vendanges) and Nuit Blanche, an all-night arts and culture event that sees crowds throng the streets for free exhibits and performances, bring the city to life in memorable ways. Spring marks the beginning of the city's jazz festival season. Jazz fans shouldn't miss the Banlieue Bleues Festival, which typically begins in March and extends through the summer. The St-Germain-des-Prés Jazz Festival usually starts in May. During summer, the city is quieter as Parisians go on holiday, but there are still ample things to do, like free open-air movies in the park and abundant music festivals.
The Weather in Paris
Paris typically has cold and slightly damp winters, with high temperatures hovering around 40 degrees Fahrenheit and lows of approximately 35 degrees. Snow isn't frequent but can happen. March and April are also chilly, but temperatures can break into the 50s. It isn't until May that a thaw takes place, with temperatures slowly but surely climbing into the 60s. (Of course, rain in May is typical, so keep an umbrella close at hand!) Summers can be warm and muggy, but are typically pleasantly warm, with temperatures rarely exceeding 80 degrees. Sometimes an "Indian summer" continues well into September. November can be cold and wet, while December is crisp but dark as the days get shorter.
Peak Season in Paris
Spring and summer are undoubtedly the most popular seasons in Paris. During spring, Parisians are out enjoying their city in full force, while in summer, many are away on holiday—leaving the city crowded with tourists. Flights and accommodations will be most expensive during these two seasons.
For gorgeous seasonal blooms, picnics, and romantic Easter getaways, Paris in spring just can't be beat. Remember, though, that this is an incredibly popular time in the capital for tourism, so booking early is essential if you want to snag a good deal.
Events to Check Out
If you're a sports fan, the French Open kicks off the third week of May.
In early April, the Paris Marathon hits the streets, as thousands run 26.2 miles in the City of Light.
If you don't mind sharing the city with hundreds and thousands of other tourists and love the idea of long, lazy days and nights at a time when the city's at its most relaxed, summer is a great time to explore the French capital. Many French people go on vacation, so while summer is a relaxed time to visit, some tourists might find it to be a bit too sleepy as some boutiques, restaurants, and bars go on their annual "vacance" and close for several weeks at a time.
On June 21 each year, the Fête de la Musique turns every corner of the city into an open-air concert space.
Bastille Day, July 14, is one of the country's most popular holidays and is celebrated with parades, fireworks, and more.
Poetic and romantic souls will love the contemplative mood during this time—and if you're an art or book lover, exhibition season is in full swing in the autumn. Fall can be quite chilly and the days are short, but the leaves turning and crispness in the air makes those strolls along the Seine that much more beautiful.
Don't miss the Vendanges de Montmartre, a quirky event held at Paris's last remaining vineyard.
During the first weekend of October, the city hosts Nuit Blanche (White Night), when galleries and other art spaces stay open late for visitors.
Wine lovers won't want to miss the Salon des Vins des Vignerons Indépendants (Independent Wine Producers Fair), which is held over the last weekend of November each fall.
Christmas markets, ice skating rinks, New Year's celebrations of both the western and Chinese traditions: despite its gloomy reputation, winter is a lively and colorful time in the capital, and a great time to book a family trip. Many of the city's most glamorous department stores have impressive light and window displays, giving the whole city a festive feeling.
Event to Check Out
The Champs-Elysées turns on its stunning Christmas light display each year toward the end of November.

We partnered with Ruffino Wines to share a fall-friendly soup—one that will bring Italy to mind—that you might serve alongside a rich red wine, like their Ruffino Riserva Ducale.
Tuscany's markets in the fall, according to our co-founder Merrill, are overflowing with rapturous vegetables and fruits. When I asked her about a soup recipe she had shared on Food52 in the site's early days, she recalled a scene from a particularly memorable autumn trip to Italy years back: Accompanied by friends, Merrill wandered around local markets in Tuscany, where the produce was bountiful this time of year and wines like Sangiovese and Chianti were being poured with just about every meal.
"Shell beans were everywhere!" she exclaimed, which was why they decided to make soup. After exhausting the day at the markets, Merrill and her friends returned to the villa where they were staying with an assortment of seasonal ingredients ("The cavolo nero was too beautiful to resist—I think it might have actually been the first time I'd cooked with it") and threw together her original Pasta and Bean Soup with Kale.
They had also dropped into a butcher shop nearby and bought lardo for crostini, as well as a couple of roosters (Merrill's first—and only—time cooking those guys), which they braised in red wine for hours to get rid of the toughness (inspiring this dish).
Since her trip, Merrill says, she's made the soup (but not the roosters) many times, tweaking it here and there. Over the years, the recipe has evolved to become a bit brothier and more tomatoey. The revised version also gets specific about the herbs, to reflect what's actually growing in her planters in Brooklyn.
But that's a bendable rule—what you have in yours might be different, so you don't need to feel wedded to the ones she mentions. A note on preparing it a few days in advance: Merrill says that if you are planning to cook it ahead of time, don't cook or add the pasta until you have reheated the soup and are ready to serve it.
It's lovely for leisurely fall weekend days with family or friends, bubbling away on the stove and filling the house with a little slice of Italian countryside.
We're partnering with Ruffino Wines to share recipes for food and drink throughout the year that'll get you living like an Italian (in spirit—although we can't promise you won't want to pick up and move there). See all their wines here.
Love soup and wine as a pairing!

15.4.8.4 Modula-2 Types

Currently gdb can print the following data types in Modula-2
syntax: array types, record types, set types, pointer types, procedure
types, enumerated types, subrange types and base types.  You can also
print the contents of variables declared using these type.
This section gives a number of simple source code examples together with
sample gdb sessions.

The first example contains the following section of code:

     VAR
        s: SET OF CHAR ;
        r: [20..40] ;

and you can request gdb to interrogate the type and value of
r and s.

     (gdb) print s
     {'A'..'C', 'Z'}
     (gdb) ptype s
     SET OF CHAR
     (gdb) print r
     21
     (gdb) ptype r
     [20..40]

Likewise if your source code declares s as:

     VAR
        s: SET ['A'..'Z'] ;

then you may query the type of s by:

     (gdb) ptype s
     type = SET ['A'..'Z']

Note that at present you cannot interactively manipulate set
expressions using the debugger.

The following example shows how you might declare an array in Modula-2
and how you can interact with gdb to print its type and contents:

     VAR
        s: ARRAY [-10..10] OF CHAR ;

     (gdb) ptype s
     ARRAY [-10..10] OF CHAR

Note that the array handling is not yet complete and although the type
is printed correctly, expression handling still assumes that all
arrays have a lower bound of zero and not -10 as in the example
above.

Here are some more type related Modula-2 examples:

     TYPE
        colour = (blue, red, yellow, green) ;
        t = [blue..yellow] ;
     VAR
        s: t ;
     BEGIN
        s := blue ;

The gdb interaction shows how you can query the data type
and value of a variable.

     (gdb) print s
     $1 = blue
     (gdb) ptype t
     type = [blue..yellow]

In this example a Modula-2 array is declared and its contents
displayed.  Observe that the contents are written in the same way as
their C counterparts.

     VAR
        s: ARRAY [1..5] OF CARDINAL ;
     BEGIN
        s[1] := 1 ;

     (gdb) print s
     $1 = {1, 0, 0, 0, 0}
     (gdb) ptype s
     type = ARRAY [1..5] OF CARDINAL

The Modula-2 language interface to gdb also understands
pointer types as shown in this example:

     VAR
        s: POINTER TO ARRAY [1..5] OF CARDINAL ;
     BEGIN
        NEW(s) ;
        s^[1] := 1 ;

and you can request that gdb describes the type of s.

     (gdb) ptype s
     type = POINTER TO ARRAY [1..5] OF CARDINAL

gdb handles compound types as we can see in this example.
Here we combine array types, record types, pointer types and subrange
types:

     TYPE
        foo = RECORD
                 f1: CARDINAL ;
                 f2: CHAR ;
                 f3: myarray ;
              END ;

        myarray = ARRAY myrange OF CARDINAL ;
        myrange = [-2..2] ;
     VAR
        s: POINTER TO ARRAY myrange OF foo ;

and you can ask gdb to describe the type of s as shown
below.

     (gdb) ptype s
     type = POINTER TO ARRAY [-2..2] OF foo = RECORD
         f1 : CARDINAL;
         f2 : CHAR;
         f3 : ARRAY [-2..2] OF CARDINAL;
     END

View Full Version : Voting Deadline?
Did a search. Can't find the deadline. When is the cutoff for submiting our votes? I know its only open to those with over one hundred posts. I'm asking for my husband, who does.
Hopefully, we have at least this weekend.
I think it was a couple weeks for ZombieFest because there were problems with the voting system, but the Sci-Fest was one week. So my guess is you have until Midnight Sunday to vote.
I hope we have until Sunday night. I have downloaded all the films, but I won't be able to watch them until this week-end.
Ya same with me ...way too busy ...watched a couple on my new Lcd monitor last night ..WOW! what a difference.
Where do we submit the votes to?
contact@dvxuser.com as mentioned at the end of the .xls file.
Thanks- I did not scroll left (doh!).
yes Wed. is the deadline. thanks Larry for spreading the word.
Does that mean by the end of Wed. I hope?
If it is like the Sci-Fest then it means until late evening (west coast time) Wednesday...at least that is how the Sci-Fest went down. As to the actual time, I'm not sure, but I think it was around 9:00 PM (west coast time) for the sci-fest (don't quote me on the time, just trying to reach into my memory).
Yep around 9... I remember how I felt, LOL! Heart pounding... I couldn't wait... I'm excited!
Are you saying the results will be announced then or the next day. I am on the East coast so it could be a late night for me.
I'm sure the announcement will be made somewhere around midnight (west coast time)....assuming Jarred runs it like the last one. Though each fest has been slightly different, so it's anyone's guess.


Shannon, your ode is definitely true this year in Nebraska. One week it's 70s with warm moist air and the next it's 20s with freezing rain and snow. We are starting to glide into a week of warm up again and by the weekend it will be in the upper sixties. My tulips and daffodils seem to have survived the large temperature swings. Have a great Spring garden day.

Spiced legumes are one of our favorite ways to make quick, tasty dishes. You can dress up beans and lentils in so many ways, just like you might flavor chicken or other meat proteins. Except that legumes provide fiber, nutrients, lower calories and keep you full for a long time. Bonus.
This dish is in no way meant to be close to authentic Tikka Masala. It is a quick and easy weeknight dinner and is supposed to help you think about different ways you can use simple spices and sauces to make bean dishes. This dish is based on a store-bought Tikka Masala spice mix we bought. (Which we just noticed uses honey powder, so it's not vegan). But there are other blends out there! We like that this spice blend included tomato powder so we didn't even have to cook tomatoes which is normally a big part of traditional Tikka Masala.
Pre-made spice mixes are a great way to speed things up in the kitchen. But, you don't have to buy this spice blend or any other store bought Tikka Masala spice/ sauce blend. You can make your own with a little research. I've listed a spice recipe to below as a start. Just add tomato paste to the spice mix if you don't have tomato powder. We like tomato powder powder because you can mix it with water to make a quick tomato paste instead of buying jars of tomato paste.
Mix the following together: 3 tsp tomato paste, 2 tsp sweet Spanish paprika,1/2 tsp cumin, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp turmeric powder, 1/2 tsp chili powder, 1/2 tsp brown sugar, 1/4 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp ground ginger powder, 1/8 tsp cardamom powder.
Please tag us The Urban Veg and also let us know in the comments below if you try this out!
In a bowl, mix the 3 tbsp Tikka Masala spice mix with the lemon and water. This should form a thick paste.
Heat a small pot on medium. Add 1 tsp of the vegetable oil to the pot. Add the spice paste and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the beans to the pot and mix well with the paste, cooking for 1 minute. Then, add 1/2 cup coconut milk, mix well, turn the heat to medium low and let the mixture simmer and thicken up for about 4-5 minutes.
If you have garam masala, sprinkle some on at the end and stir. Serve on plates and top with fresh cilantro. Serve with rice and veggies and enjoy! (Would also be delicious in a burrito!).

This small book is such a delight to read, it is at the same time a glimpse into ancient Spain [albeit 1934] and a door opening onto Spanish culture today. The cover illustration on my copy, by Pauline Ellison, is flooded with fresh spring green, just like the valley I look out on today on this chilly Spring day. It is the account of the author's walk from Vigo on the Atlantic coast, south to Castillo in AndalucÍa. Written by a young man who knows just one Spanish phrase, he earns pesetas from playing his violin and so sees Spain on the verge of Civil War.
The thing that stays with me after reading it is the hospitality from everyone he meets along the road, people who have little share that little with him. It is something we experience here every day. Our neighbours are all farmers, scratching a subsistence living from harvesting olives, wheat, sunflowers, raising pigs and horses and puppies, and labouring in the fields, they are generous with their smiles and their vegetables. It is not uncommon on a country road to see a small white van parked in the shade and one man with a mattock, hoeing in a large field of weeds. When Laurie Lee's violin finally breaks in Málaga, dried out by too much sun, the people at the inn where he stays do everything they can to help, making glue in their saucepans. The makeshift solution, so Spanish in itself, does not work but he is given a violin for free and continues on his way, finally leaving Spain on the eve of war on a British warship.

In a speech delivered before the Carnegie Council Wednesday, New York City Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said the city will begin video recording criminal interrogations as recommended by the New York State Justice Task Force and the Innocence Project.
The NYPD joins over 800 other jurisdictions that have voluntarily adopted the policy. Under Kelly's new proposal, New York City will become the biggest law enforcement agency in the country to undertake video recording. As an expansion of the NYPD's 2010 pilot program, every precinct in the city will now record entire interrogations in murder, assault and sexual assault cases. Across the state, more than two-thirds of police departments require officers to tape interrogations, according to the state's Division of Criminal Justice Services.
The practice has grown increasingly common in recent years, as digital technology has enabled videotaping to become far more affordable. Kelly said the non-profit New York City Police Foundation will help pay to install video capacity in the city's 76 precincts with a $3 million grant.
Stephen Saloom, the policy director for the Innocence Project at Yeshiva University's Cardozo School of Law, called the proposal a "good first step" but said that all custodial interrogations, not merely those that come after arrest, should be videotaped to prevent false confessions.
A growing awareness about the risk of false confessions has motivated jurisdictions and states nationwide to adopt the reform. Eighteen states and the District of Columbia now mandate that certain felony interrogations be recorded in their entirety, from the reading of the Miranda rights onward.
New York State has a legacy of wrongful convictions based on false confessions. Twelve people from New York have been exonerated through DNA testing after a false confession led to their wrongful conviction, including the high-profile case of the Central Park Five.

How 'Hot Fuzz' Breathed Life Into The Buddy Flick
By Jade Budowski Twitter @jadebudowski Apr 20, 2017 at 11:00am	 113 Shares
The buddy film has been a fixture in cinema since before the 1930s; put together an odd couple, throw in a couple obstacles, have them learn to trust each other, and let the shenanigans ensue. In the beginning, comedy duos like Abbott & Costello and Laurel & Hardy took the silver screen by storm, and by the 1960s and 1970s, Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor had emerged as an iconic buddy duo. It's not to say that the history of the film hasn't had its issues; misogyny and race dynamics have certainly been problematic within the genre, but over time, Hollywood has gradually caught up. Flicks like Thelma & Louise, Rush Hour, The Heat, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, and more put women, people of color, and gay characters at the center of their narratives. The genre's come a long way, and the new spins on it prove more exciting with each release.
The reason why we're here, however, is to talk about one buddy film in particular. Now ten years old, Edgar Wright's Hot Fuzz took every good thing about the genre and put it into a delightfully demented blender. The result was a damn near perfect film; as the second flick in Wright's Cornetto Trilogy, it again put Simon Pegg and Nick Frost together as our central odd couple, but instead of fighting zombies, they're taking on the criminal underbelly of a small village in rural England.
In many ways, Hot Fuzz is a traditional buddy cop comedy; Pegg acts as the uptight straight man, an overachieving police officer from London named Nicholas Angel who reluctantly transfers to Sanford, Gloucestershire after he's informed that he's doing so well that he's making his colleagues look bad, while Frost is Danny Butterman, the goofy, complacent comedic relief, constantly on his way to the pub or rattling on about his love for action and buddy films. The set-up is simple – and then it isn't. Wright is a master of taking on genre conventions and making them his own, and Hot Fuzz is no different. It directly references the films it's inspired by; Bad Boys II and Point Break act as a point of bonding for Nicholas and Danny and eventually inspire Nicholas to go full bad-ass. It is a classic cop action film; Nicholas needs Danny's help to adjust to small town life, while Danny needs Nicholas' help to take himself seriously. This take on the formula is smart, slick, and has a lot of heart. The action sequences are just as thrilling as any other genre staple, but there's a sense of physical comedy combined with a killer script (and soundtrack) that elevates Hot Fuzz to an entirely new place.
Hot Fuzz succeeds because it is wholly and entirely self-aware. The pacing is quick, sharp, and absolutely uproarious – when Nicholas and Danny banter, it's a total treat. Wright understands how to perfectly balance action, comedy, drama, and suspense, and it pays off; the film goes from hilarious physical sequences involving chasing a swan to the discovery of a cult conspiracy and a poor woman being murdered with garden shears without skipping a beat. Characters of a geriatric nature are given guns to wield and use the filthiest of language. The one woman on the police force has the most delectably crass sense of humor of the lot. The film is delightfully, brilliantly satirical, and a stunning homage to the flicks that came before it. The buddy cop genre is one that's easily tired because of the volatile nature of the formula, but Hot Fuzz found a way to utilize script, editing, and performances to produce a thrilling example of just how great the buddy flick can be – a triumph that we're still celebrating ten years later.

Study reveals insights into the barriers to bowel cancer screening
University of Southern Queensland investigation has revealed what prevents people from doing the bowel cancer home screening test.
Health and Behavioural Sciences, Research
The 'yuck factor' of collecting your own stool sample is often said to be the main reason most Australians don't do the home bowel cancer screening test, but new research suggests people are just as likely to forget or fail to plan for it.
Bowel cancer is Australia's second deadliest cancer, claiming more than 100 lives every week.
While most cases of bowel cancer can be successfully treated if detected early, almost six in 10 people do not use their free bowel cancer screening test kit when it arrives in the mail.
A joint project between the University of Southern Queensland and Cancer Council Queensland has revealed key insights about what stops people from taking part in the potentially life-saving screening test.
Lead investigator Dr Belinda Goodwin said the study was a promising step towards increasing bowel cancer screening participation.
"We know that many barriers to screening participation exist, but up until now, we were unable to estimate the degree to which each barrier prevented people from completing and returning the test, and who was most likely to experience each barrier," said Dr Goodwin, an Adjunct Senior Research Fellow at the University of Southern Queensland and a member of the Cancer Council Queensland's research team.
"This data provides a more reliable way to identify and measure barriers to home bowel cancer screening, which will help design interventions that address poor screening rates in the National Bowel Cancer Screening Program."
The researchers surveyed more than 400 participants aged 50-74 years. The participants were asked to indicate the degree to which 89 different barriers might prevent them from completing and returning a home bowel cancer test kit.
Of the respondents who didn't return their most recent kit, the top three barriers were they believed they were up to date with their bowel cancer screening through another method (50.9%), would forget (44.7%) and failed to make plans (37.7%).
Just over one in four respondents indicated embarrassment around storing the sample in their fridge (27.5%), unpleasantness around collecting a stool sample (27.3%) and hygiene concerns (25.2%) acted as barriers to doing the test.
The researchers identified four distinct barrier types: disgust, avoidance, lack of autonomy and physical difficulties.
They found younger participants were less likely to take part in the test due to disgust, while males who didn't return their latest kit were more likely to avoid doing it due to a fear of a negative outcome.
"This four-factor measurement tool provides a useful framework to measure and address barriers to home bowel cancer screening going forward," Dr Goodwin said.
"It could also be used to examine the potential effects of various intervention strategies on different barrier types."
Dr Goodwin said new initiatives and options to make the kits more user-friendly need to be explored.
"While there are some excellent media campaigns promoting the importance of bowel cancer screening in Australia, our findings suggest intervention strategies that address some of the practical and physical barriers and concerns that limit people's ability to do the screening must accompany these efforts," she said.
"This includes encouraging people to make specific plans and prompt them to use their screening kit, and designing easier and cleaner methods for stool collection and storage."
The article 'Barriers to home bowel cancer screening' was published in the journal Psycho-Oncology, and can be read here.
People aged 50-74 can contribute to the next stage of the bowel cancer screening research project by taking part in an online survey.
More information about the project and link to the survey can be found here.

They had to spend four months in onesies — but now their fur is all grown back.
The six puppies were on fire. At least, that's how they felt to Kristina Rinaldi, executive director of Detroit Dog Rescue (DDR), when she picked them up from animal control.
"When I say that these puppies were literally on fire, they were on fire," Rinaldi told The Dodo. "They were just burning up. They had high temperatures."
Besides having dangerously high fevers, the puppies had severe cases of mange - so much so that they were pink and hairless and had painful sores all over their skin.
"I've seen a lot of mange cases in my dog rescue career, but this was the worst mange I had ever seen," Rinaldi said. "Their lymph nodes were swollen. Their eyes were swollen shut. Their skin was peeling off."
These six puppies came into Rinaldi's care in November 2015 after they'd been seized from an abandoned house in Detroit, Michigan. At the time, the animal control shelter was at full capacity, and they didn't have the resources to care for these puppies. So the shelter manager reached out to Rinaldi, and asked if DDR could help.
"The manager actually said, 'How do you feel about hairless puppies?'" Rinaldi said. "And I said, 'What?' She texted me a picture of the puppies, and I said, 'We'll be there to pick them up in a little bit.'"
A team of DDR volunteers rushed the puppies to a vet. But for two of them, help came too late, and they passed away by the time they arrived at the clinic.
The others were barely holding on.
"The veterinarian said, 'We're working against the impossible,'" Rinaldi said.
But Rinaldi refused to give up. Medical staff confirmed they could alleviate the puppies' pain while treating them, so she decided it was worth the fight.
The four puppies, whom the DDR volunteers named Wilbur, Petunia, Pinkie and Arthur, stayed in medical boarding for about 12 weeks.
"We would visit them every day," Rinaldi said. "We also have a great support system of veterinary technicians."
When the puppies were eventually released into foster care, they still needed around-the-clock attention to continue treating their mange.
"Mange is caused by tiny insects called mites," Dr. Danielle Cobiella, a veterinarian with BluePearl Veterinary Clinic, told The Dodo. "Some mites cause scabies, which involves extremely uncomfortable itching that can lead to skin diseases. Scabies makes dogs absolutely miserable. Another type of mite lives in the hair follicles and can also cause itching."
To help the puppies' itchy and tender skin heal, the DDR volunteers also dressed them in baby onesies.
"Everybody on our team who had had a baby dug into their boxes and brought baby onesies in for them because their skin was so delicate," Rinaldi said. "They lived in baby onesies for about four months."
Eventually, the puppies' fur started to grow in. It started as peach fuzz, but after about six to eight months, their full coats grew in.
And once the puppies were healthy, they were all adopted into loving homes.
Beth English, a DDR volunteer, is the one who adopted Wilbur.
"We gave [Wilbur] a beautiful home with a huge backyard to run around in," English told The Dodo. "He's got a puppy brother from another mother who also lives with him. They're both the same age – 2-years-old. And he's spoiled like hell. My husband and I decided not to have kids, so these are our kids. He has a life of luxury."
Despite the medical issues he had as a puppy, Wilbur now has a clean bill of health, English said. And this is all thanks to Rinaldi and the other DDR volunteers.
"DDR takes on so many dogs who have been stabbed or shot or have the odds just stacked against them, and time and time again, we say, 'Let's sit back and assess the situation,'" Rinaldi said. "And ultimately, we always make the decision that if you try hard enough, you can do this. Nothing is impossible."
While Wilbur, Petunia, Pinkie and Arthur already have their forever homes, there are plenty of other dogs up for adoption. If you're interested in adopting a puppy or dog, contact DDR. You can also help DDR rescue more animals in need by making a donation.


Who "kneeds" quadriceps strain sidelining them?! Bad puns may be annoying, but so can a nagging quadriceps injury. Whether you hit the hardwood, the gridiron or the baseball diamond, a quadriceps strain can hit you.
Grade 1 is where the player has mild discomfort in the thigh and no loss of strength.
Grade 2 is when moderate pain, swelling and some loss of strength occurs.
Grade 3 is a complete rupture of the fibers leaving the player in severe pain and unable to walk. Grade 3 usually requires surgery.
Quadriceps tears can sideline a player anywhere from two weeks to three months depending on the severity.
If a sudden motion overpowers the strength of the quads' muscle fibers, tears can occur. This injury is common in football, basketball, soccer, running and baseball.
Sudden twists can also cause a tear in the quads, but other factors like muscle fatigue, tightness and muscle imbalance can predispose your to quadriceps tears.
A torn quad can really mess with your performance. Think of sitting into a low chair -- the quadriceps help control lowering you into the seat by working in unison with the hamstrings. If the quadriceps are not strong enough to counter the hamstring force, you "plop" down. This " plopping" is not what you want coming down after rebounding a basketball!
In football, a lineman's quads contract to straighten the knee, thrusting him to an upright position from a squatting position into an opposing player who weighs 300 pounds. If a tear is present, the player will have less power to boost him into the hit.
Keeping muscle fibers in good alignment allows them to glide well and tolerate forces. Stretching and strengthening can help do this.
Always check with a physician prior to any exercise routine. And remember: You may be sidelined... but not for long!


Generally speaking, the lives of young adults tend to be significantly more chaotic and less predictable than the lives of older adults who have had time to become established in their careers, refine their habits, purchase homes, and all the rest.
People in their late teens or early twenties, by comparison, are likely to be moving out of the family home for the first time. They may be studying, or they may be joining the workforce in earnest, but they're certainly likely to have to go through plenty of trial and error on their way.
One component of this is that young adults are more likely to be unstable financial situations. They often have to deal with exploitative landlords, to the extent that they may need to contact tenant solicitors to resolve things. And of course, you typically don't earn much at the very onset of your career.
Nonetheless, saving money for the long-term is one of the best habits anyone could get into, for their own wellbeing, as well as to expand their horizons and options down the line. So, here are some tips for saving money as a young adult.
It's impossible to save money in any effective or meaningful way, unless you become comfortable with the idea of budgeting. Tracking your income and expenses, and determining how much you can save, and how much you must spend on various financial categories, is imperative.
That being said, budgeting well is a skill that requires practice to develop. So start practicing today.
You may find that you do best with the help of a software program or cloud-based tool such as You Need a Budget, in order to manage your financial life. Or maybe using a notebook and pen, and following a more pared-down budgeting methodology will work for you.
The key is that you start budgeting ASAP, and update your budget on a daily basis. Try different system to identify what works for you.
Charles Duhigg, author of the book "The Power of Habit", refers to a phenomenon he calls "keystone habits". These keystone habits are, essentially, individual habits which influence multiple other habits in a productive and positive way, automatically.
Going to sleep early, for example, may make you wake up early, improve your nutrition, make you more likely to exercise, and so on.
Habit building takes time, but you need to start identifying and applying those financial keystone habits to your life starting today.
When you're young, you're likely pretty ambitious and maybe even a bit arrogant, at least in principle. It's not uncommon for University freshers to think they can basically have it all.
A difficult-to-accept fact of life, however, is that you don't get anything without sacrifice — and you can't have it all. At least, not all at once.
Saving money and having some spare change to dedicate to vacations, side-hustles, and so on, means sacrificing some of those all-night parties. And doing without certain indulgences. You need to be willing to put off pleasurable experiences today, for more meaningful things tomorrow.

Phone Frustration: Look at Me When I'm Talking to You
Miss Manners weighs in on cell etiquette for today's world
By Deborah QuilterAugust 26, 2015
By Deborah Quilter
A lot of people are applauding actress Patti LuPone these days — and not just for her dramatic skills. Rather, it was how she recently handled the rude behavior of an audience member.
It happened during a performance of Shows for Days at New York's Lincoln Center. The patron, sitting close to the arena-style stage and consequently bathed in light, was texting nonstop. So, during a moment when LuPone typically shakes hands with a few audience members as she exits a scene, the great diva instead tapped the woman's shoulder with one hand, and — deftly as a pickpocket — palmed her phone with the other, then sailed offstage.
MoreTethered to Tech and Resenting It
It's not just a theater thing. Sharon Cuevas works in a Florida store and rails against customers who talk on their phones while checking out. Their lack of focus slows down the whole line. Her strategy is to ask gabbing offenders as many questions as possible in an attempt to make them focus. "Did you find everything you need? Do you need X to go along with Y? Do you have any coupons? Would you like a bag for that?"
She has asked customers to hang up or step aside, too. "It is getting to the point where people need to be forced to take a lesson in cell phone etiquette before purchasing a phone," Cuevas says.
Some people complain about the tinny sound of a text message interrupting yoga class. Others feel offended when a friend is actively or furtively checking a phone during lunch. In fact, we've all experienced cell phones being used inappropriately.
Should we accept this kind of behavior as the new normal and resign ourselves to the idea that we'll never again enjoy an uninterrupted performance, quiet bus ride or a dining companion's undivided attention? If not, how can we teach people to have more consideration?
It's just as rude to ignore someone by texting as it would be to pull out a newspaper or a book in front of them.
— Judith Martin (Miss Manners)
For guidance, we consulted nationally syndicated etiquette columnist Judith Martin (Miss Manners).
The 411 on Cell Phone Etiquette
Martin quickly settled the question: "It's just as rude to ignore someone by texting as it would be to pull out a newspaper or a book in front of them," she says. "If talking loudly is considered rude, the same thing applies to talking loudly on a cell phone."
Martin attributes the rise in rudeness to what she calls the "new toy syndrome." People have some new gadget and there are no rules about using it yet. Fortunately, Martin sets things straight in a new e-book: Miss Manners: On Endless Texting.
MoreIs Smart Technology Making Us Dumb?
She credits the increase in bad behavior at the theater or similar settings to the recent notion that everything must be interactive — that is, the audience's opinion is as important as what's being said on stage. Martin adds, though, "the idea that the audience was once well-behaved is not borne out historically." Audience members frequently talked or milled about during orchestral performances until various conductors lashed back and insisted upon proper decorum. Now, she noted, "There's always an etiquette lesson before every performance. Don't use your cell phone; unwrap your candy wrappers now."
Still, there can be scofflaws who ignore signs and polite verbal requests. If someone is shouting on his or her cell phone on the bus, Martin advises invoking a higher authority: Ask the bus driver to tell the person to pipe down.
If you've met someone for lunch and he or she ignores you while preoccupied with texts or email, Martin suggests you say: "This is obviously a bad time, let's meet another time."
Does Miss Manners think the etiquette surrounding cell phones will eventually sort itself out?
"I certainly hope so. The old basic rules can easily be applied," she explained. "Don't annoy other people. Don't ignore other people."
Meantime, for those seeking a quiet contemplation uninterrupted by intrusive noise, there does seem to be one refuge where people police themselves. When asked if Cardinal Dolan has ever had to stop Mass because of ringing phones, Joseph Zwilling, director of communications for the Archdiocese of New York, replied that he'd never witnessed that. On the occasions when parishioners have not heeded the announcement to silence electronic devices, they quickly dive to turn off a ringing phone, usually with a sheepish look on their face.
"The only people I've seen abusing this are reporters," Zwilling observed. "Their desk will call, and I'll have to tell them to please take the call outside."

This degree of partisan irresponsibility only aggravates the already powerful skepticism among the young about what it means to be religious. In their landmark 2010 book American Grace, the scholars Robert Putnam and David Campbell found that the rise of the nones was driven by the increasing association of organized religion with conservative politics and a lean toward the right in the culture wars.
What's maddening about all this is that religion has a strong case to make for itself–to the young and to everyone else–given its historical role as a prod to personal and social change and the ways in which movements for justice have been inspired through the centuries by the words of Exodus, Micah, Isaiah, Amos and Jesus.

Q: Rails memcache store default auto expiration time I have been struggling for a while to find out if there is some default expiration time set by Rails, in case we don't provide any while storing a key-value pair to memcache?
e.g. Rails.cache.write('some-key', 'some-value')
Would rails set some expiration time by default if we haven't specified?

A: If you're using the default, built-in MemCacheStore class provided by Rails, then no. It won't assume an expiry time when you create new cache entries. You can read the applicable code to verify that. It checks to see if you've passed an expires_in option to the #write method like
Rails.cache.write("key", "content", expires_in: 2.hours)

and if you haven't, simply passes 0 to memcache indicating no expiry time. Hope this helps!

A: If you are using the newer (and I think better) Dalli memcached gem, you can configure it at the adapter-level using a line like the following:
config.cache_store = :dalli_store, 'cache-1.example.com', 'cache-2.example.com',
  { :namespace => NAME_OF_RAILS_APP, :expires_in => 1.day}

See the README for a detailed explanation of the :expires_in option. Overall, I think Dalli is worth checking out for more than just this feature, its also faster and supports some newer authentication features, etc.

Best Microsoft Surface Duo 2 deals
Big discounts are often available
By Anyron Copeman
Senior Staff Writer, Tech Advisor JAN 9, 2023 11:10 am GMT
The Surface Duo 2 is Microsoft's second-gen, dual-screen folding phone. It's the only device in the Surface range to run Android, albeit with Microsoft's custom launcher over the top.
No new Surface Duo was released in 2022, and the Duo 3 has reportedly been cancelled. It means the Duo 2 is still worth buying for some people – it's a much better option than at launch.
It's also where you'll see some hefty discounts – provided you can find stock. That's been extremely limited since late 2022, with no guarantees it'll ever return to normal levels. If you're based in the US or UK, here's everything you need to know.
Best Surface Duo 2 deals
Microsoft described the Surface Duo as "an important part of the Surface portfolio" in a January 2023 statement to Windows Central, but didn't make any commitments regarding Duo 2 stock.
When in stock, here's where you can buy one from:
Microsoft Store – 128GB, 256GB and 512GB
Amazon – 128GB and 256GB
Walmart – 128GB and 256GB
Best Buy – 128GB only
Amazon – 128GB only
It's also worth considering eBay, but there are extra risks associated with that.
Microsoft Surface Duo 2: Best prices right now
For the very latest information, check out our price comparison widget below:
Can you buy the Surface Duo 2 on contract?
The Surface Duo 2's premium price makes buying the phone on contract an appealing alternative, but no network is stocking the phone in the US or UK.
EE did have the 128GB available for around a year in the UK, but it's been removed from the site. No carriers have ever made the Duo 2 available in the US.
But while you can't buy the device on contract, unlocked versions will work with all of the usual networks.
How much did the Surface Duo 2 cost at launch?
Despite the upgrades, the Duo 2 was priced similarly to its predecessor at launch. The £1,349/$1,499 starting price was identical in the UK, but $100 more expensive in the US. Here's the full breakdown:
8GB RAM, 128GB storage – $1,499.99/£1,349
8GB RAM, 512GB storage – $1,799.99/£1,589 (Microsoft Store exclusive – black finish only)

If you are going to this event and want a garage, you had better hurry, garages will probably be sold out soon.
As a reminder the club has 24 access to the paddock so that is included in the entry fee. If you plan to stay in the camp ground, I think chaparral will be the only one available. I am staying there Sunday night, Thurs and Fri I will be in the paddock.
There is some space left for this event, however the garages are filling up.
We have some space left so we decided to open up one day entries. Reg form can be found HERE.
Terry nice meeting you and all the friendly Alfa owners too.
Had to bring the all stock C5Z, fun to flog.
The drive home to San Diego New Years eve was interesting as the grapevine was closed and we were able to use the 33 to get home.
Video of Sandy in his GT350.
I'm posting this for a buddy, Mario Cano, #44 yellow NSX.
Are there any other pics of his car. He had a bunch of friends stop by the track on Saturday and wanted to show off to them.
A bit late but I finally edited some of the in-car video from our time trial and posted short video to You Tube.

Nutrient loading into lakes and rivers continues to negatively affect Manitoba's watershed and is a critical environmental issue. UWinnipeg geography professor Dr. Bill Buhay was granted a $10,000 RBC Blue Water Project Community Action Grant to help improve overall water quality of the Dead Horse Creek (a Red River tributary) and its principal discharge water systems (Red River/Lake Winnipeg watershed).
The grant funds the hiring of third-year geography student Rebbecca Wilks. She will help Buhay conduct the research, which is of significant interest to the citizens of Morden and Winkler, Manitoba.

Uni Dominant Across the Grades; Standouts in Each
Tuesday, 23rd November, 2021
ByAndrew Young
Club News, Latest News, News
After standout individual performances in every grade, Uni have put themselves in a dominant position and with a good look at the first 'broom' of the season, after day one against Kingston Hawthorn.
FIRST XI
SPORK TAKES 5 HAWKS
Off-spinner James Bett, also known as Spork, was the stand-out performer for the First XI on Saturday, as Uni battled away in the field on a particularly batsman friendly Walter Galt wicket.
Having lost the toss and finding themselves in the field, opening bowlers Steve Reid and Mark Stafford were diligent up front, and after Stafford took the first, Reid claimed two in two balls to have Kingston reeling at 3/39. From this point on, the Hawks settled in on a flat pitch, and Uni managed only one wicket in the second session. After tea, however, with two set batsmen, Kingston failed to take advantage of their platform, as spin duo James Bett and Ben Rolfs went to work. Bett (5/45) bolwed for the entire last session, and ensured Uni restricted their opposition. Credit to all the bowlers on what was a long day; at the close of play, Kingston were all out for 292, meaning the Students will need to bat well, but are a good chance to take the points next week.
James Bett was the standout for the First XI
SECOND XI
With coach Keely taking the reins as skipper this week, the Second XI had the perfect day of red-ball cricket on Saturday.
Bowling first at the Uni Main, the Students took the first wicket when the Hawks had only 7 on the board, and never looked back. Abdul Haseeb (7/26) was sublime in his return to the Second XI. Such was his dominance, that Uni had 7 fielders behind the wicket at one stage. A fantastic achievement, Abdul's performance went a long way to giving Uni the upper hand in this one, and secured him the mantle of TRP Player of the Week. 'Bruce' combined with Jacob Stevenson (1/24) and Peter Hatzoglou (2/11) to bowl out Kingston for just 105.
Abdul is TRP Player of the Week
With plenty of time left in the day, Uni went about claiming first innings points. Isaiah Borgas and Ben Roughsedge made a promising start to the chase before Roughsedge was dismissed for 20. Iqbal (21) and Max Hatzoglou (33) chipped in with handy cameos, but the real show was at the other end, where Borgas dictated terms. Making Kingston's bowlers look second rate, Borgy crunched 14 boundaries on his way to 101, as Uni declared at 7/202 from only 43 overs.
Isaiah Borgas made 101 in the Second XI
Still with 13 overs left in the day, Uni managed to claim 1 wicket in the evening, meaning the Hawks are still 70 runs in arears, as the Second XI will enter week 2 as hot favourites to claim 10 points.
THIRD XI
In a jam-packed day of cricket, the Third XI managed to claw their way out of trouble, and finish week one in a strong position.
Batting first, Uni found themselves 4/22 early in the piece, after the top order struggled and a batting collapse loomed. Thankfully, the middle order held firm, as Nick Ritchie (33) and hard-hitting Jayden Kennedy (21) combined for an almost 50-run partnership. When they both fell, along with John McLaughlan, things were looking precarious at 7/72. Enter the world's nicest man, Sam Skinner. The ambidextrous ultra-marathon runner turned innings saviour, as he clubbed 75, coming in at number 8. He combined with Savill (30), Jacob Kooran (32) and Kendrick Hatton (33) to help push Uni beyond 200. Having scored at almost a run a ball all day, the Third XI were ultimately bowled out for 238 from only 41 overs.
Still with 39 overs left in the day, Uni's bowlers put in a solid shift in the afternoon session, managing three wickets. McLaughlan was the standout in his return to Premier cricket, taking 2/8 from 11 overs. The score finished with Kingston 3/69, and a tantalising contest awaits next week.
FOURTH XI
In a completely dominant display of cricket, the Fourth XI owned the first day of their clash with Kingston on Saturday, as a young pup and seasoned campaigner combined for a match defining partnership.
Batting first at Princes Park, MUCC Comms. Favourite, 'Run Machine' Raf Epstein cruised to 47, and Geelong Grammar product, Henry Alexander, managed 28 at better than a-run-a-ball. The loss of a couple of quick wickets, however, saw the Students 5/97, and the innings could have gone either way. From this point on, however, Uni grabbed and held onto the ascendancy. Jonny 'Pebbles' Stone and Anthony McQuire combined for a 172-run stand. Balancing experience and youthful exuberance, the pair batted the Hawks into submission. Jonny Stone (103) managed his first century at any level of cricket, while McQuire, who was on one leg for most of his innings, ultimately fell 9 runs short of a maiden MUCC hundred. Having amassed 283, captain, Laban Ditchburn declared the innings closed, giving the Students the chance to have a bowl in the evening.
Pebbles made his first century in the Fourth XI
Lachie Melican proved to be too quick for a couple of Hawks, managing 2 wickets, and Ollie De Stefanis, in his first match for the Club, claimed his first wicket, to have Kingston in trouble at 3/39 at the close of play. The Fourth XI will enter the second week as favourites to claim their first win of the year.

The Unwanted: Stories of The Syrian Refugees by Don Brown. HMHTeen, 2018. 9781328810151. 105pp.
Brown's graphic novel opens with protests in Syria in March 2011, and the violence that followed. As Syrians flee the country and Assad's soldiers, others join the fight. Hardships plus the possibility of torture and execution force many to make difficult choices for themselves and their families. Overloaded ships overturn at sea. Profiteers are everywhere. It's not clear who refugees can trust or where they can go, but leaving seems like a better, safer bet than staying.
The book doesn't follow a single refugee on her harrowing journey, but instead summarizes the experiences of many based on diverse sources. Individual faces are often drawn somewhat indistinctly, more so in crowd scenes. Despite the circumstances, there are moments of joy and hope. The book made me realize both the scope and scale of what's happening, and in giving specific examples (with sources cited) and bringing different people into focus (even for just a page or two), it makes it clear that every person in every crowd is dealing with their own particularly difficult experiences.
In Brown's notes, he says he wanted to focus on the refugee experience, and disregarded everything else to avoid creating "an enormous, sprawling book, one that would not be well served by a graphic novel." Included in the back are journal summaries from his visits to a refugee camp in Greece in 2017 (along with photos), source notes on particular pages that include the sources of dialogue, and an extensive bibliography. Kudos to him for all of this — it's not the standard in nonfiction graphic novels, but it should be. While this book may not answer every question about Syrian refugees, it is a great graphic novel.


Years ago (2001-2007) I was heavily involved with the design and running of a Live Action Role Playing game called The Imperium LARP. You can see what we worked on by pointing the Internet Wayback Machine to http://www.imperiumlarp.org. While working on the project the creator drilled the idea of the LCD into our heads… And made us better game designers because of it.
The guidebook that existed when I started the game hurt to read. Sentences made no sense, terrible paragraph structure, bad spelling, and plenty of typos plagued the book. It was my goal in those days to clean up the grammar, spelling, sentence structure, and clarify the rules without actually changing or developing the rules.
We had a couple hundred players at the height of the game. This generated a lot of feedback about who like what rules, who thought what was fair, etc. The games co-creator William Terry Armstrong knew from his years of gaming experience that taking on all feedback would kill the game. He dubbed this the "Lowest Common Denominator" effect. He took a firm stand against it.
The lesson being that designing any game for the LCD player, or across a large player base, leads to boring game design. It is the weird rough edges that makes a game interesting. Smoothing out those edges removes what makes the game distinct. Our constant refrain was "Don't dumb the game down to the LCD." Back then we didn't have alt-dev-blogs about 'core audience', 'target audience', no gamasutra articles to help guide us. Nor the more positive spin of today's phrasing.
But we did have one hard-nosed game designer, who had 20 years of experience getting LARP players to do something they do surprisingly little of: Role Playing. Designing a game with a set of constraints creates art. Designing by metrics for a broad a group as possible creates bland palp. What Terry failed to mention was that the audience for bland palp is actually really large.

Q: Nesting multiple direct descendant selectors in SASS Not sure if it's possible or not but this has been bugging me for a while.
Is it possible in SASS to select multiple direct descendants within a nested block?
// This works
div
{
  > .one
  {
    /* ... */
  }
}

// This doesn't work
div
{
  > .one,
  > .two
  {
    /* ... */
  }
}

A: It works, you do something wrong. More then, you can look at compiled css here: http://sass-lang.com/try.html , in your case it provides:
div > .one {
  /* ... */ }

div > .one,
div > .two {
  /* ... */ }

So it works.


I see this issue has already been seen before... but I must be honest, I have no idea what they're saying to fix the issue.
No matter now... kept hitting refresh & it finally gave in.
I am trying to install VB 5.1.10, everything works as expected until the process just stops and does nothing at Step 14. Any suggestions on what I can do?
I am trying to install vBulletin 5.0.0 and I am unable to get passed step 2. I wiped everything off my server (host = hostrocket) and uploaded a fresh copy of vBulletin but still no luck.

Ronald Shannon Jackson
from Fort Worth, TX
January 12, 1940 - October 19, 2013 (age 73)
Drummer Ronald Shannon Jackson, and his Decoding Society of the 1980s, learned from the example of Ornette Coleman's Prime Time and were a logical extension of the group. They featured colorful and noisy ensembles; were not afraid of the influence of rock; and their rhythms were funky, loud, and unpredictable. Jackson played professionally in Texas with James Clay when he was 15. He moved to New York in 1966, where he worked with Byard Lancaster, Charles Mingus, Betty Carter, Stanley Turrentine, Jackie McLean, McCoy Tyner, Kenny Dorham, and most significantly Albert Ayler (1966-1967), among others. He took time off of the scene and then joined Ornette Coleman's Prime Time (1975-1979). Jackson also worked with Cecil Taylor (1978-1979) and James Blood Ulmer (1979-1980). The Decoding Society (formed in 1979), through the years, featured many talented and advanced improvisers, with the best-known ones being Vernon Reid, Zane Massey, Billy Bang, and Byard Lancaster. Jackson also played with the explosive group Last Exit (starting in 1986), and in the early '90s with Power Tools. Ronald Shannon Jackson's music is not for easy-to-offend ears. The drummer died at his home in Fort Worth, Texas on October 19, 2013 after battling leukemia; he was 73 years old. ~ Scott Yanow, Rovi

Well I read some today at Berean. I saw a book that I've seen, maybe…20 times before at Berean, but never really picked it up and looked at it. It was a book that went through the events of Columbine. I read through parts of it, mostly the part where it talked about the life of Cassie Bernell. Some things I've failed to realize: The Columbine shooting happened April 20, 1999, almost 4 years ago now….never thought it's been that long now. Supposedly the whole thing about Cassie being asked the question "Do you believe in God?" was false, according to this book. They're saying that through different people, they learned that it was another girl that they asked this question to, and that she was shot, but still lived. Other eye witnesses say that it was Cassie who they asked the question to as well as the first girl though. So yeah, kinda makes me feel a lil down cuz of that. I know that God was pleased with her in any way, and that she's with Him now.
On a side note, in the book they also had pictures from Columbine, mostly taken from the writer of the book. In one it had a picture of the two Cohen brothers, performing the song "Columbine, Friend of Mine" for the last time. I remember hearing that song long time ago, and I like it a lot. It was on one of my CDs, but now I don't remember which one it was on… If anyone remembers, please let me know. Thanks.

Q: Проблема с расстановкой кавычек Каким образом в echo записать html-код с привязкой к onclick функции со строковым параметром?
echo '' . $b. '';

То есть, в echo используем одинарную кавычку, а в последующем html-коде - двойную. Но каким-то образом надо сделать так, чтобы переменные внутри функции func тоже заключались в кавычки. Если делать так, как на примере выше, то вылезает php-ошибка:

syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING

A: Для экранирования символов в PHP используют обратный слеш \.
Для вашего случая:

In an English industrial city, a young girl commits suicide and an inspector calls on an eminently respectable British family, subject to a routine inquiry in connection with the death. The family, closely knit and friendly on the surface, is shown up as selfish, self-centered or cowardly, and during the course of the inspector's questioning, all members of the group are implicated lightly or deeply in the girl's undoing. Produced in London and New York. According to Variety, the play is a psychologically adept work and "an engaging play… Its mood is sustained throughout, so that it is practically always interesting." Though ostensibly a remarkably clear and effective dramatic play, there underlies the whole thing an air of mystic unreality. AN INSPECTOR CALLS is an effective presentation of the strange twists that take place in human beings when their consciences are affected.

3 White Men in South Africa Charged for Racist Attack Against Young Boys at Swimming Pool
By Victor Ahonsi
Three white men in South Africa have been charged with crimes, including attempted murder, after an alleged racist attack on two black boys sparked public outrage.
The men were caught on video attacking two black teenagers who were using a swimming pool at the Maselspoort Resort in Free State County.
The men tried to stop the teenagers from swimming, claiming the pool was for whites.
In the video, widely shared on South African social media, the men yelled at the boys and beat them. One of the men pushed one of the boys under the water.
