Q: Is the invariant subalgebra of the von Neumann algebra $L(F_k)$ isomorphic to $L(F_k)$? Let the symmetric group $G=S_{k}$ act on the von Neumann algebra of the free group $L(F_k)$ via permuting its generators. Is the fixed point algebra under the action isomorphic to the whole algebra, i.e., $L(F_k)^{S_k}\cong L(F_{k})$?

A: No, this is not the result that you should expect. Below, I prove that $L(F_k)^{S_k} \cong L(F_N)$ where $N = 1 + (k-1) |S_k| = 1 + (k-1) \cdot k!$. Of course, we do not know if $L(F_k) \not\cong L(F_N)$, but that is independent of the question.
In analogy with the Nielsen-Schreier index formula, one expects that a subfactor of index $m$ in $L(F_k)$ is isomorphic with $L(F_{1+(k-1)m})$, but proving this is an open problem. Note that this should even hold for non-integer indices $m$ by using interpolated free group factors.
For the specific example in the question, this can however be worked out. Slightly more generally, one may consider a transitive and faithful action of a finite group $\Gamma$ on a finite set $I$ and prove that $L(F_I)^\Gamma \cong L(F_N)$ where $N = 1 + (|I|-1)|\Gamma|$. To prove this formula, denote $A = L(\mathbb{Z})$ equipped with its natural trace. View $L(F_I)$ as the free product of $|I|$ copies of $A$. Fix an element $i_1 \in I$ and denote by $\Gamma_1 < \Gamma$ the stabilizer of $i_1$. The crossed product $L(F_I) \rtimes \Gamma$ is then naturally isomorphic with the amalgamated free product
$$M = (A \otimes L(\Gamma_1)) *_{L(\Gamma_1)} L(\Gamma) \; .$$
Since $\Gamma \curvearrowright I$ is faithful, the action $\Gamma \curvearrowright L(F_I)$ is outer and $M$ is a $II_1$ factor. By Theorem 4.2 of [DK11], $M$ is isomorphic with an interpolated free group factor $L(F_s)$ and, using the notation of [DK11], the value of $s$ can be computed as
$$s = \operatorname{fdim}(A \otimes L(\Gamma_1)) + \operatorname{fdim}(L(\Gamma)) - \operatorname{fdim}(L(\Gamma_1)) \; .$$
Since $A \otimes L(\Gamma_1)$ is diffuse, one has $\operatorname{fdim}(A \otimes L(\Gamma_1))=1$. For any finite group $\Lambda$ and using the canonical trace on $L(\Lambda)$, one has that
$$\operatorname{fdim}(L(\Lambda)) = 1 - \frac{1}{|\Lambda|} \; .$$
We thus conclude that
$$s = 1 + \frac{1}{|\Gamma_1|} - \frac{1}{|\Gamma|} \; .$$
So we have proven that
$$L(F_s) \cong M \cong L(F_I) \rtimes \Gamma \cong M_{|\Gamma|}(\mathbb{C}) \otimes L(F_I)^\Gamma \; .$$
We conclude that $L(F_I)^\Gamma \cong L(F_s)^{1/|\Gamma|} \cong L(F_N)$ where
$$N = 1 + |\Gamma|^2 (s-1) = 1 + (|I|-1) |\Gamma| \; .$$

I think that A site needs to feel more important and unique. Right now it feels like another connector or open area. Maybe add something important that is getting bombed like a statue or important building. It should be distinct from the rest of the passages. Otherwise, interesting geometry and a clean +pleasing T spawn art pass.


Is there something I should know? The fortune teller gives a hint - for the present and the future.
Please touch the crystal ball!
Are you looking for a brief glimpse into your future? The free online fortune teller can help you get impressions of things that might soon happen in your life.
Let this free digital soothsayer give you a prediction. So you might get an idea of affairs that could befall, impending risks or potential chances, for instance. Especially if you consider the statements as what they indeed are: an inspiring but cloudy augury and not an exact forecast, that should be taken word by word.
The soothsayer on the Psychic Crystal Ball is kind of an online medium. It is always present and ready to ask for your permission to endow you with information. There is no proof that fortune tellers are able to talk with beings from another world, or that they have a magic sight of things that are supposed to come. Besides that, such abilities are only explainable through parapsychological investigations. The beings which were already mentioned are said to travel through time and talk to the medium about what they see and what will happen. Nevertheless, such talking is not necessary in order to get in contact with esoteric energies. The only phenomena this way of divination needs is the stroke of fate, that chosses which is going to be divined.
A fortune teller game for free - how can that be?
The online crystal ball gazer is just the medium. You're the one who is in charge. Or at least your subconsciousness. The help of ghosts, demons or other entities is not implicitly required.
This digital clairvoyant is describing its psychic impressions. Their source is nothing less than destiny. But as long as you don't fill those statements with life, inspiration and maybe your own gut feeling, they remain just phrases. The real prediction comes from your inner life, from the way you are construing what this oracle tells you. Augury is probably existing since mankind's first religious steps. Interpretation always was an essential part of it.
Conceivably there's a chance that love, money or even dangers are awaiting you in the future. But you have to forecast that more or less by yourself. In accordance with the philosophy of this site, and because most of the fortune telling has to be done by the questioners, this reading is free for every visitor.
Maybe you are able to see the future by yourself with the gift of clairvoyance. In that case, there is no immediate need to use the tarot cards or runes, for example - even these utilities are said to be very helpful. However, with the help of the Psychic Crystal Ball, you can also try to get your glimpse into the future. Find out what destiny holds in store for you. Place your questions.
Now start the Fortune Teller!


Chattanooga rule forbids dance contests and…Ironman events?

Practically on the eve of Chattanooga's 11th Ironman event Sunday, city leaders discovered an ominous inclusion in the city's ordinances. Chapter 6, Section 6, regulating "Amusements," singles out "Human endurance contests" and states: "It shall be unlawful for any person to operate or promote marathon walks or dances or other similar physical endurance contests in the city, and it shall be unlawful for any person to participate in such contests." So much for the 3,000 competitors seeking athletic glory this weekend in what's been called "one of the world's foremost endurance events," right? Nope.

> Toulouse Aftershocks Influence French Campaign
Toulouse Aftershocks Influence French Campaign
Nicolas Sarkozy and his rivals seek to demonstrate toughness against Muslim extremism.

Muslim Extremism France Elections
Yousuf Qaradawi Reuters
Since the Toulouse school massacre, Muslim religious extremism has become an issue in the French presidential elections.
The incumbent president Nicolas Sarkozy is better placed to dominate this issue. As an analyst for one of the French polling organizations, BVA has written, the choice between Sarkozy and his rival Francois Hollande is a choice between a firefighter and a brick mason. In normal times, the public will go for the bricklayer, but in emergency situations, it will veer back towards the firefighter - Sarkozy.
An extremist cell was rounded up in Nice. Henceforward, French citizens departing France for Pakistan, Afghanistan and other places where Muslim terrorist activity takes place, will be committing a crime. This, warned Sarkozy, means police custody and prison. The president's rivals have begun to fire back on this issue, refusing it to leave it to Sarkozy and his UMP party.
Over the weekend the National Front and the French Socialist party declared their alarm over the imminent arrival of two prominent Muslim preachers--Yusuf Qaradawi and Mahmoud Al-Masri, who were scheduled to attend the April 5th Congress of the French Union of Islamic Organizations (UOIF), an organization which has ties with the Muslim Brotherhood.
Manuel Valls, communications director for the Hollande campaign, claimed "it is unacceptable that such an individual…could set foot on the French Republic especially in the dramatic contest context that we have come to recognize." The National Front accused Nicolas Sarkozy of hurriedly backpedaling and denying visas to the Muslim preachers.
Qaradawi provided the religious sanction for the suicide bombing campaign against Israel. In January 2009 he claimed that Hitler had put the Jews in their place and that the Holocaust was "divine punishment". He had also warned former French president Jacques Chirac not to interfere with the veil in French educational institutions.
Sarkozy was quick to go on French television and report that "I've indicated to the Emir of Qatar himself that this gentleman would not be welcome on the territory of the French Republic. Qaradawi has Qatari citizenship and is a star on the Emirate's Al Jazeera television channel.
The International Union of Muslim scholars, a group that Qaradawi heads expressed regret at the decision ."We are surprised, and we admonish France for refusing to grant Sheikh Yusuf Qaradawi a visa. He is a moderate scholar who contributed to combating extremism in Islamic thoughts," said the union's secretary general, Sheikh Ali al-Qaradaghi.
Qaradaghi noted that the union had condemned the killings in France and considered France an allied country that had played a major positive role in the Arab spring especially in Libya and the expectation was that France would display more of the same in Syria.

Neil Sheldon successful in Court of Appeal in cases concerning leave to remain under Article 8
Neil Sheldon was instructed by the Government Legal Department to defend against two appeals to the Secretary of State for the Home Department's (SSHD) decision not to grant leave for them to remain in TZ (Pakistan) v Secretary of State for the Home Department : PG (India) v S Secretary of State for the Home Department (2018).
The Court of Appeal considered the principles set out by the Supreme Court in R. (on the application of Agyarko) v Secretary of State for the Home Department [2017] UKSC 11, a case in which Neil Sheldon was also instructed by the GLD (more information here). These appeals utilised the application of Article 8 when non-settled migrants seek leave to remain outside Immigration Rules, which rely on their established relationships with British citizens whilst their immigration status was precarious.
The First-tier Tribunal's approach to adopt an evaluative mechanism, consistent with the Supreme Court decision and following existing good practice was considered correct. Their decision to uphold the SSHD's decision not to grant leave to remain was agreed with by the Court of Appeal. The appeals were dismissed.

Expedia has acquired Travelocity, one of its rival online travel agencies, from the travel technology company Sabre.
The deal, which costs $280 million in cash, effectively cements an agreement reached by the two travel sites in 2013, whereby Expedia would handle most of Travelocity's North American operations while Travelocity would drive additional Web traffic to Expedia.
As noted by Re/code, the merger continues a consolidation in the online booking industry, which has seen notable acquisitions from Expedia's chief competitor, Priceline, including its purchase of the popular restaurant reservation service OpenTable last year.
As for what happens to Travelocity now that it's part of Expedia, well, it's likely to be business as usual for the "roaming gnome" company. The former is expected to continue operating with no significant front-end changes under the latter's umbrella, which also covers a number of other online travel agencies including eLong, Hotels.com, Hotwire, and Trivago.
The official iOS app of Expedia and Travelocity are both available on the App Store for free for iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad.

letters to a young writer (myself):
Whenever I feel like a slacker for wanting to be a writer, I remember that writing is harder than anything else I've ever done, and makes me want to rip my fingernails off with a rusty spoon.
Oh sure, there's a sensuous pleasure to it - a melodic feeling when I hit my groove and the rhythmic clacking of the keys starts to find a beat - but as one writer once said, "nobody really likes writing... they like having had written."
This is because to write - to really, really write - you've got to work at it. You have got to sit down every day, for hours, and write... whether you feel like it or not. And when you don't feel like it (which is often), there is no one there to say, "Now see here, old chap. I'm really going to have to ask you to get cracking."
Even that is not what makes it so hard, though. What makes it so hard is that it's creative, which means that while I'm doing it, there is no routine to fall into. When I was tree-planting (which was horrendously difficult work), I could lose hours and hours to the rhythms of slit-slide-pounding trees into the soil. I could rest in muscle-memory and habit.
No such luck, with writing.
Writing - good writing - lives forever on the grating, serrated edge of new-habit formation. It burns real calories and drains me in much the same way as physical work. The habit of writing does form instincts and skills, but never the sort of muscle-memory that would allow me to check out and drift off to mental-euphorically lie on that beach in Australia. Nonetheless, there are few things in life that give me more pleasure than the hundreds of thousands of words I've arranged over the past several years, and little that excites me more than the thought of arranging a few hundred thousand more next year.
There is a temptation, inculcated in me by the warped values of my culture, to de-value the work I do as a writer - to say that until someone pays me big money for it, I'm just a self-indulgent slacker who can't handle a real job. But when I think of the glorious, sensuous tortures that lie in store for me over this next year of writing dangerously... well, I shiver with delight at the horrible, horrible struggle that awaits. It is a good and awful thing to be a Maker.
"Don't get discouraged because there's a lot of mechanical work to writing. … I rewrote the first part of A Farewell to Arms at least fifty times. … The first draft of anything is shit. When you first start to write you get all the kick and the reader gets none, but after you learn to work it's your object to convey everything to the reader so that he remembers it not as a story he has read but something that has happened to himself. That's the true test of writing." — Ernest Hemingway

When God steps in, what does it look like?
It's an old joke. A man of deep faith is threatened by a deadly flood. As the rising waters are lapping against his front stoop, a fire engine pulls up in front, and the driver calls out, "Sir! Wade over to the truck and we'll take you to safety!" To which the man replies, "No, thank you. God will save me!" The truck drives off.
Four hours later in the evening darkness the waters have reached the man's living room. Two rescuers come to the door in a rowboat. "Sir, climb in the boat, and we'll get you out of here!" Again, the man refuses. "Thank you, but you can go on about your business. God will save me!" The boat drifts away.
Early the next morning the water has risen to the roof top and the man is clinging to the chimney. A helicopter roars overhead and hovers above the man, and a rescue cable slowly drops toward him. Over a loudspeaker the pilot cries out, "Grab hold of the cable and we'll reel you in!" But the man waves the pilot away. "I'll be fine," he cries over the roar of the helicopter. "You can go rescue someone else! God will save me!" The pilot reluctantly flies off, and minutes later the flood waters pull the man free from the chimney and he drowns.
What is it we're expecting God to do? What does God's intervention look like? We probably imagine that, when God steps in, it looks like Hollywood, complete with angelic choirs and special effects. But I suspect that far more often God's little miracles look like fire engines, rowboats and helicopters. The moral: God's not bound by our expectations. He'll show His hand in unexpected ways!
In a Development Department, especially in one grounded upon a shared faith, unity seems to me to be essential to effectiveness. (Maybe you've noticed how often the theme of unity is highlighted in the New Testament.) Unfortunately, even in faith-based organizations, the self-centeredness and pride that can destroy unity lurk not far beneath the surface — human nature being what it is.
What about you? Have you experienced the power of a unified team — or the pain of one plagued by division and disunity? Have you had to stand on principle even at the cost of unity among your colleagues? Love to hear your experiences.
Why Do We People of Faith Stress Out Sometimes?
Calendar year 2013 is over, and as fundraisers we're still catching our breath…maybe hoping the mail that shows up in the next few days will bring a few more checks with those 2013 postmarks we're hoping for. And as we reflect on the year just past — can we talk? — we have to ask, "If we trust God so much, why do we stress out so often?" I suspect the reason the Bible tells us not to stress out ("Be anxious for nothing," says Paul…Why worry about food and clothing, asks Jesus) is because worry is a natural part of the human condition. I think, therefore I obsess! It's another classic case of Christian cognitive dissonance: we believe it's all up to God but we behave as if it's all up to us.
As fundraisers we live in this tension: how much is God, how much is me? (A pastor friend of mine used to call this "living between 'already' and 'not yet'" — between what God has already done and what He has yet to do.) Yes, we trust God. Yes, we make our plans, work to our best ability and take both our failures and our successes too personally.
So how's your balance between faith and freak-out? Any resolutions in 2014 to find that elusive balance between the serene walk of faith and the roller coaster ride of excessive self-reliance?
Happy New Year, fellow pilgrims!
What Does "Devo" Mean to You?
If you are, um, of a certain age, "Devo" was an 80′s band with flowerpots on their heads. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, rest assured that (as Dave Barry would say) I am not making this up. Just go up to someone over the age of 50, say "We are not men, we are Devo," and see what they say.
However, this blog has nothing to do with that Devo. In my experience as a fundraiser at a faith-based non-profit, "devo" has two meanings. It can be shorthand for "Development," as in "I work in the Devo Department." Paradoxically it can also be short for "Devotions" which (to the uninitiated) is a spiritual gathering that many Christian workplaces schedule regularly (as in "What time is devo?"). The purpose is prayer and mutual encouragement. The term may sound odd, I realize, but it's something many of those of us working in these organizations take for granted.
I think these two definitions of Devo, "development" and "devotions," the professional and spiritual, go hand in hand. But I have to admit that sometimes our fundraising profession and our "faith profession" exist in uneasy alliance, and holding them in proper balance can involve a kind of cognitive dissonance. It's precisely that balance that Devomania exists to address.

Transfer of schools from Central Tibetan Schools Administration to Department of Education, Central Tibetan Administration
The Union Cabinet has given its approval to transfer schools run by the Central Tibetan Schools Administration (CTSA) to the Department of Education (DoE), Central Tibetan Administration (CTA) or any registered society run by DoE, CTA over a three year period. The Indian teaching and non-teaching staff of CTSA would be given an option to join the Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan/ Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti / Central Board of Secondary Education /Demonstration schools of National Council of Educational Research and Training as and when CTSA schools are transferred to DoE, CTA.
CTA would be provided funds at the rate of Rs. 43 crore per annum plus an annual increment of 5 percent to CTA. The transfer would benefit 2220 residential students and 6455 day scholars through better focus on their educational needs.
There would be a potential saving of Rs. 69.29 crore for the Government of India over a 5 year period.
CTSA was established as a Society in 1961 with the objective of establishing, managing and running schools for educating the children of Tibetan refugees who migrated to India while preserving Tibetan culture and heritage and promoting the Tibetan language.

Last Friday, I shared one of the most special quilts I've ever made. Now I'm sharing the bonus quilt. Here's a look at the two of them side by side.
The original quilt was made with stitch and flip squares. By sewing an extra line at each corner, I ended up with a whole pile of bonus units that I used to make a second quilt. I just love the interesting movement that's created by the split pinwheels. It reminds me of a kaleidoscope.
There's something really special about getting two quilts in one. It almost feels as though Joy and I each have the same quilt, and any time I use mine, there's a part of her here with me. And even though she's 1500 miles away, she can wrap up in a hug from me anytime with her quilt.
I named the quilt Serendipitous since it came from Missouri Star's Serendipity pattern. The name fits, because the start of our friendship was certainly serendipitous. I used the same binding fabric as Joy's quilt, which just completes the feeling that they're two peas in a pod. Kind of like us.
I used all of the scraps to piece the back of my quilt. Along the bottom are the three blocks that were leftover from Joy's quilt. I think this is my favorite pieced back that I've made so far. I really like the string piecing in a controlled colorway. It gives me ideas for making a whole quilt top that way.
One of the things I love most about quilting is how it brings us all a little closer together. There's just nothing better than sharing a quilt between friends.
I really like that this pattern let me make two different quilts at the same time. Have you ever made a quilt like that? I would love to hear your ideas for more 2-for-1 quilts.

IG Quilt Fest has come to an end. I think this last week may have been my favorite. It allowed me to take a look at quite a few different quilts. I really appreciate Amy Ellis taking the time to host this online event.
I am a big believer in labeling my quilts. It adds a personal touch and ensures the history won't be forgotten. I write my labels by hand and sew them in with the binding. I almost always make some extra binding so I can use it to frame the label.
I started this when I had only been quilting for a couple of months. Debbie Jeske of A Quilter's Table organized a swap of Polaroid quilt blocks. It looked like a ton of fun, so I joined in. I loved sewing the blocks, but it was a bit overwhelming when I received all of my swap blocks in the mail. There was so much trimming to do, and I didn't have a clear vision of what I wanted to do with them. So, they went in a box and have lived there ever since. Pulling them out for this picture reminded me how cute they are, bu I'm still not sure what I want to do with them. Perhaps if I start trimming them, the inspiration will come.
I have to admit, my favorite finish changes pretty often. At the moment, I'm torn between two quilts. This is the first one. I designed this quilt and made it to surprise my husband. I spent all of last year working on it in little bits of time when I was sure I wouldn't get caught. I pulled it off, and I presented it to him for Christmas. He had no idea I had been working on it and was amazed that I could be so sneaky.
This is the second quilt vying for the coveted status of favorite finish. I've been planning this quilt for years. I made it for my dear friend Joy and just gave it to her last week. This quilt is special because I was able to include so many personal details in it. I only wish I could have given it to her in person.
The pattern for this quilt is Serendipity by Missouri Star Quilt Company. You can find it as a video tutorial, a single printed pattern, and in both the digital and print versions of BLOCK Magazine Volume 1, Issue 5.
I am inspired by seeing all of the beautiful things other quilters create. I love that we live in a time when it is so easy to share our work. This Modern Chevron Baby Quilt was made by Kirsty of Bonjour Quilts. I first saw it several years ago, and it has been floating around in the back of my mind every since. Kirsty kindly gave me permission to share it for my inspiration post. If you are also inspired and would like to make this quilt, check out her tutorial.
I enjoy the quiet process of hand binding. It's so peaceful. I take tiny stitches, so it takes me quite a while to make it all the way around a quilt. I can always count on Ruth to keep me company and take some naps while I stitch away.
One of the ways I have the most fun with fabric is making pieced backs. I enjoy coming up with creative ways to use up the scraps.
Sometimes you get an idea in your head that you know is a little bit crazy, but it just won't leave. This is one of those times. I was playing in EQ7 and came up with this design. It will be king sized, and all of the pieces will finish at 1" wide. I've been collecting fabric for over a year now, and I'm nearly ready to start. Wish me luck!
I started this Talkin' Turkey quilt in a workshop with Bonnie Hunter last July. It's been a slow process because there are so many pieces! I finally got the top put together a couple weekends ago, and I started quilting it last Friday. The quilting design is Winds of Change by Sarah Ann Myers. The pattern for Talkin' Turkey can be found in Bonnie Hunter's book String Fling.

The quilt festival on Instagram continues. I had such a positive response last week that I thought I would share this week's pictures, as well. I got a little bit behind, but I'm all caught up with the photo prompts now.
My stacks are pieces for the next quilt on my list. I'm making a scrappy version of Elizabeth Hartman's Roller Rink quilt from her book Modern Patchwork. As soon as I finish Talkin' Turkey, this quilt will be my primary project. I started it at retreat in October, and I'm getting excited to pull it back out.
I started Easy Street as a mystery with Bonnie Hunter in 2012. It then languished in the closet until the end of 2015 when I pulled it out to finish. Once I had the top together, I decided I needed to use up the scraps in my craziest back to date. That back felt like it would never get done, but I couldn't be happier with how it turned out. It feels so good to have this quilt finished and to be able to sleep under it every night. You can see the front of this quilt here.
My favorite thing about solids is the way they show off the quilting. Here are four quilts with solid fabrics on the backs. I quilted the top two with edge to edge designs, and I custom quilted the bottom two. Click the links below to see the fronts of the quilts.
I love cool colors. My favorite is purple, followed closely by blue then green. My mom made this wonderful quilt for me in all three of my favorite colors. I often wrap it around my legs while working at the computer.
My Rowenta has certainly seen better days. Interestingly, I've had the bottom taped on for a year and a half now, and it's still going strong. I have no plans to replace it anytime soon.
I also keep a sad iron in my studio. It's wonderful for making my seams really crisp and flat. I press with the regular iron first, then I let the sad iron rest on the seam while I press the next piece. It's amazing how much of a difference it makes.
I keep my old needle cases to store used quilting needles. Whenever I replace my needle, the used needle goes in the case labeled "old". When it's full, I toss it in the trash and pull out a sharpie to write "old" on my newly emptied needle case, and the cycle continues. I find this quicker and easier than working with a separate sharps container.
Instead of a quilt, I thought I would share my new ironing board topper. I have been planning to make a big ironing board for a long time, and I am beyond thrilled that it's finally done. It holds so many pieces! After making do with the few flat spaces in an old warped board, this giant board feels like heaven. Many thanks go to my dad for helping me build it.
Speaking of my dad, here he is! Last Tuesday, my parents and I went on a photo shoot. Dad and I held the quilts, and Mom took the pictures. It was a fun day.

I'm having a hard time parsing the Rick Nash to the Rangers deal here.
I mean, I get that he was highly coveted and why the Rangers wanted him. I'm just baffled by the return that Scott Howson got for him.Brandon Dubinsky? Artem Anisimov? Tim Erixon? Ok, I get the first round pick. But Dubinsky and Anisimov have always left me ... underwhelmed. Tim Erixon I know nothing about. He might be the sleeper in this deal.
But overall, Howson got jobbed, which leaves me asking why the hell does he make this deal? Nash had a NTC with the Blue Jackets. He could decide where he wanted to play. Even if he gave Howson a limited number of options, it still begs the question why Howson made this deal, and why he made it now.
A few thoughts on this.
I've heard that the BJ's ownership wanted Howson to cut costs. My response to that statement is that there are better ways to cut costs than to trade your best player. Shirley there are other players on the team that could be moved to relieve costs.
Nash's salary was 200k less than his cap hit this year, and the same next season.
James Wisniewski makes 7 mil this season at a cap hit of 5.5 mil. If the BJs wanted to cut salary, trading Wisniewski makes more sense to me than trading your best player. Granted, it's tougher to do with a Wisniewski than a Nash, but if I'm Howson, that's one direction I'm looking
Dealing Fedor Tyutin is another place to cut costs
If you're getting lowball offers, you can always wait it out, and make the deal when it better suits your needs.
Unless Howson was specifically told to gut the team, beginning with its captain, the only justification for this deal seems to be that he wants the team to suck for the next decade to stockpile high first round picks and rebuild through the draft. I mean, look at their coach if you want any evidence of that theory.
That said, the Jeff Carter Experiment lasted less than a season. Howson got the business on that trade as well. The whole thing reeks of desperation. At least I can understand - and empathize - with that.

The Wild are a Boring, Trapping Team
I hate to break it to you all, but it's true. We all know it. The Wild are the most boring team in the NHL. All they do is trap, and Mike Yeo is a mere disciple of Jacques Lemaire. I mean, the Wild even trap in warmups! It's why Parise and Suter won't make a lick of difference to the success of this team. Parise's offensive skills will be obliterated on the Wild, and Suter, well, he fits right in!
So sayeth Bill Watters on Marek vs. Wyshynski this week. So it must be true, right?
Hold your horses. First off, on paper, I'm sure Watters might have a point. The Wild was one of the lowest scoring teams in the NHL and had decent defense. Based on that alone and not watching a single game, he might be headed in the right direction.
If he weren't sitting on his horse backwards. And if the horse weren't blind. And he wasn't wearing a blindfold. Then he might be headed in the right direction.
This is something that chaps my ass, when national "talent" looks at a stat sheet, sees the word "Wild" at the bottom of the goals scored column, and thinks "trap." Five or ten years ago, they might have had a point. After all, Jacques Lemaire IS the father of the Neutral Zone Trap, right? (Actually, he isn't, but let's not get pedantic for the time being.)
Todd Richards. tried to implement a system that was aggressive and offensive in nature. He made a point not to trap, but the team retained the label. Mike Yeo has a more pragmatic view of the game and will use trap variants from time to time, but generally speaking, his game is about aggressive forechecking, lots of back pressure, and trying to disrupt the other team's flow. To get them off their game.
So why didn't the team score last year? For one thing, they lost key players in droves. Guillaume Latendresse, Pierre-Marc Bouchard, and Mikko Koivu all went down at inopportune times in the season. The Wild also had an atrocious power play percentage, scoring only 15.1% of the time. Fourth worst in the NHL. When Koivu came back, the Wild, strangely enough, got better.
In a highly unscientific study, I determined the Wild scored 2.375 goals per game in the first half of the season, and 1.95 in the second half. That's a drop of 0.4 goals per game. Of course, this piece isn't about how the Wild need to score more goals or how the health of the team impacts its ability to score, otherwise, I'd be geeking out on stats right now.
The point is that there's a reason the Wild didn't score goals last season, and it has nothing to do with the style they play. Which isn't a trap.
There are plenty of other teams that do use a Neutral Zone Trap that Watters can watch if he wants to see how that game is played.

Labels: Neutral Zone Trap, Wild are Boring
Craig Leipold: Hypocrite or Hero?
There's been some concern going around the hockey blogosphere of late that Craig Leipold is a big, fat hypocrite. Why, you ask? Well I'll tell you!
Back in April, at the conclusion of the NHL season, Craig Leipold made the statement that NHL teams weren't going to survive long term if they kept paying players exorbitant salaries. Allow me to quote April 11, 2012's Star Tribune article:
We're not making money, and that's one reason we need to fix our system. We need to fix how much we're spending right now. [The Wild's] revenues are fine. We're down a little bit in attendance, but we're up in sponsorships, we're up in TV revenue. And so the revenue that we're generating is not the issue as much as our expenses. And [the Wild's] biggest expense by far is player salaries.
That's like saying we don't have an eating problem, we have an exercising problem. Not exactly, but I think you see where I'm going with this. The Wild's owner is saying that player salaries have to come down for the long-term success of the League, especially in smaller markets that don't have obsessive fans (read: Phoenix).
On July 4 of this year, all hell broke loose. At least in New Jersey, Nashville, and the remaining 26 teams who pursued both Zach Parise and Ryan Suter aggressively. Every fan of the Wild who uses Twitter sat dumbfounded Wednesday morning, sending forth profound missives such as "I ... uh ... I ... holy shit" as the realization set in.
Chuck Fletcher was immediately hailed as the salesman of the century for luring two outstanding players away from the only rinks they've ever known. And Craig Leipold made abundantly clear he was making a statement. Something like: "Don't Mess with The Wild."
Uncle Moneybags wrote two checks totalling $20 million. Think about that. I won't make that in my lifetime, and he wrote checks of that amount as if it were an afterthought.
Craig Leipold may have cried poor in April, but doesn't it make him a hypocrite to bemoan this lack of cash, and then lay out enough money to buy, I don't know, 40 Ferraris? Well, yes. And no.
For one thing, it may be true from a certain point of view that the League is hemorrhaging money and needs to restructure the CBA to ensure the continued health of the League. Then again, someone was going to pay Parise and Suter ridiculous amounts of money. Might as well be the Wild, right?
That's kind of a weak argument, but I do think that a lot of the objection comes from the fans of teams who lost out on the Parise/Suter Sweepstakes. They have every right to question what happened, but as long as the current CBA is in place, teams will use whatever loophole they can find.
Also, let's look at the source. Leipold is Gary Bettman's buddy (or so I've heard). Leipold claiming to be in the poorhouse was surely a gambit that Bettman was playing. The Wild were probably the perfect team to do this with: out of the playoffs multiple years, midwest, smallish market. I'm sure if Bettman could go back in time, he'd have tried to get, say, the Predators' owner to get the narrative out there, or maybe the Blues' owner.
I think there's another key point here: Lou Lamoriello was crying foul of long-term contracts that gamed the system, then offered one to Ilya Kovalchuk. For which the League promptly swatted his backside. I think Lou knew exactly what he was doing and was willing to pay a price to make a point. And the fact is that GMs and owners will do what they can under the rules in place. Don't like how some GMs and owners use the rules to their advantage? Then change the rules. But get player buy-in first.
Personally, I go back and forth on this one. I admit that I'm torn. On the one hand, I don't like it from a big-picture point of view. On the other, I love it as a fan of the Wild.

Whoa Nellie: Wild Not Contenders Yet
Some of you guys need to tap the breaks a little bit.
Is the Wild a better, more competitive team today than it was on July 3rd? Absolutely.
Should a return to the playoffs be a prediction for the 12-13 season (however and whenever it occurs)? Yes, I think that's more than fair.
Are they a Cup contender? Come on.
Now, that doesn't preclude them from being next season's LA Kings or New Jersey Devils because they could.
But it's July 6th; I'm just trying to be reasonable.
The glass half full (GHF) set will point to the 20-7-3 start last season and say that only injuries derailed what could easily have been a playoff berth. So net adding to that roster should put us over the top.
The glass half empty (GHE) people will note that the team was certainly playing over its head until the injuries came along and slapped us all upside the head with the cold, dead fish of reality.
I'm sort of in the middle. I don't think they were a 100 point team last year (as a 20-7-3 record would indicate over a whole season). But I do think they could have been a playoff team after the start they got out to. Afterall, they did set the dubious record of being the team that was #1 overall in the league the latest day in the season that went on to fail to make the playoffs.
But that's really academic.
Which is why applying a "contender" status to the Wild right now is so silly. We aren't even all the way through free agent season. Add in Luongo, Nash, Ryan...there is still the potential for significant redistribution of power across the league.
I like what Fletcher has done wherever he's done stuff to the line up so far. A lot.
And we had a (precious) couple building blocks already in place.
And if he can make a move for another 2nd pair-type defenseman that would be dandy.
But only one team wins the Cup. Which means several really good teams don't win it - sometimes including the 'best' teams.
I just don't think it's reasonable to think we can consider ourselves among the Flyers and Kings and Canucks and Rangers just yet.
The "pinch me" moment for me when all that stuff was going down on Wednesday (we signed Parise and Suter, not sure if you heard that) was when I remembered that I was already excited about the future of the team - because of this great crop of young kids we have ready to make their pro debuts. The other stuff - where the Minnesota Wild signed Zach Parise and Ryan Suter, for example - was just gravy. Really, really nice, rich, velvety gravy to be sure, but gravy nonetheless.
Seriously think about it: if we'd only signed these five guys this summer, that makes the team better for the next couple years. But what's going to make the team go from better to great over the next several years is the additional influx of all these young bucks we've got pawing at the ground, nostrils flared.
Again, I'm expecting a playoff berth this season.
But, A) that's sort of a backhanded compliment since that puts the Wild in the 53rd percentile of the league and B) while I don't think it's reasonable to think they'll be contenders this year, I also don't think we'll have to wait too long until we can do.

The Day After: A New Dawn
If you're not from Minnesota, you just don't know what it's like to have hockey be such a large part of your identity, yet none of your State-produced biggest moments in the sport were at the NHL level. Minnesotans have this binary identity when it comes to hockey.
High school, college, Olympics, yeah we got that. But we've suffered the manifold humiliations of exporting many Sons of Minnesota - most of whom never amount to much at the NHL level, of never winning a Cup when we had team #1, then losing said team #1 (the blame for which, if we're being honest with ourselves, is at least partially our own fault), then watching team #1 move to, of all places, Dallas, then watching team #1 'win' a Stanley Cup in Dallas, then getting a new team #2, then experiencing a thrill in '03 with team #2 but knowing that was just a fluke, then seeing team #2's GM #1 grandly fuck up team #2 before owner #2 finally got wise and deep sixed him, then seeing team #2's GM #2 come in and find that both of his hands and one of his feet are tied behind his back and start the process of rebuilding without being allowed to use the word "rebuilding". Everything pertaining to our NHL-level experience with hockey is painted in some combination of the shades of embarrassment, underachievement and disgrace. That drove us crazy.
For example the first round draft picks for the Wild from 2004-2009 were:
04 AJ Thelen
05 Benoit Pouliot
06 James Sheppard
07 Colton Gillies
08 Tyler Cuma*
09 Nick Leddy**
*Still with the organization, jury's still out
**Traded by Fletcher in the unfortunate Cam Barker fiasco
You want to understand Wild fan angst, there it is.
But, as Minnesotans or fans of Minnesota teams, our misery is such that it's not just the local pro hockey team that haunts us. It's all the goddamn teams! The Twins have provided the best experience. But that experience appears to have peaked in 1991. There's a team called the Timberwolves that plays bouncy ball that showed a bit of a pulse last year from what I've gathered and might be on the upswing. Might. And don't even get me started on the Vikings. Only Bills fans get to talk to me about how shitty their experience with their team has been.
We don't just expect the worst, we know it's coming - because it always does. Every win is (or should be unless your powers of self-delusion are Biblical in magnitude) mitigated by the certainty that the team will figure out a way to undo the benefits and good feelings from that win sooner or later, and probably sooner.
It took my New York team-rooting wife years to understand my sports gestalt. When you've grown up with the Yankees and Rangers free agency is like the old joke about being on a 'seafood diet': when you see desireable free agents, you sign them. Same thing, at least in the Yankees' case, with championships. Not so, Minnesota teams fans.
Legitimacy in hockey, in other words, is something Minnesotans have been craving forever. Herb Brooks and the '80 team is great and a treasure and all that. But that's not purely a Minnesota accomplishment. We needed some kids from the likes of Massachusetts, for example, to make that happen.
Imagine if one of the things you prided yourself on wasn't recognized on that thing's biggest stage? You get cast as a quaint little addendum to that thing's living history. A footnote. A Vice President. That smarts. Why hasn't Minnesota - as natural a choice for a Winter Classic as there is in America - gotten one yet? The answer, we're told: not enough star power. Ouch. It's not enough that Canadians consider us Canada-south in terms of hockey passion, knowledge and participation? We don't have enough fair-haired, made-for-TV boys on the squad to warrant consideration?
So you'll forgive Wild fans if we've had a chip on our shoulders when it comes to hockey. We know more about the game than you do, but we never mattered on the scene enough to show it off.
Chuck Fletcher, I am reliably informed, is not from Minnesota.
As mentioned above, he inherited one big pile of dog shit of a team, and he should be able to look himself in the mirror today and honestly say that he's done one hell of a job rebuilding it.
He left a franchise that was given Sidney Crosby on a silver platter, and came to a franchise that had indelibly scorched the earth between the best player they had and a new contract for his continued services.
Learning that the stunning signings yesterday fit into the plan on which Fletcher sold Mikko Koivu when he re-signed two years ago(!) was mind-blowing to me. Foresight alone indicates a stark departure from his predecessor. But then the chutzpah (and, obviously some luck) to pull it off as well? Eat your heart out, Riser.
Because part of the fabric of being a Minnesota sports fan is this maxim: marquee free agents do not sign with your teams, at least not when their careers are still waxing. Brett Favre, yeah, but that was well into his wane and after he'd exposed himself in a text message, to boot.
So yesterday was about redemption and justification all in one. Think about that. Wild fans had been convicted of murder and spent time in prison, and yesterday our conviction got overturned and we got let out of the clink.
This sounds like I'm piling on. Like it can't possibly represent this much angst. But it does. And who knows, maybe they lock themselves out and lose the season. Maybe both players break their legs getting out of a golf cart. Maybe one of them finds Jesus and gives up hockey to go spread the good word. We don't know what the future will bring.
But, regardless, yesterday was a watershed moment in the psyche of Minnesota sports fans.
We who love this game of hockey so much, invest so much time and resources into the proliferation of it over the entire course of our lives, and have felt so repressed because even Corpus Christi, TX has its Brian Leetch, but all we had was the personal injury law firm of Parrish, Broten and Richards. Hey Parise said it himself: every kid who grows up in Minnesota wants to play for the Wild. It's different when it's some journeyman fourth liner saying that. But, when it's The Marquee Forward in an entire year's free agent class?
Now, all of North America knows about Minnesota and hockey.
And it was also a coming out party for Wild fans. We no longer have such a gaping hole in our first round pick history, if you think about these two players from the '03 draft's first round making up for a Thelen and a Sheppard, for example. Between Mikko and Zach and Dany and Mikael and Devin, we've got the makings of a legit first line. Roll that one around in your brains, Wild fans. Yeah our defense is still sub-par, but at least we have a clear #1 now - and a guy in Ryan who would be a #1 on many teams in the league - not just a guy who would only be a #1 with the Wild, the Isles and the Blue Jackets anymore. We have a general manager who, since the season ended, has upgraded all four of our forward lines and our top pairing on defense. Literally no other team in the NHL can say that.
Now all of North America knows about the Wild.
To the rest of you Minnesotans. You Vikes and T'Wolves and Twinkies fans who know about hockey, but for whom the Wild was just the team that plays over in St. Paul, and you go to Gopher or Bulldog or Huskies, or high school games for your hockey fix. It's okay to be a fan of the NHL. Maybe you got burned by the North Stars. Or maybe you've only ever needed high school hockey. Either way. We've got some great young debutantes, a good core of 3rd and 4th liners, and now, finally, some star power.
Hockey is what we do. Texas has its football. California has its baseball. Minnesota does hockey. Does it well enough to be proud of it. The Wild now, finally, embodies that pride.
It's a great day for hockey.

Fletcher Proving Deft at PR Game, Too
Chuck Fletcher - Manager of Expectations.
You know, that just sounds wrong.
Fuckin' Riser.
Hey, Fletcher doesn't have to have it printed on his business cards in order that it be an apt description.
We let the likes of Latendresse and Lundin walk, and with nary a whisper of dissent from the Wild faithful yesterday. We all "get" why Latendresse walked (Gui being at least partially responsible for why we swallowed his leaving so easily) and yet, when we saw the money he got from Ottawa, there could have been some "aww, come on Fletch. We could have paid him THAT!" While that's true, if a guy doesn't want to sign here, he doesn't want to sign here. And, in any event, I don't think I saw any whining of consequence about losing Latendresse - and his considerable potential.
Lundin, well, sadly Lundin is the Cal Coolidge of the Minnesota Wild. Barely healthy when he was here, and didn't really distinguish himself when he actually played. Did he actually leave? How would we know?
Hards back in the fold at a reasonable, tradeable $1.9M for 2 years is another solid if unspectacular move. And Kassian at $575k is equally non-constraining.
And Veilleux, sweet, simple, benign l'il Stevie Veilleux. A two-way deal for $600k is the veteran pro hockey player contract equivalent of me winning $5 on a scratch-off. In a word: inconsequential. In five words: not going to hurt us.
You know what else Fletcher didn't do yesterday? He didn't give Paul Gaustad $3.25M for 4 years to play ice hockey. He didn't give Dennis Wideman $5.25M for 5 years to do anything.
I like the Konopka signing. We've never had a tough guy who could garner a normal shift. And God knows we've had our share of tough guys. And Mitchell's a fairly benign player in his own right, but he takes pressure off the kids, should they fail to prove ready for the show this fall.
So, while the big fish are still out there swimming around, Fletcher was wily enough to land some smaller fish, bolstering the optics among the faithful that he is in fact awake and driving the ship.

St Georges plays a big role in the life of the Parish.
Find out what we offer and how you can get involved
Sunday worship is the Parish Eucharist at 11:15am.
Evening Prayer is held fortnightly (on the 1st & 3rd Sunday of the month) at 6:30pm.
Weekday worship sees St George's normally having celebrations of the Holy Eucharist on Wednesdays at 9:30am.
Can be arranged on demand. Please see our Contact page for details.
Sunday School is not currently active. In usual times, a Sunday School for school aged children is available during the Sunday morning service so that parents can take part in the service fully. Sunday School teachers and helpers are fully DBS-checked and the church operates a Safeguarding policy.
See our Calendar for upcoming events.
Fundraising activity is currently paused. Our fixed costs continue so please do consider making a donation for us to be able to pay our bills. See our Get Involved page for details.
Parishoner Life Events
Contact Us for details of how we can help with Baptisms, Weddings and Funerals.
Church Hall
Our church hall is used by various groups all year round, such as Pre-School, Brownies and Guides. It is also available for private hire. Contact Us for details.
Bishop John Perumbalath has agreed to come to Brentwood on January 9th 2022, to conduct a service of confirmation at 11.15am.
The term 'confirmation' relates to the fact that many of us were baptised (christened) as infants or very young children, unable to make a decision about faith for ourselves. Confirmation is the confirming of that decision made by our parents: that we have thought about faith and wish to make those same promises to follow Christ and play a part in His church as grown people.
You can read more about confirmation on the Church of England website here. Confirmation is possible for anyone who is old enough to know something of what that decision entails – normally that means that anyone from Year 6 to age 106 can be confirmed!
There will be preparation sessions – normally six, each about an hour long – beginning in October and, since they build on understanding it is important to attend all the sessions, although we can usually manage one or two catch-up times if someone really has to miss a 'class'. We encourage anyone to consider taking this step and becoming a Communicant member of the Church, able to share fully in the service of Holy Communion and willing to participate in the whole life of the Body of Christ in this place.
Local Faith Schools
St George's has close links to the local faith schools and we are able to validate Supplementary Information Forms (SIFs) required by them as part of the admissions process.
Applications run on a points system and priority will be given to parents and children who regularly attend church. The priority list for St Thomas of Canterbury School is displayed in our church porch and states that those who have attended St George's twice a month for the past 2 years will be considered first. Other local C of E schools follow a similar criterion and also ask questions about the contribution the family make to church life, e.g. helping with Sunday School and fundraising events. We keep an informal register of attendees each week as we see lots of different faces and would never be able to remember everyone.
St George's has always welcomed parents and children through its doors, and we hope you will enjoy being part of our church family regardless of school applications. Like any family or friendship, the more you put in, the more you get out of it – come and worship with us and help us keep St George's as a thriving hub of our community.

it's been a whirlwind tour. Albeit, a little short.
My band and I have enjoyed playing for you and bending your reality heaps. It was nice meeting all of you and getting to know you beyond the realm of internet handles.
We get to do it one last time..(for now) HERE. In Sydney.
Carriageworks here we come. 30th June. This Sat. Be there.
It is here. The 2nd episode of Twisted Tales. This time it's Bluebeard (not the pirate). In my twist, Bluebeard is a pervert who uses religion to destroy women and children…in my twist, he doesn't quite get away with it.
Queenie Chan believes that Bluebeard is really Henry VIII. So she's created this awesomeness…a circular manga that never never ends!
T'was a whirlwind first half of the tour and her Royal Madness, Yunyu has received some really kind reviews from the shows at Brisbane Powerhouse.
Melbourne and Sydney next up!! Love to see you peeps there!
This post was brought to you by Mr Goat, who is now performing with Her Royal Madness, Yunyu. He functions as a town-crier of sorts, but he doesn't cry, he mostly bleats.

Ask your angel to guide you to a number for a message. Don't think too long and hard about it, trust your first instinct.
319: Powerful spirits (ascended masters) are giving you ideas and thoughts - these thoughts feel like ideas that are popped into your head out of the blue. Pay attention to, and follow through on this guidance because they are the answers you seek about your life. They present the next step to take on your journey.
741: The angels ask you to stay positive about the steps you are taking or thinking about taking because you are going in the right direction. If you need extra confirmation, ask your angel to leave you a white feather in the next 7 days.
444: There are angels everywhere around you!! Take this as a confirmation, they are in your life! You are completely loved and guided and you have nothing to fear. If you truly trust your angels to guide you, you will release fears and worries about the future. Trust what will be, will be for your best.
811: As long as you act and think like you have money, all of your bills will be paid and you will experience a steady flow of abundance. Assume you have, and will always have enough to do what you want - you CO-create your future with the Universe. The Universe assumes you want what you most think about (if you feel poor, it gives you more of the same). So even if it feels like 'pretending' right now - pretend you have enough until you do.
374: Heaven is applauding the recent choices and actions that you've made. Keep going! You are entering an inspiring upward cycle.
191: Your positive thoughts are opening doors to the fruition of your dream career and/or ultimate lifestyle. Step through these doors without delay.


On Saturday 13th May we played the Gentle Giant Music Festival in Forth, Lanarkshire. Stuart Brodie is a bit of a veteran of the festival there but the rest of us didn't really know what to expect (and on or two had to be shown were it was on a map). I have to be honest, Forth was for me a place I would drive through on the way south and not somewhere i would have considered as having a vibrant music scene.
We were more than a little surprised by what we found.
The venue was larger and well set up - we were second on but by the time we did the venue was already filling up nicely. The PA was well set up and the sound from our side of the stage was pretty good - in the end we had a blast - as these photos hopefully show.

Was awesome to have you guys at the festival. Great set and hope you enjoyed it.


Scenes from a scary faith healing session.
"The one to be delivered shook at the apostle's touch, recoiled from his voice. His boots stamped the floor, wrung more sweat free from his jumping body. It was darkest bluest winter and the one was dressed for the weather, had kept his coat on the whole dance. The look in his eyes, the exhaustion, the fear, his and not his. He named some of his demons at sentence length, readying his voice for story, but the apostle stopped him."

Q: Using span tags in meta description & title, for dual languages I use both Persian characters and English in meta-description & title tag and I'm wondering if I can use span tags?
<meta name="description" content="The movie is Italy Italy - فیلم جدید">

<title>The movie is Italy Italy - فیلم جدید</title>

The span tags define the direction e.g.  for Persian characters.

A: You cannot include elements inside attribute values.
The start-of-element special character < does not have its usual special meaning there and is treated as a literal less-than symbol.
The <title> element may not contain child elements either.

A 30-year-old marketing executive with Royal Enfield and a woman working with Google were reported dead on Monday night after their motorcycle rammed into a jersey barrier on Golf Course Road in Gurgaon.
A 30-year-old marketing executive with Royal Enfield and a woman working with Google were reported dead on Monday night after their motorcycle rammed into a jersey barrier on Golf Course Road in Gurgaon. The incident reportedly took place at around 1 AM on the intervening night of Monday and Tuesday. The man was identified as Kevin Martin, who hailed from Mumbai and was working as a marketing executive at Royal Enfield's head office in Gurgaon's Sector 32. The woman has been identified as Anvita Kant, a 27-year-old engineer from Faridabad, who had joined Google about a month ago.
Kant was living in a PG accommodation in DLF 5 while Martin was staying in New Delhi. The police said that Martin was driving the Bullet motorcycle when the accident took place. "The two were travelling on Golf Course road, with Martin driving the Bullet motorcycle and Kant riding pillion. The bike collided with a jersey barrier near the Genpact underpass," Subhash Boken, PRO of Gurgaon police told The Indian Express.
Garg said the front was of the vehicle was completely shattered, indicating that they were probably travelling at a high speed. The police believes that Martin lost control of the bike which led to the accident. Kant was thrown off the vehicle and landed about 50 metres away while Martin was dragged with the motorcycle for around 25 meters.
Gurgaon reported the highest number of road accidents in Haryana between January 2017 and November 2017. Of the 10,625 accidents reported in Haryana in this period, Gurgaon alone accounted for 10% of the cases.
This came after state chief minister Manohar Lal Khattar launched the Haryana Vision Zero programme from Gurgaon with an aim to reduce accident fatalities to zero.
In the latest case, police said that while Martin was wearing a helmet, Kant doesn't seem to have been wearing one. They were rushed to Paras Hospital in Gurgaon after the accident but were declared dead. "No FIR has been registered so far since there has not been any indication of foul play, but we are conducting further investigations," police said.

Das Geheimnis des Totenwaldes ist ein dreiteiliger Kriminalfilm, der in Hamburg und Umgebung im Auftrag von NDR und ARD Degeto für Das Erste gedreht wurde. Vorlage waren die Göhrde-Morde von 1989 im niedersächsischen Staatsforst Göhrde und weitere Kurt-Werner Wichmann zugeordnete Straftaten. Über drei Jahrzehnte werden das Verschwinden einer Frau, die Suche nach ihr und die Auswirkungen auf ihre Familie thematisiert. Die Hauptrollen des Mehrteilers spielen Matthias Brandt, Karoline Schuch, August Wittgenstein, Silke Bodenbender, Nicholas Ofczarek und Hanno Koffler. Die Produktionsfirmen ConradFilm und Bavaria Fiction realisierten das Familien- und Kriminaldrama.

Handlung
Die Filme erzählen frei nach wahren Ereignissen die Geschichte eines Kriminalfalls, der nahezu dreißig Jahre lang ungelöst blieb, von der zunehmend verzweifelten Suche eines Bruders nach seiner Schwester und vom Leid der Angehörigen. Die Handlung ist dabei einerseits in Hamburg, andererseits in der fiktiven Stadt "Weesenburg" angesiedelt.

Im Sommer 1989 verschwindet Barbara Neder, die Schwester des hochrangigen Hamburger Polizisten Thomas Bethge, spurlos aus ihrem Haus nahe der Stadt Weesenburg in Niedersachsen. Kurz zuvor sind in einem nahegelegenen großen Waldgebiet zwei Paare grausam ermordet worden. Schnell gerät der Künstler Hans Lingner in Verdacht: Er wohnt am Rande des Waldes und ist ein Waffennarr. Einen Zusammenhang zwischen den Mordfällen im "Totenwald" und dem Verschwinden von Barbara Neder sehen die Ermittler zunächst nicht.

Die niedersächsische Polizei verdächtigt stattdessen bald den Ehemann Robert Neder, der sich gerade von seiner Ehefrau scheiden lassen wollte. Auch Tochter Theresa leidet stark unter dem Verschwinden der Mutter und den Verdächtigungen gegen den Vater. Deswegen hält auch sie bald den eigenen Vater für den Mörder der Mutter.

Derweil steht der Bruder der Vermissten, der Chef des Hamburger Landeskriminalamtes Thomas Bethge, vor der schwierigsten Aufgabe seines Lebens. Er will seine Schwester finden, darf aber als Hamburger Polizist nicht in Niedersachsen ermitteln. Unterstützung erfährt er von seinen Kollegen Anne Bach und Frank Behringer.

Selbst nach seiner Pensionierung recherchiert Thomas Bethge mit diesem Team intensiv weiter und gerät damit auf die Spur eines mutmaßlichen Serienmörders.

Produktion

Im Zeitraum vom 16. Juli 2019 bis zum 28. Oktober 2019 fanden die Dreharbeiten zu Das Geheimnis des Totenwaldes unter dem gleichnamigen Arbeitstitel in Hamburg und Umgebung statt.

Die Drehbücher schrieb der Drehbuchautor Stefan Kolditz. Als Fachberater unterstützten die ehemaligen Hamburger LKA-Chefs Wolfgang Sielaff und Reinhard Chedor die Produktion. Regie führte Sven Bohse und die Bildgestaltung übernahm Michael Schreitel.

Die Redaktion hatten NDR-Fernsehfilm-Chef Christian Granderath und Sabine Holtgreve (NDR) sowie Carolin Haasis (ARD Degeto). Für die Produktion zeichneten ConradFilm (Produzent Marc Conrad) und Bavaria Fiction (Produzent Jan Kaiser, Produzentin Maren Knieling) verantwortlich. Den Weltvertrieb übernahm Global Screen.

Episodenübersicht

Dokumentation

Anlässlich der Verfilmung wurde die dreiteilige Dokumentation "Eiskalte Spur" ausgestrahlt. Diese beleuchtet die wahre Geschichte rund um die Göhrde-Morde und das Verschwinden von Birgit Meier (im Film Barbara Neder). Unter anderem kommen Zeitzeugen wie der Bruder der Vermissten Wolfgang Sielaff (Thomas Bethge) und deren Mann Harald Meier (Robert Neder) zu Wort. Es werden zudem Originalaufnahmen der Ermittlungsmaßnahmen sowie damals gesendete Fernsehberichte u. a. aus Aktenzeichen XY gezeigt. Die Entdeckung von Birgit Meiers sterblichen Überresten in der Kfz-Grube der ehemaligen Garage des Täters wurde 2017 gefilmt und ist ebenfalls Teil der Dokumentation.

Trivia
 Viele Fahrzeuge im Film nutzen auf ihrem Kfz-Kennzeichen das Unterscheidungszeichen WG, das für die fiktive Stadt "Weesenburg" stehen soll. Tatsächlich wurde WG bis zur Kreisreform 1973 vom Landkreis Wangen (heute Landkreis Ravensburg in Baden-Württemberg) verwendet.
 Der fiktionale "Iseforst" wird auf einer in einer Szene gezeigten Landkarte auf dem Gebiet des Staatsforstes "Buschewald" bzw. genauer im "Bilmer Strauch" verortet. Die ebenfalls auf der Landkarte sichtbaren Stadtteile und weitere geographische Merkmale wie der Elbe-Seitenkanal entsprechen denen in Lüneburg und Umgebung.
 In einer Szene ist die Neuapostolische Kirche in Adendorf zu sehen. Zwischen dieser und dem Wohnhaus des mutmaßlichen Serienmörders liegt eine Laufentfernung von lediglich 1,8 km.
 In dem Teil des Films, der im Jahr 1989 spielt, ist als Polizeiauto ein Ford Mondeo zu sehen, der erst 1993 auf den Markt kam.

Three arrested for drug offenses
Published 7:00 am Tuesday, October 29, 2019
Three people in two drug related cases were arrested recently by the Pearl River County Sheriff's Department.
Sheriff David Allison said both cases were initiated on Oct. 10 when search warrants were served at two homes.
One of those cases involved serving a search warrant at a home located at 73 Cedar Hill Lane, Carriere, the home of 42-year-old Timothy Lester Kennedy. Kennedy was not home at the time of the search, where investigators recovered marijuana, digital scales, plastic bags, a firearm and brass knuckles along with other paraphernalia Allison said is associated with the sale or distribution of methamphetamine and marijuana.
Kennedy's girlfriend, 29-year-old Victoria Coco, 29, of 73 Cedar Hill Lane, was at the home at the time of the search and arrested for possession of paraphernalia, Allison said.
A warrant for Kennedy's arrest was issued, and the next day investigators returned to his home where he was found and arrested for possession of marijuana with intent to distribute and possession of a weapon by a convicted felon, the sheriff said.
As a result of his arrest on Oct. 11, Kennedy's previous bond for possession of methamphetamine with intent to distribute from February of this year was revoked. A hold with the Mississippi Department of Corrections was placed on Kennedy as a result of his arrest.
Also on Oct. 10, investigators served a search warrant at a home located at 100 Jackson Street in Carriere, the home of 25-year-old Matthew J. Palmisano. At the time of the search, he was not home at, but the investigators located a distribution amount of marijuana along with digital scales and some cash, Allison said.
After determining the evidence allegedly belongs to Palmisano, a warrant was obtained for his arrest for possession of marijuana with intent to distribute, the sheriff said. Palmisano turned himself in for that warrant on Oct. 15.

Advancing IoT Open Standards, EMQ Becomes OASIS Open's Newest Foundational Sponsor
by gg on March 8, 2022 in Technology & Internet
OASIS Open, the international open source and standards consortium, announced today that EMQ, an open-source Internet of Things data infrastructure software provider, is its newest Foundational Sponsor. EMQ joins IBM at the Foundational Sponsor level, supporting the mission of OASIS at the highest level.
The leading provider of open source software for IoT, EMQ, joined OASIS in 2020 to help advance the OASIS standard for the Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT) Protocol, the most commonly used messaging protocol for IoT. EMQ's support is critical in advancing the development and adoption of open standards and helps enable OASIS to fulfill its mission. To learn more about the development of MQTT specifications and the IoT messaging and EMQ's work on them, please read this blog post on EMQ's website.
"We are very pleased to welcome EMQ as a Foundational Sponsor," said OASIS Open Executive Director Guy Martin. "Since EMQ joined OASIS, they have been leading the cutting edge research using MQTT over QUIC and aiming to standardize it with the MQTT Technical Committee. We appreciate EMQ's generous support which demonstrates their commitment to MQTT and advancing open standards, and we admire their contributions to open source and the IoT industry."
As a pioneering and leading IoT data infrastructure software provider, EMQ has been working on the open source distributed MQTT broker compatible with MQTT 3.1 and 3.1.1 specifications since 2013. When MQTT became an OASIS open standard in 2016, EMQ actively engaged in the development and discussion of the MQTT 5.0 specification. In 2020, EMQ released EMQX, the world's first MQTT 5.0 server fully implementing the latest specification.
"We are excited to be a Foundational Sponsor of OASIS and to participate in the MQTT TC. We hope that the innovations EMQ has made to the MQTT server, including MQTT over QUIC, and MQTT Streaming, will become part of the MQTT open standards in the future. We look forward to working closely with OASIS to further drive the application of MQTT in the IoT industry and scenarios, to power the future-proof IoT solutions and enterprise digital transformation," said Feng Lee, CEO at EMQ.

Q: Python: Calling Inner Function Within Outer Function Within a Class I have a class object with a method function.  Inside this method function "animal", I have an inner function that I want to call.  But it appears that my inner function isn't being called because the correct result should return "hit here" instead of "sample text".
Here is my class code:
class PandaClass(object):
    def __init__(self, max_figure):
        self.tree = {}
        self.max_figure = max_figure

    def animal(self, list_sample, figure):

        def inner_function():
            if len(list_sample) == 0:
                return "hit here"
        inner_function()

        return "sample text"

I instantiate the class and call the animal function with code below:
panda = PandaClass(max_figure=7)
panda.animal(list_sample=[], figure=0)

I want the code to return "hit here" which would mean the inner function got run but instead I got "sample text".  Please let me know how I can correct this.

A: return always gives its result to the code that called it. In this case, the outer function called the inner function, so the inner function is returning it's value to the outer function.
If you want the outer function to return the result that the inner function returns, you need to do something like this:
    def animal(self, list_sample, figure):

        def inner_function():
            if len(list_sample) == 0:
                return "hit here"
        inner_func_result = inner_function()

        if inner_func_result:
            return inner_func_result
        else:
            return "sample text"
