Canon PIXMA iP8720 13x19-Inch Inkjet Printer Review
George Schaub | Dec 23, 2014 | 1 comments
For those seeking a larger print size at an affordable price, the Canon PIXMA iP8720 ($299) provides fast output (under two minutes for a 13x19 print) with very good image quality. The unit fits comfortably on a desktop (about 2 feet by 1 feet, given that you need more space for the catcher up front) and at 18 pounds or so, it does not require lifting from the knees, as do some 13x19-inch printers. Canon makes it very clear in their marketing, and in the features the unit has, and in some cases lacks, that this is a consumer-oriented printer. It goes head-to-head in price with the Epson Artisan 1430, and while this is not a comparative review, it's good to know the competitive landscape for your further investigations.

Epson SureColor P600 Pro Photo Printer First Look Review
Theano Nikitas | Oct 28, 2014 | 0 comments
Desktop photo inkjet printer release cycles are glacially slow compared to those of digital cameras so it was something of a surprise to learn Epson was going to launch the 13-inch SureColor P600 Professional Photo Printer this morning. While the printer model name has changed from Stylus Photo to SureColor to bring the line under a global branding umbrella, the P600 (P stands for "photo") takes its place at the top of Epson's 13-inch photo inkjet printer line, which continues to include Stylus Photo and Stylus Pro models.

Canon's 13x19"-sized printers, the PIXMA Pro9500 Mark II and PIXMA Pro9000 Mark II, have had a longer life than most, but have been replaced with two new models that are similar to the PIXMA PRO-1, introduced over a year ago. New features on both the pigment-ink PRO-10 and dye-ink PRO-100 include Wi-Fi and AirPrint compatibility, a new plug-in to make printing easier, and a refined inkset.
Epson Stylus Photo R3000: An Affordable, High-Quality Inkjet Printer
George Schaub | Feb 07, 2013 | First Published: Jan 01, 2013 | 0 comments
There are those who make prints often, and there are those who make prints occasionally. The split, you might think, is between amateur and pro, but that's not always the case. Some "amateurs" print as much if not more than some pros, and some pros make their own prints only when they have time, usually for their personal portfolio, but certainly not on every job. That's why pigeonholing the Epson R3000 in terms of intended audience, amateur or pro, is not so easy. It certainly delivers the quality you might expect from a higher-end Epson model, given its attributes, ink set, fine nozzles, and highly evolved print head, etc., but it's by no means a volume/production printer, given its single sheet feed for "art" paper, albeit with larger capacity ink carts than some past 13x19" printers, and roll feed capability.
Test Report Printers: The Epson Artisan 1430 A 13" Dye Inkjet Printer
There are two general types of inkjet printers available—dye ink and pigment ink. While pigments have the reputation of delivering longer print life, dye inks have the advantage of producing more vibrant colors. The longevity differences are not as much of an issue as they once were, however, with dyes making strides in that direction; in fact, in the case of the Artisan 1430, Epson is claiming up to 200 years in storage, and 98 years on display, and that certainly rivals pigment durability.

Canon PIXMA PRO-1: A New 12 Pigment-Ink, 13x19" Printer
George Schaub | Apr 06, 2012 | First Published: Mar 01, 2012 | 2 comments
The new Canon PIXMA PRO-1 is a 13x19" pigment-ink printer that makes fine quality prints in a price range that could be considered quite fair for what you get ($999). Aimed at avid photographers and enthusiast printmakers, as well as pros choosing to do their own mid-size prints, the PIXMA PRO-1 fills a void left by HP's abandonment of the category and directly challenges Epson. The printer offers ease of use, solid performance, 12 ink cartridges, and all in all seems to improve upon 13" printers of the past. Our tests were aimed at determining if the PIXMA PRO-1 could be a solid contender in its class and if there were upgrades or new workflow techniques that would differentiate it from the competition.
Epson Stylus Photo R2000: A 13" Pigment-Ink Printer
David B. Brooks | Mar 14, 2012 | First Published: Feb 01, 2012 | 18 comments
Pigment inks, CD disc printing, and moderate cost have kept me a loyal user of Epson Stylus Photo printers. I attribute this to the different set of ink colors compared to what's found in Epson's professional pigment-ink printers. With the R1900, and now the new R2000, besides the standard cyan, magenta, and yellow, there is red, blue, and orange ink in the set. I find this is favorable to reproducing all my favorite photography subjects, including people, flowers, and landscapes. But, you might ask, without support for black-and-white grayscale printing, how do I get by? Well, I actually use my R1900 to print black-and-white images and a good part of my testing with the R2000 involved printing black-and-white photographs as well.
Epson Stylus Pro 4900: Sheet Or Roll, For Fine Art, Commercial, And Studio Photographers
George Schaub | Aug 18, 2011 | First Published: Jul 01, 2011 | 1 comments
I took on this review assignment because I've had considerable history with printing, both silver and digital, and printing with Epson printers. Over the past few years this interest has led me on an odyssey through various printers, profiling, and a considerable amount of (early) frustration. My emphasis has been on monochrome printing and those who share in this interest and who have attempted black-and-white printing in the past understand the numerous obstacles it can present. Those include, but are not limited to, unwanted color casts, gloss differential in deep black areas and some tonal borders, poor deep black reproduction (accompanied by equally poor highlight repro), a lot of poor paper surfaces, and the hassle and waste of switching from matte black to photo glossy inks. Color printers face these as well, plus the challenges of color balance, casts, skin tone reproduction, highlight bias, green shadows, and more. Of late I have printed with the Epson Stylus Pro 3800, 3880, and 4800 models, the 3800 being my studio workhorse for years and the 3880 the model that many photo schools and workshops at which I've taught use as a mainstay student and production printer.

A Steam Leak Confirms That the Long-Awaited Release is Finally Taking Place
By Sandeep Kumar On Nov 9, 2022
A new Steam update has more or less confirmed the release of a long-rumored, long-awaited game on the PC digital storefront. Historically, there were few ports for Steam. If a game was going to be released on PC, it would usually be released on PC the same day, not weeks, months, or years later.
This is no longer the case, as more console-exclusive games, particularly PlayStation-exclusive games, are getting PC ports. Steam, like every other platform, is beginning to see post-release ports.
The next notable port to arrive on Steam appears to be coming via PlayStation. More specifically, it appears that PlayStation is finally bringing Returnal to Steam after months of rumors, reports, and leaks pointing to a PC port of the PlayStation 5 exclusive.
The rumors began earlier this year when a game titled "Oregon" appeared in the Steam database. Many people suspected this game was a codename for Returnal for a variety of reasons. Fast forward to the present day, and a Steam database update has changed Oregon to Returnal.
In other words, there is no longer any room for doubt; Returnal is coming to Steam; the only question is when. An update like this suggests it will be available soon, but for the time being, this is just speculation.
Returnal, developed by Housemarque and published by Sony, was released on April 30, 2021, and received an 86 on Metacritic. It's unclear how well the game sold because we haven't had new numbers in over a year, but it's clear it didn't set the world on fire despite receiving positive reviews and winning a variety of awards by the end of 2021.
"Selene finds herself fighting for her life after crash-landing on a shape-shifting alien planet. She is defeated over and over, having to restart her journey every time she dies "reads an official game description.
"The planet and your equipment change with each cycle in this roguelike shooter, forcing you to adapt your play style and take on evolving challenges. You can explore the shifting labyrinth of Atropos on your own or with another player in online Co-op Mode.
When you're ready, challenge yourself to the Tower of Sisyphus, an ascending gauntlet of increasingly dangerous phases designed to put your combat skills to the test."
At the time of publication, none of the parties involved had made any comments. If this changes, we will make sure to update the story. Meanwhile, while this update/leak is fairly definitive, keep in mind that it is not official and should thus be taken with a grain of salt.

Kevin Loftin Riverfront Park, Belmont, N.C.
By Michael Miyamoto, LASN
The principals of Asheville Playgrounds don't mind being different when it comes to designing and building playgrounds. In fact, they prefer it. Their creations are atypical play structures because they are mostly made of a material not usually seen in most play equipment -- natural wood. One of their latest projects was assembled at the Kevin Loftin Riverfront Park in Belmont, N.C.
Truckloads of pre-built pressure treated decks, pallets of trimmed "twigs" and other materials are required for all of the company's play structures, deliveries that usually attract lots of stares and questioning looks from bystanders. That was the case at this site, said Evelyn Anderson and Jerry Hajek, co-owners of the firm. Scott Mcfarlane is their lead carpenter.
Instead of building playgrounds with metal, plastic and other traditional materials, the principals of Asheville Playgrounds prefer to go an unconventional route - their finished products are comprised almost exclusively of natural wood.
Based in Asheville, N.C., the company's playground models are becoming increasingly popular. For example, take a look at one of their most recent developments - the playground in the Kevin Loftin Riverfront Park in Belmont, N.C.
The client was the city of Belmont, a suburban community in Gaston County, located in the central part of North Carolina, and the playground was built there in March-April 2016.
City officials preferred a natural style playground, and the company presented three different designs at various costs. The city chose one of the builder's ADA-ramped designs.
A challenge to this particular project cropped up almost immediately.
"An interesting complexity to the job was that the existing slope of the property that we were given, and which I used to gain height on the decks without using as many ramps as normally would be necessary, turned out to be different once the grading had been done," said Evelyn Anderson, co-owner of the playground design-build company. "So we literally had to redesign some of the ramp work on the fly."
But this wasn't too much of a problem, as ADA ramps were built up to the six-foot height of the deck. That was one of the benefits of being able to work with an old-fashioned material -- wood.
"We're definitely not your typical 'metal and plastic' assembly, and we're proud of the fact that we offer clients our vision of a natural playground," said Jerry Hajek, also a co-owner, who considers all of the company's creations "hybrids."
The playground company is small, with Scott Macfarlane as the lead carpenter. The three of them completed the woodworking, construction and installation of the Loftin Park playground themselves.
The trio design and build custom, handcrafted playgrounds and tree houses for parks, schools, churches and homes. Its specialty is rustic, natural playgrounds for residential or commercial use.
A dedication ceremony for the Kevin Loftin Park playground was staged in July, and the co-owners of the design-build firm then left for three months to construct a similar project in Land O' Lakes, Fla., near Tampa.
The decks, ramps and stairs were built beforehand in the company's shop and later transported to the site. But everything else was constructed at the park. The design-builder uses locust for the support posts, wood that is not straight like conventional dimensional lumber.
The company buys the locust in western North Carolina, and has several sources that cut and provide the tree trunks. All the posts and handrail tops are locust. The rustic pickets, made of mountain laurel and rhododendron branches, are all placed by hand. In addition to natural wood, the design-build company used some pressure-treated lumber, recycled plastic lumber and composite decking.
Each locust post is peeled by hand and sanded to a smooth finish. The locust and the pickets are not treated. The locust is naturally rot resistant, even in soil contact, and the laurel and rhododendron pickets are rot resistant when they are not in contact with soil. Engineered wood fiber mulch was used for the surface, and 9"-high FunTimbers was installed for the mulch border.
The design-builder constructed a log climber, swing beams and log benches from locust. The play structure also features plastic slides and metal climbers from Superior Recreational Products; and the "XBeam 3" and two-child "Rock 'n' Rider."
They will return there under contract in 2017 to install two more playgrounds for the Bexley subdivision by Newland Communities, so their work level is certainly picking up, as well as their reputation. This is their second contract with Newland Communities. The first was a bit closer, in Wendell, N.C., just east of Raleigh, completed in 2015. The company prefers to do its projects within 750 miles of its headquarters.
When they arrive at job sites with trucks loaded down with a slew of logs and wood products, they usually attract raised eyebrows and lots of questioning looks from bewildered general contractors and other bystanders.
It was no different when they showed up in Belmont, located about 15 miles west of Charlotte and nine miles east of Gastonia. Belmont has about 10,076 people, according to the 2010 Census, each of their creations usually require a great deal of handwork at each site, and it took the design-builders about 6-7 weeks to complete the Belmont project.
The city of Belmont is happy with the result.
"We have had such great reviews on the playground, and I am so pleased with the outcome of the project," said Reba Edwards, director of the parks and recreation department for the city of Belmont. "Working with the design-build firm was one of the best experiences I have had with any playground contractor. I think this is an amenity that is certainly going to enhance the ability to grow the river district. It appeals to individuals of all ages and lifestyles."
Nestled in the southern Piedmont region of North Carolina, the town of Belmont is flanked by two rivers, the Catawba River and its right tributary, the South Fork Catawba River. Adjacent to Belmont, the rivers make up two arms of Lake Wylie and form a peninsula on which the city is situated.
The city was once known as Garibaldi Station, and the name change to Belmont is disputed. Some say it was renamed for a prominent New York banker, August Belmont. Others contend that Bishop Leo Haid, who founded Belmont Abbey in 1876, was the one who suggested the name change to Belmont, which means "beautiful mountain." Belmont Abbey still exists to this day.

They have the skills to deal with interstate or long-distance journeys, which require trucks to accommodate their clients' belongings.

Some companies also rent their trucks, saving you up to 25 percent on long-distance relocation.

Rush hour or sleep late? Your call!
Mike Causey@mcauseyWFED
April 1, 2014 2:00 am
Thanks to the three-year pay freeze and low inflation rates, some feds are wondering whether they would be better off retired than working.
Does it make sense to slog through rush hour every day to get to a job that politicians (and much of the media) denounce as overpaid, poorly performed or unnecessary?
For whatever reason, lots of workers are doing the math trying to decide if they want to hang...
For whatever reason, lots of workers are doing the math trying to decide if they want to hang on (for the prospect of another 1 percent raise in 2015) or retire soon to qualify for a cost-of-living adjustment likely to be much higher.
Politicians and the media — sometime in error, sometimes by design — confuse federal pay raises (for workers) with cost-of-living adjusments (COLAs) for retirees.
Raises are based on political and fiscal considerations. The concept of equal-pay-with industry isn't taken seriously by the powers-that-be whether Republican or Democratic. According to official government data, feds are paid 30 percent less, on average, than their counterparts in the private sector. By contrast some conservative think tanks believe feds are overcompensated — especially when benefits are figured in — by nearly that amount. The ruler used, and the mindset of the person using it, plays a large part in determining the so-called pay gap.
COLAs for retirees are determined by the rise in inflation — from the third quarter of the current year over the third quarter of the previous year — as measured by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. There are several versions of the Consumer Price Index. Nobody seriously argues with the BLS numbers. But many think the wrong CPI is being used.
Pro-retiree groups say that the index that tracks things retirees need and buy should be used to give a fairer (and larger) COLA.
Fiscal hawks (including the White House) endorse the so-called "Chained CPI" which, over time, would produce COLAs that would be slightly smaller. The National Active and Retired Federal Employees Association (NARFE) says the typical federal retiree would be denied tens of thousands in COLAs during their lifetime. Backers of the chained CPI say that's true! One of the few things both sides agree on.
Given what's happened in recent years, a lot of long-time feds are doing the math to figure whether it is better to stay or go. So, when, if they want to get the 2015 COLA, should they retire?
The January COLA is pro-rated based on what month the individual retires.
A number of readers and listeners have asked Federal News Radio for a little help with their retire-or-work math. The last person I helped with math is currently making license plates in a federal facility, so I passed it on to David Snell of NARFE.
As you know, any COLA announced for 2015 applies to those CSRS workers who retire between Dec. 1, 2013, and Nov. 30, 2014. FERS covered workers are not entitled to a COLA until they reach age 62. In both cases, the COLA will be pro-rated when applied, and the proration factor depends on the month in 2014 they retired or in the case of FERS retirees, the month they turned age 62. COLAs are usually effective Dec. 1 of each year and show up in the Jan. 1 annuity payment.
Read more: Mike Causey
If the listener is under CSRS, he can choose to retire on the first, second or third of the month, and his annuity will begin to accrue the following day. However, he may want to wait until the end of the first pay period in January to retire to accrue additional annual leave that if not used, will be paid to him in a lump sum by his agency. Plus if there is a raise granted employees in 2015, he should see a bump in his salary used to compute the high-three average. The tradeoff is his annuity will not begin to accrue until the first of February and he will not be entitled to his first full month of annuity until March 1, 2015.
A 3.3 percent raise in 2015 for federal employees that some in Congress are proposing is modest considering these workers were flat-lined for three years. Even if passage of the full amount doesn't seem likely, starting the negotiations on a high percentage may result in a final raise that is higher than the pittance workers were granted this year.

The less-common is the two concentric pieces, both are full circles. Picture: if you place a normal one-piece runflat flat on the ground, then slice it in half horizontally. One piece would look like a half-width beadlock. This configuration is for the two-piece wheels.

250 Venezuelans Leaders, Orgs Send Letter to Sens. Rubio and Scott Urging Them to Co-Sponsor SECURE Act
By abicApril 28, 2021No Comments
Letter follows a national summit of Venezuelans, Haitians and Central Americans asking Rubio and Scott to help provide permanent protections to all TPS holders
MIAMI, FL — More than 250 Venezuelan leaders and organizations from across the country sent a letter today to Senators Marco Rubio (R–FL) and Rick Scott (R–FL) urging them to co-sponsor the SECURE Act, which would provide a path to permanent residency to an estimated 650,000 TPS holders, including more than 320,000 Venezuelans, most of which live in Florida. Read the letter here.
The SECURE Act, which was introduced by Senator Chris Van Hollen (D-MD), "needs at least one Republican co-sponsor and the support of 10 GOP senators to become law," the letter states. It calls on Sens. Rubio and Scott to end the uncertainty by providing TPS holders from 12 countries, including Venezuela, a path to citizenship.
The average TPS holder has been in the United States for more than 20 years, contributing to the country's economy and helping rebuild and recover from the pandemic. Yet many live in a constant state of uncertainty, needing to reapply to the program every 6 to 18 months and pay substantial fees.
The letter follows a national summit attended by hundreds of Venezuelans, business and faith leaders, media personalities and members of other TPS communities from Haiti and Central America, along with Republicans and Democrats including Senator Chris Van Hollen (D-MD), Rep. Darren Soto (D-FL), Rep. Carlos Gimenez (R-FL), Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar (R-FL) and Rene Garcia, Councilwoman Nancy Navarro, Montgomery County Councilmember, District 4, Miami-Dade Commissioner and Chairman of the Republican Party of Miami-Dade County, along with former Republican Congressman Carlos Curbelo and Archbishop Thomas Wenski, Archdiocese of Miami.
Venezuelan leaders are a key constituency for Republicans in Florida and were instrumental in shaping the outcome of the 2020 elections in the state. The Venezuelan community fought long and hard for TPS designation and has worked side-by-side with both Republicans and Democrats in the process.
Maria Antonietta Diaz, President and Founder, Venezuelan American Alliance, and CEO and founder of GBS Group, said:
"To continue their development, our people need to be able to plan for the long run and to put down roots with the peace of mind that they will not have to pack their life up in a suitcase if somehow there is a change of administration that decides not to renew TPS. The stability of having a path to citizenship will allow our people to develop their potential, and that of their families, without the fear that they might be separated from their children."
William Diaz, Founder, Casas de Venezuela National Network, said:
"We are writing this letter because TPS holders, including Venezuelans, need certainty in their lives so they can fully contribute to this country. Senators Rubio and Scott have expressed to me a strong commitment to support TPS and actions to restore democracy in Venezuela, and today we are asking them to co-sponsor the SECURE Act. The time to act is now."
Leonard Boord, Founder of Slon Capital, an investment firm in Miami, and board member of IMPAC Fund (Florida Chapter of the American Business Immigration Coalition), said:
"As a Venezuelan-American, business leader and entrepreneur, I can say that TPS holders are indispensable to our workforce and economic prosperity. They are not just employees and valuable members of our communities, they are also employers that create jobs, helping grow our workforce and boost our economy as we recover from the pandemic. They need certainty in their lives. That's why we need you to cosponsor the SECURE Act now."
Yaneth Galvis, Venezuelan TPS applicant, Hotline Coordinator at the Florida Immigration Coalition, said:
"I know I have protection, but this is not enough, what all TPS beneficiaries need, not just Venezuelans, EVERYONE, is permanent protection, since we know that TPS offers us protection for 18 months and we have to pay that expensive fee of $ 495 every 18 months and for each of the family members. What we need now is permanence, a path to citizenship not only for us Venezuelans who have suffered so much with that regime, that narco-tyranny, but for all TPS holders."
The letter was signed by dozens of organizations, including: IMPAC Fund (Florida chapter of the American Business Immigration Coalition), Venezuelan American Alliance, Casa de Venezuela Orlando, Proyecto Pulso, Center for Democracy and Development in the Americas (CDDA), We Are Más, Florida Immigration Coalition (FLIC) and Mujeres Latinas.

District 8 4A football: Furious late rally lifts Gonzaga Prep past Hanford
November 2, 2018 11:10 p.m. By Dave Nichols
For most of the game, Greater Spokane League champion Gonzaga Prep stared at a deficit on the scoreboard.
When Hanford's Garrett Horner scored on a quarterback sneak with 1 minute, 14 seconds left in the third quarter, the Bullpups trailed 24-7 with all the momentum on the visitor's sideline.
But G-Prep stuck with its game plan, pounding the interior of the defensive line until the Falcons finally gave an inch.
And the Bullpups took it – in the form of a fourth-quarter fumble recovery which opened the floodgates for a comeback.
Connor Halonen hit Zane Melzer on a wheel route for an 8-yard touchdown with 4.5 seconds left and eighth-ranked Gonzaga Prep finished a remarkable comeback, pulling off a 28-24 win over Hanford and advancing to the State 4A playoffs next week.
"Perseverance," G-Prep coach Dave McKenna said. "Proud of 'em. All of 'em."
The late score capped a 16-play drive which started at G-Prep's 28 with 3:21 to go.
"We practice (the route) a bunch," Halonen said. "We tried it once, didn't work as well in the middle of the field. They were expecting a run on the outside, 'cause we do that all night, and our coaches saw the opportunity to take that."
The crucial turnover, which came after G-Prep (8-2) scored to make it a 10-point game with 6:52 left, was the difference.
"Huge," McKenna said. "You know, we create turnovers. (Hanford) had the ball on the turf a couple of times and we didn't get it, so I knew we were going to get one. And we got it."
Melzer scored on a 17-yard run to make it 24-14. On the next play, Hanford's Dylan McElderry coughed it up and G-Prep's Daniel McKiernan recovered at the Falcons' 44.
"I think that might have changed the game completely," Halonen said. "We were starting to cruise on momentum, but we knew the time was getting short, so that fumble recovery really did turn the tables for us."
Halonen went for 16 yards to the Hanford 28. On the next play, Jacob Parola took it up the middle for a touchdown, drawing the Bullpups within three with 6:24 to go.
"We knew we were going to score," Melzer said. "Everybody was excited. We knew we were going to win right when we got that fumble.
"We knew we were going to win."
Halonen gave praise to his coaching staff for not panicking when the Bullpups were down big.
"I think we really rallied together, though, and made the most of our opportunities," he said. "That was some power football we played, and it really paid off."
Halonen finished with 122 yards rushing, Parola had 105 and Melzer added 90.
"Hanford's a very good football team," McKenna said. "Just proud of the kids. No quit. The coaches, the players, all rallied together. Great feeling."
Halonen's first carry of the game went for 20 yards. Later in the drive, Eric Floyd took a pitch 22 yards down to the Hanford 13. Two plays later, Melzer pounded it in from the 4 for an early 7-0 lead.
Hanford (6-4) answered with a long drive. Horner connected with Mason Ciolli on a crossing route for 17 yards out near midfield, then hit Luke Sutey on a fade from 19 yards to tie it.
Late in the quarter and up 10-7, Horner hit Kaden Lee for 19 yards down to the 5 with 40.5 seconds in the half.
On fourth-and-goal from the 6, receiver Gabe Martinez lined up crouched behind the guard, took an inside handoff and shook off a tackler for a touchdown. Hanford led 17-7 at the half.
Hanford went on another long drive in the third quarter. On second-and-goal from the 1, Horner took it himself and put the Falcons up 24-7 with 1:14 left in the third.
G-Prep wasn't finished, though. It was just getting started.
"We knew we could do it," Melzer said. "We saw 6 minutes on the clock and went out and did it. Played as a team and played great."
Just like they drew it up.

With The Romanoffs almost exactly one month away, Amazon has unveiled a new trailer has landed for Matthew Weiner's new drama.
The original contemporary anthology is created, written, directed and executive produced by the Mad Men legend and features eight separate stories about people who believe themselves to be descendants of the Russian royal family. Set in seven countries around the globe, The Romanoffs was shot on location in three continents collaborating with local productions and creative talent across Europe, the Americas, and the Far East. Each story takes place in a new location with a new cast.
The first episode, The Violet Hour, stars Marthe Keller, Aaron Eckhart, Ines Melab and Louise Bourgoin and the second – The Royal We – stars Corey Stoll, Kerry Bishe, Janet Montgomery and Noah Wyle. One is set in Paris, where an ancestral home holds the key to a family's future. The other sees a couple whose marriage is in a rut find their own temptations.
Both episodes will premiere as a double-bill on Amazon Prime Video on Friday 12th October with new episodes then released weekly, on Fridays.
Three continents. Seven countries. Eight stories. One family. Probably. That's the starting point for Matthew Wiener's new series, The Romanoffs – and a new trailer gives us our first look at the bizarre comedy-drama in action.
The Mad Men creator's anthology travels around the globe to bring us several separate stories about people who believe themselves to be descendants of the Russian royal family – regardless of whether they actually are or not. The cast includes Aaron Eckhart, Diane Lane, Isabelle Huppert, Christina Hendricks, John Slattery, Amanda Peet, Jack Huston, Kathryn Hahn, Noah Wyle, and Paul Reiser.
The new trailer gives us a glimpse of many of those names, as well as sets the tone for what promises to be a wryly amusing oddity. The Romanoffs premieres on Friday 12th October on Amazon Prime Video.
It's only a couple of months until Amazon's The Romanoffs is finally released, and a new trailer for the series isn't afraid to remind us just how many impressive names are involved.
The new show from Mad Men creator Matthew Weiner was already highly anticipated when Amazon snapped it up, not least because it reunited him with Mad Men veterans Christina Hendricks and John Slattery. The full ensemble list, though, just keeps getting better, with everyone from Isabelle Huppeert, Amanda Peet and Aaron Eckhart to Diane Lane, Corey Stoll, Kathryn Hahn, Jack Huston, Kerry Bishé and Paul Reiser all set to appear in the show.
The anthology series will follow multiple stories about people who believe themselves to be descendants of the Russian royal family, and the trailer sets a knowingly pompous tone, brazenly boasting its star-studded credentials to the swaggering blasts of Prokofiev's Montagues and Capulets.

Q: How to calculate the matrix representation? I have to calculate the matrix representation given the following:
Let $P_3(\mathbb{C})$ be a complex vector space of complex polynomiums and let $\alpha, \beta \in \mathbb{C}, \beta \neq \alpha$. We have $L : P_3(\mathbb{C}) \rightarrow \mathbb{C}^2$ given by
$$
L(p) = \begin{pmatrix} p(\alpha) \\ p(\beta) \end{pmatrix}, \ \text{for p} \in P_3(\mathbb{C})
$$
which I have shown is a linear transformation. Now I have to calculate the matrix representation given by the formula
$$
_\epsilon[L]_v = \begin{pmatrix} [L(v_1)]_\epsilon & [L(v_2)]_\epsilon & [L(v_3)]_\epsilon \end{pmatrix}
$$
where $V = (1,X,X^2)$ is a basis for $P_3(\mathbb{C})$ and $\epsilon = (e_1,e_2)$ is the standard basis for $\mathbb{C}^2$ but I just do not know what to put into the formula. Can you please help in the right direction?
Thanks ..

A: Since $L(1)=\begin{bmatrix}1\\1\end{bmatrix}$, $L(X)=\begin{bmatrix}\alpha\\\beta\end{bmatrix}$, and $L(X^2)=\begin{bmatrix}\alpha^2\\\beta^2\end{bmatrix}$, the matrix that you're after is$$\begin{bmatrix}1&\alpha&\alpha^2\\1&\beta&\beta^2\end{bmatrix}.$$

A: (1) Apply $\;L\;$ to each element of $\;V\;$ , (2)  Wite the outcome as a linear combination of$\;\epsilon\;$ (weird symbol for a basis...). (3) Your matrix is the transpose of the coefficients matrix you got above.
For example:
$$T(1)=\binom{1(\alpha)}{1(\beta)}=\binom 11=\color{red}1\cdot\binom10+\color{red}1\binom01$$
and you have that the first column in your matrix is $\;\binom{\color{Red}1}{\color{red}1}\;$.
Finish the argument now.

A: Is this correct? So we have
$$
L(1) = \begin{pmatrix} 1 (\alpha) \\ 1 (\beta) \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix} = 1 \cdot \begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} + 1 \cdot \begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix}
$$
and
$$
L(X) = \begin{pmatrix} X (\alpha) \\ X (\beta) \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} \alpha \\ \beta \end{pmatrix} = \alpha \cdot \begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} + \beta \cdot \begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix}
$$
and
$$
L(X^2) = \begin{pmatrix} X^2 (\alpha) \\ X^2 (\beta) \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} \alpha^2 \\ \beta^2 \end{pmatrix} = \alpha^2 \cdot \begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} + \beta^2 \cdot \begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix}
$$
which gives
$$
_\epsilon[L]_v = \begin{pmatrix} [L(v_1)]_\epsilon & [L(v_2)]_\epsilon & [L(v_3)]_\epsilon \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 1 & \alpha & \alpha^2 \\ 1 & \beta & \beta^2 \end{pmatrix}
$$

ZAC EFRON treated girlfriend VANESSA HUDGENS to a romantic 21st birthday present with a difference earlier this month - he planted three citrus trees on her Los Angeles estate.
The actress was shooting new movie Sucker Punch in Canada when she turned 21 on 14 December and when she returned home, she discovered Efron had picked out a trio of fruit trees and hired a gardener to plant the lemon, orange and tangerine plants in her yard.
A source tells the National Enquirer, "Vanessa was incredibly touched by the gift."

The airline was established and started operations in July 1974 when it was incorporated as Air Nevada, an on-demand charter operator. Scheduled services started in 1978. After Eagle Canyon Airlines acquired its network of tour operators, Air Nevada ceased operations in January 1998, changed its operating name to Pacific Wings and continued its scheduled services within Hawaii. It is owned by Greg Kahlstorf (50%) and Frank Ford (50%).
On February 1, 2007, the airline began operating flights between Honolulu and Molokai, Honolulu and Lanai, and Kahului and Molokai as PW Express, offering $49 one way fares on every seat on every flight. Service to Kapalua, West Maui began a month later. PW Express service terminated in July 2009 in the wake of Pacific Wings cutbacks following an incident with airport security in Kahului.
The airline has its headquarters in Mesa, Arizona in Greater Phoenix.
The airline previously had its headquarters in Dallas, Texas. Previously the headquarters were in the Kahului Airport Commuter Terminal in Kahului Airport in Maui, Hawaii.

Upper Arlington Roundup: Emily Hummer driven to succeed
DAVE PURPURA THISWEEKSPORTS.COM @ThisWeekDave
Sep 24, 2019 at 3:35 PM Sep 24, 2019 at 3:52 PM
When it comes to her golf game, Emily Hummer is hard to please.
The Upper Arlington senior, two-time Division I state qualifier and Ohio State commit regularly shoots in the mid-70s and occasionally has dipped into the 60s, but with less than a month left in her career with the Golden Bears girls team, Hummer can't wait for the next day when everything goes right.
"This whole year, I haven't gotten it all together in one round. That's been kind of a consistent theme for me, (shooting) 73, 74 or 75. I am just waiting for a round when I do everything well and go low," Hummer said after shooting a 75 in the Lady Bears Invitational on Sept. 19 at Brookside. "It happened a few times last year. I am just waiting for it to happen again. I'm excited for it to happen."
Hummer averaged 73.8 strokes per 18 holes in the four-round OCC-Central Division tournament, fourth behind the New Albany trio of Madison Spiess (70.7), Anna Ritter (71.3) and Kary Hollenbaugh (72.0).
Hummer shot a 79 at state as a freshman to tie for 19th of 72 individuals while UA placed fourth as a team. Last year as an individual, she shot a two-day total of 145 and placed fifth of 72 competitors.
Hummer's best competitive round was a 69, shot in a sectional two years ago. She hopes to return to that range when she and the Bears compete in a sectional Tuesday, Oct. 1, at Mentel Memorial.
At sectional, the top three teams and top three individuals not on qualifying teams advance to district Oct. 8 at New Albany Links.
"Her toughest critic is in the mirror," coach Steve Ford said. "She always wants more. It's easy to go from 100 to 90, but when you're trying to go from 76 to 71 or 73 to 71, it starts to become (about) degrees of perfect. It can get difficult. As we go through rounds, we find places she can improve. Does she have more in her? Yes, I think she does."
According to Ford, Hummer's strength is consistency off the tee as well as in her putting.
Teammate Julia Rabadam agreed but added that Hummer's personality is an asset to the team.
"She definitely leads by example and that's very important on our team. She gives our team a presence," Rabadam said. "Em is quiet, but she's feisty. She definitely gets upset with herself, but she's someone who will do so well in college. She hits the ball a long way. Her game is put together. It's fun to see how much better she's gotten in the past four years."
Hummer committed to Ohio State on July 21 to cap a recruitment process that began late in her junior season.
Both of her parents, Mark and Jeanine, attended OSU, as did all three of her older siblings, Amira, Danny and Andy.
Danny helped UA's boys basketball team to a Division I state runner-up finish in 2014 and went on to play at Air Force for two seasons before transferring home to play for the Buckeyes, for whom he is a redshirt senior.
Ford already is thinking about what he will say about Hummer both on the team's senior night and at their postseason banquet.
"I think she has a chance to go down as the most accomplished golfer in Upper Arlington history," Ford said. "Her four-year (track record), potentially a four-time all-district golfer and who knows what will happen at state. But when you look at her cumulative body of work, she has to be right up there."
Girls soccer team surviving tough slate
Despite a handful of injuries and a difficult schedule, the girls soccer team entered the week with a winning record overall and a split of its first two league games.
UA was 5-4-1 overall and 1-1 in the OCC-Central before playing Westland on Sept. 24.
The Bears have been without their top scorer from a year ago, sophomore forward Abby Reisz, the past few weeks because of injury. Midfielder Rachel Ooms and forward Jackie Yerke also have missed time.
"It's just little nagging things here and there, a bruise here and there, injuries that pop up during a season. You play through them," coach Chris Merrick said. "We've battled through some games. Defensively, we've performed pretty well at times. We held Thomas Worthington to only three shots on goal (in a 2-0 win Sept. 12) to the point where (goalkeeper) Carolyn (Stehle) didn't have to make a save. It's been a struggle sometimes to put the ball in the net, though."
UA began league play Sept. 17 with a 2-0 loss at Hilliard Davidson in which Stehle made seven saves. She had eight stops two nights later in a 2-0 loss to Olentangy.
Seven of UA's first 10 games were decided by two goals or fewer, including a 2-0 loss at Beavercreek -- ranked first in last week's Division I state poll -- on Sept. 7. The Bears tied Granville, which was ranked eighth in Division II, at 2 on Sept. 14.
"Davidson's a very skilled team. It was 0-0 at half and then they made a few key plays," Merrick said. "Beavercreek was tough, but we held right with them."
Through 10 games, Morgan Clark and Cecilia Dapino shared the team lead in goals with five. Sydney Lape had four and Ooms and Camryn Callaghan both had three.
According to Merrick, Reisz, who had 19 goals as a freshman, is expected to return this week.
UA resumes play Saturday, Sept. 28, at home against Gahanna. The Lions shared the OCC-Ohio championship last season and entered this week tied for first in their league.
Volleyball team hangs in OCC race
The girls volleyball team won five consecutive matches and eight of 10 after an 0-3 start, including its first four OCC-Central contests, and was 9-6 overall and 5-1 in the league before playing Davidson on Sept. 24.
UA entered the week in second place in the league behind Dublin Coffman, which defeated the Bears 25-13, 25-16, 25-23 on Sept. 17. The Shamrocks, who were 6-0 in the OCC-Central before Sept. 24, are seeking their 13th consecutive league championship.
The Bears rebounded from that loss to edge Central Crossing 24-26, 25-19, 26-25, 25-13 on Sept. 19.
Through 14 matches, Jenna Harold led UA in kills with 135 and Erin Murphy had 84. Carly Ness and Lilian Entenmann had 31 and 29 aces, respectively.
