Electropop outfit Galantis and pop singer Charli XCX made a Mario-influenced bop to promote USJ's latest land!
Here we are in 2020! There's so much to look forward to in this year, and Japan has a particularly full schedule: the production for JAXA's space craft starts, synthetic pop idol Hatsune Miku gets a shiny new voice bank, and also…have you heard of this little thing called the Olympic Games?
If you're heading to Japan to watch the Games you'll want to take in some other sights and sounds, and where better than Universal Studios Japan? Located in the thriving Kansai region, USJ is celebrating 2020 with a new addition of its own: the opening of the long-awaited Super Nintendo World. And just in case you'd missed the memo about this Famicon-flavored feature, they've released a brand new trailer.
▼ Let's a-go!
The commercial opens on a variety of people, alone or in families, at home or in outer space; and every one of them is enjoying some good old Mario content on their Nintendo Switch consoles. It's not long before the fun bursts out of the small screens: a huge, green pipe forms in each area, perfect for leaping down!
▼ Presumably you go through a ticket gate in real life, but this looks way cooler.
Each visitor is equipped with a snappy Mario watch mid-descent and is swiftly deposited into Super Nintendo Land. It's a glorious utopia filled with bright colors, sparkling coins and a host of familiar faces; Goombas, Koopa Troopers, Piranha Plants and a rainbow of different Yoshis inhabit cartoony landscape, and we even get a glimpse of Mario as he heads towards a sinister Bowser flag in the distance.
Our cast of Nintendo fanatics race after Mario, newly crowned with bright red Mario caps of their own. The watches connect to each person's phone and it's time to start the game — because, as singer Charli XCX sings from atop Peach's Castle, "we were born to play."
▼ A pixel paradise is waiting for you to platform across it!
The commercial then showcases the interactivity of the land in various angles, following participants as they duck, weave and dance around fireballs and hop over Bullet Bills. This all leads towards a huge dance party in the center plaza where guests are showered with coins and Super Stars.
Then it's over to the racing track, where challengers team up in a go-kart to best Bowser and his litter of evil children.
Once Bowser is thwarted by a guest riding a Yoshi through the sky, it's time to finally capture his flag… And our guests are given an audience with Mario, the platforming plumber himself, to end out the ad.
Now, obviously this is a highly sensationalized commercial with tons of CG animation and exaggerated levels of interactivity. We know that Mario is far too busy and famous to interact with mere peasants like us one-on-one, even if we did go all the way to his theme park. What the commercial does provide us with though is a more concrete idea of what's offered at the park — its mission goal, as it were.
The watch and smartphone app suggests an augmented reality vibe where guests can go around the park picking up coins and power-ups, and its emphasis on its hyper-faithful terrain means you really can expect to navigate the park like a big, chunky Mario level. The hotly rumored Mario Kart ride gets spotlighted, as does riding on multicolored Yoshis in some form.
▼ It remains to be seen if we can hang out with Princess Peach and Toadette.
Even without real-world footage, this clip has plenty of rewatch value; the colors pop, the digital characters feel fluid and alive, and there's no denying the serotonin rush when the main Mario melody kicks in, amped up and injected with a new electronica twist. Try to get all the words memorized before the park opens this summer!

Susan Taube discusses her deportation from Berlin to the ghetto in Riga, Latvia, and the days immediately following. She was deported in January, 1942, along with her mother, sister, and grandmother.
No food, no water, except what we had with us, nothing at all. Two buckets on each side for our physical needs and that's it. When this car was full it was shut from the outside sealed and off we went.
In today's episode Susan Taube talks with host Bill Benson about her deportation from Berlin to the ghetto in Riga, Latvia, in January, 1942.
Sunday morning we all had to assemble in from of the synagogue. There were trucks there if you couldn't walk to the train station which was Grunewald. It was, I don't know, about an hour walk. You can go on the trucks and we will take you there, but we walked and we came to the station and the trucks came to the station too. And we didn't see a train. What we saw were the cattle cars, what you see here in the Museum.
The cattle cars were opened, the doors were opened, and about 80 to 90 people were pushed into each cattle car. Along the walls were benches made out of straw, and the floor was covered with straw and that was our seating and laying or whatever arrangement for 90 people. No food, no water, except what we had with us, nothing at all. Two buckets on each side for our physical needs and that's it. When this car was full it was shut from the outside, sealed, and off we went.
It was a very cold winter, an extremely cold winter. Naturally, you are sitting next to each other keeping warm, but it was awful. The train trip, I think it took about two days, three days, I don't remember exactly. I know we arrived in Riga on the 29th or 30th of January.
Once we arrived, the doors opened up and there was the SS and the dogs and the trucks and "Out Out Out!" And people could hardly move, they were frozen stiff but, "Out Out Out!" They were hitting with--I don't know what they had. Again they assembled us in front of the train, "If you can walk, it's about five kilometers to your destination. And if not, you can go on the truck and we will take you there. You can leave all your belongings here and it will all be taken to you at your destination." Well, whatever we left there we never saw again, and the people who went on the truck we never saw again either.
We marched. By that time it was kind of dusk already and we came to a place that was surrounded by double chicken wires all around. They pushed us in a house, no light, no water, nothing. We didn't know where we are, what's happening. I mean, completely blank. So the next morning when it got daylight we got out, and when we went out we saw clothes laying around, everything in ice, everything was frozen in ice. Red spots in the ice. We didn't know what happened. Later on we found out that this was the ghetto of the Latvian Jewish population who were assembled there for three months and just the month before we arrived they were resettled also, to mass graves. Twenty-nine thousand people, so.
Susan, the scene you described when you woke up in the morning, you said everything was coated in ice. There was food left on plates from the people that were forced out, the Latvian Jews before you, with everything, the plates, everything in the house was covered in ice.
I think it was the second day right away we had to go to work. So there was a man who was in charge. He was put in charge of the house, and the able-bodied people had to assemble in front of the house and we were sent to the city and in the city we received the ice picks and shovels and whatever to loosen the ice from the sidewalks so the population of Riga could walk on the sidewalks. We were not allowed to walk on the sidewalks. Also, by that time, we had the Jewish star. This we received in Berlin already. So that was our job.
In the morning we got a little piece of bread and when we came back I think we got another piece of bread, but there was no way that we had a warm meal or anything like that because there was no facility to warm anything even. For water we picked up the snow and we drank the snow.


This scene also serves as introduction to the clever, whirling, entrancing Mercutio. Spinning wild puns left and right, seeming to speak them as freely as others breathe, Mercutio is established as a friend who can, gently or not, mock Romeo as no one else can. Though thoughtful, Benvolio does not have the quick wit for such behavior. With his wild speech and laughter, Mercutio is a man of... Dialogue is the speech of fiction, the talk between two or more characters. It is speech appropriate for the story, verbal communication that works with and for, not against, the fiction. Good dialogue draws the reader into an imaginary world and works to keep her there.
90 seconds, or they will switch off and ignore the rest of the speech. � In the introduction you (a) introduce the theme (b) set the scene (c) establish a direction (d) gain the attention of the audience and get them involved.... 28/12/2018�� Use paper and simply write the names of characters in a scene, then put the actions in bubbles around the paper and connect each character to a scene. From there, elaborate and add detail, as well as motives/POV for each character regarding the event.
Romeo and Juliet's love is so passionate that it has to be everything or nothing, and in a world of families, friendships, and civil law, love can't be everything.... A Few Good Men is a 1992 film about the trial of two U.S. Marines accused of murder while serving at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Directed by Rob Reiner.

THE WONDER TWINS...UNPLUGGED & UNLEASHED!
By Bill Holdship
MT's own Wonder Twins attended ETC's Unplugged Detroit II at the Lager House last Saturday night, February 7th. Here are their thoughts...
D'Anne: This is Unplugged Detroit II! Did you go to the first one?
Laura: I did -- it was great.
D: Did it have the same lineup?
L: Nope -- totally different.
D: Hadn't we seen Carjack before?
L: I have -- I don't recall you being there. Stop trying to live vicariously through me. You did see Electric Fire Babies at Summer Smash, though -- he's in that.
D: Okay. Got it. His music is much different, uh, "plugged," yes?
L: Yes -- more electronic. Also with small children dressed as make-shift Power Rangers punching each other. But he was fun acoustic -- my favorite part of his set was his Beck cover, "Asshole" from One Foot In the Grave? Hell, yes!
D: The refrain from his song "You hide in my stereo" keeps popping in my head. I think that first one was a love song to Ric Ocasek.
L: Most likely all his songs are.
D: Deastro's set was really short. Too short, I think!
L: I agree! Really awesome, though. I loved the banjo. Like Sufjan Stevens but less 50 states obsessed.
D: I loved the acoustic versions of "Shaded Forest" and "Spritle." I think it's indicative of what a good songwriter Deastro is that his songs can work with a laptop or with just an acoustic guitar.
L: So true. Also, what a great crowd turn out -- considering there were about 200 other shows in the area that night.
D: A good turnout, but too loud.
L: Yeah -- not that I'm totally surprised that drunk people would shout at the top of their lungs to hear each other over the music, but they really missed out on some stellar sets by choosing the sound of their own slurred voices.
D: I don't think it was limited to just drunk people. It seemed that the vast majority of people there would just not shut the fuck up.
L: If the talking's too loud, you're too old! That's the expression, right?
D: No, that is not the expression.
L: At the same time, I am equally frustrated and irritated by shows where everybody sits on the floor all quiet-like as if they're in kindergarten. So I can't be pleased.
D: I don't expect people to be silent at shows, but I guess I do expect a certain level of respect for the artists. I am old. Anyway, Mick Bassett played next. Unlike Deastro, I felt like his set was too long.
L: I had stepped away to look at the awesome craft wares during the latter half of his set. But I must say I like his voice, and that he wasn't shy about saying "Fuck you" to the person who yelled something about Bob Dylan.
D: I thought that response was well placed and well timed. And, yes, I like his voice. I'd be very interested to hear him singing more interesting lyrics. Though his song about eating at Red Robin with a prostitute is a start.
L: Well, write about what you know –- that's what they say. Speaking of crafts, the notebook you wrote in that very night came from one of the vendors, no?
D: Yes, the notebook I wrote in was made by Comfortably Lovely and given to me by Angela Allen. It has Dolly Parton on the front. :)
L: Dolly Parton notebooks are a sure sign of journalistic integrity.
D: No doubt. And a sign of musical integrity is a cover of Danzig's "Mother."
L: Yes! Thank you Ryan and Lizzie of Friendly Foes for that. Their set was the highlight for me. But I think I've made it clear enough that I would totally gay marry that whole band.
D: You would only have to gay marry Lizzie. You could regular marry Brad. And poly-marry Ryan.
L: Well... never mind. I don't want to split hairs on this issue.
D: One thing I noticed while they were doing "Mother" was that both Ryan and Glen Danzig are short. Coincidence?
L: Yes. Ryan is way buffer than Glen Danzig and could easily beat him in a fair fight.
D: Though Danzig would have Satan on his side. So I don't think a fight with him could ever be fair.
L: True. We had to leave when the Hard Lessons brought a tree on stage.
D: Yes. I heard that the tree sang their whole set. I'm sad to have missed that. They took "Unplugged" to a whole new "green" level.
L: They're always one step ahead.
D: Probably nobody talked during their set. Because of the tree. And the surprise of it. And because Glen Danzig showed up and challenged Ryan to a fight. But they just hugged it out.
L: Right. You always make me miss the good parts. Thanks a lot!
Laura and D'Anne Witkowski are freelance writers who go to shows and then talk about them. They also have been known to do a stellar karaoke "Copacabana" duet on occasion. They love Detroit plugged or unplugged.
Ryan, Lizzie and Brad: Awaiting the mighty Danzig...?

Lincoln boys defeat Mountain View

Junior Mason Thornock takes the jumper during Lincoln County High's easy win against Mountain View.
Lincoln County celebrated a triumphant victory over Mountain View, defeating the team 62-21 on Feb. 8.
Coach Sean Fitzsimons said, "We wanted to come out and play defense. I think we proved that in the first quarter. We had a good week of practice and we felt that we could get them. It was just a Friday game."
The boys proved that solid defense was its main goal in the first quarter. Mathew Hafen and Kobe Kelley hit a few shots behind the arc to add to the lead and team ended up ahead 21-3. Lincoln continued playing with that state of mind and kept Mountain View to under 10 points each quarter.
Dylan Robinson splashed a 3-pointer in the fourth quarter to close out the game and Lincoln won, 61-21.
"My assistant coach Kevin Hannig said it best when he said that good teams do that to bad teams," FitzSimons said. "We were supposed to win like that. It was about time. We got everyone involved and played everybody. We did a bunch of different combinations on the court. I was pleased with the game and the overall effort."
Kobe Kelley was the highest scorer with 16 points. Noah Smith scored 13. Mathew Hafen and Cody Zile scored 12 and 11, respectively.
On Saturday, Feb. 16, the boys will play their final league game at home against Lake Mead Christian Academy at 4:30 p.m.
The Lynx are currently 17-7 overall and 11-2 in the 2A Southern League, and currently have the top spot in the league. Lake Mead is in third at 10-3 (14-6 overall). The Meadows (12-9, 11-3) currently holds the third seed.
"Lake Mead has always been a battle for us so we're looking forward to the challenge," FitzSimons said. "We respect the aspect that they are a fundamentally sound team. They're always going to be right there as [one of the the] top two to three teams in the league. It'll be a fun way to close out the season."

If you are in the market for a fabulous vacation home or a good long term investment, Sarasota has the perfect property for you. With interest rates near an all-time low, there are lots of properties to choose. Prices have taken a major drop and buyers have more leverage than sellers.
Tucked in the center of the Florida Sun coast, Sarasota runs down the west side of the state down to the beautiful waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Best known for its gorgeous sunny beaches, Sarasota has 35 miles of the World's softest and Officially Whitest sand in the country. There are five barrier islands (Bird Key, Longboat Key, Casey Key, Lido Key, and Siesta Key) forming a shield to the coast, which in turn creates a sanctuary for wide variety of coastal neighborhoods and villages, bountiful with unique personality and culture.
Property prices in Sarasota have dipped so greatly that you can now achieve a positive cash flow or break even, when buying a property. In some areas of town the prices are back to prices from 2000. It has not been that way for quite a few years and won't last forever.
Sarasota has a large selection of properties to offer, no matter what your lifestyle they have a condo or home to fit your needs. If you like golfing, Lakewood Ranch is the hub of several top quality golf courses. Are you a beach lover, there are loads of homes and condos available on the barrier islands. Into suburban living, there are many condo buildings to cater to your metropolitan lifestyle. And boating, there is the deep water of Bird Key.
Or maybe you are considering a property for a rental investment. With the all-time low costs in Sarasota and the low interest rates, this is the perfect time. If you are a smart investor, you can minimize your risks as far as appreciation by taking a long term perspective. You will not be out of pocket during this time, if the property appreciates over time. Your risk is also decreased because while you are holding on, the mortgage is being paid off by your tenants. Since the mortgage will be eventually be paid, there is very little financial danger.
There is no one who wants to purchase a property and have it be worth less in a year, so many buyers are waiting for fear that prices may go down. The Sarasota market will hit its lowest if it is not already there. You need to forget trying to make money in a hurry. When purchasing in Sarasota you need to think long term growth. With the increased return on investment, many investors have come back to the property market. This is a signal of the bottom of the property market.
Property speculators are of the opinion that housing prices are at the lowest when you can purchase a home with a mortgage and break even or maybe even create a positive cash flow. Ultimately, as prices drop a little more, returns improve attracting more investors to buy up the excess in homes available, which in turn will restart property appreciation and balance the market.
Will you correctly anticipate the bottom of the Sarasota property market?
It is likely that you wont but if you did is would just be luck. Some purchasers will buy above the bottom and some below but if you are near 5% of it, you are doing really well. I you plan on keeping your property for some time, then it is not nearly as important to hit that bottom.
With people make lots of money in a hurry, the property boom spoiled many investors. Before then, property was purchased with the expectation of holding it. That was different during the boom time when the expectation was to hold property for only a few months or many a couple of years. The time has come to get back to the old style of investing in property as long term. It takes time for good things to come.

design lessons from chanticleer, with bill thomas
IT'S NOT a botanical garden, exactly, nor an arboretum–not a park or a museum. So what is Chanticleer, the much-visited 48-acre fill-in-the-blank in Wayne, Pennsylvania, about half an hour from Philadelphia?
Maybe the best answer to that question is one I found on page 28 of the new book "The Art of Gardening: Design Inspiration and Innovative Planting Techniques from Chanticleer," where it says:
"It is a garden for the sake of being a garden."
Bill Thomas (above photo, back row, far right), came to Chanticleer Garden in 2003, as director and head gardener, after 26 years at nearby Longwood Gardens. Bill's is the lead voice in the extravagant new book from Chanticleer, but as in the garden itself, the book's pages also contain other voices: specifically those of the other six gardeners Bill collaborates with to make this very unusual place come to life.
Fall planting season—a great time for adding new plants, or dividing and moving things about—isn't far off, so I figured we home-garden types could use a dose of Chanticleer-style wisdom to help fine tune our own designs, and look at the pictures we're creating with a much sharper eye.
Read along as you listen to the Aug. 17, 2015 edition of my public-radio show and podcast using the player below. You can subscribe to all future editions on iTunes or Stitcher (and browse my archive of podcasts here).
my q&a on chanticleer gardens
with bill thomas

Q. Can we have the quick history of the place called Chanticleer first, as a scene-setter? What is Chanticleer?
A. We call ourselves a "pleasure garden." We are to be beautiful; we try very hard to make sure it's a beautiful place, and I think most of our guests feel that. It's exciting; we want it to be visually exciting. We want it to be informative. But you could also say it's a former estate garden, a former private garden. It was the home of the Rosengarten family, who had a pharmaceutical firm that merged with Merck in the 1920s. They planted beautiful trees and wonderful lawns, and since we opened to the public in 1993, we've been planting lots of flowers and other plants to create what we hope to be a very fun and exciting place to visit.
Q. A pleasure garden: It sounds like a phrase that would be used in English gardens, somewhere you go and stroll and enjoy yourself, and have a day out.
A. Yes, exactly. The last owner of the property, Adolph Rosengarten Jr., in his writing in the last decade of his life said he wanted Chanticleer to be a pleasure garden. We use that as a quick mission statement for us. Every guest should leave here in a better mood than when they arrive.
Q. So on bad days I need to take a drive there. [Laughter.]
A. Yes, you do.
Q. The garden is 48 acres—do I have that number right?
A. The whole property is 48 acres; the garden itself is about 35.
Q. In the book you're writing about 48, or at least 35, acres—nevertheless the tenets of the Chanticleer design philosophy seemed like ones I need to keep in mind in my own backyard. I kept coming across ideas that no matter the scale, are important guiding principles.
Like the first bullet point of design philosophy in the book:
"Make the most of a site's features."
A. Whatever one is gardening—it could be a person's balcony—first it's: What do you have? Do you have a view you like; do you have a view you don't like? With a balcony, for instance, you usually have a view from the apartment or condo. With Chanticleer it's 35 acres of beautiful, rolling countryside with some great vistas or views—and we make sure we don't block those.
We have a great lawn; a wonderful hill to roll down. It faces west, so in late afternoon, when the light is low in the sky, it backlights a lot of the trees.
We each know our own places better than anyone else, so its highlighting the things we like and if there's something we don't like, then it's hiding it.
Q. So make the most of a site's features by really looking around—and with an intimate eye; looking as you say to not deprive yourself of the best of the site.
A. And essentially to identify what gives you pleasure. If there's something you really like on your property, highlight it.
Q. Another tenet of the Chanticleer design philosophy says: "Integrate the structures and the garden." That can be a hard one sometimes, because some of them aren't so gorgeous. [Laughter.] You have some beautiful ones on the property, and you even have the ruins of one former structure.
A. Yes, we took down the house of our last owner, Adolph Rosengarten Jr., and we built a run, a folly to look like that house had fallen into disrepair. That made the house literally part of the garden.
Integrating the structures into the garden: We think of the whole property as one place, one garden. We want everything to come together. For instance, when we built a restroom in Asian Woods, which is at the far end of the property in an area where we highlight plants from Asia, we decided to go with a Japanese-style building.
We built it in a little clearing in the woods, so we didn't have to take down any trees, so we have it just nestled in, yet you can find it.
Q. It's not an eyesore, nor idiosyncratic to the site. It feels integrated, as best as that can be.
A. Going back to balconies: I recognize not everyone has 35 acres to garden on. But your balcony is part of your home; it's not a separate unit. You want to integrate it into your living room, if your living room opens into it. You want to think of it essentially as one place.
It may have a very different feel, but you still want it to be integrated.
Q. Similarly, the next of the design principle says: "Have themes that tie the areas together into one garden." You have a lot of "rooms," or gardens within the garden at Chanticleer, but it's not jarring. It's not like you've just walked over a threshold into a new world.
A. A number of people say, "Chanticleer Gardens," and I always try to make our staff say it's "Chanticleer Garden," one garden.
Q. Singular, yes.
A. We do things that are usually pretty subtle. There are a lot of curving areas, pathways and bed edges here, and so we emphasize that. When I look at an area I look to see does that curve—that edge of the bed or lawn—curve in a pleasing way, and does it seem to relate to an area that's across the lawn?
We have a pathway that goes around the whole garden, so we've lined the asphalt path with Belgian blocks, so they help tie together the garden. When you come into our parking lot, we've actually divide the parking spaces with these Belgian blocks; we introduce that idea there.
The asphalt is actually a brown asphalt, rather than black. These are not inexpensive things to do, but in one's own garden for instance–in one friend's garden, he found some old concrete and he put those pieces of broken-up concrete on edge in places, so that helps tie his garden together.
Q. It can be a found material used in a repetitive manner, or plants, or a color. But you don't want to sit on a bench and stare across to another area and be like, "Wait, that doesn't connect at all."
Another tenet says, "Change evolutionarily rather than with grand landscape designs." Evolutionarily. [Laughter.] I look at that word and it's like, "Whoa, how am I going to say that word?"
A. [Laughter.] My mother would have said, "Why use such a long word when you can use a shorter one?"
In most cases, in our home gardens or at Chanticleer, you don't want to rip up the whole place. Instead, keep trying to improve it; keep making gradual changes. I think of a garden as being different from a landscape, because a landscape is done often all at once, and the designer really wants it to stay pretty much the way it was.
Whereas a garden is developed over a long period of time, and you keep changing it as trees grow, or other plants grow. You might have too many trees, and you may have to remove one or two. If it's a small garden, something may outgrow the space. All we gardeners, since we're working on our gardens as a longterm proposition, we think: How can we keep making it better?
Anytime I see something and I like it, I still think: Would it be any better; can I tweak this in any way?
Q. So iterations, not wholesale havoc where we erase something, throw up our hands. I'm always tempted, especially this time of year, to do that: to get a brush hog and mow it all down. [Laughter.]
A. And there are times when that is the thing to do. But in most cases, it's not.
Q. Tease it apart, make some holes, play with some things before you go into erasure mode.
The last design-philosophy tenet in the Chanticleer book says: "Focus on plants." That's pretty important, because there is a lot of plantsmanship and incredible plants in the collection there.
A. We think about our pavement, we think about our structures, but the thing that really makes the garden and what we focus on and put our time into: the plants, and the plant combinations.
Q. And "plants with a purpose," you say, too, which I thought was a very important point. It's not just, "Oh, that's pretty, I'll bring home one of those!" and loading up the car with pretty faces, but plants with a purpose.
A. As we know: all of us love plants. In a garden center they're going to be focusing on plants that are looking good today. And so it's easy, especially in the spring, to see something that's stunning. Or you drive down the road and you see a flowering cherry in bloom, and you think, "I've got to have that in my garden." But what will it look like next week, next month, or in July? Will its leaves be diseased in August and your tree will be leafless?
Crabapples would be an example: Every crabapple looks pretty in the spring; it has pretty flowers. Instead of choosing a crabapple for its flowers, think instead of if it will have a great fruit display, and will the fruit stay on and draw birds into December and January. Will it look good with snow on it? Will it be healthy, so you don't have to spray it?
And of course we put in some plants just because we fall in love with them.
Q. Because they did look good that one minute when you saw them.
A. But the ones we really appreciate, and what we try to have discipline about: Thinking what that plant is going to do in that area of the garden for its whole lifetime.
So if it's an annual, since you're only planting it for one season or one year, will it give you color all season, and look good? Or will it peter out after three weeks, in which case you've spent money and time and gotten not much out of it.
Q. You want us to challenge each plant and ask if it's doing the best job it can: contributing structure or defining spaces, as you mention in the book, or giving us color (with the annuals you just mentioned). Whatever we're turning to it for—is it giving us that over a long time? Have we sought out the best possible plant?
Sometimes the one in the garden center looks good in the plastic pot or flat, but isn't one that's the most garden-worthy of all.
A. In a way, it's like going to buy a puppy; going to the shelter or the pet shop or the breeder. Every puppy is cute, but is that puppy going to grow up to be 6 feet tall, and 250 pounds, and are you ready for that?
Q. Is this the right puppy for you?
A. Right. We all need some discipline in what we're choosing. I tell people to go to gardens if they're not happy with their own garden in August, which is a tough time in this part of the country for a garden. Go to a public garden and see what looks good, and then think about growing that instead of just going to a place in the spring and just planting something that you see.
Q. Speaking of plants with a purpose, as you do in the book: You write that they can make a place for the eye to rest, or soften structures—lots of jobs that plants can do. I confess I have this obsession, and maybe to a fault now that the plants have all gotten so big, with gold foliage.
Now I have a ton of it. It does move your eye from here to there; it draws attention if you plant it at a distance; it brightens things up. I think the Tennis Court Garden at Chanticleer [top photo] uses a lot of gold.
What are some of the other things that plants' color can do?
A. You mentioned gold foliage, but purple is another major color, and it's so strong. It always draws the eye, especially if you highlight that or group purple plants.
One of the things about foliage is that it will be with you the whole growing season (or with an evergreen, it will be with you year-round). Much of our color display comes from foliage: from greens, from yellows, from purples, or variegation. That foliage gives us the color, but there's also usually a textural effect with that through whole season.
And then we use flowers as accents, coming and going.
Q. I think that's very important, and a very different balance than many of us who run in to the garden center and say, "Ooh, look at the flowers." Instead having the discipline to shop for the foliage.
A. You can get color from twigs [above], especially in the winter, such as willows with red twigs—or Japanese maples that have red twigs. There are also willows that have yellow twigs, and twig dogwoods.
Q. There are so many plants at Chanticleer, but do you think there are any plants that are synonymous with Chanticleer–sort of signatures? I know much of the plantings, especially near key buildings, are changed out once or even multiple times a season, but there plants you can't imagine being without?
A. That's a hard question. Flowering dogwood, for instance, has year-round interest: flowers in the spring, red fruits in fall that go into winter, and good red-orange fall color, and I also like the horizontal branches.
Trees—almost every tree—but I'm especially fond of oaks, such as white oaks. Many people won't plant them because they say they're too slow, but actually if you plant a small one and it will transplant well and grow quickly. Lindens are also quick-growing, and there are some beautiful ones. Trees are so important, and they really tie our whole garden together.
We have bulbs in lawns—we use spring-flowering bulbs like daffodils in lawns. But even more special are camassias, blue-flowering bulbs that grow along our creek.
One of the things we do with the bulbs in lawns: We use a lot. With the Camassia [below] we probably planted 25,000. If it's a small garden, we would have planted 100. But instead of just planting a couple, go bigger and go bolder with bulbs.
Q. The Camassia in the lawn, or the daffodils, come up and bloom and you wait until the bulb foliage has faded before you mow?
A. Right. And that's the one tricky thing with bulbs in lawns: You cannot mow until the bulb foliage is starting to turn yellow. But I like the long grass, and if you plant the bulbs in a pleasing shape or pattern, the long grass can look very nice.
Q. It can be very strategic—not all over your lawn, but an island, and then it's a double pleasure: the beauty of the bulb, and then the beauty of the long grass contrasted against the areas alongside that are mown.
A. And by mowing around them, it lets people know you haven't just forgotten, or are lazy.
Q. I call that effort, "evidence of human." [Laughter.] I'm so glad to get to talk to you, Bill.

I visited Chanticleer for the first time this year, on July 4th. It was raining and for that time of year a little chilly. But it was magical. I drag my husband to many gardens and he still speaks of this garden. Even the containers complement the plants they hold. I look forward to going back. Thanks for the podcast Margaret.
Please put my name in for the book.
I would love to go to the garden, but couldn't make the drive until the end of October, when I have a week of vacation.
Again though, I would love the book. The photos are fantastic!

A dreamy place – just love it! So much to see in all the plant and flower bed details, the flowering fish ponds, the fountains, the magnificent trees, the artisan wrought iron, handmade wooden chairs, chart boxes, garden gates, rock formations, stone-arranged walkways, the old patios w old mantels planted so creatively, the bees, the birds, the flowers, the trellises growing up the gorgeous old buildings ! It transports you to a magical place!


John Carmack, the man who basically invented modern first person shooters, recently spoke to NowGamer. The interview is mostly about id's upcoming Rage for PC and consoles, but at one point John Carmack gives us a bit of an insight into his view on development for iOS and Android.
He evaluates the Android platform every six month to judge if it's time to start developing for it. His conclusion to date is that, as a developer, you are just not making money on the Android platform as you do on iOS. He says it was interesting to see at their last Quakecon, when he took a hands poll, that almost as many people had an Android device as an iOS device – but once he asked who had spent 20 bucks on games in the Android store, that number changed drastically.
Carmack goes on explaining that it's just fun to develop for iOS and that they had made more money on the Doom RPG stuff than people may expect. And when they show people what they are working on for iOS, these people would often react with the desire to start developing for iOS themselves.
At the end Carmack jokes that id actually even hired someone to be their Android guy – but it looks like he'll be "stuck on iOS development".

Was martin luther king jr catholic
What religion was Martin Luther King Jr?
Martin Luther King, Jr. was a social activist and Baptist minister who played a key role in the American civil rights movement from the mid-1950s until his assassination in 1968.
What was Martin Luther in the Catholic Church?
Martin Luther is one of the most influential figures in Western history. His writings were responsible for fractionalizing the Catholic Church and sparking the Protestant Reformation. Although Luther was critical of the Catholic Church , he distanced himself from the radical successors who took up his mantle.
Why did Martin Luther King leave the Catholic Church?
Both Luther and King Jr. publicly protested the exploitation of the poor. Luther's objections to the Catholic Church's teachings on justification (how people are saved) came to a head over indulgences. At the time, indulgences could be purchased to grant remission of penalties for sins.
Did Martin Luther die a Catholic?
His rhetoric was not directed at Jews alone but also towards Roman Catholics , Anabaptists, and nontrinitarian Christians. Luther died in 1546 with Pope Leo X's excommunication still in effect.
Died 18 February 1546 (aged 62) Eisleben, County of Mansfeld, Holy Roman Empire
Education University of Erfurt
How did Martin Luther King changed the world?
A Vision That Changed the World King was largely responsible for the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. The Civil Rights Act banned discrimination in the workforce and public accommodations based on "race, color, religion, or national origin."
How old would MLK be today?
What would be the age of Martin Luther King Jr. if alive? Martin Luther King Jr.'s exact age would be 91 years 10 months old if alive.

Did Martin Luther change the Bible?
Luther , the seminal figure in the Protestant Reformation, was also a brilliant wordsmith. In 1522, at the age of 39, he released the first printing of his translation of the New Testament , followed in 1534 by the first full version of the Bible .
What did Martin Luther not like about the Catholic Church?
Luther didn't like the fact people could buy indulgences — or reduced punishment after death. Luther had a problem with the fact the Catholic Church of his day was essentially selling indulgences — indeed, according to Professor MacCulloch, they helped pay for the rebuilding of Saint Peter's Basilica in Rome.
Does the Catholic Church still have indulgences?
You cannot buy one — the church outlawed the sale of indulgences in 1567 — but charitable contributions, combined with other acts, can help you earn one. The return of indulgences began with Pope John Paul II, who authorized bishops to offer them in 2000 as part of the celebration of the church's third millennium.
Did Martin Luther want to remove the book of James?
In his book Basic Theology, Charles Caldwell Ryrie countered the claim that Luther rejected the Book of James as being non-canonical. In his preface to the New Testament, Luther ascribed to several books of the New Testament different degrees of doctrinal value: St. John's Gospel and his first Epistle , St.
What did the 95 theses say?
Martin Luther posts 95 theses In his theses , Luther condemned the excesses and corruption of the Roman Catholic Church, especially the papal practice of asking payment—called "indulgences"—for the forgiveness of sins.

Why did Martin Luther become a monk?
In July 1505, Luther had a life-changing experience that set him on a new course to becoming a monk . Caught in a horrific thunderstorm where he feared for his life, Luther cried out to St. Luther was also driven by fears of hell and God's wrath, and felt that life in a monastery would help him find salvation.
Why do Protestants not believe in the Eucharist?
This approach is not accepted by Catholics. Additionally, Eucharist has a different meaning for Catholics and Protestants . The bread, known as the Host, embodies Jesus and can therefore be prayed to. For Protestants , the ritual only serves to commemorate Jesus' death and resurrection.
Can a Catholic receive Communion at another church?
The Catholic Church does not allow its own faithful to receive Communion from ministers of another Church , apart from in extreme cases, such as danger of death, and only if it recognizes the validity of the sacraments of that Church .
Who was the Catholic religion founded by?
According to Catholic tradition, the Catholic Church was founded by Jesus Christ . The New Testament records Jesus ' activities and teaching, his appointment of the twelve Apostles, and his instructions to them to continue his work.

Q: How to read in doubles from a data file and convert them to an array using Scanner? I am basically trying to read in doubles from a data file and convert them to an array using Scanner. I have a file called "gravityV1.txt" that has a bunch of positive doubles in it:

3.76
8.87
1.0
3.71
24.92
10.44
8.87
11.15
0.58

Other Information:
Below is most of my Source Code for a program that calculates your weight on each planet in the solar system(including Pluto). It scans a file called "gravityV1.txt", which includes the list of doubles aforementioned. Then it is supposed to read the txt file into an array, calculate the weight (in pounds) for each planet, and display the info in a table.
A Few More Things
This program uses multiple methods (in addition to the main), and if I have written anything regarding method calling incorrectly, please call me out!
In this case, the array needs to be long enough for each of the surface gravity measurements of the 9 planets to fit, but how would you denote the array if one did not know long one's array needed to be?
But Most Importantly...
I have done extensive research on this problem, and I still have run into issues. This Source Code below does not compile because of a "possible loss of precision" error. The error message also says: "required: int; found double".
Can someone please show me why this error occurs and also
how to read this file and make it into an array called gravityData?
This is what I have so far:
import java.util.Scanner;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.FileReader;
import java.io.PrintWriter;
import java.util.Arrays;

public class WeightOnPlanetsV1

      System.out.printf("%s%20s%20s\n","Planet","Gravity","Weight(lbs)");
      System.out.println("==============================================");

         {
            gravityData[i] = myFileScanner.nextDouble();
         }
      myFileScanner.close();

            weight[count] = (mass[count] * gravityData[count]) / 10;   // calculates weight based on mass, division by 10 is for some physics reason I believe
            count++;
          }

       return weight;
    }

           System.out.printf("%13.2f", gravityData[y]);
           System.out.printf("%20.2f\n",weight[y]);
       }

  } // end main

I welcome any help at all! Thank you!
Edit:
Alright this is what i have now for the loadGravityData method:
{
    Scanner myFileScanner = new Scanner(new FileReader("gravity1.txt"));
  int count = 0;
  double [] gravityData = new double[myFileScanner.nextInt()];
     for(int i = 0; i < gravityData.length; i++)
     {
        gravityData[i] = myFileScanner.nextDouble();
     }
  myFileScanner.close();
  return gravityData;
}

And I get "Main.java:20: error: cannot return a value from method whose result type is void" ??

A: Write following code to convert file data to array. You need add all data to List, because you do not know the size of array, than convert List to array.
public static double [] loadGravityData( ) throws IOException
{
 Scanner sc=new Scanner(new File("gravity1.txt"));
    List<Double> arr=new ArrayList<>();
    while(sc.hasNext()){
        arr.add(sc.nextDouble());
    }
    double doubleArr[]=new double[arr.size()];
    for (int i=0;i< arr.size();i++) {
        doubleArr[i]=arr.get(i);
    }
  return   doubleArr;
}

A: double [] gravityData = new double[myFileScanner.nextDouble()];
Presumably the first entry in the file is 99 not 2.53, so you can simply
double [] gravityData = new double[myFileScanner.nextInt()];

An Instant Solution to Crop PST Files Into Smaller Once!
To cut the single PST file size, get the world class faster tool to crop Outlook PST files which gets heavy in size and cross 2GB size limit. It offers you highly diligent Split PST Software to crop Outlook 2010, crop Outlook 2007, crop Outlook 2003, crop Outlook 2002, and crop Outlook 2000 easily into different smaller parts. You are allowed to Crop PST Files according to its size, s selected folders and date.
Due to elongated use of Outlook a single PST files gets large in size & speed becomes sluggish and adversely affects working environment. Sometimes it also corruptsOutlook PST files which are another major loss. To protect the files from any filthyreasons, crop PST files to increase Outlook's performance and to save filesfrom being ruined due to corruption.
Split PST by Date : By this option , Outlook users can split PST into slected date range.Users need to select extact date before and after in which they wish to divide Outlook PST .
Split PST by Size : With Split PST by Size option, Users can divide PST files by desired Size. For e.g. If they have PST files of 4 GB then they either split that files into 4 Files of 1 GB or 2 files of 2 GB.
Split PST by Folder: By using Split PST by Folder option, Users can break Outlook PST by folder (inbox, outbox, draft, sent items, etc). The software creates new folder for splitted items.
PST files arranged by its Date (also Year, Size, Folders, Selected Folders)in single location of Outlook.
No chance of Outlook PST corruption.
You can also retrieve broken or damaged PST files and their headers structures.
You can easily check reliabilty and functinality of the tool by free downloading its demo version. Demo version allow you to split 50 emails without any restriction.

And, if that is not enough crafty Christmas goodness for you then I'd love to introduce you to a sweet new friend, Lisa (Lisa's Craft Blog) who is having a BIG crafty celebration over at her blog. Her 26 Day Christmas Craft Marathon features all kinds of tutorials and fun holiday crafting ideas. Lisa featured one of my tutorials on her blog and look at her version of the ornament, beautiful!!!
I hope you will drop by and say hello. Thanks Lisa for letting me be a star for a day on your blog!
I had someone ask me this week why I was not selling these holiday tutorials instead of posting them for free. My answer was a simple one. These tutorials are a gift to all of you who take precious minutes out of your day to visit my blog, browse around silently or leave a comment, or send me an email. I cannot possibly send a gift to each and everyone of you but I sure wish I could. The gift I can extend is sharing creative ideas and it brings me such joy to see your creativity sparked in return.
I know that many of you, like me, experience the joy of crafting whether it is for personal pleasure, gift giving, or even for profit as I know many of you have online or physical shops or shows you sell your creations at. I place few stipulations on the use of these tutorials other than I ask for the actual tutorial not to be reproduced without permission, a link back is always nice if you mention one in a post, and if you choose to print it out that it is for personal use. What you choose to do with the finished product is up to you, give as a gift, keep and enjoy, or sell. This is just a very small way that I can express my gratitude to you, my blog friends.
So lovely to see your smiling face on your blog. You're beautiful! Thank you for visitng me. We had a lovely Thanksgiving with our family.
I'm sorry you're not feeling well. I pray for a speedy recovery from the migrane. I'm going to visit your new friend now. . .
Oh Oh Oh...I'm going to have to go digging in my Christmas stuff after all because I have that star I made from your tutorial last year and I want it. I'd not have remembered it without this post. And the little birds...how I love them and made them for everybody. Mine and my mother's and my Nan's are still flying around the house even now. God bless you for being the generous angel you are. Still...a book! You need to work on a book. Okay, I'm going to stop poking now.
They are all so beautiful!You are very talented my friend!Have a great day Nancy!
I love your tutorials. I made a lot of those birds a couple of years ago, but gave them away. I think I need to make a new flock for my tree.
Your ornaments are simply gorgeous. I've got to sit myself down and see if I can do some of these - and thank you so much for sharing your "how-to's". Sweet, sweet lady! Have a wonderful week!
Dear Sandy, I'm so sorry to hear that you were plagued with a 3 day migraine at this busy time of the year. I do hope you are feeling better and that the holidays bring you and your family much joy and good cheer.
Such a sweet heart you have... your ornaments are lovely.
Thank you so Much for Sharing your Fabulous Tutorials! Your Inspiration and Generosity is so much Appreciated!

From: GoNintendo Podcast Highlights (Ep. 802): Zelda voice actress responds to online hate
This is a reply to devil_rising's comment
fylo Knight
Thu Dec 31 20 01:12pm
It's not the criticism the issue, but the online harassment of individuals. WHich does happen and has become expected to happen. Movies and games aren't made by individuals but groups of people taking decisions.
I'll argue VA is needed if a series want to put more emphasis in it's storytelling for a mainstream audience. Fact is most people have become used to hear their characters speak or act the part in games that have more cinematic storytelling, which this game has, and the most the Zelda series has ever had.
In regards to VA, I think that's still growing pains, considering the direction seems to be different in every language handling the same script but with different delivery. Japanese games have still to improve compared to western developers in regards to acting drama in their games. Since it can still feel very stilted.


How can I edit my project on another computer (pc at home and laptop while traveling)? Copying files to the other PC does not work as I then get plenty of errors/warnings that many files/references could not be found.
I cannot find the right information when looking up this question online. I only get instructions on how to create/debug/deploy a project.
I use VS Community 2017 latest version on both PCs.
Use source control like GIT and a repository like GitHub. It's free.
I'm not sure I'm getting the point with these links. I want to use my code on another PC not to upload it to some servers.
Centralizing the code on a code repository is how sharing code is done in the industry.
Basically, one computer connected to to the repo checkouts files, updates, then check the files when done. The other computer gets that latest code from the repo and now the projects are in sync between the two computers.
Please take a few minutes to read the linked docs.
did you forget to add links to the docs or do you mean the sites you linked in first reply?
I already started reading there before answering your previous post and I cannot see how it can help me as I'm not looking for an online solution but simply want to have a way to copy my project from PC 1 to PC 2 (maybe even with a synching tool) and then just edit my code on the PC I have at hand at that moment.
It's a central repository to which you can push code and get your code. This is used to synchronize the development effort accross team members but you can use that for your own projects to keep your PC and sync (and avoid loosing all your work if your PC crashes, also you get the full history of all your changes).
Well the problem was that nuget is only part of the problem as for some reasons it did not automatically download missing libraries, but there were many more issues. So I'm looking for some kind of tutorial on how to get my project from a to b an vice versa.
I did not forget, the links are in my first post.
Source control specifically solves this problem. I'm confident if you try source control then you will quickly see the benefits. At the very least, you be able to track code changes. I can't image coding without source control.
I'm checking with these links. Is there a possibility to use such a solution like git without using a third party server but by saving the solution on my own server?
Well I did exactly the same thing as stated as solution in your second link but to no avail. I get plenty of nuget and dll errors. For some reason the solution cannot download missing/faulty files from nuget on the target pc. VS version is the very same. Even downloading them manually does not work.
It was actually rather an attempt to explain that it should work and that instead you should really start from the error message you have. By the way, more likely a source control system - that does as well a copy of your project - may perhaps not solve your issue.
If this is a really a download issue, nuget could be blocked by a proxy or a firewall. You should have an error message on the output window in VS.
In short, it would be IMO much better to start from which error you have and then trying to see if one could figure out how to fix THIS error rather than trying "random" things such as trying to follow a tutorial or using a source code control system hoping it will "magically" solve your current (and unknown to us) issue.
Well I can download from nuget but it does not seem to have an impact on the errors that the dlls would be missing.
I'll have to check when I get back to the office in about 10 days regarding the error messages. Up to now I tried to solve the problem with the help of the error messages I got in VS.
Then maybe some packages were just not installed through nuget and are still missing ? This is a message about missing references ? Check the packages.config file to see if those packages are known to nuget.
The better you describe the error (possibly just posting the error message) the easier it is to start right away with trying to solve your issue. Else we have first to guess about which wrong thing happened on your side.
You could just use OneDrive and put the project out there, which could be accessible by both machines keeping it simple.
OneDrive is not activated in our company for security reasons (GDPR), so this option does not work. That's the same reason why I cannot use 3rd party websites to store repositories.
Maybe your company allows you to use Remote Desktop Sharing where you can login to the domain via VPN from the laptop and access the computer at work that will have access to the project, which is at one location.
Git is basically client side version control with the option to sync to a central code repository. Every dev machine has a copy of the source and can build an unlimited number of branches. This allows many developers to work on features without interrupting others. These concepts are thoroughly covered in the docs and links provided above.
Source code is usually very important to a Dev Shop. Generally the Shop has a central code repository secured on a server. A basic flow is a developer fetches the newest feature branch from the code repository. The developers works on the code locally where many local check-in can happen. Once the code is good to go, The developer will sync the local repo with the central repo. Keep in mind the previous flow is simplified as there are various tools within Git that allow Shops to customize the SDLC.
IMHO, it does make sense that your company has strict General Data Protection Regulations but allows for manually copying the code base between machines.
Anyway, as mentioned above. If xcopy is the preferred method and doing so causes reference errors then I assume the project is not encapsulated within a folder and there are differences in the framework versions installed on the machines. But that is just a guess as we cannot see your machines and you have not provided the errors.
Seems I got rid of the Nuget errors. I went to options unselected all nuget options, saved, closed VS, started VS again, went to options selected all the nuget restore options and now whenever I get to a project with missing files they are automatically restored. Seems there was a bug in VS stating the options were enabled but they were not.
Made another sync of the files and now everything works correctly.


I'll put up some links if anyone's interested in building one. This one works well, but for the extra time it took to make, the t7 design one is really good value for what it costs.
Still plugging away at this. Noticed the exhaust was blowing so welded up the pin holes and then cleaned it up with a die grinder.
Cut off the remainder of the old tie bar mounts, and welded in a couple of reinforcing triangles.
Gave the rocker cover a coat of matt black, just to tidy up my scrappy looking engine bay.
Looking very neat and tidy.
Still got a mess of wiring, but i'll be making a new loom from scratch once it's got an MOT. Oh and a more appropriate coolant bottle, too.
A quick note on the bike carbs: I drilled out the main jets to 1.6mm, drilled out the pilot jets, and it was still too lean. After a LOT of reading, I tried blocking up the pilot air jets - apparently part of rejetting kits for the gsxr600 is a set of bungs for this. Running a LOT better now, but too rich. Going to try and dial it a bit leaner on the pilot screws and maybe try some slightly smaller jets.
Last edited by MiniLandy; 19-06-2013 at 09:50 PM.
Lol, it's actually starting to look tidier every time you throw up a pic.
Right then, had a problem with coolant temps, turned out to be down to the fact I didn't have a bypass hose. It now sits nicely at about 90 degrees, hovering up and down.
Did a few pre MOT checks and discovered I needed a new steering rack, so bought one of those.
Went for the MOT, failed on a track rod end, front numberplate (apparently the regs have been tightened), brakes (master cylinder has failed - leaking into the servo) and emissions.
Ordered the new master, whipped the old one off and cleaned up the servo. Then mounted the old numberplate.
you did good,, whats the crack with the dredid emissons?
Carbs need adjusting, currently way too rich. 1.6mm is far too big a main jet size for a 1.4, for anyone reading this Still not sure on the float heights either.
Basically, bike carbs are a massive pain in the ar$e.
now dose the main jet have a taperd pin inside it thats lifted bt air movement?
[automatic] via the c,f,m of the down stroke of the piston??
Slightly more complex than that, but sort of. The main jet feeds the carb's inner pipework that leads to the needle jet.
lets take 4 carbs running 2000 cc car is that 500 cc per carb?? in my mind that's a massive shortfall, seems in FACT it would take all 4 carbs to run 1 of the 2000 cc pistons.
Don't people look at the power these 600 cc bikes make and if the donor engine makes similar power the carbs are OK?
Shaun, about the float bowls: The float level affects low/midrange rpm power at full throttle. It's also affected by the fact the carbs aren't sat at the same angle in my car as they are on the bike.
As for being able to supply enough air/fuel, you've got to remember that the bike's engine is spinning at anything up to 12krpm, meaning a lot of air and fuel is going through it considering it's a 600cc engine. Also, as ArtStu pointed out, the bike makes 90 odd bhp at the rear wheel whereas the Rover 214 makes about 103 at the fly (80 ish at the wheels?).


Tip Pick for Packing- Find out what amenities the hotel already has, i.e., robes, hairdryers, shampoo, and don't pack those items. This information is usually listed on the hotel's website, and can potentially save you a lot of space in your luggage. The Ultimate Guide to Packing Light: 45 Tips to Lighten Your Load from Go Green Travel Green is pretty long, but has some good ideas and a valuable list of resources if you are prepping for a major trip and want to do it right.
Tip Pick for Travel with Pal- Evelyn Hannon, blogging and tweeting as Journeywoman, suggests: Travelling with a pal? Carry 50% of her things in UR bag + vice versa. If 1 bag is lost, UR both still OK.
Tip Pick for Business Travel- Share Contact Info: There's nothing worse than flying into a city only to find your host has had to leave town unexpectedly. Minimize your chances of disappointment by sharing your phone numbers (definitely your mobile) with your host, clients and any assistants who may keep their schedule. From Business Trips: Make the Most of Every Minute on Forbes.com.
Tip Pick to Get an Upgrade- If a flight is oversold and you are traveling alone, then dress in business / casual business attire and sit off on your own, but in the sight line of the airline agent at the gate. Sometimes we need to upgrade a passenger or two at the very last minute, and a well-dressed, solo traveler is easier to upgrade than one wearing sweatpants and sneakers. From Top 10 Ways to Get Upgraded on a Flight on About.com: Air Travel.
Another Tip Pick to Get an Upgrade- The following has worked for me in the past: A smile goes a long way. If you are nice as possible to the check-in and gate agents then sometimes if a flight is oversold and you just happen to be one of the nicest passengers that a check-in agent meets that day, they may put a comment on your passenger record such as "nice passenger if you need to upgrade." From Top 10 Ways to Get Upgraded on a Flight on About.com: Air Travel.
Tip Pick for Your Hotel- From Evelyn Hannon, Journeywoman: Carry a biz card from ur hotel when exploring a new destination.a taxi can get you home. Also: Carry UR hotel's business card with U. In an emergency U can call their front desk 4 help/advice.
Tip Pick for Travel with Kids- A fun idea from Journeywoman: Allow kids 2 buy+write 1 postcard per day. Save. Makes gr8 show+tell travel album for family records.
Tip Pick for Safety- This piece on Safe Travel Tips reminded me of a story I had heard previously from Rand McNally on the Road about what was dubbed the "Twitter Burglar." Someone tweeted about going on vacation, and his home was then burglarized during the trip. While it is unconfirmed that there really was a connection between these events, it is a good reminder not to get too comfortable with the illusion of privacy these types of sites can give. Let everyone know what a great trip you just had, not are having, so you don't unknowingly share that your home is unoccupied with someone that may take advantage of the fact. There is more information on the Twitter Burglar in the article from CNET News.
Tip Pick for Foreign Travel- More from Evelyn Hannon, Journeywoman: Looking for a bathroom? Use the word 'toilet'. That's the term likely 2 B understood by most people in most places.
Tip Pick for Remembering Your Trip- Another from Journeywoman: Always cc: yourself when emailing on the road. These notes become your journal at trip's end.
And finally, not a tip but a quote: Focus on the journey, not the destination. Joy is found not in finishing an activity but in doing it. – Greg Anderson. From Twenty Great Travel Quotes on Taking off Travel Blog.
We hope that with these tips and resources you can enjoy your journey to its fullest.

Michel Loève (n. 22 ianuarie 1907, Jaffa, Palestina - d. 17 februarie 1979, Berkely, California) a fost un matematician și statistician franco - american, de origine evreu, născut în Palestina, (atunci în Imperiul Otoman, azi în Israel). Este considerat unul din părinții fondatori ai teoriei moderne a probabilității, fiind autorul unui manual devenit clasic în acest domeniu, publicat pentru prima dată în 1955. A fost cunoscut în lumea probabilităților și statisticii pentru teorema Karhunen - Loève, respectiv pentru transformarea Karhunen - Loève.

Primii ani
Născut la Jaffa, în Palestina sub regimul de ocupație otoman, (azi situată în Israel) și-a petrecut cea mai mare parte a copilăriei în Egipt, inclusiv anii de liceu .

Viața si activitatea in Franța
În 1931 a obținut titlul de A.B., in 1936 cel de B.L, iar în 1941 doctoratul in științe sub îndrumarea renumitului probabilist Paul Levy. În 1936 i s-a
decernat titlul de Actuaire al Universității din Lyon.
Dupa terminarea studiilor , din cauza originii sale etnice, a fost deportat sub ocupația germană nazistă în lagărul de concentrare de la Drancy. Supraviețuind ,dupa eliberare, a fost angajat , între 1944 - 1946, ca șef de lucrări la Institutul
Henri Poincaré de la Universitatea din Paris

Anii in Anglia și America. Activitatea la Berkeley

Între 1946-1948 a fost lector, apoi conferențiar la Universitatea din Londra.Ulterior a fost profesor oaspete la Universitatea Columbia, dupa care din inițiativa lui Jerzy Neyman, probabilist cunoscut, a fost primit în anul 1948 ca profesor la Universitatea Berkeley, in California.

A fost acolo mai întâi profesor de matematică,apoi din 1955, profesor de statistică.
Conform așteptărilor lui Neyman venirea lui Loève a contribuit la transformarea Universității Berkeley într-un centru mondial în domeniul probabilităților. S-a distins ca pedagog și ca iubitor de cultură. S-a interesat și de politică, de justiție, precum și de arte.
Între 1950- 1958 a fost numit în comitetul editorial al senatului academic ,îndeplinind acolo funcția de președinte între 1954- 1958.Așa cum a refuzat să accepte prezența de bariere impermeabile între disciplinele universitare , la fel
s-a ridicat împotriva izolării universității de preocupările mai largi ale umanității.
Ca președinte al Universității Berkeley a inițiat editarea de albume de artă modernă și a fost în contact cu grupuri de pictori din California și Paris.

Din 1967 a funcționat - la recomandarea unul comitet al senatului academic - în postul interdisciplinar de profesor de arte și științe . În această ultimă calitate a ținut cursul intitulat "Cultura și individul" menit, după cum s-a exprimat, să indice mijloace de a reechilibra " atomizarea culturii in universitate".

În 1953 a obținut cetățenia americană.

Ultimii ani

Din anul 1974 a fost numit profesor emeritus și i s-a decernat distincția cea mai înaltă a universității, "Berkeley Citation". Mai mulți ani a suferit de un handicap dureros la picioare și a trebuit să se ajute la mers de un baston.
Tulburarea a fost descifrată ca datorându- se unui defect foarte rar de utilizare a vitaminei D și a fost până la urmă tratată cu succes.
A murit la 17 februarie 1979 de o embolie pulmonară.
Nu impărtășise prietenilor starea sa gravă de sănătate din ultimele zile, nici faptul că s-a internat in spital.
A fost căsătorit și a avut un fiu, Pierre.
La intrarea în sala mare a clubului Facultății (Faculty Club) de la Berkeley, unde fusese unul din cei mai activi și admirați frecventatori ,a fost fixată o placă de alamă în memoria sa, pe care scrie:
"He inspirited this place" ( El a dat spirit acestui loc")

Premiul Loève
Văduva lui Michel Loève, Line, a instituit Premiul Loève în memoria sa. Având o valoare de 30,000 dolari ,el se decernează o dată la doi ani pentru contribuții deosebite în domeniul probabilităților matematice.
Laureații premiului Loeve au fost:

 2005 	Wendelin Werner.
 2003 	Oded Schramm.
 2001 	Yuval Pérès.
 1999 	Alain-Sol Sznitman.
 1997 	Jean-François Le Gall.
 1995 	Michel Talagrand.
 1993 	David Aldous.

I love this new option, but the CC is very small.
Is there a way to increase the font size?
"Hey Melissa the size of the captions is linked to the player font ..."

After years of spending many nights in luxury (and many not so luxury) hotels, I find it hard to get excited about 'just another hotel'. However, the InterContinental Le Moana Bora Bora delivered – it is one of the best hotels I ever stayed at! Read this InterContinental Le Moana Bora Bora review to find out why!
We took a direct Air Tahiti flight from Moorea after our stay at the InterContinental Moorea and after landing we made our way to the free shuttle that the airline provides. We assumed this would be a tiny boat going over a small lagoon. How wrong we were; this shuttle service is operated by a new catamaran that speeds its way through the Bora Bora lagoon – and it was so scenic. There are few things more uplifting than arriving at Bora Bora in the late afternoon – the yellow light, the wind, the incredible colors. I was impressed, I have to admit!
After this 'shuttle treat' we walked along the pier and asked the sole taxi driver for the price to the InterContinental Le Moana, which he quoted in perfect English at CFP 2,000 for the ride. We asked inside Tourist Information and got the same price. Off we went and a quick 10 minutes later we arrived at the InterContinental Le Moana, Bora Bora.
You can also use the hotel transfer service which gets you to the hotel by private boat, but this will set you back CFP 5,000 per person one-way. You can't miss them in the Bora Bora Airport arrivals hall.
While other reports state that the hotel is pushy about the transfer service, we didn't experience this. We always had a choice and we walked right by the InterContinental Hotels arrival booth at Bora Bora Airport. At the hotel we stated that we were using the taxi to arrive and depart and that was it; we were never charged for their transport.
Check-in can be a bit odd since you are greeted in the front desk area (which has a ton of mosquitoes) and on to the bar area with a drink. This is where check-in happens, but the friendly agent had to constantly go back to the front desk for papers and photocopies. Everyone was friendly and really relaxed. I liked that the staff presented a knowledgeable, amiable attitude but did not drown us with service as it often is with luxury resorts.
I had redeemed free nights for my stay at the property and to my surprise again my IHG Platinum status (from the Chase credit card) got me an upgrade for the first night! And an upgrade here means an overwater bungalow, since it only has beach and overwater bungalows. I did not see that coming!
The friendly agent escorted us all the way out to Bungalow 32, which is a solid 10-minute walk in the sun.
The bungalow clearly wasn't the newest and showed some wear and tear, especially on the outside, but it was still in great shape.
The sofa table in the living room is made out of glass and you can open it to feed the fish (which they weren't unhappy about). The area under the bungalow has superbly clear water and a few corals are left (one under each glass table pane) so it gives you the illusion that you are looking onto a coral reef. OMG!
The deck area is fabulous too, with lots of privacy and direct water access.
The bungalow felt spacious and came with a king-size bed and a large bathroom.
The AC took some time to cool the bungalow down, but after 30 minutes it had a firm grip on it.
I'm not sure if it is a common thing with overwater bungalows (as this was my first time!) but it was pretty noisy – the wind and the water compounded into noticeable noise, especially when I wanted to sleep.
The internet here is fast and is really fast at times; 10 Mbit to servers in the US was not an issue. Every bungalow has its own router.
For our second night we headed to the beach bungalow, which has the same configuration as the overwater bungalow. The interior is identical, but instead of a deck you get your own 'private beach'. I must say I liked that arrangement even more, as it felt more spacious than the deck. Plus the view is even prettier from the beach bungalow out to the private island for the Sofitel.
The hotel is built on a tiny sliver of land and there is not much of a common grounds area to speak of. The pool is tiny and not worth it. The bar and restaurant area is small as well. The hotel scores highly, nevertheless, for its beautiful beach and the incredible lagoon. The water quality is better than at most pools I usually swim at. The water is about 3 to 4 feet deep until you reach the buoys and even then would only slowly deepen.
There were some fish, corals, shells and the occasional sea urchin; fortunately I was unable to detect anything bigger. Clearly the best activity in the resort is to hang out in and around the lagoon. Floating in the warm, super-clear water by your deck (wearing reef shoes) will be the activity you came here for and it's picture-perfect!
The hotel provides free sea kayaks and stand up paddle equipment, which were all well-used by the guests.
Next to the hotel is the only (!) public beach on Bora Bora. Note that it is not the crowded affair of sun lovers that you may expect; it's not directly visible from the hotel and while just a hundred yards away, you could be in another world.
We expected high prices for food and while the InterContinental Moorea was expensive, Le Moana Bora Bora added another 20% to 30% more for the same things. However, we had accepted the 50% pre-pay offer for breakfast for IHG Rewards Club members, which came to CFP 2,025 per person per night instead. That gives you a solid (albeit not stellar) breakfast buffet with good espresso, pancakes, bread and cheese (and many more options that I tend to ignore in case of peril to my own health).
The dining area would go upscale at night and most entrees would price around $50 per person before tax and service. We chose to stop by the pizzeria and grocery store right outside (but are not affiliated with the hotel) instead. The pizza was delicious (get a tomato base!) and was just $12 and the grocery store made it easy to fill up on water and alcohol supplies.
There weren't any other options in that village area that we liked; we bypassed a suspicious-looking burger place and snack bar. Vaitape town likely has more options (although we did not try there) and the hotel offers a return shuttle for CFP 1,800 per person. The main town also has a bigger grocery store with a wider selection.
In conclusion, this is certainly one of my favorite hotels in the world! The down-to-earth and friendly staff, the overwater bungalows and fast internet all provide the 'groundwork' for the incredible natural wonder that you have pretty much all to yourself. I could have spent days just hanging around the lagoon and dabbling in the water during the day and stargazing at night. It's really that beautiful that I want to go back already!

Cuppy is a popular Nigerian DJ
Cuppy has been announced as the host and curator of a new Apple Music weekly radio show called "Africa Now."

Each and every week I'll be bringing a dynamic guide to discovering and celebrating the biggest and best sounds from across Africa."
Real name Florence Ifeoluwa Otedola, described it as a "life-changing" contract and a "dream job" on social media revealing, "I'm the first-ever African @AppleMusic @Beats1 radio host? Pinch me! This is for you Africa"

The first episode of "Africa Now" will be aired on Sunday 31 May, 3pm (Nigerian time). Cuppy will showcase Africa's new forms of music, highlife, Afrobeats, hip hop, Alte, Afro bongo and RnB, a blend of traditional and contemporary music mixed for her audience in the weekly one hour show.
As a face and voice behind Apple Music in Africa, Cuppy will bring the world to the continent and vice versa.
The deal with Apple Music is labelled a "watershed" and "first of a kind" by the entertainment industry watchers. Besides DJing, the show will see Cuppy entertain listeners with interviews with artists across the continent and beyond.
"The show represents a journey from West to East and North to South, but more importantly a narrative of Africa then to Africa now," Cuppy said. African music and artists in recent years have gained widespread recognition outside the continent and onto the pop charts in the US, Europe and Asia.
Last year, Apple Music created the Africa Now Playlist that featured Burna Boy's hit "Money Play." The playlist is constantly updated accommodating some of the hottest hits in Africa.
Proud to announce my NEW weekly RADIO SHOW called #AfricaNow on @AppleMusic  This is for YOU Africa! 🌍💥🎵 Promise to do my people proud! ✊🏾 #CuppyOnAMission
