Toyota picked the New York Auto Show to show off the refreshed Toyota Venza.
The big change to Venza is in the front. The old, many horizontal bars grill has been replaced with a new two-bar grill. Other changes to front include new head and fog lights, and side mirrors. The back end has updated taillights.
Inside, minor changes have taken place. A new steering wheel and Toyota's Entune infotainment system is added to the options list.
The Toyota Venza crossover now offers enhanced exterior styling, added value through several new standard convenience features and updated option packages that include the Entune™ multi-media system for 2013 model year.
Venza's aerodynamic shape has been tastefully modified with a new upper and lower grille, fog lamps and rear taillights. The updated styling is complemented by a new 19-inch wheel design and three new exterior colors: Attitude Black, Cypress Pearl, and Cosmic Gray Mica.
The 2013 Venza is available in LE, XLE and Limited grades. The LE and XLE models are available with all powertrain combinations: four-cylinder, V6, front-wheel drive (FWD) or all-wheel drive (AWD); the Venza Limited is powered by the V6 engine only, in front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive configurations. Value has been enhanced and ordering simplified with the addition of many standard features in all three grades.
Venza was developed specifically for the North American market, appealing to customers who prioritize bold, innovative design, a luxurious and refined interior and excellent handling, but they still require roominess and versatility. Venza provides SUV flexibility with its fold-flat rear seats, spacious cargo area, elevated driver sightline, available AWD and up to 3,500-lbs. towing capacity.
The Venza design was the creation of Toyota's Calty Design studios in Newport Beach, Calif. and Ann Arbor, Mich. Calty designers leaned toward a sleek crossover concept with a wide stance that featured a sporty exterior, but they also included important SUV attributes, such as cargo space, towing capability and available all-wheel drive performance.
Venza was primarily engineered at Toyota Technical Center in Ann Arbor, Mich. And It is assembled at Toyota Motor Manufacturing Kentucky (TMMK), in Georgetown, Ky. More than 70 percent of Venza's components come from North American suppliers.
The 2013 Venza offers four-cylinder and V6 models in FWD and AWD versions. Venza's 2.7-liter four-cylinder engine delivers 181 horsepower at 5,800 rpm and 182 lb.-ft. of torque at 4,200 rpm. The four-cylinder Venza is EPA-rated at 21 MPG city/27 MPG highway for the FWD model and 20/25 for the AWD.
The 3.5-liter V6 produces 268 horsepower at 6,200 rpm and 246 lb.-ft. of torque at 4,700 rpm. The V6 FWD model has EPA-estimated fuel economy ratings of 19 MPG city/26 MPG highway and 18/25 for the AWD. Both engines are teamed with a six-speed sequential-shift electronically controlled automatic transmission with intelligence (ECT-i). The six-speed ECT-i provides an engaging driving experience and helps optimize fuel economy. Uphill/downhill shift logic selects the proper gear for driving conditions and helps provide moderate engine braking during downhill driving.
An available Towing Prep Package on V6 models equips Venza with an engine oil cooler, larger radiator fan and heavy-duty alternator.
Venza's body structure relies on high tensile-strength steel, gussets and cross members for its strength, rigidity and optimized weight. Front suspension consists of a rigid L-arm-type MacPherson strut with a stabilizer bar, and the rear suspension is a dual-link MacPherson strut setup with stabilizer bar. Electric power steering (EPS), with its ideally weighted steering effort, contributes to the Venza's spirited driving dynamics. EPS helps provide a more direct steering feel at both high and low speeds and delivers just-right assist when maneuvering the vehicle into tight parking spaces.
Toyota's STAR Safety System is standard on all Toyota models and features enhanced Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), Traction Control (TRAC) Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD), Brake Assist and the Smart Stop Technology (SST).
VSC automatically adjusts engine output and the vehicle's braking force at each wheel to help control loss of traction during cornering. TRAC helps maintain traction during challenging driving conditions. Brake Assist is designed to determine if the driver is attempting emergency braking. If the driver has not stepped firmly enough on the brake pedal to engage ABS, Brake Assist supplements the applied braking power until the driver releases the pedal. Smart Stop offers an additional level of safety by automatically reducing engine power when a vehicle's brake and accelerator pedals are applied simultaneously under certain driving conditions, helping to bring the vehicle to a controlled stop. Hill-start Assist Control (HAC), also standard on all Venza models, temporarily provides pressure to the brakes while the vehicle is stopped on an incline to help ensure easier starting with no rollback.
In addition, Venza provides seven airbags, including a driver's knee airbag, driver and front-passenger front-seat-mounted side airbags, and front and rear side-curtain airbags. Front seat-belt pretensioners retract the seat belt in a severe frontal collision, while the dual-stage force limiters help limit the seat-belt force applied to the driver's and front passenger's chests.
Driver and front-passenger seats employ active headrests. If the vehicle is struck from the rear, a cable-actuated mechanism will move the headrest upward and forward to help limit movement of the occupant's head.
Venza's generous utility includes several clever storage locations and lighting. The adjustable center console features a sliding cover and armrest, three iPod®/MP3 player holders with wire concealment features, and a large storage compartment.
The 2013 Venza now offers the Toyota Entune multimedia system. This system leverages the mobile smartphone to provide a richer in-vehicle experience with fully integrated access to navigation, entertainment and information services.
Toyota Entune supports engaging mobile apps, such as Bing, OpenTable, and movietickets.com, along with accessing useful travel-related services, such as live weather, traffic, fuel information (location and price), stocks, and sports. Toyota Entune has a large selection of music options available to a vehicle, including iHeartRadio's 750+ stations, and Pandora's personalized music service.
The audio systems combined with Entune feature a best-in-class, advanced conversational voice recognition system that helps the driver to stay focused by eliminating the need to memorize thousands of voice commands.
The Venza LE grade comes well equipped with new standard features that include a blind spot mirror and outer mirror turn signals with puddle lamps. Additional key standard features include dual-zone automatic climate control with air filter and second-row-seat vents; eight-way power-adjustable driver's seat with power lumbar; 3.5-inch LCD multi-information display; a tilt/telescopic adjustable steering wheel with integrated audio controls; an overhead console with map lights; rear-seat adjustable personal reading lamps and three 12-volt power outlets.
The LE also comes standard with the Display Audio system, which includes a 6.1-inch touch screen, AM/FM CD player with MP3/WMA playback capability, six speakers, auxiliary audio jack, USB port with iPod® connectivity and control, vehicle information, hands-free phone capability, phone book access and music streaming via Bluetooth® wireless technology.
The available Convenience Package for the Venza LE adds a power liftgate and a rear back-up camera. The Preferred Package adds a panoramic glass roof with front power moonroof and Display Audio with Navigation and Entune.
The Venza XLE provides a major luxury and convenience upgrade to the vehicle and adds standard features such as leather-trimmed seating surfaces, steering wheel and shift knob; four-way power passenger seat; multi-stage heated front seats; driver seat memory; reverse tilt outer mirrors, Display Audio with Navigation and Entune; anti-theft system with alarm and engine immobilizer; Smart Key System with Push Button Start and illuminated entry; power rear liftgate and a back-up camera. Also standard on the XLE is a TFT multi-information display that can be customized to adjust the font size and content, and navigation voice instructions available in Spanish, French or English (XM Traffic is only available in English).
Aside from powertrain choices, the XLE offers one major option the Premium Package, which includes a panoramic glass roof with front power moonroof, and Display Audio with Navigation , Entune and JBL®, that includes 6.1-inch Touch Screen, AM/FM CD Player with MP3/WMA Playback Capability, 13 JBL® Synthesis Speakers including Subwoofer, SiriusXM™ Satellite Radio (Includes three-month trial subscription to XM Select Package), HD Radio™ withiTunes® Tagging, Auxiliary Audio Jack, USB Port with iPod® Connectivity and Control, Vehicle Information, Hands-Free Phone Capability, Phonebook Access, Advanced Voice Recognition, and Music Streaming Via Bluetooth® Wireless Technology.
The V6-only, top-of-line Venza Limited comes standard with the Premium HDD Navigation with Entune™ and JBL® multimedia system. The system features a seven-inch high resolution touch screen with split-screen capability, AM/FM CD Player with MP3/WMA Playback Capability, 13 JBL® Synthesis™ Speakers including Subwoofer, SiriusXM™ Satellite Radio capability (Includes three-month trial subscription to XM Select Package); HD Radio™ with iTunes® Tagging, Auxiliary Audio Jack, USB Port with iPod® Connectivity and Control, Vehicle Information, Hands-Free Phone Capability, Phonebook Access, Advanced Voice Recognition, and Music Streaming Via Bluetooth® Wireless Technology.
The Venza Limited combines the Premium HDD Navigation with Entune and JBL and the panoramic glass roof with front power moonroof, and it adds high-intensity discharge (HID) headlights with automatic high beams and LED Daytime Running Lights. The high-beam feature detects oncoming vehicles and automatically switches the headlamps from high- to low-beam.
The Venza sports an aerodynamic shape with short overhangs, forward A-pillar, crisp character lines, and a low roofline. Continuous brushstroke lines run from the front grille to the D-pillar. A bold front end features a distinctive grille, headlights and fog lamps for a sporty yet refined appearance. Venza's sophisticated and confident appearance is completed by an angled rear hatch, spoiler and wide wraparound taillights that interconnect with the hatch door. Tight tire-to-body gaps contribute to the sophisticated, refined appearance.
The Venza design is highly practical, with a rear load-in height that is almost as low as that of the Sienna minivan. The generously sized liftgate opening enhances the vehicle's utility. An available power liftgate integrates jam protection that detects obstruction in the door's path and reverses the motor. Venza provides a low step-over height for improved ergonomics, and because the closed doors cover the rocker panels, the driver and passengers are protected from accumulated road-dust while getting into and out of the vehicle.
The Venza interior is designed to enhance driving enjoyment and offer premium comfort. Venza is available in three interior colors: Ivory, Light Gray, and Black, which is new for 2013. Each color is offered in fabric on LE and leather on XLE and Limited.
The flow of the center console creates a unique "60/60" design that gives both the driver and front passenger the feeling that 60 percent of the space is accessible from their seating position. All grades have a standard Optitron® speedometer and tachometer. The XLE and Limited grades also include a TFT multi-color center instrument panel display. Dual-zone automatic climate system controls are centrally located on the upper console, providing easy access for both the driver and front passenger.
Toyota's 36-month/36,000 mile basic new-vehicle warranty applies to all components other than normal wear and maintenance items. Additional 60-month warranties cover powertrain for 60,000 miles and corrosion with no mileage limitation. Toyota dealers have complete details on the limited warranty.
The Venza will also come standard with Toyota Care, a complimentary plan covering normal factory-scheduled maintenance and 24-hour roadside assistance for two years or 25,000 miles, whichever comes first.
Vehicle is ok, even nice on the outside from certian angles. The inside I just do not feel. I get this Cheap Plastic feel, down right honest. I get a Pontiac Cheap Plastic interior from the old GM feel on this.
I hate the center stack and having the shifter there on the side eating up leg room. Hate the small tiny dials on the nave screen area.
The steering wheel reminds me of the Pontiac Vibe. The whole thing just leaves me that they did a technical solid job on putting it together, but a cold I care less impression over all.
The A pillar is just wrong. Having to put in a freaking little glass so you can see through a monster of a pillar is wrong in my book.
Over all the more I look at this CUV the more I see it as a failure.
The dash surface area is very cheap feeling plastic similar to that in the old Pruis.
I actually like the blocky, wide stance of this thing. Its purpose in life is a mystery, however, and "Venza" is an uber gay name for a car.

The Authoress of the Odyssey, by Samuel Butler, [1922], at sacred-texts.com
Book XVIII
THE FIGHT BETWEEN ULYSSES AND IRUS—THE SUITORS MAKE PRESENTS TO PENELOPE—AND ILL-TREAT ULYSSES.
Now there came a common tramp to Ulysses' house, begging—a great hulking fellow with no stay in him—whose name was Arnæus; but people called him Irus, because he would run errands for any one who would send him on them. This man began to threaten Ulysses, and said the suitors had urged him to turn him away from the house.
Ulysses said there was room enough for both of them, and 14 that it should be a case of live-and-let-live between them. "If, however," he continued, "it comes to blows, I will deluge your mouth and chest with blood, and I shall have the place to myself, for you will not come back again."
Irus retorted angrily, and Antinous, hearing them wrangle, 34 told the other suitors that Irus and the stranger were about to have a fight. "It is the finest piece of sport," he said, "that heaven ever sent into this house. We are to have goat's paunches stuffed with blood and fat for supper; whichever of the two beats in this fight shall have his pick of the lot of them."
The preliminaries being arranged, and fair play bargained 58 for by Ulysses, he began to strip. When Irus saw his muscles his heart misgave him; but Antinous kept him up to it, and the fight began. * Ulysses forthwith nearly killed Irus and dragged him by the heels into the outer court, where he put his staff in his hand and propped him up against the wall more dead than alive. Antinous then gave Ulysses a great goat's paunch, and Amphinomus drank his health.
124 Ulysses made Amphinomus a very grave and impressive speech, warning him to leave the house, inasmuch as Ulysses would return shortly. "You seem," said he, "to be a man of good understanding, as indeed you may well be, seeing whose son you are. I have heard your father well spoken of; he is Nisus of Dulichium, a man both brave and wealthy. They tell me you are his son and you seem to be a considerable person; listen, therefore, and take heed to what I am saying. Man is the vainest of all creatures that live and move upon the earth: as long as heaven vouchsafes him health and strength he thinks that he shall come to no harm hereafter, and even when the blessed gods bring sorrow upon him, he bears it as he needs must and makes the best of it, for God Almighty gives men their daily minds day by day. I know all about it, for I was a rich man once, and did much wrong in the stubbornness of my pride and in the confidence that my father and my brothers would support me; therefore let a man fear God in all things always, and take the good that heaven may see fit to send him without vainglory." But Amphinomus, though his heart boded ill, would not be persuaded.
158 Minerva then put it in Penelope's mind to get some presents out of the suitors. "I hate them," said she to Eurynome, "but still for once in a way I will see them; I want to warn my son against them."
169 "Certainly, my dear child," answered Eurynome, "but you must wash your face first. You cannot be seen with the stain of tears upon your cheeks."
177 "Eurynome," replied her mistress, "do not try to persuade me. Heaven robbed me of all my beauty on the day when my husband sailed for Troy; but send Autonoë and Hippodamia to attend me, for I cannot think of seeing the suitors unattended." The old woman then went through the house to fetch the women; and as soon as she was gone, Minerva sent Penelope into a deep sleep during which she endowed her with the most dazzling beauty, washing her face with the ambrosial loveliness which Venus wears when she goes out dancing with the Graces, and giving her a statelier and more imposing presence. When the two maids came, the noise of their
coming woke her. "What a delicious sleep," she exclaimed, "has overshadowed me. Would that it had been the sleep of death, which had thus ended all my sorrows."
She then went down stairs, and the suitors were dazzled 206 with her beauty. She began by upbraiding Telemachus for having allowed the fight to take place. Telemachus admitted his fault, but pleaded the extreme difficulty of his situation and the fact that after all Ulysses had thrashed Irus.
Eurymachus broke in upon their conversation by telling 243 Penelope how very beautiful she was; and Penelope answered that heaven had robbed her of all her beauty on the day when her husband sailed for Troy. "Moreover," she added, "I have another great sorrow—you suitors are not wooing me in the 275 usual way. When men are suing for the hand of one who they think will make them a good wife, they generally bring oxen and sheep for her relations to feast upon, and make rich presents to the lady herself, instead of sponging upon other people's property."
When Ulysses heard her say this, he was delighted at 281 to his wife trying to get presents out of the suitors, and hoodwinking them.
Then Antinous said, "Penelope, take all the presents you 284 can get, but we will not go till you have married the best man among us." On this they all made Penelope magnificent presents, and she went back to her own room, followed by the women, who carried the presents for her.
The suitors now turned to singing and dancing, lighted by 304 large braziers that were placed in the court, * and also by 307 torches, which the maids held up by turns. Ulysses after a while told them to go inside, saying that he would hold the 317 torches himself. The maids laughed at this, and Melantho, who was one of them, began to gibe at him. She was daughter to Dolius but Penelope had brought her up from childhood, and used to give her toys; she showed no consideration, however, for Penelope's sorrows, but misconducted herself with Eurymachus. "Are you drunk?" she said to Ulysses, "or are you always like this?"
337 Ulysses scowled at her, and said he would tell Telemachus, who would have her cut up into mincemeat. The women, therefore, were frightened and went away, so Ulysses was left holding up the flaming torches—looking upon all the suitors and brooding over his revenge.
346 Presently Eurymachus began to jeer at him, and taunt him by saying he preferred begging to working. Ulysses answered, "If you and I, Eurymachus, were matched one against the other in early summer, when the days are at their longest—give us each a good scythe, and see whether you or I will mow the stronger or fast the longer, from dawn till dark when the mowing grass is about. Or let us be in a four acre field with a couple of tawny full fed oxen each, and see which of us can drive the straighter furrow. Again, let war break out this day—give me armour and you will find me fighting among the foremost. You are insolent and cruel, and think yourself a great man because you live in a little world, and that a bad one."
394 Eurymachus was furious, and seized a stool; but Ulysses sat down by the knees of Amphinomus of Dulichium, for he was afraid; the stool hit the cupbearer and knocked him down, whereon there was a general uproar, amid which Telemachus said that he would compel no man, but he thought it would be better if they would all go home to bed. To this they assented, and shortly afterwards left the house.
75:* They might very well fight in the middle of an open court, but hardly in a covered hall. They would go outside.
77:* ἐν μεγάροισιν, but not ἐν μεγάροισι σκιόεσσι.

Q: javascript - how to manipulate (nodeList) data from a ajax call? I'm trying identify the id of a form's input, however the form is built dynamically and the id's are created automatically.  The goal is to get the id and use an ajax call to check the value of the input.
original js
$(document).ready(function () {
    // catch the form's submit event
    $('#id_objective_name').keyup(function () {
        // create an AJAX call
        $.ajax({
            data: $(this).serialize(), // get the form data
            url: "{% url 'gradebook:validate_objname' %}",
            // on success
            success: function (response) {
                if (response.is_taken == true) {
                    $('#id_objective_name').removeClass('is-valid').addClass('is-invalid');
                    $('#id_objective_name').after('
This username is not available!
')
                }
                else {
                    $('#id_username').removeClass('is-invalid').addClass('is-valid');
                    $('#usernameError').remove();

                }

            },
            // on error
            error: function (response) {
                // alert the error if any error occured
                console.log(response.responseJSON.errors)
            }
        });

        return false;
    });
})

This code works fine if there is a single form.  However, my page will have several forms with id's such as:
#id_objective_set-1-objective_name
#id_objective_set-2-objective_name
#id_objective_set-3-objective_name
...
#id_objective_set-6-objective_name
#id_objective_set-INITIAL_FORMS
#id_objective_set-MAX_NUM_FORMS
#id_objective_set-MIN_NUM_FORMS
#id_objective_set-TOTAL_FORMS

I have one workaround in that I'm only interested in the last form generated.  I currently use this and it seems to work, the (index = (num-5); index < (num-4); ++index) gets the fifth from last id, which is the last form.
var allInputs = document.getElementsByTagName('input');
    var num = allInputs.length;
    var myID = "";
    for (index = (num-5); index < (num-4); ++index) {
        var myID = allInputs[index].id;
    }

$(document).ready(function () {
    // catch the form's submit event
    $('#' + myID).keyup(function () {
        // create an AJAX call
        $.ajax({
            data: $(this).serialize(), // get the form data
            url: "{% url 'gradebook:validate_objname' %}",
            .......

The part where I'm really unsure about is the data: $(this).serialize().  This sends the data to my backend. However, the backend has no idea on what data to look for.  If it was just a single form, the backend would look for objective_name.  But now this data could be anything.  I don't know how to manipulate this data prior to sending it to my backend, I don't even know how to console.log this data. I know very little about ajax so I don't know what's happening with the get the form data.  I also couldn't identify a way to manipulate the nodeList allInputs.

Adelaide crash driver charged with drink-driving
Vehicle hits power pole and impact causes blackout in south-west of city
A truck driver who was allegedly three times over the alcohol limit has been arrested for drink-driving and driving while disqualified after he crashed his truck into a pole in Adelaide overnight.
The driver of the Isuzu flat-bed truck was travelling just after midnight on Morphett Street when he failed to negotiate a left-hand bend into Whitmore Square, crashing into the pole.
The force of the impact caused a major power blackout in the south-western part of the city.
The driver allegedly left the scene but was found a short distance away.
The 40-year-old was breath-tested and allegedly recorded a blood alcohol reading of 0.171. His driver's licence has been disqualified since 2008.
He was also charged for aggravated due care and has been bailed to appear in the Adelaide Magistrates Court on April 10.

There's A Slot Canyon In Minnesota That Resembles Antelope Canyon, But Hardly Anyone Knows It Exists
You can find a slot canyon in Minnesota, like Arizona's Antelope Canyon, at St. Paul's Crosby Farm Regional Park. Strangely, it is almost always referred to as the park's "secret slot canyon," but a quick search of the web shows that it's not all that hard to find, and people certainly seem to know about it. Although it's not really much of a secret, Crosby Farm doesn't go out of its way to advertise the canyon, so it's a less-known feature of the park than it otherwise could be. Let's take a look.
Although Crosby Farm Regional Park boasts more than six miles of paved trails, none of them offer access to the park's slot canyon.

To get there, hike east from the parking area, and follow one of the social trails along the bluffs on the west side of Lake Crosby.
About midway along the lake, look for a less-traveled trail leading toward the bluff.

Follow it to the mouth of the slot canyon.
Although narrow, and high-walled, the small canyon is not deep.

Once you round the curve, the canyon widens into a cul-de-sac where a seasonal waterfall sometimes trickles over the edge.

When hiking in winter, be sure to bring along traction devices, as the floor of the gorge is often covered in ice. Have you explored the secret slot canyon at Crosby Farm Regional Park?
If you're interested in hiking another slot canyon in Minnesota, check out the Kadunce River gorge, which is east of Grand Marais, along the north shore of Lake Superior. Although the trail is open year-round, you can really only explore the canyon by heading up the river. In warm weather, when the flow rate is low, you can wade up the gorge. Or go in the winter, when you can hike on the ice and marvel at the frozen formations in the canyon.

The Kilimanjaro Lemosho Route is the best ascent route but this offers the complete Kilimanjaro experience, more acclimatisation time, more culture, more spectacular scenery and even a night in Kibo caldera. Note: this itinerary ascends via Stella Point and NOT the Western Breach and is for that reason considered to be a safer route.
Walking time: 4 hrs.; elevation change: +370 m.
Walking time: 6-7 hrs.; elevation change: +880 m.
After breakfast, we shall walk through the remaining rain forest to the giant moorland zone. This is a full-day trek with an altitude gain of 880 m. Lunch will be taken at about the halfway point, a beautiful valley just outside the Shira Crater. After lunch, we cross into the Shira Caldera, a high-altitude desert plateau that is rarely visited. Shira is among the Kilimanjaro volcanic cones, and is filled with lava flow from Kibo Peak. The crater rim has been decimated by weather and volcanic action. You also will be able to view the western side of the Mt. Kilimanjaro summit.
Walking time: 5-6 hrs.; elevation change: +340 m.
Walking time: 6 hrs.; elevation change: +110 m.
After breakfast you will start walking in moorland and enter the alpine desert which joins at a junction with the Machame Route. You then will reach the Lava Tower (4,600 m.), where lunch is normally taken. Also, you are advised to pass there for acclimatization; thereafter, you will go down to Barranco where along the way you will able to see Lobelia deckenii and Senecio lobelia. Overnight will be at Barranco Camp.
After breakfast you will continue walking by climbing a very steep rock called "Breakfast Rock" for about one hour. Then you will walk for a short distance before dropping to Karanga Valley, which is the last water point. You will camp overnight at Karanga Valley.
After reaching the summit, you will return to Barafu and rest approximately one hour. You then will take breakfast or lunch, depending on the time. You will pack your gear. Thereafter, we will descend via the Barafu Route to Mweka Camp for about five hours. Overnight will be taken at Mweka Camp.
After breakfast we will descend through natural forest for about 10 km. to reach Mweka Gate. After finalizing all issues at the Mweka Gate Park, our representative will return you to the Zebra Hotel.
A Seven-Day Lemosho Route Itinerary also is available, which requires walking from Barranco Hut to Barafu Hut in one day.

There Could Be Habitable Planets In Earth's Closest Star System
Dec 19 2017, 12:30 UTC

Scientists say it is possible that the Alpha Centauri system, the closest planetary system to Earth, contains habitable exoplanets.
In a study published in the Astronomical Journal, researchers looked through old data to narrow down the chances of different sized planets around the three stars – Alpha Centauri A, B, and Proxima Centauri, located 4.2 light-years from us.
So far we know of one planet around one of these stars, Proxima b, although there have been other false alarms. This was found using the radial velocity method, noticing the tug on the star from the planet as it orbits.
But our methods aren't sensitive enough yet to find more planets in this way. So this team of scientists from the US and China used existing data to rule out what sort of planets we might find in the future.
As such, they're pretty certain we will not find any exceptionally large planets in the system, suggesting we're more likely to find smaller planets. They suggest that Alpha Centauri A could contain planets smaller than 50 Earth masses, for B it's 8 Earth masses, and for Proxima its 0.5 Earth's mass.
"The universe has told us the most common types of planets are small planets, and our study shows these are exactly the ones that are most likely to be orbiting Alpha Centauri A and B," said Professor Debra Fischer from Yale University, one of the study's co-authors, in a statement.
Proxima b is the only planet we know of in this system so far. ESO/M. Kornmesser
The data came from an array of instruments in Chile. Based on the information available so far the researchers concluded that if there were habitable planets around one of these stars, we wouldn't have been able to detect them yet.
"This is a very green study in that it recycles existing data to draw new conclusions," Lily Zhao from Yale University, the study's lead author, said in a statement.
"By using the data in a different way, we are able to rule out large planets that could endanger small, habitable worlds and narrow down the search area for future investigations."
It may be several years until our data is sensitive enough to detect planets around these stars. But as they are so close, they are of huge scientific and public interested – so narrowing down what we might expect to find is key.

West Town Primary Academy is a new 3FE school, sponsored by Cambridge Meridian Academies Trust, built over 3 storeys on a tight site in the centre of Peterborough.
Built on a Brownfield site formerly occupied by Peterborough District Hospital, the site incorporates an existing local landmark building, The Memorial Hall, which was built in 1928 in remembrance to the 1914 – 1918 Great War.
A key part of the development was to integrate the Memorial Hall into the new school whilst retaining its prominence as a Memorial building. Over the years, the Memorial Hall acquired a number of visually insensitive extensions. These have been demolished so the original frontage and footprint of the Hall can be retained.
The solution required the integration and development of the standard 2FE, 2 storey model into a 3FE School over 3 storeys on an historically sensitive city centre site. This required us to understand and develop the educational requirements and to work closely with the EFA, Peterborough City Council, and Peterborough Planning Department guidance.
As a key building on one of the main routes into Peterborough, the design seeks to present the existing Memorial Hall as a building of prominence and historical importance whilst looking to create and develop its own identity as a primary school.

Dallas Cowboys Head to Washington To Continue One of the Best Rivalries in the NFL
Cowboys and Redskins. So many memories of these two throughout the years and the first game between these two for 2017 goes down Sunday.
First off I want to say, the Redskins don't play in Washington DC. They play in Maryland. That is where I grew up and being a Cowboys fan there was not fun. Now that's out of the way, let's get to this week's Cowboys fun facts. Always more fun when it's an NFC East rival, right?
The Cowboys currently have 68 wins against the Redskins which is the most they have against any other opponent in the NFL. Which means if they win Sunday they have 69 (insert Beavis and Butthead laugh) couldn't help myself with that one. You would think the Cowboys have faced the Redskins the most. Not true they have faced them 113 times over the years. The Cowboys have actually played the Eagles more with 116 games.
The Cowboys once had a pretty nice win streak going against the Redskins. From 1997-2002 the Cowboys won ten straight against the Skins. Guess those Wichita Falls training camps helped them out for a few years. Got to give credit when it is due to the Skins. The Cowboys have faced them twice in the NFC Championship games in 1972 and 1982. The Redskins won both times.
Let's get back to loving the Cowboys. Did you know the Cowboys have twenty shutouts in their history? Four of those games have actually happened against the Skins and three of those were on the Skins home field. Not good for a team to get shutout at home.
What does a victory mean for the Cowboys on Sunday? Gets the team to 4-3, which would be the fourteenth time they have started the season like that and the first since 2013. They would stay undefeated against NFC East opponents and boost their NFC record to 4-2. The Cowboys also currently have a win streak going against the Skins. A victory would boost that to three games. The first time that has happened since the 2010-2011 seasons.
Kickoff is set for 3:25 and pregame will start at 2:30. Remember you can listen to every Dallas Cowboys game on NewsTalk1290. As always, Go Cowboys!

This week in the LPGA, we have the Marathon Classic.
We're coming into it off the back of a successful US Womens Open. Nothing huge of course as we didn't even double our bet – but we still profited and that's what matters.
So this week is the Marathon Classic, played at the Highland Meadows Golf Club in Sylvania, Ohio. Created in 1984 and named after Judd Silverman, a PGA Tour caddie at the time – it's now had a lot of different names as sponsorship kicks in. It's known to LPGA Fans as the Jamie Farr Classic, but has had quite a few different names over the years and doesn't even have Jamie Farr in the name now.
Last year, Lydia Ko took it down beating So Yeon Ryu by one stroke in a tight finish where Ko hit 65 on the last day. The previous year, Beatriz Recari won it by 1 stroke, and the year before that So Yeon Ryu dominated it with a -20 win, 7 strokes ahead of 2nd place.
Last years winner is 8/1 which is no surprise considering her recent form. Apparently she has been having issues with the grind and is home sick which is a shame but completely understandable.
We saw how she plays without pressure last week in the womens open. After a poor opening two days she finished up with a nice couple of rounds and we have to hope she can continue that lack of pressure affecting her and channel it into a nice performance here.
However Ko is a fair bit of a concern at the moment so we won't go balls to the wall on her, instead a half unit on her to win.
Bet: Lydia Ko to win, half a unit at Bovada for Americans.
We'll take that other half unit, and bet it on So Yeon Ryu.
She has been amazing at this course. In 2012 she had that incredible -20 win where she shot a 62 on the last day – but even prior to that, she has had some excellent resuts on this course. In 2013 she came tied for 12th with a -8 and she was in poor form going into it, but last year she had the 2nd place finish.
A 5th place performance at the US Open could have been much higher with a better first day and So Yeon Ryu is coming into this with excellent course form and solid current form. Easy half unit bet.
Bet: Half a unit on So Yeon Ryu to win at https://www.GTBets.com.

You Won the Lottery Jackpot! And So Did Tens of Other People
Lottery Magazine
Imagine finally getting all of those lottery numbers correct. Imagine screaming and jumping because you've just found out that you're a millionaire. Not so fast! The prize you're going to win also depends on whether other people have just accomplished the same feat as you.
While it's not a common occurrence, there have been multiple stories of numerous people hitting the lucky lottery numbers to win the jackpot. In such instances, the size of the top prize is brought down dramatically because jackpots are commonly split among all the winners.
More Than 2,000 Jackpot Winners
One of the most dramatic stories is from North Carolina.
In June 2019, more than 2,000 people choose the lottery numbers winning the Saturday drawing of the local Pick-4 game. What did they do exactly? They opted for a very simple number combo – 0-0-0-0. Yes, the winning number was comprised of four zeroes.
The advertised jackpot for the drawing was 7.8 million dollars. On its own, it's a pretty impressive number. Imagine that sum, however, being among you and approximately 2,000 other people. That equation changes the scope of the win.
By Monday, dozens of the lucky winners had shown up at the North Carolina lottery headquarters. Lottery officials did warn the winners that there may be queues, and the processing time for paying out all of the prizes would be longer than usual.
A similar situation occurred in 2012 when the Pick-4 winning number was 1-1-1-1. In 2019, Pick-3 had a similar situation when the winning number was 1-1-1. North Carolina lottery estimated there were over 5,600 winners of the top prize. While such winning numbers may seem ultimately against the odds, they're drawn every once and again.
The Fortune Cookie Incident
How would you approach the task of choosing lottery numbers for the win?
Some people pick dates that hold some relevance – birthdays, anniversaries, and other special occasions. Others believe in the power of certain numbers and consider those good luck figures. Some opt for a completely random approach.
In 2005, a very interesting situation occurred when 110 people managed to win the same lottery. How did they do it? They opted for numbers that were suggested by a fortune cookie.
Initially, there were some fraud concerns as it appears nearly impossible for 110 people to choose the same winning numbers and beat all odds. Lottery officials launched a huge investigation to find out what was going on. Eventually, they uncovered the truth.
A company called Wonton Food Inc. had produced the fortune cookie suggesting the winning lottery numbers. The company produced four million fortune cookies, and many of them came with the numerical combination — some people who received the fortune cookie before the drawing decided to give the suggested numbers a try.
As a result of the investigation, the 110 winners were paid out the sum that they'd won. It varied from 100,000 to 500,000 dollars, depending on whether players had activated a bonus capable of multiplying their prize.
It's Christmas in South Carolina
This story about winning lottery numbers in South Carolina is a bit different from the previous curious instances.
On Christmas Day in 2017, people bought the holiday Cash Add-a-Play ticket for just a dollar. To win, they had to get a specific number of Christmas trees in a row – from three to nine. Having all nine Christmas trees led to winning the top prize of 500 dollars. While the condition for winning the top prize isn't the most difficult one to fulfill, the odds of this happening remained at the relatively unfavorable one in 4,800.
Imagine everyone's surprise; however, when people found out that practically everyone was winning.
The situation got so out of hand that the small Christmas lottery eventually added up the numbers, and the overall sum won by everyone in the state turned out to be 30 million dollars.
Later on, lottery officials came out with an official announcement about the situation.
A computer glitch was behind the anomaly, and it caused 71,000 people to come in possession of a winning ticket. The coding error led machines to print out tickets featuring nine Christmas trees repeatedly. The software operator was blamed for its failure to do quality assurance, and the South Carolina lottery reported that it would not be paying out prizes to the more than 70,000 jackpot winners.
People were still hoping that in line with the Christmas spirit, the lottery will pay out the prizes regardless of the glitch. Unfortunately, South Carolina lottery officials weren't feeling that generous.
The situation escalated so much that people have even initiated lawsuits against the lottery. We'll have to wait and see what court officials will think about this entire mess.
40 People Claim First Division Powerball Prize
Powerball is one of those lotteries characterized by nearly impossible odds. Regardless of that fact, there have been several instances of multiple people getting lucky and choosing the right lottery numbers for winning.
In 2018, 40 lottery numbers winners split the first division Powerball prize. The first division prize is the one coming immediately after the jackpot.
The drawing also had two lucky people who split the Powerball jackpot, each claiming 2.5 million dollars. Each of the first division prize winners went home 25,000-dollars richer.
The winning numbers that the first division winners guessed where 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, and 13. Once again – it may seem completely impossible for such numbers to be selected, but once in a while, reality happens to beat statistics.
This was the most significant number of people to claim the first division Powerball prize since the launch of the game in 1987. Thus, it's not only pick 3 and pick 4 games that can produce such wonderfully delicious anomalies. Standard draw-style games also have instances of winning numbers being completely unbelievable.
All of these stories show that sometimes, reality can be much stranger than fiction. If you think you're never going to win, think again. While the odds aren't always in your favor, being consistent can eventually pay off.

The North American beaver was the first natural resource of what eventually became Canada to be exploited by Europeans. Beaver pelts were so valued that they were once the unit of currency. The North American beaver population was almost wiped out by 1930, but conservation measures have since restored their numbers to relatively healthy levels. The species has been introduced into Europe, where viable populations have been established.
North American beavers have a well-developed social hierarchy in which the family is the basic unit. The adult female is the central figure in each family. The usual family group consists of adults, kits, and yearlings of the previous year. The average size of the family is about 10 or 12 individuals. Adult weight ranges between 15 and 35 kg (33 to 77 lb.), with the average about 20 kg (44 lb.). Both males and females attain about the same adult size.
Herbivorous, they eat leaves, twigs and bark of most tree species. They also stockpile branches and logs by sticking them into the mud at the bottom of their pools to use for food in winter.
The bear, wolf, coyote, fisher, wolverine, otter and lynx prey upon the North American beaver who is, nevertheless, a powerful adversary. Their lodges, made of tangled sticks and caked mud, offer protection that even black bears have difficulty breaking through.
The North American beaver is the animal which places second only to humans in the magnitude of change which they can effect on their environment. They do so through the dams they build. North American beaver dams are usually about 50 m (164 ft.) in length, 2 m (6.5 ft.) high, and about 3 m (10 ft.) through the base. Their dams help to maintain water levels in forest streams, thus providing habitat for themselves, fish and waterfowl. Beavers use the water to transport the logs they harvest and to provide a safe place to escape to when necessary.

Crop pollen spreads further than expected
By Fred Pearce
Pollen from genetically modified crops can travel at least three kilometres to contaminate neighbouring crops, according to a new study in commercial fields. The findings pose a serious problem for organic farmers, and will strengthen calls for tougher controls on planting GM crops.
The study followed the spread of genes from a new herbicide-resistant variety of oilseed rape, or canola, introduced into Australia two years ago. It found that the genes travelled much further than expected.
The rape variety was not itself genetically modified. But, says the team led by Mary Rieger at the University of Adelaide, the gene flow through cross-pollination mimics that from a GM crop.
Rieger says this is the first investigation of potential GM contamination from large commercial fields. It suggests, she says, that "real world" genetic contamination from GM crops could be more widespread and less predictable than suggested by small-scale trials. "Laboratory and small-scale experiments may not necessarily predict pollination under commercial conditions," she warns.
Patrick Mulvany of the Intermediate Technology Development Group says: "The reality is that we cannot stop genes from GM crops spreading across the landscape. To suggest otherwise flies in the face of the evidence," says.
No gradient
The researchers collected seeds from 63 conventional canola fields near fields planted with the new variety in three states. In all, almost 50 million seeds were tested.
They found that the contamination — through insects and the wind spreading pollen — was not large. No more than 0.2 per cent of seeds taken from one traditional field contained genes from the new fields. But it did spread a long way. The furthest gene uncovered was three kilometres from its source.
Equally surprising, says Rieger, there was no obvious gradient of contamination according to distance from the source. The genes turned up almost randomly in the study area, she says.
This was different from the pattern found in previous small-scale trials, where contamination dropped off exponentially with distance. Rieger guesses that this could result from insects ranging far and wide in search of pollen, particularly early or late in the season when flowers are scarce.
Import moratorium
Other crops may not spread their genes so widely. The flowers of wheat and barley, for instance, can self-fertilise. This could make them less likely to pick up foreign genes.
But campaigners against GM crops will seize on the findings about the ability of oilseed rape to spread its genes. They fear the pollution of both traditional crop varieties and their wild ancestors and want a moratorium on imports of GM crops to the major centres of their natural biological diversity.
The new findings follow warnings from scientists from the UK government's wildlife agency, English Nature, last year that cross-pollination could result in genes from genetically modified oilseed rape accumulating in plants, creating "superweeds" resistant to a range of herbicides.

BrightFocus-Supported Researchers Show Link Between Parkinson's Drug and Curbing Macular Degeneration
Martha Snyder Taggart, BrightFocus Editor, Science Communications
This research was supported by BrightFocus
A major new breakthrough shows that L-DOPA, a drug widely used to treat Parkinson's disease, may help protect against age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The discovery was made by a group of researchers led by Brian McKay, PhD, and just published in the American Journal of Medicine (Brilliant et al, 2015).
The research team, supported in part by BrightFocus Foundation, discovered a biological connection between darker pigmented eyes that are known to be resistant to AMD, and increased levels of a chemical called L-DOPA in those eyes. Since L-DOPA is frequently prescribed for Parkinson's patients, the researchers wanted to know whether patients who received the drug L-DOPA as treatment for Parkinson's or other diseases were protected from AMD. By combing through massive databases of medical chart data, they reported that patients receiving L-DOPA were significantly less likely to get AMD, and when they did, its onset was significantly delayed.
The research findings are based on an analysis of the medical records of 37,000 patients at the Marshfield Clinic in Wisconsin. Because the average age of those given L-DOPA is 67, while the average age of AMD diagnosis is 71, scientists were able to effectively track patterns. These major findings were then confirmed by reviewing a data set of 87 million patients. In this large scale data set, L-DOPA also delayed or prevented AMD from progressing to its "wet" form.
Brian McKay, PhD, led the investigation, which got started with his BrightFocus grant.
According to McKay, "we asked the question: 'Are those taking L-DOPA protected from AMD?' The answer was yes! L-DOPA both prevented and delayed the onset of AMD."
New Hope for an AMD Treatment
L-DOPA is available worldwide and goes by the generic name of levodopa. Brand names include Sinemet, Parcopa, Atamet, Stalevo, Madopar, and Prolopa.
Despite persistent, dedicated work by scientists, it has been longer than a decade since a new type of drug was developed for AMD, and scientists still do not understand precisely what causes it. AMD remains a chief cause of legal blindness in adults over age 60. While leaving peripheral sight intact (i.e. the edges of one's visual field), it destroys the center. The resulting black hole makes people unable to drive, read, recognize faces and perform daily tasks.
The only measures currently available to stall and sometimes prevent AMD are the AREDS-proven vitamins for early AMD, and scheduled eye injections for the neovascular form, known as "wet" AMD.
Trail of Discovery Begins with BrightFocus Grant
McKay, a 2010-12 BrightFocus grantee, started working on the project at a time when investigators were realizing the huge importance of the retinal pigmented epithelium (RPE), a layer of cells next to the retina, to the retina's health and survival. McKay was looking for molecular pathways that regulate "trophic factors," proteins associated with tissue nourishment and growth.
They discovered that one way the RPE cells help keep the retina healthy is with DOPA signaling through its receptor. In the body, protein molecules such as L-DOPA bind with each other through receptors, or docking stations that lie on cells. Receptor binding is both the result of, and sets in motion, gene signaling. Actions and reactions of this sort direct most functions of the human body., and unlocking their secrets helps scientists uncover how a disease begins and progresses, and where it can be stopped.
For a long time it has been recognized that individuals with darker pigmentation have a lower risk for AMD; in the United States, African-Americans have a five-fold lower risk of AMD than Caucasians. This led researchers to postulate that signaling through the DOPA receptor may underlie racial disparities in AMD incidence. From there grew the hypothesis that people taking L-DOPA for other conditions would be protected against AMD.
"The obvious question was, if the L-DOPA no longer produced was supplemented via pill form, does it have the potential to serve as a preventive medicine against AMD?" commented Murray Brilliant, PhD, first author on the report, who directs the Marshfield Clinic Research Foundation Center for Human Genetics.
To test that hypothesis, these researchers first examined the health records of 37,000 patients at the Marshfield Clinic, comparing outcomes among patients who had AMD, or were taking L-DOPA for Parkinson's or another condition, or both. These researchers found that among people who got L-DOPA before being diagnosed with AMD, their AMD diagnosis occurred eight years later than those not taking L-DOPA.
These provocative findings were then confirmed in a much larger data set of 87 million patients, where similar results were observed. Next, the study was expanded to investigate the association between L-DOPA use and prevention and delay of "wet" AMD, the most devastating form of the disease. And once again, L-DOPA was found to be protective.
"Research points to this as a pathway to regulate and prevent this most common cause of blindness in adults," Brilliant said. "We need more research, but this first step is promising."
Shows Power of "Big Data"
"Big data" research methods use customized computer programs to search through millions of electronic medical records and analyze their contents. This research method helped compare the analysis of the 37,000 Marshfield files with an exponentially larger pool of 87 million medical records. This big data exercise confirmed the research team's initial conclusions.
Commenting on the study's methodology, Guy Eakin, BrightFocus vice president for Scientific Affairs, said the researchers groundbreaking accomplishments show how this new approach can, "quickly ask the scientific questions that had previously taken many years and millions of dollars."
The next stage for the research team is to launch a clinical trial to further test the ability of L-DOPA to slow or prevent AMD. Continued success of this hypothesis could lead to a new and life-changing example of what is known as drug repurposing or repositioning, in which scientists identify new uses for existing drugs.

Director's Choice: 7 things to do in London with teenagers
The director of the Finnish Institute Pauliina Ståhlberg is also a mother of four. These are her tips for visiting London with teenagers.
1. ArcelorMittal Orbit slide. Sculptor Anish Kapoor created a the UK's largest sculpture for London Olympics in 2012. This year, a slide by artist Carsten Höller was added to its structures. The view of East London from the viewing platform is spectacular. The slide brings an exhilarating addition to the experience – it takes 40 thrilling seconds to slide down.Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, 5 Thornton Street, London E20 2AD. http://arcelormittalorbit.com/whats-on/the-slide/ Children £10,50, adults £16,50.
2. Leake Tunnel, also known as the Banksy Tunnel, is 300 meters long and covered with graffiti. The pieces are constantly changing and you can often spot the artists at work. Banksy made the tunnel famous by making many pieces in 2008. Since then they have been painted over many times, but as no-one knows what Banksy looks like, he might be one of those artists currently spraying the tunnel walls. Leake St, Lambeth, London SE1 7NN
3. Camden Market and Portobello Market are full of tourists. Instead, Brick Lane and its surroundings in Shoreditch are "in". The area is full of good vintage stores and boutiques selling unique fashion. Brick Lane, London E1 6RL
4. Camden Market and Portobello Market are full of tourists. Instead, Brick Lane and its surroundings in Shoreditch are "in". The area is full of good vintage stores and boutiques selling unique fashion. Riverside Building, County Hall, Westminster Bridge Rd, Lambeth, London SE1 7PB.
5. London Dungeon in Westminster Bridge Road near London Eye presents the most horrible events in British history in the goriest ways possible. A fun, scary and interactive experience! Ariel Way, White City, London W12 7GF. https://www.thedungeons.com/london/en/ Tickets from £25
6. The gigantic Westfields shopping mall caters for any taste when it comes to shopping, food or films to watch. Ariel Way, White City, London W12 7GF. https://uk.westfield.com/london
7. The musical The Book of Mormon is crazy and funny. It features strong language and wild subject matters. The team included scriptwriters of South Park. The show is very popular, so it's worth it to book tickets before flying to London. Coventry St, London W1D 6AS. https://www.bookofmormonlondon.com/. Ticket costs vary.

Kurt Holl (* 17. September 1938 in Nördlingen; † 10. Dezember 2015 in Köln) war ein politisch und sozial engagierter Lehrer.

Leben
Holl wuchs mit zwei Brüdern auf dem Bauernhof seiner Großeltern auf. Sein Vater fiel 1942 im Zweiten Weltkrieg als SS-Kavallerie-Angehöriger. Nach der Grundschule wechselte er durch Vermittlung seines Religionslehrers auf ein Jungen-Internat der Zinzendorfschulen in Königsfeld im Schwarzwald. Nach Köln kam er 1953 und besuchte hier das Gymnasium Kreuzgasse. Hier wurde er während des Ungarischen Volksaufstands 1956 politisch wachgerüttelt. Als Oberschüler wurde er von seinem Französischlehrer mit dem Buch von Henri Alleg La Question (Deutscher Titel: Die Folter) bekannt gemacht, das französisches Unrecht im Algerienkrieg darstellte. Als er daraufhin erfuhr, dass Mitglieder der FLN in der tunesischen Botschaft in Bonn Zuflucht gefunden hatten, brachte er deren Informationsmaterial während der Abiturfahrt nach Paris und legte es in Kirchen und Museen aus. In Köln gründete er mit Klassenkameraden die "Aktionsgemeinschaft Algerien" und gewann dafür auch Bundespräsident Theodor Heuss und die SPD-Politiker Johannes Rau und Hans-Jürgen Wischnewski. Während seines anschließenden Theologie-Studiums an der Kirchlichen Hochschule Wuppertal engagierte er sich in der Studentenpolitik und wurde im ersten Semester zum AStA-Vorsitzenden gewählt, der viele politische Aktivitäten entwickelte zum Beispiel bei der Kampagne Kampf dem Atomtod.

Er wechselte zum Lehramtsstudium Französisch, Geschichte und Philosophie an die Universität zu Köln, wo er 1967 sein Studium mit dem Staatsexamen abschloss. Als Kölner SDS-Mitglied machte er auch weiter an der Hochschule Politik. Ab 1974 war er Referendar am Hansagymnasium Köln. Nach dem Referendariat wurde ihm die Übernahme in den Schuldienst wegen "mangelnder charakterlicher Eignung" verweigert. Ihm wurde vorgeworfen, als Student und SDS-Mitglied an Kundgebungen gegen den Vietnam-Krieg, an einer von der Roten Hilfe der KPD getragenen Demonstration gegen den "Kölner Vietnam-Prozess" und an Aktivitäten gegen den Radikalenerlass teilgenommen zu haben. In einem zwei Jahre dauernden Verfahren setzte Holl sich erfolgreich zur Wehr.

Während des Sozialhilfebezugs verpflichtete ihn die Stadt Köln auf dem Melaten-Friedhof zu gemeinnütziger Arbeit. Von dort ebenfalls eingesetzten Roma erfuhr er, dass für diese der Kontakt mit Verstorbenen zu tabuisierter sozialer Ausgrenzung führte, gründete den "Verein der Pflichtarbeiter Köln" und verteilte Flugblätter auf dem Friedhof, was ihm ein Friedhofsverbot einbrachte. 1976 sorgte er mit dem "Kölner Verein für deutsch-türkische Zusammenarbeit" dafür, dass Familien einer türkischen Ghetto-Siedlung in Köln-Merkenich in der Nähe ihrer Arbeitsstätte Ford Köln angemessene Wohnungen erhielten.

1975 hatten Schüler des Hansa-Gymnasiums über das von der Stadtverwaltung genutzte EL-DE-Haus, der früheren Kölner Gestapo-Zentrale, berichtet, eine Besichtigung war ihnen aber verwehrt worden. Kurt Holl, Sammy Maedge und andere gründeten in der Folge eine "Initiative für ein Dokumentationszentrum im EL-DE-Haus". Im März 1979 ließen er und der Fotograf Gernot Huber vom linken Kölner Volksblatt sich über Nacht in den Kellerräumen des Gebäudes einschließen und fotografierten die in den ehemaligen Zellen des Gestapogefängnisses erhaltenen Gefangeneninschriften. Das öffentliche Echo im In- und Ausland nach der Publikation der Bilder bewirkte, dass die Stadt Köln den Keller und die Inschriften restaurieren ließ und der Keller 1981 zur Gedenkstätte, dem NS-Dokumentationszentrum der Stadt Köln, wurde.

1981 wurde Holl als Lehrer eingestellt und 1985 an das Abendgymnasium Köln versetzt, wo er ab 1998 hauptsächlich an der Außenstelle in der Strafanstalt Ossendorf unterrichtete. So hatte er tagsüber Freizeit für seine Aktivitäten. 1987 engagierte es sich mit anderen städtischen Bürgern bei der  Gründung der "Kölner Roma-Initiative", aus der 1988 der Hilfsverein Rom e. V. hervorging. Er erhielt zusammen mit Hedwig Neven DuMont die Alternative Kölner Ehrenbürgerschaft. 2007 wurde er für sein multikulturelles und multinationales Engagement im Rheinland mit dem Rheinlandtaler ausgezeichnet.

Holl wurde 2013 zum Thema "Roma in NRW: Schwierigkeiten und Chancen" in den Landtag Nordrhein-Westfalen eingeladen.

Der Rom e. V. wählte ihn 2015 für seine herausragenden jahrzehntelangen Dienste im Interesse der Kölner Roma zum lebenslangen Ehrenvorsitzenden. Holl starb 2015 im Alter von 77 Jahren in Köln. Er wurde auf dem Melaten-Friedhof (Flur 18 (C) Nr. 308) beigesetzt.

Im Oktober 2018 erschien posthum Kurt Holls Autobiografie "Ein unbequemer Kölner bis zum Schluss", die von seinen beiden Söhnen Hannes Loh und Benjamin Küsters aus einem hinterlassenen Manuskript und weiteren Notizen erstellt wurde.

A Rested Development: The Evolution of Cancelled-TV-Show Comebacks
Posted on May 1, 2013 by Robert Lockard, the Deja Reviewer
Arrested Development is getting a second chance at life after the show was cancelled back in 2006. Its fourth season will debut on Netflix later this month. Thank goodness because it really is a hilarious and original sitcom. Over the years, very few TV shows have been resurrected like this, and those that have come back have done so through a number of creative means.
Let's explore the ways that some TV shows have returned and see why they are often stronger than ever after a rested development.
Switch Networks
Futurama is the kind of show that was destined to be a cult classic. It's not quite as funny as The Simpsons, but it's too intellectual to appeal to the Family Guy crowd. It's in a league of its own. So it's no surprise that it struggled to find and hold an audience during its four seasons on Fox. After getting a lot of attention in reruns, though, the show was revived with several direct-to-DVD movies. Comedy Central picked up the show for another two seasons, allowing it to finally continue the characters' story arcs and (hopefully) bring them to a satisfying conclusion at the end of this season when the show will be cancelled for good.
Mystery Science Theater 3000 and The Twilight Zone also switched networks in between seasons, though the transition was pretty seamless, so there was no production delay.
Make Spinoffs
Family Guy followed a similar path as Futurama. It lasted three seasons before suffering a premature death. But its popularity soared on Adult Swim, so it was brought back four years later by the same studio that had cancelled it. Personally, I think the first three seasons were the funniest. The fourth season was too political, and the jokes were more mean-spirited and repetitive. But Family Guy has continued to enjoy moderate success and it even spawned a spinoff called The Cleveland Show.
The only other example of a cancelled TV show that became popular enough to warrant a spinoff is Star Trek. That show led to Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Star Trek: Voyager, and Star Trek: Enterprise. Most of those spinoffs became much more successful during their runs than the original series. Star Trek is definitely the exception to the rule, though, as we'll see even more clearly next.
Turn It Into a Movie
Plenty of TV shows have been translated into films, including The Fugitive, The Addams Family, and Mission: Impossible. But Star Trek is arguably the most successful.
The final episode of the original Star Trek series aired just a month and a half before the first men walked on the moon in 1969. The show was ahead of its time in many ways. For several years after that, series creator Gene Roddenberry tried to bring it back, first through a cartoon show, and then with a new series entitled Star Trek: Phase II.
Paramount Pictures went back and forth on the idea of doing another TV series or making a full-length film. They decided to move forward with a film after Star Wars proved that a science-fiction film could be a major blockbuster. The debut of Star Trek: The Motion Picture marked the start of one of the most successful and longest-running franchises ever. So far, it has managed to sustain 12 films, only one of which was an outright commercial failure (Star Trek: Nemesis).
Online streaming companies are a new development in the world of TV production. Netflix seems to be trying to position itself as the new FX or AMC by producing a new season of Arrested Development. We'll see how this gamble pays off for them, but it seems like a sound strategy. Rather than taking a chance on a completely original series, they're testing the waters with a show that has a built-in fan base.
I've heard rumors that they're going to make an Arrested Development movie next, but we'll just have to wait and see if that turns out to be real or just another tease.
I Rest My Case
TV shows are lucky to get a pilot, and they're even luckier to get picked up for a whole season, and they're insanely lucky to make it more than a couple of seasons. Even great shows, like Firefly, have been cancelled after just a single season because it was so difficult to find an audience and generate sufficient numbers to impress TV executives.
Perhaps other online entertainment companies will follow Netflix's lead and start providing their own original content to compete with traditional TV networks and cable companies. Who knows, maybe shows like Arrested Development can wrest control of the TV industry away from the old giants and put it into the hands of more tech-savvy folks.
