As The Sound of Music fans mourn star Charmian Carr…here's what happened to the rest of the von Trapp children
Find out what the six child actors have been doing since film;s release 50 years ago
THE SOUND of Music fans are in mourning after Charmian Carr, the actress who played the eldest of the Von Trapp children, said her final So Long, Farewell, Auf Wiedersehen, Goodnight, at the age of 73.
Despite Liesl being "16 going on 17" the star was 23 when she beat Mia Farrow and Geraldine Chaplin to the role but she retired from acting soon afterwards to raise her two daughters and open her own interior design store in California.
But what became of the other six von Trapps in the 50 years since the classic movie, starring Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer, was released?
Here's what those singing siblings are up to now.
Nicholas Hammond: Friedrich von Trapp
Nicholas played the second child, 14-year-old Friedrich and unlike many of hiw screen siblings, he stayed in the acting business. In the late seventies he took the starring role in The Amazing Spider-Man on TV, and even showed up in Dallas, in 1982, playing Bill Johnson.
His most recent he starred in the 2015 mini-series Gallipoli as Henry Nevinson.
He has remained close to all his The Sound of Music co-stars and was very fond of Charmian Carr.
Heather Menzies: Louisa von Trapp
Heather was born in Toronto and made her film debut, at 13, as Louisa von Trapp.
She went on to star in various TV shows, including classic sci-fi series Logan's run, in which she played Jessica, and she also modelled for Playboy.
After a failed marriage to John Cluett she met her second husband, actor Robert Urich, while making a corned beef commercial and they married in 1975.
She stepped away from the limelight to raise her three kids and is now a grandmother.
Duane Chase: Kurt von Trapp
Duane was born in Los Angeles and started acting at the age of 11 but, after starring in The Sound Of Music he turned his back on acting to finish his education.
After High School he joined the United States Forest Service, where he fought forest fires, before going back to University to gain a master's degree in geology.
Now 65, he designs computer software for oil and mining companies and lives near Seattle.
Angela Cartwright: Brigitta Von Trapp
The only British von Trapp, Angela was born in Cheshire in 1952 but moved to the US at a young age to appear in TV series Make Room For Daddy.
After landing the role of Brigitta in the movie, at the age of 12, she went on to star in hit TV series Lost in Space from 1965–1968 and was cast in the television movies Scout's Honor in 1980.
She has been married to actor and producer Steve Gullion for 40 years and they have two children.
Her acting career tailed off in the 1980s and she is now an artist who displays her work at Studio City, Los Angeles.
Debbie Turner: Marta von Trapp
Debbie Turner played six-year-old Marta von Trapp in the movie, the first child to take to Maria.
Although she had been acting in commercials from the age of six months, she gave up showbiz straight after the movie to concentrate on studying.
After graduating from college in California she worked in a ski resort where she met her husband Rick Larson. They married in 1980.
The couple have four daughters and live in Minesotta where Debbie runs her own loral and event design company now known as Debbie Turner Originals.
Kym Karath: Gretl Von Trapp
The cutest little von Trapp of the lot. Kym was six when she landed the role of Gretl but she was already an established actor, having starred in Spencer's Mountain with Henry Fonda at the age of three.
After The Sound of Music she went on to act in various US TV series including Family Affair, The Brady Bunch and Lost in Space.
Kym is said to be currently working on several new upcoming films.

Vess A-Series
Open Storage Platform For Optimized Video Surveillance
The Promise Technologies Vess NVR server and storage appliances are custom built to offer top of the line performance for IP video surveillance. Promise is active in all the key video surveillance segments, and able to provide a solution for deployments of any size.
Vess NVR appliances reduce support and equipment costs because there is no separate RAID storage unit to manage, eliminating the need for a server, controller cards, external cables, and a separate storage enclosure. In addition, Promise Vess NVR appliances reduce internal operation conflicts caused when integrating different hardware.
Certified By Recognisable Surveillance Partners
The Vess A-Series are all fully compatible with a range of IP cameras and Video management software from vendors such as Aimetis, Axxonsoft, CamIQ, CSVi, Digifort, Genetec, OnSSI, Seetec, Sony and Milestone.
An SDK library is also provided for VMS UI and management integration. Plus, Vess supports the Milestone VMS plug-in enabling it to be managed via the Xprotect interface. Additionally you can easily expand via iSCSI by adding Promise external storage.
Smart Boost Technology
A multitude of unique features designed to provide the highest level of service and overcome performance bottlenecks to allow Vess NVR's to handle a higher number of IP cameras than competing solutions.
Predictive Playback – Utilize idle recording times to monitor read patterns in order to predit where the next playback will be needed, ensuring that hard drives are not competing with the workload of the system.
Remote Active Service – Takes all the worries away by proactively detecting when PSU, controllers or HDDS are going into critical condition (Automatically notifying promise support so the customer can be contacted, spare parts can be sent out or the unit can be powered up after an outage – vitally important in environments that cannot risk downtime)
Sequential Pattern Recording – Eliminates the heavy workloads caused by random write patterns as this feature monitors recording patterns and collects
data in the cache buffer and only writes data to the drive once a full stripe is ready. This creates a sequential recording pattern which offers the smoothest performance

Jump in on some group rides! You're a plenty strong enough rider to handle group rides down here, I have to imagine your chapter has similar level rides.
I do plenty of solo riding, but always in an area that I'm familiar with. I'd be nervous about venturing out in an unknown remote area too.

We're still talking about simplicity, so we'll continue our discussion by bringing up a very important simple yet complicated must do for every school owner…
There's a very old marketing and sales formula that uses the letters A-I-D-A
Of course it stands for Attention, Interest, Desire and Action. I'm not going go into it for the simple fact that you understand it already. I just want to talk about the first word and brain storm some ideas to get Attention for your school.
The simple truth is Attention is what your school needs! If you can't get the attention of the people qualified and interested in benefiting from your program than you really have nothing!
Knowing that you must get attention is simple. Ask yourself…How can I get attention to my school? How can I get attention in ways that guarantee I'll be remembered and talked about?
The answers to these questions can be conventional or non-conventional. Here's an example…
You can easily knock off my "Hand Written Yellow Letter." Think about how that letter would get attention???? I know for a fact that when used in a market chances are great that the prospect has never, ever received something like it before.
Bottom line is that with all of the craziness out there we have no choice but to get attention in ways that are not the norm.
Here are some other ways to get attention to your school for any program, kids, adults, etc…
What about getting a DJ outside of your school for a night or a Saturday afternoon?
When the weather gets nice why not have class outside of your school or take a few of your students that you can trust will be safe on a run down a popular road or street in your area? Think of a school in Philly running through the Italian Market like Rocky did?
What about hiring a guy to walk around your plaza on stilts wearing your martial arts uniform and a black belt?
What about (if you really target kids) getting a petting zoo to set up shop for a few hours outside of the school?
How about calling the local spca and hosting a charity "adopt a stray animal day?"
You can always pull a PT Barnum and ride to your school on an Elephant!
You laugh, but remember getting attention is the simple thing we all need to accomplish and the fact is that it is not easy these days!
Think Trump…Remember how much of a huge deal he made about his spat with Martha Stewart and Rosie??? All to get attention!
To get behind the scenes of "MA-Biz Secret Society" for 30 days and get all of the resources you need in the Martial Arts Business go to….

Forward of Amazon's large AWS division Re:invent convention subsequent week, the corporate has introduced two developments within the space of synthetic intelligence. AWS is opening a machine studying lab, ML Solutions Lab, to pair Amazon machine studying specialists with clients seeking to construct options utilizing the AI tech. And it's releasing new options inside Amazon Rekognition, Amazon's deep learning-based picture recognition platform: real-time face recognition and the ability to recognize text in images.
The brand new lab and the enhancements to its picture recognition platform underscore the push that Amazon and AWS are giving to AI on the firm, each internally and as a possible space to develop its B2B enterprise on this space. They arrive a few month after AWS introduced it could be collaborating with Microsoft on Gluon, a deep learning interface designed for builders to construct and run machine studying fashions for his or her apps and different providers.
The truth that these two bulletins had been made in the present day, a day earlier than Thanksgiving, makes me marvel if AWS is laying groundwork for extra AI information at Re:invent, or if they're indicating that this is not going to be a spotlight because it has been in earlier years. It was final yr that Amazon used Re:invent to announce Amazon AI, which is the division that can oversee the options lab.
The ML Options Lab — which Amazon mentioned is accessible to any AWS Enterprise Assist buyer — is an fascinating growth as a result of it factors to Amazon ramping up not simply in AI, however in enterprise consultancy, which is a key cornerstone of offering IT providers to company clients at corporations like IBM.
"We are able to't anticipate builders to begin their journeys into machine studying with the Amazon ML Options Lab," mentioned Swami Sivasubramanian, vp of Amazon AI, in an announcement. "By combining the experience of the most effective machine studying scientists and practitioners at Amazon with the deep enterprise data of our clients, the Amazon ML Options Lab will assist clients rise up to hurry on machine studying shortly, and begin placing machine studying to work inside their organizations."
Early clients will embody The Washington Publish, Johnson & Johnson pharmaceutical division Janssen and the World Financial institution Group.
The brand new Rekognition options, in the meantime, level not solely to how Amazon continues to make main advances in pc imaginative and prescient, however its robust dedication to monetizing them by turning them into merchandise for exterior clients.
Notably, one of many greater clients utilizing the brand new Rekognition options is Pinterest, which is fascinating when you think about that image-related features like search and classification are among the firm's core options. Pinterest tells me the overwhelming majority of their visible search tech is developed in-house; this Rekognition utilization is a part of smaller challenge.
"We're within the early levels of exploring Rekognition with Amazon to scale a subset of Pins in AWS S3, however proceed to have a visible discovery group devoted to constructing and scaling applied sciences inside Pinterest," a spokesperson mentioned.
Pinterest has been an AWS buyer for years, with tens of millions of Pins at present saved in an Amazon S3 cloud, so it is smart that if Amazon has developed a brand new option to establish textual content in these pictures, it's a logical alternative to make use of it.
"As a visually-driven platform, Pinterest depends closely on the velocity and high quality of pictures, however the textual content behind these pictures is simply as necessary, because it supplies context and makes Pins actionable for our 200M+ energetic Pinners," mentioned Vanja Josifovski, CTO, Pinterest. "In working with Amazon Rekognition Textual content in Picture, we are able to higher extract the wealthy textual content captured in pictures at scale and with low latency for the tens of millions of Pins saved in Amazon S3. We stay up for persevering with to develop the partnership with AWS for prime quality and quick experiences for Pinners and companies on Pinterest."

The Congress on Saturday dubbed the Enforcement Directorate (ED) raids on P Chidambaram's premises in Delhi and Chennai as a "malicious vendetta" by Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led BJP government against its senior leaders.
"Not surprised by the malicious vendetta being unleashed against senior Congress leaders including P Chidambaram and his son," Congress spokesperson Randeep Surjewala was quoted as saying by the sources.
Surjewala also said that Prime Minister Modi and his government use the ED and the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) as "captive puppies".
"Everyday Prime Minister Modi and his government use the ED and the CBI as captive puppets to seek revenge from the Opposition," Surjewala added.
The reactions from the Congress came shortly after the Enforcement Directorate officials conducted a raid on former union minister P Chidambaram's son Karti's homes in Delhi and Chennai in connection with the Aircel-Maxis case.
Reacting to the raids, Chidambaram said that the ED officials found nothing during the raid at his son's Karti Chidambaram's residence, therefore, took away a few documents to justify themselves.
Chidambaram said the ED has "no jurisdiction" to conduct such searches under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).
"The ED has no jurisdiction to investigate under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA)," Chidambaram told reporters here.
He also said that there is no FIR concerning a scheduled crime by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) or any Police agency.
"Yesterday, the Supreme Court issued notice on the cases filed by my son Karti Chidambaram. These cases have been filed some time ago, notices were issued yesterday and the respondents were asked to file their reply if they wish to and the cases posted for hearing on January 30. The main ground in the case is that there is no FIR in respect of a scheduled crime registered by any police agency including the CBI," said Chidambaram.
Chidambaram also said he had yesterday itself anticipated that as the notices were issued by the SC, "the ED has to conduct some drama in order to cover up some track and hence will conduct searches in Chennai."
Speaking about the raid at Delhi's Jor Bagh, Chidambaram said, "In the comedy of errors they (ED) came to search the premises in Delhi's Jor Bagh and offices and told me they believed that Karti Chidambaram was the occupant of the house I told them otherwise."

One of art's purest challenges is to translate a human being into words. The New Yorker has met this challenge more successfully and more originally than any other modern American journal. It has indelibly shaped the genre known as the Profile. Starting with light-fantastic evocations of glamorous and idiosyncratic figures of the twenties and thirties, such as Henry Luce and Isadora Duncan, and continuing to the present, with complex pictures of such contemporaries as Mikhail Baryshnikov and Richard Pryor, this collection of New Yorker Profiles presents readers with a portrait gallery of some of the most prominent figures of the twentieth century. These Profiles are literary-journalistic investigations into character and accomplishment, motive and madness, beauty and ugliness, and are unrivalled in their range, their variety of style, and their embrace of humanity. Including these twenty-eight profiles: "Mr. Hunter's Grave" by Joseph Mitchell "Secrets of the Magus" by Mark Singer "Isadora" by Janet Flanner "The Soloist" by Joan Acocella "Time...?ortune...?ife...?uce" by Walcott Gibbs "Nobody Better, Better Than Nobody" by Ian Frazier "The Mountains of Pi" by Richard Preston "Covering the Cops" by Calvin Trillin "Travels in Georgia" by John McPhee "The Man Who Walks on Air" by Calvin Tomkins "A House on Gramercy Park" by Geoffrey Hellman "How Do You Like It Now, Gentlemen?" by Lillian Ross "The Education of a Prince" by Alva Johnston "White Like Me" by Henry Louis Gates, Jr. "Wunderkind" by A. J. Liebling "Fifteen Years of The Salto Mortale" by Kenneth Tynan "The Duke in His Domain" by Truman Capote "A Pryor Love" by Hilton Als "Gone for Good" by Roger Angell "Lady with a Pencil" by Nancy Franklin "Dealing with Roseanne" by John Lahr "The Coolhunt" by Malcolm Gladwell "Man Goes to See a Doctor" by Adam Gopnik "Show Dog" by Susan Orlean "Forty-One False Starts" by Janet Malcolm "The Redemption" by Nicholas Lemann "Gore Without a Script" by Nicholas Lemann "Delta Nights" by Bill Buford

If the Internet died in the next 7 days, would you still be here?
A visit from a long-gone friend turns into a choice nobody wants to deal with. A discussion about life and networks turns into a philosophical discussion about the meaning of life and human connection. And all that is left is a test on a simple USB drive that carries the fate of the world on its plastic shoulders.
"We didn't build the internet to last, but to serve.
You can't have both these things in a single object.
You must choose."
Making a choice that dictates the fate of the biggest network human beings built up till now takes the protagonist's life into an unusual and somewhat dark spin. Stuck between the consequences of his choice and trying to understand the real motive behind the test, the journey will bring both him and the reader closer to understanding what genuine connections between people are made of – and how the internet fits into all of that.
The novel "START.EXE" brings you a story about the end of days – in which most things stay the same, only people change. And humans hate change…

Unlimited capacity of the Russian people to endure the worst possible disaster and still struggle on
Every possible form of propaganda that the fight was worthwhile and would end in victory convinced the Russian people. Many aspects of censorship were relaxed allowing Russians more freedom to write and read than they had since the early years of the revolution
Stalin relaxed his attitude to the Orthodox Church- faith Holy Synod was reinstated and some training colleges for priests were reopened
Limits on the sizes of private plots of collective farmers were removed-> this encouraged food production
War production-> quickly organised the wholesale dismantling and removal of factories in western Russia to the Urals and beyond where they were at less risk of seizure by German forces-> over 10 million people evacuated from these areas. Production of tanks and planes exceeded figures in 1942 than in 1941. New weapons poured off production lines- T-34 tanks, Katyusha rockets and Yak fighter planes. Working hours extended to 12 hours and working week to 6 days. By 1943 war production was higher than in Germany.
Allied help-> over 400,000 lorries supplies by US, 14 million pairs of US boots
What were the results of the war for the USSR?
Russians endured unimaginable suffering.
Civilian deaths-> 19 million
Soldiers killed-> 9 million
Towns destroyed-> 1200
Villages destroyed-> 70,000
Railway destroyed-> 65,000kms
Hospitals destroyed-> 40,000
Kolkhozy wasted-> 100,000
What changes were made after the war in the USSR's planned economy?
The targets of the fourth plan were concentrated on heavy industry and transport
The urban workforce increased from 67 to 77 million in immediate post-war period
Causalities of war meant recruitment of many more women
Working week remained at 6 days and 12 hours per day
Wage differentials were maintained, Stakhanovites were lauded in the press, targets were set and workers were transferred across the USSR
Rations were maintained long after the war
Harvest of 1945 produced less than 60% of pre-war harvests
1946 USSR hit by nation wide drought
Machinery looted from East Germany supplemented the resources of the USSR
Moscovitch cars were made in Moscow in what had…

My reflections on the monastic retreat I made a couple weeks back have been, I admit, in the works for too long. But I can honestly say at this point that they will be ready tomorrow. I just have a little bit of tweaking left to do, and then the post is done.
Fair warning: It is a little long-ish — about two pages on a Microsoft Word document. But I could not really communicate the depth of the experience in less than that, so I do hope you will bear with me.
May God reward you for being patient with me 🙂

Hives are known medically as "Urticaria". It usually presents as itchy, red patches/swellings on the skin. It is a common skin problem that affects about 20% of the general population. The common hives are generally mild and self-limiting. In severe cases, the patient may have breathing difficulty, low blood pressure and giddiness.
Are there different types of Hives?
There are 2 main types of urticaria: acute and chronic urticaria. Acute urticaria is hives lasting less than 6 weeks and is usually triggered by drugs, food, viral infection, insect bites and contact irritants. On the other hand, chronic urticaria is hives lasting longer than 6 weeks and the cause is usually more difficult to identify. According to publish data, 80% of chronic urticaria have no known cause.
Dr Wong will take your detailed medical history, examine you clinically to help establish the diagnosis. Thereafter, Dr Wong will plan and organise the relevant allergy test. A skin biopsy may also be needed to help confirm or rule out suspected conditions.
When allergy is confirmed, the treatment is avoidance! Dr Wong will use anti-histamine to treat the routine acute and chronic urticaria. In some difficult cases, specialised medications will have to be used to ease the problem.
Dr Wong Soon Tee is a MOH accredited Dermatologist for more than 20 years. Consult him for a proper evaluation and treatment to break the irritation from hives/urticaria. Call Assurance Skin Clinic at 66941121 for an appointment.

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports that the National Research Council, a private organization chartered by Congress to advise the government of scientific matters, just finished a report on Internet traffic that Congress requested seven years ago.
Lawmakers had demanded the $1 million study, ultimately called "Signposts in Cyberspace," under a 1998 law. Passed almost at the dawn of what became the Internet boom, the law required the Commerce Department to seek a study about Web addresses and trademarks by the National Research Council and wrap up the report within nine months.
* * *
The council published its findings Thursday -- two presidential administrations later and years after the implosion of what had been a bustling Internet economy
* * *
"This was eagerly awaited for about 6 1/2 years ago," said Rep. James Sensenbrenner Jr., R-Wis., who ordered the study in 1998 as chairman of the House Science Committee.
No word yet on whether Al Gore (the inventor of the Internet) has seen this report yet.
He is probably still downloading it on his state-of-the-art 28K modem.

Because TrueLayer holds a single certificate with each of Monzo (oAuth/Challenger banks only) and Starling and so each time one of the applications tries to refresh their TrueLayer token, the bank token that we store is then refreshed.
Let's say there are two apps, A and B that use TrueLayer to connect their users.
- User Mary connects her Monzo account using TrueLayer to app A;
- User Mary then decides to connect the same Monzo account to app B, using TrueLayer.
- App A loses access to this user's Monzo account.
What to do next?
- Short-term solution: User Mary can re-authenticate using app A (although this will revoke her access to app B);
- Long-term solution: Get your own certificates with the banks and mitigate the issues.
