Most of the time, Salesforce.com's Marc Benioff is credited with inventing the new cloud model for delivering software via the Web.
But Larry Ellison, who once famously denounced the term "cloud computing," is now standing up to take credit for the concept, if not the currently fashionable term.
NetSuite CEO Zach Nelson told Business Insider that he can vouch for Ellison. Nelson worked with Ellison, Benioff, and another key player, Evan Goldberg, at Oracle back in the 1990s.
Goldberg really thought up the idea of software as a service, says Nelson. Goldberg was "an incredible developer" and Ellison wanted to invest in him, according to Nelson.
In a meeting, Goldberg described his idea to Ellison of building "a version of Siebel but on the Internet," Nelson says. (Siebel was the biggest customer-relationship management software maker of the day.)
Ellison said the idea was interesting but "no one runs their business on Siebel. You have to build the back office first, the accounting system and the ERP system, and then you build the other systems around it," Nelson recounted.
So Goldberg agreed to do that and Ellison funded it. The company was born as NetLedger. It would later change its name to NetSuite.
"There was one other guy in that conversation and that guy was Marc Benioff. Benioff called back two weeks later and said 'I'm going to do that Siebel online thing,' and that became Salesforce.com. Larry funded both of those companies," says Nelson.
And until last year, Ellison held a soft spot in his heart for Benioff, giving him a keynote at Oracle's annual conference OpenWorld.
That relationship fell apart in 2011. In 2005, Oracle bought Siebel, Benioff's biggest competition, and a quiet feud began to simmer. In 2011, Benioff got yanked from the speakers' list at OpenWorld. So he invited everyone to come hear him talk at a hotel across the street.
This year, Benioff wasn't invited to speak at OpenWorld at all.
Taking his place today at OracleWorld, in a prime keynote spot, was Nelson, who joined Goldberg's company in 2002. He talked about a cozy new partnership with Oracle where NetSuite's cloud software can work with Oracle's E-Business Suite. The idea is to divide the market so that Oracle gets the big enterprise deals, and NetSuite gets the midsized deals and can even snag some business alongside Oracle.
Good thing Ellison hedged his cloud-computing bets.

At elevated prices, Mass. homes continue to attract buyers
Prices keep going up but people keep buying as 2017 starts to draw to a close on a good note for the Massachusetts real estate market.
The median price of a single-family home rose again in October, the 19th consecutive month with an increase, and total October home sales surged to a 13-year high, the Warren Group reported Tuesday.
There were 5,192 single-family homes sold in October, a 5.5 percent increase compared to October 2016. So far in 2017, single-family home sales are up 0.1 percent over the same period in 2016, though market analysts are not fretting the slight growth.
"It does look like sales this year will end up doing very well and it will hold its own with last year," Tim Warren, CEO of the Warren Group, said on a podcast released Tuesday. "We'll probably have a flat 2017 but given that 2015 and 2016 both had double-digit increases in sales, a flat year in 2017 is still quite an achievement."
In Worcester County, there were 778 single-family home sales in October, up from 690 in October 2016. The median price for October 2017 was $257,750, compared with $246,750 in 2016.
The median price of a single-family home sold in Massachusetts last month was $360,000, up 5.8 percent from $340,000 last year, the Warren Group said. The month-over-month median price rose 5.2 percent from $341,175 in September.
October condo sales were up 8 percent in October, with 2,054 units sold last month. The median condominium sale price rose by 5.3 percent, hitting an October high of $332,500.
Warren said demand remains strong in Massachusetts and that he expects prices will "continue to inch up" amid a shrinking inventory.
"I don't see any storm clouds on the horizon for the local real estate market," Warren said. He added, "Overall, I think I'd have to say this is shaping up as a good year for the real estate market."
The Boston Foundation on Tuesday released its 15th annual Greater Boston Housing Report Card, which found Boston has granted nearly 60 percent of housing permits issued for buildings of five or more units this year, and over 41 percent of all new housing permits -- nearly double its share just five years ago.
The number of permits issued outside the city declined in 2017, according to the report, which cited data from 2015 indicating more than half of renters and 36 percent of homeowners with mortgages are paying more than 30 percent of their income on housing.
"While there are some hopeful signs for housing growth, affordable and middle-class housing remain difficult to find – and too many communities fail to see responsible development as the asset it can be," Boston Foundation President Paul Grogan said.
In Everett, the median selling price of a single-family home has risen 33 percent since 2015, from $307,500 to $410,000, according to the report. In Lynn, the median price increased 20 percent from $278,250 to $335,000, and in Malden prices are up 19.5 percent to $430,000.

Rockets @ Pistons Game #1 Thread
Here we go!!!
279 comments:
"The Rockets signed Jeremy Lin because they want to market to the Asian market"ReplyDelete
"The Rockets signed James Harden because of his beard"
Seems like people only think these two guys are hype. Let's see if this duo can prove people wrong.
This Rocket team(Lin-Harden-Parsons-Asik-Petterson) looks a lot better than the Linsanity squad (Lin-Shumpert-Fields-Novak-Chandler) which won 7 in a row.
I think if anyone is a betting man tonight, the Rockets are a great pick at 2.5 point underdogs.
Let's go.Replies
Marcus Morris will start in place of Patterson who has quad issues.Delete
Yes, this is an important game for Lin and Harden to set the tone for the season. Here we go!
But let's temper our expectations low since Harden just joined a few days ago and JLin is not quite 100%.Delete
I'm looking for both of them to assess the situation in the first half and make a big run in the 3rd quarter by setting up their bigs and shooters first.
I'm hoping for +8 stat for each of them.
I believe the Rockets offense will come around sooner and look better than we might expect due to the high basketball IQs and versatile floor games of Lin, Harden, Delfino, and Parsons, playing in an intuitive, flowing perimeter-oriented offense.Delete
Key word: intuitive. If the Rockets depend more on principles than design, and rely on their players' collective 'feel' on the court more than intricately drawn timing plays, they can jump the learning curve. Of course, weaknesses like team defense and raw bigs will be revealed by good opponents, too, but the Rockets can come to play with their own strengths.
16:10 for Rockets!ReplyDelete
Lin looking good so far. I'm cautious for Jeremy because hes playing at a really high gear from the start. I think he needs to take it down a gear to preserve his energy and health.ReplyDelete
Lin with 2 steals alreadyReplyDelete
Good start by Lin, 4pts, 2 stls, 1 astReplyDelete
Harden, 5 pts, 2 asts
They just figured out noone can stop them to the basket and they can always find their 3-point shooters.
jittery hands to start, both teamsReplyDelete
but Rox looks great!
just adrenaline kicking in, but looking good so far. both HO guards seem to be getting into the lane easily.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousOctober 31, 2012 at 5:08 PM
couple of early thoughts:ReplyDelete
harden is unselfish and is a gamer
lin is more choosy, and has been very effective in choosing when he wants to attack. great start
It is immediately apparent that the Lin/Hardin combo is going to be tough to guardReplyDeleteReplies
Lin and Harden are resting.ReplyDelete
Can Toney Douglas create the offense? Not looking goodReplies
I can tell Harden is not used to the Rockets offensive scheme since hes so new, but they are allowing him to freestyle it. Jeremy is looking like the straight A student who came to take a test prepared and he's doing everything right.ReplyDelete
near the end of first Delfino called offensive foul. rigged already? ridicReplyDelete
Rox making simple rookie mistakes (out of bounds) but still leading. like what i saw.
go Rockets!
How are you guys watching the game live?ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks for the updates. I am so grateful that i found this REAL JLin's site. KUDOS to Admin as well as the JLIN's fans.ReplyDelete
Jeremy contained Bynum on defense and got 2 quick assists. Now someone needs to stop Singler's hot hands. Not sure who is guarding him. Parsons?ReplyDelete
Lin is racking up the assists- some great passes to set up AsikReplyDelete
Parsons with an impressive low bounce-pass to Morris! Another steal by Lin.ReplyDelete
Lin tried to involve Harden but resulted in TO. Hope he just let it come naturally and not force it.
Lin still doesn't have the legs to elevate. Gotta be the kneeReplyDeleteReplies
Lin is just in his typical self. He's a difference maker on both ends of the floor. Too bad he can't guard 5 people at one time. Haha.ReplyDelete
ugh. Rox missing lot easy layups.... nervous 1st game. still s/win the gameReplyDelete
should have taken the 3, doubled harden next play too (to end half)ReplyDelete
Lin is being too unselfish: "I don't want the ball, here ya go Harden."ReplyDelete
"I won't let you guard Greg Monroe by yourself, I think I'm gonna help out, Oh No, my guy cut to the basket for an easy layup."Replies
i agree, looks ok but uneasy with shot and too unselfish, having trouble with picks tooDelete
Agreed. That was what I was thinking. I liked how they played during the pre season.Delete
That's what i hate from him the most, he tried to gamble so many times in defend to help his teammates and he ended up being roasted. that's why people called him a bad defender. seriously doesn't he learned from past experience? i wish he stop doing that, let his teammates defend one on one.Delete
Houston's defense relaxed a bit and let Pistons to make 10-3 run. They need to square up the defense so they can run in transition.ReplyDelete
No worries, they'll figure it out in the 3rd quarter. Lin and Harden need to start penetrating again.
- AnonymousOctober 31, 2012 at 5:54 PM
is it me or does it seem like the moves better before harden ?ReplyDeleteReplies
- AnonymousOctober 31, 2012 at 5:55 PM
It's clear that the agenda for the Rockets tonight is to showcase Harden because they announced the 80 million dollar contract. Great observation and you are totally correct.Delete
Not surprising. These Rockets players are unselfish. When suddenly a "superstar" is added, people are gonna defer to him and not move as smoothly. Harden is good and can post huge numbers but offense usually runs better through Lin. It's similar when Carmelo came back from injury last year in NY. Harden is less selfish than Carmelo but this "superstar ball" doesn't work long term.Delete
Haha. Gonna make that 80 million investment look good so let him run every play. Less urgent to make 25 million man look good, you know. Especially if that 25 million man is just a marketing tool by the owner, not a GM and coach signing.Delete
Cara, just remember this is all an entertainment and business. Just have fun with this event, there will be plenty to go around this season. all 82 games and possibly playoffs :)Delete
- AnonymousOctober 31, 2012 at 6:31 PM
kinda agree! but since that deal is already made, I hope for the best and not worry about the rest!Delete
We can all tell that JLin is not confident with his shot. He kept passing up open shots. Maybe the knee is not 100% but if the knee is weak then how come he does everything else excessively well. Hmmmm!ReplyDelete
Harden is as advertised.
I feel like the Rockets were too confident (ballsy for rooks and sophs heh?) and maybe that's why they were missing all those softly-contested layups.
Preseason form is holding in that he is passing good but not shooting confidently. Whether he misses or makes them, he should be more decisive. I gotta say that without Harden, I don't think Rockets would have a decent chance to win against Detroit. Of course, even with Harden, Rockets might lose here.ReplyDelete
Omg , when i said that he made 2 jumpers and both look smooth. Go JLinReplyDelete
and followed with a great pass. wow, that was prettyReplyDelete
Been a while since I posted... regardless of win or lose, Rocket's are going to be an exciting team. Harden and Lin make an incredible team. Immediate chemistry!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousOctober 31, 2012 at 6:17 PM
Harden is WAY better than Martin...Martin can only shoot, Harden can do that and everything else AND has a physical NBA body.ReplyDelete
Lin needs to just relax (which he will very soon) and by Feb, this duo will be darn good.
Lin just make some ugly ballhog play in the corner after Parson passed to him. If that was Martin, I would have thrown up. LIn should have moved the ball. He's not 100% yet to do that stuffReplies
I second that. I think people forgot abut how bad Martin looked in terms of all-around ability besides his shooting stroke.Delete
I also think Machado will replace Douglas as a backup PG quicker than we might have expected.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousOctober 31, 2012 at 6:23 PM
detroit looking alot tougher than the rockets right now....i think there is too much focus on lin and harden...the other are not getting any looks.ReplyDelete
Refs are favoring Brandon Knight way more than Jeremy Lin. Knight runs into Lin, blocking foul. Lin runs into Knight, blocking foul.ReplyDelete
They give Lin 2 pts for each 3-point shot.
Now Lin is out with 4 fouls ... looks like the Rockets might lose this one :(Replies
Buddy, relax. Rockets only down a few and it's still in the 3rd quarter. In my opinion, the two plays you're referring to were called correctly. Lin is having a decent game although his ability to protect the ball will come into question once again this season.Delete
Jeremy has to got to be more careful, though. He has to learn when to be "lazy."Delete
Just let Knight have his layup. Just pull up and settle for the jumper -- don't risk getting another foul when they need you so much.
The team is not playing good defense. They looked so much better during the pre season. I know the games are different but they added more pressure and hustled more They need to do that now.ReplyDelete
It's funny how Jeremy always looks like he's a horrible shooter and people and even sometimes himself doesn't have faith in his shot, yet his shooting percentage is always up there. So far hes 5/10 tonight. That's 50%, which is really good LOL. I think he needs to look more confident in it and stop caring when people make a big deal about missing shots.ReplyDelete
Lol this Rockets team is not very good besides Harden and Lin. Or according to people outside of here, they are just Harden and a bunch of role players. Even Lin's a role player.ReplyDelete
no wonder the Pis are leading.ReplyDelete
officiating heavily favoring the Pis - calling charges against Pis, Rox foul.
many Rox might foul out
- AnonymousOctober 31, 2012 at 6:27 PM
why is terrace jones not on court? I remember he did pretty good in preseason. Harden score 25 pts but it seems didn't help much! don't want to see the rocket lose! hope they bouncing back at 4th quarter!ReplyDeleteReplies
Who would you expect to score if Harden wasn't playing tonight?Delete
- AnonymousOctober 31, 2012 at 6:34 PM
I don't know who to expect but I remember there are couple players who score pretty good in the preseason. i was thinking maybe the coach want to put on other players to mix it up a little bit!Delete
Without Harden, they would be down by 20 right now. I agree with Jaynu. It is true that Rockets seem to play the best when Harden and Lin are both on the court. If Lin comes in and plays smart, this will be a close game and will be decided in last few minutes. Either that or 20 points blowout win for Pistons.Delete
Defense is really suffering without Jeremy. And the offense is reduced to Harden.ReplyDelete
Jeremy needs to come back in and just BE CAREFUL. Which he can. He was being "fearless" and committed two dumb fouls (one of which resulted in a TO).
The fix is in. Too many people betting on the Rockets in Vegas. You heard it here first...ReplyDelete
Lol didn't people say Asik is a great defensive player? Didn't they say Asik alone make a good defensive team? Here they are, giving up like 70 points to a lottery team like Pistons mid way through 3 quarters. See, preseason can be very misleading.ReplyDelete
It's 4th quarter now. WILL IT BE LINSANITY TIME?!?!??!?!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousOctober 31, 2012 at 6:36 PM
damn harden shoots alotReplyDeleteReplies
- AnonymousOctober 31, 2012 at 6:39 PM
yes...yes...Jaynu as me the question up there who to expect to score and I can't answer his questions besides hoping someone other than Harden and lin can help this team! In preseason, the rockets seems with many players who can score double digits and now...it seems not the case or what?! but I am not worry this is just their first game. i still optimistic about the ROckets!Delete
Remember, Lin is like Eli Manning - even when he just okay for 3Qs, the 4Q is HIS time.ReplyDelete
Here we go.ReplyDelete

Told you Toney Douglas stunk. Rockets need a backup PG and fast ...ReplyDelete
Er... Parsons looking sloppy today.ReplyDelete
Chandler Parsons is an idiot bringing up the ball all the way up court like he's a point guard. Instant turnover.ReplyDelete
quote anouncer: "alot of the explosion (piston) happened after Lin sat down"ReplyDelete
Rox 3 pts not good today. their bench not good. Rox not playing confident ever since the ref giving it to the Pis. Rox must win this for revenge.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousOctober 31, 2012 at 6:44 PM
when lin is on the court u can tell there is more energyReplyDeleteReplies
The whole team is getting sloppy when Lin is not out there. You can tell immediately when Lin is back out there. Harden working hard though. Lins gotta be carefull now - hes a great 4th quarter finisher but with 4 fouls...Delete
Its crazy though - they double Lin before he gets the ball...
FYI, in case anyone likes looking at numbers while watching the game.ReplyDelete

lin should drive moreReplyDelete
Wait, both of Lin's treys were 2s? I thought it was only the 2nd one where he had his foot on the line. Hmm. I guess they went to replay so I can't complain.ReplyDelete
The Rockets getting back in the game now that Jeremy's back in...Replies
I was thinking the same... first one I thought was 3!Delete
Del for 3! Delfino didn't play as much as he should because of BS fouls on him. Jlin 4 fouls by mid 3rd. Ridic.ReplyDelete
Lin is a difference maker at both ends of the floor. Whether people want to admit it or not. No disrespect to Harden who is a good player capable of putting up big numbers, but he's like a Kevin Love who put up huge numbers but can't carry a team by himself. Lin's more of a Ricky Rubio whose value clearly shows up in the W/L. Just the casual observers wouldn't appreciate Lin's presence, ability to make people better, and defense like they did with Rubio. And Lin's a better individual player than Rubio too. He's capable of putting numbers if given the opportunity, which Rubio can't.ReplyDeleteReplies
Lin and Harden are going to be a great combo!Delete
its too early to tell if harden cant carry a team. And come on who can carry a team all by himself? even lebron needs d-wade and bosh to win a championship. Why do u think lakers signed nash and dwight? To cheer for Kobe?? If its just rubio on the twolves without K-love they will still be a lottery team. The bench sucks. And they need another scorer. A legit third option.Delete
- AnonymousOctober 31, 2012 at 6:55 PM
Cara, Harden has 34 points, 10 assists, 5 rebounds, 2 steals and a blocked shot and has played 38 of the 42 minutes because of Lin's foul trouble (on bad calls but still). It is obvious that the Rockets need both Lin and Harden to win games.Delete
Agree - also Harden is new on the team. He needs to get the routines. Harden is not just unselfish like Lin but hes also a workhorse like Lin. Rockets need both and they are going to be awesome together!Delete

I agree with many of you guys. The Rockets, however little attention they're given now, will be very fun to watch. I still think Morey's moves aren't over and that we'll see a couple more additions before the deadline.

Was he really? Detroit dominated when Lin was out. When Lin came back, the Rockets dominated. Lin is Batman. But there is nothing wrong with being Robin, and Harden makes for a great Robin.Delete
Agree 100% dude! Harden scored, made good decisions on his own and made a lot of great passes but Lin is still the man who was shining on both ends.
He had trouble scoring but still -> he was the batman tonight. You can tell the Pistons exploded and Rockets fell appart as soon as Lin was out. Harden worked hard but couldnt control the Pistons.
Of course - that might change as soon as Harden gets used to his teammates but I dont think so. JLin is playing with so much brains on both ends and hes running so hard... thats hard to top! But of course - he runs so hard you cant expect him to shoot well..
Harden's a beast!ReplyDelete

A lot of JLin fans are afraid that Harden might steal the show but I dont think so. JLin himself repeatedly sad (as the anouncer said before the game started) that he concentrates on being PG. He wants less attention...
Yeah, there were so many no-calls... I know it's not his home turf, but this is supposed to be basketball, get hit on the hand, foul!Delete

great minds think alike, willydilly :DDelete
12 and 8... I suppose he'll get slightly better than that.. Overall, however, if Lin can keep up with those numbers and level of play, he's fulfilling his job. The Rockets can use a better bench, especially a new backup PG asap!Delete

Totally. The Detroit commentators know what's up. I wonder if the Rockets guys do.Delete
Harden was AMAZING, though even with his monster night, the Rockets still needed Jeremy back to stop the bleeding on defense and win the game.
And give major props to Delfino, too! He had a Novak-like hot streak of 3s that wiped out the deficit.
Yeah - Delfino was cool enough to make the shots when his team needed him the most. Props for that!Delete
Can you educate a basketball ignoramus like me? How is that stat calculated? It seemed to me that Harden's number is better than Jeremy's in almost everything and yet the +/- number is lower than Jeremy's?Delete
BTW, Thanks to all the commentators at this website. I can only follow the game in webcast so I have no idea how the game is flowing.
The drop off when Lin sits and Douglas comes in is huge.Delete

Machado isn't ready. He might be in a couple of years. The Rockets need to do another trade or scour the waiver wire.Delete
Lin's a lot of contribution actually doesn't show up in stats sheet. Rockets fans and casual observers won't recognize it though. Let Harden get all the credit. He deserves it and Lin won't care to be honest. People forget Lin could even play with Carmelo, he could play with anyone.Delete
And Lin isn't even 100% yet.
No need to call yourself an ignoramus. +/- is simply the aggregate differential in points while a particular player is on the floor. In tonight's case, the primary reason for Harden's lower number is Toney Douglas, who completely sucked (+/- of -14). Jlin's +/- stat is insulated from TD's poor play because, of course, he gets to sit when TD is on the floor.

Well, I was wrong. Lin is better off with a scorer (who passes!) like Harden than an iso chucker like Melo.ReplyDeleteReplies
Lin played well and contributed to the win. Harden sure made Morey look good today. Delfino came through also. A good start.ReplyDelete
JLin is about winning. He's just know how to win games when he play. Leave all the Stats to Harden.ReplyDeleteReplies

Lin's stats will be fine when he doesn't get in foul trouble (thanks for nothing refs!) and his knee gets better. Also, there is nothing wrong with a shooting guard who shoots. It's the shooting guards who can't shoot that is the problem. And not many shooting guards can get 12 assists while doing all that shooting, and for a team he just joined a few hours prior.Delete
come on man so is mike miller. we need some what of linsanity back.Delete

Anyone still regret the Harden for Lamb trade? Don't get me wrong, Lin is the best player, but without Harden's all around game and experience, the Rockets lose. No way Lamb plays 40+ minutes tonight. As a matter of fact, Lamb doesn't even start ... Martin does. Lamb will be able to play like this in 2-3 years, but it is better to have Harden now!ReplyDeleteReplies
Sorry unknown, I'm a big Lin fan but right now truth is he is NOT the best player, Hardin is.... and there is no shame in that. JLIn played great tonight and he's not even 100%. Lin/Hardin will be a lethal backcourtDelete
This comment has been removed by the author.Delete
im already totally sold on harden even before the game start. i love the trade.Delete
Are you that much of a Lin fanboy? Harden right now is better than Lin, just accept it. I'm a big Lin supporter but let's be rational here.Delete

harden got 12 assist...lin has a good partner to learn from and get betterReplyDelete
Harden > MeloReplyDelete

yep. mea culpa. mea culpaDelete
However, Knicks > Rockets because the Rockets are REALLY hurting for depth.
;) tua culpa, tua culpa, tua maxima culpa :)Delete
Of course Rockets dont have the depth but eventually it will come as time passes by. Anyway - very encouraging victory for the Rockets tonight. They gotta be celebrating right now :)

at the season goes on....jeremy will start scoring more and get more shots...when he proves that he can make them regularly...by then this team is gonna be toughReplyDelete
AMAZING debut by the Beardsanity duo!...stat of the night J-Lin an astounding plu/minus +23!...ReplyDelete
Black racists are having a field day on Twitter...again! They're orgasming that Lin played second fiddle to Harden tonight. They've already proclaimed this is Harden's team. It didn't matter to them that Lin had a +23. They're saying he's way over paid and overrated . They're laughing at his 4 TO's. I can only imagine what they'll say when he has a bad game! Some of them were really disappointed that Lin didn't have a bad game.ReplyDelete
When the Rockets was down, I knew Jeremy has to get back in to setup the offense. Although his stats doesnt justify how important he was in this win.ReplyDelete
is it gonna be a harden's team now? i want jeremy to be the leader. that's sucks man.ReplyDelete

Story highlights
NEW: "I've got to start again," says a 54-year-old woman
Australian firefighters are still battling the fires
At least one person has died
Springwood and Winmalee area of the Blue Mountains are among the hardest hit
Two of the dozens of bush fires burning out of control in the eastern Australian state of New South Wales were sparked by power lines that had been buffeted by strong winds, fire officials said Saturday, citing preliminary investigations.
In the Springwood fire, 193 homes have been destroyed and another 109 damaged. In the Mt. Victoria fire, seven homes have been destroyed and one damaged, the New South Wales Rural Fire Service said in a statement.
Fire investigators were still looking into the cause of the other fires.
Earlier, authorities said they were trying to determine whether one of the fires was caused by a military training exercise.
A huge blaze near Lithgow, New South Wales, started on October 16, when officials "were conducting an explosive ordnance training activity," the Australian Department of Defense said.
Hundreds of homes have been destroyed or damaged by dozens of major bush fires raging in eastern Australia, fire officials said.
Authorities said this week that some 95 fires were burning and that 34 of them were out of control.
The Springwood and Winmalee areas of the Blue Mountains were among the hardest hit, the fire service said. It suggested residents seek shelter and protect themselves from the heat. Emergency alert telephone warning messages were being sent to people in the area, the fire service said.
The fires have caused numerous road closures in the state, the fire service said, adding that a damage assessment was underway.
At least one fatality has been reported. Walter Lindner, 63, died of a suspected heart attack on Friday while defending his home against a blaze on the New South Wales Central Coast, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation reported.
Lindner collapsed while working alongside his neighbor to save his heritage-listed homestead, according to ABC. He was taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead.
The toll has been emotional for many. "I said to my husband, I remembered when he carried me across the threshold," a 54-year-old woman whose house was a total loss told Reuters. "I've got to start again, but we will … as a family, together."
The Blue Mountains area is a UNESCO World Heritage Site west of Sydney. Fires sent plumes of smoke into the air.
New South Wales Premier Barry O'Farrell warned Thursday that hundreds of homes could be destroyed.
Footage broadcast earlier by CNN affiliate Seven Network showed flames consuming homes.

Lyrics: John Barlow
Music: Bob Weir
Played frequently by Bob Weir with the Grateful Dead and more recently with Ratdog and other bands. . Also with Phil Lesh & Friends. Introduced by Bob Weir in Europe '72 as "Time for a crying song".
I have seen where the wolf has slept by the silver streamNotes
I can tell by the mark he left, you were in his dream
Ah child of countless trees
Ah child of boundless seas
What you are, what you're meant to be
Speaks his name, though you were born to me
Born to me, Cassidy
Lost now on the country miles in his Cadillac
I can tell by the way you smile, he is rolling back
Come wash the night-time clean
Come grow the scorched ground green
Blow the horn, tap the tambourine
Close the gap of the dark years in between
You and me, Cassidy
Quick beats in an icy heart
Catch colt draws a coffin cart
There he goes and now here she starts
Hear her cry
Flight of the seabirds
Scattered like lost words
Wheel to the storm and fly
Faring thee well now
Let your life proceed by its own designs
Nothing to tell now
Let the words be yours, I'm done with mine
Faring thee well now
Let your life proceed by its own designs
Nothing to tell now
Let the words be yours, I'm done with mine
Flight of the seabirds (note a)
Scattered like lost words
Wheel to the storm and fly
Weir ... rejected Barlow's first take, written the previous fall. Barlow had been in a dark mood, born of, among other things, the war in Vietnam, and an experience he'd had in a cafe in Rawlins, Wyoming, where as a longhair he'd asked for lamb chops and been served a skinned lamb's head, eyes intact, in a pool of blood. His first version of "Cassidy" included lines like "ten pound rat in a trashcan, nuclear war neanderthal man". "I thought it was a little heavy-handed for the melody", observed Weir.

MS Physics and SU 2019
Does MS Physics work with SU 2019?
I get error messages when loading it.
Re: MS Physics and SU 2019
I got errors at startup too. I disabled it for now as i don't use it very often.
Re: MS Physics and SU 2019
No it doesn't work with 2019 as of yet.
Re: MS Physics and SU 2019
I don't get error messages, it just doesn't show up when I download it.
Re: MS Physics and SU 2019
lastimosamente no corre en 2019 es una pena considerando el potencial del pluguin esta revisando continuamente para ver si se resuelve el problema...
Re: MS Physics and SU 2019
Only works for SU 2017. Is there an update in scope or do you know of a similar plugin to drop stuff at random in a basket for example? Really hope for a 2019 update - such an awesome plugin.
Re: MS Physics and SU 2019
Has there been any movement on this? Would love to use it in SU2020.
Re: MS Physics and SU 2019
Hi All,
MSPhysics works well for me !
For that, you must put the MSPhysics directory and MSphysic.rb directly in the library directory of SKetchup 2019. Futhermore, you must add AMS_library 3.5.0 + with the extension manager.
if you have any difficulties, ask to me and i answer you
Best regard
Re: MS Physics and SU 2019
Hi Thierry,
Do we need to install first the library? or it doesn't matter the order of installation.
Thanks in advance,
Jose Castellot
Re: MS Physics and SU 2019
Hey, could you let me know the exact route where you paste it ?i'm pretty nooby at this, also, do you copy the MSPhysics.rbx ?
thanks in advance!
Re: MS Physics and SU 2019
I am new on MSPhisics and still using SU 2019. Already tryed to install first AMS Library and MSPhisics by using "Install extension" and and locate the file .rbz in the plugin Folder.
The plugin after installation seems are installed but alway this message:

Any one have suggestions ?
What's going one ?
Re: MS Physics and SU 2019
If you read through this thread you will see that the author has indicated it doesn't work in SketchUp 2019. See:
As of this date it has not been updated to work with SketchUp 2019 or newer.

As a pioneer and consistent leader of UTM solutions, Fortinet is constantly innovating our technologies to deliver the end-to-end security and high-performance networking to serve as the foundation for thousands of SMB and distributed enterprise IT infrastructures."
News Summary
Fortinet® (NASDAQ: FTNT), the global leader in high-performance cybersecurity solutions, today announced it has been recognized as a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Unified Threat Management (SMB Multifunction Firewalls)1 for the eighth consecutive time. Gartner recognized Fortinet for its completeness of vision and ability to execute on that vision when evaluating its Security Fabric solution. Fortinet also was positioned the highest for its ability to execute. Fortinet's FortiGate UTM solutions deliver complete security and networking services, tailored to meet the performance and value requirements for small and medium businesses and distributed enterprises.
Independent evaluation and market analysis conducted by firms like Gartner are critical to help businesses identify those vendors best suited to protect their critical data and assets against an increasingly hostile threat landscape.
The Most Advanced Technology in the Market
Fortinet developed its technology for UTM from the ground up to deliver the most complete range of UTM solutions in the market. At the foundation of its UTM technology is Fortinet's custom-designed Security Processing Unit, the SOC3 (system-on-a-chip). SOC3 more than doubles the secure networking performance over the enterprise-class CPUs found in competing security solutions, all at a lower cost. The power of SOC3 enables FortiGate UTM appliances to deliver consolidated security features, ideal for small and medium businesses, while outperforming the competition.
This innovative technology foundation has made Fortinet the leading security provider for SMBs and positions Fortinet as the largest market share holder in the UTM space.
Unified Control and Advanced Security Fabric Features
Fortinet's universal operating system FortiOS delivers a complete security and networking feature-set that consolidates FortiGate firewall, FortiAP wireless access points and FortiSwitches into a single, compact appliance:
- Advanced Security: Enterprise Firewall, IPS, VPN Inspection, WAF, SSL Inspection and Cloud-Based Sandboxing
- Performance Networking: Routing, Load Balancing, WAN Optimization, 3G/4G connectivity and 802.11ac Wi-Fi
FortiGate UTM solutions are also backed by FortiGuard Labs global threat intelligence, receiving real-time updates to stay ahead of new and existing threats emerging on the global threat landscape. These unified capabilities reduce IT complexity for often resource-constrained SMBs who require the advanced protection, networking performance, and unified visibility offered by the Fortinet Security Fabric.
Reducing Management Complexity for SMBs, Partners and Service Providers
Fortinet also offers SaaS-based management tools to give SMBs and distributed enterprises centralized control over their infrastructure, whether they are managing a few appliances or thousands. The ease-of-use and flexibility also extends to channel partners to reduce their resource requirements and simplify customer management. These intuitive and unified management solutions arm SMBs and partners with the visibility, analytics and control offered by the Fortinet Security Fabric.
To better support MSSP's and distributed enterprises, these capabilities can be administered through a unified management console that simplifies operations for often resource-constrained IT teams, while enabling scalability to simultaneously control thousands of devices. FortiManager automates device provisioning and management, centralizes policy distribution and orchestration, and helps maintain regulatory compliance to reduce operational burdens.
Fortinet is also a leading provider of UTM solution for Managed Security Service Providers and provides additional controls that enable service providers and larger enterprises to simplify bulk deployment and centralize management of more complex and geographically dispersed architectures.

There's now a getting started page about library management, which you may want to read first.
Documentation Maintenance Note: it would be nice to remove the overlap between this page and the getting started page, leaving this page with the more advanced topics such as checksums and external Ivy files.
There are two ways for you to manage libraries with sbt: manually or automatically. These two ways can be mixed as well. This page discusses the two approaches. All configurations shown here are settings that go directly in a .sbt file.
Manually managing dependencies involves copying any jars that you want
to use to the
lib directory. sbt will put these jars on the classpath
during compilation, testing, running, and when using the interpreter.
You are responsible for adding, removing, updating, and otherwise
managing the jars in this directory. No modifications to your project
definition are required to use this method unless you would like to
change the location of the directory you store the jars in.
To change the directory jars are stored in, change the
setting in your project definition. For example, to use
unmanagedBase := baseDirectory.value / "custom_lib"
If you want more control and flexibility, override the
task, which ultimately provides the manual dependencies to sbt. The
default implementation is roughly:
Compile / unmanagedJars := (baseDirectory.value ** "*.jar").classpath
If you want to add jars from multiple directories in addition to the default directory, you can do:
Compile / unmanagedJars ++= {
val base = baseDirectory.value
val baseDirectories = (base / "libA") +++ (base / "b" / "lib") +++ (base / "libC")
val customJars = (baseDirectories ** "*.jar") +++ (base / "d" / "my.jar")
See Paths for more information on building up paths.
This method of dependency management involves specifying the direct dependencies of your project and letting sbt handle retrieving and updating your dependencies.
sbt 1.3.0+ uses Coursier to implement dependency management. Until sbt 1.3.0, sbt has used Apache Ivy for ten years. Coursier does a good job of keeping the compatibility, but some of the feature might be specific to Apache Ivy. In those cases, you can use the following setting to switch back to Ivy:
ThisBuild / useCoursier := false
Inline declarations are a basic way of specifying the dependencies to be automatically retrieved. They are intended as a lightweight alternative to a full configuration using Ivy.
Declaring a dependency looks like:
libraryDependencies += groupID % artifactID % revision
libraryDependencies += groupID % artifactID % revision % configuration
See configurations for details on configuration mappings. Also, several dependencies can be declared together:
libraryDependencies ++= Seq(
groupID %% artifactID % revision,
groupID %% otherID % otherRevision
If you are using a dependency that was built with sbt, double the first
% to be
libraryDependencies += groupID %% artifactID % revision
This will use the right jar for the dependency built with the version of Scala that you are currently using. If you get an error while resolving this kind of dependency, that dependency probably wasn't published for the version of Scala you are using. See Cross Build for details.
Ivy can select the latest revision of a module according to constraints
you specify. Instead of a fixed revision like
"1.6.1", you specify
"2.9.+", or
"[1.0,)". See the
Ivy revisions
documentation for details.
sbt uses the standard Maven2 repository by default.
Declare additional repositories with the form:
resolvers += name at location
For example:
libraryDependencies ++= Seq(
"org.apache.derby" % "derby" % "10.4.1.3",
"org.specs" % "specs" % "1.6.1"
resolvers += "Sonatype OSS Snapshots" at "https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots"
sbt can search your local Maven repository if you add it as a repository:
resolvers += "Local Maven Repository" at "file://"+Path.userHome.absolutePath+"/.m2/repository"
See Resolvers for details on defining other types of repositories.
resolvers configures additional, inline user resolvers. By default,
sbt combines these resolvers with default repositories (Maven Central
and the local Ivy repository) to form
externalResolvers. To have more
control over repositories, set
externalResolvers directly. To only
specify repositories in addition to the usual defaults, configure
For example, to use the Sonatype OSS Snapshots repository in addition to the default repositories,
resolvers += "Sonatype OSS Snapshots" at "https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots"
To use the local repository, but not the Maven Central repository:
externalResolvers := Resolver.combineDefaultResolvers(resolvers.value.toVector, mavenCentral = false)
The repositories used to retrieve sbt, Scala, plugins, and application dependencies can be configured globally and declared to override the resolvers configured in a build or plugin definition. There are two parts:
The repositories used by the launcher can be overridden by defining
~/.sbt/repositories, which must contain a
[repositories] section
with the same format as the
Launcher configuration file. For example:
my-maven-repo: https://example.org/repo
my-ivy-repo: https://example.org/ivy-repo/, [organization]/[module]/[revision]/[type]s/[artifact](-[classifier]).[ext]
A different location for the repositories file may be specified by the
sbt.repository.config system property in the sbt startup script. The
final step is to set
sbt.override.build.repos to true to use these
repositories for dependency resolution and retrieval.
If your project requires a dependency that is not present in a repository, a direct URL to its jar can be specified as follows:
libraryDependencies += "slinky" % "slinky" % "2.1" from "https://slinky2.googlecode.com/svn/artifacts/2.1/slinky.jar"
The URL is only used as a fallback if the dependency cannot be found through the configured repositories. Also, the explicit URL is not included in published metadata (that is, the pom or ivy.xml).
By default, these declarations fetch all project dependencies,
transitively. In some instances, you may find that the dependencies
listed for a project aren't necessary for it to build. Projects using
the Felix OSGI framework, for instance, only explicitly require its main
jar to compile and run. Avoid fetching artifact dependencies with either
intransitive() or
notTransitive(), as in this example:
libraryDependencies += "org.apache.felix" % "org.apache.felix.framework" % "1.8.0" intransitive()
You can specify the classifier for a dependency using the
method. For example, to get the jdk15 version of TestNG:
libraryDependencies += "org.testng" % "testng" % "5.7" classifier "jdk15"
For multiple classifiers, use multiple
classifier calls:
libraryDependencies +=
"org.lwjgl.lwjgl" % "lwjgl-platform" % lwjglVersion classifier "natives-windows" classifier "natives-linux" classifier "natives-osx"
To obtain particular classifiers for all dependencies transitively, run
updateClassifiers task. By default, this resolves all artifacts
with the
sources or
javadoc classifier. Select the classifiers to
obtain by configuring the
transitiveClassifiers setting. For example,
to only retrieve sources:
transitiveClassifiers := Seq("sources")
To exclude certain transitive dependencies of a dependency, use the
excludeAll or
exclude methods. The
exclude method should be used
when a pom will be published for the project. It requires the
organization and module name to exclude. For example,
libraryDependencies +=
"log4j" % "log4j" % "1.2.15" exclude("javax.jms", "jms")
excludeAll method is more flexible, but because it cannot be
represented in a pom.xml, it should only be used when a pom doesn't need
to be generated. For example,
libraryDependencies +=
"log4j" % "log4j" % "1.2.15" excludeAll(
ExclusionRule(organization = "com.sun.jdmk"),
ExclusionRule(organization = "com.sun.jmx"),
ExclusionRule(organization = "javax.jms")
See ModuleID for API details.
In certain cases a transitive dependency should be excluded from
all dependencies. This can be achieved by setting up
excludeDependencies ++= Seq(
// commons-logging is replaced by jcl-over-slf4j
ExclusionRule("commons-logging", "commons-logging")
Downloading source and API documentation jars is usually handled by an
IDE plugin. These plugins use the
updateClassifiers and
updateSbtClassifiers tasks, which produce an
referencing these jars.
To have sbt download the dependency's sources without using an IDE
plugin, add
withSources() to the dependency definition. For API jars,
withJavadoc(). For example:
libraryDependencies +=
"org.apache.felix" % "org.apache.felix.framework" % "1.8.0" withSources() withJavadoc()
Note that this is not transitive. Use the
update*Classifiers tasks
for that.
Extra attributes
can be specified by passing key/value pairs to the
extra method.
To select dependencies by extra attributes:
libraryDependencies += "org" % "name" % "rev" extra("color" -> "blue")
To define extra attributes on the current project:
projectID := {
val previous = projectID.value
previous.extra("color" -> "blue", "component" -> "compiler-interface")
sbt additionally supports directly specifying the configurations or dependencies sections of an Ivy configuration file inline. You can mix this with inline Scala dependency and repository declarations.
For example:
ivyXML :=
<dependency org="javax.mail" name="mail" rev="1.4.2">
<exclude module="activation"/>
By default, sbt uses the standard Ivy home directory location
${user.home}/.ivy2/. This can be configured machine-wide, for use by
both the sbt launcher and by projects, by setting the system property
sbt.ivy.home in the sbt startup script (described in
For example:
java -Dsbt.ivy.home=/tmp/.ivy2/ ...
sbt (through Ivy) verifies the checksums of downloaded files by default. It also publishes checksums of artifacts by default. The checksums to use are specified by the checksums setting.
To disable checksum checking during update:
update / checksums := Nil
To disable checksum creation during artifact publishing:
publishLocal / checksums := Nil
publish / checksums := Nil
The default value is:
checksums := Seq("sha1", "md5")
The conflict manager decides what to do when dependency resolution
brings in different versions of the same library. By default, the latest
revision is selected. This can be changed by setting
which has type ConflictManager.
See the
Ivy documentation
for details on the different conflict managers. For example, to specify
that no conflicts are allowed,
conflictManager := ConflictManager.strict
With this set, any conflicts will generate an error. To resolve a conflict, you must configure a dependency override, which is explained in a later section.
The following direct dependencies will introduce a conflict on the akka-actor version because banana-rdf requires akka-actor 2.1.4.
libraryDependencies ++= Seq(
"org.w3" %% "banana-rdf" % "0.4",
"com.typesafe.akka" %% "akka-actor" % "2.3.7",
The default conflict manager will select the newer version of akka-actor,
2.3.7. This can be confirmed in the output of
show update, which
shows the newer version as being selected and the older version as evicted.
> show update
[info] compile:
[info] com.typesafe.akka:akka-actor_2.10
[info] - 2.3.7
[info] - 2.1.4
[info] evicted: true
[info] evictedReason: latest-revision
[info] callers: org.w3:banana-rdf_2.10:0.4
Furthermore, the binary version compatibility of the akka-actor 2.1.4 and 2.3.7 are not guaranteed since the second segment has bumped up. sbt 0.13.6+ detects this automatically and prints out the following warning:
[warn] There may be incompatibilities among your library dependencies.
[warn] Here are some of the libraries that were evicted:
[warn] * com.typesafe.akka:akka-actor_2.10:2.1.4 -> 2.3.7
[warn] Run 'evicted' to see detailed eviction warnings
Since akka-actor 2.1.4 and 2.3.7 are not binary compatible, the only way to fix this is to downgrade your dependency to akka-actor 2.1.4, or upgrade banana-rdf to use akka-actor 2.3.
For binary compatible conflicts, sbt provides dependency overrides.
They are configured with the
dependencyOverrides setting, which is a set of
ModuleIDs. For
example, the following dependency definitions conflict because spark
uses log4j 1.2.16 and scalaxb uses log4j 1.2.17:
libraryDependencies ++= Seq(
"org.spark-project" %% "spark-core" % "0.5.1",
"org.scalaxb" %% "scalaxb" % "1.0.0"
The default conflict manager chooses the latest revision of log4j, 1.2.17:
> show update
[info] compile:
[info] log4j:log4j:1.2.17: ...
[info] (EVICTED) log4j:log4j:1.2.16
To change the version selected, add an override:
dependencyOverrides += "log4j" % "log4j" % "1.2.16"
This will not add a direct dependency on log4j, but will force the
revision to be 1.2.16. This is confirmed by the output of
show update:
> show update
[info] compile:
[info] log4j:log4j:1.2.16
Note: this is an Ivy-only feature and will not be included in a published pom.xml.
Adding the following dependency to your project will result to an unresolved dependencies error of vpp 2.2.1:
libraryDependencies += "org.apache.cayenne.plugins" % "maven-cayenne-plugin" % "3.0.2"
sbt 0.13.6+ will try to reconstruct dependencies tree when it fails to resolve a managed dependency. This is an approximation, but it should help you figure out where the problematic dependency is coming from. When possible sbt will display the source position next to the modules:
[warn] ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
[warn] :: UNRESOLVED DEPENDENCIES ::
[warn] ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
[warn] :: foundrylogic.vpp#vpp;2.2.1: not found
[warn] ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
[warn] Note: Unresolved dependencies path:
[warn] foundrylogic.vpp:vpp:2.2.1
[warn] +- org.apache.cayenne:cayenne-tools:3.0.2
[warn] +- org.apache.cayenne.plugins:maven-cayenne-plugin:3.0.2 (/foo/some-test/build.sbt#L28)
[warn] +- d:d_2.10:0.1-SNAPSHOT

See Publishing for how to publish your project.
Ivy configurations are a useful feature for your build when you need custom groups of dependencies, such as for a plugin. Ivy configurations are essentially named sets of dependencies. You can read the Ivy documentation for details.
The built-in use of configurations in sbt is similar to scopes in Maven. sbt adds dependencies to different classpaths by the configuration that they are defined in. See the description of Maven Scopes for details.
You put a dependency in a configuration by selecting one or more of its
configurations to map to one or more of your project's configurations.
The most common case is to have one of your configurations
A use a
dependency's configuration
B. The mapping for this looks like
"A->B". To apply this mapping to a dependency, add it to the end of
your dependency definition:
libraryDependencies += "org.scalatest" %% "scalatest" % "3.2.12" % "test->compile"
This says that your project's
"test" configuration uses
"compile" configuration. See the
Ivy documentation
for more advanced mappings. Most projects published to Maven
repositories will use the
"compile" configuration.
A useful application of configurations is to group dependencies that are
not used on normal classpaths. For example, your project might use a
"js" configuration to automatically download jQuery and then include
it in your jar by modifying
resources. For example:
val JS = config("js") hide
ivyConfigurations += JS
libraryDependencies += "jquery" % "jquery" % "3.2.1" % "js->default" from "https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.2.1.min.js"
Compile / resources ++= update.value.select(configurationFilter("js"))
config method defines a new configuration with name
"js" and
makes it private to the project so that it is not used for publishing.
See Update Report for more information on selecting
managed artifacts.
A configuration without a mapping (no
"->") is mapped to
"compile". The
-> is only needed when mapping to a different
configuration than those. The ScalaTest dependency above can then be
shortened to:
libraryDependencies += "org.scalatest" %% "scalatest" % "3.2.12" % "test"
Note: Forcing can create logical inconsistencies so it's no longer recommended.
To say that we prefer the version we've specified over the version from
indirect dependencies, use
libraryDependencies ++= Seq(
"org.spark-project" %% "spark-core" % "0.5.1",
"log4j" % "log4j" % "1.2.14" force()
Note: this is an Ivy-only feature and cannot be included in a published pom.xml.
Maven support is dependent on Coursier or Ivy's support for Maven POMs. Known issues with this support:
relativePath in the
parent section of a POM will
produce an error.

This madness around #RachelDolezal has me and many other transracial adoptees and transracial families squirming and a bit angry. Please check out this article I wrote for Lost Daughters about the whole debaucle.
Transracial Lives Matter: Rachel Dolezal and the Privilege of Racial Manipulation
"The commodification of Otherness has been so successful because it is offered as a new delight, more intense, more satisfying than normal ways of doing and feeling. Within commodity culture, ethnicity becomes spice, seasoning that can liven up the dull dish that is mainstream white culture." bell hooks — Eating the Other: Desire and Resistance
"They love our bodies, but they don't love us." #BlackWomensLivesMatter #SayHerName
"Everybody wanna be a nigga, but nobody wanna be a nigga." Paul Mooney.
I was doing my best to ignore this story. It wasn't until one of my fellow adult adoptees alerted me to the fact that Twitter (which I use religiously, but avoided specifically the past two days) had begun to use the term "Transracial" to refer to Rachel Dolezal, a white woman who has been outed as hiding her whiteness and living as a black woman that I paid attention. I discovered that Twitter had also begun a hashtag as a sarcastic taunt — #TransracialLivesMatter. Then, I read an article that argued that "transracial identity, is not a thing." Um. No.
For those of you who don't know, and clearly there are a lot of you, the term "transracial" is used in scholarly research, creative writing and cultural work to denote a particular "state of being" for people adopted across race. It also describes a kind of family unit / type of parenting. In other words, it IS a 'thing'. It is disheartening and disconcerting to see this term used dismissively as if it does not encompass an entire population of Black, Brown, Native and Asian people across the globe. For the past 35ish years, I've considered myself to be a transracial adoptee. The "trans" in transracial for me, never meant my race changed. It meant I was a multiracial black girl, adopted into a white family. It meant I was taken without my consent from one home, one place of origin and put inside another family, another culture, another race, one that didn't belong to me. It meant I had to learn how to navigate my blackness and my black girlness, inside an often times racist, religious, violent and rigid white world. It meant living in a house and community that simultaneously erased me, racialized me and tokenized me. It gave me a language to articulate what was happening to me. But you know what it didn't do? It never actually changed my race."

The regions of Alsace and Lorraine in the north east of France are perfect partners and share a taste for a genial outlook on life. Both celebrate Christmas in style and the festive markets of Strasbourg, Mulhouse, Metz and Nancy are famous for their gourmet delights. From the magnificent wine routes of Alsace, Lorraine's art of tableware, medieval architecture and Art Nouveau decor, enchanting villages which nestle at the feet of castles and centres of contemporary art, these two regions offer the best of food and art…
The historic centre of Strasbourg, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is like a living museum of architecture from the middle ages. Notre-Dame cathedral is a masterpiece of Gothic art whose spire was for centuries, the highest in all of Christendom. Criss-crossed by canals, the irresistibly enchanting 'Petite France' island district is full of 16th and 17th century half-timbered houses lining the water's edge. But it's in December, when the dazzling Christmas markets are in full flow that you really get to enjoy the festive atmosphere inherited from the great fairs of the Middle Ages. There has been a Christmas market here since 1570 and the intoxicating aroma from the gingerbread stall at the foot of the city's annual giant Christmas tree is simply sublime.
Strasbourg makes for a great gateway to the Alsace wine route which begins at Marlenhaim, 20 kilometres (12 miles) from the city centre. Experience outstanding culture and splendid gastronomy along the way. In Molsheim, the Museum of Chartreuse, located in a historic monastery, presents an exhibition of archaeology, art and history. It's also home to the Bugatti Foundation with a collection dedicated to the famous inventor. In Eguisheim, one of the most beautiful villages in France, the medieval architecture is stunning: the town is built helter-skelter effect around a castle. And in Kaysersberg, explore the narrow cobbled streets lined with half-timbered houses to discover its secrets, including a fabulous Romanesque church portal and a fortified bridge. Leave the beaten track to discover less well known delights. In Wingen-sur-Moder, the Lalique museum has a collection of exceptional pieces by the famous glass artist. And in Sélestat the new Humanist Library presents a literary treasure trove.
The city of Colmar is an absolute must-see. Tour this 'little Venice' from a boat to admire the gorgeous buildings that line the river. On dry land, discover 1000 years of history. The Unterlinden Museum where, a former 13th century convent, houses the Isenheim altarpiece by Grünewald, a masterpiece of late Gothic art, among its many treasures.
In Mulhouse experience a change of scenery with its vibrant street art and tramline artwork "Arches" by artist Daniel Buren. This old textile town is at the height of contemporary art. The city's industrial automobile origins are clear: the Cité de l'Automobile is the largest car museum in the world and there is also the Cité du Train museum for railway enthusiasts.
Over 170 kilometres (105 miles) long, travelling time along the length of the Alsace Wine Route varies according to your appetite. Along the way enjoy delicious wines like Riesling and Gewurztraminer. More than 50 grands crus, wines from seven grape varieties and many different beers are best enjoyed with a nibble on a pretzel, a local favourite. Wind down in a winstub, a traditional style bistro and savour sauerkraut or dishes flavoured with Munster, the king of Alsatian cheeses. Or relax in the vineyards of Domaine Sohler Philippe and enjoy a meal accompanied by a Grand Cru Muenchberg. In winter, the snack you absolutely must try is spicy gingerbread, a legendary speciality of Alsace.
Lorraine is proud of its great industrial and artistic traditions, reflected in the region's famous skills for making tableware and dressing the table.
Nancy, the city whose architecture was influenced by King Stanislas after whom the glorious Place Stanislas is named, is the birthplace of Art Nouveau. Metz also has an impressive architectural footprint: the 6,500 square meters (7,100 square yards) of stained glass which decorates its cathedral could serve as an encyclopaedia on the art of glasswork. The Imperial District is full of rich architecture, while the bold Chinese hat style roof of the Center Pompidou-Metz is a masterpiece of modern design.
