{"text": "Suggested Icebreaker: Name one food item that you completely loathe.\nPassage: John 4:4-42\n1. What did you learn or takeaway from this week’s message?\n2. Sadly, most Christians never lead even one soul to Christ. Why is that? How do you think the lost perceive this lack of effort on the part of Christians/the church?\n3. Why would Jesus go out of His way to find a sinful Samaritan woman? Have you ever gone out of your way to lead someone to Christ? If not, what is stopping you?\n4. Why was this woman coming alone to draw water from the well at noon, anyway (typically women would go to draw water together in the mornings while it was cool)? Does it seem odd that she might have been looked down upon as a sinner by other sinners? Do we do the same thing to the lost around us? Do we to do it even to each other?\n5. Application: Why were the disciples surprised that Jesus was talking with this woman instead of supporting Him? How do we get better at supporting & encouraging one another in soul winning instead of holding one another back?\n6. Application: Why did she leave her water pot behind? How do we identify the water pots in our lives and leave them behind?\n5 Comments\nLots of applications from this example of Jesus winning the soul this lost Samaritan woman in John 4. Let’s discuss them and learn how we can all be better soul winners by following Christ’s example. See you at a Life Group this week!\n11 in attendance, great discussion and fellowship.\n5 attended EPIC this week. We had a bible study on 1 Corinthians 6:1-8 and 11:17-22 and examined what Paul was rebuking the Corinthians about as an example of how not to spend your time in church. We also started shooting a video with a salvation message. It will be a production to share with the church.\nWe had 14 attend. Good fellowship, great Bible discussion.\nIt was Mexican Food Night at the “Tree of Life” Group. Great food, good turn out, and interesting discussion on John 4. Frank did a great job leading the discussion questions!\nCommenting has been turned off for this post."}

{"text": "Perl v5.22’s regexes added four Unicode boundaries to go along with the vanilla “word” boundary,\n\\b, that you’ve been using for years. These new assertions aren’t going to match perfectly with your expectations of human languages (the holy grail of natural language processing), but they do okay-ish. Although these appear in v5.22.0, as a late edition to the language they were partially broken in the initial release. They were fixed for v5.22.1.\nRemember that\n\\b in all of its forms is an anchor. It doesn’t match text, but specifies a condition at a position. Since it doesn’t match text, it’s also called a “zero-width assertion”.\nUnicode Technical Standard #18 specifies several things a regular expression engine needs to handle for Unicode comformance. These new boundaries add to Perl’s Unicode regex support.\nSentence Boundaries\nWe don’t have an end-of-sentence character. We use the full stop (.) or other punctuation, but we use those same characters for other things. Unicode Technical Note 29 lays out several heuristic rules for breaking text into sentences; the new\n\\b{sb} codifies those.\nThis program inserts a bit of text wherever Perl matches a sentence boundary:\nuse v5.22.1; $_ = \"See Spot. (Spot is a dog.) See Spot run. RunSpot, run!\"; s/\\b{sb}/#SB#/g; say $_;\nThe string\n#SB# shows up at the guessed sentence boundaries:\n#SB#See Spot. #SB#(Spot is a dog.) #SB#See Spot run. #SB#RunSpot, run!#SB#\nThere are several sentence boundaries:\n- The start of the string\n- The end of the string\n- After closing punctuation and the succeeding whitespace.\nThe guesses aren’t perfect though. Try it with a different string.\nuse v5.22.1; $_ = \"Welcome to U.S.A. Mr. Smith. How are you?\"; s/\\b{sb}/#SB#/g; say $_;\nThis sentence has an abbreviation with full stops to separate the words (\nU.S.A.) and a single word abbreviation (\nMr.). The guessing almost gets it right:\n#SB#Welcome to U.S.A. #SB#Mr. #SB#Smith. #SB#How are you?#SB#\nThe heuristic is smart enough not to break inside a group of uppercase letters separated by full stops. It’s not smart enough to not break after\nMr. though. That’s not a problem with Perl or a problem with Unicode. It’s a problem with natural langauge representation.\nWord Boundaries\nPerl’s “word” boundaries,\n\\b, is a bit of a misnomer that we have to explain carefully in Learning Perl classes. Perl v5.22 adds a somewhat better word boundary,\n\\b{wb}, based on the heuristicis in Unicode Technical Note 29.\nPerl’s idea of a “word” is something that contains only “word” characters. Those are letters, digits, and the underscore. That’s the character class shortcut\n\\w. It’s also locale dependent. And, it’s different for ASCII and the Universal Character Set (perlrecharclass explains it). It’s not what we think of as natural words. For instance, consider the perlfaq4 answer to How do I capitalize all the words on one line? It’s in the FAQ because it’s a common mistake based on people’s mis-using\n\\w:\nuse v5.10; my $string = \"fred and barney's lodge\"; $string =~ s/(\\w+)/\\u\\L$1/g; say $string;\nThis code matches groups of “word” characters and capitalizes them. The\ns after the apostrophe is also capitalized:\nFred And Barney'S Lodge\nNow look for the word boundaries, which are the positions between “word” characters and non-“word” characters:\nuse v5.10; my $string = \"fred and barney's lodge v2.0\"; $string =~ s/\\b/#WB#/g; say $string;\nThere are plenty of boundaries:\n#WB#fred#WB# #WB#and#WB# #WB#barney#WB#'#WB#s#WB# #WB#lodge#WB# #WB#v2#WB#.#WB#0#WB#\nYou see boundaries at:\n- Start of the string (a virtual non-“word” character)\n- End of the string (a virtual non-“word” character)\n- Between numbers and non-{letters|digits|underscore}\n- Between whitespace and letters\nUnicode Technical Note 29 defines some rules to avoid problems such as the apostrophe and decimal points. Try the same thing with the Unicode rules for word boundaries by using\n\\b{wb}:\nuse v5.22.1; my $string = \"fred and barney's lodge v2.0\"; $string =~ s/\\b{wb}/#WB#/g; say $string;\nNow\nbarney's and\nv2.0 are considered complete words:\n#WB#fred#WB# #WB#and#WB# #WB#barney's#WB# #WB#lodge#WB# #WB#v2.0#WB#\nTry it in a different way. Here’s a program to pull out each word. It uses the match operator in scalar context to find text between word boundaries:\nmy $string = \"fred and barney's lodge v2.0\"; while( $string =~ m/\\b(\\w.*?)\\b/g ) { say $1; }\nYou get some words that we don’t think of as words:\nfred and barney s lodge v2 0\nChange those\n\\b to\n\\b{wb}:\nuse v5.22.1; my $string = \"fred and barney's lodge v2.0\"; while( $string =~ m/\\b{wb}(\\w.*?)\\b{wb}/g ) { say $1; }\nNow\nbarney's and\nv2.0 stick together:\nfred and barney's lodge v2.0\nGrapheme Boundaries\nThe regex dot matches any character except the newline. However, in the Unicode world, a “character” isn’t the same thing we think of as a character.\nWe consider the whole concept and representation of an idea of the “character”. The é is a “character” in our human minds, but that’s not how we use the word “character” in the jargon. Speaking casually about these topics often leads to pain and frustration.\nIn the bowels of computers, that single idea é can be constructed of two parts: the base e and the accent ´. Those are U+0065 (LATIN SMALL LETTER E) and U+0301 (COMBINING ACUTE ACCENT). Or, it might be a single part: U+00E9 (LATIN SMALL LETTER E WITH ACUTE). We call those forms the “decomposed” and “composed” version even though they represent the same idea. Some of that is a quirk of history. I write more about that in one of the appendices for Learning Perl.\nEverything that you need to build the complete idea is the “grapheme cluster” (See Treat Unicode strings as grapheme clusters). That’s more akin to what we think of as a written “character”. We probably want to match grapheme clusters and don’t care how they are represented or constructed.\nIf you are trying to break up text, you don’t want to break apart the characters of a grapheme. Instead of matching the dot, you can use the\n\\X introduced in Perl v5.6. That matches an “extended grapheme cluster”, or, in the language of regexes,\n(?>\\PM\\pM*). That’s the sub-pattern that matches a non-mark character followed by zero or more mark characters.\nPerl v5.22.1 goes even further by adding a grapheme cluster boundary,\n\\b{gcb}, that recognizes the position bewteen two grapheme clusters. This is also available as\n\\b{g}. Again, this is probably what we think of as “characters” in casual conversation.\nThis demonstration takes a bit of setup. You have a literal string that has é and ös. These can be composed or decomposed, and to guard against what editors and other translators might do, you use the\nNFD from Unicode::Normalize to ensure you get the decomposed form. With the composed form this won’t work. Then, you break that string apart in a variety of ways:\n#!/Users/brian/bin/perls/perl5.22.1 use v5.22.1; use utf8; use open qw(:std :utf8); use Unicode::Normalize qw(NFD); my $string = NFD( \"The résumé of Ms. Sörensen.\" ); my @dot_chars = $string =~ m/(.)/g; say \" .: \", join ' ', @dot_chars; my @gcb_chars = $string =~ m/(\\X)/g; say \" \\\\X: \", join ' ', @gcb_chars; my @split_chars = split /\\b{gcb}/, $string; say \"split: \", join ' ', @split_chars;\nMatching with the dot distinguishes between the e and the ´ as well as the o and the ¨. It see those as different characters.\nThe\n\\X sees the combination of e and ´ as a single grapheme cluster and keeps them together. Splitting on the\n\\b{gcb} also keeps the characters in their proper clusters:\n.: T h e r e ́ s u m e ́ o f M s . S o ̈ r e n s e n . \\X: T h e r é s u m é o f M s . S ö r e n s e n . split: T h e r é s u m é o f M s . S ö r e n s e n .\nNow, consider this example that reverses the order of the matched elements before it prints them:\nuse v5.22.1; use utf8; use open qw(:std :utf8); use Unicode::Normalize qw(NFD); my $string = NFD( \"The résumé of Ms. Sörensen.\" ); my @dot_chars = $string =~ m/(.)/g; say \" .: \", join '', reverse @dot_chars; my @split_chars = split /\\b{gcb}/, $string; say \"split: \", join '', reverse @split_chars;\nYou can easily see the problem of pulling apart grapheme clusters as the accent characters now attach to the wrong characters. Splitting on the grapheme cluster boundary gets it right:\n.: .nesner̈oS .sM fo ́emuśer ehT split: .nesneröS .sM fo émusér ehT\nThings to Remember\n- Perl v5.22 expands the word boundary for particular types with the\n\\b{}\n- The\n\\b{sb}matches a sentence boundary.\n- The\n\\b{wb}matches an improved word boundary.\n- The\n\\b{gcb}matches at a grapheme cluster boundary."}

{"text": "\nHacker News is kind of the opposite of Twitter and I love it.\n«Diagnostic criteria for anxiety and depression are very broad because they are necessary as tools for practicing doctors seeing patients (as opposed to applying them to a random selection of people). If you turn the process back, and just ask how many people in the population fit under them, you’ll always, even in normal times, get an unexpectedly large number. That doesn’t imply that anything is wrong or that anything needs to be done about it, doctors don’t use them like that. This is approximately the same phenomenon that causes medical students to self-diagnose themselves with every disease they learn about: one of the fundamental factors missing from such a diagnosis is that they haven’t walked into a clinic. It’s not a bug in the diagnostic criteria, it’s just a misapplication of them.\nOne of the main ways of fighting over-diagnosis is to not apply diagnostic criteria for every known condition to random people who you have no a priori reason to suspect they might have those conditions.»"}

{"text": "Nitric oxide has become very popular supplement, but before you start using it, make sure to get the info on nitric oxide side effects. Bodybuilders often use this dietary supplement in order to increase muscle blood flow.\nNitric Oxide Side Effects\nNitric oxide usually produces several changes, like considerable gain in muscle mass, quicker recovery and strength increase. That happens because body arteries get wider, blood flow increases which results in providing more oxygen and nutrients to body muscles.\nIn that way muscles become firmer and stronger. But in despite of all the positive sides of nitric oxide, you should get to know the side effects, too. Some of the most common side effects when using NO are nausea and mild headaches to migraines. Some bodybuilders have felt weakness as well as diarrhea issues.\nThere were even collapse cases after starting consuming nitric oxide. Some of the common side effects are sudden changes in heart beat, dry mouth and irritation of skin. Sometimes the body can keep certain supplies of water that are not actually needed. Nitric oxide side effects can be real dangerous if Nitric oxide is taken in large amounts. That can lead to breathing problems, vomiting, itching, possible asthma etc. The worst thing about collapse is that you never know when and where it will happen. You can simply collapse and fall from height, so it can turn fatal. Keep in mind that these side effects can be quite unpredictable. A collapse can happen anytime and anywhere.\nThose can be followed by an increased sweating right after taking this dietary supplement. You should be aware that there could be serious health problems. In some cases, there can be sudden blood pressure changes and it can result in death (due to extremely low blood pressure). Most people believe that high blood pressure is more dangerous than low blood pressure. This is wrong. High blood pressure, also known as hypertension, can cause severe damage to the cardiovascular system, and it can lead to death, but low blood pressure is equally dangerous. This is called “hypotension”. It can result in death, as well. Some people naturally have lower blood pressure (than normal), so if you belong to this group, you should not use nitric oxide or any other similar supplement.\nAccording to some studies, 13% of bodybuilders using nitric oxide have had hypotension. Also pay attention to any symptom of hyperglycemia. Even after getting to know these nitric oxide side effects, don’t be afraid to ask for an expert opinion if you have any of the symptoms mentioned above. Athletes often believe that “it won’t happen to them”, mostly because they are aware of the fact that they are in good shape. However, your body strength has nothing to do with this. Therefore, you should be very careful. It is not enough to talk to another athlete about this. Different people have different reactions, so you should definitely talk to your doctor. If you have ever had any health problems, make sure to consult your doctor about any supplement.\nRelated Post:\nNitric Oxide Side Effects\nI agree! And I am LMAO, too!"}

{"text": "Many of the newest weapons in the war on cancer come in the form of targeted therapies. These drugs disrupt molecular processes in tumor cells and, as a result, keep the tumor from growing and spreading.\nIn order to develop targeted therapies, scientists need to understand the activities these drugs disturb. If a compound seems to shrink tumors, for example, they need to define what’s going on inside the cells to produce that result.\nBinghamton University researchers are helping to advance this work, which may pave the way for better cancer treatments.\nTracking an enzyme\nSusan Bane, professor of organic and biological chemistry, and Susannah Gal, associate professor of biological sciences, deploy a novel tool in their study of an enzyme called tubulin tyrosine ligase, or TTL. Many cancer cells contain less-than-normal levels of this substance.\nBane and Gal are conducting their project with funding from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences. Their work focuses on microtubules, structures that provide part of the scaffolding that gives a cell its structure and also help chromosomes line up correctly during mitosis, or cell division.\nMicrotubules are made of proteins called tubulin., Bane says. , allowing the researchers to observe those molecules in action under a fluorescent microscope. The technique will help them explore questions such as what conditions allow tyrosine to reattach to tubulin and what conditions keep that from happening.\nMarking tubulin isn’t easy. Most fluorescent markers will bond with any protein in a cell; they don’t distinguish between tubulin and other protein molecules. To mark just the tubulin, Bane and Gal essentially put a “hat” on that protein and then add a marker to that.\nThe hat is a special derivative of tyrosine that Bane created for the project. The researchers introduce this tyrosine derivative into a cell. They then add a fluorescent molecule that lights up when it bonds with the special tyrosine, but not with any other substance. In effect, they pin a glowing badge to the tyrosine hat.\nTTL in the cell may pick up that hat and clamp it on the “head” of a tubulin molecule. Once the tubulin is wearing its luminous headgear, the researchers can tell it apart it from other objects in the cell and watch how it behaves.\nOther methods exist for adding a fluorescent marker to a protein in a cell. The most common technique, using a fluorescent protein, presents certain disadvantages, says Dan Sackett, a biophysical cell biologist at the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development.\n“The down side is that it’s a very large molecule, as big as the protein we’re trying to track,” says Sackett, who collaborates with Bane and Gal on their project. The marker may actually block the observer’s view of the protein under study.\nThe new technique, using a smaller molecule, provides an easier way to watch the behavior of microtubules as cells divide, Sackett says. “And since a lot of anti-cancer drugs target the mitotic spindle — the array of microtubules that moves chromosomes apart at mitosis — being able to observe that easily in multiple cell types is really an advantage.”\nCancer cells are often undergoing mitosis at a much faster rate than normal cells, making cell division.’”\nCan painkillers kill cancer cells?\nWhile Bane and Gal focus on microtubules, Yulong Chen strives to understand the role that opioids might play in cancer therapies. His work hinges on the fact that an opioid — the key ingredient in painkillers such as morphine — can block a crucial reaction in certain cancer cells.\nChen, an assistant professor of biology at Binghamton, investigates how the transmission of chemical signals within cells turns genes on and off. Most of his research focuses on neurons, the cells that make up the nervous system. Some neurons have something interesting in common with certain cancer cells: They both carry molecules called opioid receptors that send signals into the cell when they touch opioid molecules.\nIn the nervous system, that signal blocks the sensation of pain. Unfortunately, the reaction also may cause side effects such as respiratory depression and constipation, and it may cause opiate addiction.\nIn a cancer cell, contact with an opioid may cause either of two reactions: Sometimes, an opioid kills cancer cells; sometimes, it stimulates tumor growth.\nSince doctors often give opiates to cancer patients, it’s crucial to know what effect a painkiller might have on the cancer. “If the opioid will stimulate cancer cell growth, that’s a big problem,” Chen says.\nBefore joining Binghamton’s faculty in 2007, Chen worked in the Department of Pharmacology at the University of Minnesota Medical School. There, he identified an opioid antagonist compound that kills small cell lung cancer. It does this by blocking the transmission of a signal that is crucial for cell survival.\nHe also found that this compound doesn’t always produce the same results. When Chen introduced the same opioid antagonist to cells taken from three different individuals with small cell lung cancer, the compound killed 20 to 30 percent of the cells in one sample, 40 to 50 percent in the second and 90 percent in the third.\nThe difference depended on the strength of a reaction called phosphorylation at the critical survival molecule Akt when the compound binds to a molecule at the cancer cell surface. “Our study shows that if the level of phosphorylation at Akt is high, then you block the pathway using this compound, and the cancer cell dies,” Chen says. “If the level of phosphorylation at Akt is not so high, the cell doesn’t respond well when you block it.” Different phosphorylation levels in different cancer cells from different individuals show a stronger or weaker reaction to the opioid antagonist.\n“This observation,” Chen says, “also provides one more reason for personalized medicine in cancer treatment.”\nChen’s study has enhanced scientific understanding of how an opioid may kill cancer, says Kalpna Gupta, assistant professor in the Department of Medicine at the University of Minnesota. It’s significant that Chen focuses on how opioids may kill cancer cells, rather than on how they may promote cell growth, as earlier researchers have done, she says.\n“This is more appropriate, from a therapeutic point of view,” says Gupta, who studies opioid-mediated cancer-cell growth. “That is why his study is very important. It not only provides a basic understanding, but an understanding of — once the monster is there — how do we get rid of it?”\nSince coming to Binghamton, Chen has been laying plans to further explore the mechanism that allows an opioid to kill cancer cells. “I still don’t know what molecule it’s targeting,” he says. His next goal is to identify the key receptor on the cancer cell. “If I can identify this molecule,” he says, “then I can study whether it’s valid as a target for an anti-cancer drug.”\nIn the long run, Chen’s research on molecular signals in neurons and his research on cancer cells may lead toward a common goal. He hopes to find an opioid that reduces pain in cancer patients, doesn’t cause side effects or addiction and kills tumors.\n“If the compound that we develop to kill the cancer cells also can block drug tolerance and dependence, that will be one drug that does two things,” Chen says. “That would be wonderful.”\nThe scientist becomes a patient\nSusannah Gal’s work on cancer cell biology provided a special perspective after she was diagnosed with breast cancer in May 2009.\nGal wondered about the genetics of her tumor and how that profile helped her doctors determine her treatment. “I called the company that tested the tumor and asked them to give me a list of the genes,” she says. “I recognized a bunch of them.”\nBefore her surgery, Gal arranged to send the tumor to a repository where other scientists could access it for research. She wanted to obtain some of the cells herself, but she didn’t have time to go through the necessary protocols before her operation.\nIn the future, though, Gal may put in a request and take advantage of the chance to study the cells that attacked her body. “I was working with breast cancer cells before I got breast cancer,” she says. “So I’m interested, potentially, in bringing my cells back into the lab.”\nGlossary\nAmino acid: A set of 20 molecules used to build proteins.

{"text": "It's an unfortunate but inescapable fact that many British homes fall prey to damp. Damp damage doesn't just look unpleasant. It can literally ruin years of the most careful property maintenance and decorating. And, somewhat worryingly, it can contribute to serious structural damage. But, perhaps more worrying than all of these issues: damp is often a danger to health, making it an absolute priority to establish what kind of damp you have and how best to treat it to eradicate the problem.\nRising Damp\nRising damp happens once water is soaked up via a building's brickwork, bypassing wherever the damp-proof course ought to be. This might simply be as a result of faulty damp proofing; or it may be as a result of having no damp–proof course in place at all (sadly, common in older buildings). Rising damp in a property is fairly easy to spot – it can be as obvious as a 'tide mark' on the external masonry.\nPenetrating Damp\nPenetrating damp happens once wetness soaks through the outer masonry, eventually reaching the interior gypsum layer. You will see damaged wallpaper which is peeling off, or obvious plaster bubbles. You might even spot mould growing on the inner surfaces. This may merely be the result of constant wind and driving rain attacking an exceedingly weather–exposed property. However, it can also be the result of defects within the roof line or the brickwork. Click here to find out how best to manage your property's maintenance by managing the threat of damp occurring from driving rain. If the property suffers from penetrating damp and has previously been treated with wall insulation then there's a risk that the wall insulation could become wet. If the wall becomes wet, drying it out can prove to be an immense task, which in all probability, will lead to the need for it to be removed completely.\nCondensation\nCondensation is frequently experienced by property owners. Put simply, it happens when a building has insufficient ventilation to deal with excess moisture.\nIn most cases, we'd recommend a professional property survey to identify the scale of the problem – a company specialising in moisture problems or, if you suspect wall insulation damage, a cavity wall insulation removal specialist."}

{"text": "Dear Fountain Theatre,\nJust wanted you to know my friends and I were astonished at the wonderment of the play, In the Red and Brown Water. It was exhilarating and haunting at the same time. The ensemble did not “perform”. They were an in-the-moment reality.\nThe Fountain can always be counted on to entertain, educate, and explore the human condition in a way no other theater in town can match. In the Red and Brown Water is another proud achievement for the Fountain Theatre.\nMy friends and I were all teachers. One was a professor at Cal State Northridge (CSUN). Another taught middle school and I taught high school. We have all experienced using mythology in the classroom because, hard to believe, students can actually relate to that genre. Well, obviously, so can adults. I taught Theater Arts and have presented plays, once in a while, where the actors actually include the stage directions in the dialogue. Usually have done this when the plays are performed for youngsters. The playwright (McCranney) used this technique in a way that did the same thing for adults. It was a wonderful way to show that the actors were both “part of a tale” and “telling a tale”.\nIt was a WOW of an evening! Not soon forgotten. Good to see you….and, of course, wishing you well as do all your fans.\n– Joan Martin\nIn the Red and Brown Water Now – Dec 16 (323) 663-1525 More"}

{"text": "AUGUSTA — Madison had handled Mt. Abram twice already this season, and it was clear early Tuesday afternoon that this was a different Mt. Abram team.\nBut while the Roadrunners were clearly improved, Madison still has a deep well of players to turn to for the big shot. This time, it was junior guard Cristie Vicneire, whose clutch shooting in the third quarter spiked Mt. Abram’s rally and enabled the Bulldogs to hold on for a 50-42 victory in a Western C quarterfinal at the Augusta Civic Center.\n“When she gets a good look at the basket, she’s a good shooter, and she came up big,” Madison coach Al Veneziano said. “I was very pleased with her effort tonight.”\nNo. 2 Madison (16-3) takes on No. 3 Old Orchard Beach in the semifinals at 2:30 p.m., Thursday, at the Civic Center. Mt. Abram, the No. 7 seed, finishes at 10-10. It was the last game for Roadrunners coach Doug Lisherness, who won two state titles at the Salem Township school.\nEach team shot six for 29 from the field in the first half, but Madison held a 22-17 lead because of Mt. Abram’s foul trouble.\n“We missed some bunnies there in that first half, and (were) fouling way too much,” Lisherness said. “We did better on our defense in the second half, as far as not fouling goes.”\nVicneire led Madison with seven points in the first half, and continued to shoot well after the break. Madison’s Sam Bruce (10 points) and Kirsten Wood (12) picked up teh scoring in the fourth quarter.\n“I think you’ve come this far, you’ve got to just keep putting the ball up,” Veneziano said. “We tried to do a little bit more driving and dishing the ball, and tried to get a little bit more involved. We looked at ball movement, and getting good shots. I thought we got pretty decent shots the whole time.”\nMt. Abram ran off seven straight points to start the second half, and Miranda Smith had nine of her game-high 18 points in the third quarter. But two calls on Smith didn’t sit well with Lisherness or the Mt. Abram fans.\nLate in the third quarter, Smith dribbled and banked in a shot on the run that would have given the Roadrunners a 30-29 lead. The whistle blew after contact, but it was because Smith was called for traveling. A few seconds later, Vicneire drained a 3-pointer, and Madison led by four points.\n“The referee who was not in position made the call,” Lisherness said. “David Gray’s standing right here on Miranda’s call, and the referee way out back called her for traveling.”\nWith 6:45 left in the game, Smith was whistled for her fourth foul while jockeying for position in the post. Lisherness disagreed with this call as well, and not only did Madison run off four straight points to take a 39-32, but the Bulldogs smartly took full advantage of the situation. Wood, especially, drove the lane and scored inside while Smith had to avoid contact.\nMadison led 41-40, then got some space at 45-40 when Veneziano called timeout with 2:03 left. The Bulldogs played keep-away and made five of six from the line to seal the win.\n“Madison’s a well-balanced team, a well-coached team, and someone’s going to have to put in a good game to beat them,” Lisherness said. “We put in a good game, but I guess not quite good enough.”\nMatt DiFilippo — 861-9243"}

At the time, the FDA requested data to support the shelf-life of the disposable parts of Inovio’s Cellectra electroporation device.\nInovio plans to evaluate the efficacy of VGX-3100, its first immunotherapy, in regressing cervical high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions – a direct precursor to vervical cancer – and its ability to eliminate the HPV infection that causes the lesions. Data from the pivotal trial will support the potential licensure of VGX-3100 as the 1st immunotherapy for this disease, according to Inovio.\nThe company’s plasmid DNA immunotherapy is injected intramuscularly, followed by electroporation using Inovio’s Cellectra delivery device.

{"text": "Every pastor encounters people who have given up, or are tempted to give up, meeting together with God’s people. At any given time just about every church has some people who are in danger of drifting away, and no longer participating in the life of the church. To do so is to directly disobey.” This passage warns us not to neglect local church fellowship and participation, and also hints at the reasons we may do so.\nHere are two reasons you may be tempted to neglect meeting together with God’s people.\nYou Forget What You Bring\nHebrews 10:25 warns Christians against leaving local church fellowship, and the verse immediately prior gives the reason. As Christians, we all equally bear the responsibility to stir up one another to love and good works. We are to provoke one another to act in love and we are to provoke one another to promote good works. And the simple fact is that we cannot do these things if we are not together.\nIn the background of the book of Hebrews is the New Testament teaching that we, as Christians, are like a body—Christ’s body. In Romans 12 Paul says, “For as in one body we have many members, and the members do not all have the same function, so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another.” In some way God looks upon Christians just like we look upon the many parts of one body—many parts, but one person. In some way God looks upon the local church as many parts but one body. Paul explains the same theme in 1 Corinthians and in both of these passages he draws the same application—that just as each part of the body has an important function, each Christian has an important gift. Just as each part of the body makes the body function well and as a whole, each Christian’s gift is meant to make the church function well and as a whole. There are no superfluous body parts, and there are no superfluous Christians.\nWhen you are tempted to disassociate from the local church, whether permanently or semi-permanently or even for a lazy Sunday where you just can’t be bothered, you have forgotten what you bring to the people of your church. You have neglected to understand or believe that you, yes you!, are a crucial part of the body of Christ. You have a gift to bring, and the church is only complete when you bring it and use it.\nGod has made you part of the body, and the body needs you to function well. When you neglect to meet with God’s people, you deny them the gifts he has given you—gifts that bring him glory when you use them for the good of others.\nYou Forget What You Need\nIf it is true that God has gifted you to be a part of the whole, there is an important implication: God has gifted them as well. You are incomplete without your church. God has not so gifted you of all people that you can thrive and grow without the gifts he has given to others. You are part of the body, but only a small and singular part of it. Unless you can imagine your thumb striking off on its own and building a life for itself, or unless you can imagine your appendix seceding from the body and thriving, you shouldn’t imagine yourself leaving local church fellowship.\nIn this way neglecting to meet with God’s people is a sign of overwhelming and outrageous pride. You have somehow determined either that the gifts God has given others are of no real consequence to you, or you have determined that you are so gifted that you can happily survive without. The reality, of course, is that God has made Christians to thrive and survive only in community. Lone Christians are dead Christians.\nGod has made you part of a body, and you need the rest of that body to function well. When you neglect to meet with God’s people, you deny yourself the gifts he has given them—gifts that bring him glory when they use them for your good.\nIn those times where it just seems to hard to be part of a local church, and in those times where neglecting the church seems so attractive, you are forgetting what you bring and what you need. Of course you’ve also neglected to consider how badly you need the preaching of God’s Word and the celebration of the Lord’s Supper and the witnessing of baptisms and the other beautifully ordinary means of grace that God dispenses through his gathered church. But first you’ve forgotten that you are part of a body—a body you need, and a body that needs you."}

{"text": "► ’s newest firearms, ammo and optics are here!\nBy NRA Staff (RSS)\nJune 02, 2009\nThe staff of your NRA tapped its vast collection of contacts in the shooting industry to bring the latest firearms, ammunition and optics to your fingertips. Looking for a rifle or shotgun, a new scope, a high-performance cartridge or maybe a high-speed handgun? You’ll find it here. Naturally, we’ll fully evaluate many of these products in “Hardware” in the coming months. But if you want to see them in person, go to Phoenix May 14-17 for the 2009 NRA Annual Meetings & Exhibits. It’s the year’s biggest celebration of our country’s Second Amendment freedom. We’ll see you there!\nARMALITE'S AR-10(T) is now available in .338 Federal. ArmaLite and Federal Cartridge worked hand-in-hand to ensure the rifle and ammunition are perfectly matched. The one-piece aluminum handguard has multiple mounting points for shooting accessories. Accuracy is enhanced by a triple-lapped 22-inch stainless steel barrel and a two-stage trigger. New chamberings are available for ArmaLite’s M15A4 Carbine, including 7.62x39mm and 6.8 Remington SPC.\nBARRETT MFG. has an all-new rifle available and, no, it’s not a .50 BMG. It’s the bolt-action 98 Bravo. Chambered in .338 Lapua Mag., it feeds from a detachable 10-round box magazine and is innovative in its use of polymer for the guide/sleeve and handle.\nBENELLI has already improved its new speed racer, the SuperSport, a shotgun designed for sporting clays. The 12-gauge is backbored to .733 inch to reduce backpressure and it’s fitted with Briley’s EX bolt release mechanism and an enlarged bolt handle. Benelli’s Cordoba is available with similar upgrades. Benelliis tight-lipped about a new shotgun it calls the Vinci. We’ll update you when the gun is officially released.\nBERETTA introduces sporting versions of its notable SV10 Perennia over/under and UGB25 Xcel break-open, recoil-reducing, semi-auto shotgun. Perhaps its biggest news is the receipt of a $220 million U.S. Army contract to provide up to 450,000 Beretta Model 92FS pistols to U.S. military customers worldwide.\nBROWNING has a new 12-gauge, 3-inch and 31/2-inch auto-loading shotgun, the Maxus, which is all about the numbers: 18 percent less felt recoil; 44 percent less muzzle jump; 19 percent faster bolt speed and 24 percent faster lock time. With a synthetic stock and aluminum receiver, the gun weighs less than 7 pounds. Its all-new Power Drive gas system is sealed against the elements and functions reliably with light and heavy loads. And for a limited time, you can purchase one of Browning’s compact shotguns and be eligibile to buy a full-size stock later at 50 percent off. Called the Growth Insurance Program, it applies to the Micro BT-99, Silver Micro Sporting, BPS Micro Trap and Micro Field.\nBUSHMASTER offers an intriguing new gas-piston system of operation for the AR-pattern rifle. Available as a complete rifle in its Gas Piston Rifle or as a kit in its Gas Piston Retrofit Conversion Kit, the short-stroke system employs an easily removable hard chrome-plated piston. The rifle is an M4-style carbine with a removable carry handle and flip-up front sight assembly on the gas block.\nCROSMAN offers the Marauder pre-charged, pneumatic youth air rifle with an auto-indexing, circular 10-round magazine, hardwood stock and adjustable match-grade trigger.\nEnter your comments below, they will appear within 24 hours\nName\nComment"}

{"text": "TASTING. It is as natural as breathing. We don’t have to learn how to taste. It just happens.\nOr does it?\nAs a physiological process, taste happens all on its own. We can enhance the intensity of the taste experience by slowly and mindfully chewing our food. Swishing food or drink around to coat the inside of the mouth increases our exposure to a broader spectrum of taste components. And taking in air and exhaling through the nose unlocks volatile aromatics that enhance the taste experience even more.\nInhaling the aroma of food or drink before tasting heightens our anticipation. Our mood and surroundings come into play. A catalog of memories built over a lifetime of tasting plays a key role in how we react to food. As with Anton Ego, the grim restaurant critic in Disney’s animated film Ratatouille, tapping into a long-buried food memory can deeply affect whether we love or despise a meal.\nWhen we try to describe the flavor of food, we enter into another level of experience. Finding the words to describe a taste or aroma can frustrate the novice taster. Take heart. With practice you can build a vocabulary and a level of attention that will increase your ability to perceive and recognize flavors."}

{"text": "Bytecoin [BCN] has been swirling the entire market since the last few days with ransacked price surges and going out of order due to overload after being listed on the world’s largest trading platform, Binance. All transactions and trading activities were halted right after Bytecoin shot up by 166% and more in price as the Binance announcement came into light. A few hours right after this, everything froze on Poloniex, HitBTC, Binance and even Coinmarketcap which could not display live price details or any other details about Bytecoin. The official team of Bytecoin announced that a bug caused all the inconvenience in the market.\nAfter 2 days, everything is falling back to place and the exchanges are recovering themselves, fixing the network and trading issues with Bytecoin. Binance was the first to announce the fix a day ago but users continued to complain about errors in the same and the team at Binance has not yet updated anything regarding the same. Also, Coinmarketcap returned to normal after the errors being fixed with Bytecoin. Poloniex Exchange announced the resolution last night and claim that all trade activities have returned to normal.\nBytecoin team tweeted:\n“Dear Community!\n#Bytecoin Deposits and Withdrawals are now available on @Poloniex! We have tested transactions ourselves and they worked. We have been in discussion with the @Poloniex developers and they have told us that everything is working normally. I would be patient and your transactions should appear shortly.”\nAdding on:\n“We have just heard from the\n@Poloniex team and they have told us that the deposits and withdrawals are back online. We have tested a transaction ourselves and everything was ok. I would be patient as I am sure your funds will arrive as their team finishes going through the log.”\nThe team also mentioned the errors on HitBTC regarding the same and they tweeted saying:\n“Dear Community.\n#HitBTC Deposits are currently unavailable! @hitbtc has informed us that it will take a few days to restore. Withdrawals are only available in general mode.”\nFurther, Cryptonator accounts were also disabled during the network fix and upgrade as they announced last night that the relaunch is postponed for another 24 hours because of installation issues. However, they declared within a few hours saying:\n“There is good news and there are bad ones. Good: Bytecoin is up and running. Bad: This is all new software which commands are not compatible with our engine designed for the previous Bytecoin version. This probably means another day or two of development and thorough testing.”\nTwo days ago with the gigantic price increment, Bytecoin [BCN] had grabbed the 15th spot from way below in the table and is now standing at the 18th position with $1.59 billion market cap. The prices have dipped again from $0.01 to currently at $0.009, being a victim of the market downfall with a 24% and more decrement within the last 24 hours.\nThe post Bytecoin [BCN] active on Poloniex and Binance as HitBTC is still in the recovery phase appeared first on AMBCrypto."}

{"text": "Profile\nPhotos\nVideos\nI've returned to Albuquerque from the big all-English Language Fellow orientation in D.C. The best parts of it for me were literally seeing that I'm part of a sizeable world-wide 'mission' of some significance, and meeting/beginning to form a connection with at least some of the other Indonesia ELFs.It's frustrating that we will only see each other a couple times after Jakarta; there are at least a couple whom I'd like to get to know better.I did not get to meet the storied George Scholz, our Regional English Language Officer, but did meet his assistant Dian, who is just as 'on top of' things as I'd heard, and an extremely nice person as well. Seeing her 'in action' has made me feel more assured that if any unexpected situations come up for me this next year, I'll have the support I need.\nI also learned that Hillary Clinton is my boss, ultimately, though she won't even be aware of my existence.Maybe I can get my students to write letters to her trying to persuade her to include Palembang in any visit she might make to Indonesia?\nOne big surprise was finding a colleague and friend from Yemen and Oregon State University, Rick Finnan, attending as a new ELF to Turkey.I'd had no idea he'd applied.\nThe week was divided into whole-group and smaller-group sessions ( mostly by region ) - the larger ones being devoted, unavoidably I suppose, to protocol and bureaucratic-detailpresentations, largely pro forma.Returning ELFs led the smaller-group sessions, mostly; some seemed better prepared than others.One of those sessions was devoted to use of the DVD-based course \"Shaping the Way We Teach English\", developed by some of my colleagues at the American English Institute at the University of Oregon.Everyone seemed impressed by the quality of the course, though until we're there it's hard to know how much of it will be applicable in each situation ( except for our own enlightenment ).All there was time for was to get everyone to look quickly through the manual that comes with the course.At least we all have a copy of our own. I know I'll be using it a lot, since I'm teaching ongoing teacher training classes as well as workshops.\nOverall, the week did not change my expectations about what my life and work as an ELF will be like, what to bring, etc.Partly that's because I'd been researching and reading so much on my own ( including several blogs by last year's ELFs ), and partly it's because a few recent ELFs are my colleagues and friends and have talked with me for hours about their own experiences. Many of the other new ELFs had heard from no one in the countries they're going to, had no idea about the details of their teaching assignments or living conditions or local cultural expectations, and did seem to get a lot of new information from the presentations.\nMy next entry will be from Jakarta.I'm as ready as I can be, I think. But....I'm still waiting for my visa, which seems to be in Post Office limbo. Already I know I'll be at least one day behind most of the other ELFs in arriving in Jakarta.\nRossy.

Also, I've been in grad school for a long time, and will probably still be in grad school for another year. I'm not expecting to make a million, but any little bit helps.\nSo far I'm working on posting left overs from our sales here at ECU.

(Let's be serious, it's not really a line. I just like to buy gemstone beads.) These are really simple and pretty and, priced at $22, are really affordable.\nNow that the electroformer is fixed, I can try and really develop a more wearable, production version of my art pieces.

{"text": "Are you a party girl? A coke whore? Do you think it’s fun to flash your boobs at the drop of a hat? A professional slut? If you are any of these things, you’re disgusting, vile and you will never ever get married. No one wants your slutty, coke whoring ways, you guys.\nSigh.\nSome offensive website called EliteDaily has everything figured out when it comes to who’s getting married and who isn’t. And I can tell you right now, the aforementioned groups of women will not be walking down the aisle anytime soon or, more accurately, ever.\nWhen I stumbled across the article entitled The Girls Who Are Never Getting Married that someone had posted on Facebook, I originally thought it absolutely had to be a joke. The girls, of which the writer (who’s a woman named Ally Batista) covers, seem to be the lowest of the low, at least in her opinion, and are the very type of women who will never find a man to love them. Of course, we can thank social media for this, because, according to Batista:\nWith each passing day we see the institution of marriage and a promising relationship becoming a distant memory. Females are so caught up in the party lifestyle that they’re forgetting that one day no one is going to actually want them when it matters.\nWith social networking sites tracking and documenting your every move, these girls are screwed and most likely never getting married.\nShe then proceeds to list women who fall into these specific categories.\nCoke Whores.\nYes, you’re beautiful and a size zero but that’s because you only drink Diet Coke, Grey Goose, and snort cocaine. You frequent clubs in the hopes that you’ll find a table of wealthy young business men willing to let you have as much of their drugs as possible, as long as you give them something in return.\nModels.\nThese girls are emotionally unstable, almost definitely have an eating disorder of some sort, and are willing to do anything to get jobs or keep their size -0 figure.\nEDM Girls.\nThis fucking girl. This girl could actually fall under the ‘Coke Whore’ category because she also whores herself out for drugs.\nBatista then proceeds to pass judgement on Video Vixens, The Princess and The Liar — each time dropping the words “bitch,” “slut,” and “whore.”\nIf it’s satire, I’ve missed it. If this is really how Batista feels about the women of her generation then, well, that sucks and she’s really making herself look like an asshole who has some serious issues with her gender. But like I said, maybe it’s a form of satire I’ve missed, or maybe she needs a lesson in what satire is supposed to be?\nPhoto: YouTube"}

{"text": "Young woman connects to culture through dance\nOn Friday nights Prince Albert Women of the Earth is alive with activity - with the clatter of sewing machines young women are bringing together fabric and culture.\nOn Friday nights Prince Albert Women of the Earth is alive with activity - with the clatter of sewing machines young women are bringing together fabric and culture.\n\"Five girls, on a Friday night, that's phenomenal!\" said Marlene Bear, who runs the organization and is a liaison at St. Mary High School. She would rather see them at P.A. Women of the Earth than getting into trouble.\nOne of the girls hard at work is Justine Antoine. She arrived more than a year ago with her kokum (grandmother) to learn to sew and to learn a little more about her Cree culture. Her kokum has moved on to new projects, but Antoine hasn't looked back.\n\"I'm just trying to learn everything I can. I'm even trying to lean Cree,\" she said. Most of the girls are learning to make starblankets or earrings from Leo Fred, who teaches everything from dance and drumming to hide tanning to people wanting to reconnect with their culture.\nOn Friday, Oct. 10, Antoine's focus is different - she is trying to complete her regalia in time for the Thanksgiving powwow.\nAntoine began dancing when she was 10 years old for a couple of years. In that short time she was selected to represent her people from the Poundmaker First Nation as a powwow princess. Soon after, her family wasn't able to continue supporting her dancing so she stopped until she arrived at St. Mary High School.\nOn her first day Bear found her, asked her if she danced and signed up Antoine with the St. Mary's dancers.\nNow, along with powwow dancing and jigging, Antoine is involved with Student Leadership Council, curling, the Prince Albert youth travel club, as well as taking five classes including band where she plays the saxophone.\nLearning about her culture is of growing importance in Antoine's life. Her love of powwow dance makes Bear happy.\n\"It keeps them out of trouble,\" Bear said about why she tries to get so many girls involved with dance, \"That's one of the things about powwow dancing - you have to keep clean.\"\nFred says being involved with the culture of powwow dancing has to be a lifestyle choice - a dancer can't just dance and the rest of the time \"monkey around.\"\n\"If you want to be a dancer there's no booze or drugs. You have to be real,\" said Fred.\n\"You want to be a role model for everybody and they are starting to see (Antoine) as one.\"\nFred saw that Antoine had a genuine interest in learning to dance, so he took her under his wing.\n\"He's been like a dad to me,\" said Antoine.\n\"She trusts me and I trust her and I tell her don't ever break that trust and I won't ever break that trust,\" said Fred.\nHe walked her through making her first regalia, a purple jingle dress - an outfit that should have 365 jingles on it representing the days of the year. Antoine's first dress only has half the number of conical jingles but it already weighs more than five pounds.\nJingle dancing is one of three main categories for women at most powwows - the other two are traditional and fancy dancing. Antoine wants to learn to be a fancy dancer but is happy competing as a jingle dancer at the Thanksgiving powwow.\n\"I think of it as rain because (the jingle dress) makes the sound of rain,\" said Antoine.\nThe new dress that she is working on is to represent the name she was given - Spotted-Eagle Woman. It has bright fabric in triangles sewn on a white dress in the shape of an eagle.\nIn competitive jingle dancing, the flashier the dress, the more likely it is to catch the attention of the judge. The dress will be trimmed with a florescent pink fringe and the jingles will be put on in pairs.\nAntoine didn't begin this journey as the sole student, but other girls who were making regalia have dropped out over the past year. Her unwavering desire to learn sets Antoine apart from her peers.\n\"It makes me different because I don't see other students here and trying to learn ... They just don't want to because they don't think it's cool, especially the guys,\" she said.\nFred has also seen youth struggle with staying interested in their culture background in the face of Hollywood movies and television.\n\"Our culture is so lost, especially in town,\" said Fred.\nFred saw that Antoine was really trying.\n\"I see there is something special about her.\"\nIt hasn't been easy to be different and Antoine has thought about quitting numerous times.\n\"At first, I was like, why am I still doing this when no one else is. It got me frustrated at first, but after a while I thought 'it makes me different' and gives me something to do on the side,\" said Antoine.\nDespite the best intentions of Fred and Antoine, the new dress was not completed in time for the grand entry of the 10th annual Thanksgiving powwow in Prince Albert. So she began competing in her old dress. Although disappointed Antoine was glad to be dancing and visiting with her \"powwow family.\"\n\"The best thing about powwows is seeing people you haven't seen in a while,\" said Antoine.\nShe alternated between visiting her friend Jennifer McGillivary, 15, a fancy dancer from Muskeg Lake, and her kokum, Rosanne Antoine, who came out to support her.\n\"(Dancing) keeps her occupied and she's meeting a lot of people ... it's good for her,\" said Rosanne.\nRosanne is grateful that Fred has been able to teach Antoine about dancing and for the work he put into her jingle dresses.\nFred arrived with the new dress just before the competitions on Monday, the last day of the powwow. Antoine disappeared to change before allowing Fred to pin the feathers into her hair before performing.\nLooking a little more regal, standing a little straighter and dancing a little better, Antoine caught the attention of the judges, earning more points on the last day. Antoine didn't win at the Thanksgiving powwow, but said it was OK because she was able to learn a little more - like she does at most powwows.\n\"It's only my first year, so maybe I'll do better next year,\" said Antoine, \"Leo says he's going to turn me into a champion.\"\nahill@paherald.sk.ca\nRecent comments\nI loves it"}

{"text": "LONDON MAYOR BORIS JOHNSON - THAMES AIRPORT OR STANSTED EXPANSION?\nNovember 2012: With all eyes on the forthcoming review of the UK's airport capacity, London's Mayor, Boris Johnson has recently appointed Daniel Moylan as his full-time aviation policy advisor.\nPrivateFly's CEO Adam Twidell talks to Moylan about the Mayor's call for a new hub airport and discusses the options for its location; BA's opposition to the plans; and what will happen to Heathrow...\nBefore becoming the Mayor's aviation advisor you were in charge of the London Legacy Development Corporation (LLDC). What lessons have we learnt from the Olympics that could support a decision to build a new hub airport?\nI have actually been working for the Mayor on his aviation policy for the last two years, in addition to my responsibilities for him first at Transport for London and then at the LLDC.\nNow that the UK's hub aviation capacity crisis is getting the national attention it deserves, when the Games came to a close Boris asked me to drop my other responsibilities and give this my full attention.\nIt is absolutely right to draw a comparison between the need for decisive action on airport policy and the undeniable success that was our preparation for and hosting of the London 2012 Games.\nThe events earlier this year – and I would add the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee to that list, too – have proved incontrovertibly that Britain is fully capable of achieving great things if we put our minds to it.\nWhat are the key advantages & disadvantages of the Thames Airport location - versus Heathrow?\nOur country's economy is buoyed up by international connectivity. It generates jobs and growth, secures large amounts of foreign direct investment, and makes us one of the world’s most attractive places for companies to set up shop.\nBut in order to keep our position in the premier league of world cities, we need a hub airport to attract and anchor that connectivity.\nHeathrow is too constrained. The last government wasted time by trying to get a short third runway at Heathrow, when the real question is how to add the fourth, fifth and sixth runways we would then immediately need.\nA new airport (whether it is on a site in the Thames Estuary or somewhere else such as at Stansted) will have the space to provide that hub capacity and allow us to compete with our rivals in cities such as Amsterdam, Frankfurt and Paris.\nAnd with a new airport can come properly integrated rail and road connections, far surpassing the very inadequate rail services at Heathrow. High-speed rail connections could, without fuss, put a new airport in the estuary within 30 minutes of a number of major London rail termini.\nBut the biggest advantage, the one which outweighs all the others and means that Heathrow can never be the hub airport this country really needs, is in terms of noise. The latest measurements show that of all the people in Europe who are adversely affected by aircraft noise, 28% of them live near Heathrow. The equivalent figure for Paris Charles de Gaulle is 0.1%!\nThis is why Boris originally championed a location out to sea in the Thames Estuary, as far away from population centres as possible. Wherever Britain's major hub airport ends up being located it simply cannot be in the centre of where 725,000 people live and work, as Heathrow is.\nWhat would be the cost of a Thames Estuary Airport and how much would be required from the UK taxpayer?\nA new hub airport, either in the Thames Estuary or to replace an existing facility like Stansted, is very roughly calculated to cost about £25 billion to build. I have every confidence that a considerable portion, if not all, of this sum could be found from private investment. After all, every airport in this country is privately run in order to make a profit. Airports, unlike railways, are inherently profitable ventures.\nBeyond the cost of the airport itself, the surface access (new roads and railways, for instance) will cost in the region of another £25 billion. This is more likely to come, at least in part, from public funds.\nBut if we look honestly at other options – such as the third runway at Heathrow – something similar is true there. If Heathrow is to take a lot more passengers, they cannot arrive by road: the M4 and M25 near Heathrow are amongst the most heavily congested sections of the country's motorway infrastructure. New passengers will need to arrive by rail, from London and from the west: but the cost of upgrading rail provision to allow that is not included in any estimates of the cost of the third runway that I have ever seen.\nWe envisage a further £10 billion could be required as compensation for the owners of Heathrow, if it necessary to reduce the scale of that airport's operations. That gives a total price tag of about £60 billion, which, when spread over a 15-year period, is a very affordable sum for the Government even if the whole project were to be publicly funded.\nHow long would it take to build?\nOur best estimates suggest that it will likely take about five years for the planning process, followed by 7-10 years to construct the airport itself. That construction timeline is based on real experience: the new Chek Lap Kok airport in Hong Kong was built in seven years, using British engineering expertise.\nThe key point, though, is that this is not ‘distant future’ stuff, as private interests would have you believe. In fact, it is roughly the same timescale as can be expected for the construction of a third runway at Heathrow, which would need the same five years for planning and perhaps another 3-5 years for construction. The two options really are in the same ball-park.\nHow many passengers per year should the new airport be built to handle & would the plans include an opportunity to grow the airport beyond that number?\nWe have largely based our work to date on the demand forecasts issued by the Department for Transport in 2011, which show continued growth is expected in the aviation market. In fact, the DfT forecasts show that an unconstrained London hub airport could support in the region of 180 million passengers per annum by 2050. That is our primary target; any airport must be built with servicing that demand in mind, so as to avoid having to revisit this debate in a decade's time.\nHow do you envisage the majority of passengers arriving at a new airport? If it is by a new rail link how practical is that with the Government currently struggling to get HS2 through planning consent.\nThe goal has to be for any new airport to operate as a 'public transport airport'. Whether the new airport is built in the estuary or at a site such as Stansted, high-speed rail will provide fast and comfortable connections to and from not only London but also the continent (via HS1 and Eurostar) and the north of the UK (via HS2).\nIdeas have also been floated for tying in the airport into a new bridge crossing the estuary, to connect Essex and Kent while also providing opportunities for new flood defences and electricity generation.\nIt's worth remembering that when we said the 2012 Games would be the first public transport games, people found that incredible, but in fact visitors to the Games were happy to use public transport to get there.\nIn Hong Kong, the speed and efficiency of the rail connection means that going to Chek Lap Kok by road is a slow option. We can deliver the same change of attitude with a new airport serving London.\nObviously there are opponents to a Thames Estuary Airport. Why is British Airways not backing the proposal?\nThere are lots of people who have reasons why they might not favour a new airport in the Thames Estuary. I've been looking at this for the Mayor for a couple of years and it has now been quite some time since I heard a complaint that I haven’t heard at least once before. But not one of them is a dealbreaker.\nBritish Airways is a private-sector company, and it is understandable that they want to make sure their market position isn't damaged by any decision on airport policy. They have the largest share of slots at Heathrow of any airline, and arguably the easiest way to guarantee their security is to maintain the status quo: incremental expansion at Heathrow.\nBut if the decision is made to build a new airport there's no doubt that one of the first actions will then be to get British Airways involved. With an offer on the table for Britain's new hub airport to be designed largely around their own requirements, do you really think they'll maintain their opposition? I doubt it.\nIf a new airport is built, would there be a future for a scaled down Heathrow? Perhaps as a joint military/private jet airport to replace Northolt?\nAviation is a growing industry. That’s why we need a new hub airport that can provide the capacity this country needs. Wherever that airport is located, it is certain to bring huge economic benefits to the surrounding area.\nThat is why the Mayor has a preference for locating it to the east of London, to bring development to an area of the capital that suffers from very high levels of deprivation and disturbingly low life expectancies.\nWhat is clear, though, is that what we need is a hub airport with at least four runways, in order to concentrate traffic and make a diverse range of routes operationally viable.\nResearch and experience from around the world suggests that it is not optimal for a city to support two hub airports at the same time, so it is likely that Heathrow's role would have to change if a new airport were built.\nBoris' view is that Heathrow would probably shrink to something more like 20 million passengers per annum, serving a local catchment of business and premium leisure travellers.\nIt could also potentially absorb some or all of the traffic that RAF Northolt serves, leaving that site free for redevelopment. Heathrow certainly wouldn’t need to close, and the time it will take to build the new airport will allow the local economy to adjust as Heathrow changes its focus.\nIf you were a betting man, what odds would you give for a new airport being built in the next 20 years?\nIf I were a betting man I’d be more interested in the odds a bookmaker might give on the future strength of the British economy, or the outcome of the 2015 General Election, if we continue to delay making any meaningful decision on airport capacity in this country.\nFor private jet charter advice and prices please call our 24 hour team on {{telephone}}.

{"text": "By Isaiah Esipisu\nKAKAMEGA, Kenya, Aug 1 (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - When it rains in Emusala village, a person sick with a fever can find it hard to get to the nearest health centre, which requires a trip along the slippery footpaths that lead to the nearest main road some 10km (6 miles) away, in the heart of Western Kenya's Kakamega County.\nBut if the fever spells the onset of malaria, rapid diagnosis and treatment are essential.\nThat's where Nicholas Akhonya comes in. With the aid of a simple medical kit and his mobile phone, Akhonya, a trained community health volunteer, is able to diagnose villagers with malaria in their own homes, offer treatment, and refer acute cases and pregnant women to health facilities for specialised care.\nMalaria cases are on the increase in Kenya, and experts attribute the upsurge to changes in the climate.\nAccording to Dr. James Emisiko, coordinator for the Division of Vector Borne and Neglected Tropical Diseases in Kakamega County, mosquitoes breed particularly well in stagnant water in warm temperatures.\nThe females feed on human blood in order to produce eggs, and if a mosquito carrying the malaria-causing plasmodium parasite bites a person, it is likely to infect them.\nKenya's recent drought – the harshest in East Africa since 2011 – followed by sporadic rainfall in the middle of this year has created a perfect breeding environment for mosquitoes, Emisiko told Thomson Reuters Foundation.\nThe result is an upsurge of malaria cases, especially in the Western Kenya region and around Lake Victoria.\n\"The only way to control deaths from this life-threatening disease is to ensure that all fever cases are tested wherever the patients are, malaria-positive cases (are) treated and all complicated cases referred to nearby health centres,\" the doctor said.\nHe said that parents in rural areas often initially give painkillers to children with fever. When families finally seek proper medical attention, it is often too late for those who have malaria to respond to simple anti-malarial drugs, and they require expensive hospitalisation instead.\nCALLING IN THE VOLUNTEERS\nTo tackle the problem, for the past two years county governments in malaria-prone areas have worked with non-governmental organisations to train community health volunteers to diagnose the disease in patients' homes, using rapid diagnostic kits.\nThe volunteers then treat those who test positive, and refer complicated cases to the nearest health centre.\n\"In case of any complication, all I need is to have power on my mobile phone so that I can communicate with medical experts using the toll-free number for further advice,\" said Akhonya, one of the volunteers.\nThe U.S.-based Centres for Disease Control and Prevention estimate that there are 6.7 million new clinical cases of malaria in Kenya each year and 4,000 deaths, most of them in Western Kenya.\nAccording to Moses Makokha, clinical officer in charge of the Bumala-A sub-county health centre in Busia County, some malaria cases can be fatal little more than 24 hours after symptoms occur, especially in children below the age of five years and pregnant women.\nIn pregnant women, malaria can lead to miscarriage or other serious complications, Makokha said.\n\"It is always an easy disease to manage - but only if it is identified at the onset of the fever and treated immediately using the correct medication,\" Makokha said.\nKakamega County's government has trained 4,200 community health volunteers to manage simple malaria, working with Community Asset Building and Development (CABDA), a local NGO, and with support from Amref Health Africa, an international Kenyan medical charity headquartered in Nairobi.\nThe volunteers are supplied with test kits and basic drugs to treat the disease at no cost to patients.\nTreating malaria at the village level, among other interventions, has helped reduce the prevalence of the disease in Kakamega County from 38 percent in 2013 to 27 percent in 2016, according to County Health Executive Peninah Mukabane.\n\"This is one of the success stories that we are all proud of,\" Ephy Imbali, CABDA's executive director, told the Thomson Reuters Foundation.\nCASH - AND STATUS\nRefresher questions from trainers keep the volunteers on their toes, and ongoing training helps to keep their skills sharp, said Imbali. Experts from county health departments visit frequently to monitor the programme.\nEach volunteer receives a monthly motivational stipend of 2,000 Kenyan shillings ($20).\n\"Apart from the stipend, I have learned so many things in terms of health interventions which are not just important for my immediate family but also to the community where I live,\" said Miriam Opechi, one community health volunteer and a mother of three children.\n\"I feel very happy whenever a patient gets well after my intervention. It gives me a complete satisfaction, and makes me feel a valuable member of the society, commanding a lot of respect from the villagers,\" she said.\nAccording to Imbali, the programme makes it possible for residents of rural areas to get access to medicines even on weekends and holidays when public health facilities are usually closed.\nEmisiko, Kakamega County's health official, said the volunteers' efforts reduce crowding at local health facilities, making it easier for health providers to attend to other important ailments.\nBut the work of community health volunteers is not always limited to malaria.\nSimon Ondeyo, who hails from Emusala, said in a telephone interview that community health volunteers had treated his children for malaria a number of times.\nBut Ondeyo is himself is a tuberculosis patient who had given up on an arduous treatment regimen until community health volunteers began visiting him daily to ensure that he took his drugs.\nToday he feels fully recovered – though is still completing his course of treatment.\n\"Without the volunteers, I do not know if I would be alive today,\" he said.\n(Reporting by Isaiah Esipisu;."}

{"text": "This recipe is an oldie but a goodie! If I’m having a big crowd this is one of my go-to recipes! I call it “Hillbilly” because I make it in an old fashioned cast iron pan and that’s the kind of pan folks use here in the Ozarks! It’s a one pan meal too! This is truly a delicious supper served with a crisp salad and garlic bread… it’s one of our family favorites!\nGather your ingredients! If you want the most delicious results use FRESH parsley, parmesan cheese and basil. Trust me it makes a difference providing true, rich Italian flavor. I’m 100% Italian, both sets of my grandparents were from Italy! So I grew up with authentic Italian cooking, my tastebuds know the difference! Fresh is best!\nUmmm…YUM! Comfort food at it’s best!\nBrown the meat in your cast iron pan. I use lean grass fed beef and lean sausage so I don’t have any excess grease. If you have a lot of grease be sure to drain it before adding the other ingredients.\nOnce browned, push the meat to one side and in the empty spot add 1 tablespoon of oil and the chopped green onions, saute for 5 minutes.\nPush the onions to the side along with the meat and add the garlic,\nsaute for 30 seconds.\nMix everything together.\nAdd the fresh parsley, oregano, red pepper flakes and salt. Mix it all up!\nAdd the crushed tomatoes (or tomato puree)\nStir it in…\nAdd 2 cups of water and stir.\nAdd broken spaghetti, push down into the liquid…\nCover and simmer for 6 minutes or until al dente.\nStir the spaghetti and mix in the fresh grated parmesan cheese.\nAdd the cream…\n…and fresh basil. Mix it all up.\nLastly, top with mozzarella cheese and put it under the broiler for a few minutes (keep an eye on it!), until it’s roasted spotty-brown like a pizza!\nCome ‘n git yer Hillbilly Spaghetti Pie!! Yee Haw!\nAunt Ruthie’s Hillbilly Spaghetti Pie Recipe\nI make this recipe in my large cast iron pan. You can use a different kind of pan as long as it’s oven/broiler proof. Another thing you can do is transfer the mixture (without the mozzarella cheese added yet) to a roasting pan, then add the mozzarella cheese and put in under the broiler. This is such a delicious meal served with a crisp salad and garlic bread… it’s one of our family favorites!\n- 1 bunch green onions, chopped\n- 2 tablespoons olive oil\n- 1/2 pound extra lean ground beef\n- 1/2 pound sweet Italian sausage, 3 links, casings removed\n- 4 garlic cloves, minced\n- 3 tablespoons minced fresh parsley (use fresh!)\n- 1 (approx. 28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes (or tomato puree)\n- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (I add two more pinches to give it a kick!)\n- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano\n- 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)\n- 2 cups water\n- 8 ounces spaghetti, broken in half or thirds (I used half of a 16 ounce package–Thin spaghetti–not Angel Hair– but you can use regular)\n- 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream\n- 4 tablespoons chopped fresh basil (use fresh!)\n- 1/2 cup fresh grated Parmesan cheese (buy a wedge of Parmesan cheese and grate it, it makes a huge difference!)\n- 2 cups grated mozzarella cheese\nDirections:\n- Saute beef and sausage, brown over medium-high heat. If there’s excess grease you can drain it. I usually don’t have a lot because I use lean meat.\n- Push the browned meat to the side, add 1 tablespoon Olive oil on the empty side and add chopped green onions, saute on on medium heat 5 minutes.\n- Push the green onions to the side next to the meat and add the garlic. Saute for about 30 seconds then stir everything together.\n- Add the fresh parsley, red pepper flakes, oregano, and salt.\n- Stir in crushed tomatoes, water and salt.\n- Add broken spaghetti. Push spaghetti into liquid, and cover for 8 minutes.\n- After 8 minutes, stir pasta so the noodles won’t stick together. Cover the pan, reduce heat to medium low and simmer for 6 more minutes until pasta is al dente (almost cooked but still a little firm).\n- Add chopped basil, Parmesan cheese, and cream, stir well.\n- Top with mozzarella cheese, put in oven to broil until spotty brown. (stand there and keep watch or set a timer for 3 minutes at a time until it’s ready, or else you may end up with Blackened Hillbilly Spaghetti Pie!)\nTo serve just use a large spoon to scoop out your portions. Add a crisp salad and garlic bread and enjoy!\n16 Comments\nAdd a Comment"}

{"text": "We’ve written about the #WalkAway (from the Democrat Party) movement for a few years now, founded by Brandon Straka. His viral video here.\nWe subscribe to the FB page and note in recent weeks there has been a huge surge in people posting they’ve joined the #WalkAway movement. It is no surprise.\nThese people are from all walks of life. Whites, blacks, Hispanics, Asians, Arabs, LGBTQI…goths. You name it. 252,000 are members and we encourage people to read their stories about how poisonous they believe the Democrat Party has become.\nKat Taylor (pictured) wrote,\nIn 2016 I was a delegate for Bernie Sanders. In order to get elected as a delegate, we all went up and explained why we were worthy of getting accepted. This basically meant, say as many reasons why you have been oppressed and whoever has it the “hardest” gets to be a delegate…\n…I began to realize that if I can’t keep up with the progression of the liberal party, I can’t be a part of it. It’s not enough to have “some liberal ideas” you have to be all in – or your out! And if your out, that means that you are a racist, you are priveledged, you are sexist, you are bigoted…\n… This is why I’m voting #trump2020 KAG.”\nOr Garett,\nHi everyone, my name is Garrett. I’m new here, but feel privileged to be a part of the #WalkAway movement.\n…spending years in the gay community I was always led to believe that, politically, I had to be a liberal. Democrats were the ones who truly cared about the LGBT community,\nIn 2016 I didn’t vote. The past four years have been beyond eye opening. Not only did I start taking the time to do my own research and allow myself to be open minded, but I started to see the true colors of so many people who had claimed to be so loving and inclusive. I have seen so much hatred and division, and have been verbally attacked for my support of Trump, accused of self-hatred, xenophobia, racism, you name it…I can’t WAIT to vote for Trump in November! 😁 Blessings to you all!! Stay strong!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸\nOr Jessie,\n“I am a gay woman that believes in equality.. I voted Democrat like clockwork until Covid-19 and the riots that followed. Racism is a very real thing, yes, but hypocrisy is as well. Members of the left play on the lefts self image of pro-peace, anti-violence, anti-racism, anti-bullying. It’s an act. A delusion. So many times now I have witnessed a leftist immediately resorting to name calling at the first sign of disagreement. So many times now I have witnessed liberals jump to the defense of violence toward the innocent because it’s in the name of a “greater cause.” So many times now I have heard that reverse racism isn’t a thing while watching video after video of whites being violently attacked simply because of the color of their skin. I am not against equality, but I am very much against hypocrisy.”\nOr Talia:\nMy name is Talia Howard and a friend of mine invited me to this page and WOW can I just say I’ve never been on a page with more kind and tolerant people in my life and I am so excited to be associating with like minded patriotic individuals. I am of Hispanic/Arabic heritage and people are very surprised when they hear I support the President. I was fortunate enough to be raised on the right side of politics and grew up conservative. However I am more of a closet Trump supporter because of all the attacks, name calling and backlash I get, along with my whole family when I share that I support Trump. It’s a sad world we live in when we can’t even openly support the President. Can’t wait to vote in November!! Trump2020”\nThe Facebook link to #WalkAway is here. Just scroll the pictures and you’ll get an idea of how diverse the group is. Identity politics he damned. Celebrate like minded individuals instead.\nOne comment"}

But attempt to not badmouth your ex in their eyes.\nTalking about the weaknesses of your ex and just how completely wrong she would be to give you might appear to be a smart idea to enhance your self-respect. It simply sharpen your feelings of fury. As an alternative, pose a question to your family with regards to their sincere suggestions about what got wrong in your past commitment and how to eliminate making those problems again.\nFurthermore, stay away from stressful your pals with complaining. Once you’ve encountered the possibility to get the poor attitude off the chest area, keep these things distract you from him/her by hanging out with you.\n7. Don’t jump into a rebound connection or rebound intercourse\nMost dudes cope with the mental soreness of a break up by trying to get into a connection as quickly as possible. Others get one evening stall or informal gender with as many ladies as you possibly can. Unfortunately, both options aren’t top to help ease the pain sensation.\nThe fact is that rebound interactions hardly ever operate. In line with the internet dating specialist Dan Bacon, a man requires time for you to endure a breakup before getting into a fresh union. If not, “he will either never be undoubtedly himself emotionally (usually to safeguard himself from getting harm) or he can end up being a mess of emotions and become the woman off,” claims Bacon.\nFor rebound intercourse, it might probably leave you feeling vacant and unsatisfied Just remember that , informal intercourse and hookups don’t benefit everybody else!\n8. Wait as of yet other individuals until you are genuinely ready\nRebound affairs damage your chances of treating faster from the breakup. But this doesn’t mean that you have to stay unmarried for decades.\nThe psychologist Paulette Kouffman Sherman, Psy.D., told style that “most group wanted per month or two to endeavor the breakup, to mourn, also to incorporate coaching before jumping in should they comprise in a reasonably serious commitment.”\nBut never assume all men and women have equivalent requirements. Kouffman Sherman alerts that, whether your past connection lasted for per year or even more, you will need three to four months before are ready to date again. In case the connection was very quick, however, you might feel just like reactivating your own Tinder accounts sooner.\n9. Refocus on your individual goal and factor as a guy and operate long hours\nAs Casey Neistat states, the remedy to several dilemmas are work. More time you’ve invested with a lady, the more their identities meld collectively.\nBecoming with people this kind of an intimate situation creates a separate psychological organization that’s a mixture of both you and the lady. So when your break up, that thing dies also it affects. It actually leaves an empty area in who you are.\nSeparating with a woman will make you ignore your price as a man, i.e., those things you have got not in the connection. Learning to conquer a breakup fast involves discovering that importance once more.\nThe time has come if you want to operate crazy time, keep in mind exactly what your purpose in daily life was and set all of your fuel into it.\nWhile you’re doing that, below are a few more suggestions:\n- Re-discover appreciate old hobbies.\n- Begin an innovative new project you’ve started postponing for several months.\n- Ready some new education needs within gymnasium.\n- Brainstorm a summary of 10 needs you can pay attention to during the next couple of months (company, personal, gym, internet dating, vacation, skill-building, etc.), decide 1-2 to spotlight and begin taking action in it STRAIGHT AWAY.\nHuge expense in on your own is ways away from heartbreak and it will give you joy independent of someone else. It could be the answer to making the girl fall back appreciate with you if that’s your ultimate goal.\nMain point here: It’s positively feasible to understand ways to get over a separation quickly. You however need some time to mourn the increasing loss of the relationship. Search help from your own pals and take off all connection with your partner, unless you’re the woman coworker or co-parent.\nIn no time, you’ll neglect the aches, and you’ll experience prepared to satisfy a new, incredible woman who will end up being a much better match obtainable!"}

{"text": "By JON REITER\nsports@newsandtribune.com\nJEFFERSONVILLE —\nAfter nearly a decade, the cannon that blasts after each Jeffersonville Red Devil touchdown has been reintroduced to Blair Field.\nThose in the vicinity of the Jeffersonville High School last night who might have been blissfully unaware that there was a football game going on could have suspected that another “Pirates of the Caribbean” sequel was being filmed — or maybe a Civil War re-enactment was taking place — for all the action the cannon got.\nJeffersonville notched its second win of the season and first Hoosier Hills Conference victory by overwhelming visiting Seymour 61-7.\nThe domination was so complete that by midway in the second quarter the Owls (0-2, 0-1 HHC) agreed to operate under a running clock for the remainder of the contest.\n“This team is starting to grow up, and we accomplished all the goals we set out for tonight in practice this week,” said Jeffersonville coach Lonnie Oldham. “Our goals now are to keep moving forward and improving as a football team.”\nSenior running back Austin Hines took his first carry from scrimmage for a 57-yard touchdown run that opened the scoring for Jeffersonville. It was one of four touchdowns Hines, who finished with 143 yards on nine carries, would have for the Devils in the rout. He now has 10 touchdowns in two games this season.\nHe almost notched a fifth on Friday. He took an off-tackle run for 39 yards inside the Seymour 5 on second down midway through the second quarter, but ran out of bounds when he had a clear route into the end zone. On the very next play, senior Brenden Bassett scored the first touchdown of his Jeffersonville career to make the score 34-0 Jeffersonville with 8:18 remaining in the first half.\nBassett, who is nicknamed “Boom,” is a special needs student at Jeffersonville and has played mostly junior varsity throughout his career, but is so popular with his teammates they demanded he get his score — and mobbed him in the end zone when he did.\n“One of the most unselfish things I’ve ever seen in my coaching career was to see Austin run out of bounds and help us get Boom in there,” Oldham said. “[Bassett] is a kid who has worked really hard and it was great to see him get in there.”\nSophomore quarterback Jamal Britt was accurate and efficient, finishing 3-of-4 for 127 yards and 2 touchdowns. His night included strikes in the first half of 32 yards to Dalton Atkins and a screen pass that wideout Isiah Blanton took up the sidelines for an 85-yard score as time was running out towards intermission.\nThe Red Devils forced the Owls into 11 punts and Seymour only crossed midfield twice on offense. The Owls scored in the fourth quarter on a 18-yard touchdown pass from Chris Knight to Elijah Toborg, but that came after a bad snap and fumble by the Jeffersonville reserve offense on the opening play of a drive deep in their own territory.\n“It was important for us to keep our focus tonight even when things started getting a little out of hand,” Oldham said. “I’m proud of the work these kids have done and hope they keep going.”\nThe Red Devils travel to Bedford North Lawrence to face the Stars on Friday night.\nJEFFERSONVILLE 61, SEYMOUR 7\nSeymour 0 0 0 7— 7\nJeffersonville 21 26 7 7—61\nSCORING PLAYS\nFirst quarter\nJ — Hines 57 run (Fahwu kick), 7:53.\nJ — Hines 4 run (Fahwu kick), 5:19.\nJ — Hines 18 run (Fahwu kick), 1:35.\nSecond quarter\nJ — Atkins 32 pass from Britt (Fahwu kick), 11:23.\nJ — Bassett 4 run (kick failed); 8:18.\nJ — Blanton 85 pass from Britt (Fahwu kick), 6:06.\nJ — Hines 1 run (kick failed), 5:44.\nThird quarter\nJ — Rouson 24 run (Fahwu kick) 5:42.\nFourth quarter\nS — Toborg 18 pass from Knight (Schlatterer kick) 10:56.\nJ — Barnett 65 run (Fahwu kick) 9:18.\nGAME STATISTICS\nPassing\nSeymour (7-11-49-1): Jackson Morris 6-10-31-1, Chris Knight 1-1-18.\nJeffersonville (3-4-127-0): Jamal Britt 3-4-127-0.\nRushing\nSeymour (22-94): Toborg 12-53, Dover 5-24, Monroe 6-20.\nJeffersonville (23-209): Hines 9-143, Mack 2-12, Bassett 5-16, Smith 1-7, Rouson 3-28, Barnett 2-67.\nReceiving\nSeymour: Toborg 5-38, Dover 2-11.\nJeffersonville: Hines 1-10, Atkins 1-32, Blanton 1-85."}

{"text": "Easy Way to Entertain in Your Yard with a Simple Fire Pit – J’s How To\nWant to make your backyard a more popular place? Add a campfire pit; it's relatively easy to make and it is a great addition for the entire family. See how I created this easy and entertaining area in my backyard.\nWe probably have a fire in the pit four or five times a week during the summer months. It's enjoyable to sit around on a cool evening and the kids always loved roasting marshmallows in it.\nIt's pretty easy to make one. You just need some boulders to circle the pit, or you can buy one of the fire rings that are now available at most hardware store.\nI dug ours out (about 24 inches deep), and placed a couple of inches of cement at the bottom to make clean-up easier.\nI then placed enough rocks to cover the circumference of the pit.\nNow, grab some easy chairs to set around it and then, just bring on the firewood or flammable logs and you are ready to go.\nIt's easy and fun, and it's a big draw in the evening."}

{"text": "Remember the metal letters my sister got for me last fall while at Antique Weekend in Round Top, TX (see here). Well, in April, I was able to drive down to Round Top (Warrenton, actually) and spend the day shopping with one of my other sisters. It was exhausting but a lot of fun. We were only able to go for one day, and we hardly covered any ground at all. It’s such a huge event. Even though I’m sure I missed out on a lot of amazing items, I did manage to snag a few small pieces for the house.\nI happened upon this chair that was tucked away between a few enormous pieces of furniture. We have been wanting a chair next to the fireplace, a great spot to slip your shoes off after walking into the house. We plan to recover the seat with some sort of fun fabric but leave the weathered look on the wood. I paid $15 for it. (The duck pillow was a purchase off of Fab.com)\nI came across this camera (Kodak Brownie from the 1950s) about half way through our day. At the end of the day, I was still thinking about it and somehow managed to refind the little booth that was selling it. Alex and I have talked about collecting old cameras and displaying them around the house, so I decided to start our collection with this one. Original asking price was $45, but I managed to get it for $30.\nI found a pile of old bowling pins outside of one of the very first booths we stopped at after parking the car that morning. On the way back to the car that evening, we stopped by again and they were all still there. I asked if I could buy just one, and the lady responded with “Sure, how much will you give me for it.” I had no idea how much bowling pins were selling for and neither did she, so I offered $5. SOLD!\n"}

{"text": "Launchpad McQuack (Not the Official Title)\nScott Pilgrim vs. the World\nEdgar Wright has a very singular sensibility when it comes to movies. I tend to hold him in the same vein as David Fincher, both directors who use the medium of film to tell stories in very unique ways. Of course, those two directors are pretty different in their style. Fincher's movies are rather cold with the camera (famously) lock-set on every motion, even nuance of motion in the frame. Wright, meanwhile, makes lively, packed productions with constantly call-outs and call-backs, and while his camera may follow characters (at times similarly to Fincher), his emphasis is on dynamic cuts and edits that propel the story forward.\nNowhere is the particular Wright style on display more than in Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, an adaptation of the comic book (would the more accurate term be American Manga?) series by Brian Lee O'Malley. I'm not sure what fans of the comics were expecting when they heard there was a Hollywood adaptation in the works (I haven't read the books so I can't speak to how close the story is), but I have to assume this movie is not really what they were expecting. The film doesn't feel like an adaptation of a comic but, instead an adaptation of all the things late Gen-X/early Millennials remember from their childhood and teenage years.\nAnd the movie states in its opening bit of dialogue, Scott Pilgrim (Michael Cera) lives in Toronto, Canada, and has just started dating a high school girl named Knives Chau (Ellen Wong). This is a point of derision among Scott's friends as Scott is 22 and still hasn't, in any way, grown up since high school. He has no job, plays in a crappy band, and basically sponges off his roommate Wallace (Kieran Culkin, the MVP of the movie with his scene stealing performance). Scott, though, is forced to re-evaluate his life and where he's headed when he has a chance encounter (in his dreams, no less) with Amazon delivery-woman Ramona Flowers (Mary Elizabeth Winstead). Unfortunately for Scott, not only does he have to try and woo Ramona (and dump Knives), but he also has to fight (to the death) Ramona's Seven Evil Exes, past loves that will kill Scott if given the chance.\nWhile that plot summary might seem like a lot, it's all deftly laid out during the opening act of the movie. By the time the first of the Evil Ex-Boyfriends shows up, you've already adjusted to the weird sensibilities of the movie. There's so much going on in the movie from scene one, from the little video game references (sight gags and audio cues), to the quick cuts and fast scene changes. This movie, in execution (although not plot) reminds me of Fight Club, as both are movies that feel less like you watch them and more like they are downloaded into your brain. And, oddly, they're both about the existential dread of having to move forward with your life (as well as the underground fight scene, although in very different ways).\nAt the center of all of it is Scott. As played by Cera, Scott is a mumbling, waifish slacker. He's a terrible person to make the center of the movie since he's just not likeable, but I think that's the point. Scott's never had to grow up, and everyone has just let him skate by as he does whatever he wants. The kick-start he gets in the movie forces him to grow up, to become an actual person, so that by the end you actually, genuinely like him even if he has a face and attitude you want to punch at the start of the film. Michael Cera was a great choice for the character as Scott is basically the kind of character Cera famously played time and again (in movies like Superbad and on the series Arrested Development). Michael Cera playing Scott is another reference, an additional joke the movie makes without having to play an audio cue or give us a sight gag. It's saying \"yes, this is exactly the character you expect because Michael Cera is here.\"\nNot that Cera is the only notable actor in the film. Winstead does a bang-up job with Ramona, another character that should, in all honesty, be terrible. Ramona is running from her exes, but she's also basically running from all her past deeds and life choices. Any time we get a bit of her story, it's always about one awful thing she did (or her exes did in her name, which she loved at the time). Remember, Ramona has seven of these evil people in her past, and she liked (or loved) them all for a time. And yet, despite the fact that Ramona she be repugnant, Mary Elizabeth Winstead gives the character a soul. She's good in the big moments, like a fight sequence halfway in, but it's the smaller, character reaction moments where Ramona really shines (as I commented to my wife near the end of the movie during one really good moment where, with just a flash of her eyes, Winstead could sell all the complex emotions of the character).\nBut then the true star of this show any time he's on screen is Wallace, Scott's roommate and the most put-together character in the movie. Wallace flits from scene to scene, and we never get a sense of what he does or why he puts up with Scott. And yet it all works. Kieran Culkin give such an easy, charismatic, no-fucks-given performance as Wallace and you end up wishing for the character to show up any time he's not around. Wallace is the best.\nI can understand how this movie failed at the box office. It's a movie unlike just about any other (with the weird exception of Fight Club now that I really think about it) and it's hard to see how the studio could have marketed it to anyone. Plus, let's face it, the lead characters are awful people at the outset and you really have to want to like them before they finally grow into people you care about. It's no surprise the movie bombed, but it's a tragedy none-the-less. This is a great movie that treats your eyes to so much goodness that, by the time the characters are growing the plot is chugging along, you're hooked by everything on the screen.\nIt's no wonder, then, that this movie has quickly grown to be one of my stand-by \"pop in when I'm bored\" flicks. It's great fun and, once you know the story the movie wants to tell, it never disappoints."}

{"text": "How to Sell Your Art78\nIntroduction\nThere are two main ways to sell you artwork. Through a gallery, or on-line, and deciding which of these methods should be the first thing you decide. There's nothing to stop you from doing both, however you may see faster results on-line as some art galleries book their exhibitions a year in advance and its hard to get an exhibition if your unknown. You can sell artwork on-line in a number of ways, either through a site you run yourself (weather it be your own domain or on a site set up for artists to sell their artwork) or through a reputable company that sells artwork.\nBefore you start this process, ask yourself the type of person you want to buy your artwork. Are you after an art connoisseur (usually a lot of money for a 1 off piece of art) or are you more interested in selling to the average person (less money, but you might sell a lot of the same image and make more money) If you want to sell the one off art to the connoisseur, look to a real world art gallery for that. If your more interested in selling as many copies of your art to the average person, look to get on-line.\nNeither of these steps will happen overnight (unless your very very good) and it will take some time and work hard. The feeling you get though when you sell your first piece of art makes every second of it worthwhile.\nMy first piece of serious advice on this is to water mark all your images. This helps stop people stealing your work and posting it to other sites and claiming credit, or worse selling your images and making money off it without your knowledge. DeviantART allows you add a Creative Commons License which adds a DeviantART watermark. This is a great way of doing, but why not add your own watermark with your portfolio URL on it. Then if you use your art on another site as a picture for an article its more advertising for your web URL.\nArt Galleries\nEvery city has them, most towns do as well so there are plenty of places you can approach to sell your work. Galleries are the holy grail to an artist. To stand there and watch people admiring your artwork is a wonderful feeling, and sadly one that only a small percentage of artists get to feel.\nSo how do you go about getting into a gallery? Well, start off by researching galleries, find out if there are any specific galleries tailoring to your style or chosen subject. It doesn't matter how great your art is, if your trying to sell digital painting from the Sci-Fi genre in a gallery that specialises in Landscape water colours, your going to get a no straight away.\nStart off by calling them up for an appointment or pop in and have a look round. Talk to the staff and ask them questions, make sure you trust them! If you do get an appointment, make sure your prepared. Take along a sample of your work, not all of it and make sure its well presented. It doesn't matter if there re-productions of the originals as long as there high quality re-productions. Dress well, be confident and most of all, believe in yourself and your artwork.\nIf you are successful in getting some artwork in a gallery and some of your art sells, expect the gallery to take their commission. It depends on the gallery, but I've seen and helped organise exhibitions in galleries taking as little as 20% going all the way up to 60%. this might seem like a lot, but small inner city galleries have huge overheads and can often only fit small numbers of images on the walls. Remember, there a business, not a charity so they are trying to make money.\nOn-line E-Tailers\nWorking for an on-line e-tailer of bespoke modern art, we are often contacted by artists and designers interested in selling art. Some are interested in selling one off's, others are interested in selling the image rights for re-production purposes. This can be a lucrative deal depending on any deal you agree with the company.\nWhen approaching a company, act professional. Either email or call them to enquire weather they accept outside artwork. If you intend on emailing them, introduce yourself, give a short bio about yourself. Some say add in any training you have in art, but personally I don't look for training, some of the best artists I've met have none, there just naturally gifted! Also include a link to your on-line portfolio so the company can see your artwork, if they respond you can at least hope for some compliments or constructive criticism. Under no circumstances must you mention money in the original contact and if your art may be offensive in any way (e.g. nudes or political motivated art) mention this in the email before the link to your site. Some companies won't sell certain art so as to not offend potential customers.\nWhat kind of deal might you be able to get selling this way? It all depends on the company involved, and the profit margins on the products. Some will offer to buy images at a set rate (e.g. $40 or £20) and they are then free to sell your image as many times as they can. The other option is percentage or fixed rate per image sold. For example, if you get a deal where you get $20 (£10) for the image up front, then a small amount per image sold you stand to make a lot more money. Some companies will offer a bonus payment if your art sells a set number of images, for example, sell 10 and get another $30. This is only an example, if a company decides to sell your artwork they'll come up with the payment and you'll need to agree with it. Don't set your sites too high, if the company is selling a picture for $200 (£100) don't expect to be taking a massive cut of this, they have a lot of overheads and there doing as much as they can to sell your work.\nGetting money per image sold has a massive advantage on-line. Market your images. Through your own site, forums, communities, social book marking sites and even emails you can increase traffic and hopefully sales of your images. This will mean you receive more money, and so does the company selling your artwork. This then might result in an increase in the cut you receive from each sale. Work hard at marketing your artwork and you'll see more money coming in.\nLike real world galleries, have a look through the sites you intend on approaching before you approach them to see if they sell similar styles to your own.\nDevinatART\nDeviantART is a massive art site, they've been going for a little over 8 years. Earlier this year they past the 50 Million images mark!(currently stand at a little over 66 Million) They often see more than 20 Million Unique users each month and have over 7 million members. They often appear in Alexa top 100 websites for traffic and more importantly, reach between 0.5% and 1% of ALL internet users! With stats like that, if you haven't already got an account, go get one!\nOne of the features of DeviantART is the print shop. With an account, you can sign up for a free print account where you can sell your artwork all over the world. (For info on the amount you will get from each sale, click here)\nA premium Print account cost $30 (£15) for a year which may seem a lot, but you can make a lot more money. After base costs, you then take 50% of what's left.\nFor example:Wrapped Canvas Image 40\" x 30\"\nStandard account -\nBase price - $167.93\nCost to Buy - $285.50\nYour cut - $23.51\nPremium Account -\nBase price - $167.93\nCost to Buy - $285.50\nDifference - £117.57\nYour cut - $58.75\nWhat a difference a premium account makes! There are other advantages to using the premium account, larger upload image for larger files, 3 months DeviantART subscription and the option to buy your own artwork at base costs make it a good deal. My advice would be to get the free account with DeviantART and start uploading your images. When you start to sell some of your work, decide weather you'll see a massive increase in profit by paying for the premium account.\nThe Saatchi Gallery\nThis is another great place to open a portfolio site. Sadly there is no way to directly make money, however, if you go to the home page and see how many hits the site has had in the last 24 hours, you'll realise why its worth hosting some images there! (October 10th 10:22 am GMT – last 24 hours – 72,002,573 – Alexa ranked number 224) Its also free and very simple to use. There's some very well known artists on there, as well as a large following of students who are trying to get some constructive criticism on their projects.\nFlickR\nThis is another well known art based site. Originally designed to share photos around the world. you can't sell through Flickr, but you can use it as a portfolio site or as an addition or a DeviantART account or your own web page.\nThere are some great features including a slide show box you can mount on your own sight or blog. This allows the user to interact and scroll through your images easily, without taking up to much room. Flickr, like DeviantART gets on average 20 Million unique views a month so there's plenty of people out there to find your art, appreciate it and hopefully buy it!\nEbay\nEveryone knows Ebay, and everyone knows you can sell anything (within reason) on Ebay. There are some benefits of Ebay, you can start selling straight away, and they don't take a large cut like some other sites. However, there are some draw backs to Ebay.\nIts not an art based site, this means that if you search 'ART' in Ebay, you end up with 406,102 items (correct at 16:40 9/10/2008 on ebay.com) and obviously, your art will get lost in there! Obviously your going to attract people with more defined key words in the search, but that's a lot of art (and after spending 3 minutes looking, I do use that term loosely! I would still recommend a portfolio site to any wannabe art seller, so if you can, avoid Ebay and head for something more specialised.\nThis site is great if you already have a lot of one off art work that you want to sell in an attempt to fund the building of your own site, or materials for any current or future site. Remember, one mans junk is anothers treasure.\nDriving on-line traffic to your Art\nMarketing your art is a lot like marketing any on-line blog or article. Its all about getting the maximum possible viewers. After setting up an on-line portfolio you want to start doing some SEO (Search Engine Optimization)to promote yourself.\nThe best places to start are social bookmarking sites (Digg, Mixx and Stumble Upon all have an Image Upload) and you can always Stumble on your own site. Getting on these sites has a 2 fold effect, firstly it can help get some traffic to your site and secondly it helps you get some of the crucial links to your URL. Another great tip for anyone with images Is to make sure they are correctly tagged up (Alt tags - height, width description tag) This helps Google know what the image is and helps you get a higher placing on Google images.\nIf you have a unique style of process to your artwork, write some articles on it. The best thing about art is its much easier to create a fully interactive web 2.0 web site. This again helps with your SEO as Google is open to giving higher ranks in its search engine to sites which give a user interaction. Make some videos of you painting in your style. Add images, lots and lots (of correctly Alt tagged) images. Search around for some interactive flash add on's so you can let your views get into your site, hopefully come back and most importantly, buy your work!\nBelow is a video by Street Artist Joshua Allen Harris. This a great way to increase your traffic. This video has been seen all over the world after getting linked on the Wooster collective blog. Who says art has to be a painting?\nWould you class Joshua Allen Harris's Plastic Bag Animals as art?See results without voting\nInterview with a man in the business\nI spoke with Andy Harper owner of WHoArtNow, producers of bespoke modern art for some tips\nWhat would you advise someone to do if they were looking to promote and sell their art?\nWell first thing to do is get a website to showcase your art, a CV of what you can do. I get 20 emails a week from artists and designers who are looking to do business and it amazes me some of them don't have a web page of sorts. If there's a website, I'll always have a look, you never know what you might be missing out on!\nDoes it matter if its not a website but a portfolio site?\nNo it doesn't have to be your own website. I'm an active member on DeviantART and FlickR so even if we don't business, you might find me becoming your friend so I can keep track of your art. I might be a businessman, but my love is still for the art.\nCan anyone sell their artwork?\nIn theory yes, I do think you need to get some feedback off people before you start approaching companies. Plus, look at your work from the point of view of business, is it commercial enough? I see a lot of very good art, but only about 5% of it would be commercially viable enough for our site. Be positive about your work, but accept criticism well. The companies you'd be looking at contacting are busy places, and sometimes emails can slip through the cracks, so follow up with them by phone. Don't over do it though, leave it a week first.\nAny other tips?\nYeah, agencies can be brilliant. I worked for Saatchi and Saatchi in London a few years ago and remember seeing these massive files of people's art. They'd be sent in on the hope of getting work, and if they liked your style, they'd keep a record of you. When they got new contracts they'd flick through the files to see if anyone fitted certain criteria and then they'd give them a call. There some 14 yr olds in the portfolio!\nThank you for your time\nConclusion\nI'm passionate about art, and I love to find some new art by some unknown artists, especially when it blows my mind! Marketing and selling your art is not easy, it may take years to build up a fan base and start selling. For the best results though, I'd recommend getting your artwork up in as many places as you can to get the maximum exposure.\nNever take rejection personally. Have faith, and some confidence. Be patient. The more you put into your art and marketing your art, the more you will get out of it. Most importantly though, love you art, and have fun with your art.\nWas this article helpful?See results without voting\nSome useful Links\n- DeviantART\nOne of the largest online Portfolio sites.

{"text": "12/27/07 The Nationals Are Willing To Take The Risks...The Rays?...Uh, Not So Much...\nI subscribed to espn.com around this time two years ago, desperate for any Hot Stove news I could find, and convinced by some of the free offerings, that Buster Olney's blog was by far the best time-saving destination for omnivorous readers of baseball news. As a consequence of my online subscription, the good folks at espn.com also began sending me\"ESPN the Magazine\" every week or so, and all for the low-low price of $30 dollars a year...\nWhich really is a good deal. I would subscribe for access to Mr. Olney's blog alone, because in all honesty, I can only bring myself to read two pages of the Magazine, which they have annoyingly taken to calling \"The Mag\", those two pages being the NHL and MLB Insider sections located after all of \"The Mag's\" MAXIM-ized sports coverage...(ed. note- \"OK three pages, I also read Stuart Scott's \"Two Way\" cause I can't get enough reader mail...seriously.)...\nThis week a piece by baseball Guru/Writer/TV Personality Tim Kurkjian called \"Risk Management\" in the \"MLB Insider\" section piqued my interest. In Mr. Kurkjian's column he discusses the differing approaches two long suffering franchises, the Tampa Bay Rays and Washington Nationals, have taken in attempting to build their teams into contenders, with the connection between the teams, of course, being the trade of Elijah Dukes to DC.\nMr. Kurkjian notes the Nationals GM Jim Bowden's penchant for choosing \"reclamation projects\" and cites as examples, Dmitri Young from last season, and the acquisitions of Lastings Milledge and Dukes this Winter while noting that DY's '07 season was such a success that he is now being looked to as a mentor for the supremely talented, but seemingly self-destructive Dukes.\nThe Tampa Bay De..uh, Tampa Bay Rays, in contrast, have in Mr. Kurkjian's words, decided to \"subtract risk\" from the equation by trading volatile players like Delmon Young and Dukes, for a potential future ace in Matt Garza and twenty-eight year old infielder Jason Bartlett from Minnesota for DY's brother Delmon, and acquiring highly-regarded Minor League prospect Glenn Gibson from the Nationals for Dukes...with Garza, Bartlett and Gibson having no controversy in any of their backgrounds at all.\nThe Rays had more than enough reasons to part with both Young and Dukes, who both have had well-documented personal problems at home and with the team. According to Mr. Kurkjian's column, Rays Manager Joe Maddon also cited the \"sense of entitlement\" their former 1st and 3rd Round picks exhibited, which, when combined with the myriad of other issues the two presented, ultimately made Tampa's decision a fairly easy one...\nBut as Mr. Kurkjian presents the two sides, it's more a matter of how you assess risk, with Nationals Team President citing the 1980's era Boston Celtics of the NBA as a model of how a successful franchise is built by, \"...taking chances,\" while the Tampa Bay Rays are portrayed as \"minimizing risk\" to increase the odds for success.\nThe Rays approach does not end on the field either, as their new name reveals. The organization has also attempted to minimize the risk of even possibly alienating fans who might potentially be offended by the inclusion of the word, \"Devil\" in the teams' original nickname.\nBut Tampa Ray's President Matt Silverman provided a reasoned explanation for the name change, stating in an article written in part by three writers...(ed.note- \"3? Really?\")...Chris Tisch, Carrie Weimar and Louis Hau of the St. Petersburg Times, entitled, \"Devil Rays may play name game\" from a full year before the name-change, in which Mr. Silverman somewhat cryptically explains:\n.\"\nFor a team that's that conscious of it's public image, the idea of allowing Delmon Young and Elijah Dukes to stay in Tampa Bay simply became untenable, while the Nationals have a firm belief in their ability to allow their players to succeed, with Mr. Kurkjian quoting Mr. Kasten as saying, \"Look what we did by taking a chance on Dmitri Young,\" which fails to verbally acknowledge the efforts of Mr. Young himself, but does serve to once again highlight the attitude the Nationals, as an organization, have adopted...\nWhile the Rays are happy to be rid of the distraction Dukes had become, the Nationals are sure that they can allow Elijah Dukes to realize the hype that has followed through four Minor League seasons during which he's averaged a .272 BA, 20 doubles, around 4 triples, 11 HR's and 56 RBI's and a rookie year in the Majors, where Dukes homered in his first MLB at bat, and followed the next night with his second home run in the Majors, before finishing the season prematurely with 3 doubles, 2 triples, 10 HR's and 21 RBI's in just 52 games...\n*Nationals/Rays Tim Kurkjian Links*\nArticle by Chris Tisch, Carrie Weimar and Louis Hau of the St. Petersburg Times, entitled, \"Devil Rays may play name game\":\nTim Kurkjian's archive at espn.go.com:\nBuster Olney's blog at espn.com...(for INSIDERS only): a%2f%2finsider.espn.go.com%2fespn%2fblog%2findex%3fname%3dolney_buster\n0 recs |\nThe Nationals\nOr, you are not a risk-taker, more of a stay at home guy, see what develops, weed out any potential problems.\nby Mr Sparkay on\nDec 28, 2007 6:18 AM EST\nreply\nactions\n0 recs\nNo risk taker here...\nWhy you gotta bring up the 'Daily...that's like saying, \"Hey remember that lovely ex-girlfriend of yours...\"\nNew names for Federal Baseball?

{"text": "THE used bookstore for book-loving kids (and grown-ups, too)\nLike-new books without the new book prices! A booklover’s paradise.\nSam’s Books is a used bookstore located in the Oldsmar Flea Market in Oldsmar, FL — catering to all of Pinellas and Hillsborough Counties. We’re the OG of used bookstores in the Tampa Bay area (25 years in business, crazy, right?!?). Our specialty (and passion) is pre-loved children’s books, but we have a large selection of almost anything else you can imagine.\nYES! Oldsmar Flea Market IS STILL OPEN!\nWe’ve heard from more than a few customers that they’d heard the market was closing…IT’S NOT! Oldsmar Flea Market is alive and well, and so is Sam’s Books. In fact, the store is even open an hour MORE Thursday-Sunday (til 6pm).\nWhy is Sam’s Books the better used bookstore?\nIt’s simple. If you’re looking for a bargain, you’ll find it. If you’re looking to go cheap, go elsewhere. We try to be super selective with our stock so that you’re not sifting through piles of the crappy books everyone else got rid of (James Patterson is a fine author but do you really want a yellowed copy of Kiss the Girls from 1995?) Yes, we sell used books, but we strive to provide used books that are more like-new than not, but at prices you can actually afford. We truly love what we do and want to share that love with our customers, and THAT is what separates us from our competitors. It’s truly a book lover’s paradise!\nBrowse our store for yourself or inquire online!\nPersonally, I like finding my books by wandering. Yup, I choose my books based on the cover. Sometimes that works out, sometimes not so much. But I never regret!\nHere’s the lowdown: if your idea of a good time is browsing a treasure trove of books for hours, we’re definitely the bookstore for you. We try to keep the most requested books in stock, but the true beauty is in the undiscovered!\nBut we know that browsing the most fabulous bookstore in the world endlessly is not always in your timeframe, even if you’d like it to be. So if you know what you want, feel free to contact us! If we don’t have it, we’ll let you know if we can get it. Our inventory changes daily, but if I do say so myself, the proprietor knows her stuff — and she’ll be able to give you a reasonable guess if we can get it for you.\nThe best part is: IT’S LOCAL! Whether you’re in St. Pete, Oldsmar, Tarpon Springs, Town N’ Country, New Port Richey… your new (used and affordable) books are right around the corner.\nSo whatcha want?\nAlthough we specialize in children’s books of ALL kinds (seriously, you have to see it to believe it), we’re stacked (get it??) with a ton of genres, including but not limited to:\n- Biographies\n- Chick Lit\n- Classics\n- Cookbooks\n- Mysteries\n- Romance\n- Sci-Fi\n- Westerns\n- Young Adult\n- Manga\n- Graphic Novels\n- And wayyyyy too much to list!\nAre you a teacher?\nYou don’t make enough money for the amazing work you do. We are proud to offer you a 10% discount on all of your purchases, all day, every day. We want to help you stock your classroom for less, especially since supplying good books for your students often comes from your own (underpaid) pocket. We only wish we could do more.\n31 thoughts on “THE used bookstore for book-loving kids (and grown-ups, too)”\nDo you have any copies of Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers?

{"text": "Re-shooting of “Forensic Heroes 4” Costs $10 Million HKD\nBy hailey on May 27, 2019 in NEWS, TV Dramas\nAfter discovered to be cheating with Andy Hui (許志安), Jacqueline Wong (黃心穎) fled to Los Angeles to avoid the public eye. However, the aftermath of the scandal led to public outrage and TVB’s decision to re-shoot Forensic Heroes 4 <法證先鋒IV>, replacing Jacqueline with Roxanne Tong (湯洛雯). All of Jacqueline’s scenes will be deleted and re-filmed, costing TVB an extra $10 million HKD to produce Forensic Heroes 4.\nToday, the cast and crew attended a blessing ceremony to commence the re-shooting process. As a long time fan of the Forensic Heroes franchise, Roxanne is very excited to take part in the drama, but also feels the pressure. In order to prepare for the role, Roxanne has to lose 10 pounds, a goal she hasn’t accomplished yet. She said, “I need to eat better and exercise more to lose weight in a healthy manner. In terms of filming this drama, I want to turn pressure into motivation to give it my best.”\nRaymond Wong (黃浩然) is very confident in Roxanne’s ability and experience. Since the re-shooting was very sudden, he will have to rebuild the onscreen chemistry as well.\nThe Aftermath for the Team\nMany cast members were affected by Jacqueline’s scandal as many dramas/ programs featuring the actress had to be cancelled or filmed again. Raymond refused to comment on Jacqueline’s scandal, but he is grateful that Forensic Heroes 4 can still be released. Though re-shooting requires editing the script and scheduling, he believes the drama would still be successful. “Right now, I just want to focus on the drama and hope that the reshooting will be successful. I don’t think I am a victim, I just think it is a little unfortunate that our original work was wasted,” Raymond said.\nUnlike Owen Cheung (張振朗) whose drama with Jacqueline, The Offliners <堅尼地愛堅離地>, has been put on hold, Raymond is very grateful that they can at least re-shoot the drama, which should take about three to four months.\nProducer Miu Siu Ching (梅小青) said Forensic Heroes 4 was originally slated to be released during the TVB Anniversary at the end of the year, but the re-shooting will delay its broadcast date to January. Miu Siu Ching admitted that some scenes will not be able to be re-filmed, but she will utilize the opportunity to improve on scenes that can be redone. “This is a valuable experience. We will use $10 million HKD to re-film a drama. The company is great in supporting this drama. Thanks to all the cast and their helping out when we reached out.”\nThis article is written by Su for JayneStars.com.\nit’s all because of Jacqueline wong. actually she is not a main lead, why not leave the drama as it is? it’s so wasted to re-shoot those episodes again.\n.\nOf course its difficult losing the weight, because she is already slim. The slimmer you are the more difficult it is to shed those pounds. Its a completely unreasonable request by the execs."}

{"text": "- TwitterTweet\n- FacebookShare\nRebuilding blood\nIt was a medical mystery. The patients should be showing symptoms of sickle cell anemia. They harbored dangerous mutations in the gene for hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen. But they were relatively healthy. Why were they protected from the devastating disease?\nAcademic groups around the world launched an investigation and made an interesting discovery. Most of us stop producing the fetal form of hemoglobin—to which oxygen is highly attracted—soon after birth. The unexpectedly healthy patients, however, keep making fetal hemoglobin, thereby compensating for the defective adult form of the protein.\nResearchers at Novartis and the biotech company Intellia Therapeutics would like to switch the gene for fetal hemoglobin back on in those suffering from sickle cell anemia. The team hopes to extract red blood cells from patients, edit their DNA—using technology called CRISPR—to flip the switch, and then inject the revised cells back into the body. At this point, the project is in its infancy.\n“Human data are driving our therapeutic strategy for hematological disorders,” says Lloyd Klickstein, head of translational medicine for the New Indications Discovery Unit at the Novartis Institutes for BioMedical Research. “We know that the fetal form of hemoglobin modifies the course of sickle cell anemia, so we’re optimistic about this potential gene therapy.”\nThe team also is looking beyond sickle cell anemia to other hematological applications of gene editing. An experimental treatment by Novartis called HSC835 potentially expands the possibilities.\nIn some cases, it will be difficult to safely obtain enough blood cells from a patient to make editing feasible, especially if he or she needs frequent blood transfusions to stay alive. HSC835 is designed to multiply blood stem cells, which give rise to all the other cells of the blood. It might be possible to combine gene editing with HSC835 outside the body when the supply of blood cells from a particular patient—or group of patients—is limited.\nMedia Inquiries: Jeff Lockwood +1 617 871 7026"}

{"text": "I started this vintage Vogart dresser scarf earlier this week. The original was very long and, since I'm going to make pillows from it, I cut it in half. I'll save the other half for later.\nI wasn't sure what the flower was and needed to think about it for a while so I began with the leaves and used a nice leafy green.\nWhen the leaves were done I couldn't put off the decision on the flower colors any longer. So I got out some of my gardening books and I'm 99% sure it's a wild rose. Flowers in embroidery projects are often stylized so it’s not always easy to figure out what they are.\nWow, look at all those French knots!\nWild roses are usually pink but I have this gorgeous red and yellow rose print (Forties Retro by Sharon Yenter for In the Beginning Fabrics ©2004) in my stash that I’d really like to use so my roses are going to be red instead. Not entirely accurate but close enough.\nSo I chose embroidery thread colors to coordinate with this fabric. I’ll use the darker red for the lines radiating out from the center and yellow for the French knots. Did I already mention all those French knots?\nAnd I’ve even thought ahead to the buttons I'll use to complete the design, although I haven’t decided for sure…\nThat’s my process. I'm almost always pairing my work with fabrics so I look for my embroidery colors within the prints and patterns. And I really like to play up the lesser colors, too. It's hard to discuss color because it's so personal—your likes, dislikes, and color choices will be much different than mine. But, as a general rule, think about how and where you’ll use what you’re embroidering. If you’re doing tea towels for your kitchen, choose colors that work with your color scheme. Making baby things? Don't just think of the traditional blues and pinks. And if you're into mod then go ahead and do a crazy mix of turquoise, lime green, and hot pink! When it comes to color, it's all good.\n10 comments:\nIt's going to look lovely when it's done. French Knots are my fav stitch....hence the name of my blog!\nYup, thats a wild rose - its the provincial flower for Alberta (Canada). I have a similar one from my grandmothers project basket. I love your blog and am delurking to say thank you for all your wonderful inspiration and information.\nI can't wait to see how this turns out Janet - it's so interesting that you put this much thought into the colors and trying to stay true to the flower. I've never thought of my embroidery like that, but now will have to! ;)\nThe wild rose pillow is going to be gorgeous--I hope you'll also share a picture of it when you're finished.\nI've been learning so much with your stitch tutorials but also through the discussions about fabric, floss choices, design and now colors--it's all very helpful and inspires me to think beyond what you just \"see.\"\nCant wait to see how it turns out, i have not commented before. Such a lovely blog, so inspirational. Renee x\nwaaaah french knots! I really really must get practising on some of them!\nWow this is going to be lovely, I can't wait to watch it emerge. Where did the patern come from?\nThe manufacturer is Vogue (not sure if that's the same as the magazine) and it's a stamped-for-embroidery scarf No.055 F34. Definitely vintage, maybe 1940s? It's so hard to date these things. I may make this pattern available but need to trace it first.\nI absolutely love the fabric and therefore, the color scheme. What a lovely project! Please DO show us the completed work.\nThank you so much for all your teaching. I am so inspired and educated by your blog.\nCara\noh my. This is beautiful. My color preferences are exactly like yours!\nI found your blog from your vintage valentine and discovered we also share taste in other things vintage. I'll be bookmarking you!\n(p.s. I post valentines, too!)"}

{"text": "\nHockey Doesn't Need Fights.\nPublished: January 4, 2009 - By Hockey5|\nPrint\nThe recent death of Whitby Dunlops defenseman Don Sanderson has re-opened the debate in the hockey world on fighting. Sanderson died as a result of injuries he suffered over three weeks ago when his helmet was knocked off during a fight and he fell into a coma after striking his head on the ice.Injuries of this sort are extremely rare. The last time a player had died as a result of a hockey fight in an organized league in Canada was a century ago, and it was obviously an accident.It won’t take long however before this tragic incident passes and little if anything will happen regarding fighting’s place in the game. I’m not a shrinking violet or a bleeding heart and I’ve enjoyed a good hockey fight as much as the next fan, but as I stated several years ago after Todd Bertuzzi ended Steve Moore’s career, I believe fighting should be taken out of the game. Those who support fighting in hockey claim that without it, instances involving stick fouls and dirty play will increase. Many defend it as a necessary emotional “safety valve”. Fighting has been a part of hockey in general and the NHL in particular for decades, and some of the game’s greatest players weren’t averse to dropping their gloves to defend themselves, but over the past three decades we’ve seen the rise of players whose sole talent or claim to fame in the NHL is their pugilistic skills. In recent years those players have been able to at least play a regular shift on the checking lines or as a fifth or sixth defenseman, but if it weren’t for their fighting ability most probably wouldn’t have made the NHL. When most hockey fans think of their favorite games, or when panels of hockey experts and pundits make their selections of the greatest games or moments in NHL history, those involving fights almost never make the cut. In most NHL playoff games teams usually either severely restrict the ice time of their enforcers or banish them to the press box. Fights during the playoffs have become a rare thing over the past twenty years, and players usually attempt to be more disciplined with their play in the post-season, not willing to risk taking a penalty, especially those involving stick fouls like cross-checking, slashing and high-sticking. The same holds true in international competition. Given how much higher emotions are in playoff and tournament competition, the relative absence of fighting in those games compared to regular season games punches a big hole in the “safety valve” argument. Some also defend fighting as a significant selling point of the game, pointing to crowd excitement whenever the gloves are dropped. The crowd also gets the same level of excitement over a goal or a well-executed play, a great save, or a big bodycheck. The game of hockey is exciting and physical enough without fighting, and as I’ve noted above, its virtual absence from the lists of hockey’s greatest games and moments suggests it’s not something whose disappearance would hurt the game. If the NHL or hockey in general needs fighting to sell tickets, then it should stop all pretense of marketing itself as a professional sports league and market itself instead as roller derby on ice I’m not suggesting physical play has to be taken out of the game. Bodychecking belongs in the sport, except for deliberate attempts to injure via head shots or hitting from behind. I also don’t believe for a moment that the players will become wimps if fighting is taken out of the game. These are people who are among the toughest athletes in sports, who’ll play through pain that would sideline other athletes and certainly send average folks to the hospital to lace up and play a big game. That would be no less diminished if fighting were taken out of the game. Quite frankly, I’ve outgrown the need to see a good hockey fight and I question the rationale as to why we should have it in the game at all. If I watch an exciting well-played game I don’t feel cheated if a good fight didn’t break out at some point. In fact, I don’t even miss it. That’s one of the things I love about playoff hockey and international competition, because I know those games won’t be delayed by a mindless fight that has no part in the outcome of the game. Some would argue otherwise, how a good fight can spark a losing team to rally, but quite frankly, if that’s what it takes to shake a team out of its lethargy, I’d question the ability of the coaching staff and the supposed leaders on the roster. I realize I’m just in a minority, and like Damien Cox of the Toronto Star I don’t won’t the late Don Sanderson to be a poster child or martyr against hockey fights. I just don’t believe there’s a place for fighting in hockey anymore. Too often in the American sports media the only time hockey gets mentioned is if there’s a major brawl or if someone gets injured from a hockey fight. If the NHL is to grow as a serious professional sports league in the United States, it needs to realize that it doesn’t need fighting to sell itself. If the game itself isn’t exciting enough to sell the game and it needs fighting to do it in the United States, it’ll forever be relegated to the fringe. Maybe that’s what supporters of hockey fights would prefer, but it certainly doesn’t say much about the quality of the game I love. No matter, though. Sanderson’s death will be a tragic footnote in hockey history and hopefully no one else will suffer the same fate. There’ll be the usual debate in the media and on message boards, and then the storm will pass as it always does, with little action taken to address the issue. Same as it ever, same as it ever was.\n38\n-"}

{"text": "Books set in Sicily – a list of pre-trip reading\nThis post is part of an occasional series where I provide a list of novels or memoirs set in a few of my favourite destinations. In this case, books set in Sicily..\nI didn’t have a chance to read any books set in Sicily before I went there recently, but as I am SURE I will plan a return trip, I’ve made a list of a few titles I’m keen to explore before the next time.\nBooks set in Sicily\nThe Leopard (Il Gattopardo) by Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa (1958)\nOne of the classics of Italian literature, I don’t think my Italian would ever be up to reading the original, so I would need to read Archibald Colquohoun’s English translation. Interestingly, the literal translation of the title is not ‘leopard’, but the smaller serval cat. The publisher of the translated edition says:.\nSweet Sicily: The Story of an Island and Her Pastries by Victoria Granof (2001)\nYou don’t have to restrict yourself to novels and memoirs for your pre-trip reading, and with the pastry desserts of Sicily such a strong part of their food culture, this particular title caught my eye. The publisher says:\nA lushly photographed exploration of the Sicilian tradition of pastry-making, including methods, ingredients, superstitions, and customs surrounding some of the world’s most beautiful and delicious desserts. Sweet Sicily takes readers on a grand tour of the fascinating island of Sicily – to pastry shops as well as convents, restaurants, and private homes – to discover authentic recipes for desserts and pastries. In this charming cookbook, Victoria Granof serves up 106 dishes that she’s redeveloped especially for American kitchens. Along the way, she offers fascinating historical facts about the island of Sicily, it’s people, customs, and the evolution of the pastry tradition, local festivals involving pastries, advice from the cooks themselves, and American sources for ingredients.\nMidnight in Sicily by Peter Robb (1996)\nFirst published in 1996, this non-fiction book tells the story of the Mafia, from its peasant origins through to the 1990s, by juxtaposing essays on food and art with historical accounts such as that of the kidnapping and murder of former Prime Minister Aldo Moro in 1978. The publisher says:\nPeter.\nThe Silent Duchess by Dacia Maraini (2010)\nI love multi-generational family sagas, and this one certainly sounds like it fits the bill. The story is told through the eyes of a deaf-mute Duchess. The publisher says:\nSet in the mid-18th century, Dacia Maraini’s unforgettable novel tells the story of three generations of the Ucria family, seen through the watchful eyes of the deaf-mute Duchess Marianna. Married at 13 to her own uncle and set apart from other people by her disablity, she relentlessly searches for fulfilment in a society where women either face marriage and endless child-bearing or a life of renunciation within the walls of a convent\nBeatrice and Benedick by Marina Fiorato (2014)\nOne of my favourite Shakespeare plays is the comedy, Much Ado About Nothing and it is set in Sicily (as is the first half of The Winter’s Tale). This novel explores the backstory to Much Ado’s lovers Beatrice and Benedick. The publisher says:.\nInspector Montalbano novels by Andrea Camilleri (1994-2015)\nI’ve never read any of these novels, nor watched the TV series, but everyone who does so raves about them. Inspector Montalbano is a fictional Sicilian detective, created by Andrea Camilleri. The series of over 20 novels and novellas have been translated into English, plus many other languages, and are best-sellers in countries right across the world. The publisher says:\nAndrea Camilleri is one of Italy’s most famous contemporary writers. His books have sold over 65 million copies worldwide. He lives in Rome. The Inspector Montalbano series, which began with The Shape of Water, has been translated into 32 Godfather by Mario Puzo (1969)\nAnother classic that I’ve somehow managed to miss reading. The Godfather tells the tale of a fictional Mafia family based in NYC. The head of the family is Don Vito Corleone and this novel covers the years 1945 to 1955, but also provides the back story of Corleone’s childhood (which is where Sicily comes into the story, with Vito Corleone growing up in the Sicilian town of Corleone). Fans of the movies will be interested to know that the two towns which were used for filming the Corleone scenes were actually Forza D’Agro and Savoca (near Taormina). The publisher says about this book:.\nConversations in Sicily by Elio Vittorini (1941)\nThis novel was written during Mussolini’s reign in Italy, and has since been translated and published in English. The main character, Silvestro Ferrauto works as a typesetter in Milan, but revisits Sicily after receiving a letter which reveals that his father has abandoned Ferrauto’s mother. Critics interpret the novel as being anti-fascist, and it certainly contains themes of social injustice. The publisher says:\nVividly.\nSicilian Lives by Danilo Dolci (1960, reprinted in 1981)\nDanilo Dolci was an Italian social activist and sociologist known for his opposition to poverty, social exclusion and the Mafia on Sicily. In the 1950s and 1960s he published a series of books exploring the lives and conditions of Sicilians, and the power of the mafia. The publisher says:.\nThat Summer in Sicily: A Love Story by Marlena de Blasi (2009)\nThis one sounds totally fascinating. It is based on the journey Marlena de Blasi and her husband took to Sicily to research recipes for a new book. While there, they are given directions to the Villa Donnafugata (literally: house of the escaped woman) and she discovers that the castle-like Villa Donnafugata is the home of eighteen widows and seven men who have been taken in by the owner, Tosca. This book tells of how Tosca came to own the villa, and the story of this unique community.

{"text": "Cold Open\nA few years ago I came across a short paper that I desperately wanted to understand. The magnificent title was “An Option Value Problem from Seinfeld” and the author, Professor Avinash Dixit (of Dixit-Stiglitz model fame), therein discussed methods of solving for “sponge-worthiness.” I don’t think I need to explain why I was immediately drawn to an academic article that focuses on Elaine Benes, but for those of you who didn’t learn about the realities of birth control from this episode of 1990’s television, allow me to briefly explain the relevant Seinfeld-ism.\nThe character Elaine Benes loyally uses the Today sponge as her preferred form of contraception. However, one day it is taken off the market and, after trekking all over Manhattan, our heroine manages to find only one case of 60 sponges to purchase. The finite supply of sponges poses a daunting question to Elaine… namely, when should she choose to use a sponge? I.e., when is a given potential partner . But I mean, now I’ve got to re-evaluate my whole screening process. I can’t afford to waste any of ‘em.\n– The Sponge (Seinfeld Season 7 Episode 9)\nAs an undergraduate reading Professor Dixit’s introduction, I felt supremely excited that an academic article was going to delve into the decision-making processes of one of my favorite fictional characters. However, the last sentence in the introduction gave me pause: “Stochastic dynamic programming methods must be used.” Dynamic programming?? Suffice it to say that I did not grasp the methodological context or mathematical machinery embedded in the short and sweet paper. After a few read-throughs, I filed wispy memories of the paper away in some cluttered corner of my mind… Maybe one day this will make more sense to me…\nFlash forward to August 2016. Professor David Laibson, the economics department chair, explains to us fresh-faced G1’s (first-year PhD’s) that he will be teaching us the first part of the macroeconomics sequence… Dynamic Programming. After a few days of talking about Bellman equations, I started to feel as if I had seen related work in some past life. Without all the eeriness of a Westworld-esque robot, I finally remembered the specifics of Professor Dixit’s paper and decided to revisit it with Professor Laibson’s lectures in mind. Accordingly, my goal here is to explain the simplified model set-up of the aforementioned paper and illustrate how basics from dynamic programming can be used in “solving for spongeworthiness.”\nAct One: The Model\nDynamic programming refers to taking a complex optimization problem and splitting it up into simpler recursive sub-problems. Consider Elaine’s decision as to when to use a sponge. We can model this as an optimal stopping problem – ie, when should Elaine use the sponge and thus give up the option value of holding it into the future? The answer lies in the solution to a mathematical object called the Bellman equation, which will represent Elaine’s expected present value of her utility recursively.\nUsing a simplified version of the framework from Dixit (2011), we can explain the intuition behind setting up and solving a Bellman equation. First, let’s lay out the modeling framework. For the sake of computational simplicity, assume Elaine managed to acquire only one sponge rather than the case of 60.1 With that one glorious sponge in her back pocket, Elaine goes about her life meeting potential partners, and yada yada yada… To make the yada yada’s explicit, we say Elaine lives infinitely and meets one new potential partner every day\n$t$ who is of some quality\n$Q_t$. Elaine is not living a regular continuous-time life, instead she gets one romantic option each time period. This sets up the problem in discrete-time since Elaine’s decisions are day-by-day rather than infinitesimally-small-moment-by-infinitesimally-small-moment. If we want to base this assumption somewhat in reality, we could think of Elaine as using Coffee Meets Bagel, a dating app that yields one match per day. I.e., one “bagel” each day.\nDixit interprets an individual’s quality as the utility Elaine receives from sleeping with said person. Now, in reality, Elaine would only be able to make some uncertain prediction of a person’s quality based on potentially noisy signals. The corresponding certainty equivalent (the true quality metric) would be realized after Elaine slept with the person. In other words, there would be a distinction between ex post and ex ante quality assessments—you could even think of a potential partner as an experience good in this sense. (Sorry to objectify you, Scott Patterson.) But, to simplify our discussion, we assume that true quality is observable to Elaine—she knows exactly how much utility she will gain if she chooses to sleep with the potential partner of the day. In defense of that assumption, she does vet potential partners pretty thoroughly.\nDixit also assumes quality is drawn from a uniform distribution over\n$[0,1]$ and that Elaine discounts the future exponentially by a factor of\n$\\delta$ in the interval\n$(0,1)$. Discounting is a necessary tool for agent optimization problems since preferences are time dependent. Consider the following set-up for illustrative purposes: Say Elaine gains\n$X$ utils from eating a box of jujyfruit fruit today, then using our previously defined discount factor, she would gain\n$δX$ from eating the box tomorrow,\n$δ^2X$ from eating it the day after tomorrow, and so on.\nIn general, she gains\n$δ^nX$ utils from consuming it\n$n$ days into the future – thus the terminology “exponential discounting.” Given the domain for\n$δ$, we know unambiguously that\n$X > δX >δ^2X>...$ and on. That is, if the box of candy doesn’t change between periods (it is always\n$X$), (assuming it yields positive utility – which clearly it must given questionable related life decisions) Elaine will prefer to consume it in the current time period. I.e., why wait if there is no gain from waiting?\nOn the other hand, if Elaine wants to drink a bottle of wine today that yields\n$Y$ utils, but the wine improves by a factor of\n$w>1$ each day, then whether she prefers to drink it today or tomorrow depends on whether Y – the present utility gain of the current state of the wine—or\n$δ(wY)$ – the discounted utility gain of the aged (improved) wine—is greater. (I.e., if\n$δw>1$, she’ll wait for tomorrow.) If Elaine also considers up until\n$n$ days into the future, she will be comparing,\n$Y, δ(wY),δ^2X(w^2Y), ...,$ and\n$δ^n(w^nY)$.\nIn our set-up Elaine receives some quality offer each day that is neither static (as in the jujyfruit fruit example) nor deterministically growing (as in the wine example), rather the quality is drawn from a defined distribution (the uniform distribution on the unit interval – mainly chosen to allow for straightforward computations). While quality is observable in the current period, the future draws are not observable, meaning that Elaine must compare her current draw with an expectation of future draws.\nIn short, everyday Elaine has the choice whether to use the sponge and gain\n$Q_t$ through her utility function, or hold the sponge for a potentially superior partner in the future. In other words, Elaine’s current value function is expressed as a choice between the “flow payoff”\n$Q_t$ and the discounted “continuation value function.” Since she is utility maximizing, she will always choose the higher of these two options. Again, since the continuation value function is uncertain, as future quality draws are from some distribution, we must use the expectation operator in that piece of the maximization problem. Elaine’s value function is thus:\n$$V(Q_t)=max\\{Q_t,\\delta EV(Q_{t+1})\\} $$\nThis is the Bellman equation of lore! It illustrates a recursive relationship between the value functions for different time periods, and formalizes Elaine’s decision as a simple optimal stopping problem.\nAct Two: Solving for Sponge-worthiness\nTo solve for sponge-worthiness, we need to find the value function that solves the Bellman equation, and derive the associated optimal policy rule. Our optimal policy rule is a function that maps each point in the state space (the space of possible quality draws) to the action space such that Elaine achieves payoff\n$V(Q_t)$ for all feasible quality draws in\n$[0,1]$. The distribution of\n$Q_{t+1}$ are stationary and independent of\n$Q_t$, as the draws are perpetually from\n$U[0,1]$.2 Due to the aforementioned stationarity and independence, the value of holding onto the sponge\n$δEV(Q_{t+1})$ is constant for all days.\nBy this logic, if a potential partner of quality\n$Q'$ is sponge-worthy, then\n$Q'≥δEV(Q_{t+1})$! Note that for all\n$Q''>Q',Q''>δEV(Q_{t+1})$, so some partner of quality\n$Q''$ must also be considered sponge-worthy. Similarly, if a person of quality\n$Q'$ is not sponge-worthy, then\n$δEV(Q_{t+1}) ≥ Q'$ and for all\n$Q''<Q', Q''<δEV(Q_{t+1})$, so any partner of quality\n$Q''$ must also not be sponge-worthy. Thus, the functional form of the value function is:\n$$\nV(Q_t)=\\begin{cases}\nQ_t & \\text{if } Q_t > Q^*\\\\\nQ^*& \\text{if } Q_t \\leq Q^*\n\\end{cases}\n$$\nIn other words, our solution will be a threshold rule where the optimal policy is to use the sponge if\n$Q_t > Q^*$ and hold onto the sponge otherwise. The free parameter we need to solve for is\n$Q^*$, which we can conceptualize as the all-powerful quality level that separates`the sponge-worthy from the not!\nAct Three: What is\n$Q^*$?\nWhen\n$Q_t= Q^*$, Elaine should be indifferent between using the sponge and holding onto it. This means that the two arguments in the maximization should be equal – that is, the flow payoff\n$Q*$ and the discounted continuation value function\n$δEV(Q_{t+1})$. We can thus set\n$Q^*=δEV(Q_{t+1})$ and exploit the fact that we defined\n$Q \\sim U[0,1]$, to make the following calculations:\n$$Q^*=\\delta EV(Q_{t+1})$$\n$$Q^*=\\delta (\\int_{0}^{Q^*} Q^* d Q_{t+1}+\\int_{Q^*}^{1} Q_{t+1} d Q_{t+1} )$$\n$$Q^*=\\delta ([Q^*Q_{t+1}] \\Big|_0^{Q^*} + [\\frac{(Q_{t+1})^2}{2}] \\Big|_{Q^*}^{1}) $$\n$$Q^*=\\delta (\\frac {{Q^*}^2}{2} +\\frac{1}{2}) $$\n$$\\frac{\\delta {Q^*}^2}{2}-Q^*+\\frac{\\delta}{2}=0$$\n$$Q^*=\\frac{1}{\\delta} \\pm \\sqrt{\\frac{1}{\\delta^2} -1}$$\nThe positive root yields a\n$Q^*>1$, which would mean that Elaine never uses the sponge. This cannot be the optimal policy, so we eliminate this root. In effect, we end up with the following solution for\n$Q^*$:\n$$Q^*=\\frac{1}{\\delta}-\\sqrt{\\frac{1}{\\delta^2} -1}$$\nGiven this\n$Q^*$, it is optimal to use the sponge if\n$Q_t> Q^*$, and it is optimal to hold the sponge\n$Q^*≥Q_t$. Thus, as is required by the definition of optimal policy, for all values of\n$Q_t$:\n$$V(Q_t)=max\\{Q_t, Q^*\\}=max\\{Q_t, \\delta EV(Q_{t+1}) \\}$$\nWe can interpret the way the\n$Q*$ threshold changes with the discount factor\n$δ$ using basic economic intuition. As\n$δ$ approaches\n$1$ (Elaine approaches peak patience),\n$Q^*$ then approaches 1, meaning Elaine will accept no partner but the one of best possible quality. At the other extreme, as\n$δ$ approaches\n$0$ (Elaine approaches peak impatience),\n$Q*$ then approaches\n$0$, meaning Elaine will immediately use the sponge with the first potential partner she meets.\nTo make this visually explicit, let’s use a graph to illustrate Elaine’s value function for some set\n$δ$. Take\n$δ=0.8$, then\n$Q^*=0.5$, a clear-cut solution for the sponge-worthiness threshold. Given these numbers, the relationship between the value function and quality level can be drawn out as such:\nThe first diagram illustrates the two pieces that make up Elaine’s value function, while the second then uses the black line to denote the value function, as the value function takes on the maximum value across the space of quality draws. Whether the value function conforms to the red or green line hinges on whether we are in the sponge-worthy range or not. As explained earlier, before the sponge-worthiness threshold, the option value of holding the sponge is the constant such that\n$Q^*=δEV(Q_{t+1})$. After hitting the magical point of sponge-worthiness, the value function moves one-for-one with\n$Q_t$.\nNote that alternative choices for the discount rate would yield different\n$Q^*$’s, which would shift the red line up or down depending on the value, which in turn impact the leftmost piece of the value function in the second graph. These illustrations are very similar to diagrams we drew in Professor Laibson’s module, but with some more advanced technical graph labelings than what we were exposed to in class (i.e., “no sponge for you” and “sponge-worthy”).\nAct Four: Extensions\nIn our set-up, the dependence of the value function is simple since there is one sponge and Elaine is infinitely lived. However, it could be that we solve for a value function with more complex time and resource dependence. This could yield a more realistic solution that takes into account Elaine’s age and mortality and the 60 sponges in the valuable case of contraception. We could even perform the sponge-worthiness calculations for Elaine’s monotonically increasing string of sponge quantity requests: 3, 10, 20, 25, 60! (These numbers based in the Seinfeld canon clearly should have been in the tabular calculations performed by Dixit.)\nFor computational purposes, we also assumed that quality is drawn independently each period (day) from a uniform distribution on the unit interval. (Recall that a uniform distribution over some interval means that each value in the interval has equal probability.) We could alternatively consider a normal distribution, which would likely do a better job of approximating the population quality in reality. Moreover, the quality of partners could be drawn from a distribution whose bounds deterministically grow over time, as there could be an underlying trend upward in the quality of people Elaine is meeting. Perhaps Coffee Meets Bagel gets better at matching Elaine with bagels, as it learns about her preferences.\nAlternatively, we could try and legitimize a more specific choice of a distribution using proper Seinfeld canon. In particular, Season 7 Episode 11 (“The Wink,” which is just 2 episodes after “The Sponge”) makes explicit that Elaine believes about 25% of the population is good looking. If we assume Elaine gains utility only from sleeping with good looking people, we could defend using a distribution such that 75% of quality draws are exactly 0 and the remaining 25% of draws are from a normal distribution ranging from 0 to 1.3\nRegardless of the specific distribution or time/resource constraint choices, the key take-away here is the undeniably natural formulation of this episode’s plot line as an optimal stopping problem. Throughout the course of our six weeks with Professor Laibson, our class used dynamic programming to approach questions of growth, search, consumption, and asset pricing… while these applications are diverse and wide-ranging, don’t methods seem even more powerful when analyzing fictional romantic encounters!?\nRecap\nSee here for a quick recap of how to solve the problem outlined in this post.\nReferences\nAs explained earlier, this write-up is primarily focused on the aforementioned Dixit (2011) paper, but also draws on materials from Harvard’s Economics 2010D sequence. In particular, “Economics 2010c: Lecture 1 Introduction to Dynamic Programming” by David Laibson (9/1/2016) & “ECON 2010c Section 1” by Argyris Tsiaras (9/2/2016).\n- Dixit assumes she has a general\n$m$sponges in his set-up, so his computations are more complex than mine. ↩\n- Note to the confused reader: don’t think of the space of quality draws as akin to some jar of marbles in conventional probability puzzles – those in which the draw of a red marble means there are less red to draw later – since our distribution does not shift between periods. For more on other possible distributions, see Act Four. ↩\n- Note that Jerry, on the other hand, believes 95% of the population is undateable, so quality draws for Jerry would display an even more extreme distribution – 95% of draws would be 0 and the remaining 5% could come from a normal distribution from 0 to 1. ↩"}

{"text": "Squad Free Download Full PC Game FULL Version Highly Compressed\nSquad download for pc highly compressed is a tactical first-person shooter video game “set in the current modern day environment” developed by the Canadian studio Offworld Industries. It is self-published through Steam It is the spiritual successor to the award-winning Project Reality mod project in Battlefield 2. The game features several playable factions, including various rebels and state forces. Squad was available on Steam Early Access on December 15, 2015, and officially launched on Steam on September 23, 2020.\nSquad Torrent download is a large-scale, multiplayer, first-person shooter that focuses on combat realism through communication, team play, and an emphasis on strong team cohesion mechanisms, as well as coordination, tactics and planning. On a larger scale.\nSquad download pc highly compressed features 20 large open maps, vehicle-based combo weapon sets, and bases designed for players to create a deep, exciting gaming experience with split-second decision-making in real-world shootings.\nSquad pc download Game play:\nSquad pc game free download is a squad-based war game. A single match consists of two fighting factions, each divided into smaller teams that can have a maximum of nine players. Each team consists of individual classes that are chosen by individual players. The classes available include medic, combat engineer, anti-tank specialists, and various types of shooters. A team of players is led by a squad leader who can communicate with other allied team leaders and build firebases and defensive positions like crew-serviced weapons and sandbags.\nSquad highly compressed borrows its gameplay from its predecessor Project Reality, with a heavy emphasis on communication, coordination and teamwork , with matches taking place on large-scale maps of up to 16 square kilometers with many different ground vehicles such as MRAP, IFV, APC, tanks as well as transport helicopters. . The two teams fight to complete different objectives, such as capturing tactical locations, destroying weapons caches, and exhausting enemy reinforcements. You can also check Assassins Creed Highly Compressed download Pc game is the latest generation game developed by Ubisoft Montreal that redefines movement type.\nThe fact that Squad download pc highly compressed walked through Early Access for nearly five years prior to its official launch may tell you something. Like many games that remain in general development for long periods of time, the Ultimate Edition is an embarrassing and edgy puzzle for anyone approaching it for the first time. There is a tutorial that includes a lot of room for you to play with the systems, but there is no way to understand everything without a crash course in wikis, YouTube videos, and friendly veteran players.\nFrom afar, the basics seem deceptively simple. There are several game modes, but they all basically come down to offense and defense. The most common modes (by far) relate to the relaxed and familiar concept of two teams fighting to seize and maintain control points on the map. Success or failure depends entirely on your team’s ability to play the way Squad game download for pc wanted.\nThe two teams of 50 players are divided into teams. Each Squad download for pc highly compressed starts with nine players and is named by one player. There is also a captain elected by voting, who is responsible for directing the general actions of the team. It is similar to the Red Orchestra series in this respect.\nUnless you want to give your soldier a great cardio workout, you will stick with others to take advantage of compounds (of which there are few) when appropriate. If you are brave enough to take the driver’s seat, ground vehicles are awkward but manageable, just like in Battlefield. However, it’s more likely to roll over uneven terrain, as I’ve discovered (and many others), with hilarious consequences. Unlike that game, and oddly enough, for something that presents itself as realistic, even simple environmental elements like trees and fences seem indestructible and can stop a tank in its tracks. As for helicopters, let’s say if you fight the ones in Battlefield, you definitely don’t want to be a Squad download pc game pilot.\nSquad Pc Game Features:\n- 50 against 50: By pitting various dominant and nontraditional factions against each other, Squad highly compressed aims to create authentic combat experiences using the feeling of being part of something bigger than you. Choose a team and be a member of a nine-man squad with your squad to face 50 other players in intense and massive combat environments. The division includes the US Army, Russian Ground Forces, British Army, Canadian Armed Forces, Middle East Alliance, and irregular and insurgent militias with their unique arsenals.\n- System building: Hear the grinding and grinding sound of gears? Do you fear the inevitability of your short life at the end of the barrel of a T-72 main battle tank? Have your squad leader set up an anti-tank guided missile system and remove that annoying tank from the battlefield.

{"text": "George and Kathy’s Wedding day…\nI had been contemplating making this entry Private or Friends Only… but why? What would I save by doing so? To what purpose and end?\nI didn’t have any answers to those questions, so I opted to keep it public for myself and friends who don’t have LJ accounts.\nThe Service was astoundingly beautiful. George was on his best behaviour, and Kathy was stunning, as a bride should be. The Rev. Jeff performed the ceremony, and was the same ‘ol Jeff I remember from years back. It was good to see so many people from my past there. Oddly, I felt no need to rekindle any friendships. Don’t get me wrong, it was fabulous to catch up with everyone, but don’t need to hang out with them until the next wedding or funeral.\nI know the above is short and sweet, and honestly, I don’t care to drone on about how wonderful the cake was, or how fabulous the food was (sorry G, you get to take a back-seat to me in this entry)…. I have other things to talk about which are far more important to me and will show exactly how immature and selfish I am. (How sad is it that my entry about G’s wedding, turns into the trite drivel below…)\nSuffice to say, however, I was patently unprepared for the day ahead of me. Emotionally speaking I mean.\nI was caught off-guard, due to my own inability to remember things told to me. I knew there was a possibility Adam would be at the Bachelor Party… and I had time to deal with that. But he didn’t show, and I completely forgot that if he was invited to the bachelor party, then he would most definitely be invited to the wedding. For some reason, the possibility didn’t even occur to me. Silly, silly me. I was, to understate it, a bit unprepared. And it was an odd feeling, since not a day goes by that I am not reminded of the pain he caused me, constantly on my mind, yet I was completely incapacitated.\nThe result of this wet-ware failure, was a flustered and stammering, less than confident, Jason. Blind-sided by my own synaptic inequities, the rest of the day I was playing at less than par emotionally and mentally.\nAs it turns out, to my own personal dismay, I have not moved past the day 4 and a half years ago when I walked away from Adam as a friend and stopped seeing him as a person and more as an inanimate object devoid of feeling or caring (which, to this day, has never expressed to me any amount of remorse for what he did). I had thought I had moved past things, grown as a person, and was beginning to forgive. Unfortunately, Saturday was the first time I had seen him in the entire time since I walked away, and it seems that I was right back to where I was the day I left his door-step. It was as if not even a day had passed. I was relieved that he didn’t attempt to approach or talk with us, as I fear what my reaction would be. And ultimately, I am disappointed and let down by my fear.\nWe should have left earlier in the day. Earlier and we would have been fine. But alas, we got roped into a final dance by the DJ and then a “Circle of Friends” where the microphone was passed and everyone is expected to say something nice about the Bride and groom in the middle. Pure hell. I had to stand and listen to Adam wax comical about his “best friend” and the bond they shared. My turn came and I stammered, sounding much like Paul Teutul Sr. on American Chopper: “what is, is. And What was Was….”, etc. I could hear myself stammering and when I stopped to think, it just got worse. Wow, a perfect way to end it. At least I know G understood what I was -trying- to say, even if no one else did. But I despise sounding stupid, and especially in front of Adam (who most assuredly reveled in the stumble, silently laughing at the fool I made of myself). I have worked too hard to rise above and make something of myself, just to be let down by a slow mind in a crowded room on an open mic. At that moment, nothing I have achieved mattered; I was still a babbling sophomoric idiot not to be taken with any level or seriousness, or (god forbid) respect. I had achieved nothing.\nEmotionally, the day did a number on me. I repeatedly reminded myself that this was George and Kathy’s day and anything I said or did I would deeply regret later. And that hurt me too. I NEVER have to remind myself of things like that. I try to live without regret and I pride myself on being able to do the right thing in most every situation. And here I was, essentially talking myself down. How utterly disgusting and repulsive to me. Even so, I nearly walked out a few times because of my own inability to deal with my emotions in a mature fashion. All I could really think of was putting a fist through his jaw. And that is the one thought that I was okay with. As wrong as it is. And its the one thought that shows how little I have really changed since elementary school. I know it is wrong, but some how, breaking him physically is the one thing that would make me happy for the moment. And that truly disgusts me too.\nIt was a fairly quiet ride back home. We were both lost in thought.\nLuckily I was able to stifle everything down for a bit and actually have a relaxing dinner later on at Tortilla Flats with Jean and Colleen. The waiter had taken our drink orders and returned with them in-tow to also take our dinner orders. I had downed my Cadillac between the time it hit the table and my turn to order came around. Neither jean nor Colleen even saw me take a sip. Thankfully I didn’t have to wait to long for a second Cadillac to show up at the table. Of any day in my life, this was one of the top few that necessitated a nice strong drink.\nI was able to turn off enough on Saturday evening/night that I rested fairly well and was able to enjoy my company for the evening and on Sunday. Sans a brief episode where I vented to John, I was pretty well able to handle my life again and not allow my focus to be on -me- and my inability to deal with my emotions, but rather to have a good time with good friends and simply relax.\nThere are times when I have it all figured out… then there are other times, like Saturday, when I am clueless to even myself.\nHopefully my next entry will be more enlightening and entertaining.\nAwww, I luv ya man!\nand Jean too!\nand the kitties!\nAnd Terri and Tom too! and their kitties!\nand Colleen too! and her kitties!\nand Hubby(of course!) and our kitties.\nAnd all bullshit aside, you are quite possibly one of the finest people\nI know.\nJust wanted to give you a little cause to grin.\nViva Fraggle Rock!\nAnd grin I did… who knew that fraggles were actually just poofy worms!?!?\nThe sound of worlds colliding\nI am sorry, Jason. I am sorry for the rekindled pain, and for your feeling of being off balance. Let me assure you that I doubt few others of our friends saw that in you.\nWe spoke about this and you seemed so ready to take a step toward him. Not that it would ever be expected of you so to do. When you walked in to the narthex, and he was already there, I thought I might make the inevitable a little more palatable by “introducing” the two of you. But I saw the look in your eyes and realized some of what you have written above. At that point nothing could be done but check in on you occasionally.\nI have to disagree with you, Jason. Growth HAS happened. You were not controlled by your emotions. You went through Hell, yes, but you emerged. You did not strike out. And your words at the closing circle (an event unplanned by us, I must tell you) were touching, clearly heartfelt, and while succinct — rare for you — eloquent.\nWill you be reflecting on this for a while? Yes. Is this a wake-up call to do some more work on yourself? Probably. But did you act like an elementary school kid? No. You appeared to us as a dear friend who liked it better outside than inside. And you were in extraordinary company out there.\nOK, we were a little surprised that you took the snack offered in the service. Not that you should have or shouldn’t have. Just pleased that you felt comfortable doing what you wanted to do.\nAnd forever blessed that you joined us that day.\nSeveral worlds were colliding Saturday. Some collisions were foreseen. Others were not. Some were pleasant meetings of new friends, or people only known previously by reputation. Others were painful reminders of past tragedy. I am so sorry yours was of the latter type.\nPlease tell me that I am not in the category of one you only want to see again at the next funeral or wedding. There are far too many wineries yet to be explored up here. And you will be in town for your Andrew Murray club anyway!\nYours,\nGeorge\nI have serious doubt that you appeared befuddled in any way. Knowing you inasmuch as you have allowed me to, I know that you rarely appear out of complete control. It is not in your nature.\nI’m sure that you prolly appeared more moved with the moment as opposed to the stammering fool in your mind.\nWe all love you. And these issues…hopefully you will be able to put them aside in your mind.\nI’m not good at being profound, but I hope you get my general gist.\nI just have one question…\nWhat are all these Landscapers doin’ here?\nRe: The sound of worlds colliding\nYours is not a friendship that has ever needed to be re-kindled. It has always been burning bright. And you know that. 😛\nI understand that the circle was unplanned by you. I knew that just from the surprise in your eyes when it happened.\nAnd please don’t feel bad or responsible in any way. There was no way you could have changed things. Hell, even _I_ thought I had moved past and was ready… turns out I surprised myself.\nI didn’t actually do what I wanted when presented with communion. I did what would cause me to not have to answer questions about my chosen path. Believe you me, I took the easy way out on this one.\nAnd finally, the above wasn’t written as an account of the entire day, and in no way should require any type of apology from you. It was just an unfortunate collision which I was unprepared for, though was destined to happen at some point. In all honesty, I think I am happy it was within the relative safety of your wedding. At the very least it kept me in check….\nSo thank you. Truly, thank you.\nI get your gist. And thank you. Though this really has nothing to do with being loved by my friends (I rarely doubt that my friends like me), it IS an unfortunate mix of caring what people think of me, and feeling lame at the same time.\nThanks. 🙂 I think that is the best I can say.\nOh..no…I realize it has nothing to do with your friends loving you. I just wanted to tell you\n♥"}

{"text": "Seventeen young people from West Wales are currently benefiting from training and work experience in Pembrokeshire’s vital tourism sector thanks to an initiative being run by one of the area’s largest employers.\nUp to thirty 16-to-24-year-olds will eventually benefit from the UK-government Kickstart programme being run by Bluestone National Park Resort near Narberth, with management at the resort praising the hard work and determination so far that the individuals have put into their roles.\nThe programme is one part of the Bluestone Academy, an initiative set up by the short-break resort to support job and career opportunities in West Wales. Kickstart, in conjunction with JobCentre Plus, aims to get unemployed young people on Universal Credit and at risk of long-term unemployment onto a work-based training placement.\nAt the end of their experience, they can apply for a job at Bluestone. They are also offered free transport to and from work along with other employees. This helps reduce the barrier of getting to work for many people.\n“Many of these young people have not been given a chance to demonstrate their abilities in a work environment for various reasons,” said Helen John, Academy Manager at Bluestone.\n“Kickstart gives them a chance to undertake a structured six-month work and training programme, providing an insight into the opportunities that are available to them now and in the future.”\n“We’ve been amazed at the enthusiasm and professionalism many of these young people have shown during their time with us. It’s demonstrated how many young people can fall between gaps when it comes to employment.”\nMolly, who joined the programme in July has already been offered a job at the resort’s Well Spa as a therapist.\n“I would never have considered a role like this before. As soon as I began working here, I realised it was something that I enjoyed and wanted to do as a job,” said Molly. “The experience would not have been possible without Bluestone, and I wouldn’t be in the lucky position I am now with a full-time job to look forward to.”\nBluestone is providing training and experience in a wide range of careers. These include sustainability, IT, marketing, guest services, maintenance, leisure, hospitality, and retail.\nOscar has been working in the Food and Beverage department. Often a fast-paced environment, his personality and nature has helped him gain the admiration of colleagues and guests at the resort.\nHis whole department nominated him for Employee of the Month because of the positive feedback from customers.\n“I like dealing with and talking to people. The training and experience I’ve gained has opened my eyes to the range of jobs I can do and enjoy, whilst being paid. I’ve never been given such an opportunity before,” said Oscar.\nHelen said the Kickstart programme has been extended until March 2022 with additional funding from the UK government and we are looking to employ a further two cohorts of young people before this deadline.\nShe added:\n“We believe their training and work experience will benefit tourism and hospitality businesses throughout West Wales as well as giving so many young people the opportunity of an exciting and rewarding career.”\nMore details about careers at Bluestone, including opportunities through the Bluestone Academy and Kickstart programme can be found at ."}
