"Having already amassed a pocketful of Top 40 hits on the national country singles chart — including a pair of No. 1s with “Crazy Girl” and “Even If It Breaks Your Heart” — the Eli Young Band has proven itself to be the Texas country band of the last decade with the longest reach across the state lines. That their songs appeal to everyone from college kids to soccer moms to radio programmers effectively certifies them as mainstream, and to call them that is not a slight. Anyone can just aim for the middle ground; but to master it at the level they have, using their slick, guitar-driven rock aesthetic showing hints of twang here and there to polish off hit after memorable hit takes real know-how and commitment. Hell, if it was easy, you can bet they’d have a lot more Texas company with them out there in radio land.\n\nThe new 10,000 Towns finds the Eli Young Band picking up right where 2011’s Life at Best left off, gathering steam and sounding sleeker and more focused in their pursuit of chart-toppers by the mile. Frontman Mike Eli’s vocals have grown stronger and continue to proffer a quality of aching sincerity, and the hooks are reliably catchy and primed for the airwaves. Of course, generally standard country-flavored themes remain the order of the day here, both lyrically and stylistically. The album’s second single, “Dust,” is about a girl leaving town to chase her dream, while the small-town-slice-of-life laundry list title track (penned by noted hit maker Craig Wiseman) and the smash single “Drunk Last Night” deliver their lines in the currently fashionable pseudo hip-hop manner that’s made Luke Bryan a superstar. That kind of stuff might not win them much cred with the “Nashville sucks” types back home, but then again, the Eli Young Band left Denton in the dust to chase their dreams a long time ago, and on 10,000 Towns they sound very much like a band that knows where it wants to go and exactly how to get there. — KELLY DEARMORE"

"Afghans have been caught in a vise of lost employment from decreased U.S. military expenditures in the country and a decrease in foreign aid expenditures. The withdrawal of security forces is also linked to increased violence in the country, leading to additional economic instability.\n\nThough President Obama gave the order to slow the withdrawal of non-combat troops from the country in July, the drawdown continues. The new plan involves keeping 8,400 troops in Afghanistan into 2017, down from the current number of 10,000.\n\nThis news comes at a time when many Afghans rely on employment in service industries surrounding the foreign military presence in Afghanistan which stems back nearly 15 years.\n\nThe sluggish economic growth and pronounced unemployment in Afghanistan has led to a spike in poverty as the rate increased from 35.8 percent in 2011-12 to 39.1 percent in 2013-14.\n\nFaced with unemployment, poverty and violence, many young people in Afghanistan have made the choice to flee the country. Seeking a better life in Europe and the U.S., the young workers have joined the stream of refugees fleeing conditions in the Middle East.\n\nAccording to the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees, Afghans made up about 20 percent of the over 1 million refugees arriving in Europe in 2015. Many of those leaving are young adults who are desperately needed to help rebuild the war-torn country. Efforts by the Afghan government to stem the exodus have not found success.\n\nSpeaking about the unemployment crisis, former U.S. ambassador to Afghanistan James Cunningham said, “Everybody anticipated that this was going to be a problem because of the drop-off in the economic opportunity after the bulk of international forces were transiting out. Unfortunately, the government effort to reorganize itself to deal with the economy didn’t materialize as they had hoped.”\n\nContinued unemployment in Afghanistan will bolster instability as additional people flee the country or become susceptible to extremism. It remains to be seen if the country will descend into the same failed-state status it held prior to the U.S. invasion in 2001."

"Pianist Alexander Melnikov has come up with one of the still-young year’s most compelling discs, Deutsche Grammophon releases an aural train wreck.\n\nAlexander Melnikov takes a fairly academic question – how do the physical properties and limitations of a given instrument effect the outcome of a composition – and turns it into one of the still-young year’s most compelling discs. How does he do it?\n\nFour Pianos, his survey (on Harmonia Mundi) of music by Schubert, Chopin, Liszt, and Stravinsky features one piece by each composer played on an instrument similar (or identical) to the ones they were written and/or premiered on. From a technical and aural standpoint, the differences are often striking.\n\nIn Schubert’s Wanderer Fantasie, this means keyboard playing of much greater technical exposure than you’d hear on a modern instrument: there are few places to hide on this piano (a ca. 1830 Alois Graff keyboard from Vienna) and its sonic profile is narrower. Harmonically, though, there’s a strong sense of progression, of each key occupying its own, distinct tonal ground. Thus, the contrast between the first movement’s opening, bright C major and the second’s C-sharp minor (for one example) stand in sharp relief.\n\nChopin’s op. 10 Etudes (played on an 1837 Érard) share a similar harmonic richness, movement-to-movement, and also a stirring warmth of tone.\n\nLiszt’s Réminiscences de Don Juan are played on a more modern instrument (here an 1875 Bösendorfer) and the greater intensity, in both the music’s passions and the keyboard’s attack, is striking. So are the instrument’s resonant capabilities, which give the score’s biggest moments a booming, orchestral heft.\n\nStravinsky’s Trois mouvements de Pétrouchka share quite a bit – from gestures to textures – with the Liszt, though Melnikov’s last piano (a 2014 Steinway) offers the most regulated control over the instrument’s technical capabilities.\n\nRegardless of those mechanical differences, Melnikov consistently turns in exciting interpretations. The Schubert positively shines once one gets used to the instrument’s rather condensed projection: the triplet arpeggios near the end of the third movement and the whole of the finale sparkle. His Chopin is similarly brilliant and elegant, even if the first Etude almost runs off the tracks. Wit and virtuosity are the hallmarks of the Liszt and Stravinsky selections: from the variations on “La ci darem la mano” in the former to raucous finale of the latter, Melnikov’s performances are powerfully played and smartly shaped, always drawing out the coloristic strengths of the instrument at hand.\n\nAlexander Melnikov’s performances are powerfully played and smartly shaped, always drawing out the coloristic strengths of the instrument at hand.Click To Tweet\n\nIn all, then, Melnikov demonstrates a staggering progression, not so much of technique (all four works traffic, interestingly, in similar, if not identical, demands) as of the piano’s capabilities: it’s all but impossible to imagine the Stravinsky, for instance, played on the Graff keyboard (and not just because its range is too small). On top of that, his performances are vigorous, insightful, and emotionally honest, a perfect example of musical excellence and historical awareness feeding off one another to add up to more than the sum of their parts.",

"What does one do with a CD that’s got a strong performance but is terribly recorded? That’s the dilemma with Deutsche Grammophon’s (DG) new recording of Leonard Bernstein’s Mass.\n\nIndeed, the playing and singing, from what one can make of it, is quite good. Yes, some tempos are too fast and there are a few moments of discoordination between singers and instruments (it’s was taped live). But, on the whole, conductor Yannick Nézet-Séguin and the Philadelphia Orchestra have a good handle on Bernstein’s style, play with a strong sense of rhythm and color, and shift between Mass’s eclectic mix of genres fluently.\n\nOn top of that, the singing’s mostly impressive. Tenor Kevin Vortmann makes for a sympathetic Celebrant, with a beautifully-sung “Simple Song,” and fervent “Lord’s Prayer” and “I Go On.” The climactic breakdown scene is a bit on the light side, at least compared to Alan Titus or Jubilant Sykes in the part, but Vortmann’s grows in intensity as it progresses.\n\nThe many lesser roles are, by and large, well-cast, though there’s some unevenness part-to-part (as is the case in every recording yet made of Mass).\n\nAll that good is for naught, though, thanks to the recording’s engineering.\n\nVoices and instruments are often badly unbalanced. Lots of moments are simply shrill or too forceful: the marching band in the “Prefatory Prayers”; brass and winds, generally; the handful of appearances of the organ (in the “Confiteor” and “Sanctus,” especially; in “Things Get Broken” less so).\n\nBernstein’s percussion writing, especially, seems to throw DG’s engineers for a loop. As a rule, it’s over-present: in the first set of tropes, for just one example, the ride cymbal and high hat are annoyingly in the foreground, at one point (“Easy”), almost covering the piano (which is providing the singers their primary accompaniment).\n\nThen there’s the problem of amplification. Take the Second Introit (“In nomine Patris”), where the mens’ voices (mic-ed) overwhelm the boys’ choir, which, as a result, sounds like its singing from a room across the hall with the door closed; ditto for the “Gloria tibi.” The Epistle readings are distant and some of the later tropes (“World Without End,” “I Believe in God”) suffer from the impression that vocalist and orchestra are singing/playing at one another rather than together. The “Agnus Dei” is a textural muddle. One could go on, but by now you probably get the point.\n\nThis is a double shame because Mass was the only major Bernstein score DG didn’t have in its discography: this album completes the Yellow Label’s recorded Bernstein catalogue – but what a sad way to wrap it up. Oh well. Alsop (on Naxos) and Lenny himself (on Sony Classical) still tower over this aural train wreck. Stick with them."

"Carnival Row hit Amazon Prime Video this weekend and tells the story of a police officer trying to stop a murderer in a community where there is a constant battle between humans and the fae refugees from a war-torn land.\n\nOne of the more interesting characters in the series is Tourmaline Larou, a faerie that is portrayed by Karla Crome. Here is everything you need to know.\n\nCarnival Row sees murders shaking up the community in a town where fae live among humans. However, humans hate the refugees and their conflict threatens to overflow if the police can’t stop the killer.\n\nTourmaline Larou is a very tough and strong-willed faerie. She looks out for Vignette (Cara Delevingne), who is the connection between the fae and the police officer investigating the murders.\n\nShe is a roommate to Vignette, and while they hated each other at the start since they came from different backgrounds, they became close.\n\nTourmaline does one of the only things that fae can do in the world of humans — work in a w***ehouse.\n\nWho is Karla Crome?\n\nCrome is a British actress who hasn’t worked much in the United States and might be unfamiliar to many fans on this side of the Atlantic.\n\nShe only has one feature-length movie in her filmography but that was Vita and Virginia, which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival. Crome was able to work alongside big-name actresses like Isabella Rossellini, Elizabeth Debicki and Gemma Arterton.\n\nMost of Crome’s work has been on television.\n\nFans in the United States might recognize her from her role as Rebecca Pine in the Stephen King television adaptation Under the Dome, which saw her in 13 episodes of the second season.",

"Significant damage has been reported after a tsunami hit the Pacific island nation of Tonga, but communications problems are making getting the full picture difficult.\n\nThe Hunga Tonga-Hunga Haapai volcano erupted on Sunday, about 65km (40 miles) north of the capital Nuku’alofa.\n\nThe eruption, which was heard as far away as the US, caused waves higher than a metre to crash into Tonga.\n\nSo far there have been no confirmed reports of injuries or deaths.\n\nFriends and family of a British woman, Angela Glover, say she is missing.

"Protestors march against a grand jury's decision not to indict the police officer involved in the death of Eric Garner, Thursday, Dec. 4, 2014, in New York. A grand jury cleared a white New York City police officer Wednesday in the videotaped chokehold death of Garner, an unarmed black man, who had been stopped on suspicion of selling loose, untaxed cigarettes, a lawyer for the victim's family said. (AP Photo/John Minchillo)(Photo: AP)\n\nFederal leaders must hear and reaffirm that call by providing assurances in Ferguson, Missouri, New York City and across the nation that America's criminal justice system is truly one of \"justice for all.\"\n\nAfter all, Wednesday's decision by a Staten Island grand jury not to indict Officer Daniel Pantaleo in the death of a 43-year-old father of six, Eric Garner, followed closely a similar decision in Ferguson. Conflicting accounts surround the Ferguson incident, in which 18-year-old Michael Brown was shot six times by officer Darren Wilson. But Garner's arrest and death after being put in a choke hold was captured on a chilling video, in which he can be heard to gasp repeatedly, \"I can't breathe.\"\n\nTaken alone, the dual decisions against even putting the officers on trial in the high-profile cases were enough to send protesters into the streets nationwide. But they are not the lone recent examples of a criminal justice system that often appears to ill-treat Americans of color.\n\nJust last week, for example, a Phoenix police officer fatally shot an unarmed African-American man during an altercation, and a scathing Department of Justice report found that Cleveland police regularly use excessive and unnecessary force.\n\nFor trust to be restored, this ongoing litany must be halted and countered.\n\nJustice Department investigations into both the Michael Brown and Eric Garner deaths can help by providing much-needed — and perhaps more subjective — second looks. Too, House Speaker John Boehner has not ruled out congressional hearings, another potential avenue for answering some of the questions that would have been addressed at trials.\n\nMore importantly, efforts to improve policing practices going forward have been offered. Gov. Andrew Cuomo's call Thursday for a comprehensive review of state policies for police and grand juries — with an eye toward reforms — could bear welcome fruit. And New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio has ordered retraining for the city's 22,000 officers.\n\nFor the nation's police forces to be effective, perceptions of mistreatment and lack of accountability must be overcome."

"Two former bosses of DFCU bank were yesterday charged before the anti –corruption court chief magistrate. The two, Robert Kantuntu former managing director and Godfrey Lule the banks former head of treasury both denied the charges and where released on Ugx. 3 million cash bail each.\n\nGodfrey is alleged to have frauduately directed DFCU staff to exchange Global Fund money into local currency at inflated foreign exchange rates on several occasions. For instance, in April 2004, prosecution alleges that he converted US $1 million at Ugx. 1920 each which was higher than the normal rate of Ugx. 1,908 per dollar giving an illicit difference of Ugx, 12 million shillings making an illicit differences of Ugx. 48m, Ugx. 56m and Ugx. 15m. In other similar cases where as Katuntu is accused of approving instructions directing DFCU staff to carry out these transactions converting Global Fund dollars at inflated rates. He is also accused of paying brokers with money raised by Godfrey Lule in one case paying up to Ugx. 56 million and the other Ugx. 35 million.\n\nI shall keep you updated on this matter.

"The iPad Pro is, at first glance, completely crazy. A giant iPad with all the limitations of iOS, coupled with added bulk that makes it harder to tote, and a price tag that starts at Rs. 70,000, all make it a hard sell. That's only the starting price though, and you're going to end up paying a lot more for this tablet."

"What is femtech and how is it closing the gender health gap?\n\nGadgets and apps supporting women’s health have grown in number during the pandemic. We look at what they offer, why they’re proving so popular, and whether your personal data stays safe.\n\nFrom sleep tracking to blood glucose monitoring, technology is rapidly coming to the forefront of healthcare innovation. Over the pandemic, there’s been a growth in the femtech sector — technology associated with women’s health. A number of Femtech startups are creating gadgets and apps to support female health, with features like hormone tracking and fertility support. It has a lot of potential too: the sector is predicted to be worth £36bn a year by 2025 — could it be what the UK needs to close the gender health gap?\n\nWhy is femtech growing so quickly?\n\nEmilie Lavinia, a marketing consultant who works with femtech start-ups, says the growth in this market has been a response to the realisation that many women have “compromised self-care and professional development” in order to shoulder more responsibility.\n\nOver the pandemic, women have had to juggle home, family and work all at the same time — often taking on more than male partners, with the impact predicted to set gender equality back by 25 years, according to a UN report in November 2020. Not only that, but women are facing delays in cervical screenings, breast check-ups and scans due to the impact of Covid-19. This all adds up to women not getting full access to healthcare — something Femtech aims to change.\n\n“This sort of technology presents solutions to the problems this sort of inequality creates — which were much easier to ignore before the pandemic,” says Emilie. The past year has been an opportunity for companies to “solve and capitalise on” gender health inequalities, she argues.\n\nSylvia Kang, CEO of hormone-tracker app Mira, believes the pandemic forced women to seek remote or home support when they had healthcare needs. “With fertility treatments delayed or completely halted due to the pandemic, many women started to seek alternatives,” she says. Mira is an AI-powered hormone tracker that measures the exact number of hormone concentration in urine, pinpointing a full fertile window and pregnancy status with a 99% accuracy.\n\nAnother product currently in development is Béa Fertility, an at-home device designed to ‘bring the fertility clinic home’ by allowing for intracervical insemination, which sees semen held against the cervix for an extended amount of time (usually four to 12 hours). In doing so, the company hopes to make fertility treatments cheaper, more accessible and inclusive, but it won’t be on the market until 2022.\n\nIn the meantime, some of the best apps currently include the likes of Clue and Flo — which can track ovulation and your periods, as well as providing supplementary health information.\n\nRead more: How the menstrual cycle impacts your ability & motivation to exercise\n\nAccording to a report by BIS Research, there are around 200 femtech start-ups worldwide — 92% of which are founded and led by women. But, of course, this figures don’t show whether or not product and tech development is being done by women.\n\nMerle Hall, CEO of product design consultancy Kinneir Dufort, says: “The product design industry is heavily involved in female health tech but only 5% of its workers in the UK are female.” She believes it’s important to have female representation at all points of creation. “Women bring their lived experience to the innovation process and are more likely to consider the subtle but essential requirements of other women,” she says.\n\nA major concern surrounding femtech is data privacy — after all, these apps store a lot of sensitive information that could be at risk of being leaked. Which? recently revealed that some health apps had ‘security holes that could be exposed by cybercriminals’, and in 2019 the period-tracker app Flo was shown to be sharing data with Facebook, when it had said it wouldn’t."

"City of London philanthropic network The October Club is inviting applications from eligible small charities to be its charity of the year. Their focus is on finding a transformational charity, and last year’s recipient received £600,000.\n\nThe network is inviting applications from UK-based small charities who are both “doing remarkable work” and which have “the ambition to extend this”. The funding is for a transformational project based across several UK regions, and should be used within three years.\n\nThey are clear that they mean transformational in terms of the charity chosen, not the service users concerned.\nTo be eligible charities should have an annual voluntary income of between £500,000 and £2 million.\n\nThe successful charity will normally not be working in the same field as the Club’s beneficiaries in the past two years. However, the Club’s Chairman commented:\n\n“We are really focused on find the right clearly transformational project so while its true that its tough for a charity to win if we have raised money for similar in last two years I wouldn’t want to put anyone off from applying in they have a great project”.\n\nThe October Club has been raising funds for their chosen annual charity for over 28 years. It has now raised over £10 million to help innovative fledgling charities climb to a new level, whether through kick-starting groundbreaking research, raising profiles or enabling brave expansion plans.\n\nThe funds are raised by an annual dinner attended by around 400 largely City-based individual. It has become known as the City’s Equity Business “Trade association event”. A sell-out each year, this year it will take place at The Savoy in London on 12 October.\n\nIn 2015 the event raised a record £600,000 for Honeypot Children’s Charity which works to enhance the lives of vulnerable children and young carers aged 5-12 years by providing respite breaks and on-going outreach support.\nIn addition, the October Club runs an Ascot Race Day to raise further funds.\n\nA great deal of due diligence goes into the selection of the charity. Mark Pumfrey, Chair of The October Club, is particularly pleased that over the past 28 years all but one of the charities selected have achieved a transformation and are still providing their services.\n\nApplications to be The October Club’s 2016 chosen charity are open now and close on 18 March 2016.\n\nUK Fundraising asked Auditory Verbal UK‘s Chief Executive Anita Grover about the application process and benefits of being chosen by The October Club.\n\nWhat has support from the October Club enabled you to achieve?\n\nThe October Club has given us not just the financial support, but the confidence, connections and the platform to turn our ambitions into a reality. It has been an incredible opportunity for a small charity like ours made it possible for us to help many more deaf children to have the same opportunities in life as hearing children. You can find out more in our impact video on the October Club website.\n\nHow did you hear about the October Club?\n\nWhat was the application process like, given that you are a small charity?\n\nThe guidelines are very clear. The application requires the charity to set out its transformational project and background simply and succinctly.\n\nWe were able to provide links to additional background material available on our website. The final stage interview consisted of a presentation and Q&A with the Committee members, which gave us the opportunity to expand on the work that we do and our ‘pyramid project’ to increase access to our early intervention programme for deaf children in the UK.\n\nI understand at first you thought that your project and organisation were not right for the funder. What changed your mind? And what would be your advice to charities in a similar position?\n\nI was initially concerned that the project may not be sufficiently attractive but I reviewed the range of projects that the October Club had previously supported – all of which were transformational for the different charities.\n\nI knew that our project was critical for taking our small charity to the next level and would provide the building blocks for helping many more deaf children to have the same opportunities in life as hearing children.\n\nHas the October Club brought other contacts, non-monetary support and opportunities?",

"While trepanation may have had a spiritual significance, amputations were practical and essential in nature. Amputation, or the removal of a limb, was necessary in the case of severe injury or infection to a limb. The first amputations were likely performed in the Neolithic period; however, there’s no evidence of the patient surviving, and there’s a story of amputation told in the Indian Rig-Vega, dating to between 3,500 and 1,800 BCE.\n\nBy the time of Classical Greece, in the 5th century, surgeons provided clear explanations and instructions on amputation in cases of gangrene, explaining that the diseased tissue must be fully removed. Up until 100 CE, the operation was solely used to manage gangrene; however, after that time, it was also used to treat injury or other conditions. Hot oil and cauterization were used to prevent excess bleeding and infection; however, the risks were quite significant.\n\nThe introduction of gunpowder and firearms increased the need for amputation after the 14th century; however, the basic procedures were largely unchanged until improvements in tourniquets in the late 17th and early 18th centuries. Amputation procedures improved throughout the 19th century; however, mortality rates remained quite high, with deaths totaling around 85 percent during the Napoleonic Wars.\n\nAmputation techniques and survival improved significantly following the introduction of both anesthesia and antiseptic practices in the 19th century. Increased survival also led to the development of improved prostheses. The majority of amputees prior to the Civil War likely had no access to prosthetics."

null,
"Although controversial, glyphosate is a legal ingredient in many common herbicides. (Photo: Amy Bennett Williams/The News-Press)\n\nA chemical used to kill pesky weeds that has come under heavy scrutiny nationwide will no longer be used by the Kitsap County government.\n\nThe citizen-formed Kitsap Environmental Coalition spent 10 months campaigning to end the spraying of glyphosate by county workers. Now, a county resolution prevents staff from spraying the weed-killing chemical on all county-owned and maintained property and rights of way.\n\nIt may only be used for targeted removal of noxious weeds or as a “tool of last resort,\" according to the resolution.\n\nThe change will mainly affect the public works and parks departments, according to Kitsap County Commissioner Rob Gelder.\n\nThe Kitsap Environmental Coalition was formed by North Kitsap residents who were opposed to the aerial spraying of glyphosate by Pope Resources over 330 acres of its harvested timberland last summer. The spraying was intended to kill off other vegetation as the timber company prepared to plant new seedlings.\n\n“It started with a group of concerned North Kitsap residents last August, following the clear cuts by Pope Resources in the area, and discovering they had a permit to aerially spray glyphosate over several hundred acres over the aquifers with drinking water,” Keeley said.\n\nGlyphosate is an herbicide that has been widely used since 1974 to kill unwanted plants, according to the National Pesticide Information Center. It inhibits plants from creating proteins needed for growth and will kill most types of plants. Among the most well-known brands is Roundup, a product from Monsanto.\n\nThere is widespread disagreement over its safety.\n\nThe National Pesticide Information Center, a cooperative between Oregon State University and the Environmental Protection Agency, concludes that glyphosate is unlikely to pollute groundwater since it binds tightly to soil. The EPA contends it provides no risk to human health from current uses.\n\nMonsanto, now owned by Bayer, has become the target of thousands of lawsuits, primarily from landscape workers who have used Roundup for several years and have developed health issues or cancer, which they see as a result of the company’s negligence in warning about risks of exposure. The company has paid millions in settlements.\n\n'It’s being used too much'\n\nDana Coggon, the county’s noxious weed coordinator, said glyphosate can be useful in some circumstances. Her department uses less than 2 gallons on average every year and is exempted from the ordinance's restrictions. She describes her department as the “CDC of the plant world” and says certain noxious weeds are like “polio or ebola.” These invasive weeds are aggressive and can harm both humans and the environment, and it's her department's job to remove them.\n\n“We know these plants can’t be removed just by hand-pulling, it’s just not effective,” Coggon said. “With a small amount of targeted herbicide, we know it goes to the root of the problem, pun intended.”\n\nBut Coggon shares the concern about the use of glyphosate by the public. She stresses that people need to read the label to see how often and where to use chemicals like glyphosate and to always wear gloves.\n\n“I actually wholeheartedly agree it’s being used too much,” Coggon said. “I think having it available to the general public is something I’d like to see us re-evaluate.”",

California regulators are taking a pivotal step toward requiring the popular weed killer Roundup to come with a warning label. The state's Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment announced Monday, June 26, 2017, that the weed killer's main ingredient, glyphosate, will be listed in July as a chemical known to cause cancer. (AP Photo/Reed Saxon) (Photo: Reed Saxon, AP)\n\nOther Kitsap municipalities have stopped using the herbicide or scaled back its use.\n\nMilenka Hawkins-Bates, Bremerton street operations manager, said the city uses glyphosate only periodically and publishes a legal notice to alert the public ahead of the spraying. Residents can also opt to be on a \"no-spray list.\"\n\nKeeley said the cumulative exposure to chemicals like glyphosate is what’s most concerning to her, as well as drift from chemicals being sprayed over fields.\n\n“We’ve got some really wonderful and valiant organic farmers in the county who are trying to provide alternatives to Lay’s potato chips, or just make apples or food safe to eat,” Keeley said. “But when commercial foresters come in and spray from helicopters their drift comes into the farm.”\n\nKeeley wishes more would use weed-killing alternatives, such as agricultural vinegar, mulching, mechanical removal or even getting a goat or two.\n\nGelder said finding cost-effective alternatives that can be used by the county is the biggest challenge with the switch.\n\nCoggon said many alternatives don’t get to the root system or they are “soil-mobile,” meaning they don’t bind to the soil and have a tendency to move into waterways, which can also be problematic.\n\n“We have to use chemicals like that to combat noxious weeds we deal with,” said Coggon. “We also have to track things we do, and I’d like to see people doing the same.”\n\nShe suggests treating glyphosate similarly to the over-the-counter medicines cold containing pseudoephedrine (which can be used in the production of methamphetamine), so consumers would have to sign a form with how much they’re using and show identification.\n\nThe Kitsap Environmental Coalition is calling on elected officials to go further.\n\n“They don’t have the right to chemically trespass. We’d go to jail if we dumped arsenic in someone’s yard. So, we think it’s time to turn that around.”\n\nIt has asked the Kitsap Public Health to pursue a ban on the sale and use of the herbicide in the county.\n\nKitsap Public Health District Administrator Keith Grellner said the health district has requested legal guidance regarding its authority to restrict the use of specific products.\n\nKitsap County's resolution also calls for encouraging and educating private companies and citizens about alternatives to glyphosate, and to work with the Kitsap County Prosecutor's Office to determine whether the county could restrict use beyond county-owned and maintained property.\n\n“Basically we’re getting a better understanding of local county authority to ban use beyond our own operations and property,” Gelder said.\n\nKeeley said the coalition hopes that means the county will look at its role in enforcing existing codes regarding chemical pollution, particularly with commercial foresters.\n\n“When their practices contaminate aquifers and canals, etc., we think their rights as private corporations end there,” Keeley said. “They don’t have the right to chemically trespass. We’d go to jail if we dumped arsenic in someone’s yard. So, we think it’s time to turn that around.”\n\nThe Kitsap Environmental Coalition previously succeeded in getting the North Kitsap School District to halt its use of glyphosate. It also encouraged the Kitsap Public Utility District to start a program to test water wells in North Kitsap for glyphosate. Now, the PUD tests twice a year at three different well sites. The first results just came back and were negative, according to Mark Morgan, KPUD water resources manager."

The suspect was then taken to a hospital for evaluation, police said.\n\nAfterward, the police’s Special Operations Bureau checked the apartment for weapons and anything that may have been hazardous.\n\nThe initial call came in after someone doing pest control work in the building went to an apartment. The apartment’s resident then pulled out a gun and the exterminator fled, police said.",

"Youth travel sports enjoy huge popularity, with cities and towns across the United States building sports complexes to lure teams and tournaments and the big bucks they attract.\n\nHowever, the growth of the multibillion-dollar industry has come at the expense of thousands of children who would love to bat, shoot, pass and tackle but lack the financial wherewithal to seize that opportunity. The pay-to-play model and the early focus on sports specialization that is fueling the travel team boom is leaving many kids sitting on the bench.\n\nThe Big Vision Foundation has stepped up to the plate to give some of these kids a chance. The nonprofit organization, which operates the Big Vision Sports Complex in Berks County, Pennsylvania, launched a program in fall 2017 that allows players to put in community service hours to cover registration fees.\n\nCalled “Work Hard, Play Hard,” the program went into full effect just this season. “It’s really worked out great,” said Dan Clouser, the foundation’s president. Big Vision uses an age-based sliding scale to determine the work requirements. Players who are 10 to 12 years old are required to donate 10 hours per season, 13- and 14-year-olds must give 15 hours and those who are 16 and above must donate 20 hours.\n\n“We’ve had quite a few kids who have gone over their hours and are doing it simply because they enjoy it,” Clouser said. “We’ve got a 130-acre sports complex here. What’s really neat is to see them take ownership in the complex. When they’re here on a weekend tournament, after a game they’ll be walking to their car and you’ll see them stop and pick up a piece of trash and throw it in the trash can.”\n\nMuch of the community service work is done at the complex, Clouser said. The chores include grooming a baseball infield, pulling weeds from a warning track and painting. Big Vision also works with outside nonprofits such as the local YMCA, which had children participate in a Polar Plunge fundraiser on St. Patrick’s Day at nearby Blue Marsh Lake.\n\nOne benefit of the community service program is that it has enabled kids from diverse backgrounds not only to play together but also to become friends off the field, Clouser said. There were seven baseball teams and two softball teams going into the fall 2018 season, with one team playing into November. “These kids from different backgrounds, different cultures and different socioeconomic statuses use the game as a common ground to realize, at the end of the day, they’re all just a bunch of kids who enjoy playing the game,” said Clouser. The program has allowed the kids “to shut everything else out that they’re hearing on the outside as to why they shouldn’t get along with a kid that doesn’t look like them,” he said. As a result, they’ve come to realize “we really do have a lot in common even outside just our love of the game,” he said, adding that the kids often play video games or go to the movies together.\n\n“When I was growing up, we didn’t have all these travel teams that cost you $1,000 or $1,500 to play on a team, which marginalizes people right out of the gate,” Clouser said. “That’s one of the reasons we implemented what we did.”"

"If I had a quarter for every time I asked someone what their major was and they let out this huge sigh and said, “It’s complicated,” I would have money for a parking meter for the rest of my life. It’s overwhelming to decide at 18 what you’re going to do for the next 50ish years. I have changed my major a thousand times, and it was always a battle between satisfying myself, my parents, and God.\n\nWhen I started college, my main goal was to pick something that was fun, that would always be different, and that wouldn’t eventually be boring, so I picked the most random thing: interior design. I have no idea what I was thinking with that. I liked HGTV, I guess.\n\nA few weeks into my first semester a friend asked me, “How do you plan to glorify God and further His Kingdom with that career?” I thought, “What the heck kind of question is that? Your job and the rest of your life are separate.”\n\nWake up call: they shouldn’t be.\n\n“And whatever you do or say, do it as a representative of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father.” – Colossians 3:17\n\nI decided that interior design wasn’t where God wanted to use me (not to say that He can’t be glorified in that field, I just wasn’t meant to do it). So I changed my major again, but instead of asking God where He wanted me, I tried to squeeze Him into where I wanted to be.\n\nI struggled so much with finding jobs that “specifically” glorified God and thought that if I didn’t work in a church, no other job would be good enough for Him. It took me a while to realize that you don’t have to work in a church to glorify God in the workplace.\n\n“Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will be established.” – Proverbs 16:3\n\nIt wasn’t until this past summer that the Lord revealed to me what He wanted for my life. About a year ago, I watched a documentary called “Living on a Dollar” (Netflix it) about these guys who go to Guatemala and live on a random dollar amount between zero and nine for thirty days. In a very small portion of the film they talked about microfinance and building up the economy in impoverished areas of the country. I thought that was so interesting, and then the Lord gave me the opportunity to go to Guatemala and experience everything I had seen in the film. I could hear God saying, “I’m showing you this for a reason. Do something about it.”\n\nSo I finally stopped deciding everything for myself and listened. I get to study business and economics and international studies, and God doesn’t require me to go to seminary or take “Talking About Jesus 101” to further His Kingdom, share who He is with the world, and make a difference."

"Greenville Hurricane Irma hit Puerto Rico more than one-month ago. Few have missed the reports of devastation on the island and the continuing deprivation of its people. The majority of the island still lacks access to clean water and electricity.\n\nWe have a many connections to the pain and problems of the island. Willie Cosme introduced Spanish language programming to the Arkansas radio market more than 28 years ago on our 100,000 watt noncommercial station, KABF-FM, and has done a show continually since that time, specializing in salsa. He did a stint as station manager before throwing up his hands, and was always a fixture around the studio, specializing as a problem solver of issues large and small. By the time I was drafted in as station manager four years ago, Willie had retired from state employment. I even recruited him for a bit with Local 100 as a navigator in the early days of the Affordable Care Act. A bit more than a year ago, Willie relocated to Puerto Rico, his native island. His mother was up in age. His sister was still there. His daughters were grown in the Arkansas and Missouri. He was needed at home.\n\nWillie was working with me to program the stations we support in New Orleans, Little Rock, and Greenville. Modern communication and the internet are amazing things. We were within days of putting the ACORN International internet station on the air at www.acornradio.org when the hurricane hit Puerto Rico, and the world went upside down on Willie. We stalked him on Facebook until one of our searchers found a picture of him on his daughter’s page. I got my first text from him only days ago when he had driven to a higher piece of ground miles away from his home for a brief signal. Asking him what it was like, he could only reply that it was “like living in a war zone.” He and his family are getting water by collecting it from rain barrels he has set up. There is no power. He lives a mile or so outside of Corozal which is less than 30 miles from San Juan. Lines for gas are endless, when they can find it. He says there are now traffic jams in front of his house, because it takes so much time to get to town and the condition of the roads has changed so dramatically. There are some restaurants open finally so often they buy food there, because it is safer, even though more expensive. When will it be better, I asked? He answered, “it could be months.”\n\nPeople at the radio station and around ACORN land who know Willie are trying to put together support for him and his family. Little things like solar lamps and so forth. Mail is getting to him he says, but other deliveries, like Amazon are hesitating to guarantee delivery. He’s stuck. He says he’s lucky, so if this is good luck, think for a minute about the rest of the island and the situation of its people. [Send donations for Puerto Rico and Willie to KABF 2101 South Main Little Rock 72206]\n\nPresident Trump rates the government’s performance a “10.” He must mean 10 out of 100, I guess. We had friends with us from Hawaii recently for several days. They told us that everyone on the islands was watching the Puerto Rico closely, because they were wondering what would happen to their island state if, and when, they are hit by a monsoon and tsunami.\n\nThink about it. Puerto Rico is the Katrina we can’t see because it’s not close at hand. We have to do better, both now and in the future."

"In an engraving by Francisco Goya titled “La caridad de una muger” (The Charity of a Woman), part of his series “Desastres de la Guerra” (1810-1815), which depicted suffering of the Spanish people during the war with Napoleonic France, the artist presents us with the image of a charitable lady, but with an ambivalence that is typical of his style. We see a group of suffering figures in the center of the scene, who have supposedly received “charity” in the form of food from a lady, almost hidden in the shadows in the background, whose servant (back to the viewer) is distributing the food. Beside the lady we see a friar, almost imperceptible in the darkness, but observing with the lady that pitiful scene. What does “The Charity of a Woman” mean? This is the question that Goya presents us—something that encompasses all of the male anxieties of his time over women’s political desires and the modernizing impulses of a Spain that extended from the eighteenth century well into the twentieth. As Goya suggests in his engraving, we see in this question some central themes—the resolution of social problems, the political position of women in Spain, feminine sensibility and sentimentalism, and the extremely complicated role of religion in Spanish society. Although we may question the motives and interpretations of Goya in this picture, surely the artist perceived a connection between women and charity that women would recognize as important for themselves as well as for the modernization of Spain.\n\nEighteenth-century notions of charity in Spain were heavily influenced by its deep Catholic tradition, in which charity, or caritas, was held up as one of the tenets of religious faith. Nonetheless, the topic of charity and its related subjects began to take on social and political significance in Spain, at the same time that it became more associated with virtue and sentiment and less with spiritual duty. During this shift from a more religious-based notion of charity to the more secular and civic-minded of beneficence, women asserted themselves as important actors in the social and economic reforms that were the object of Enlightenment-style caridad. Their very political actions and writings at the end of the Enlightenment period in Spain firmly claimed charity as a means of social action for women, which would continue to be a hallmark of women’s important role in Spanish society for a century, and exalted by both conservatives and liberals.\n\nOur exhibit begins in 1786, when the Royal Economic Society of Madrid began debating the possible admission of women into their membership, supported by member Gaspar Melchor de Jovellanos in his Discurso published in the Memorial Literario. The polemic was very heated on both sides, as men and women argued over women’s supposed sentimental nature and their inherent charitableness–qualities exalted in Goya’s tender scene of the Duchess of Alba with her adopted daughter. The controversy was solved when King Charles III created the first women’s civic organization in Spain, the Junta de Damas, an auxiliary group to the all-male Economic Society that immediately undertook several charitable projects fundamental to Spain’s economic and political stability. Member of the Junta, Maria Cepeda, spoke of the importance of the group’s projects in her Elogio dedicated to Queen Maria Luisa of Borbon; while author María Rosa Gálvez dedicated her “Oda a la Beneficencia” to another member of the Junta, her cousin the Countess of Castroterreño. . These women lay the groundwork for a century and a half of women’s charitable work and writings about the social and political importance of women’s charity in Spanish society.\n\nArticle by Carley McCready, University of Mary Washington, April 2011 Goyas’s series of etchings, Desastres de la guerra (Disasters of the War), begun in 1810, are snapshots of the horrors of the Peninsular War, waged by France upon its former ally, Spain.

"As the war in Ukraine heads into winter, Ramzan Kadyrov, one of the closest allies of President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia, is gaining more visibility and propagandist fodder through his connections with Ultimate Fighting Championship fighters and others in mixed martial arts.\n\nAnd although the U.F.C. as a company has repeatedly said its business has no connections to Kadyrov and that it follows all laws, government officials in the United States say they are aware of the apparent ties between U.F.C. athletes and Kadyrov, the strongman leader of Chechnya who faces severe legal restrictions.\n\nKadyrov has supplied soldiers to support the Russian forces fighting in Ukraine and has been one of the most hawkish cheerleaders of the invasion, at one point calling on Putin to use a low-yield nuclear weapon against Ukraine. Kadyrov also owns several businesses tied to mixed martial arts that have been restricted by the Treasury Department for U.S. citizens and others looking to do business in the United States. The businesses include Akhmat MMA, a gym that trains and sponsors fighters, and the restrictions also keep people from doing business with Kadyrov.\n\nStill, the main event for U.F.C. 282 on Saturday featured Magomed Ankalaev, who has been sponsored by Akhmat for nearly his whole career, competing for the light heavyweight championship.\n\nNeither Ankalaev nor his opponent took the belt after a rare split draw. Still, the bout was the latest in a string of recent moments that have linked U.F.C. personalities with Kadyrov and people in his orbit.\n\nLast month, three former U.F.C. champions visited Chechnya at the behest of Kadyrov, who was first rebuked with Treasury sanctions in 2017 and accused of a wide range of human rights abuses, including kidnapping, torturing and killing L.G.B.T.Q. people in Chechnya. Kadyrov was given additional sanctions related to the war in September, as were his wives and adult children.\n\nThe former U.F.C. welterweight champion Kamaru Usman, the former flyweight champion Henry Cejudo, and the former interim lightweight champion Justin Gaethje were pictured in November testing out grenade launchers and assault rifles at the Russian Special Forces University in Chechnya. The facility is used to train Russia’s special forces units, including those participating in the war.\n\nUsman, Gaethje and Cejudo also attended a birthday party for one of Kadyrov’s teenage sons. For Usman, it was the third time he had visited Chechnya since 2020, and the second time since the Treasury Department imposed sanctions directly on Kadyrov’s M.M.A. businesses.\n\nAli Abdelaziz, an agent who represents Usman, Gaethje, Cejudo and Ankalaev, among many other fighters, did not respond to messages seeking comment. Neither did an agent for Chimaev.\n\nOn Twitter on Sunday, Gaethje said he had never met Kadyrov but acknowledged his trip to Chechnya. “Went for the kids birthday party,” he said. “I also like to shoot guns.”\n\nThe sanctions, which are broad, are generally designed to discourage people from taking actions that will benefit those facing restrictions financially or in other ways. Simple interactions could be subject to harsh penalties.\n\nA State Department official familiar with the investigations of Kadyrov’s business dealings said in a statement: “The Department of State is aware of Kadyrov’s association with Chechen U.F.C. fighters.” The official was not authorized to publicly discuss the application of the Treasury sanctions and shared the statement on the condition of anonymity. Although the State Department had previously noted Kadyrov’s ties within combat sports, the statement is its first direct mention of athletes with the U.F.C. having ties to Kadyrov.\n\nIn October at U.F.C. 280, which was held in the United Arab Emirates, Chimaev sat cageside along with two of Kadyrov’s teenage sons, who are minors and not among Kadyrov’s children who have been named in the sanctions. Chimaev and one of the boys, who is 14, posed for a photo with Dana White, the U.F.C. president. The photo later appeared on an Instagram account associated with Kadyrov, who has long used similar photographs to burnish his reputation.\n\nIn a statement, the U.F.C. said it had “no contractual relationship or any commercial dealings with Ramzan Kadyrov” or anybody affiliated with him. It added that the more than 600 fighters from more 70 different countries were independent contractors, “who have control over many aspects of their careers, including where they train or where they live when not competing.”\n\nThe U.F.C. has at times told fighters not to work or be affiliated with certain people or businesses. Recently, the U.F.C. barred fighters from working with a gym and a coach because of investigations in at least two U.S. states and in Canada of suspicious betting patterns.\n\nShahroo Yazdani, a lawyer at the Washington-based firm Price Benowitz who specializes in Treasury sanctions, noted that a news release announcing the latest sanctions against Kadyrov specifically mentioned his association with mixed martial arts, and how he has recruited fighters for the war in Ukraine through his M.M.A. clubs.\n\n“With that specifically noted in the designation, it’s going to be very interesting to see what happens with his M.M.A. associates,” Yazdani said. “We may well see more fighters stopped at airports and potentially even more designations related to those working with his M.M.A. club.”\n\nAfter U.F.C. 280, Chimaev scuffled with a fighter who is the cousin of the former U.F.C. lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov. Kadyrov later posted a screenshot on Instagram of a video call with both fighters and proclaimed that he had resolved the “misunderstanding” between them.\n\n“I have made sure of it personally,” Kadyrov said in the caption on his post.\n\nAbuzayed Vismuradov, a colonel for Kadyrov’s militia who is considered to be one of the most powerful men in Chechnya and who operates Akhmat MMA, posted a video on Instagram with the fighters showing that the conflict had been resolved.\n\nAlso in the video was the retired champion Nurmagomedov, as well as Islam Makhachev — who had captured the lightweight title at U.F.C. 280. In front of the men, a U.F.C. belt was propped up on a table.\n\n“The dogs bark, the caravan moves on,” Vismuradov said in a caption in the video in which he also praised Kadyrov directly and closed with the battle slogan for Kadyrov loyalists: “Akhmat Power.”\n\nIn 2019, Vismuradov received sanctions from the U.S. Treasury Department, which said that he “was in charge of an operation that illegally detained and tortured individuals on the basis of their actual or perceived LGBTI status.”\n\nChimaev, a Chechen-born Swedish resident who trains at Allstars Training Center in Stockholm, has maintained a well-publicized relationship with Kadyrov since joining the U.F.C. in 2020. On Sunday, Chimaev posted a video on Instagram of a training montage alongside Kadyrov’s teenage sons and members of his Allstars team in Dubai. The video was reposted by the account affiliated with Kadyrov, and both were captioned with the “Akhmat Power” slogan.\n\nChimaev’s two most recent fights have taken place in the United States, and Ankalaev appeared to have been in the country for more than a month ahead of his bout on Saturday. However, some Akhmat MMA fighters have struggled to secure U.S. visas in the past few months, a potential sign of difficulties the U.F.C. could face if the U.S. government increases its pressure.\n\nMaxim Grishin, a Russian-born Akhmat MMA fighter, was scheduled to fight in Las Vegas on Nov. 5, but his bout was abruptly canceled just days ahead of the bout. Grishin said in an interview with a Russian news outlet that he struggled to secure a visa.\n\nKadyrov, front, celebrating during a mixed martial arts tournament in Grozny, Russia, in 2015.Credit…Sergey Ponomarev for The New York Times\n\nGrishin said he didn’t believe his affiliation with Kadyrov led to his travel difficulties, but also revealed that he was advised not to publicize their friendly relationship.\n\n“I was told that it is better not to associate myself with the Akhmat Fight Club, which I am a representative of,” Grishin told Match TV in an interview that was also picked up by Russia Today, the country’s state-controlled English-language news outlet. “But this is not just a contract, we have brotherly relations. I considered it cowardly. Sport is separate from politics, why should I hide something? I don’t do anything bad to the universe, why should the universe do bad things to me?”\n\nThe U.F.C. declined to answer questions about Grishin. When asked about denials of visas to Russian nationals, a State Department spokesperson said that visa records were confidential and that by law it could not provide details about individual visas.\n\nIn September, the State Department announced visa restrictions against 910 Russians in response to the invasion of Ukraine, as well as sanctions against other key Russian officials.\n\n“We will hold to account any individual, entity, or country that provides political or economic support for Russia’s illegal attempts to change the status of Ukrainian territory,” U.S. Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken said in the announcement.\n\nTags\nSaid That Was Who With\n\nDay 13: For a Celebrated Chef, the Tastes and Smells of St. Lucia Day in Sweden Linger",

"Our Lady of the Rosary of San Nicolás, Argentina – 25 September:\nAn ordinary housewife, a mother and grandmother who had no formal education and no knowledge of the Bible or theology claimed that she was visited by the Blessed Mother daily for a period of over 6 years. She reportedly additionally received 68 messages from Jesus Christ. Numerous healings, including the cure of a boy with a brain tumour, have been documented.\n\nEvery 25 September, the city of San Nicolás hosts hundreds of thousands of pilgrims and faithful who meet to venerate and honour the statue of Our Lady of the Rosary of St Nicholas. In 2003, on the twentieth anniversary of the first apparition of Our Lady, the second largest group ever congregated – 400,000 faithful. Pilgrims came from all the provinces of Argentina, with a group of more than 1,000 people from Buenos Aires who travelled the whole 240 km distance on foot – a distance three times greater than that from Buenos Aires to the national Basilica of Our Lady of Luján. On 25 September 2013, thirty years after the first apparition of Our Lady, 500,000 people gathered surpassing the record of 2004 when the greatest number of pilgrims visited.\n\nIn a decree signed on 22 May 2016 and made public a few days later, Héctor Cardelli, Bishop of the Diocese of San Nicolás, declared that the apparitions that took place in city of San Nicolás were supernatural in origin. The devotion is thus approved at the Diocesan level within the Catholic Church.",

"McALLEN, RGV – On the first day of class, the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley opened its doors on Monday to 29,045 students.\n\nThe new university will offer more than 5,000 courses, a 300-course increase on what UT-Pan American and UT-Brownsville offered last fall.\n\nMcRaven praised the vision and contributions of his predecessor, Dr. Francisco Cigarroa and former UT System Chairman Gene Powell, both of whom were instrumental in setting up UTRGV by collapsing the Valley’s two legacy universities – UT-Pan American and UT-Brownsville and adding a four year School of Medicine.\n\n“If we put forth the imagination, if we put forth the effort, there is nothing that can stop this university from moving in the right direction,” McRaven said. “But today is just the beginning. We will have to work every day, every week, every month and every year to continue to improve what we are starting today. What we do here today will change the social fabric of the Valley. It will make us stronger, healthier, more productive and more tolerant. One hundred years from now, Texas will look back and say that this day changed Texas forever.”\n\nUTRGV President Guy Bailey said that when his wife Jan died a couple of years ago he had decided to retire. However, his daughter encouraged him to find something else he could be passionate about. He said becoming president of UTRGV was one of the great honors of his life.\n\n“Thank you for allowing me to be a part of this. What is happening here is one of the most important milestones in American higher education. When we look back ten years from now, we will realize that we did things that nobody else can do,” Bailey said. “What is happening today is unique.”\n\nUTRGV set up Information Depots on both the Brownsville and Edinburg campuses to provide assistance for students as they navigated their way to classes.\n\nFreshman Mikayla Martinez is studying psychology on the Edinburg Campus. She hopes to attend the UTRGV School of Medicine when it opens in order to train to become a psychiatrist. Martinez said college life is clearly different to high school.\n\n“It’s very ‘on your own,’” Martinez said. “It’s a good thing. I like it. We have more responsibility. Being a part of the first class is an awesome experience. Everyone I’ve met so far is really excited … everyone I’ve met has been really positive. My hope for UTRGV is to get the best education that I can, and I definitely think that I’m going to be able to get that here.”\n\nDenisse Molina is Student Government Association vice president at Brownsville and is a senior studying political science. “I feel honored to be representing the Brownsville Campus, and especially because it is the first inaugural year of the university. I look forward to working with every student on the campus to be able to help with whatever SGA can help them with.”",

"Nectar of the Gods – Honeywine and Mead\n\nHoneywine, Mead, the Nectar of the Gods, is made of Honey and Water, 1 part honey, 2 parts water. It’s allowed to add flavours, herbs and fruitjuices. In Poland mixtures of fruit and honeywines were very popular. These beverages are known as Melomels. Apple based Meads are called Cyser and Grape Based meads are called Pyment. But there are many others. In Slovakia Mead is still very popular, it’s called medovina.\n\nMead was not only produced in the high north by wikings and norsemen but also in Greek, Asia, Africa and other parts of the World. In England, Germany and Austria some old recipes from monasteries exist which prolong the usage of herbs like pyment, hops, cinnamon, nutmeg, clove and ginger. Spiced mead is called Metheglin.\n\nMead is often a very sweet and heavy drink comparable to sherry or vinsanto with up to 16%Vol. but there exist sweet and dry variants as well as coolers, sparkling wines and mixed beverages with beer and mead.\n\nMead is one of the oldest alcoholic beverages. What makes the production difficult is the long fermentation because honeywater lacks trub and nutrients for fermentation and honeywater means high osmotic stress for yeast.\n\nDid you know – traditionally mead was offered at weddings and that’s the origin of the word Honeymoon.\n\nIn Africa, Ethiopia, mead is still popular. They call it Tej. See how it’s made there.",
null,
"Nowadays new technologies are used in meaderies. The classic batch fermentation is replaced by fed-batch and column reactor processes with a continuous feed of prepared and pasteurized honeywater and immobilized yeast.\n\nHere is an example from Maine Mead Works"

"How Much Heroin Can Lead to a Dangerous Overdose?\n\nSome often wonder how we reached this point in our lives and how we’re witnessing this pure devastation of the opioid crisis. To better put this into perspective, we are losing people at a rate more alarming than that during the Vietnam War. More Americans have died as a result of opioid overdoses than souls lost in the entire Vietnam War. This statistic illustrates 140 Americans dying daily, and when it is broken down even more in-depth, it translates to one person every eight minutes losing their lives to opioids like heroin. Where did this all start?\n\nHeroin addiction and opioid abuse have been prevalent in our society for centuries, but it wasn’t until the late 1990s that this current epidemic was born. Pharmaceutical companies sent their representatives to doctors out in the field and reassured the entire medical community that patients would not become addicted as a result of using opioids. How did doctors respond? They listened and began prescribing opioids at historical rates. This led to widespread misuse of both prescription and non-prescription opioids. It soon became clear that these were highly addictive.\n\nIn 2017, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services declared a public health emergency to address the national opioid crisis. In 2015, 52,404 Americans died from drug overdoses, and in a sharp rise in 2016, that number rose to an estimated 64,000 people. After declaring the emergency, the Department of Health and Human Services worked alongside President Donald Trump to create a new Five-Point Opioid Strategy.\n\nThe following priorities were for improved access to prevention, treatment, and recovery support services, target the availability and distribution of overdose-reversing drugs, strengthen public health data reporting and collection, support cutting-edge research on addiction and pain, and advance the practice of pain management.\n\nThe overprescribing of opioids led to users turning to illegal methods to obtain their drugs. With access to prescription drugs becoming more difficult and driving up the prices, this has forced people to purchase illicit street drugs like heroin or fentanyl. It has caused the problem to become much worse. This begs the question of how much heroin can lead to a dangerous overdose? Various factors can influence heroin overdose, which we’ll explain below.\n\nHow Much Heroin Can Lead to an Overdose?\n\nHeroin is a highly addictive, illegal opioid. Those who use heroin can experience intense side effects in the short-term and long-term. In 2015, 81,236 emergency department visits occurred for unintentional, heroin-related poisonings in the United States, which is a rate of 26 per 100,000 people. Past misuse of prescription opioids is the most substantial risk factor for starting heroin use, which is especially true among those who became dependent upon or abused prescription opioids in the past year. From 2000 to 2013, three out of four people report having misused prescription opioids before using heroin.\n\nWhat makes the question of how much heroin can lead to an overdose challenging to answer is that today, a bag of heroin may contain only some heroin. With the emergence of fentanyl-laced heroin, it has made it nearly impossible to answer that question. This trend has become evident in the Northeast where heroin is cut with fentanyl and even given brand names and packages to indicate that it is fentanyl. Fentanyl is one of the most potent opioids on this planet and is estimated to be anywhere from 50 times to 100 times stronger than a standard dose of heroin. The process has become routine for dealers who can increase their profits from the cheap synthetic opioid.\n\nTo answer the question about how much heroin can lead to a dangerous overdose? There is no answer to theat question. There are so many different factors including, are the drugs tainted? How long has someone been using? Do they have a high tolerance? Are they healthy? How much do they weigh? As you see, several factors influence the outcome of a heroin overdose, and the safest method to practice is to avoid using heroin or seek treatment immediately.\n\nThere are ways to determine if someone has overdosed on heroin. The person will exhibit these symptoms:\n\nSince heroin is a depressant, it can stop a person’s breathing, which can lead to irreversible brain damage, coma, and death. If you suspect someone has overdosed on heroin, you must immediately call 911. The sooner help arrives, the sooner treatment can begin and the person can avoid long-term damage or death.\n\nHeroin is a powerful drug, and it can affect the body and the brain in several ways. High doses of the drug can be dangerous and even life-threatening, but it can also cause several consequences after long-term use. Heroin can cause a deadly overdose when it’s taken in high doses or mixed with other drugs, but it can also cause a severe substance use disorder after long-term use. Addiction increases your risk of overdose and other serious consequences.\n\nOnce heroin enters the brain, it converts to morphine and binds rapidly to opioid receptors. Someone who uses heroin reports feeling a surge of pleasurable sensation known as a rush. The intensity is dependent on the amount that is taken and the purity of the drug. The rush is accompanied with warm flushing of the skin, dry mouth, and a heavy feeling in the extremities.\n\nThe user can also be drowsy for several hours and have clouded mental functions. The breathing in someone who consumed a large amount will also be strongly affected, and in some cases, be life-threatening.\n\nSomeone using heroin in the early stages may not show the outward signs of a substance use disorder, but the deeper they fall into the grips of heroin addiction the symptoms will become much more apparent.\n\nWith the continued use of heroin, there are physical and physiological changes in the brain. It creates a long-term imbalance in neuronal and hormonal systems that can take years to reverse. Other studies have shown deterioration of the brain’s white matter due to heroin use which can affect decision-making abilities, the ability for normal behavior, and responses to stressful situations. Heroin also can produce high degrees of tolerance and physical dependence.",

"Withdrawal can occur in as little as a few hours after the last time the drug was ingested. Significant withdrawal symptoms peak around 24-48 hours after the last dose and subside after a week. Repeated heroin use can result in a heroin use disorder—a chronic relapsing disease that goes beyond physical dependence and is characterized by uncontrollable drug-seeking behavior.\n\nNo matter how heroin is consumed, it is highly addictive. When someone reaches the point of a heroin use disorder, obtaining and using the drug becomes their only purpose in life. Due to the changes in brain chemistry, long-term use will have adverse effects, and the best option someone has is to inquire and seek treatment to begin treating their addiction. Living in an active heroin addiction can rob someone of their life and harm their relationships with everyone around them.\n\nWhy is Illicit Heroin Inherently Dangerous?\n\nHeroin was once used medicinally in the United States, but it’s now a Schedule I drug. That means that it’s federally recognized to have a high potential for abuse with no currently accepted medical uses. When you get heroin, it’s coming from an illicit source, which means that it’s unregulated and unpredictable. Of course, that means that when you believe it, heroin might be a mixture of other inert and active substances. Today, one of the biggest dangers of using illicit heroin is the threat that it’s mixed with fentanyl or one of its analogs. However, heroin may be unpredictable, even without the presence of other powerful drugs.\n\nHeroin is created and trafficked through transnational criminal organizations, especially the Mexican cartels. As they enter the country, they pass through many hands on the supply chain. Each drug dealer has the potential to add new ingredients to the mix. For the most part, inert substances are added to heroin and other drugs to increase profits. A cheap and easy-to-find adulterant can bulk up the product. The dealer is left with an increased supply and they can then sell the adulterated heroin.\n\nHeroin users may have no idea how pure or adulterated the heroin they are using actually is. The result is a drug with unpredictable purity and strength. This becomes dangerous when neighborhoods of heroin users get used to weak, diluted heroin. They may compensate to find an effective dose, thinking that’s a normal dose of heroin. Then, when they encounter purer heroin, their normal dose is actually too high. This can cause a dangerous overdose.\n\nBecause illicit heroin is so unpredictable, each day in active heroin addiction is life-threatening. The next dose could be deadly.\n\nWhat are the Effects of Heroin Withdrawal?\n\nHeroin can be dangerous during an overdose, but how dangerous is it during withdrawal. Withdrawal is caused by your body’s adaptation to the drug and the sudden chemical imbalance in your brain that’s caused when you quit using heroin. Heroin is notorious for causing extremely uncomfortable flu-like symptoms, including nausea, vomiting, chills, fever, sweating, diarrhea, and body aches. Heroin isn’t known to be deadly in the same way that other substances like alcohol can be during withdrawal.\n\nHowever, it can cause some medical complications if it causes dehydration. Since withdrawal can cause vomiting, sweating, and diarrhea, it can cause you to lose water quickly. However, you can usually overcome this by drinking plenty of water. If you can’t keep water down, you may need to speak to a doctor.\n\nWithdrawal can also cause powerful cravings to use heroin again. If you get through withdrawal successfully, your heroin tolerance will start to go down. If cravings cause a relapse, it can lead to an overdose if you take the dose you were used to before you quit.\n\nHow is Heroin Addiction Treated?\n\nHeroin addiction, as we’ve mentioned above, can have irreversible consequences, and the only way to avoid a heroin overdose is to stop using the drug and get treatment immediately. For some, getting trapped in the perils of addiction can feel like they’re stuck in quicksand, and the harder they fight, the deeper they sink.\n\nHowever, heroin addiction is treatable through addiction treatment. Medical detox, inpatient treatment, and outpatient treatment are used to treat substance use disorders. Since each day addicted to heroin can be dangerous, it’s important to seek treatment as soon as possible."

During September and into October the account of engagements and movements reads like a tour guide of villages in Lorraine. Members of the battalion were killed, wounded and a few were captured. During a short rest the men stayed in French villages where the citizens welcomed them as liberators. From late October through mid-November, the 276th supported the 6th Armored Division defending Landroff from a strong enemy counter-attack. Steady rain in November caused muddy roads, traffic jams, hampered operations and generally made life miserable for the men. On December 5 they fired into Germany for the first time.\n\nIn early December orders came transferring 10% of the enlisted men, or 48 men, to the infantry. Assigned to support the 80th Infantry Division, the 276th continued to fight along the German border. But on December 20th orders changed.\n\nBattle of the Bulge\n\nAs part of Patton’s Third Army, the 276th journeyed from near Bettviller in easternmost France to the City of Luxembourg in four days, enduring snow, extreme cold, and icy, mountainous roads. This was the famous march in the dead of winter that Third Army made to relieve the US troops surrounded at Bastogne. In Luxembourg the 276th moved further north to engage the enemy along the southern shoulder of the bulge where they spent Christmas of 1944. During this time the weather was extremely cold. They were not allowed to build fires and they had no hot food. My father-in-law said that one night he fell asleep under the gun and when awakened by gunfire he was numb and stiff. Had he not awakened, he would have frozen to death, as many did that winter.",

"In the movie “Patton” there is a scene where General George S. Patton ordered a chaplain to write a prayer for good weather so that they could attack. This actually happened. The successful results of this prayer impressed Patton so much that he had a copy of it sent to all the men in Third Army. My father-in-law sent it to his mother who gave it to my husband. The prayer is printed on both front and back of a small, thin piece of paper about the size of a baseball card.\n\nIn January the 276th still supported the 80th Infantry Division as they fought northward helping the 319th Inf. Regiment repel a strong counter-thrust near Nocher. The battle remained near Heiderscheid until Jan. 18. when the battalion supported attacks on Dahl and Kaulenbach, Luxembourg. By the end of January the Allies had crushed German offensive and had pushed back the battle lines to roughly where they had been in early December.\n\nIn February the battalion hammered the Siegfried Line along the Luxembourg-German border. They established liaison with the 4th Armored Division protecting the flanks of the 80th. Targets for the thousands of rounds fired included German defensive positions with nebelwerfers (rockets called screaming meme’s), mortars, tanks, pill boxes, snipers, infantry, vehicles and gun batteries. They crossed the Sauer river near Cruchten into Germany on February 20. Five days later the 276th received orders transferring them to support of the 4th Armored Division and continued to move further into German territory.\n\nIn Part 2 I will continue to recount the experiences of the 276th in the last months of the war in Europe.",

"The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! He is the one I was talking about when I said, ‘A man is coming after me who is far greater than I am, for he existed long before me.’” [John 1:29-30 (NLT)]",

"A red-shouldered hawk soared through the sky, swooped down, and settled in a tree just a few feet from us. After getting a photo, I walked back to a man we’d passed earlier on the boardwalk. His tripod and huge lens told me he was hoping to get some good shots and I let him know a Kodak moment was waiting on the side trail. He followed me back and my husband pointed out the impressive bird perched above him.\n\nLater, we came upon one of the sanctuary’s naturalists who admitted she’d been waiting for someone to come along so she could point out a limpkin. With its dark brown body and white speckles, the bird blended into the underbrush and we never would have seen him without her direction. Then, opening a small jar of pond water she’d collected, she pointed out two dragonfly nymphs swimming around. Walking on, my husband pointed out an anhinga high in the trees and I returned the favor when I spotted a black-crowned night heron across the lake. Seeing the naturalist coming toward us, I waited so I could show her the easily missed bird.\n\nWhen people come to the bird sanctuary, they come to see the swamp’s flora and fauna. But, if they don’t know where to look, it’s easy to miss the things that make the walk worthwhile. The naturalists often leave signs indicating points of interest and, when the ghost orchid is blooming, they leave a scope focused on the rare flower. Bird lovers share their findings on various bird websites and last week, after such a posting, dozens of birders turned up hoping to catch a glimpse a Hammond’s flycatcher.\n\nJohn the Baptist was surrounded by a crowd of people who’d come to be baptized and hear him preach. Can you imagine what it was like when John saw Jesus and, pointing to the Lord, identified Him as the Lamb of God? Did all the heads turn and look? John’s job was to prepare the way and point the people to Jesus, the promised Messiah, and he did his job well.\n\nWhile I’m happy to point out hawks, herons, swamp lilies, alligators and scarlet hibiscus to visitors at the bird sanctuary, I have another more important job that is shared with every Christian. Just as John pointed to the living Christ, we are to point to the risen Christ! But, I’m not sure pointing is enough. Had we just pointed in the hawk’s direction, the photographer might have ignored us and, if the naturalist had merely pointed toward the limpkin, we wouldn’t have seen it. It was only when she told us what to look for and described his location that we saw the bird. It seemed like her jar was filled only with murky swamp water until she showed us the nymphs and explained what they were.\n\nWhen people come to the bird sanctuary, just knowing there are wood storks, herons, painted buntings, and old growth cypress isn’t the same as being shown those things. With our words, we can point people to Scripture, the church, and Jesus. Better than that, however, is showing people how the words of Scripture apply, what the church means, and how Jesus’ followers live a life of peace, joy, patience, forgiveness, love, compassion and service. It is by living the way we say we believe, by loving and serving, by praying both for and with someone, by seeking and interacting with the lost, by sharing our stories, and by listening to theirs that we truly show people the Lamb of God.\n\nBirders are so enthusiastic that they share their sightings with everyone. Are we that enthusiastic about Christ? Like John, are we witnesses to His light? Do we show the Way?\n\nIf someone claims, “I know God,” but doesn’t obey God’s commandments, that person is a liar and is not living in the truth. But those who obey God’s word truly show how completely they love him. That is how we know we are living in him. Those who say they live in God should live their lives as Jesus did. [1 John 2:4-6 (NLT)]"

"Sports Illustrated’s Tom Verducci joined the show to talk about Gary Carter’s death and other big stories in baseball.\n\nVerducci noted Carter’s love of the big moment and his tenacity. He also said Carter’s personality really helped the young Mets. “He was the ballast of that team,” Verducci said.\n\nVerducci also weighed in on A.J. Burnett. He said the Yankees pitcher has the ability to block deals. Verducci thinks that the Pittsburgh Pirates are the best fits.\n\nVerducci, like Dan, noted how complicated the Ryan Braun story is getting. It’s not cut and dry to say the least."

"the James Hunter Six - Hold On\n\n2016 album from the critically-acclaimed vocalist. This may be James Hunter's fourth album, but it is his first Daptone record.\n\nProduced by Daptone's own Bosco Mann (Gabriel Roth) at Penrose Recorders (Daptone West) near his home in Riverside, California, Hold On! is a perfect portrait of an artist at the top of his game. James Hunter has been on the scene for enough years to acquire plenty of feathers in his cap. Billboard charts, Grammy nominations, and Van Morrison collaborations aside, he has earned an international reputation as a Rhythm and Blues troubadour for his command of the microphone both on stage and in studio. This album, however, is something far deeper than just another notch in his belt. It is truly an artist's vision come to fruition.\n\nThough tunes like \"(Baby) Hold On,\" \"If That Don't Tell You,\" and \"Stranded\" carry the buoyant energy, crackerjack arrangements, and tough soulful pulse for which the band has become renowned, the true treasures of this LP may lie in the deeper grooves. Rumbas, boleros, bossanovas, and easy rockers, each one swinging more than the last: \"This Is Where We Came In\", \"Something's Calling\", \"A Truer Heart\", \"Light of My Life\", \"In The Dark\" - no clichéd throwback nods to a-time-gone-by here. These are forever songs crafted with immaculate care and ingenuity, sung with an effortless balance of tenderness and grit. Many will be tempted to describe it as \"authentic,\" but the word really has no place here. Hunter's words are truly his own and though at moments his voice may \"evoke\" Ray Charles or Sam Cooke, there lies an inherent naturalness in these songs that bucks any comparison past or present.",

"Preston take on Fulham tomorrow night, but will seemingly be without Paul Gallagher again.\n\nSaturday’s 2-0 defeat at Queens Park Rangers means it’s four defeats in a row for Preston, who have slipped from second to seventh in the Championship table.\n\nWith no goals in the last four games, North End are struggling. An injury crisis goes some way to explaining the dip, with a real lack of creativity in the side.\n\nDaniel Johnson is out for a few weeks yet, whilst Paul Gallagher hasn’t played in the last two games. After playing 90 minutes at Hull, Gallagher missed the fixtures with West Brom and QPR.",
null,
"The 34-year-old takes on a big workload with North End, so the odd niggle isn’t a huge shock. Now, boss Alex Neil has offered an update on Gallagher’s situation ahead of Tuesday’s clash with Fulham.\n\nNeil highlighted that Gallagher’s Achilles is the problem, so Preston are waiting for that to calm down. Neil couldn’t put a timeframe on Gallagher’s return, saying it could be a few days or a week, so it seems safe to say that Gallagher will miss tomorrow’s game.\n\nPreston miss Gallagher’s composure, creativity and set pieces when he’s not in the side, so hopefully he will return to action sooner rather than later, without being rushed.\n\nAN on Gallagher: “His Achilles is playing up a bit at the moment so we are waiting for that to calm down. It’s hard to put a time on it, it could be a few days or it could be a week or so. It really depends on when that pain dissipates.” #pnefc"

"Five years ago, Kevon Looney found his voice. Already naturally reserved, he barely spoke as an NBA rookie who scarcely played. He just observed and did what he was told. But then the Warriors went to Oklahoma City for a Saturday Primetime ABC game, and he left that arena way more comfortable, enough to actually speak in the presence of his teammates.\n\nOn Feb. 27, 2016, Looney got a DNP-CD view of the Warriors struggling in the first half in a showdown against Oklahoma City. He watched utter chaos in the locker room at halftime. He watched the Warriors rally to force overtime. He watched Stephen Curry hit the dagger of all daggers. Next thing his teammates knew, Looney was vocal, chiming in here and there with something to say and engaging in conversation. Eight months after he was drafted, a month after he made his NBA debut, Looney felt part of the team.",

"The last few months or so have been very noteworthy and exciting for Daniel. It is high time I update the site! In late April, we celebrated Daniel’s tenth birthday. We have told the kids that for every fifth birthday they can have a big party, and we certainly did that for the big 1-0! Daniel invited several friends and we had a really fun Nerf themed party at a nearby Bowl & Bounce place. It was a great time of celebrating the ten precious years Daniel has been in our lives.",

"May 14th we had another big celebration – one year seizure free! Honestly, we could hardly believe it and were elated and abundantly grateful. Last year when we left Cleveland Clinic with such disappointment, we had no idea that the course of treatment we began following was going to be very effective. In March 2021, Daniel had an inpatient EEG for 48 hours which showed his ESES (Electrical Status Epilepticus of Sleep – the kind of epilepsy he has) spikes were down to around 50%. Last year in March (2020) at Cleveland Clinic, they were around 99%. Now, writing in mid-July, he has been 14 months seizure free. The impact of this has been so good for Daniel. One very typical side-effect of ESES is great difficulty learning and decline in cognitive skills. Being without seizure medication and with no seizures for over a year has helped Daniel so much academically. He is reading much better, remembering things and conversing at a more advanced level. This is so much more than what we had hoped for. We remain vigilant, and keep our safety bag with us at all times and keep our seizure monitor on him at night, but are still so excited for each day, week, and month that goes by with no seizures! Hallelujah!",

"Another fun event in May was Hannah’s ballet performance in The Nutcracker Reimagined. She was an adorable clown, showing off her new ballet skills that she had been working on since February. Both kids participated in a virtual triathlon as well. This came about through a divine encounter with a special couple who work really consistently at exercising. Daniel met Heather as she was entering the Y one day about to swim her portion of a virtual Ironman Triathlon. Daniel had quite an impact on Heather, and she has subsequently had quite an impact on him and on our family. One challenge that we are experiencing is the weight that Daniel has gained over the last year as a result of different medications he has been on (almost 30 pounds). He is growing, and the pediatrician expects to see a burst of height soon, but in the meantime, Daniel is struggling to bear his own weight when he tries to walk and finds it quite painful. Our “chance” encounter with Heather and her husband has served to begin to inspire and motivate us toward more physical activity as a family. This is a big challenge for us, but something that is important.",

"Near the end of May, Daniel’s wish through Make-A-Wish of South Carolina was fulfilled. Covid had impacted the types of wishes that were able to be granted and the time it took to do so. Daniel’s first wish had been cancelled in Spring of 2020, and he had decided that he wanted a camper. So, Memorial Day weekend found us in Charleston, SC where Daniel’s Make-A-Wish ceremony took place and our family became the owners of a new Coleman camper! We headed straight out on our maiden voyage that weekend and have camped a few times since, including spending Fourth of July weekend in Jacksonville, FL and we have plans to spend the first week of August camping in Maine near family.",

"On our first camping weekend, the whole purpose of the camper and specifically it being “Daniel’s Camper” was very apparent. You all know that Daniel has “never met a stranger” and will talk with anyone anywhere. Very often people tell me how blessed and impacted they have been by Daniel (and our family) and this was certainly the case that first weekend we camped. The granddaughter of the campground manager connected with our kids and apparently has been pretty lonely for some friends. She ended up being with us for most of the time we were camping there, swimming with us, playing mini-golf with us, eating with us, etc. This little girl has had some instability in her life and was clearly soaking up the love and attention in our family. What a blessing it was to include her and love on her. The kids really enjoyed having her around as well. We haven’t for sure settled on a name for the camper yet, but we are thinking “Wishing Well”. It is a play on words as a Make-A-Wish gift, but also as an expression of what God seems to lead our family into repeatedly as we meet people – wishing others well through encouragement, humor and blessing as they interact especially with our children.\n\nIn June we also celebrated Hannah’s 7th Gotcha Day. How very, very blessed our family is to have her in it! She is growing in beauty, knowledge, humor, grace, and understanding.",
null,
"The summer is going by quickly, as the kids have had many activities and we have been squeezing in these little camping trips. They have participated in two art camps, two Vacation Bible Schools and a few day activities which have made the summer really fun.",

"Hannah had her tonsils out last Thursday so this week is pretty laid back for all of us. She is doing great, but understandably uncomfortable. Sunday, July 18th, was a special day for our family as Daniel was baptized. He has been asking about being baptized, literally for years, and over time we have become more assured of his understanding of what it means to be a child of God, to trust in Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of his sins and the salvation of his soul. It was a joy to celebrate this with him.",

"The kids have a Code Ninja camp scheduled for the last week of July where they will learn about 3D printing, then we are off to Maine for a week of camping and visiting with family and friends. School starts up here on August 16th. The plan is for the kids to go back to public school this coming year. We are in the process of getting a new wheelchair for Daniel. He has had his current power wheelchair for five years, and it is showing the wear and tear. There is new technology available as well called LUCI, which is like the technology in new cars that keeps them from running into the car in front of them in traffic. This technology on a power wheelchair increases the independence and safety of power wheelchair users, especially kids who are easily distracted in a school setting and might accidently run over other kids or off curbs, etc. We are really excited about this new chair – please be praying that we can get it very soon. These things can take a long time, and Daniel’s is the first chair being submitted to South Carolina Medicaid with this new technology. Our doctor and physical therapist are on board and many pages have been written already explaining why this chair is medically necessary for Daniel. It would be a miracle for sure to have it before school starts, but that is ultimately what we are shooting for.\n\nFinally, in the way of Harris family news, we became convinced at the end of last year that we need to move to a single level living situation to better care for Daniel, lessen risk of injury, and increase his independence. We have been unable to find a house on the market that meets our needs, so we are excitedly awaiting the construction of our new house to be built in Clover, SC, about 30 minutes from where we currently live. Stay tuned for updates. With the supply chain issues across the world in many industries, it promises to be a lengthy process. We hope to be able to move next Spring.",
null,
"We are grateful for your continued interest in Daniel and our family and for your prayers for us when we come to mind. We are encouraged with where things are currently in regard to Daniel’s health, especially the absence of seizures. It is wonderful to be able to write such a positive report!\n\n7 thoughts on “Magnificent May! Super Summer!”"

"\nEdgar Bain Hamm was born on January 3, 1941 in Wayne County, to his loving parents Jiles Randolph Hamm and Helena Mooring Hamm. He died peacefully on November 22, 2021 with his family surrounding him.\nWith his Eastern NC work ethic, Edgar grew up working on tobacco farms around his hometown of Stantonsburg. He graduated from Stantonsburg High School and married the love of his life, Mamie Jean Bennett of nearby Saratoga. Edgar and Jean built a family and a life in Wilson and Pitt Counties. Their daughter, Ann, was born on March 6, 1967…and his “sugar babe” would remain the apple of his eye throughout a wonderful and long life. The family lived in Bethel until Edgar’s retirement, when Edgar and Jean moved back to Wilson County.\nEdgar had a fulfilling career in the main frame computer business within the pharmaceutical industry, working for pharma giants Owens & Minor and Burroughs Wellcome, which would later become Glaxo SmithKline.\nEdgar retired in 1996 and in many ways his life began anew. On November 4, 1998, his first grandson, Bennett Sloan White was born. Sweet Sloan would always make Edgar beam with joy and pride. And then Edgar’s sidekick of a lifetime and best buddy was born…his grandson, William Bain White. Will forever changed Edgar’s known name to “Hamm” for which is he is known today. The two of them built treehouses, squirrel blinds, go-carts and forts. They shot up creeks and cans and had a grand old time growing up together and making life an adventure. Hamm also loved to take Will and his buddies Ren, Vance and Charles to the turkey shoots throughout Eastern NC and Hamm thought of the boys as part of his family despite the fact that they repeatedly tore up his backyard with the go-cart he built for them! Will and Hamm will maintain a special bond that carries on forever.\nHamm leaves behind many special friends who loved his sense of humor and quick wit. Hamm was predeceased by his brother, Jarvis. He is survived by his loving wife, Jean, of Wilson, his daughter Ann (David) of Raleigh; his grandchildren, Sloan and Will of Raleigh, and his sister, Dianne Hamm Worthington (Kenneth) of Richmond, Virginia and his nephews, Kenny, Steve, and Brian and their families.\nA visitation will be held at Joyner’s Funeral Home, 4100 Raleigh Road Parkway, Wilson on Saturday, November 27th from 1p.m. to 2:30p.m. A family graveside service will follow.\nMemorials can be directed to Tammy Lynn Center for Developmental Disabilities, 739 Chappell Drive, Raleigh North Carolina\nCondolences directed to Joyner’s Funeral Home and Crematory at www.joyners.net.\n\nTo order memorial trees or send flowers to the family in memory of Edgar Bain Hamm, please visit our flower store."

"EUR/USD: Germany’s factory orders fell at its fastest pace in more than a decade",
null,
"Data showed that Germany’s factory orders unexpectedly dropped by 2.1% on a monthly basis in December, amid a decline in foreign demand and defying market expectations for an advance of 0.6%. In the prior month, factory orders had registered a revised drop of 0.8%.\n\nSeparately, the European Central Bank President, Christine Lagarde, stated that despite Euro-zone’s weak growth there are tentative signs of stabilisation. Further, Lagarde cautioned that though trade tensions between the US and China have receded, other risks such as the impact of the coronavirus outbreak are a renewed source of concern. She added that the domestic economy remains resilient, with consumption still rising, unemployment at a 12-year low and employment at record highs.\n\nIn the US, data revealed that the seasonally adjusted initial jobless claims fell more-than-expected to 202.0K in the week ended 01 February 2020, hitting its lowest level in nine months and compared to a revised reading of 217.0 K in the previous week..\n\nIn the Asian session, at GMT0400, the pair is trading at 1.0982, with the EUR trading marginally higher against the USD from yesterday’s close.\n\nIn absence of key macroeconomic releases in the Euro-zone today, investors would direct their attention to Germany’s trade balance and industrial production, both for December, slated to release in a few hours. Moreover, the US nonfarm payrolls, average hourly earnings and unemployment rate, all for January, set to release later today, will be on investors’ radar."

"He “laid down the boogie and played that funky music.” Nicholas Allen Enkeboll, aged 36, of Torrance, Ca. died unexpectedly at his home on Tuesday, February 20, 2018. He was wicked smart, witty, very funny, full of love, and so very sarcastic, using this super power for good and not evil. Life wasn’t easy, he had more than his share of challenges, but he persevered. He recently said to his girlfriend Brittany, “I think I’ve stayed pretty optimistic, all things considered.” He loved to exercise his mind through reading and writing, keeping his writings and thoughts in journals. Music was a big part of his life as well, a love he shared with his mother Denise. Just take a listen to Billie Holiday singing “Gloomy Sunday,” Tom Waits “Take One Last Look,” or Julie London’s “Cry Me A River.” Besides exercising his mind, Nick was an accomplished wheelchair racer. Just a few of his many accomplishments include taking 1st place in the Jr. Men's Division of the Peachtree Road Race in 1997, 98, 99, and 2000. He took 1st place in the 1997 World Championship Riverside Rumble. He also participated in The LA Marathon, Wheelchair Division from 1995 through 2005. “Grief I’ve learned, is really just love. It’s all the love you want to give but cannot. All of that unspent love gathers up in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and in that hollow part of your chest. Grief is just love with no place to go.” - Unknown Brittany said that Nick could “Humble the arrogant, build up the timid, and silence the demons scratching in your head. He could snap you out of it when you were being self-defeating and stupid.” The world is a sadder, emptier place without him in it. “It’s so much darker when a light goes out than it would have been if it had never shone.” - John Steinbeck He was special, but he tried to be humble, and his absence leaves a hole in our lives. He loved his friends and family, bringing a lot of love and laughter to our lives. Our hearts are breaking and we will all miss him every day for the rest of our lives. He is survived by his mother Denise Lewis Perkins, father Glen Enkeboll, sister Rebecca Werner and the love of his life, his girlfriend Brittany Larsen. To paraphrase A. A. Milne’s Winnie the Pooh, “How lucky are we to have known and loved Nicholas, that it makes saying goodbye to him so hard.”"

"Twenty years ago this week I ran my first Vermont 100 miles and my third 100 mile run. As a newcomer to the sport, I was somewhat impressed with the talent and ability in the field. As we started the race in the pre-dawn darkness, I found myself running alongside a handful of ultra-running dignitaries, most of whom I had heard of, but who I had never met.\n\nThere was Germany Hans Putmultiple times hard rock 100 finisher as well as a Barkley Marathons fun race finisher. With Hans was Pennsylvania Joe Kulak, a newcomer to the scene with a fast road racing pedigree. From New Mexico, Eric Cliftonwith his trademark colorful tights, pulled it out hard, as he often did in those days, and chatted early in the morning. Ian Torrencealready star of the scene in 2002, played the second leg of the Ultrarunning Grand Slam That day. And then there was John Geesler.\n\nAs the sun rose and the day began to warm up, I fell into John’s stride and immediately took note of his unique look and measured approach. Dressed in road shoes and woolen socks, Geesler had the face of a hardened veteran. His salt-and-pepper ponytail bounced as he ran. With a cotton T-shirt, a pair of long loose shorts and a belt with a metal military canteen attached to it, John was a guy who stood out among the rest.\n\nWe quickly fell into an easy conversation. I learned that John was from upstate New York and was running his 12th Vermont 100 Mile. I said to myself quietly, “I think I’ll try to stay with this guy.\n\nAt mile 44, after running together for several hours and launching into the camp 10 loop, John slowly pulled away from me. He would finish third that year behind Put and Kulak in 16:01. I ended up finishing about 50 minutes behind John that day, and I was so honored that he was there to greet me at the finish.\n\nWith his metronomic running style, in-depth knowledge of the courses, and innate control of pace, I have always considered John the classic Vermont runner. Even if he already had impressive finishes at the time Western 100 States, Massanutten Mountain Trails 100 Miles, Mohican 100 milesand Rocky raccoon 100 milesI kept thinking of him, more than anything else, as the accomplished Vermont 100 Mile runner.\n\nI ended up going back to Vermont four more times over the next few years and each time I went I enjoyed catching up with John, running a few miles with him and watching him do his thing.\n\nAnd so it was with great interest and excitement that I learned earlier this week that John is still going strong. At this year’s event, after two years of COVID-19-related cancellations, he completed his 28th Vermont 100 Mile. Now every year he comes back, race director Amy Rusiecki assigns him a bib number corresponding to his number of starts. At 68, John is no longer the 24-hour runner he once was.\n\nBut his 28:33 finish last Saturday, wearing No. 28, proved to me that he’s still Vermont’s consummate runner and still has plenty of gas in the tank. In this age of bucket list races and one-and-done ultrarunners, it inspires and motivates me to watch John return, year after year, to the running he loves.\n\nAnd so it is that I suspect, no matter what happens in the world between now and next year’s race, we will see John Geesler toe the line in Vermont for his 29th finish. I can’t wait to watch!\n\nAJW’s Beer of the Week\n\nThis week’s Beer of the Week comes from The Alchemist brewery in Stowe, Vermont. Known in particular for their award-winning double IPA, Heady Topper, in recent years The Alchemist have released a variety of different beers which they have brought in and taken out of rotation. One of my favorites is their take on the classic American Pale Ale, Broken Spoke American Pale Ale. Balanced at 6% ABV and brewed entirely with Amarillo hops, Broken Spoke has a decidedly West Coast flavor and a slightly fruity finish. If you find yourself in the North Country, a stop at The Alchemist will be well worth your time.\n\nHow to choose your first day of school outfit"

"We’ve spent quite some time with the verykool s735 in the process of putting it through a review. The device is aimed towards the budget minded, falling under the entry-level segment with specifications and features that are ideal for first time smartphone users. Before we move on with the hands-on, here’s a brief description of the company – verykool is based in San Diego, California, and is owned by InfoSonics. The company has a wide plethora of devices in its lineup and they fall in the affordable, rugged and QWERTY segments, amongst others. The handset in question tags along the Android platform and it comes in dual as well as single SIM flavors. We’re putting the former variant to the test and if you’d like to know what capabilities this piece of hardware holds, please read on.",
null,
"The verykool s735 is deployed in two versions. One is specifically for customers who purchase the device through operators, while the other is a dual SIM variant for the open market. The model we’re reviewing has 2 SIM slots and apart from this difference, both variants share the same hardware components. So let’s get started – A 3.5-inch touchscreen which boasts of being a capacitive TFT LCD panel proffering a 320 x 480p HVGA resolution is fitted onto the front. The innards include a single core 1GHz processor which is based on the ARM 7 architecture. Accompanying it are 256MB of RAM for simple multitasking and approximately 127MB of internal storage. On the bright side, you’ll be able to throw in a 32GB microSD card for hoarding content.",
null,
"While most entry-level smartphones manage to squeeze in Ice Cream Sandwich, the s735 one feasts on Gingerbread. According to what we see here, the hardware should be capable of running a newer version of Android. Well, it’s up to the manufacturer when it comes to rolling out an update. As you know, our review unit has dual SIM support. You’ll be able to slip in HSPA enabled cards for 3G data access of up to 7.2Mbps in downlink and 5.76Mbps in uplink (supported bands: 850/1900) in both slots. Since we’re talking about connectivity, the device comes with Bluetooth 2.1 and Wi-Fi as well as hotspot and modem tethering. You’ll also receive a 3.2MP digital CMOS camera on the rear and a secondary VGA snapper fitted onto the front for video calls. Lastly, there’s the usual set of sensors including those for gravity and proximity.",
null,
"On unboxing the verykool s735 device, you’ll be greeted by a generously sized touchscreen sitting pretty on the front. There is a bunch of accessories provided along with the smartphone as well. They include a set of earphones, a USB cable, a wall plug for charging and the usual user guide with warranty information. The phone measures 10.8mm thick and weighs 121 grams. Drenched in black, the exterior feels rugged and looks good too. On the front you will find the customary capacitive buttons resting below the display, while the bezel shines bright in silver.",
null,
"The volume controls, the 3.5mm audio jack and the power button are on the upper half, while the microUSB port is located on the bottom. The rear panel which is made from hard plastic (polycarbonate?) takes on the verykool 3G branding. Pop it open and you’ll be presented with a large battery, a microSD card slot and what appears to be a single SIM tray, or that’s what we assumed. A closer look at the slot got us to realize that there are actually two – One stacked above the other. A pretty good design, if you were to ask us.",
null,
"From a budget phone, you obviously wouldn’t expect much. Going by what we’ve seen and experienced first hand, the verykool s735 is capable of delivering a beautiful Android experience, albeit the phone runs on Gingerbread. Most applications on Google Play are compatible with it and many games work well too. So you basically won’t be missing out on much. Casual titles such as Angry Birds (the entire series) and Temple Run work flawlessly. We even tried a few moderately demanding games such as Riptide GP, Asphalt 5 and HAWX, and all 3 worked like a charm.",
null,
"We did run a few benchmark tests to see how the hardware stands out. The AnTuTu 3 application force-closed each time after the Open GL 2.0 test, but Nenamark1 managed to record a 36.1fps score in OpenGL 2.0 GPU rendering. We mostly noticed that the CPU frequency was listed out wrong in several applications. All we got was a BogoMIPS reading of 1998.84MHz, when the actual clock speed is 1GHz. Where basic functions are concerned, the phone gave us no reason to worry as voice calls were clear, music as well as video playback (no HD support) was smooth and the touchscreen was very responsive.\n\nThe 3.2MP camera affixed onto the rear is decent enough for capturing images solely under good ambient conditions. No auto focus and the lack of a flash means a very average photography experience otherwise. Coming to the main part, the 1300mAh battery included with the phone can barely keep up for an entire day with both slots being occupied by 3G enabled cards. Approximately 6 hours of continuous activity is what you can expect on a single charge with moderate usage which comprises of listening to music, surfing the web and making calls.\n\nWe like the design a lot. The phone doesn’t feel cheap in the hands.\n\nPerformance is good and Android runs as it should – No lags with smooth transitions.\n\nMost single SIM Android phones with a 1300mAh battery barely last a day on extensive usage. So you could just imagine what would happen to the activity life if both slots were occupied with 3G cards.\n\nOwing to the scarce built-in storage, there’s a limit to the number of applications you’ll be able to install, specifically those that cannot be transferred to the SD card.\n\nInfoSonics could have delivered a better display. We’re not asking for a larger screen – Just a better LCD panel, quality-wise.\n\nWhat we’ve learned from days of tinkering around with the verykool s735 is that it brings quality at a budget. The design is appealing and the form factor is sturdy enough to withstand daily bumps. The performance is mainly smooth, though you won’t get HD games to run effortlessly. In short, you get your money’s worth. We’re going to leave the smartphone with an 8 out of 10 rating. The company states that the handset is compatible with carriers such as AT&T, T-Mobile, Cellular One, Airfire Mobile and H2O Wireless. The s735 can be picked up in the US for a price of $149.99."

"Finland has always been famous for the racing talent the country possesses, with the nation being represented in series such as Formula One for several decades. With a vast motorsport heritage, it is no surprise that many racers start driving from an extremely young age. Emma Kimilainen first sat in a go-kart at only 1 year old, and since then has been in love with motorsport. Having raced in many series both nationally and internationally, she is now focussed on a new project with the Electric Production Car Series. I spoke to her about racing, returning to the sport after a 4 year break, and donating her trophies to help others.\n\nMost successful racers begin driving go-karts when they are young, around the ages of 3-5 years old. However, Emma first sat in a kart at only 1 year old, and as soon as she physically could drive it, she wanted to. “I always liked cars and I behaved like a little petrolhead tomboy, always climbing on trees, ready to try new things. Fear didn’t belong to my vocabulary when I was a kid,” she said. Starting to drive at 3 years old, her older cousins passed down their old equipment to her, despite her being too small to reach the pedals. “A few pillows behind my back and I managed to reach out to the pedals of the little go-kart. Everything started because my Dad loved motorsport but didn’t have the chance to drive anything when he was a kid and decided to buy a go-kart together with my cousins’ Dad,” Kimilainen told me.\n\nHaving motorsport as a hobby is not easy, with young drivers needing large amounts of support both financially and practically from their families. With Emma and her family sharing the kart with another family, this cost was spread allowing them all to enjoy racing. Her first competitive race came at the age of 5 when she moved onto a larger go-kart. “Years went by and me and my brother were racing in many series. We travelled around Finland with a big caravan, spent time together, raced here and there and always thought inside the family that karting was a nice hobby, nothing more. My mum took care of the food and she was always really supportive, saying we kids can become whatever we want and they’ll stand by us. Dad was our mechanic and took care of teaching us how to drive and how to setup the car. He put a lot of time and effort into learning how the cars worked and luckily for us and all the beginners, the motorsport family is special. Everyone is helping each other at the paddocks, sharing information and giving a hand,” she described.\n\nWith both Kimilainen and her brother starting to race at the same time, she had someone she could compare her performances to. When she began to out-perform him, it became clear to the family that Emma had a potential talent. “We quickly noticed that I had something he didn’t have, and that was probably the attitude of never giving up, always finding even the smallest gap to attack for overtaking, and of course understanding the feeling and the limits of the car,” she explained. Many young drivers have potential, but when she reached the age of 12, the idea of this being Emma’s future career began to appear a real possibility. “That season I drove 12 races, won in 6, came second in 4 and had to retire from 2. I had fallen in love with winning and I also loved the problem solving with the setup. I must say that I felt more powerful when I could crush the doubts and attitudes there were against being a girl in motorsports. To show the overall prejudice ideology wrong, gave me strength to continue even though it has not always been easy,” Kimilainen said.\n\nHer international racing career began at the age of 14 when she started racing in an Italian karting series, with her car racing career starting only a few years later. “I started in Formula Ford in 2005. I drove the FIA Northern European Zone Championship for two years and came 5th in my first year and 2nd (lost with 1 point) in my second year in 2006. I won the Ford Bowl championship that included both NEZ and Finnish championships. I was really lucky to work with great people on those two years, from whom I learned a lot, both driving and technical stuff,” Emma described. After taking a break from racing for 4 years following financial difficulties and then the birth of her daughter, she was offered the opportunity to begin racing in the Scandinavian Touring Car Championship. “I got this golden phone call saying that the team, PWR Racing team, had kept an eye on me for a very long time, since those first years in my car racing career, and now they are ready to build up a professional team in STCC. I was a bit worried because I hadn’t driven anything in four years. Of course, I started to train straight away but I didn’t know what they would think of me having a child because people usually think that after having kids, you would somehow become slower and more frightened, which is not the thing at all. But they said that if I have succeeded before, they know I can still do it because the talent won’t disappear,” Kimilainen told me.",

"Returning to competitive driving was not an easy transition for Emma. Having not even raced a kart during her break, she admits that she had to learn the mental side of the sport again, as well as regaining her confidence. “Even though the talent was still there and I was really quick, I had to learn the mental part all over again. How to link the two most important things in my life together; how to reach out to your dreams but still be a good mother and a wife who can also financially take part as before. On the racing aspect during the first year, it felt like all the pressure built up by media, spectators and myself just rolled over the self-confidence and I became really nervous before the races. I was afraid to make mistakes because I didn’t feel confident enough about the car and we didn’t have the possibility to test and practice at all during those years in STCC. I only drove race weekends. Those insecure feelings about driving were completely new to me and I had to find the right ways to cope with them, and luckily I did,” she said.\n\nThis year Kimilainen is working with the Electric Production Car Series. Although her team, SPV Racing, were hoping to be competing this season, their car is still being developed, something Emma is enjoying being a part of. “My aims were to be racing in the EPCSeries with my team but the development work with the car is still under progress and that has been my job this year. Let’s hope we can have the series up and running soon. Until then I’ll do the testing, developing and promotion,” she explained.\n\nIn many of the series that Emma has competed in she has been the only female racer. However, this is not something she has been fazed by and she hopes that she will be able to create a positive example for others. “I hope that by the example of all the women who race, we could show the rest that it’s possible to come along and race equally against men. I love the fact that motorsport is the one of the few sports where women and men can compete equally. My goal has always been to be the best driver, not the best woman driver,” Kimilainen told me.\n\nWhen it comes to being a role model, it is clear that the difficulties she had had throughout her career have encouraged her to help others. Having won many trophies and awards in her native Finland such as Driver of the Year and Best Female Driver, Emma went on to donate hundreds of trophies to be reused by small motorsport clubs. “I’m really proud of those achievements as there are a lot of crazy talented drivers in Finland. I donated all of my trophies (around 450) to the Finnish Motorsport Association and they passed them forward to motorsport clubs around Finland to be reused, which helps financially. My mum severed the plates from the trophies and made a big wall board with all the plates in it and those Driver of the year trophies including the first trophy I got from my first race at the age of 5, were the only ones I saved. They are the reminders of the hard work in total,” Kimilainen described.\n\nWhen she’s not driving, Emma also has a successful media career having worked as a F1 commentator and TV presenter. “It actually started accidentally as I have been interviewed many times on different talk shows and then the hosts and producers were wondering how natural I was in front of the camera. That’s how I ended up first as a commentator on some TV shows, radio and Formula 1, and then later on I got the chance to be the host. I’ve not done anything that isn’t somehow related to the fact that I’m a professional racing driver and as long as I am racer, I don’t want to change that,” she said.\n\nEmma Kimilainen’s life has involved motorsport from only 1 year old. Competing in her first race aged 5, she and others around her soon realised racing was something that she had a real talent for. However, her career hasn’t been straight-forward and like many, financial difficulties have plagued her racing. After having a 4-year break, since 2014 she has been back racing, helping to develop her new team, SPV Racing’s, new electric car. Knowing the support young drivers need, she donated over 400 of her trophies to be reused by the Finish Motorsport Association. Speaking of the support racers need, she advised anyone wanting a motorsport career: “the passion for the sport itself is really important. You must want to do it and to be ready to sacrifice a lot of time and effort. But the most important thing is the support. Without it, it’s impossible to succeed or even start the sport. Along the way when you find people that are trusting in you and helping you, take good care of them and remember to be grateful for their effort, as no one is successful alone. Motorsport is a team sport and it’s important to enjoy it.”"

"ANTWERP (Belgium) - Iberostar Tenerife ensured they would be returning to the Basketball Champions League Final following a 70-54 win over Telenet Giants Antwerp on Friday evening.\n\nIn front of a packed house of more than 17,000 people at the Sportpaleis, it was underdogs Antwerp who struck early before Tenerife's championship calibre shone through to overturn a deficit, dominating the second and fourth quarters behind the play of Nicolas Brussino.\n\nBrussino went for 17 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists for 2017 Champions Tenerife, whilst Javier Beiran had 14 and Pierre-Antoine Gillet joined them in double figures with a crucial 11.\n\n\"It's a great opportunity to come back to Belgium and play such a tournament,\" Gillet said.\n\n\"At the beginning we tried to look and find each other, first quarter we had a lot of turnovers, but second quarter we only gave up 6 points and that was the key tonight. We won the battle of the rebounds and that was also a main key.\"\n\n13 points a piece from Tyler Kalinoski and Jae'Sean Tate led Antwerp, who will now focus on third place. Meanwhile, Paris Lee was held to less than 7 points for the first time in his Basketball Champions League career, managing just 4 on 1-of-9 shooting.\n\n\"I want to congratulate Tenerife for making it to the Championship game,\" Lee said. \"They did a very good job of getting us out of our rhythm. I thought we matched their intensity at the beginning, but as the game went on, I think their experience showed today. \"\n\nBrussino got a steal and dunk on the first possession, perhaps being an ominous sign of things to come, but it was Antwerp who got the early double-digit lead behind a balanced team effort sparked by Jae'Sean Tate.\n\nHowever, behind the 3-point shooting of Gillet, who knocked down his third triple to tie it up at 24 with a little over five minutes to play in the half, Tenerife fought back. They locked down defensively to hold Antwerp scoreless for the final 4:36 of the half, to take a 31-26 lead into the break following a 16-2 run.\n\nA 10-2 run to start the third, including back to back hook shots from Beiran, gave Tenerife their first double digit lead of the game, 41-31 with 5 minutes to play. Antwerp responded with a run of their own to pull within five heading into the final period.\n\nA 4-point play from Brussino to open the fourth put Tenerife back up by 9, before he knocked down another triple to put Tenerife up double digits from which point they would not look back, cruising their way into the Final on Sunday.",

"Kimi Makwetu: How SA can rid itself of wasteful, fruitless, unauthorised and irregular expenditure",
null,
"Alexandra residents march to Sandton after shutting down the township. Picture: Sandile Ndlovu\n\n*Editor’s note: Kimi Makwetu passed away on Wednesday (November 11, 2020) after suffering from stage four lung cancer. The outgoing Auditor-General was serving his last month in office. This Voices article was originally published in March 2020.\n\nIn recent times, South Africans have been numbed by the sheer staggering numbers of wasteful, fruitless, unauthorised and irregular expenditure.\n\nIn common definition, this is the type of expenditure that should not be tolerated by citizens whatever technical justifications are attached to their occurrence.\n\nThe very existence of such expenditure suggests that those who persistently incur it are not bothered as long as there is no accountability or consequences.\n\nOver the years, auditors-general have reported these matters with very negative audit outcomes.\n\nThis indicates that people entrusted with public money do not always carry this task with the level of care required by the country’s Constitution.\n\nIt is not about whether there is such a thing as “a clean audit” or “it does not necessarily mean money was lost” or “there was corruption” when lame defences are mounted against irregular expenditure.\n\nIt means accountability and due care in managing public resources are not part of the overall objective.\n\nAs a consequence, we have been exposed to many projects that are abandoned midstream.\n\nSuppliers are being paid far more than the amount to which was initially agreed.\n\nExtensions and variations on contracts without following prescribed regulations are prevalent and pervasive.\n\nThere is a widespread lack of proper and verifiable documentation to substantiate commitments and transactions.\n\nThese are cumulative observations and negative findings over a decade and a half.\n\nThe worst has been a lack of due care in managing finances.\n\nThese weaknesses are common across all spheres and have found particular pride of place in local government.\n\nIt is shocking that people without the requisite skills and competencies are charged with handling citizens’ finances.\n\nThis shows utter disrespect to both taxpayers and non-taxpaying citizens – all of whom are often on the receiving end of services that are not delivered or are, at best, shoddily delivered and not even worth the paper on which they are written.\n\nThese finance weaknesses will often find expression in the books of the institution not being constantly and regularly checked and balanced.\n\nThe people entrusted with this task do not feel guilty when they cannot explain certain transactions when auditors make enquiries.\n\nIn certain cases, external consultants engaged to prepare the books and financial statements are asked to explain these transactions to the auditors.\n\nHow do you do this when the consultant is clearly not accountable for anything they say?\n\nLet alone that they themselves were not favoured with supporting documents to explain certain adjustments they process through the accounts – a local government nightmare.\n\nIt is not uncommon for documentation supporting a transaction to be unavailable, again without any consequences when this becomes the new normal.\n\nThe many laws that govern public finances are all clear as to the responsibilities of those charged with the administration and superintendence of these finances.\n\nThey even stretch to the extent of prescribing certain sanctions should deviant behaviour persist.\n\nThe leadership outside the administrative functions are assigned the most significant role, with a clear bias towards preventing and correcting wrongdoing and the flagrant disregard of financial management disciplines.\n\nIn addition, the work of the Auditor-General has always cautioned against the devastating affect this is having on accountability – one of the key tenets of our Constitution – and the achievement of planned objectives, including delivering various services to citizens and much-needed infrastructure to the economy in general.\n\nWhen the matter of the persistent disregard of our audit findings and recommendations was examined after about 15 years of “singing a sweet song like an owl sitting on an oak tree”, the amendment of the Public Audit Act became the only plausible option left on the table.\n\nThis step was preceded by many years of initiatives by the audit office – from door-to-door campaigns at all municipalities between 2009 and 2012 to regular briefings of all public representatives, accounting officers and various other bodies across the country.\n\nKey messages continue to advocate good financial management control and governance to promote transparency and accountability by those looking after other people’s money.\n\nAt this point impunity was beginning to take centre stage as evidenced through the audit outcomes. Impunity cannot coexist with accountability.\n\nThe intervention of the Public Audit Act amendments seeks to achieve what is traditionally the role of those charged with oversight if this task is carried out with due care, diligence and professional competence.\n\nIn addition, the public purse is hugely exposed not only to those who handle the decisions and actions that trigger the flow of money but also to those outside public institutions once they detect that the preventive controls are not at a level designed to protect the money.",
null,
"Auditors, by the very nature of their work, perform tests on transactions after the money has been spent or received as well as after assets have been generated or obligations entered into with third parties.\n\nThe actions often sought by auditors take place after money has exchanged hands.\n\nIt is most difficult to recover such monies in an environment in which everybody exercises their rights – the “I’ll take you to court to protect my rights” kind of refrain.\n\nThe experience is that the audited institution often spends additional money before it can even entertain the prospect of recovering that which had been lost.\n\nWhat are these additional powers of the Auditor-General?\n\nThe Auditor-General is mandated to inspect and report on the books of account of all institutions that are publicly funded.\n\nPut simply, all the institutions and entities that were allocated money by Minister Tito Mboweni must be subjected to a level of scrutiny by the Auditor-General to determine, through the audit report, whether this money (R1.9 trillion, in other words, 12 zeros before the comma) was spent, managed, accounted for and reported in accordance with the financial laws of the country.\n\nOnce a report is issued, the leaders are required to attend to the matters raised in the report as they are often those matters that create leakages.\n\nWhen all of this proved too slow to react to or was completely disregarded, the Auditor-General agreed with its oversight committee in Parliament to amend the Public Audit Act.\n\nThese amendments introduced the concept of a material irregularity in the audit of the financial statements of any entity that is subject to an audit by the Auditor-General.\n\nThis means that whenever the Auditor-General performs an audit, the staff on the audit must satisfy themselves, through various tests of transactions, account balances and systems of control, that there has been no noncompliance or contravention of a financial statute; that the entity is not exposed to situations of fraud which could result in a financial loss or the loss of a public asset; or that the entity is not deprived of providing certain services due to the financial losses incurred.\n\nIf a financial loss has been incurred, the auditors are required to source from the accounting officer steps that will be taken to recover the loss; or if the loss is continuing, steps to be taken to stop it.\n\nIn certain instances, the accounting officer will be required to quantify the extent of the financial loss should the auditors decide that there is indeed a material irregularity.\n\nThe Auditor-General is empowered, once a material irregularity has been identified or is suspected, to:\n\nThese are clearly onerous responsibilities added to the already tough and contested terrain that is the mandate of the audit office.\n\nThere are immediate and medium-term steps that can be prioritised to operate alongside these powers if the objective were to be achieved.\n\nIf the whole of government invests in activating preventative controls across the key areas of accountability, it would not be necessary to activate the new powers.\n\nIf properly designed and implemented, such controls would detect most material irregularities that could result in a financial loss.\n\nThese controls are proactive and are an eloquent expression of the key guards being at their posts at all times.\n\nThis is relatively cheaper than relying on investigations that would be triggered after money has changed hands in ways that are not credible or transparent.\n\nIn essence, preventive controls are an invincible fortress against all possible abuses of the public purse.\n\nFor a regime of preventive controls to see the light of day, a strong tone at the top and an ethical culture must be the concrete foundation on which such a discipline is built.\n\nThis requirement is no different to what should be in place if the amended powers of the Auditor-General are to have a lasting effect.\n\nWhere preventive controls are implemented with diligence, they become a natural source of consequences.\n\nSo there will be no need to debate so-called “consequence management” – consequences will simply be part of the outcome.\n\nStrong preventive controls create tension especially when consequences are part of the deal.\n\nIt is the positive and progressive tension that must be embraced as it makes preventive controls work for the entire value chain.\n\nShould these new powers be interpreted as a constructive contribution to revitalising the concept of accountability, a strong foundation for proper financial management and related service delivery will emerge.\n\nMakwetu is the Auditor-General of South Africa\n\nWe live in a world where facts and fiction get blurred\nIn times of uncertainty you need journalism you can trust.

"Kathy Barton talks about her history with food waste…\n\nMy father grew up in America during the Great Depression. I was therefore raised in a culture where nothing was wasted. The butter paper and jam jars were scraped for every last morsel. We ate old fruit first which meant the fresh fruit became the ‘old’ fruit by the end of the fortnight. Fruit that past its prime became fruit crumble.\n\nEvery Saturday was left over day. Since we all ate together, everything came out of the fridge and was heated up. A piece of pork chop would be carefully divided into 6 portions. Roast beef would be chopped up and put in gravy to be put on toast. Odds and ends of veg would be made into soup with some stock, with left over rice or pasta going in as well.\n\nWe never had snacks, only three meals a day, so what was put on the table was eaten. There was rarely a chance for food to go mouldy. If there was a spot on the cheese, it was carefully removed leaving the remainder good as new.\n\nMy mother shopped according to a list, buying only what she knew she would use. Of course, we didn’t have quite the food selection we do now and we were on a budget. Maybe this is why we never wasted food?\n\nToday so much food is thrown away every year. As I ride my bike, I dodge apples laying littered in the gutter, having fallen from an overhanging apple tree.",

"I have several university students as lodgers. I see tubs of margarine being thrown in the bin when there is enough margarine left inside to cover several pieces of toast. I spot half a loaf of bread in the rubbish bin too. Why don’t they freeze half of it if they think it will get stale before they can eat it all?\n\nI see soft tomatoes going off. Why not cook them for a few minutes with some onion and herbs to make a tasty sauce? With all the cooking programs on TV, isn’t there one that will show people how to use what’s in the fridge and the cupboard?\n\nWhat makes us a nation so willing to throw out perfectly good food? Are we too busy to be creative with leftovers? Have we lost the skills needed? Do we believe leftovers are a health hazard? Are bargains making us buy more than we can use?"

"Spain has the most blue flag beaches in the world, the Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE) – the body that awards the coveted status – confirmed on Thursday.\n\nThe country has been awarded 577 blue flag beaches for 2015, four more than last year, confirming Spain’s crown as the country with the best beaches on earth; it has led the worldwide rankings since FEE began the awards in 1987.\n\nOne out of every six blue flags on the world’s beaches is in Spain, FEE confirmed. Galicia is the Spanish region with the most blue flag beaches, with 131, followed by Valencia, with 120 and Catalonia with 89.\n\nSpain is followed in the international rankings by Turkey, which boasts 436 blue flag beaches, Greece with 395 and France with 379.",

"The blue flag is a symbol of the environmental quality of beaches and is awarded on the basis of four criteria: environmental education and information, water quality, environmental management and safety and services.\n\nThe FEE, whose jury included the UN Environment Programme and the UN World Tourism Organization, awarded 4,159 blue flags this year, the NGO told The Local in a statement.\n\nIt is good news for Spain as the country enters one of the busiest times of year, peak holiday season.\n\nIt is far from the first plaudit that has been bestowed on Spain this year; it was recently voted the most tourist friendly country in the world",

"Originally intended for use in Ireland, many collectors include a Hibernia halfpence in their collections due to the kinship with Wood’s Rosa Americana series which was produced for use in the Americas. This particular coin features an inked “Q” on the obverse. Early collectors often inked the variety attributions on the obverse of their coins, most often seen on the state coinages of Connecticut and New Jersey. This coin is of the 11 harp strings variety with dots after “Hibernia” and the date on the reverse.",

"With the scooter segment playing an increasingly important role in two-wheeler companies’ fortunes in India, it was only a matter of time before Yamaha joined the party. Enter the Cygnus Ray – which we’d henceforth call only Ray. Astronomically implied to be a strong ray of cosmic light in the galaxy, will it be strong enough to outshine its rivals? We find out",
null,
"Targeting the urban female riders, the Ray appears marginally diminutive in size when compared with other unisex and male targeted scooters. Having said that it’s not too small either. The front styling is striking to say the least. With the unified headlight-blinker combo, a front forward stance and a zig-zag inner styling of the apron the Ray is an evolved design with just the right dose of sportiness sprinkled in. That prominent crease under the headlight running around the front apron makes the Ray look the most pleasing to eye when viewed from the front three quarters. The Yamaha logo on the flanks looks really cool, and adds an air of internationality to the product.\n\nIn profile, the silver finish wheels on our test scooter managed to add a nice contrast to the maroon-black body color of the scoot. The Ray, while being angular and chiseled at the front is more flowy towards the end. The rear panels taper towards the footboard with a slight curve at the end. The pointy black panels merging into the body coloured units add a sense of speed and raciness to the rear. The tail-lamps are unified unit with blinkers flanking the brake lamp. There is a nice interplay of two tones (black and maroon in this case) throughout the length and breadth of the machine, and the black grab rails go well with the treatment.",
null,
"All in all, the Ray is an attractive scoot to look at. Though it doesn’t adorn the retro-glam quotient of the Vespa or the slashy cuts of the Dio, it exhibits a more evolved and balanced approach to design. A well streamlined and flowing design looks pleasing to the eye, with precise cuts and creases merging at the right places, it’s difficult to spot a distortion on the Ray. The styling doesn’t particularly look feminine or masculine from any angle. While Yamaha are targeting it as a female centric scooter, we really think it could have passed as a unisex machine with flying colors.",
null,
"The Ray is propelled by a 113cc air-cooled, 4-stroke, SOHC, 2-valve engine. Power output is rated at 7.1PS @ 7,500 rpm while peak torque is 8.1 Nm @ 5000 rpm. Now those figures may not be class leading, but are pretty much at par with the segment, and good enough to haul this machine rather peppily around town. At 104 kg, the Ray is a light scooter, and the fact really helps it get upto speed in good time.\n\nThe engine exhibits typical Yamaha traits – rev happy with a rather peaky power delivery. While there is reasonable power on tap at low revs, the engine comes into its element only when you wring the throttle a bit and let the revs build. The Ray sings a whirry tune, which is quite unique to it. There is a sense of sportiness about the way it sounds, every bit a Yamaha.",
null,
"The comparatively smaller dimensions might fool you into thinking that the Ray wouldn’t be a fast enough machine, but it turns out to be a restless, clawy cat as you wring the throttle. Twist the throttle and except for a minor initial lag, it pulls away with agility and plucks numbers on the speedo in pretty quick time. Though we didn’t clock the acceleration and top speed timings, we did manage to once casually check the top speed on the GPS showing 82.33 kph. There is, however a massive error on the analogue speedo whose needle swings all the way to the extreme marking of 120km/h. That’s an optimistic error of as much as 50%. It may have been an error specific to the test scoot, but it it’s not, then Yamaha Motor India should fix it as quickly as possible.",
null,
"The Ray comes across as an exceptional machine when it comes to road-holding and balance. It is extremely well mannered on cornering and composed even when rushing at top of its breath. The smaller dimensions aid in quick change of direction while riding in traffic as well as while taking on those sweeping curves. The telescopic front and springs at the rear perform decent suspension duties in consuming the usual irregularities without a worry. The rear feels softer than the front and it is only when the undulations get overly disturbing does the Ray start to bounce and jerk. In usual road conditions it’s a composed little machin.\n\nBraking is one of the highlights of the Ray – an absolutely remarkable trait. From sudden stops while ambling around in traffic to shedding speed at the higher end- it does the job in the most reassuring manner a scooter can. We’re at a loss to recollect if we had a braking experience as the Ray on any scooter we have put to test before. We’d give an A+ here just for the braking.",
null,
"Focus on quality and finish has been one of Yamaha’s fortes as a manufacturer, as evident on their R and FZ series of motorcycles. The quality on the Ray is no exception. From the paint to the matt finished plastic panels to the engine- everything impresses with the quality and finish. Even the rear tyre hugger though out of direct line of a human eye looks top notch. With such a superior package at hand, the only disappointment has been the instrument console. Though we are not complaining about the quality here, we wish the design were more contemporary and classier. The switchgear is well finished and evokes a sense of quality and durability on operation – so much so that it might embarrass a few motorcycles on quality front.",
null,
"We applaud Yamaha for paying attention to some important features and utilities on the Ray. The seat angle is relatively flat and well contoured with less tapering angle towards the tail. Coupled with good quality non-slipping rexine seat cover, it ensures that you don’t slide ahead on hard braking or on bumpy roads. Even with a pillion on board, there is no sliding ahead under hard braking.\n\nThe seat height on the Ray is relatively lower, this aids putting both feet on the ground during emergency halts. Since the scoot is targeted at female riders, this comes across as a great feature, as we found out by asking a few members of the fairer sex.\n\nFootpegs for the pillion nicely fold into the footboard. They aid the pillion rider to transfer weight and aid him to brace himself under emergency braking. The only hassle is while moving around in slow moving traffic trying to squeeze in between tight gaps when the rider’s feet tend to interfere with the pegs.",
null,
"The underseat storage is one of the areas where the Ray doesn’t exactly shine though. It is only spacious enough to swallow a small size helmet. An open face Vega Boolean was struggling to find space down under. Thankfully Yamaha has compensated for the lack of underseat space on the outside in form of two cubbies at the front and a bag hook. Though it might look unnecessary at times, it’s a pretty useful addition to carry a cleaning cloth and store a water bottle in peak summer with the hook taking off the weight of your shoulders by holding a bag or a large handbag in case of ladies.\n\nThe side stand is a boon, and is provided given as standard equipment. The mirrors take care of the rear viewing duties and the grab rails are comfortable to hold for pillion. The headlight spread is impressive for a scooter in dark. The horn though typically a scooter sounds louder than the puny horns that come on premium motorcycles.\n\nFrom the manufacturer’s point of view, Yamaha definitely deserves applause to have come out with an extremely competitive product at the very first attempt in an arena flooded with similar products by every other competing brand. The Ray is one of those machines you can just hop onto and feel at ease right from the word go. It’s quick, sure footed and a very comfortable. It’s a handy tool to wriggle in and out of the urbanscape and certainly looks and feels well built. Though we’re certain that the female population would instantly fall for the Ray, the overall stature of the scoot MIGHT woo the male crowd as well making it a capable unisex scooter. If it was not for the smaller dimensions, we would completely disregarded Yamaha’s focus on catering to the ladies-only market as they have been advertising it to be with the leggy Ms. Padukone as their brand ambassador. At Rs 46 k ex-Delhi, it’s slightly pricier than some of its competition, but the immaculate build quality, styling, performance and brand name add up to somewhat justify that small premium.\n\nWe had an extended stint with the Ray serving us for more than 400 kms from squeezing out of packed traffic to open highway runs. When the time came to hand over the bike back to the Yamaha Factory Showroom in Malad, Mumbai who had been extremely cooperative in the arrangement, we realized that the little scoot had found its way into our hearts. Walking away from it in the parking lot, heads turned and we said “All good things come in small packages, they definitely do!”"

"You read that right, a ten-year-old kid in Finland has just hacked into Instagram and found a glitch that would have allowed him to delete and edit any comment on the site. Being the good kid that he is, he alerted Instagram, and they paid him a whopping US$10,000 for finding the error and helping them get it fixed!\n\nFirst reported by the Finnish tabloid Iltalethi, a boy named Jani found a way to infiltrate himself into the Instagram's servers and delete any comment or text on literally any post. Considering that the boy is 10 years old and can't technically have an Instagram account yet, this accomplishment is quite astounding.\n\nAfter the boy found the error, he emailed Instagram as part of their bug bounty program, according to Gizmodo. This program gives users the ability to collect a reward for finding bugs and problems in the site's code.\n\nActing in good favor, Instagram paid Jani 5.6 times what they normally would, landing the boy a pretty penny in his bank account. It is reported that the boy and his brother have been trying to find bugs in many websites for a while, and this is the first one they have been paid for finding. So how do you think the kid is spending his cash? He's planning on buying a new bike and football of course."

"Rich in history and natural beauty, Portugal is a destination filled with culture and culinary diversity. Set on the Iberian Peninsula facing the Atlantic Ocean, it’s home to some of Europe’s oldest cities and a bounty of ingredients from seafood to vineyards.",

"Wine, beaches, history and glorious food! Portugal has so much to offer it should definitely be on your bucket list.\n\nIn the south, the Algarve boasts some of the most beautiful beaches that you will ever see. Grottos, caves, cliffs, and rock formations tower over turquoise blue-green waters. Each city along the Algarve coast has its own unique offerings, from the international town of Tavira to the small surf town of Sagres, once known as the edge of the world.\n\nAbove the Algarve is the Alentejo region known for its olive oil, Alentejo wine, and beaches. Then there are the cities of Lisbon and Porto, perched upon hillsides that boast epic views. These cities are known for their international vibes, good food, history, culture and so much more.\n\nThen there is the little-known and often never visited area of Central and North Portugal, the green heart of the country. Here nature enthusiasts can explore beautiful mountains like the Serra da Estrela, swim in lakes and rivers, and get lost in lush green forests.\n\nIn addition to its fascinating cities such as Lisbon and Porto, we also can’t forget the islands, Madeira and the Azores.\n\nThese two separate yet unforgettable archipelagos that feel like you stepped into another world.\n\nThe best time to visit Portugal depends on where you go. Portugal is one of those countries where the weather stays warmer, longer.\n\nIt starts getting warm around April/May and the warm weather extends until mid-October. The hottest months of the year are July and August, which is also peak tourism season. Temperatures during the summertime can vary between 24°C to low 30°C.\n\nWinter is also beautiful in Portugal and if you do want to come during the wintertime, make sure you go to Serra da Estrela where you can enjoy snow activities, like skiing.\n\nIn terms of the weather on the islands, Madeira and the Azores are known for their subtropical weather. The best months to visit Madeira is between August and September.\n\nPortugal is still a country where you can enjoy a lot without having to spend too much. You just need to forgo touristy areas, and instead look for local establishments, hotels, and restaurants.\n\nLisbon and Porto, the two main cities in Portugal, can be quite affordable if you do a little research. The cost per night for a hotel is around €50 – €80 per night for double occupancy in a 3-star hotel.\n\nIf you want to splurge, there are also options for that. A good meal, which includes drinks at a Portuguese restaurant is about €40 for two people.\n\nAs with most things in Portugal, prices in Portugal depend on where you go. If you plan on going to the famous Time Out Market in Lisbon, then lunch can easily be €50 per person.\n\nInstead, it you opt for eating traditional Portuguese food where the locals eat, a delicious lunch can cost as little as €10 per person\n\nThe cities are also walkable but are very hilly. If you do want to take public transportation, instead opt for UBER. A ride across the city will cost you around €5.\n\nThe cost of staying on the Azores Islands is also quite similar to the mainland cities. Expect to pay around €83 for accommodation and €60-75 for food and local transport.\n\nWhen traveling to Portugal you must pack a couple of key things, which include:\n\nWhile Portugal is famous for its stunning natural landscapes, historic architecture and warm hospitality, the depth and diversity of traditional Portu…\n\nEND_OF_DOCUMENT_TOKEN_TO_BE_REPLACED\n\nHere’s a complete guide to the best hotels on São Miguel Island in the Azores, Portugal for locally-inspired, creative cuisine!\n\nEND_OF_DOCUMENT_TOKEN_TO_BE_REPLACED\n\nIf you’re planning a trip to Lisbon, love food and are wondering where to shop for food souvenirs, the absolute best place to go is the store th…\n\nEND_OF_DOCUMENT_TOKEN_TO_BE_REPLACED\n\nPlanning a vacation in the Azores?

"Albania has strenuously denied it is willing to process people crossing the Channel to Britain, after the UK deputy prime minister, ドミニク・ラーブ, confirmed that the government is exploring ways of processing asylum seekers abroad.\n\nAlbania’s foreign minister, Olta Xhaçka, and its ambassador to the UK, Qirjako Qirko, dismissed as a “fake news” a report in the Times suggesting Albania would be willing to host people arriving in the UK from France in small boats.\n\nRaab appeared to give credence to the report by telling Times Radio: “We are looking at international partnerships that can take the processing out of the UK in order to try and reduce the pull factor which means people think they can successfully take advantage of these routes.”\n\nOn Sky News later, when Raab was asked if people seeking asylum in the UK would be flown to Albania, 彼は言った: “Well that’s one country, but we are willing to look with partners at whether it’s possible to do this international processing.”\n\nBut Tirana reacted angrily to the report. Xhaçka tweeted an image of the front page of the Times and said: “Same old fake news this time in the front page of a respected paper as The Times! And btw I am not a ‘he’ but a ‘she’ who has always admired the quality of British media. Sad.”\n\nQirko said he was “furious” about the report because on Wednesday he had told the Times “at least 10 times that Albania will never, ever agree to this kind of approach regarding immigrants coming from France.”\n\nガーディアンと話す, 彼は言った: “It is totally fake. They don’t mention a single word regarding the reality and they write what they prefer.\n\n“I’m a lawyer. Albania has no jurisdiction to decide if an immigrant is legal or illegal. The international convention has arranged everything in detail regarding the process of assessing asylum seekers. The British courts will decide, not the Albania courts.”\n\nIn letter of complaint to the Times, Qirko said: “There are no bilateral talks between Albanian and British government officials regarding processing centres for illegal immigrants crossing the English Channel.”\n\n追加しました: “The Albanian government will never agree to [インクルード] opening of such processing centres for illegal immigrants as this is an act violates the international law.”\n\nProcessing asylum seekers abroad was started by Australia, first in Papua New Guinea and now on the Pacific island of Nauru.\n\nラーブ, who is also the justice secretary, defended the UK exploring similar ideas. He told Sky: “I think it’s right, there’s practice around the world in relation to this, to look at these the possibilities of international partnerships for international processing of some of these claims.”\n\nHe said the government was trying to stop people crossing the Channel in boats. “We’ve seen 19,000 crossings stopped this year alone, 65 convictions secured of the predatory criminal gangs that thrive on this miserable trade. The home secretary has been engaged with her opposite number in France this week. Their determination is to eliminate all of these illegal crossings,\" 彼は言った.\n\n“As well as focusing on regional processing, which is probably the optimum way of dealing with refugees as close to source as possible … we want to look with international partners at how we reduce the pull factor. That is, the incentives for the criminal gangs to try and bring people from these wartorn zones. We’ll look at all of the legitimate means of doing that.”\n\nEnver Solomon, the chief executive of the Refugee Council, condemned the offshore processing plan as cruel and likely to be ineffective.\n\n彼は言った: “This is a desperate measure from a government that can only think of how to show cruelty and heartlessness towards our fellow human beings in search of safety. Offshore processing in Albania won’t work as a deterrent, leading to longer delays and an even more dysfunctional asylum system, as well as being a big waste of money.\n\n“Instead this government should focus on addressing Channel crossings through an ambitious expansion of existing safe routes, introducing a humanitarian visa system and recognising that many people seeking asylum will have no other option but to take dangerous journeys and they should always be given a fair hearing on UK soil.”\n\nA groundbreaking scheme overseen by UNHCR to process women’s asylum claims in the community rather than by locking up the applicants in detention has led to only one being granted leave to remain in the UK, によると ..."

"Skip to content\nThe Air Force is testing the possibility of tapping into commercially provided space Internet via satellites like SpaceX's Starlink constellation, shown heading into orbit in May 2019. SpaceX photo.\nExpand Photo",
null,
"An Air Force investigation into how the service could piggyback on the commercial industry’s broadband Internet satellites for cheaper, better communication is moving forward to include two key combat platforms.\n\nThe experimentation and prototyping effort, known as Defense Experimentation Using the Commercial Space Internet, or “Global Lightning,” is run by the Air Force Research Laboratory, which has partnered with companies like SpaceX, Iridium, OneWeb, L3Harris, and others from 2018 to 2022 to put communications terminals on aircraft and see how well they share data with satellites and their associated ground terminals. USAF is also looking into the possibility of leasing commercial space Internet as a service, rather than buying large amounts of equipment itself.\n\n“We’re not focused just on any one company,” Greg Spanjers, chief scientist at AFRL’s Strategic Development Planning and Experimentation office, told reporters Nov. 5. “Our intent is to characterize the performance and understand the pros and cons of all of the commercial systems when used on military platforms.”\n\nSo far, researchers have used a C-12 to vet data transfer rates with experimental SpaceX satellites. Next week, the program plans to test out data-sharing with the AC-130, followed by the KC-135 in spring or summer 2020, according to Global Lightning Program Manager Brian Beal. Those are large, popular platforms that comprise sizable fleets and are used in areas where commanders wish they had more ability to share information, according to AFRL.\n\nTheir work also explores the authorities and other steps the Air Force needs to take to transition the idea to operational use.\n\nProgram officials said the tests have proven out much higher Internet connection and data-transfer rates than Air Force aircraft can currently receive. That means faster access to video, weather, and other data in flight, though the service hasn’t tied the capability to a particular type of mission.\n\n“It’s the difference between getting low data-rate text messages and high-[definition], full-motion video,” Spanjers said. “Your high-def TV at home is probably about 5 megabits per second data rate. That’s a data rate well above most of the Air Force platforms that we’re dealing with.”\n\nThe military is waiting for commercial industry to build its satellite communications constellations on orbit, such as SpaceX’s Starlink array, so it can tap into the capability on a large scale.\n\nGoing forward, the service will also run tests with Lockheed Martin’s open radio architecture that allows comms to switch between satellite constellations. The Air Force wants to be able to move between the systems of various companies as hardware or other changes as possible.\n\nAnother prong of the effort will work with Ball Aerospace and Army Futures Command on a phased array radar mounted atop a moving ground vehicle to test communications with spacecrafts in three different orbits.\n\nSeveral additional contracts are due out in the coming years for further testing, according to AFRL."

"The Xiaomi Mi Band is possibly Huami’s biggest success story even though it makes its own Amazfit branded fitness wearables too. While we await the launch of the Mi Band 5 (also a Huami-made product) the company has started teasing a new smartwatch called the Amazfit Ares.\n\nHuami first acknowledged the existence of the fitness watch back in April. It has now confirmed that the watch will launch on May 19.\n\nAn official teaser posted by the company on Weibo shows the octagonal shape of the Amazfit Ares. It appears to have four navigation buttons on both sides and is shown in green and black colorways.\n\nAdditionally, it features a color display and a familiar UI that we’ve also seen on previous Amazfit watches. The wearable is teased to come with over 70 different sports modes, Firstbeat training analysis features, and more.\n\nIs it a rugged smartwatch?\n\nThe Amazfit Ares looks like it’s built to survive shocks, drops, and possibly water immersion. The display seems to be protected by a thick plastic and rubber enclosure. Even the straps look like they’re made out of a durable silicone material. Given its chunky design and the fact that official teaser images show it in a jungle-like background, the Ares could turn out to be a rugged smartwatch.\n\nWe don’t know much else about it yet, but we expect the watch will have features like built-in GPS, a heart-rate sensor, sleep tracking, and more.\n\nAs far as Amazfit smartwatches go, Huami manages to do a decent job in terms of design, battery life, and watch UI. However, its accompanying app is pretty cumbersome and so is the software update process. There are also no third apps available onboard Amazfit watches, which is a bummer.\n\nWe hope the brand can work on these aspects to improve the user experience of its wearables going forward.\n\nWant cheap true wireless earbuds? Look out for the Amazfit PowerBuds in 2020\n\nThis Amazfit watch looks like a straight up Apple Watch ripoff, but it’s not bad"

"Overwatch League tokens are a new form of in-game currency that will be introduced early next year for a very exclusive and special purpose.\n\nThey will be used by the community to purchase the upcoming regional uniforms, jersey-styled skins, for all the participating twelve teams in the Overwatch League. This includes twelve skins, branded differently for each franchise, for every single playable hero in the game. That makes it 312 skins in total for collectors.\n\nAccording to commissioner Nate Nanzer, purchasing Overwatch League tokens for Overwatch League skins will “provide monetary support for the teams” involved. This is similar to the summoner icons in League of Legends and stickers in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. However, it has not been clarified as to how the revenue will be divided between the developer and teams.\n\nThe specially colored uniforms will function as in-game skins for the home and away teams in competitive Overwatch events. They were announced a couple of weeks back as a necessity to improve the spectator experience. The home variants are much brighter while the away versions are darker. The former will be the only ones available for purchase early next year with the new currency."

"BOZEMAN — Weber State has so far given two Mountain West teams all they could handle, trounced Big Sky Conference rival Cal Poly in a non-league matchup and thwarted Northern Iowa of the powerful Missouri Valley Football Conference in a top-10 showdown.\n\nA pretty good resume, to be sure. Now the Wildcats are set to begin the Big Sky portion of their schedule as they travel to Idaho this week. It will be the first matchup between the teams since 1995.\n\nWeber State (2-2) is carrying the No. 4 ranking in the STATS FCS Top 25, making it the highest-ranked of the five Big Sky teams in the poll.\n\nThe Wildcats, under fifth-year coach Jay Hill, are doing it with defense. WSU currently ranks No. 1 in the Big Sky in four defensive categories, including scoring defense (16.5 ppg), pass defense (202.2 ypg) and turnover margin (plus-5).\n\nThe Wildcats lost at FBS San Diego State in Week 1 by a 6-0 score, then had a shot against another Mountain West school two weeks later but fell 19-13 at Nevada. They allowed one touchdown combined in those two games.\n\nWSU then held Cal Poly well below its season rushing average in a 41-24 win in Week 2, and had two defensive takeaways last week while beating then-No. 9 UNI 29-17.\n\nThe defensive end trio of Jonah Williams, McKade Mitton and Adam Rodriguez has combined for 8.5 sacks for the Wildcats, while cornerback Marque Collins has broken up five passes, second-most in the conference.\n\nWeber State has won a share of the Big Sky title in each of the past two seasons and is a candidate to at least match that this season.\n\nThe Wildcats’ No. 4 ranking is not the highest they’ve climbed in Hill’s tenure: They reached as high as No. 3 last November and maintained it until a 23-18 quarterfinal playoff loss to Maine.\n\nThis time, things were different for Montana.\n\nThe Grizzlies, behind QB Dalton Sneed’s 268-yard, five-touchdown performance, knocked off UC Davis 45-20 on the road last week. The win exorcised some demons from last season, when UM let a 21-3 halftime lead slip away at home against the Aggies.\n\nSneed completed 66% of his passes, and his five touchdown throws matched a career high. He also added 81 rushing yards. On Monday, and for the second consecutive week, Sneed earned the Big Sky’s offensive player of the week award.\n\n“He’s completing passes at a high rate, high percentage,” Montana coach Bobby Hauck said of Sneed during a press conference in Missoula on Monday. “He’s getting us into the right play calls, both run and pass. He’s making plays with his feet. Just really operating quite efficiently.”\n\nIf it could, Northern Arizona would probably just as soon skip halftime. The second-half has not been kind to the Lumberjacks in recent weeks.\n\nNAU led Montana State by three touchdowns at one point in the first half but gave up 35 unanswered points in the second half in a 49-31 loss. The Lumberjacks’ defense surrendered 244 rushing yards and five touchdowns on the ground in the final 30 minutes.\n\nThe week prior, they were outscored by two touchdowns in the third quarter of a 40-27 loss at Illinois State.\n\nUNC’s Milo Hall is becoming one of the premier featured running backs in the Big Sky.\n\nHall had a career-high 39 carries for 141 yards and a touchdown in the Bears’ 27-24 victory over Idaho last week. Hall, a Wyoming transfer and a former three-star recruit from the Denver area, has carried the ball a league-high 124 times, an average of roughly 25 rushing attempts per game.\n\nYou knew Montana’s victory at UC Davis would vault the Grizzlies forward in this week’s STATS Top 25 FCS poll. On Monday, UM jumped a whopping 10 spots to No. 8, marking its first appearance in the top 10 since September 2016.\n\nNorthern Colorado CB Michael Walker was named the Big Sky defensive player of the week. Walker intercepted two passes in the red zone to help preserve the win against Idaho, and became the first Bears player to have two INTs in a game since 2013. … Weber State P Doug Lloyd pinned Northern Iowa on its own 2-yard line three times to earn the league’s special teams player of the week nod.\n\nFrank Gogola of the Missoulian and 406mtsports.com contributed to this report"

General relativity is a fundamental key for the understanding of these observations and its theory is undergoing a continuing enhancement of its intersection with observational and experimental data. These data include direct observations and experiments carried out in our solar system, among which there are direct gravitational wave astronomy, frame dragging and tests of gravitational theories from solar system and spacecraft observations.\n\nThis book explores John Archibald Wheeler's seminal and enduring contributions in relativistic astrophysics and includes: the General Theory of Relativity and Wheeler's influence; recent developments in the confrontation of relativity with experiments; the theory describing gravitational radiation, and its detection in Earth-based and space-based interferometer detectors as well as in Earth-based bar detectors; the mathematical description of the initial value problem in relativity and applications to modeling gravitational wave sources via computational relativity; the phenomenon of frame dragging and its measurement by satellite observations. All of these areas were of direct interest to Professor John A. Wheeler and were seminally influenced by his ideas.\n\nProduktdetails\nAutorenporträt\nRichard Matzner earned his Ph.D. in 1967 from The University of Maryland. He has been involved since then in questions of cosmology, of gravitational radiation, and of black hole physics. He has been Director of The Center for Relativity at The University of Texas at Austin since 1987. In 1993 he organized and became the Lead Principal Investigator of a NSF/ARPA funded eight-university Computational Grand Challenge program describing the interaction of black holes, which are potential sources for observable gravitational radiation. Matzner has served on a number of advisory committees to the Air Force, the National Science Foundation, the European Space Agency, and The Department of Energy. He is currently a member of High Performance Computing advisory and allocation committees, on campus, and nationally. In 1996-97 he was on research assignment at Los Alamos National Laboratory, in the Institute for Geophysics and Planetary Physics, where he began work on the Dictionary of Geophysics, Astrophysics, and Astronomy, to be published by CRC Press. Ignazio Ciufolini worked with John Archibald Wheeler on the book \"Gravitation and Inertia\" recipient of the US \"American Association of Publishers\" Award for the best 1995 professional and scholar book in physics and astronomy. In 2001, he was awarded the International Tomassoni-Chisesi prize for physics by Sapienza University. Ciufolini, from the University of Salento, and Erricos Pavlis from the University of Maryland BC, analysed the orbits of the satellites LAGEOS and LAGEOS 2 and, in 2004, published in Nature the measurement, with an uncertainty of about 10 %, of the frame-dragging effect, predicted by Einstein's General Relativity. Commenting on this 2004 research, Neil Ashby of the University of Colorado, said the result was \"the first reasonably accurate measurement of frame dragging.\" The reaction to this latest measurement has been broadly positive and, on 6th September 2007, Nature dedicated its cover to Ciufolini's research. He is currently the Principal Investigator of the LARES satellite to be launched in 2011 to test Einstein's theory.\nInhaltsangabe\nJohn Archibald Wheeler and General Relativity.- to General Relativity and John Archibald Wheeler.- John Wheeler and the Recertification of General Relativity as True Physics.- John Archibald Wheeler: A Few Highlights of His Contributions to Physics.- Wheeler Wormholes and the Modern Astrophysics.- Foundations and Tests of General Relativity.- Unified Form of the Initial Value Conditions.- The Confrontation Between General Relativity and Experiment.- Measurements of Space Curvature by Solar Mass.- Modern Cosmology: Early and Late Universe.- Gravitational Waves.- to Gravitational Waves.- Discovering Relic Gravitational Waves in Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation.- Status of Gravitational Wave Detection.- Search for Gravitational Waves with Resonant Detectors.- Gravitational Fields with 2-Dimensional Killing Leaves and the Gravitational Interaction of Light.- Frame Dragging and Gravitomagnetism.- Rotation and Spin in Physics.- The Gravitomagnetic Influence on Earth-Orbiting Spacecrafts and on the Lunar Orbit.- Quasi-inertial Coordinates.- Gravitomagnetism and Its Measurement with Laser Ranging to the LAGEOS Satellites and GRACE Earth Gravity Models.- The Relativity Mission Gravity Probe B, Testing Einstein's Universe.- The LARES Space Experiment: LARES Orbit, Error Analysis and Satellite Structure.- The History of the So-Called Lense-Thirring Effect, and of Related Effects.- Miscellaneous.- Atom Interferometers and Optical Clocks: New Quantum Sensors Based on Ultracold Atoms for Gravitational Tests in Earth Laboratories and in Space.- The York Map and the Role of Non-inertial Frames in the Geometrical View of the Gravitational Field.- Erratum.\nKundenbewertungen\nSchreiben Sie eine Kundenbewertung zu diesem Produkt und gewinnen Sie mit etwas Glück einen 15,- EUR bücher.de–Gutschein!\nBewertung schreiben Bewertung schreiben\nMehr zum Thema"

"Mobile internet dating software have actually reinvented the quest for like and love-making by making it possible for men and women not exclusively limited to see similar mates but to recognize people who find themselves actually right next door, and on occasion even in the same bar, at any given time. That efficiency is actually a double-edge blade, inform scientists. To prove their unique level, the two abused weaknesses in Grindr, a dating software with more than five million month-to-month consumers, to distinguish individuals and develop detail by detail histories inside activities.\n\nThe proof-of-concept battle functioned from flaws determined five period previously by an anonymous posting on Pastebin. Despite if professionals from protection organization Synack alone verified the privacy risk, Grindr officers bring authorized they to keep for owners in most but a handful of region exactly where getting gay is actually unlawful. As a result, geographic regions of Grindr people in the US & most other areas might followed right down to the particular parkland table where these people happen to be using lunch or pub in which they are drinking and administered almost continuously, as mentioned in analysis appointed become displayed Saturday at the Shmoocon safeguards seminar in Washington, DC.\n\nGrindr officers dropped to remark because of this article beyond whatever they claimed in stuff right here and here circulated greater than four weeks earlier. As mentioned, Grindr creators altered the application to disable locality tracking in Russia, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Nigeria, Liberia, Sudan, Zimbabwe, and almost any other spot with anti-gay laws and regulations. Grindr also secured along the app so that place info is readily available just to individuals who have setup an account. Modifications managed to do absolutely nothing to avoid the Synack professionals from configuring a no cost accounts and tracking the detail by detail moves of many fellow individuals who volunteered to sign up during the research.\n\nThe proof-of-concept challenge functions destroying a location-sharing work that Grindr representatives claim happens to be a core supplying on the application. The have enables a user discover any time more individuals tend to be close by. The programming user interface that will make the feedback readily available could be hacked by forwarding Grinder fast queries that incorrectly provide various places associated with requesting cellphone owner. With three individual make believe spots, an attacker can map an additional individuals’ exact locality using the statistical techniques titled trilateration.\n\nSynack researcher Colby Moore believed his own organization notified Grindr manufacturers on the hazard previous March. In addition to turning off locality spreading in nations that number anti-gay legislation and creating area facts readily available just to authenticated Grindr customers, the tiredness continues to be a threat to virtually any consumer that leaves place revealing on. Grindr introduced those minimal updates adhering to a study that Egyptian police force used Grindr to find and pursue gay group. Moore explained there are certain matter Grindr builders could do to improve restore the fragility.\n\n“the largest things are don’t let significant length variations many times,” he or she explained Ars. “basically claim i am five miles in this article, five kilometers there within all about 10 moments, you are sure that things is definitely false. There are a great number of actions you can take which happen to be smooth to the backside.” He explained Grinder may possibly also carry out acts to help make the location facts a little significantly less granular. “you only present some rounding error into these factors. A person will document their own coordinates, and also on the backend part Grindr can present a little falsehood to the checking.”\n\nThe exploit authorized Moore to gather a comprehensive dossier on unpaid users by monitoring where they visited work with the early morning, the gyms just where the two exercised, exactly where the two rested during the night, because locations the two frequented. Utilizing this information and cross referencing they with public record information and information in Grindr profiles also social networking web sites, it might be feasible to uncover the identifications of those customers.\n\n“utilising the system most people developed, we had been in the position to associate personal information very easily,” Moore stated. “Many individuals on product express a whole load of extra personal details like fly, height, body weight, and an image. Numerous consumers additionally linked with social networking reports in their kinds. The concrete instance is that we were capable of replicate this attack multiple times on prepared players without fail.”\n\nMoore was also able to abuse the have to compile onetime shots of 15,000 roughly consumers located in the San Francisco compartment neighborhood, and, before place submitting ended up being impaired in Russia, Gridr users exploring Sochi Olympics.",

"he dedicated to Grindr since it provides an organization this is certainly usually focused. They mentioned he has got observed equivalent kind of risk stemming from non-Grindr cell phone social networks software too.\n\n“It’s not just Grindr this is doing this,” this individual believed. “I looked over five roughly going out with applications several are generally vulnerable to equivalent weaknesses.”"

"Mobiles and laptops to run for up to 100 times longer between charges.\n\nMobile phones could soon run for months rather than days between charges, after scientists discovered how to make them work more efficiently.\n\nA team of electrical engineers at Illinois University in the US believe their method will enable mobiles and laptops to run for up to 100 times longer between charges.\n\nIt focuses on changing the way a device’s digital memory works, as this consumes much of the charge.\n\nAt the moment mobile phone memories contain thin metal wires. Every time information is accessed, electricity is passed through them to retrieve the data.\n\nThe electrical engineers thought that if the size of the components used to store and retrieve the information could be reduced, so could the amount of electricity.\n\nThey have discovered a way of using carbon nanotubes – tiny tubes 10,000 times thinner than a human hair – instead.\n\nFeng Xiong, a graduate student on the team who was lead author on a paper, to be published in the journal Science, explained: “The energy consumption is essentially scaled with the volume of the memory bit.\n\n“By using nanoscale contacts, we are able to achieve much smaller power consumption.”\n\nProf Eric Pop, who led the project, said: “I think anyone who is dealing with a lot of chargers and plugging things in every night can relate to wanting a cell phone or laptop whose batteries can last for weeks or months.”\n\nHe thought that the method could improve a mobile phone’s efficiency so much that they could be made to run simply by harvesting heat, kinetic energy or solar energy."

"The future of elements\n\nWhat we're doing with Polymer elements, what we aren't doing, and why.\n\nIf you've seen Steve's talk from the Polymer Summit, you know that there's a bunch of changes planned for the Polymer Elements, such as performance improvements, smaller APIs and re-designing with extensibility in mind. We're very excited about this, but we're still in the early days of trying to figure out the exact shape of our elements. We'll let you know as soon as that plan is ready!\n\nIn the meantime, what about the existing elements?\n\nWe get asked a lot why we haven't ported any of the Polymer Elements to \"pure\" 2.0, class-based elements. If you've opened a PR to do this, we've probably closed it. We also realize that we didn't actually write down a detailed reasoning for this anywhere, so here it is!\n\nMost of the current elements were originally written almost 3 years ago. Since then we've learned a lot about what our customers need, what works well and what doesn't. The suite of elements would look very different if it were written today. As a result, we decided it was time for a significant rewrite—one that would make the elements lighter, faster and more flexible, but also result in breaking changes to features and APIs.\n\nBefore proceeding with this rewrite, though, we needed to give users of Polymer and the elements a smooth upgrade path from Polymer 1.0 to Polymer 2.0 and 3.0.\n\nWith this in mind, the 2.0 release of the elements was designed to be a minimally breaking release, bridging Polymer 1.0 and 2.0, and making it easy for users to update their applications.\n\nFor the same reason, the 3.0 release of the elements, in parallel with Polymer 3, will be just an automatically transformed ES6 module version of the existing elements. This automatic transformation won't make any functional changes to the elements code.\n\nWe'll continue to support our existing 2.x and 3.x elements as we plan and work on our next-generation elements. When the new elements ship, you'll be able to use them in your Polymer 3.x applications in place of or alongside existing Polymer 3.x elements.\n\nSo really, no class-style elements?\n\nMaintenance is a significant amount of work for the comparatively small team that works on elements. By keeping the existing elements in hybrid format and using Polymer modulizer for automatic conversion to the 3.x format, we can support three versions of Polymer from a single codebase, while we spend our time working on new elements.\n\nWe're convinced that this is the right plan to get the Polymer community successfully through the important 2.0 and 3.0 transitions while charting a course toward significantly better elements in the near future. However, as some of you have pointed out, it does mean that we're in a bit of an awkward in-between phase for the moment, with no \"canonical\" class-based version of the current elements.\n\nWhile we agree that's unfortunate, we don't think the benefits of such a version justify the costs. The purpose of releasing a class-based version of the current elements would be to deliver better loading performance and an updated example of best practices in element development – but we believe that the next-generation elements will achieve both of these goals much more effectively, and that our limited resources are therefore better spent on developing these new elements.\n\nLooking to the future\n\nRethinking the elements means being able to design elements that can take advantage of ES6 class inheritance, simplifying our most complex element sets and reducing duplicated code. It means making elements that are designed to be extended. It means tuning elements to take advantage of the best practices for performance, accessibility, and maintainability we've discovered over the last three years. It means reducing the incremental cost of adding a single element to your application.\n\nWe're really excited about our next-generation elements. We hope you are, too! Stay tuned here for future announcements."

"Alex H. Yong: Hi Ingrid! Would you tell us how you became Tribeca Film Institute’s Director of Digital Initiatives?",
null,
"Ingrid Kopp: Yes, my background is in television. I’m from South Africa but worked in the U.K. at Channel 4 before moving to the U.S. At that point I wasn’t doing very much around digital but I always wanted to know more about technology’s effects on documentary filmmaking. I’d have conversations with TV engineers about cameras and broadcast quality and what types of technologies affected what kinds of stories we could tell.\n\nI was working with a global online network for independent filmmakers called Shooting People, running the New York office. I was teaching classes for filmmakers, such as how to use the internet for marketing, and ways to use online communities.\n\nI realized a new world was emerging, a world that wasn’t confined to using the web just as a promotional tool, but the tools and media themselves were changing and influencing what could be produced in the first place. For example, some people were experimenting with films where interactive elements, such as online choices, were added. It became apparent this world would continue to grow – The rise of social media, web tools becoming cheaper, smartphones where you could record footage and play it back on the same device – All these were fueling the growth.\n\nI was speaking and writing about what I saw as this emerging world within storytelling, and connected with the Tribeca Film Institute. They invited me to work with them on a new fund, the TFI New Media Fund, which launched in 2011 with the Ford Foundation. So I said yes and eventually became Tribeca Film Institute’s Director of Digital Initiatives.",
null,
"Alex H. Yong: You’ve been quoted as saying that it’s good to look outside one’s usual circles. Would you elaborate?\n\nIngrid Kopp: Yes, for example, Twitter is a platform I find useful because it allows you to dabble in different worlds that you’re not fully a part of. What I’ve learned regarding indie films and storytelling, is that it’s beneficial to look outside of film because we need to learn from developers, designers, the NGO community, activists and others. Twitter is where a lot of those conversations are taking place. It leads to info on what’s happening in other disciplines, and that’s key to pulling in many pieces of knowledge.\n\nWe want to collaborate with coders and others in the tech industry. We’re in our fourth year (editor’s note: They’re in their ninth year as of 2019) at the Digital Initiatives department and we’re happy to say the community has grown, plus we’ve learned a lot – It doesn’t feel like we’re at step one anymore, which is nice. We’re delighted to build strong collaborations with the broader tech industry and others who like what we’re doing.\n\nFor me, there were definite learning curves because my background was in TV, specifically documentaries. ‘Interactive’ meant I was forced to think about code, UX and UI, and the audience doing active things, not just passively watching something. Years ago, if you were in the film industry you’d mostly go to film festivals and film conferences, but now we also attend tech conferences, design conferences, interdisciplinary events. There you might find journalists trying to better understand data journalism, or museum designers thinking about interactive installations. Everyone’s trying to figure out what interaction means for their industry, especially online. Technology moving forward brings enthusiasm to us here at TFI because of the creative world we’re in – Everything’s exciting on the creative front, the technology front, the audience front, all around.\n\nAlex H. Yong: Your Twitter bio mentioned constant thought. What do you mean by that?\n\nIngrid Kopp: Constant thought is required for digital storytelling because you’re thinking about it from the creative’s point of view and how artists and filmmakers can be supported. But then you’re also thinking about the audiences, about how projects reach them and how they’re invited to engage. And even when you’ve thought about both, things can change quickly. One obvious constant is change, and so you’ve got to be on your toes.\n\nOften, when one problem gets solved, another comes up, but as a film institute and as artists, we encourage people to think about what’s “timeless.” How can stories be created that aren’t just jumping on a new tech bandwagon? We’ve learned that you’ve got to look beyond the technology – it’s about the story. Sometimes, the more the technology gets in the way, the less successful the story is. For example, I don’t have all the answers on the future of Oculus Rift, or where browser technology is headed, but we stay informed because we have to. But at the end of the day, it’s still about filmmaking, and the story is always key. Stories that can be told 10 years from now are important.\n\nAlex H. Yong: This was my first TFI Interactive (#TFIi) Week. It was packed with activity – I was overwhelmed, in a good way. Were there others?\n\nIngrid Kopp: Yes, this was our third TFI Interactive Week. All departments within TFI as well as our grantees, and of course the Tribeca Film Festival, and many others take part. For us, it’s as much about the audiences too, not just the presenters. We realize some people are working on these very same issues – and throughout the week, they get to meet each other. Sometimes projects come out of that, and that’s really great. Building a community around this space is key. Attendance has been up every year – People relish the opportunity to hear stories and new thoughts and then apply the experiences to their work.\n\nAlex H. Yong: What kind of funding can artists get via the TFI New Media Fund? And would you talk more about what excites TFI Interactive?\n\nIngrid Kopp: Grantees have received between $50,000 and $100,000 each. These are sizeable grants because we like to see projects realized. We’ve funded 17 projects so far, including incredibly sophisticated works such as Hollow and Use of Force. Through the fund, we’ve also been able to include projects into the Tribeca Film Festival’s Storyscapes exhibition module – We’re excited about that because Storyscapes emphasize how powerful storytelling can be when told across different interfaces.\n\nWe’re also proud of the global hackathons we host throughout the year – These hackathons build community by bringing diverse sets of people into teams to solve a challenge within a set timeframe, usually 2-5 days. Overall, TFI is excited by diverse projects, global ones too – Immigrant Nation and 18 Days in Egypt are just two examples. They’re diverse not only in subject matter, but also in the way they’re created, which includes the use of various technologies.\n\nAlex H. Yong: Thank you, Ingrid. I’m glad I learned more about TFI and its Digital Initiatives department. I look forward to #TFIi 2015!"

TMP didn’t hold back as it also announced the pricing of the soon-to-arrive local-spec GR Yaris. According to TMP, the GR Yaris will sticker at P2,650,000. This also came with a note that the model is exempted from the government-imposed “provisional safeguard duty”.

"When it comes to tongue-in-cheek horror comedy few films can surpass 1985’s Return of the Living Dead whose comic script, great special effects, neat soundtrack and solid acting really sets the benchmark for these kind of films (as far as I’m concerned, that is).",
null,
"Adam Green, Horror-dom’s favourite poster boy, made his name back in 2006 with his old-school serial killer horror Hatchet. Since then, he’s stretched his directorial wings with the classy thriller Spiral and the taunt survival chiller Frozen [reviewed here]. But he’s always promised his fans more Hatchet sequels, beginning with this one from 2010.\n\nIt doesn’t matter if you haven’t seen the original, but it does help to know a little about Friday the 13th, as this film is a pure homage to the horror franchise and its leading man, Jason Voorhees. Here, Green has fashioned his own horror icon-in-the-making in the form of Victor Crowley: a deformed, indestructible, serial killer who haunts a cursed Louisiana bayou and looks like a cross between Troma’s Toxic Avenger, The Elephant Man, and Robert De Niro’s Frankenstein monster.",
null,
"The sequel follows directly from the first with heroine Marybeth (Danielle Harris) escaping Crowley’s clutches then returning to the dreaded swamp with a pack of hunters in tow, headed by Tony Todd’s flamboyant Reverend Zombie, to avenge the deaths of her father and brother. Only problem is, Crowley (again played by Kane Hodder, aka Jason Voorhees VII-X) also has a score to settle: the deaths of the three boys responsible for his fiery death.\n\nYou have to wait 53-minutes of back-story and highlights from the original before you get to your first fresh kill, but once Crowley starts butchering, you’ll find yourself whooping in delight as the body count rises. The death scenes are gory; inventive and well executed with all manner of tools including shovels, boat motor blades, giant double chainsaw and a sander – in addition to Crowley’s trusty hatchet – being used to decimate the cast.\n\nForget the cardboard story and mostly lame acting (Harris shouts through her role, while Todd seems to be invoking True Blood’s Lafayette with his performance); it’s the jokey violence and bloody pulp of an ending that makes Hatchet II a winner for me. Does it reach the lofty heights of my favourite horror comedy? ‘Fraid not, but it’s still one to enjoy with your fellow horror fiends over a few beers.\n\nJust one question, does anyone know what a ‘Voodoo Fluffer’ is?"

Howard in the pages of Weird Tales in the late 1920s and early ’30s.\n\nKane was a restless wanderer, driven by a compulsion to pursue evil and destroy it. Or perhaps that was merely the frame in which his fanatical Puritan’s world view required for what was no more than a feverish thirst for adventure. He was probably mad. He was a Sea Dog and spent some time in the dark, haunted forests of Germany, but, like so many half-cracked Englishmen, he was fatally attracted to the wilds of Africa and it is there that his weirdest and most dire adventures occurred.\n\nThe white gulls wheeled above the cliffs, the air was slashed with foam,\nThe long tides moaned along the strand when Solomon Kane came home.\nHe walked in silence strange and dazed through the little Devon town,\nHis gaze, like a ghost’s come back to life, roamed up the streets and down.\n\nThe people followed wonderingly to mark his spectral stare,\nAnd in the tavern silently they thronged about him there.\nHe heard as a man hears in a dream the worn old rafters creak,\nAnd Solomon lifted his drinking-jack and spoke as a ghost might speak:\n\n“There sat Sir Richard Grenville once; in smoke and flame he passed.\n“And we were one to fifty-three, but we gave them blast for blast.\n“From crimson dawn to crimson dawn, we held the Dons at bay.\n“The dead lay littered on our decks, our masts were shot away.\n\n“We beat them back with broken blades, till crimson ran the tide;\n“Death thundered in the cannon smoke when Richard Grenville died.\n“We should have blown her hull apart and sunk beneath the Main.”\nThe people saw upon his wrist the scars of the racks of Spain.\n\n“Where is Bess?” said Solomon Kane.“Woe that I caused her tears.”\n“In the quiet churchyard by the sea she has slept these seven years.”\nThe sea-wind moaned at the window-pane, and Solomon bowed his head.\n“Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, and the fairest fade,” he said.\n\nHis eyes were mystical deep pools that drowned unearthly things,\nAnd Solomon lifted up his head and spoke of his wanderings.\n“Mine eyes have looked on sorcery in dark and naked lands,\n“Horror born of the jungle gloom and death on the pathless sands.\n\n“And I have known a deathless queen in a city old as Death,\n“Where towering pyramids of skulls her glory witnesseth.\n“Her kiss was like an adder’s fang, with the sweetness Lilith had,\n“And her red-eyed vassals howled for blood in that City of the Mad.\n\n“My feet are weary of wandering and age comes on apace;\n“I fain would dwell in Devon now, forever in my place.”\nThe howling of the ocean pack came whistling down the gale,\nAnd Solomon Kane threw up his head like a hound that sniffs the trail.\n\nA-down the wind like a running pack the hounds of the ocean bayed,\nAnd Solomon Kane rose up again and girt his Spanish blade.\nIn his strange cold eyes a vagrant gleam grew wayward and blind and bright,\nAnd Solomon put the people by and went into the night.\n\nA wild moon rode the wild white clouds, the waves in white crests flowed,\nWhen Solomon Kane went forth again and no man knew his road.\nThey glimpsed him etched against the moon, where clouds on hilltop thinned;\nThey heard an eery echoed call that whistled down the wind.",

"The Malin Sentinel, the final new-build vessel of nine in a £150m investment programme by Sentinel Marine, has arrived in Aberdeen. The vessel, which sailed from Dalian Port in China via Singapore and the Suez Canal took seven weeks to arrive in her home port. The journey totaled 11 451 miles. The Malin Sentinel has completed sea trials and now takes up assignments in the North Sea where the emergency response and rescue vessel (ERRV) will support drilling projects for a range of charterers.",
null,
"Rory Deans, chief executive officer at Sentinel Marine says, “Taking delivery of the Malin Sentinel, which began its journey at the height of global lockdowns meant that this was one of the most challenging deliveries we have faced. We’re pleased that her maiden journey was a smooth one and that she joins the other state of the art, purpose built, ERRVs in our fleet.\n\n“We have built a first in class, multi-role fleet to support our clients operations, and the Malin Sentinel joins our fleet to provide far wider services than just response and rescue.”\n\nThese new additions, which are being built at the same shipyard in China, will have increased dynamic positioning capabilities with a DP2 notation, firefighting class 1, oil recovery and liquid mud and dry bulk capacities."

"After Hector “H3CZ” Rodriguez was reported to have reacquired the OpTic Gaming brand, the potential for 100 Thieves to re-enter competitive Call of Duty was left on the table - with a conflict of interest preventing H3CZ from owning both OpTic Gaming LA and Chicago Huntsmen.\n\nNow it's been confirmed OpTic Gaming LA will be replaced by new 100 Thieves team LA Thieves - which was officially announced in a video on Twitter.\n\nThe video shows 100 Thieves founder Matthew “Nadeshot” Haag show off the logo for the team, as well as briefly look over their notable history in competitive Call of Duty.\n\nAnnouncing a new Los Angeles team for the competitive Call of Duty League in 2021. #LAThievespic.twitter.com/inO7TzNI7O\n\n100 Thieves were unable to join the first year of the rebranded Call of Duty League due to the steep entry fees, which Nadeshot said at the time could “jeopardise everything the company is doing”.\n\nIn a statement to announce their return, Nadeshot said: “We won two Call of Duty championships in 2019 so our year away reminded us how amazing Call of Duty fans are, and how much we missed them.\n\n“Our fans deserve the best Call of Duty team in the world - and we’re gonna do everything in our power to give it them.”\n\nThey also announced their starting roster, confirming Kenny “Kuavo” Williams, Thomas “TJHaLy” Haly and Austin “SlasheR” Liddicoat from OpTic Gaming LA will be on the line-up.\n\nFellow OpTic Gaming LA player Zack “Drazah” Jordan will also be on board as a substitute.\n\nJoining Slasher and Ken on the starting roster is the Iceman himself, @TJHaLy!\n\nStarting the year off as a sub will be the young gun @Drazah_.\n\nPlease welcome both to the LA Thieves! pic.twitter.com/yurbH3w9Q0\n\nLA Thieves will join LA Guerrillas as the second team based in Los Angeles, US. It was Dallas Empire however who became the 2020 champions, in a closely fought final with Atlanta FaZe.\n\nThis announcement comes ahead of Call of Duty League’s season for Black Ops Cold War, which will also see teams switch to a 4v4 format and move to PC over consoles."

"The Middle East’s first Legoland Hotel, coming up in theme park destination Dubai Parks and Resorts, is set to open in 2020, according to operator DXB Entertainments.\n\nIn a statement on Thursday, DXB Entertainments confirmed that the destination will have more than 1,300 hotel rooms by next year.\n\n“We will have more than 1,300 hotel rooms available by 2020, as the Rove Hotel opens during 2019 and Legoland Hotel opens in 2020,” said Mohamed Almulla, CEO and managing director, DXB Entertainments.\n\nFirst announced in early 2017, the Legoland hotel is being developed as a joint venture with the UK’s Merlin Entertainments Group.\n\nThe 250-room hotel will be built on 300,000 square feet of land adjacent to the Legoland Dubai theme park and become the seventh to open worldwide.\n\nIt will feature Lego models in every room, a disco elevator, castle play area and themed rooms.\n\nDXB Entertainments said it owns 60 per cent of the venture with Merlin taking the remaining 40 per cent.\n\non Thursday, DXB Entertainments also confirmed that its first property, Lapita Hotel, reported an increase in average occupancy to 72 per cent in Q1 2019, up from 62 per cent reported in the same quarter last year.\n\n“The Lapita Hotel’s occupancy rate of 72 per cent for the quarter demonstrates that people are responding well to our existing hotel offering,” said Almulla.\n\n“A decline, during the second full year of operations, is not unusual for a destination such as Dubai Parks and Resorts which benefited from high penetration of its resident market in 2018, boosted by the introduction of the destination’s first annual pass and competitive resident pricing,” the statement said.\n\n“Our newly appointed chief commercial officer, Paul Parker, will lead our efforts to grow international visitation which will in turn drive growth through a higher yielding visitor, spending more time at both our parks and at our hotels,” said Almulla.\n\n“Not unexpectedly, domestic visitation has reduced compared to last year, a common trend for any theme park business following its first full year of operations. Having established our domestic customer base we are going to reignite interest through promotions across the year,” he added.",

"The celebrated contemporary composer was premiering his first ever opera at the English National Opera when I interviewed him for Dazed Digital.",
null,
"In his first full-length opera at the English National Opera, the New York-based composer’s cast sings in text speak\n\nTwo teenage boys huddle over laptops, conversing in text speak online. So far, so normal in our multimedia lives. Except that this is an opera, and the text speak is being sung at the audience.\nTrust Nico Muhly to drag the opera world kicking and screaming firmly into the 21st century.\nThe much-feted contemporary composer, whose credits include writing the soundtrack to The Reader, is back with Two Boys, his first full-length opera production.\nIt is a stark, groundbreaking performance, set in the murky world of online chat rooms where nobody is as they seem and sexual predators lurk around every corner.\nWe caught up with Muhly to discuss the challenges of working on such an ambitious project.\n\nDD: This is your first full opera. How much of a challenge did you find writing it?\n\nIt was a challenge, insanely stressful, but I felt very supported the whole time. Both the English National Opera and the Metropolitan Opera [who commissioned the work] were very institutionally and artistically supportive.\nThey helped me and Craig Lucas, who wrote the libretto, keep on top of it. The libretto is a 30-page document like a script, and once you start writing music to it, it really quickly gets out of hand. It grows like a fungus. So the challenge was keeping our eyes on the story.\nCraig and I worked incredibly closely. What I was looking for from him was text that when I looked at it, I knew exactly what to write. I didn’t wanna have to fight the text.",
null,
"DD: Why did you decide to base the majority of it in the online world?\n\nFor me first of all, disguise is one of the oldest theatrical devices, be it political, sexual… they’re the part of the history of opera. So setting something online is really just an extension of that tradition, hiding behind guises.\n\nDD: Do you think that using contemporaneous subject matter such as the online setting of Two Boys may help to attract newer, younger audiences to the opera and make it more relevant?\n\nOne can only hope. I don’t speak from any particular ability in being able to tell if something is or isn’t relevant. Relevance is more of an intangible concept that tends to follow quality, rather than quality following relevance.\n\nDD: The staging, video production, lighting, music and words were so brilliantly interwoven in Two Boys. Was that due to the collaborative nature of the entire project?\n\nYes, that was one of the most special parts of it. We got to work with the design team from the beginning, they were very involved in the DNA of the piece. So the design hasn’t been applied cosmetically to the production like make-up, it’s a really fundamental part to it.\n\nDD: What does opera as a form achieve in communication that other arts can’t?\n\nIt’s to do with the expressive possibility of simultaneous staging, the deployment of language and music.\nThis combination can elevate moments in a drama into a much more direct emotional space, so it’s not so much contemplative as it is immediate.\nFor me, the reason why Mozart operas work so well is because immediately you’re transported into the world of the Magic Flute in those first couple of chords. Music by itself oftentimes leaves it in the abstract, which is okay, and beautiful as well. But opera cuts an express line to the emotions.\n\nDD: What’s next for you?\n\nI have another opera that’s opening in November called Dark Sisters, it takes place in a polygamous community, and the government has come and taken away all the children. That’s another real-life story. When stuff happens, I very quickly write an opera about it.\n\nTo see the full article on Dazed Digital, click here."

"The traditional three phases of life, education work and retirement are no longer relevant. In a world in which many people will live to their nineties we need a new way of thinking very well described in the book called “The 100-Year Life” by Lynda Gratton and Andrew Scott. Retirement age was set decades ago on the principal that people deserved five years of retirement before they shuffled of the earth. Even in 1948, at the start of the NHS the expectation of life was only seventy which meant there was five years for men, and ten years for women although it was clearly recognised that in the era before the washing machine and dishwasher women’s work was never done. Nowadays the average expectation of life at birth is about eighty years, with still a worrying gap between the expectation of life of the least deprived subgroups of society and the deprived, that gap being approximately eight years and being stubbornly resistant to the efforts of the NHS because it is caused by much broader issues such as poverty and lack of education. This means we now need to think of the expectation of life for people in their fifties and sixties many of whom will live until either mid-eighties or nineties and become centenarians. Recently early retirement has complicated issues even further although that may be becoming the victim of the tougher economic environment, but people have been retiring in their mid-fifties with the prospect of forty years of life.\n\nPeople are confused living longer with ageing, but it is now clear that ageing, a normal biological process does not cause major difficulties until the mid-nineties. The problems come from three other processes as shown in the diagram below\n\nA loss of fitness starts in the early twenties from the date of the first sitting job, often coinciding with the first car. It is true that disease gets more common as chronological age gets higher, but this is not due to ageing but having lived for a long term in an unhealthy environment. You do need to be lucky, to be born to wealthy parents who value education, and to avoid the diseases that we cannot yet prevent, such as rheumatoid arthritis but disease, complicated by axillary loss of fitness is responsible for many of the problems that we contribute to ageing.\n\nThis is the source of the negative beliefs and the pessimistic attitudes, but we now know from high quality research that dementia and dependency can be prevented or delayed.\n\nHow to live longer better\n\nThe most important thing is to maintain and indeed increase activity – physical, mental and social. The importance of mental and social activity is now well recognised as we look at the factors that lead to dementia and see the opportunities for reducing dementia.\n\nInterestingly what emerges as the best type of activity of the mind is not chess or sudoku but volunteering particularly volunteering with stimulating and challenging groups, such as young people.\n\nThe implications for society\n\nWith the absolute increase in the numbers of older people we need to take steps to prevent or delay frailty and of course it would be of tremendous benefit for those people and their families.\n\nFirstly we need to change the language and the word retirement implies a change in status of the job that one occupied from the age of sixty, but we need to recognise that people are now re-skilling, finding new jobs or starting new businesses, for profit or not for profit. We need to change language for example to drop the term retirement community which implies a group of people who are inward looking united only by the fact they have retired whereas the members of that population will differ from one another in many more ways than will be the same. We can also look at ways in which that group of people can make an even bigger contribution to society than they do at present. For example every third phase group, formally known as a retirement community, should adopt some charitable cause with people worse off than themselves and not only raise money but support people either face-to-face or online.\n\nThe evidence is that every year you need to come more active and with every diagnosis that you pick up as you live longer you need to increase your activity to increase strength, stamina, suppleness and skill, increased activity will also have psychological benefits too.\n\nPerhaps the most dramatic opportunities offered by virtual reality particularly for people who have difficulty getting out of their accommodation because it is now possible to cycle from Land’s End to John O’Groats, around the streets of one’s youth, virtually. It is now possible to walk from London or through the Natural History Museum, or, in the near future along the West Highland Way.\n\nFurthermore it is possible to do this with friends even though they are tens or hundreds of miles away sharing experience as emotions and memories. People who live in communities of course have the benefits of book clubs and concerts, but virtual book clubs and virtual concert parties are very easy to organise.\n\nObviously we should be trying to get people out of their accommodation if they are housebound but virtual reality offers endless opportunities and it is not something for the young to teach older people, we are looking for ways in which older people themselves can play a leading role in the development of virtual reality experience.\n\nThe future then is a future in which we can help people live longer better. It is also essential that every person has the opportunity to think about what they want to avoid in the last weeks and days of life and prepare an advanced directive. It is not possible to guarantee a good death, but it is certainly possible to reduce the risk of a bad death but to do that we have to discuss the elephant in the room namely that a healthy attitude to dying is part of healthy living."

"ICTR in the News: An ‘Ignition Key’ Revs Up DNA Shuffling To Make Antibodies",
null,
"Rearranging the genome is a risky endeavor, and human cells reserve it for special occasions, like making egg and sperm cells. Now, researchers at Johns Hopkins Medicine announce they’ve learned how an enzyme that reshuffles DNA on one of those rare occasions — during the birth of new white blood cells — helps ensure the process doesn’t go haywire. Their results are described online this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.\n\nThe enzyme, RAG, short for recombination activating gene, only goes to work in developing white blood cells. It makes cuts to highly specific sites on DNA, allowing bits of the genetic material to move around and form new sequences. These sequences serve as the blueprints for novel antibodies that recognize and fend off viruses, bacteria and other biological threats. They also sometimes spark allergies to harmless bystanders, like pollen. When the process goes awry, it can even lead to uncontrolled white blood cell growth, including leukemia.\n\nStephen Desiderio, M.D., Ph.D., professor of molecular biology and director of the Institute for Basic Biomedical Sciences at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, wanted to find out how animal genes and biological systems ensure that RAG cuts up DNA only where it should. He and colleagues at Johns Hopkins explored what makes a particular site on the human genome accessible to RAG. It was already known, he says, that RAG is made up of two parts, RAG-1 and RAG-2, and that RAG-1 cuts the DNA. But without RAG-2, RAG-1 can’t do its job, so their experiments were designed to home in on the role of RAG-2. They began with the knowledge that DNA is packaged in the nucleus by proteins called histones that keep DNA’s long strands from getting too unwieldy and help determine which genes are active at a given time. The histones’ actions can be changed by adding or subtracting chemical groups to them, and Desiderio’s research group had previously found that RAG-2 latches on to one of these chemical groups.\n\nTo find out if RAG-2 was merely anchoring RAG to the site where it could do its work or was actually changing RAG-1’s shape to activate it, Desiderio, graduate student John Bettridge and their colleagues purified mouse RAG and combined it in a test tube with either a bit of protein that mimicked the histone and chemical group or a different, dummy protein fragment.\n\nThey then treated the mixture with an agent that would react with one protein building block called cysteine, creating a record of which cysteines were exposed to the agent and which had been tucked away inside RAG. When the group unraveled the proteins, they found clear differences in the pattern of exposed cysteines between the RAG exposed to the histone fragment and the dummy fragment, including in the area of RAG-1 responsible for cutting DNA. The takeaway, they say, is that when RAG-2 hooks on to the histone fragment, it changes the shape of the RAG complex, thus activating it.\n\n“When RAG-2 binds to that specific site, it’s like putting the key in the ignition,” Desiderio says. “We found that it changes the shape not only of RAG-2, but of parts of RAG-1 that bind to and cut DNA.” RAG-1 only works on specific DNA “bar codes,” and the need for a chemically modified histone acts as another layer of control to ensure RAG only cuts where and when it should, he says.\n\nThe group is now investigating whether other enzymes that bind to the same modified histone site might have a similar control mechanism. “Many of those enzymes are involved in cell growth, including the uncontrolled growth of cancer,” he says. “We’re hoping that learning more about how they work, and how to shut them off, will help in identifying targets for drug development.”\n\nOther authors on the paper are Chan Hyun Na and Akhilesh Pandey of The Johns Hopkins University.\n\nThis study was funded by the National Cancer Institute (grant number R01CA160256)."

"The draw was unveiled at a presentation in the Seaport District of New York, rather than as in previous years conducted live at the Billie Jean King Tennis Centre at Flushing Meadows.\n\nThe US Open Experience, as the USTA have called the area, has been used for the last two days to take tennis to the centre of New York with loads of tennis activities for kids, live music and player interviews.\n\nThe biggest tennis storyline was probably in the women’s draw, where wildcard Maria Sharapova was drawn against the No.2 seed Simona Halep. The pair has met six times before and Halep has never won. Perhaps their most memorable meeting was the three set final at Roland Garros in 2014.\n\nIn the top half of the draw current World No. 1 Karolina Pliskova has a potentially more straightforward task than some of the other contenders for the World No, 1 spot when she faces Magda Linette of Poland. Ukrainian Elina Svitolina faces Katerina Siniakova and Angelique Kerber lines up against Naomi Osaka.\n\nThis could be one of the most interesting US Open tournaments for many years, with not only the US Open title at stake but also the World No 1 slot, with eight women in possible contention for the top spot.\n\nThe US Open has never played host to a Federer v Nadal final and 2017 will be no different. If the two players do meet it will be in the semi final. Nadal starts his US Open campaign against Serbian Dusan Lajovic and Federer plays the young American Frances Tiafoe.\n\nOther match ups of note in the top half of the draw include an all Australian first round between Nick Kyrgios and John Millman, and an encounter between David Goffin and Julien Benneteau. British Player Alijaz Bedene faces Russian Andrey Rublev\n\nIn the bottom half of the draw, Andy Murray starts against American Tennys Sandgren and a possible route to the final for him includes Florian Mayer/Rogerio Dutra Silva in the second round, then Diego Schwartzman, Lucas Pouille in the fourth round before a possible quarter final against Jo Wilfried Tsonga and potentially Sascha Zverev in the semis. Sascha Zverev faces a qualifier in the first round.\n\nBritish player Cameron Norrie who had a straight sets win in the third round of qualifying against Japan’s Go Soeda brings to six the number of British players in the draw."

"Why aren't Australians allowed to know what is being done in their name, the major parties seem to be at war, with each other, one trying outdo the other in toughness. Commonsense has long since left the battle field.\n\nMeanwhile our reputation as a fair country is being trashed.\n\nThe boat saga has has turned into an unstoppable juggernaut of secrecy, we Australians are being portrayed as harsh uncaring people. Now the caring people who work in the detention centres are being gagged, both parties should be ashamed.\n\nThe only conclusion that can be drawn from such secrecy is that these places are hell holes, they probably are not, however if everything is kept hidden how do we know.\n\nThese secrecy laws are self defeating and damaging to Australia.\n\nDoctors working at any of Australia’s off-shore detention centres can't tell us about injures or conditions for fear of being jailed for two years if they ever speak.\n\nBoth Labor and the Coalition passed a newly-enacted law which has made it a criminal offence for ‘entrusted persons’ to record or disclose information from these centres in certain circumstances.\n\nThere are exceptions, but members of the legal profession have warned they do not go far enough.\n\nThe law passed through parliament quietly and almost secretly on May 14, only the Greens opposed it. Doctors are not alone many other personnel risk prosecution. The secrecy provisions could apply to consultants or contractors employed at a detention centre.\n\n“The effect of these provisions will be to deter individuals such as doctors, counsellors, and others who have voiced publicly their concerns about conditions endured by asylum seekers in detention centres from collecting information about those conditions and then raising their concerns in the community via the media and other fora,” the Australian Lawyers Alliance said in a statement.\nat June 06, 2015"

"Rovio, the Finland-based publisher of the super-popular series of Angry Birds mobile games has undergone a dramatic evolution since the first incarnation of its most famous title hit handhelds in 2009.\n\nThe first Angry Birds was the company's fifty-first title and the smash hit catalysed Rovio's transformation from a games publisher to an a fully fledged entertainment company, according to Michele Tobin, the company's head of brand partnerships and advertising.\n\nTobin told the ADMA Global Forum 2013 that the success of Angry Birds has not only made possible the dramatic expansion of the brand from games to plush toys, theme parks, and (soon) soft drinks, but also made possible partnerships that let Rovio extend its \"brand equity\" to other companies and provide a connected audience amounting to hundreds of millions of loyal fans.\n\nAngry Birds has been downloaded more than 1.7 billion times Tobin said, making it the largest game in the world. Some 263 million people actively play Angry Birds every month, giving Rovio \"massive global reach across all territories\". Last year, the brand delivered some $2.5 billion at retail. \"That's a lot of plush toys and such,\" Tobin said.\n\nThe way fans have embraced the game \"has allowed us to expand and grow beyond a mobile game publisher to a global entertainment and media company,\" Tobin said.\n\n\"Games remain the engine driver for everything we do but we developed a number of different businesses around that that allow fans to interact with our brands in different ways.\"\n\n\"Rovio has built an infrastructure that's very powerful in terms of promoting game, cross-promoting them to an existing audience base.\"\n\nBut promoting mobile games produced by its own team and other developers isn't the end of how Rovio has been using Angry Birds. Based on the success of its YouTube channel, the company branched into advertising-supported cartoons, which it launched simultaneously across all editions of Angry Birds.\n\nIt has also used the Angry Birds brand to promote products from other companies, such as Microsoft's Bing search engine, which featured in a series of Angry Birds animated shorts. This was accompanied by integrated Bing-based searches in Angry Birds titles to help players complete levels.\n\nIn China, home to Angry Birds' second-largest user base after the US, Rovio partnered with McDonald's for a location-based campaign. That campaign, launched in October last year, meant that McDonald's patrons could access custom content while in-store. It was accompanied by TV, social and in-game promotion.\n\n\"What we were able to do here is really bring the holy grail of mobile together in the right experience, targeted to the right person, the right customer, in exactly the right place and time,\" Tobin said.\n\n\"So we were able to offer fans that went into a McDonald's location a special experience in the game, along with special content in the game and power-ups. So we were really able to drive in-restaurant foot traffic by giving fans something of value.\"\n\nBrand cross-pollination with partners ranging from US space agency NASA to former Guns N' Roses guitarist (and Angry Birds fan) Slash has also been part of the evolution of Angry Birds from a mobile game into a platform.\n\n\"The brand has serious brand equity,\" Tobin said. \"In fact I had a brand, a consumer brand, come to me the other day and say, 'I think we'd like to borrow a little bit of your brand equity this year and do something interesting'.\n\n\"So I think that's where we may differ from other publishers, where yes we offer massive reach [but] we also offer something special in that the brand has recognition outside the game in the real world.\""

"Most people are unaware that pasteurized milk actually causes osteoporosis because there is a process the body must commit to due to milk’s calcium content being unabsorbed. The majority of calcium supplements on the market also contain inferior forms of the mineral which are also not absorbable and actually decrease the digestibility of other nutrients.\n\nThe belief that calcium is what builds strong bones is absolutely ingrained in our society, but has no basis in reality-calcium is but ONE of the many minerals your body needs for building strong bones. Conventional calcium supplements have demonstrated little benefit, and they may increase your risk for a cardiovascular event.\n\nIf you take too much Calcium (and to a slightly lesser degree, Magnesium) at once, it will cause your body pH to rise, which might try to change your blood pH, but your blood pH WILL NOT change because even a small change will kill you instantly! The body is quick to dump calcium & other minerals to check the rise in alkalinity, but where does the calcium go?\n\nA 2004 study showed that people with excess calcium in their coronary artery and who take statins have a 17-fold higher risk of heart attacks than do those with lower arterial calcium levels; researchers concluded that the two most definitive indicators of heart attack were LDL levels and calcium build-up.\n\nA 2007 study showed that calcium from dietary sources has more favorable effects on bone health than calcium from supplements in postmenopausal women (Am J Clin Nutr 2007).\n\nA recent randomised controlled study, published in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, analysed the effect of calcium on joint symptoms in postmenopausal women – finding that intake of a supplement had no significant effect on the severity of joint symptoms.\n\nDr. Eldon Dahl has explained the importance in the following PreventDisease.com interview of sourcing supplements with formulations that contain ingredients that complement each other.\n\nMost supplements on the supplement market today contain calcium carbonate which is an inferior form of calcium and manufacturers attach a simple chelating agent like citric acid to make it more absorbable, however the end product is inferior to other calcium supplements such as calcium orotate, which is the only known form of calcium which can effectively penetrate the membranes of cells.\n\nCalcium and all minerals actually, are inorganic. Consequently, they are not easily absorbed. It’s required they be bound to some other substance (preferably organic) in order to be utilized at all. The inorganic salt, carbonate, neutralizes a required stomach acid. Among many key physiological requirements and ratios, stomach acid is desperately needed for absorption of ALL minerals.\n\nWith the support of medical research, the market has been flooded with calcium supplements, many which fail to take into consideration calcium metabolism. You have all heard the old saying, “You are what you eat.” In light of today’s food supplies, it may be more apropos to say “You are what you absorb.” A mineral that is not absorbed cannot get into the bones; it just floats in the blood stream and then forms deposits in the joints. The amount absorbed is more important than the quantity consumed.\n\nThe type of minerals in the formula determines the absorption levels: Opti-Cal/Mag with Vitamin K2 is a co-enzyme complex, heat-stabled molecules that must be associated with another enzyme for them to perform their function in the body. It is necessary in the utilization of vitamins and minerals for proper delivery to the cell nucleus. One study found that Opti-Cal/Mag complex is 8.79 times more absorbed into the blood than calcium carbonate and 2.97 times more than calcium gluconate.",

"Dairy – One of The WORST Foods for Calcium Absorption\n\nAnother fact most people are unaware of is the myth promoted by the dairy industry that consuming pasteurized dairy products such as milk or cheese increases calcium levels. This is totally false. The pasteurization process only creates calcium carbonate, which has absolutely no way of entering the cells without a chelating agent. So what the body does is pull the calcium from the bones and other tissues in order to buffer the calcium carbonate in the blood. This process ACTUALLY CAUSES OSTEOPOROSIS. Milk definitively does not do a body good if it’s pasteurized.\n\nDairy contains too little magnesium needed at the proper ratio to absorb the calcium. Most would agree that a minimum amount of Mag in the Cal. to Mag Ratio is 2 to 1 and preferably 1 to 1. So milk, at a Cal/Mag ratio of 10 to 1, has a problem. You may put 1200 mg of dairy calcium in your mouth, but you will be lucky to actually absorb a third of it into your system\n\nConsider, why is it that the elderly bent over double with osteoporosis even after they ate plenty of dairy and took the doctor recommended calcium supplements most of their adult life? Could it be that pharmaceutical conglomerates know that dairy (and most doctor recommended calcium supplements) are not a good source of calcium, but they tell you they are because they don’t really want the “calcium” to stave off osteoporosis…they would much rather sell you Fosamax instead.\n\n1. Eat calcium rich foods\nEat foods high in calcium. The best food sources are non-pasteurized raw dairy sources such as raw milk/yogurt, as well as bony fish, such as sardines. Leafy green veg such as kale, broccoli and spinach are also rich in calcium. Dried herbs and dried fruits such as figs and currants are also good choices. Seeds such as sesame, chia and flax are also rich sources of calcium. Also, enjoy foods that contain sulfur such as garlic and onions.\n\n2. Food selections/combinations are critical\nTry not to eat whole grains and calcium-rich foods at the same time. Whole grains contain a substance that binds with calcium and prevents proper absorption. Some foods that contain compounds such as oxalic or phytic acids, such as sweet potatoes, beans, rhubarb, celery and beets, can also decrease the amount of calcium that’s absorbed when eaten at the same time as calcium-rich foods.\n\n3. Avoid the causes of mineral excretion\nPass on phosphate-containing foods such as soft drinks. Phosphorus causes the body to excrete calcium. Limit or avoid high-protein animal foods. A diet high in protein causes calcium to be excreted from your body. Decrease caffeine consumption. People who smoke have significantly lower bone density, while drinking alcohol can also prevent your bones from absorbing the maximum nutrients from your food.\n\n4. Get more Sunlight and Vitamin D\nVitamin D helps the body absorb calcium. Although some is found in oily fish, our main source comes from the effect of sunlight on your skin. It’s estimated that half of us have a deficiency because we don’t get outside enough or because we always use sunblock. It is especially important to maximize sun exposure between May and September to keep vitamin D levels topped up. Just 10 minutes of sunlight a day on bare arms and your face can cut your risk of bone fractures by a third. A half hour exposing your torso is equivalent to roughly 10,000 units of Vitamin D.\n\n5. The right exercise\nAnother vital way to boost your bones is weight-bearing exercise –basically anything that has you upright and using your body weight. Good choices include squatting, rope skipping, aerobics, plyometrics, dancing or brisk walking. “Research shows that if you don’t exercise you end up weeing out all the calcium you take in instead of storing it in your bones,” warns Professor Dawn Skelton, an aging and health specialist at Glasgow Caledonian University. “Ideally we should aim for 150 minutes of moderate activity per week. “Put simply, the more hours we spend on our feet, the fewer bone breakages we should have in later life.”\n\n6. Avoid Medications and Medical Therapies\nAcid-blocking medications used for heartburn and other gastrointestinal conditions can block the absorption of calcium through the stomach walls. Stomach acids break down food during the digestive process, allowing the nutrients to become absorbed into your body. Medications designed to stop acid production or decrease the amount of acids present in your stomach can have a negative effect on calcium.\n\nMarco Torres is a research specialist, writer and consumer advocate for healthy lifestyles. He holds degrees in Public Health and Environmental Science and is a professional speaker on topics such as disease prevention, environmental toxins and health policy.",

"1. Cancer Prevention\nCashews are ripe with proanthocyanidins, a class of flavanols that actually starve tumors and stop cancer cells from dividing. Studies have also shown that cashews can reduce your colon cancer risk. Their high copper content also endows the seed with the power to eliminate free radicals and they are also good sources of phytochemicals and antioxidants that protect us from heart disease and cancer.\n\n2. Heart Health\nCashews have a lower fat content than most other nuts and most of it is in the form of oleic acid, the same heart-healthy monounsaturated fat found in olive oil. Studies show that oleic acid promotes good cardiovascular health by helping to reduce triglyceride levels, high levels of which are associated with an increased risk for heart disease. Cashews are wonderfully cholesterol free and their high antioxidant content helps lower risk of cardiovascular and coronary heart diseases. The magnesium in cashews helps lower blood pressure and helps prevent heart attacks.\n\n3. Hair and Skin Health\nCashews are rich in the mineral copper. An essential component of many enzymes, copper plays its part in a broad array of processes. One copper-containing enzyme, tyrosinase, converts tyrosine to melanin, which is the pigment that gives hair and skin its color. Without the copper cashews are so abundant in, these enzymes would not be able to do their jobs.\n\n4. Bone Health\nCashews are particularly rich in magnesium. It’s a well-known fact that calcium is necessary for strong bones, but magnesium is as well. Most of the magnesium in the human body is in our bones. Some of it helps lend bones their physical structure, and the remainder is located on the surface of the bone where it is stored for the body to use as it needs. Copper found in cashews is vital for the function of enzymes involved in combining collagen and elastin, providing substance and flexibility in bones and joints.\n\n5. Good for the Nerves\nBy preventing calcium from rushing into nerve cells and activating them, magnesium keeps our nerves relaxed and thereby our blood vessels and muscles too. Too little magnesium means too much calcium can gain entrance to the nerve cell, causing it to send too many messages, and leading to too much contraction.\n\n6. Prevent Gallstones\nData collected on 80,718 women from the Nurses’ Health Study demonstrates that women who eat at least an ounce of nuts each week, such as cashews, have a 25% lower risk of developing gallstones.\n\n7. Weight Loss\nPeople who eat nuts twice a week are much less likely to gain weight than those who rarely eat nuts. Cashew nuts are indeed relatively high in fat, but it is considered “good fat.” This is attributable to the ideal fat ratio in the nut, 1:2:1 for saturated, monounsaturated, and polyunsaturated, respectively, which is recommended by scientists for tip-top health. Cashew nuts contain less fat than most other popular nuts, including peanuts, pecans, almonds and walnuts. They are dense in energy and high in dietary fiber, making them a very valuable snack for managing weight gain."

"After a morning that began with a 2:30 departure from my hotel, I finally arrived in Istanbul. I set out with time to spare before my flight, and at the Tashkent airport parking lot, I was able to surreptitiously change the rest of my Uzbek money back to dollars through the window of a shadowy woman’s Chevrolet. The customs procedures in Tashkent ended without incident, although I will not keep any fond memories of the airport, often called the most frustrating in all the world. Although I haven’t been to every airport in the world, I can’t really think of any worse airports to which I have been.\n\nThe gates were not manned by airline staff, and when the announcements were made for flights, a mad stampede took place as people rushed to get to the doors, down the stairs, and onto the waiting buses that shuttled people to the planes. Grandmothers, people with canes, and children were all swallowed up in the crowd. When my flight was called, as people were rushing down the stairs, someone decided that they were at the wrong gate, and turned around. In the mass confusion that ensued, everyone who had pushed their way to the stairs suddenly turned around, as if propelled by the same instincts that make schools of fish collectively change direction. Of course, not understanding anything, I meekly followed along, assuming, like everyone else, that someone else knew where we were going. We ascended the stairs, scurried across the waiting room, and struggled to get through another gate, only to turn around again when it was discovered that the leader of the pack was on a different flight. When we finally made it back to the correct gate, and were waiting for the tarmac buses to take us to the plane, people had begun shouting in frustration. Of course, there was no staff to which to direct these cries, so people just started yelling at themselves.\n\nEventually, I made it onto the plane, and enjoyed the window-seat ride over some stunning landscape. Seeing the changing terrain below reinforced an issue that has been weighing heavily in my thoughts: that by flying over such a huge swath of my route, I was going to miss out on all of the transitions between Central Asia and Europe. Arriving here, I discovered that my apprehension was somewhat justified. Suddenly, after five weeks of gradual transition from Xian to Bukhara, I had been transported someplace completely out of context. Obviously, due to political situations in the countries which I skipped, the decision to fly here was the safest choice, but I can’t help feeling that I’m missing out on something.\n\nOf course, I’m probably exaggerating a bit. This place is not quite as far removed from the rest of my journey as I’m making it out to be, and it will fall on me to draw the connections to the places I’ve seen as I spend more time here. At some point in the future, and I don’t know when I’ll ever get around to it, I would also like to spend more time exploring the rest of Turkey, which could take two months alone. This might also help me fill in some of the missing pieces, barring a trip through Afghanistan, Iran, and Iraq.\n\nUnfortunately, once I arrived here, I was pretty exhausted, and ended up sleeping through much of the day. I made it out for a nice stroll in the evening, and had a good meal, but I don’t have too many photos to show for my first day here. I’ll have many more tomorrow, and much more on my first impressions of the city that has been on the top of my “Dream Cities to Visit” list for at least fourteen years.\n\nHere are the limited photos that I have:",

However, it's no exaggeration to say that visiting the interior of this space was the fulfillment of a long architectural dream of mine. It was a moving experience, and I know that there are more like this to come.",

"The F-117 continues to be one of the most intriguing aircraft ever built, even nearly a decade after it was retired, and close to 30 years after it was originally unveiled to the public. From the Nighthawk's \"cloaking device\" to its \"toxic death\" paint job, it seem like some of the most interesting aspects of the F-117's story are the small bits that have largely gone unreported. Maybe one of the most obscure and enigmatic details of the \"Black Jet\" is an elusive component called the Radar Locating System (RLS). For an aircraft that survives on its stealthy shape and coatings, these flip-down antenna arrays seem to deviate drastically from the F-117's modus operandi. But then again, the impetus for their existence may make more sense than not—that is if they really existed at all.\n\nThe F-117's Radar Locating System consists (as far as we know) of a pair of small planar antenna farms located under the aircraft's wings, about ten feet from the wing roots, near their leading edges. The idea behind the system seems to have been that the F-117 pilot, who would normally retract all the jet's antennas when moving into hostile territory to minimize its radar reflectivity, could activate the system and its antennas would pop down into the airstream. Once deployed, they would work as a radar homing and warning receiver (RHWR), not only notifying the pilot of the an enemy radar's presence and type, but also its direction and maybe even its general location.\n\nBased on some accounts, the RLS seems to have been more about using the F-117 for the destruction of enemy air defenses (DEAD) role than just avoiding enemy emitters, and was possibly part of a program that aimed to see the F-117 dynamically go after radar and SAM sites as a secondary mission set. Based on the information available, it may have also had a recording function and could have given the aircraft a secondary signals intelligence collection capability as well.\n\nThe picture above is credited to James Goodall—if you don't own James's books, make sure to buy them, and a new one on nuclear fast attack subs is coming out this summer. It is a rare photo of this elusive system. According to one source, the array appears to be set up for spiral omni-directional electronic support measures (ESM) antennas, roughly 50mm in diameter, which are typical for 0.2-18GHZ surveillance coverage, and they can be specifically tuned to different bands. Because of their wide spacing on each side of the jet's wings, the two sensor blocks/arrays coupled with the forward motion of the jet would provide direction finding ability. In other words, at least the threat emitter's bearing could be identified, and possibly its range. This would be especially useful for finding and attacking newer road-mobile SAM systems like the S-300 and SA-11 that were emerging at the same time the F-117 was operating under high secrecy in the Nevada desert.\n\nToday some of the most powerful capabilities that a combat aircraft possesses, especially the stealth kind like the F-22 and F-35, are their abilities to detect, classify and geolocatethreat emitters and other components of an enemy's integrated air defense systems (IADS). This is done via antennas placed all around the aircraft, under its stealthy skin. These conformal arrays are tied to high-speed computers that use interferometry, a large threat library, and other methods to give pilots—and even other aircraft connected via data-link within the battlespace—a real time tactical \"picture\" of the electronic order of battle around them. RLS seems like a very early and somewhat poorly conceived attempt to give the F-117 a fraction of this capability. Because conformal arrays and their composite coverings were not available at the time, the flip-down method was likely used.\n\nThe likely problem with the system was that it drastically increased the F-117's radar cross section when in use, as its flip-down antennas compromised the jet's smooth ventral surface. This is an especially bad attribute when it comes to maintaining a very low radar cross section for the critical forward hemisphere of the aircraft. The likely result was the F-117's radar signature bloomed drastically when the RLS was activated. As such, the system would not only blow the Nighthawk's cover, but it would also turn it into a target. Not just that, but it would have only offered a \"snapshot\" of the electronic threat environment around the F-117 at any given time. That's because the system would need to be retracted quickly, or it would turn the jet into a sitting duck while operating in enemy airspace.\n\nBy most accounts, it seems that the system was either just part of a test series, or was only used for a very limited amount of time operationally, and how many jets it was installed on remains an unknown—that is if it ever existed at all.\n\nSome veteran F-117 maintainers seem to remember the quirky RLS trap doors pretty well. They even have mentioned that they were known to sag, which would not only hurt the jet's stealth capabilities, but on dark nights that often were prime operations time for F-117 missions, partially opened RLS doors could be a hazard for maintainers foreheads.\n\nNot just that, but the RLS is prominently featured in the F-117's \"Dash One\" operating manual. It is not only mentioned, and its abandoned control panel identified, but its location is also shown clearly in a diagram of the jet. You can see the mentions below, and the entire manual is available online here.\n\nIt has been noted that by 2006, the system was not listed in official hazard and crash responders documents which are posted online here. The diagram showing the RLS doors are still there, but it does not identify it as being something that is accessible like the rest of the aircraft's retractable antenna, so it seems as if the doors were permanently sealed or filled-in at some point in time. This could have occurred during a depot overhaul or upgrade.\n\nWhile we have a picture, written and first hand accounts of the Radar Locator System, it seems that its existence is still highly doubted by some—including the man that largely oversaw the development of the jet—senior Skunk Works engineer and F-117 program manager Alan Brown.\n\nI chatted at length with Mr. Brown about the F-117 and this obscure, and let's face it, mysterious feature. He was as puzzled as I was. After sending him the picture of it, he was kind enough to respond with his conclusions:\n\n\"This picture doesn’t look like anything that was ever put on a F-117A airplane, and as such I am inclined to discount the story entirely. The only possibility to my mind is that the USAF made the modification themselves without Lockheed’s knowledge, but that itself is impossible for me to believe, knowing how well we followed up with the airplane in the field. Lockheed Skunk Works always had a cradle-to-grave philosophy in terms of follow-up with its products in service.\"\n\nMr. Brown was even nice enough to contact his successor as F-117 program manager, Sherm Mullin, to see what his thoughts were about the RLS enigma. His reply was just about the same as Mr. Brown's, stating that \"it was never put on the F-117, period.\" Although he did mention that it could have been a concept from a study that occurred from 1984 to 1985 that apparently went off the rails conceptually and was disbanded with prejudice as a result.\n\nDuring roughly that same time period it is known, although not well documented publicly, that the F-117 was tested with some fairly elaborate modifications. This supposedly included a handful of sensor systems in addition to the jet's stock Infrared Acquisition And Designation System (IRADS). We know that a passive electronically scanned array (PESA) radar was flown on one F-117 in a specially-built radome fitted on the Nighthawk's iconic wedge-like nose. Maybe RLS was one of the other mods that was deemed successful, and was accommodated for in some F-117s built, but never fully installed.\n\nStill, you would think that even something as useless as an empty-flip down antenna array would be well known by the F-117s top engineers and program managers.\n\nSo there you have it, the obscure mystery of the F-117's funky little flip-down Radar Locator System. For a jet that was made famous for its work during Desert Storm, it is really amazing that we are still finding new peculiarities of its design and genesis to discuss. Then again, the jet was so exotic for its time and its deep classification added massively to its murky lore—not to mention it has off-the-charts techno-sinister looks—that really it is mystery personified. The fact that it is still flying, and we are still wondering as to its applications, even after it left front line service almost a decade ago, goes to show you that the F-117 is a mystery machine at heart that just won't die.",

"We've been watching the HBO series Perry Mason which is a noir take on the Erlel Stanley Gardner novels and the long-running TV show of the same name starring Raymond Burr. Despite two excellent leads in Tatiana Mislany and Matthew Rhys,along with a host of other fine actors, the plot meanders and its a couple of episodes too long.\n\nMatslany plays an evangelist in the 1930's who is part gospel fervour, part glitzy, glamorous showperson. Her character rang a bell and I realized that she is loosely modelled on real-life Aimee Semple McPherson, known as Sister Aimee. Interestingly, both McPherson and Matsany were/are Canadians who received acclaim in the United States. In the series, Sister Alice is from Saskatchewan, Maslany's home province.",
null,
"McPherson was arguably the first celebrity evangelist, drawing huge crowds and using radio to broaden her audience. Not only was Sister Aimee a woman, unusual for a Christian leader in that era, she was a divorcee. She mysterious disappeared for a number of days at one point and was presumed drowned. There was actually a memorial service but when she reappeared, claiming she'd been kidnapped, a parade was held with 150,000 people lining the streets. While she was on the cover of Time Magazine she lived under a cloud of suspicion related to her style, her claims of faith healing, and her finances.\n\nI've been pleasantly surprised that the series employs actual hymns and choruses which might have been sung in that era, and there are quotes from scripture which actually make sense in the context in which they'rs used. This is so rare in television and films where Bringing in the Sheaves and Amazing Grace are sung to death.\n\nI'm not sure that I'd recommend Perry Mason but I do appreciate the reminder about Sister Aimee and Maslany is a credible Sister Alice.",

"There are still 11 Oregon Republican state senators missing, having fled Salem in protest of a greenhouse gas emissions cap-and-trade bill. The legislators say such a bill would harm Oregonians, especially those in industries such as logging.\n\nGov. Kate Brown has authorized the Oregon State Police, whose jurisdiction ends at the state border, to locate the absent senators and return them to the Capitol building.\n\nIt’s believed that most of the 11 Republicans have fled the state, possibly to Idaho.\n\nAs the Oregon Senate Republicans for the fourth time ignored a scheduled Senate floor session Monday, staff and lawmakers in both chambers are taking a serious look at the bills that would die if they don’t return.\n\nSenate Democrats have circulated a list of about 100 bills headed for the trash pile, including budget bills for a number of state agencies, top priority bills for the governor and Democratic legislative leadership, and even Republican-sponsored bills designed to assist rural Oregonians.\n\nDeclining to show up for the floor session means the Senate lacks a quorum needed to conduct business and pass House Bill 2020. With 18 members in the Senate, Democrats are in the supermajority, but they need two Republicans to reach a quorum of 20.\n\nThe state Constitution requires that the 2019 legislative session end on June 30, at which point all bills not passed by both chambers of the Legislature would die. A five-day extension of the session is possible, but would require a two-thirds vote in each chamber.\n\nSenate Republicans also are incurring a $500 fine per missed session, which was levied by the Senate on Thursday.",

"Much of the literature on symbolic power seems to agree on its nature as a tool for production of cultural content that is key in shaping social reality. In fact, neo-Kantians Ernst Cassirer, Edward Sapir and Benjamin Whorf see symbolic content, comprised of “myth, language, art and science”, as a tool to build and maintain a common consciousness (Bourdieu, 1991:164). Structuralist Bourdieu adds to this that symbolic power is the ability to construct social reality, one that only exists when it is legitimised by its audience (Bourdieu, 1991:166). John B. Thompson, also a structuralist, explains how symbolic power shapes social reality, underlining that it “stems from the activity of producing, transmitting and receiving meaningful symbolic forms.” It is a “fundamental feature of social life, on a par with productive activity, the coordination of individuals, and coercion” (Thompson, 1995:16). Likewise, Manuel Castells, a social constructivist, characterised power as the “relational capacity that enables a social actor to influence asymmetrically the decisions of other social actor(s)” (Castells, 2009:10), and underlined that the structuration of society is done through cultural means, which includes symbolic content.\n\nWhat is more, Niklas Luhmann’s notion of “productive differentiation” explains the importance of codification in understanding how symbolic power shapes reality – codification “serve the system’s self-determination” (Luhmann, 2000:17), and allows its agents to communicate and establish standards of conduct. Symbolic power is therefore used to construct reality through the codification and classification of symbolic content to establish a specific narrative.\n\nUnderstanding the relationship between symbolic power and the media requires understanding what the media is. James Curran defines the media as the institution that has the ability to disseminate information to large masses (Curran, 1982:198). For instance, he establishes a link between the Catholic Church in the Middle Ages and XXth century media – both sources of information and influencers of social life. The Church and the media have contributed to shaping the social environment they interact with by creating and controlling the circulation of information, and maintaining a privileged relationship with the ruling elite.\n\nProfessor Nick Couldry adopts a more audience-centric vision, by asserting that the media are the tools used by individuals to access society’s reality and common themes. Traditionally, this media has been materialised in the shape of broadcasting devices, however, the Internet and digitisation of many social structures and relations is now bringing into question the very definition of the media. Indeed, the media are no longer owned and managed by a networked elite that can freely shape the narratives it decides. Now that 40% of the world’s population is connected to the Internet[1], voicing one’s opinions has never been easier, and connected audiences have been increasingly active and vocal (Luhmann, 2000:16).\n\nLastly, Thompson identifies media power as the “capacity to intervene in the course of events, to influence the actions of others and indeed to create events, by means of the production and transmission of symbolic forms” (Thompson, 1995:17), a process which we will refer to as mediation. Couldry underlines here, however, that this definition of media power does not take into account the special need for attention that certain producers of this power warrant. Indeed, Couldry goes on to explain that some symbolic power producers have control over a more “local” level of power, while others have the power to shape social realities and structures on a larger scale (Couldry, 2003:4). The place of digitally enabled individuals, traditionally part of the audience, as independent media actors also comes to mind, as they contribute to the media’s symbolic production. We can relate this to Castells’ view on the structuration of society, a process that is developed through the interactions between individuals and institutions, and the power relationships that inhabit them. This also means that “power is not located in one particular social sphere or institution, but it is distributed throughout the entire realm of human action.” (Castells, 2009:15)\n\nSymbolic Power as a Tool for the Media\n\nDurkheim also explored the themes of mediation and social structures, stating that the unity of a social group rests on the group’s shared symbolic content (Duncan, 1969:146). In writing this, he establishes the link between symbolic power and social unity, as symbolic content represents a common means of identification for the individuals in the group. As a result, “structuring subjectivities”, a Durkheimian notion, contribute to building the “sensus” (Bourdieu, 1991:164), and, later, the consensus. This concept has been echoed by Bourdieu’s structuring structures, underlining the importance of reciprocity in how symbolic power is carried out.\n\nIt is interesting to note here that, while Durkheim and Bourdieu both believe in the reciprocity of social structures with their structuring entities, Durkheim differs from Bourdieu in his vision of how society’s codification is carried out. In his view, “collective ways of thinking and acting exist in their own right. This is not to say that individuals cannot change the collectivity. Yet when the individual does so, other members of the collectivity must accept his social facts as their social facts if there is to be any kind of socialization” (Duncan, 1069:147). On the other hand, Bourdieu believes that society, its norms, myths, and traditions, are “historically constituted forms and therefore arbitrary”, and result from a “convention” (Bourdieu, 1994:13) between the different actors involved.\n\nAre the media the only providers of social structures? Certainly not. Several institutions come to mind when assessing which ones contribute to the production of social structures, some also through the use of symbolic power. To paraphrase Couldry, traditionally, the state holds the tools for creating social reality, through educational institutions, matrimonial traditions, and laws, amongst other things (Couldry, 2003:17). This notion is reinforced by Bourdieu’s explanation of how the state interacts with society: “It is in the realm of symbolic production that the grip of the state is felt most powerfully. State bureaucracies and their representatives are great producers of ‘social problems’” (Bourdieu, 1994:2). Castells also emphasises the multi-faceted aspect of social structuration. He sees them as “multilayered and multiscalar. They operate on different forms and levels of social practice: economic (production, consumption, exchange), technological, environmental, cultural, political, and military. And they include gender relations that constitute transversal power relationships throughout the entire structure” (Castells, 2009:15). Here lies the difficulty in understanding media power; digital technologies have made it possible to have as many narratives of society as there are people willing to create one, and these are becoming increasingly globalised and cross-contextual, bringing into question the very place of symbolic power in modern societies. While some may still argue that the media, as one of the main structures that produces symbolic content, has access to large audiences, and strong links with state actors, still hold a considerably key role in the definition of reality (Couldry, 2003), we should not disregard the evolution brought about by digital technologies, a theme which requires further in-depth research that warrants an essay of its own.\n\nWe have therefore seen that symbolic power refers to the capacity an actor has to create and transmit norms, myths and traditions, called symbolic content. In our current world, the media largely hold this power, through their ability to freely produce and disseminate symbolic content to large audiences, using both traditional and digital broadcasting devices, therefore contributing to the shaping of social reality. In addition, the rise of digital media has established a link of reciprocity between the media and society itself, as both providers and consumers of symbolic content. Keeping that in mind, Nick Couldry and Manuel Castells bring about an interesting point: the media can no longer be seen as a uniform, asymmetrical sphere of power that overshadows society. The creation of new technologies has connected individuals, and provided them with platforms to speak up on, to become part of the media. This, in turn, contributes to creating even more narratives of society, on a local, national and global scale. An interesting question therefore arises: what society is created by the media that offer so many alternatives of a society that is in never-ending self-examination?\n\nOne thought on “Is symbolic power a relevant notion to understanding the media ?”"

"For much of the game Thursday, the Capitals looked like the better team than their opponent, the Nashville Predagors. But the Predators were able to force overtime and one mistake ended up giving them the win over the home team.\n\nEvgeny Kuznetsov was on the ice at the start of the overtime period. After about a full minute, he tried to make the quick change, but there was just one problem: Nashville still had the puck.\n\n“The 3-on-3, if the other team possesses the puck, especially if they're standing in the neutral zone, you can't change,” head coach Barry Trotz said after the game. “They're just waiting for you to go to the box and then they're passing it. It's an automatic 2-on-1. … The change ended up creating a 2-on-1. It's the decision to change that created the chance.”\n\nPredators forward Ryan Johansen had the puck in the Caps’ offensive zone, but retreated to the neutral zone when he saw he had no room to work with. He skated near the boards on the side opposite of the benches.\n\nAt this point, about one minute had elapsed in overtime. Kuznetsov had been on the ice the entire time.\n\nAn average NHL shift is about 45 seconds long. One minute of ice time in 3-on-3 with more space to work with will tire you out pretty quick. With Johansen in the neutral zone away from the benches, Kuznetsov made a break for it to try to make a quick change leaving the left side of the ice wide open.\n\nWith Ovechkin skating in pursuit of Johansen and Kuznetsov on his way to the bench, that left two Nashville players wide open with nothing but John Carlson between them and the net. Johansen made the pass to Viktor Arvidsson who skated in behind Ovechkin and the break was on. Kuznetsov immediately turned around before he reached the bench and skated in pursuit, but by then it was too late. You can see the full play in the video above.\n\nBraden Holtby said after the game that he and Carlson “got a little crossed up” leading to Carlson leaning a bit too far towards P.K. Subban who was on the rush and leaving Arvidsson too much room to shoot. Arvidsson took advantage.\n\nBut when caught on a 2-on-1, there’s only so much the goalie and defenseman can do. The play that triggered the situation was a poor decision by Kuznetsov who tried to make a break for the bench when the Predators still possessed the puck.\n\nSaid Trotz, “We made an in-between decision, they capitalize on it and we're sitting here with one less point than we feel that we could have.”\n\nMORE CAPITALS: Check out the latest edition of the Capitals Faceoff Podcast"

"Imagine that you are watching a really great magic trick. The celebrated conjuring duo Penn and Teller have a routine in which they simultaneously appear to shoot each other with pistols, and each appears to catch the bullet in his teeth. Elaborate precautions are taken to scratch identifying marks on the bullets before they are put in the guns, the whole procedure is witnessed at close range by volunteers from the audience who have experience of firearms, and apparently all possibilities for trickery are eliminated. Teller’s marked bullet ends up in Penn’s mouth and Penn’s marked bullet ends up in Teller’s. I [Richard Dawkins] am utterly unable to think of any way in which this could be a trick. The Argument from Personal Incredulity screams from the depths of my prescientific brain centres, and almost compels me to say, ‘It must be a miracle. There is no scientific explanation. It’s got to be supernatural.’ But the still small voice of scientific education speaks a different message. Penn and Teller are world-class illusionists. There is a perfectly good explanation. It is just that I am too naive, or too unobservant, or too unimaginative, to think of it. That is the proper response to a conjuring trick. It is also the proper response to a biological phenomenon that appears to be irreducibly complex. Those people who leap from personal bafflement at a natural phenomenon straight to a hasty invocation of the supernatural are no better than the fools who see a conjuror bending a spoon and leap to the conclusion that it is ‘paranormal’ (Richard Dawkins, The God Delusion, Kindle Edition, page 155).\n\nAnalogies are a common way to provide understanding on what can be a complex subject. The quote above is taken from Richard Dawkins’s The God Delusion, a book where Dawkins says that Christians err in believing that there’s a God. Christians are “deluded” about the existence of a Creator and thus, believe there to be one when reality shows or says otherwise. This quote above pertains to an analogy Dawkins makes between Christians and spectators of a magic trick. In the same way that magic tricks give an illusion of special powers in the performer, thus nature gives an “illusion” of design when there is none to speak of. And Christians, deluded by the “magic trick” of nature, presume that there must be a God who created it because they can’t conceive of any way that nature could arrive here without an Intelligent Designer guiding it.\n\nDawkins tries to discredit Christianity, but his “Magic Trick” analogy fails in a few places. Let’s explore them below.\n\nMagic tricks are learned, the origin of life is still a mystery\n\nDawkins is rather proud of his magic trick analogy, but it fails because it presumes that someone has been able to re-create the origin of life event. Sure, Dawkins focuses on the magic trick as an illusion to say that the presumption by Christians that “God did it” is an illusion as well, but it’s worth saying that, unlike magic tricks that are rehearsed tirelessly until they look “magical,” no one has been able to recreate how life began in the science lab. So, Dawkins’s magic trick analogy is already starting to look suspect.\n\nI look forward to the day when science remotely closes in on the presumed chemical makeup for the origin of life (the chemicals involved), but few chemists, even in 2017, would presume they’ve reached that point.\n\nMagic tricks are seen by humanity, but no human was present when life began\n\nEvery human on earth today can go view magic tricks (there are no shortage of them), but none of us (nor any human, for that matter) was present when life began. According to Genesis, mankind was the last of God’s creation, so we wouldn’t have been present to see the sun, moon, stars, cloud/sky, lakes/oceans, etc., when life began as we know it.\n\nIf we’ve never seen how life originated (unlike how magic tricks are performed), positing a supernatural God as the One who made it all is a logical argument in the absence of scientific evidence. The earth has existed for billions of years (according to evolutionists), and the lack of chemical replication to demonstrate the origin of life shows that the appeal to a supernatural origin isn’t illogical. If a supernatural being created all we see, we would expect that man, no matter how intelligent and developed he is, would never be able to replicate that supernatural act at the beginning of time.\n\nMagic tricks have a natural explanation for them, the origin of life may not\n\nWhen one looks at a magic trick, a learned magic trick, one can infer that there’s a perfectly good explanation for it that unravels the idea of it being a true magic trick, a true display of supernatural power. For example, take someone who snaps his finger and the penny between his two fingers disappears. Someone may be fascinated with that, but it’s likely that the individual has only had the penny fall in the arm of his shirt. He may have to shake his shirt for the penny to “reappear.” Here are some examples of magic tricks that are really just science.\n\nThe same thing can be said about the magic trick that requires someone be chained up in a box, and then the box is submerged in water. Someone watching it may wonder, “How does she do that?,” when in reality, the water may not have been deep and there may have been a room beneath the water where the person chained up can break free, get dressed in a new costume, and then emerge in a door at the back of the stage. TV has long shown that magic tricks are really learned illusions that give the appearance of supernatural power when they have none.\n\nWhen it comes to the origin of all living things, though, there’s been none of the learned magic tricks that Dawkins supposes in his analogy. No human has been able to “learn the tricks” of combining the right chemicals in the science lab to create life in the laboratory. If the Christian view of the origin of life could be chalked up to a magic trick, all humans would have an instruction manual on how to create their own biological life in the world. We don’t have that, so Dawkins’s analogy breaks down.",

"If science is God, would we really expect God to allow us to have His creative power in its entirety to let us mix chemicals, create life in the science lab, and bring to life the desire of Adam and Eve to be equal with God? I think not.\n\n4 thoughts on “Divine Creation is No Magic Trick: The error of the Dawkins analogy”"

"When the Good Lord was creating mothers, He was into His sixth day of “overtime” when the angel appeared and said. “You’re doing a lot of fiddling around on this one.”\n\nAnd God said, “Have you read the specs on this order?” She has to be completely washable, but not plastic. Have 180 move-able parts…all replaceable. Run on black coffee and leftovers. Have a lap that disappears when she stands up. A kiss that can cure anything from a broken leg to a disappointed love affair. And six pairs of hands.”\n\nThe angel shook her head slowly and said. “Six pairs of hands…. no way.”\n\nIt’s not the hands that are causing me problems,” God remarked, “it’s the three pairs of eyes that mothers have to have.”",
null,
"That’s on the standard model?” asked the angel. God nodded.\n\nOne pair that sees through closed doors when she asks, ‘What are you kids doing in there?’ when she already knows. Another here in the back of her head that sees what she shouldn’t but what she has to know, and of course the ones here in front that can look at a child when he goofs up and say. ‘I understand and I love you’ without so much as uttering a word.”\n\nGod,” said the angel touching his sleeve gently, “Get some rest tomorrow….”\n\nI can’t,” said God, “I’m so close to creating something so close to myself. Already I have one who heals herself when she is sick…can feed a family of six on one pound of hamburger…and can get a nine year old to stand under a shower.”\n\nThe angel circled the model of a mother very slowly. “It’s too soft,” she sighed.",

"But tough!” said God excitedly. “You can imagine what this mother can do or endure.”\n\nNot only can it think, but it can reason and compromise,” said the Creator.\n\nFinally, the angel bent over and ran her finger across the cheek.\n\nThere’s a leak,” she pronounced. “I told You that You were trying to put too much into this model.”\n\nYou are a genius, ” said the angel.\n\nSomberly, God said, “I didn’t put it there.”",

"Fans jumped for joy when they heard that Sega would be bringing the Dreamcast classic Jet Set Radio to modern day consoles with an HD upgrade, but also were rightly concerned about the game’s soundtrack. This concern came with the fact that a previous release from Sega, Crazy Taxi, had a number of its classic songs removed due to licensing issues.\n\nHowever it seems that fans of Jet Set Radio can put their fears to rest because Sega has revealed that they have successfully obtained the rights to nearly every single song worldwide, including the Japanese, European and North American soundtracks. Only two songs will not be in the final version, “Yappie Feet” and a song called “Many Styles” from the PAL version/\n\nThis is a huge plus for the game and many fans will be guaranteed to pick it up now when it is released sometime this summer. Those curious about the full track list can check it out below:\n\nAlso including such popular tracks as …\n“Electric Tooth Brush” by Toronto\n“Everybody Jump Around” by Richard Jacques\n“OK House” by Idol Taxi\n“Bout the City” by Reps\n“Funky Radio” by B.B.

"Home » Half of SEC basketball teams are coached by Black women: ‘It looks like what it’s supposed to look like’\n\nHalf of SEC basketball teams are coached by Black women: ‘It looks like what it’s supposed to look like’\n\nKNOXVILLE, Tenn. — When Kentucky named Kyra Elzy its women's basketball coachin December, she knew there would be big expectations.\n\nShe had been serving as the interim coach following Matthew Mitchell's sudden retirement in November due to personal health reasons. In his 13 years, he took the Wildcats to unprecedented levels of success, making the NCAA Tournament every year except for 2018 from 2010-19.\n\nAfter Elzy led Kentucky to a 6-0 start and a top-10 ranking, athletics director Mitch Barnhart decided to remove the interim tag Dec. 14.\n\nSure, there would be pressure to keep Kentucky at a consistent level of competition, but Elzy also represents a shift in representation for collegiate athletics.\n\n“I got into coaching originally because I wanted to inspire, impact and influence young women, and God has given me the platform to do so,\" Elzy said when she was hired. \"There have been so many Black coaches to lead the way in order for me to be given this opportunity.\"",
null,
"The other Black coaches in the SEC are at Auburn, Georgia, LSU, Ole Miss, Mississippi State and South Carolina. There are only six Black female coaches in the rest of the Power 5 conferences combined. Of those six, four have been hired in the past three years.\n\nIn that regard, the SEC is light years ahead.\n\nAnd there's no better place to showcase the SEC's lead than the conference tournament, which begins Wednesday in Greenville, South Carolina.\n\nSouth Carolina's Dawn Staley was the first of the current coaches to be hired in 2008. In 2011, LSU hired Nikki Fargas, and a year later, Terri Williams-Flournoy took over at Auburn, followed by Joni Taylor at Georgia in 2015.\n\nOle Miss' Yolett McPhee-McCuin was hired in 2018 and Mississippi State's Nikki McCray-Penson is in her first season.\n\nElzy and McCray-Penson played for legendary Tennessee coach Pat Summitt. Fargas, who grew up in Oak Ridge, was an assistant for Summitt.\n\n28 STORIES IN 28 DAYS: John Thompson and John Chaney created legacy for Black college basketball coaches. Who will lead the next generation?\n\nIn Taylor's case, she's just the second full-time coach in Georgia's history, taking over after Andy Landers retired after 36 years.\n\n\"We're changing the narrative of how people see Black women,\" Taylor said during a roundtable discussion airing this week on the SEC Network to talk about the culture around the SEC. \"Because the truth is, we have been the backbone for a long time, and the spotlight is just now coming on us.\"\n\nTaylor was named the SEC's Coach of the Year on Tuesday after leading the Lady Bulldogs to an 18-5 record, including a 10-5 mark in conference play that resulted in a fourth-place finish in the SEC.\n\nStaley has established herself as one of the top college coaches, regardless of sport or gender. In 2017, she led the Gamecocks to their first national title.\n\nGeorgia's Joni Taylor was named the SEC women's basketball coach of the year this week. (Photo: The Associated Press)\n\nShe was just the second Black coach to lead a women's basketball team to a national championship, following in the footsteps of Carolyn Peck, who led Purdue to the title in 1999.\n\nSince 2013, South Carolina has finished no worse than second in the SEC standings, with four outright regular-season conference championships. Staley has guided the Gamecocks to the NCAA Tournament every year since 2011.\n\n\"The NCAA women's basketball has been comprised of a lot of older white women and some men,\" Staley said. \"Now it's our turn, and it looks a lot different than what it looked like. It looks like what it's supposed to look like, where we have a diverse group of women.\n\n\"Fortunately for us, we converged on the SEC.\"\n\nRepresentative leadership has especially been important in the past year, as events surrounding the death of George Floyd on May 25 in Minneapolis brought underlying conversations about discrimination and inequality back to the forefront of the American consciousness.\n\nAll seven SEC coaches have been vocal in their communities, and they've all allowed their players to participate in Black Lives Matter rallies, and other forms of peaceful protest.\n\nThree days after McCray-Penson was hired at Mississippi State, she traveled to Jackson, Mississippi, to speak about the removal of the state's flag, which was emblazoned with a Confederate battle emblem.",
null,
"McPhee-McCuin was one of the first to raise Mississippi's new flag, which prominently features the Magnolia — the state's official flower.\n\n\"I'm in Mississippi, so I'm well aware of the struggles of being Black in the South,\" McPhee-McCuin said. \"I hear about it every time that I recruit. People use it against me all the time.\n\nCollege coaches also are tasked with protecting their players, an issue that's been made relevant recently after all but one member of Tennessee's team elected tokneel during the national anthem before a game against Arkansas on Jan. 7.\n\nIn the wake of that, the Lady Vols have faced staunch opposition from those outside the program, including some fans and Tennessee's Republican legislators.\n\n\"What I hope we're representing is a better tomorrow,\" Fargas said. \"That we're leaving a pathway that allows our young daughters and sons to have it better than what we had it.\""

"The Hypocrisies and the Double Standards of Men!\n\n…. I learned to my sorrow that the human race\n\nIs teaming with scoundrels, each with a double face\n\nTherefore, until they perish and meet their end\n\nOnly then one dares to call a person a friend.-\n\nIn Search of A Friend – Poem by Mustafa Mohamed Said (PDO)\n\nA long time ago when I was working with ‘one state of the art prestigious project’ firm – I was going to conduct a preliminary first short list interview of candidates for one Administration position – when in my Office walked two guys – one was the Interviewee – and the other was ‘his friend’! The friend had told the Interviewee that he knew me personally and well – and if he would be allowed to talk to me first – because ‘he wanted to use the great ‘W’ thing with me! So if he could be allowed to talk to me in private first before the Interview?\n\nI found this man’s behaviour very strange, crude, odd and weird – but I went on to entertain him anyhow – though we were already behind schedule in the Interviews Programmes! That is M for you – entertaining and bending backwards to accommodate! Anyway, what else is new? The weirdest part was his telling his friend that he knew me well – which was far from the truth! I never knew the guy – and had never ever met him in my life before!\n\nThe world is full of crazy weird people of all kinds and sorts! Because after the poor man had left the office – the ‘good friend’ asked me if he could close the door – which I have this bad habit of always ‘keeping it open’! So I obliged! The next was my shock to my every atom and foundation! He was crooked enough to ask if the position involved dealing with customers – and handling money! It was none of his business anyway – but this soft softie approach of mine in dealing with such insurgents had always put me in trouble before – but I never learn my lesson!\n\nSo I replied to the affirmative to both the questions. Then he shocked me to the core – do not recruit this guy! Yes – do not! He has been terminated due to some pending cases against him – so ‘I tell you to be careful! I was so shocked – because I did not know what to do next! Normally we have what in HR we call as a Reference Check – that is checking the person out – if we are really interested in him or her after being shortlisted.\n\nThen he called his friend – he said in front of him! I told M all about you – which was true in semantics – and he will do something about your application – doubly semantic as also true! I had to go through the motions of the interview anyhow – but I was so confused and lost – because this was the first time such a thing had happened to me – and did not know what to do!\n\nMeanwhile, his friend went about to others. As soon as I had finished the interview – in walks my boss who liked such things – telling me – give me his CV. To which he took it from me – and tore it up! He told me – this guy is out! He is not a reliable candidate! It later materialised the ‘good friend’ had been to him too – whilst I was conducting the interview!\n\nAnyway, I had an opportunity far later in life when I met this Interviewee and asked him about his ‘friend’! He told me – Oh, he is a very good friend – actually my brother in reality! Then he told me how his ‘friend’ had helped him whilst ‘between jobs’ – and looking after his family! Eventually this man was cleared of the case – and was paid a handsome compensation for his false termination – and got a better job than the one we had planned for him! God’s mysterious ways of working out things – finally for the ‘trusting guy’!\n\nNow those of you who know me well will tell me that something must have happened to you this week for you to write on the topic! You are not mistaken – again! Do you know about Facebook? Well, I sort of had this ‘friend’ lying with me idle in my lists for ages! As a Writer and Columnist I get many requests to be a ‘friend’ – and I do not have the heart to say ‘another time’ or to decline. I feel bad to hurt someone’s feelings – especially if he or she is a fan! Or just likes occasionally to read my articles!\n\nMy late father one day beat me up very badly – because unknown to me I was followed to the Masjid by a puppy I was playing with before – and yet I was joining the congregation prayers! With due respects to ‘dogs lovers’ – because the animal is considered sort of unclean’ – I did not make the rules – just following them! The point I want to make here is – if you play with a puppy it will follow you to the mosque. Rhetoric in meaning! For a dog – it is just a building!",

"So this one guy – the name sounds local though – writes something best put as idiotic – and foolishly I put in my comments. It is supposed to be a religious topic – so you must expect comments from others – if you have the nerve and guts in the first place to put it in!\n\nThis is what I always say about the increasing extremism, fundamentalism and radicalism in some quarters – especially by some of the Youth – and how they are not able to handle it – when opinions and views come in that are different from theirs! That is why we have so many issues, problems and troubles now!\n\nMy double shocks next when he abrasively replies – in a public forum like Facebook – using the N word to describe me ‘to shut up’! I feel like giving him a good piece of my mind – but then I take the high road – and just say – I feel sorry for you – Bye! I then remove him from my friends in Facebook – and in my lists. No longer a Friend! Better now before it is too late!\n\nWhat I find strange and weird is using the ‘N’ word to describe me – though he misspelled it – with my first inclination for him to go back to school to learn English before replying to others!\n\nYes I was born in Zanzibar – and I tell you that am very proud of it – the fact – too! If it makes you happy to name call – go ahead – it is your funeral – not mine!\n\nThat is my story! Take Care!",

"Daniel Ricciardo and Max Verstappen admit Red Bull still doesn't fully understand the reasons for its current deficit to Formula 1 rivals Mercedes and Ferrari, or how to catch up\n\nThe Red Bull RB13 has qualified well off the pace at each of the first two grands prix of 2017, with Max Verstappen 1.297 seconds adrift of Lewis Hamilton's pole time in Australia and Ricciardo 1.355s away in China.\n\nVerstappen and Ricciardo split the Mercedes and Ferrari battle with a three-four result in mixed conditions at Shanghai, but Ricciardo said this could not disguise the fact Red Bull has slipped back compared to last season and has a lot of work to do to catch up.\n\n\"We always feel once we get to [races in] Europe, things start to brighten up for us.\n\n\"I'd like to say by the time we get to Barcelona [in May] we can get that below a second and then chip away at it.\n\n\"We expected to be closer. Right now we're too far away, but we don't have a massive cure yet to say 'by this race, we're going to be on their pace'.\"\n\nTeam boss Christian Horner said during pre-season testing that Red Bull had deliberately opted for an efficient, low-drag aerodynamic concept with the RB13, and reiterated his faith in the potential of that concept after the Chinese Grand Prix.\n\nRicciardo was non-committal when asked whether Red Bull would need to abandon this concept to make proper progress, but admitted closing the gap would take more than a \"quick fix\" of conventional aerodynamic upgrades.",
null,
"Many expected Red Bull to flourish under 2017's new aerodynamic regulations, given its historic prowess in this area.\n\nRicciardo cautioned that it has been playing catch-up since the advent of the V6 hybrid turbo engine formula, and that rival teams have negated Red Bull's previous chassis advantages.\n\n\"Adrian Newey has a big name sure, but the top teams, Ferrari, Mercedes, everyone has a good department these days,\" Ricciardo added.\n\n\"Our ability to develop is strong, and that's where we were particularly good last year, but it's not a strength not starting on the front foot - that's a weakness.\n\n\"Unfortunately, since I've been with the team, we're always playing catch-up from the start of the year.\"\n\nTeam-mate Max Verstappen said Red Bull could \"see it coming after winter testing\" and is just trying to make the best of things while it works on solutions.\n\n\"Of course, you want to be there and challenge for victory, but if it's not possible you just have to deal with it and try to make best of it, and that's what we are doing,\" he said."

"After 65 people were evacuated Thursday, stabilization is in place at the Horizon West Condominium in Waukesha.\n\nWAUKESHA, Wis. - A Waukesha condominium building that had reported structural issues in June 2020 has been fully evacuated due to the threat of a building collapse, a news release from the mayor's office said Friday, Dec. 3.\n\nSixty-five residents of the Horizon West Condominium Homes building were evacuated Thursday night by the fire department \"due to deteriorating structural conditions at the building.\"\n\nAn independent structural engineering report found the building is \"at an imminent threat of collapse due to compromised conditions of existing structural columns,\" police said.\n\nMcGuire Contractors installed temporary bracing to reinforce a structural column Friday. The contractor working on the project told FOX6 News nobody will ever live in the building again.\n\n\"Right now the building has been temporarily shored, which takes away the immediate threat of collapse. Which makes it safe for us to open up the street in front of the building. The residences – the two (neighboring) buildings – will be able to be reoccupied,\" said Waukesha Fire Chief Steve Howard.\n\nHoward said that, according to structural engineers and the available information, the building should be safe enough to avoid collapsing Friday night, but he is \"not qualified to make that determination.\"\n\nAn hour's notice is extreme to force people from their homes, but Howard said the choice was clear.\n\n\"When a structural engineer tells you everybody needs to immediately get out, that’s pretty straightforward,\" Howard said.\n\nHoward, as well as the mayor and city administrator, met with the condo board and engineers. The fire chief said it was mainly a rust problem on the building, which was built in 1966 and is owned by the 48 unit owners.\n\nThe contractor working on the Horizon West Condominium Homes project told FOX6 News nobody will ever live in the building again. It has been temporarily braced.\n\nFriday's work was done so that it would be safe to reopen the road and allow the people next door back into their homes.\n\nHoward explained that the issues are due to a combination of factors, including damage from a 2019 wind storm, were revealed when removing balconies.",
null,
"Questions remain about the building's maintenance.\n\n\"The vast majority of the time, the common theme is that the board was paralyzed by indecision,\" said Todd Walter.\n\nWalter is the Reserve Advisors great lakes regional executive director – a company that helps condo associations create financial plans to prevent things like this from happening.",
null,
"Reserve Advisors has not worked with the Horizon West building but told FOX6 it is likely that maintenance had been put off.\n\n\"There is certainly an issue within community associations where the conditions are allowed to deteriorate well past the point where they should have been addressed because of financial issues, because the association doesn’t have the money to fund the project,\" Walter said.\n\nAccording to a news release from Waukesha Mayor Shawn Reilly's office Friday afternoon, the city has been aware of issues with the Horizon West Condominium over the last year and a half.\n\nIn 2020 and 2021, the condo association made multiple attempts to hire contractors, the release said.\n\nDoctors and other hospital workers at Children's Wisconsin sat down with FOX6 News to paint a picture of the atmosphere and response during the Waukesha Christmas Parade mass casualty situation."

"If you’re hooked on the new Netflix/ESPN collab Last Dance and (im)patiently waiting for the next couple of episodes to come out, you’re not alone. Or, maybe you’re just as bored as the rest of us and killing time with some good ol’ celebrity ‘research’ — until the next episode provides a little more juice on the legendary journey of the Chicago Bulls icons.\n\nNow, finding more info on the home of the legendary basketball player really isn’t that hard; and that’s because Michael Jordan’s house in Highland Park, IL is listed for sale on Zillow — and has been on the market for quite some time.\n\nJordan first listed his home 8 years ago for a whopping $29 million, but the mansion has seen many price cuts over the years, with the current selling price set at 14,855,000. And while that might sound hefty, as the listing notes, the property has been fitted with every conceivable luxury amenity.\n\nFun fact: as Business Insider wittingly pointed out, the numbers in the property’s listing price — 1 4, 8 5 5, 0 0 0 — add up to 23, Jordan’s basketball jersey number (also proudly plastered on the property gates).\n\nThe massive property totals 56,000 square feet and is located in Highland Park, a community set 25 miles outside of Chicago. In fact, Michael Jordan was not the only member of the Bulls to call Highland Park home; Scottie Pippen, Toni Kukoc, B.J. Armstrong, and even GM Jerry Krause all lived in the area, as it was within proximity to the team’s practice facility in neighboring Deerfield.\n\nThe NBA superstar’s home was built in 1995, at the height of his career, and comes with 9 bedrooms, 14 parking spaces, and some pretty out-of-the-ordinary customizations — including a door taken straight from the Playboy mansion.\n\nImpressive as it may be, MJ’s house seems to have had the biggest impact on Derrick Rose — the only other player in Bulls franchise history, besides Jordan, to win both the Rookie of the Year and MVP Award.\n\nIn a recent interview, Derrick Rose opened up about the time in high school when he got to visit Michael Jordan’s house and the impact it had on him; Rose, who was friends with Jordan’s two sons, was living in living in Englewood, one of Chicago’s most precarious neighborhoods. After seeing the house Jordan’s family lived in, he distinctly remembers telling himself that one day, he too will live in a lavish home and get his mom out of poverty. He went on to become the first Bull since Jordan to make an All-Star team.\n\nFirst off, one thing we need to get out of the way: extremely expensive properties take a very long time to sell. Regardless of the celebrity status of their owners, mansions priced over $10 million dollars — especially those set outside of luxury hot-spots like Los Angeles or New York City — take years to find the right buyer. Just ask 50 Cent, whose massive compound in Farmington, Connecticut took 12(!) years to sell.\n\nThen, there’s also the level of customization. Michael Jordan spent millions to customize the home to his liking, but individual tastes don’t always match those of interested buyers. In fact, the more customized the home is, the harder it is to find the right buyer for it. The best example is Shaquille O’Neal’s iconic house in Florida, that bounced on and off the market for years, with no takers.",

"Too much vino? LG brings Wine Smart oldster-mobe to Europe\n\nHey guys, the Millennium called and wants its flip phone back",

"The Wine Smart is a new 4G Android phone from LG, and it looks vastly different to anything else on the market: it’s a flip phone. Yep, it flips like it's 1999.\n\nBoth LG and Samsung have been selling Android flip phones in their native land for a while. Doro tried a slider with the Doro 740, but European availability of an Android flip phone, from a big manufacturer, is new.\n\nLG sees older users as its target market, by describing the device as “especially for a generation of users who are more accustomed to the feel of flip.”\n\nOriginally announced in the domestic Korean market as LG Gentle, the LG Wine Smart has a large physical 12-key numeric keypad and seven shortcut keys including one for mail and one for the 3MP camera (the Korean market version of the Wine smart gets an 8MP camera).",

"White on black makes the buttons easy to read\n\nThe device includes LG’s Safety Care feature. This tags certain numbers as being people you’ll only call in an emergency. When you call them it will send the contact a text saying that it’s an emergency and giving your GPS position. The phone can also be set up to send the same text when the phone hasn’t been used for an extended period of time.\n\nUnlike some of the Raku-Raku flip phones sold for older Japanese users, it does not send a text the first time the flip is opened each day. There is no emergency button on the back – a feature which is de rigueur for the senior market. The lack of a charging dock is also a little disappointing.\n\nIt runs Android Lollipop 5.1.1, and can be considered a low-end smartphone with a quad core Qualcomm Snapdragon 400, running at 1.1GHz, with 1GB of internal RAM and MicroSD expansion.\n\nWith a comparatively small screen and a 1700mAh battery, the power usage should be be decent. It measures 117.7 x 58.7 x 16.6mm and weighs 143g. It’s available in blue and, appropriately enough for a phone called Wine, burgundy.\n\n“Our goal with LG Wine Smart was to create a smartphone that fans of flip phones could embrace,” said Chris Yie, vice president and head of marketing communications for LG Mobile Communications Company.\n\nThe market for senior phones in the UK is completely dominated by Doro which has more than 90 percent market share by value. Attempts to launch smartphones into the space such as the Fujitsu Stylistic have failed to mirror their Asian success, and devices such as the Kapsys remain niche.\n\nPrices are between free and £130 in South Korea, depending upon contract. European prices will be announced when the phone becomes available later this month. ®"
