"At the height of the PC revolution, the PC industry sold about 350 million PC’s a year. Those days are long gone, and unit sales of PC’s have declined ever since. But during the last 18 months, we have seen a slight uptick in PC demand, mainly from buyers looking for mid to higher priced laptops and Desktops. Some key industry players did not see this new demand coming, and in the case of Intel, they do not have the amount of mid to high-end processors available to meet the demand of some of their OEM’s this quarter.\n\nWhile demand is slightly up, don’t be fooled by this uptick. Demand for PC’s continues to decline and will never really grow again and be as robust as it was a decade ago.\n\nThe chart below lays out the dim prospects facing the traditional PC market and shows by 2020 we will barely be selling 250 million PCs annually.",
null,
"There are many reasons for the decline in PC demand, but two products appear to have had the most significant impact on many people, especially consumers.\n\nIt does not mean that demand for PC’s will ever stop completely. Indeed, it is still the most important productivity tool for business users and many consumers. But the smartphone and tablet can do about 70% of what a person can do on a laptop or PC in more portable settings, and these are becoming the most used personal computers people use every day of their lives.\n\nWhat we are seeing is a lot of people using their PC’s for what we call “heavy computing” for creation, serious productivity and apps that want more horsepower and need a full blown PC or laptop to do specific tasks. A lot of people in business and some high-end consumers still need PC’s and laptops for the kind of job they do either daily or as the case with consumers, and whenever they need to do a task or project that requires more capabilities, then the can get with a tablet or a smartphone.\n\nThat is why, especially in the business sector, we are seeing a bit more of demand in mid to high-end laptops and computers and are willing to pay more for quality, speed, durability and with the goal of keeping them 4 to 5 years. High-end consumer demand somewhat tracks this same approach to buying more expensive laptops and PC’s, expecting to keep them for 4 to 5 years too.\n\nBut some of the OEM’s realize that users in business and consumer markets are using their smartphone more and more for productivity and see some of the new tablets, like Apple’s new 12.9” iPad Pro, even encroaching on laptop buyers who want performance but more portability.\n\nI have talked to one major OEM who is thrilled that PC demand is slightly rising now, but their forecasters believe that within the next 2-3 years, we may be lucky if the PC Industry sells 225 million PCs by then.\n\nBut there is one buying group in the wings that are becoming a deep concern for traditional PC Vendors. That group is often called early Gen Z and ranges in ages between 14-18. If you have a kid in this age range, you already know that the smartphone is the center of their PC lifestyle.\nThese kids are highly tech literate and have even found out ways to be productive using just their smartphones.\n\nWhile some of these kids have been using Chromebooks in their schools, others have used mainly iPad’s and tablets. But their primary computing tool is a smartphone. Even more important is their mastery of these smaller screen’s and its user interfaces. My two granddaughters school only uses iPads. They do all of their work assignment just on an iPad. I watched the kids in their school using the iPad to do their homework, read their textbooks, do presentations and fundamentally use it as their primary computing tool. Interestingly, in this case, since the iPhone mostly maps an iPad regarding UI and capability, some even do a part of their homework assignments on an iPhone.\n\nWith this in mind, I was privy to some early research on this issue with the goal of trying to find out what form factor this age group would likely demand when they enter the workforce. While the early research on this suggested they would not be opposed to using some form of a laptop, their preferred form factor is tending towards some tablet with keyboard design. It turns out, growing up using their smartphones as their most personal computer is influencing the type of computer they will want to use when they start their work careers.\n\nMicrosoft kicked off this concept with their original Surface tablet/keyboard product some years ago, and it turns out that the core buyers of this type of Surface computer are mostly people in millennial age ranges. Recently, Apple took a bold step to position their new 12.9 inch iPad as a potential laptop replacement. And we hear from ODM’s that at least two large laptop vendors have been asking for more Tablet Focused devices with built-in keyboards too.\n\nWhile these 14-18 years olds are very smartphone-centric, I am sure you have seen kids as early as ten years old getting smartphones too. This entire generation will grow up using smartphones as their primary computer since it is the device they spend the most time with and use it for both consumption and various forms of productivity such as email, texting, and research.\n\nPC vendors who only focus on laptops and even 2 in 1’s need to do more research on the younger Gen Z audience and study closely how they use their smartphones as their primary computer. My guess is that by the time they enter the workforce, traditional notebook designs will be their parent’s computer and they will want to use something very different than what is offered to most in the workforce today."

"Busy Philipps is joining the millions of Americans protesting the Supreme Court’s overturn of Roe v. Wade … and she’s making her stand near Capitol Hill.\n\nBusy was with hundreds of other demonstrators Thursday in Washington, D.C. … marching down a street near the Supreme Court with a giant banner reading “We Won’t Back Down.”",

"The “Cougar Town” star was on the group’s front line as they sang “We want justice” to the melody of Queen’s hit “I Want it All.”\n\nBeyond the marching and singing, Busy made it clear she means business when it comes to opposing the controversial SCOTUS ruling — she was wearing a t-shirt that says, “I will aid and abet abortion.”\n\nAs you know, protests have been nearly nonstop since last Friday when the Supreme Court finally issued its opinion on Roe v. Wade … after a draft of the opinion leaked back in early May.\n\nSecurity at the Capitol was beefed up to address any civil unrest, according to sources within the Capitol Police. The way they see it — anytime there are crowds of people on opposing sides, it’s a recipe for potential violence."

"CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – A Hopkinsville woman was arrested Sunday after allegedly trying to strike her husband with a car and running over his foot in Clarksville.\n\nAccording to an arrest warrant, the husband said he and his wife were at a nightclub and she became jealous because he danced with another woman. He said they argued and he left the club. As he was walking, his wife followed him in their vehicle and she attempted to hit him with the car, the warrant says.\n\nAt one point, she ran over his right foot, he told police.\n\nWhile a Clarksville police officer was speaking with the man on Seminole Trail, the wife drove up and stopped in the road. The police officer wrote in the warrant that she had bloodshot watery eyes, slurred speech, smelled of alcohol and was unsteady on her feet. She performed poorly in a sobriety field test and told the officer she had been drinking and knew she should not be driving. She was taken to the Montgomery County Jail and a breath test showed her blood alcohol level as .176.\n\nNancy Castillo Cruz, 39, was charged with aggravated assault and driving under the influence. She was booked into the Montgomery County Jail on $2,500 bond.\n\nReaders are reminded that an arrest, charge or indictment is an allegation and not a statement of guilt. Those charged are presumed not guilty until convicted by a judge or jury.\n\nAnyone who has information that might lead to the arrest and conviction of a suspected criminal can earn up to $1,000 by calling the Clarksville-Montgomery County Crime Stoppers tips line at 645-TIPS. Callers can remain anonymous."

"One music producer ya gal is seriously keen to watch into the next few years is Ramii, so we sat down and had a chat.\n\nRamii is a music producer born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio and has produced music since 2016, it wasn’t long before he moved across to LA in 2013 to pursue his career.\n\nRamii started his career primarily producing for many Cleveland-based artists like Chip the Ripper and Machine Gun Kelly which he continues to work with to this day.\n\nYou may not even know this but Ramii has also expanded his production talents to produce for artists such as Kid Cudi and Big Sean, to name a few.\n\nAt just 32 years of age, you can find him developing up-and-coming artists to releasing his own music.\n\nSo we sat down with Ramii to chat about his progression into music production and experience on Red Bull’s, ‘The Cut’.\n\nHow did you develop your passion for music?\n\nI developed my passion for music when I was 17 years old. I used to bang on the tables in the cafeteria in high school and could always make good beats with pencils and pens. It then turned into programing music on FL studio 3.\n\nDid you ever take on any formal music lessons?\n\nI took a few years of musical lessons but most of the things I’ve learned in music came from other musicians and also YouTube!\n\nWho were your biggest musical influences growing up and why?\n\nDescribe your creative process as a music producer?\n\nMy creative process usually starts with finding sounds on the keyboard. I usually start with a melody and then do the drums after. A lot of times I’ll work on an idea for ten minutes, save it, and then come back to it later to see if it still sparks something for me creatively.\n\nDescribe the process of how you got onto Red Bull’s ‘The Cut’?\n\nFor ‘The Cut’, I kept receiving emails from the Casting Director but I thought it was spam, I didn’t think anyone would want me to be on TV. I wasn’t going to do the competition at first. I was shy and didn’t want to be on TV. I’m very glad I did it. It was a fun experience and I look forward to doing more TV things in the future.\n\nDesta was so nice and she would listen and take instruction well. She pushed me creatively and was honest to me with what she liked and disliked. I prefer to work with artists like her who are honest because it pushes me to be better and to create something catered for the artist.\n\nWe absolutely loved your track ‘All That I Need’ – can you describe some of the challenges you faced creating the tune?\n\nAll that I need came actually pretty easily. There weren’t many challenges with that record. It flowed effortlessly.\n\nWhat was the biggest thing you took away from your experience on the ‘The Cut’?\n\nMy biggest take away is that I enjoy TV! It’s a whole new world but it’s so much fun. I enjoyed being on camera. It was my first time and hopefully not my last. The staff and the producers were all so nice and encouraging. I met so many great people.\n\nIf you could collaborate with any artist in the world, what would be your dream collaboration?\n\nFinally, what’s your biggest piece of advice for other young creatives who may be fearful of showcasing their talents to the world?\n\nMy advice to the up and coming producers is to do music for the love of it. Do it every single day. Really fall in love with music and learn the history as well. Be patient and continue to strive to be better. Make sure you are happy with your music and confident with it before sharing it.\n\nNow all you gotta do is chuck Ramii a follow on Spotify to ensure you’re up to date on all his latest happenings."

"Colombia's Role in the Most Important Biodiversity Meeting of the Decade\n\nColombia's Role in the Most Important Biodiversity Meeting of the Decade\n\nCanada will host a meeting of 196 countries to decide the new goals of the most important agreement to halt global biodiversity loss in the next seven years.\n\nFor several years, we have known that the news about nature is not good at all; the loss of forests and reports of endangered species are a constant presence in the daily discussion. But there is also data to support this perception. WWF's Living Planet Report 2022 concluded that, between 1970 and 2018, there was a 69% decline in the abundance of mammal, bird, amphibian, reptile and fish populations.\n\nLatin America is the most critical case: the decline was 94%. The biodiversity crisis, then, is undeniable, and will have increasingly visible consequences.\n\nTo reverse the problem, between December 7 and 20, representatives of 196 countries will meet in Montreal, Canada, to reach the most important agreement in more than 10 years to protect the planet's animals, ecosystems and natural resources. But it's not just about conserving nature; protecting biodiversity has everything to do with our own health and well-being, since it provides us with, to name just a few things, the air we breathe, our water and much of our food.\n\nThis meeting is known as the United Nations Conference on Biodiversity (COP15) or the meeting of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD).\n\n\"The time has come to change the trajectory of our planet and, consequently, the future of humanity,\" said Elizabeth Maruma Mrema, executive secretary of the CBD, at a press conference.\n\nBeyond replicating the warning messages, it is expected that, at the end of the summit, an agreement will be reached on the Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework, the set of targets to help halt biodiversity loss until 2030. Taking into account the serious crisis mentioned above, experts like Mrema hope that this pact will be as important as the Paris Agreement to fight climate change, the document where commitments were established to prevent global temperature from exceeding 1.5°C by 2100.\n\nThere is already a draft of this agreement, but there are still several points that generate disagreements. One of these relates to funding for biodiversity. Participants are expected to achieve a $200 billion increase in public and private money to protect nature. But there are several other goals such as conserving at least 30% of the world's terrestrial and marine areas, reducing the rate of introduction of invasive alien species (such as hippos in Colombia) by 50%, and reducing pesticide use by 33%.\n\nColombia's participation in COP15 The Convention on Biological Diversity, broadly speaking, seeks to ensure three things: the conservation of biodiversity, the promotion of its sustainable use and that the benefits of the use of genetic resources (such as plants or seeds used for agriculture) are shared fairly.\n\nIn practice, meeting these goals means not only protecting important natural areas, such as the Amazon, but also making changes in land-use and business planning to incorporate nature into decision-making. \"Colombia, along with other tropical countries, is an important player in this discussion, as it is a megadiverse country,\" says Laura Bermúdez, from the Ministry of Environment, and one of the country's negotiators who will participate in COP15.\n\nThere is great expectation about the role that the country can adopt in the negotiations, especially because of its track record in other negotiation spaces with other countries and some of the decisions taken by the current government, says Ximena Barrera, director of Government Relations and International Affairs of WWF Colombia.\n\nBarrera points out that initiatives such as the carbon tax, in the Tax Reform, and the proposal of President Gustavo Petro to reduce the foreign debt in exchange for Colombia to advance measures to address the climate crisis, are an example of the current interest in the issue of biodiversity.\n\n\"In this order of ideas, Colombia has managed to make more widely visible the risks it faces as a country vulnerable to the effects of climate change, which in turn implies the loss of its natural heritage\", emphasizes Barrera.\n\nWhat will the Colombian delegation focus on specifically?\n\nSandra Vilardy, vice-minister of Environmental Policies and Standardization of the Ministry of Environment, indicated that there are three messages that the country will highlight during COP15: the need to incorporate precise participation mechanisms for indigenous and Afro-descendant peoples in decision-making on nature; that the effect of climate change on the biodiversity crisis be made clear; and that the agreement incorporate a focus on how \"damages and losses\" to ecosystems\" will be addressed.\n\n\"In tropical countries like ours, where, for example, glaciers, páramos and coral reefs are going to have effects, perhaps we have already crossed the point of no return and that has implications and this is not being seen with sufficient emphasis in the Convention,\" Vilardy explained about the latest message.\n\nBermúdez, from the Ministry of Environment, points out that there are other key issues in Colombia's negotiating position. One of them, for example, is how to integrate other sectors, in addition to the environmental sector, to create specific commitments within the framework of the new agreement. A good example is agriculture, as there are at least two specific goals that talk about changes for that sector. Goal 7, for example, seeks to reduce the sources of contamination for biodiversity and this implies reducing the use of chemicals, such as pesticides.\n\nBermúdez adds that the Ministry of Mines and Energy will be another actor that will have to join the discussion and, possibly, make specific commitments. On the issue of financing, there are still several doubts, but what is clear is that resources must be guaranteed to implement the goals that are agreed upon.\n\n\"It has been said that we cannot depend solely on international cooperation,\" says Bermúdez, and that implies discussions about the contribution-public and private-that each country would assume.\n\nOn December 16, the Colombian delegation will launch the financial accelerator mechanism, although there are not yet many details about what will be presented. Vilardy adds that the Colombian delegation will also stress the importance of the new framework including clear targets and indicators, so that progress can be measured globally. The idea is to avoid the agreement having the same outcome as the previous biodiversity targets: the Aichi targets.\n\nIn 2010, in Aichi Province, Japan, the CBD countries committed to 20 targets to halt biodiversity loss by 2020. These were known as the Aichi Targets, grouped into a set of five broad goals. Although it is difficult to establish with certainty what progress was made in meeting them, several biodiversity experts agree that the achievements were minimal. This is serious for several reasons. Biodiversity science groups, such as the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES), have reiterated that we must act now to halt biodiversity loss. Failure to do so would not only cause major losses of several species, but also endanger human health.\n\nIn addition to this, a recurring question ahead of COP15 is: if the Aichi targets 'failed', what would ensure that this new agreement does succeed?\n\nPaula Bueno, Policy Advocacy Specialist at WWF Colombia, indicates that there are several keys to the new agreement. \"The first thing is that it must be very clear that there are exact and measurable goals. With the Aichi, it was difficult to know if they were met or not because there were no goals as such, only objectives,\" he says.\n\nBarrera, from WWF, adds that a strong implementation mechanism should be included, as well as strengthening the follow-up and periodic evaluation processes to see how compliance with the goals is progressing. For Bueno, however, there are good lessons to be learned from the Aichi targets. \"They were very cool targets, because they were to the point and clear,\" she says. In that sense, she argues that the new agreement should aim to be practical and concise. Will an agreement be reached? The short answer to this question is that there will be an agreement. The doubt is how ambitious it will be or whether consensus will be reached on the thorniest issues, such as financing or changes in the agriculture sector. \"The agreement has always moved under the precept that nothing is agreed until everything is agreed. Each country has certain red lines it will not cross, but the outcome of the agreement is beyond prediction,\" explains Bueno.\n\nBetween December 3 and 5, the group of negotiators from all the countries held the last meeting to fine-tune details of the final agreement before COP15 begins. Around 9 a.m. this Tuesday, details of what was decided in this last meeting are expected to be available. WWF's Bueno indicates, however, that there is a general consensus among the countries on objectives such as promoting conservation and restoration measures, the need to manage the territories in an integrated manner and with the participation and inclusion of the communities. On the economic issue, she says that \"it is clear that there is a need to address economic models that better integrate nature, but I don't know how we are going to establish a specific goal there. In addition, she says, \"today more than ever it is clear that the cost of not investing resources in biodiversity loss is much higher than investing in a timely manner, this is being made much more visible by the private sector, there is much awareness that this is true\".\n\nThis story was produced as part of the 2022 CBD COP15 Fellowship organized by Internews' Earth Journalism Network. \\It was first published by El Espectador on 6 December 2022.

"“The attention mechanism allows the model to create the context vector as a weighted sum of the hidden states of the encoder RNN at each previous timestamp.”\n\n“Transformer is a type of model based entirely on attention, and does not require recurrent or convolutional layers”\n\nContext vector is the output of the Encoder in an Encoder-Decoder network (EDN). EDNs struggle to retain all the required information for the decoder to accurately decode. Attention is a mechanism to solve this problem.\n\n“Attention mechanisms let a model directly look at, and draw from, the state at any earlier point in the sentence. The attention layer can access all previous states and weighs them according to some learned measure of relevancy to the current token, providing sharper information about far-away relevant tokens.”\n\nGPT: Generative Pre-Trained Transformer. Unlike BERT, it is generative and not geared to comprehension, translation or summarization tasks, but instead writing or generative tasks. It uses unsupervised learning to train a deep neural network with a seq2seq model. It does not use reinforcement learning (feedback from environment) or supervised learning. It uses “masked self-attention” to predict the next text during training on its dataset.\n\nThe term “generative” is used to emphasize GPT’s ability to generate new, original text, rather than just processing or analyzing text that already exists. A generative model is a type of machine learning model that is trained to produce data, such as text, images, or music, that is similar to the data it was trained on. GPT is a generative model because it is trained on a large corpus of text data and can then generate new text that is similar to the text in its training data. This allows GPT to produce human-like text on a wide range of topics, which can be useful for a variety of applications, such as language translation, text summarization, and question answering.\n\nA “transformer” is a type of neural network architecture that was introduced in 2017. It is a deep learning model that is used for natural language processing tasks, such as language translation and text summarization. A transformer consists of two main components: an encoder, which processes the input text, and a decoder, which generates the output text. The encoder and decoder are connected by a series of attention mechanisms, which allow the model to focus on different parts of the input text as it generates the output. This architecture allows the model to process input text in a parallel, rather than sequential, manner, which makes it more efficient and effective than previous models. The transformer architecture has been widely adopted in natural language processing and has been shown to be highly effective for many tasks.\n\nGPT was released June 2018 by OpenAI.\n\nBERT was released Oct 2018 by Google.\n\nThis attention concept looks akin to a fourier or laplace transform which encodes the entire input signal in a lossless manner in a way that allows sections or bands of it to be referred to later. Although implemented differently it’s a way to keep track of and refer to global state.\n\nBERT and GPT are both based on the Transformer ideas. BERT is bidirectional and better at ccomprehending meaning from the whole sentence/phrase whereas GPT is better at generating text.\n\n“The most important distinguishing feature of this approach from the basic encoder–decoder is that it does not attempt to encode a whole input sentence into a single fixed-length vector. Instead, it encodes the input sentence into a sequence of vectors and chooses a subset of these vectors adaptively while decoding the translation. This frees a neural translation model from having to squash all the information of a source sentence, regardless of its length, into a fixed-length vector. We show this allows a model to cope better with long sentences.”\n\nThis description makes it more like a wavelet transform, that does auto-correleations of a signal at different levels of granularity to make sense of it.\n\nOmnisci is a columnar database that reads a column into GPU memory, in compressed form, allowing for interactive queries on the data. A single gpu can load 10million to 50million rows of data and allows interactive querying without indexing. A demo was shown at the GTC keynote this year, by Aaron Williams. He gave a talk on vehicle analytics that I attended last month.\n\nIn the vehicle telemetry demo, they obtain vehicle telemetry data from an F1 game that has data output as UDP, 10s of thousands of packets a second – take the binary data off of UDP, and convert it to json and use it as a proxy for real telemetry data. The webserver refreshes every 3-4 seconds. The use case is analysis of increasing amounts of vehicle sensor data as discussed in this video and described in the detailed Omnisci blog post here.\n\nProgramming of the blocks is done through the UX with StreamSets which is an open source tool to build data pipelines – a cool demo of streamsets for creating pipelines including kafka is here.\n\nThe vehicle analytics demo pipeline consisted of UDP to Kafka, Kafka to JSON, then JSON to OmniSci via pymapd . Kafka serves as a message broker and also for playback of data.\n\nBased on the the GPU loaded data, the database allows queries and stats on different vehicles that are running.\n\nThe entire system runs in the cloud on a VM supporting Nvidia GPUs, and can also be run on a local GPU box.\n\nLacework Polygraph is a Host based IDS for cloud workloads. It provides a graphical view of who did what on which system, reducing the time for root cause analysis for anomalies in system behaviors. It can analyze workloads on AWS, Azure and GCP.\n\nIt installs a lightweight agent on each target system which aggregates information from processes running on the system into a centralized customer specific (MT) data warehouse (Snowflake on AWS) and then analyzes the information using machine learning to generate behavioral profiles and then looks for anomalies from the baseline profile. The design allows automating analysis of common attack scenarios using ssh, privilege changes, unauthorized access to files.\n\nThe host based model gives detailed process information such as which process talked to which other and over what api. This info is not available to a network IDS. The behavior profiles reduce the false positive rates. The graphical view is useful to drill down into incidents.\n\nOSQuery is a tool for gathering data from hosts, and this is a source of data aggregated for threat detection. https://www.rapid7.com/blog/post/2016/05/09/introduction-to-osquery-for-threat-detection-dfir/\n\nHere’s an agent for libpcap https://github.com/lacework/pcap\n\nIt does not have an intrusion prevention (IPS) functionality. False positives on an IPS could block network/host access and negatively affect the system being protected, so it’s a harder problem.\n\nCloud based network isolation tools like Aviatrix might make IPS scenarios feasible by limiting the effect of an IPS.",

"It’s time to check in on our friends from the South. Surely, the SEC hasn’t been dominating your news feeds or been fawned over by ESPN enough this offseason, right? So, I thought it fitting to put together a little something to give some much needed love and attention to the most underappreciated conference in the land. The following is a completely original and 100 percent accurate representation of the very best that our beloved sport has to offer.\n\n(Play to the tune of “Over There”)\n\nIf it ain’t an SEC game/We just don’t care.\n\nTo play more against giants/Would simply be insane\n\nCause we don’t leave here/To go over there\n\nThan it does to you/Suckers way out west\n\nAre words that we simply do not need to hear\n\nAnd we’ll only play you suckers/In our southern Dixie lair!\n\nThe college football (CFB) media cartel, ESPN, has released its 2019 Football Power Index (FPI) rankings. That the owner of the SEC Network projects that 10 SEC teams will finish in CFB’s top 20 is about about as bold as predicting that you will see snow on Mount Hood. The World Wide Leader wants you to know that the SEC West is the toughest division in CFB, followed closely by the SEC East. As southern man Gomer Pyle used to say … surprise, surprise!\n\nNothing to see here, folks. Move right along.\n\nThe all-knowing FPI has the Ducks’ inaugural 2019 opponent, Auburn — which was last seen turning Purdue into Pur-don’t –, ranked ninth. I note that in addition to a newbie at QB, the Tigers bring back Gus Malzahn, who, according to many the Auburn fans, should be on the endangered species list. Oregon, which features a first-round NFL draft prospect at QB, comes in at number 10.",
null,
"The big opener in 2019, as Duck fans well know, is being played in Dixie. The Advocare Classic will take place in Arlington, a city that happens to be far closer to Auburn’s campus than Oregon’s. Who’d have guessed? But this location is a pimple on a pachyderm’s posterior compared to the Ducks’ season opener in 2022 season, when they’ll go up against Georgia in Atlanta for another “neutral site” game.\n\nIn my humble opinion, scheduling like this is worthy of but two words: “sense” and “less.”\n\nThe last Pac-12 team that tripped to the the Playoff, the Hucking Fuskies, made it by playing in the Black Hole of CFB, Rutgers, New Jersey, where Soprano Family victims and CFB wins go to die. The team up north then swallowed two bear-claw-sized cupcakes. All good with the strength-of-schedule-challenged College Football Playoff committee.\n\nAnd let’s not forget how the Ducks have been treated by SEC teams sans Tennessee as of late. Texas A(in’t) & M(eeting) you in Eugene gave the Ducks the same treatment as do many the Texan firing from behind a duck blind. Enter Portland State.\n\nBut based upon the fact that the committee has yet to send a two-loss team to the “Roy Kramer Invitational,” would the Aggies’ slight have been so detrimental if Oregon had pulled victory from the jaws of defeat against Stanford, or showed up and balled out at Wazzu, Arizona and Utah, and won the Pac-12 Conference with just a single loss?",
null,
"If things went differently, the Ducks’ weak schedule could have been an asset.\n\nUndefeated Alabama, Clemson and Notre Dame were all 2018 playoff locks. But would Oregon, if it had gone 12-1 with a win over UCLA, as did Oklahoma, a team that’s best OOC win turned out to be an OT defeat of Army, have had an argument? Heck yes! I realize that this is a complete hypothetical. I realize the Pac-12 conference is way down. But I again note that this committee to date has parsed nothing, including strength of schedule, beyond wins and losses when deciding the CFP teams.\n\nSo should the Ducks be putting it all on Pass Line in the opening game? Is the game worth the candle? Because even if the Ducks win in Arlington this year and win in Atlanta in 2022, unlike its SEC foes, they still must navigate nine conference games and a conference championship game.\n\nAt the very least, shouldn’t Oregon, as the above mentioned A&M is doing by playing Texas State at home before tripping to Clemson, get a game under its belt by opening at home against Nevada?\n\nIf you aren’t willing to fly into Eugene, then the Ducks should not be flying into your den. But I guess that’s just wishful thinking in a sport that’s driven by the talking heads south of the Mason Dixon Line."

"Overwatch 2 is now in the middle of its first season. The team shooter weathered a tough start and is now settling into a good rhythm. Many players are heading to the highest tier of the battle pass.\n\nNew evidence points to an underwater map being added for Season 2.\n\nFans are also looking forward to the next season of Overwatch as a new character will be introduced. Blizzard is also adding a new map for Overwatch Season 2.\n\nDetails of the new map have yet to be released, but a player may have found it referenced in-game. These signs can be easily seen if you know where to look.\n\nWhen you visit the train route signs in Midtown and Esperanca, there is a destination called “Atlantic Arcology”. The destination is not part of any previous Overwatch lore, and many curious players are wondering what it is. This was first reported by Twitter user @owgwadael and later shared on Reddit by user SonOfGarry.\n\nCan we talk about this “Atlantic Arcology” which is mentioned on departures from Midtown (Hyperloop) & Esperança (Hyper-Rail) stations on #Overwatch2 ? A thread ⬇️(1/6) pic.twitter.com/Fcl8MtsMZ4\n\nPlayers assumed it was the new map for Team Shooter Season 2. Speculation is that this area will be underwater just off the coast of Portugal in the Azores region. The Azores are a group of nine volcanic islands and are a popular tourist destination.\n\nThe assumption is based on the travel time displayed on the Esperanca train route board. Midtown, which is on the other side of the Atlantic, has a journey time of around ten hours depending on the train route. Atlantic Arcology is only an hour and a half away.\n\nPlayers assume that this new map will be an underwater dome structure in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. There is mention of the old Galapagos checkpoint map back when Overwatch was called Project Titan. The Galapagos map is inside a domed structure and is underwater.\n\nPlayers suspect Overwatch developers of reusing the Galapagos map that never made it into the final game. Or at least take inspiration from this map when building the Atlantic Arcology.\n\nThis however is pure speculation and should be taken with a grain of salt. What we do know for sure is that the new map will tie into the Tank Hero that will debut in Season 2.\n\nAccording to the leaks, the new hero will be called Mauga. The character has been part of Overwatch lore for quite some time now, appearing in short stories and comics. Mauga is connected to support hero Baptise.\n\nThe new card can be King of the Hill. Art Director Dion Rogers mentioned that a KOTH-like map would be coming sooner and could be tied to Mauga.\n\nWe won’t know for sure what the new map is at this point as we’re still weeks away from Season 2. The new season will start on December 6, 2022, if the roadmap hasn’t changed.\n\nNext How Chinese property developers got into such a mess",

"So much has happened in the past two weeks I’m not sure exactly where to begin! Last week my husband left work early because of a kidney stone. I ended up taking him to the emergency room when it did not pass and he could no longer endure the pain. My sweet friend Mrs. Cuddle-me stayed with the kids so I could stay with my husband. After a few hours they sent us home with pain meds and we hoped the stone would pass on its own. The stubborn stone never did pass. I wanted to cancel my trip to the convention in Cincinnati but my husband refused to let me stay. He insisted I go and have fun. So on Thursday morning Mrs. Cuddle-me and I hit the road. He stayed home with four kids and a troublesome kidney stone. My friends Mama Quilts and Makrothumia remained on stand-by in case he needed help. He never called anyone…\n\nMrs. Cuddle-me drove the entire trip. She chauffeured me around like I was a princess. We’re a great match for trips: she likes to drive and I prefer the passenger seat. Early on in the trip her vehicle started to act up. She shut off the cruise and it drove fine the rest of the trip but the “check engine ” light would pop on every now and then. I thought maybe we should turn around but she wasn’t concerned at all. I realized at that moment my friend was far braver than I. Our next mishap occurred in Verona when the keys were inadvertently locked in the vehicle. I won’t say who was responsible but\n\nI wasn’t in the driver’s seat. I also made her show me the keys every time we got out of the vehicle. Verona doesn’t have any Pop-a-locks so we had to wait for the Boone county police to break into our ride. Thankfully, we didn’t have to wait long and we were back on the road.\n\nBefore heading to Cincinnati we checked in with the Sisters in Erlanger. We were blessed to stay in their guest room for our convention trip. I stayed in that very room several years ago (16 years ago!!!) hoping to be accepted into the community. Stepping into the room and remembering my younger self…was disconcerting. One of those past meeting the future\n\nkind of moments. I was heart-broken the first time I stayed in the monastery guest room. I gave up my deepest dreams in that room and accepted God’s urging to religious life. All I have ever wanted was to be a wife and mother…nothing else. I laid those dreams down in that room, sacrificed my heart and embraced God’s will. Now my dreams are reality…I am a wife and mother to four beautiful children. I am beautifully blessed…maybe God blessed me with my heart’s desire because I chose to obey Him. I’m not sure why I am so blessed but I am truly grateful. Anyway, I had a moment there…\n\nAfter checking in with Mother we headed to the convention in Cincinnati at the Duke Energy Center. We arrived before the vendor hall opened and went to a conference by Martin Cothran on Classical education and the importance of Logic. Oldest begins pre-logic this year so I took plenty of notes and am looking forward to learning along side him. Mr. Cothran is a very good speaker and I recommend stopping to listen to him if you ever get the chance.\n\nWe then made our way to the vendor hall…so huge!!! I made my way over to the Christian Light Education booth and made my order with them. I finally decided to switch from MathUSee (or MathUDon’tSee as my husband says) to CLE math. They helped me figure out where to place my crew (one year behind!!) and we will get started in math once the Light Units arrive. I also spoke to the developer of the Spelling You See curriculum and decided to go with their program after reviewing several spelling curriculums. Even though looking at all of the books in the vendor hall is fun the real treat is speaking with all of the people who put their heart into developing and writing the various curriculums. Later this week I will post about my favorite five booths and\n\nshare my tips on attending a homeschool convention. I made most of my purchases on Thursday night. That evening I met Kris at the Geography Matters booth (she hosts the weekly wrap-up) and got to tell her just how much she means to me even though we had never physically met until that very moment. My first year of homeschooling was so very lonely and every time I had a concern about my homeschool I would turn to her blog (and Hodgepodge Mom’s blog) for help and guidance. They were my mentors and it meant a lot to me to be able to tell her in person and thank her for her ministry to those of us just starting on this homeschool journey. I really wanted a picture with her but I was too shy to ask.",

"On Friday I met Susan Wise Bauer. I was a bit star-struck and forgot to ask how to go through Writing With Ease at half-pace. The writing curriculum is supposed to be for fifth graders but is now considered a little too hard for most fifth graders and they recommend tackling it at half speed or waiting until sixth grade. So I’ll have to figure that out now but it was cool to meet her…not that she’ll remember. That night we ate at Cracker Barrel and found a mug that said “I see the Screw-up Fairy has visited again”! Mrs. Cuddle-me and I decided that was the theme of our trip. Several things went wrong (too many to mention!!!!) but we mostly kept our humor and everything did work out just fine. She witnessed me at my very worst when I flipped out because my husband needed some medicine and the doctor’s office didn’t come through for him. She helped solve the problem and sent her husband on a mission of mercy for my husband. After witnessing me break down she declared there was nothing scary about me at all. After this trip I decided she was the sister I never had but always wanted!!!\n\nWe left the convention early on Saturday and went to a hibachi and sushi restaurant for dinner. At first we were going to go to a restaurant called Chipotles but my husband recommended against it. We also discovered that Siri could not pronounce “chipotle” (try it out if you have an iPhone!). I had never been to a hibachi restaurant and had no idea what to expect. I quickly texted my husband to ask what to order and he gave his advice. He was excited for me to experience something new and completely out of my comfort zone. He joked that any meal that didn’t come with toys was a bit out of my element!\n\nSunday morning we visited with the Sisters before heading home. Despite the terrible storms we made it home safely. Littlest was so mad at me that he hugged Mrs. Cuddle-\n\nme first!!! The kids and I took my husband to the hospital Monday morning and thankfully he was able to have surgery the same day for the kidney stone. Later, Mrs. Cuddle-me stayed with my crew again so I could be with my husband as he recovered from surgery. I am so blessed to call her “friend”!! Without her the kids would have had a long night in the ER and a very long day at the hospital.",

"The kids started swimming lessons this week. Middle Boy is making great progress in overcoming his fear of being in the water and actually swam this week!!! I am very proud of him and thankful the head coach of the swim team is spending so much time teaching my crew to swim…of course it helps that everyone else is still attending government school during lessons. I worked getting everything back to normal for my crew this week and next week we will dive back into our school work.\n\nLinking up with: Weird, Unsocialized Homeschoolers",

"Is It Safe to go to the Gym and Workout During Covid-19?",
null,
null,
"Although none of the participants caught COVID-19 from their gym, and all of them had a much lower risk of becoming infected than the average population, this may not necessarily mean it is safe to return to your gym just yet.\n\nSo What Are Gyms like the Ones Covered in the Study Doing to Ensure It's Safe to Workout?\n\nMany restrictions from this Covid-19 pandemic remain in place. Social distancing, wearing masks, limitations on numbers in confined spaces… so the question remains: Is it safe to return to the gym just yet?\n\nOn the one hand, many people want to reopen certain areas.\n\nOn the other hand, many people feel reopening at this time would be dangerous.\n\nA recent study conducted by scientists at the University of Oslo offers some direction on what would happen if we were to open gyms.\n\nThe Oslo authors open their study by sharing a fact that has been largely ignored as businesses have shut down during the pandemic: There are negative consequences to closing everything.\n\nClosing gyms, parks, and recreation centers significantly limit the capacity for us to remain active, which research shows not boost our immune systems against viral infections like COVID-19, but also reduces the risk of many other diseases brought upon by a sedentary lifestyle.\n\nLockdowns have increased childhood obesity, a condition likely to become more of a problem as poor exercise and diet habits learned during lockdowns persist through a child’s development in the months and years to come.\n\nMany people have difficulty maintaining a healthy lifestyle during the best of conditions. For many, lockdowns reinforce an inactive lifestyle, which will have a negative impact on our health over time.\n\nA particularly troubling side effect of COVID-19 shutdowns is the delays or postponements of preventative checkups and emergency medical treatments.\n\nA recent study conducted by scientists from the European Society of Cardiology shows that about half of the people who have suffered heart attacks during lockdowns have avoided going to the hospital due to fear of catching COVID-19.\n\nWhat Conclusions Can Be Made From the Gym Research?\n\nAdditional research shows that new cases of cancer are not being diagnosed, almost half of chemotherapy patients have missed treatments, and organ transplants have declined 50% since the lockdowns went into effect.\n\nIt is universally agreed that steps should be taken to protect the most vulnerable from the virus (the elderly and those with debilitating conditions). However, should the rest of us live under the same restrictions?\n\nThat question brings us back to the Oslo study, where the researchers wanted to learn whether reopening gyms would increase the risk of catching or spreading COVID-19.\n\nThen, the researchers split them evenly into two groups:\n\nA gym group, which could go back to the gym and follow their desired workout programs.\n\nA lockdown group, which stayed home and did not return to the gym.\n\nFor two weeks, the gym group was given access to five gyms in Oslo, and the lockdown group stayed home.\n\nParticipants in both groups were tested for COVID-19 before and after the study, which began the last week of May and lasted until the second week of June.\n\nThe researchers only recruited people who were considered to have an exceptionally low risk of developing COVID-19 symptoms, in order to avoid bias using participants with pre-existing conditions. This study used normal, average gym members without medical conditions that would skew results.\n\nFive gyms were involved in the study and were only open to the study participants and implemented strict hygiene procedures, such as avoiding handshakes, maintaining at least six feet of distance when working out on weights or machines, and maintaining at least twelve feet when doing high-intensity cardio or fitness classes, and disinfecting all equipment after each use. Further, the participants were not required to wear masks in the gym.\n\nAlthough the researchers recruited nearly 4,000 people for the study, only about 3,000 took the before-and-after Covid-19 tests and stayed on as participants throughout the duration of the study.\n\nBased on the average infection rate among the population of Oslo, the researchers predicted that about 1% of the participants would contract COVID-19. This would equal about 30 participants.\n\nSo What Does That Low of a COVID-19 Infection Mean About Working Out At Gym?\n\nIn other words, not only did no one in this study get COVID-19 from going to the gym, but the risk of infection was significantly lower than for the average population of Oslo. As the researchers concluded, when gym-goers were “provided good hygiene and social distancing measures, there was no increased COVID-19 spread at training facilities.”\n\nBased on this study, it’s fair to say that your risk of getting COVID-19 from going to the gym is surprisingly low.\n\nElderly people who are in good health—the kind most likely to go to the gym—have a much lower risk of dying from COVID-19 than their infirm counterparts.\n\nAs the study on Oslo gym members shows, reopening gyms is probably not going to increase the spread of the virus. When you consider the many proven benefits of exercise, it would almost certainly be a net gain for individuals and for society.\n\nSome people were quick to poke holes in the Oslo study, downplay its findings, and magnify its limitations.\n\nFor example, shortly after it was published, Slate ran an article titled “That One Study Does Not Mean It’s Safe to Go to the Gym.”\n\nIn the article, the author quotes several statisticians, doctors, and other experts who raise some valid concerns about the results, which have also been repeated elsewhere.\n\nThe main criticisms of the study are as follows:\n\nYou cannot generalize the results to other groups of people.\n\nSome people have claimed that because all the participants were former gym members, and likely healthier than the average person, we can’t apply the results to other groups of people.\n\nHowever, not only did this study find it was not dangerous for healthy people to return to the gym, it showed their risk of spreading the disease to others was essentially zero.\n\nThe study authors never said their results prove all businesses should reopen.\n\nWhile this is only one study, the results indicate that it may very well be safe to go back to the gym.\n\nIronically, Nicole Carnegie, one of the doctors interviewed for the Slate article, admits that the people who are most likely to go back to the gym are probably at a much lower risk of getting COVID-19 than the average person, which contradicts the refuting article and supports the original study.\n\n“People who want to go back to their gym or at least have a gym membership are probably a bit healthier or lower risk than the general population,” she said.\n\nThe overall rate of COVID-19 in Norway is low compared to most other countries, so we should not necessarily apply the results to other geographic areas.\n\nHowever as shown in this study, someone who went back to the gym was just as safe as those someone else who stayed home.\n\nOne valid criticism of this study is that it is still going through the process of being officially published, thus hasn’t been peer-reviewed yet. Given that it is currently the only study of its kind, though, I feel this study is worth giving the results some measure of validity.\n\nTo date, this is the only study that has specifically looked at the risk of reopening gyms, and the results are clear: assuming you’re a healthy person under the age of 65, it is probably safe to go back to the gym.\n\nAlthough we seem to be past the worst of the COVID-19 pandemic and some gyms have reopened, many people are worried that going back is still too risky.\n\nSince March, the media has been attacking people with articles, podcasts, and videos claiming that lockdowns save lives, that reopening poses an imminent threat to society, and that your risk of catching COVID-19 from the gym is still high.\n\nAccording to this carefully designed study conducted by scientists at the University of Oslo, though, that is not true. None of the people who went back contracted COVID-19 from the gym, and their risk of catching the virus was significantly lower than the rest of the population.\n\nAccording to this study, and the body of evidence we have so far, if you’re under the age of 65, in good health, and not overweight, and you follow common-sense measures like social distancing and disinfecting your workout equipment, the answer is a resounding yes."

"Dmytro Vynohradets has won an incredible seven gold medals at the 2014 IPC Swimming European Championships in Eindhoven, the Netherlands.\n\nⒸKees-Jan van Overbeeke\nBy Abdullah Mahmood for the IPC\n\nWhen Ukraine topped the table at the 2013 IPC World Swimming Championships in Montreal with 84 medals, S3 swimmer Dmytro Vynohradets was one of the leading lights with seven golds.\n\nAdding to the four he won in 2010 and two in 2006 Vynohradets dominated the pool, leaving observers in little doubt about who one of the major forces in para-swimming is.\n\nHowever when asked if his team can be expected to match their results from two years ago when they arrive at the Tollcross International Swimming Centre for the 2015 IPC Swimming World Championships in Glasgow, Great Britain, the 30 year old simply states: “We will do our best”.\n\nAfter failing to win Paralympic gold at London 2012, Vynohradets has been the dominant swimmer in his category not only taking seven world titles in Montreal, Canada, in 2013 but adding seven European gold medals to his collection at the Euros in Eindhoven, the Netherlands, in 2014.\n\nOne of the running stories throughout both Championships was the efforts of rival S3 swimmer Spain’s Miguel Ángel Martínez to catch the impressive Ukrainian. However despite his best attempts his nine silver medals in Montreal and Eindhoven just highlighted the ability of Vynohradets.\n\nYet Vynohradets will not have it all his own way with Russia’s Andrey Meshcheryakov and China’s Li Hanhua both among the leading swimmers in his category for 2015.\n\nVynohradets is aware that he can expect a tough time in Glasgow noting: “A lot of competitors didn’t perform at the official Championships and there are a lot of new young talented athletes who can show good results.”\n\nAs a result the 13-time world champion’s aims for Glasgow are simply to “perform well at all events” with the help of a new training series while also acknowledging that with the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games just over a year away, the performances in Tollcross have an added significance.\n\nTickets for the 2015 IPC Swimming World Championships, featuring over 580 swimmers from nearly 70 countries, are still available.\n\nHeats and finals from each day will be shown live at the Glasgow 2015 website.\n\nSwimming\nMereshko has Simmonds in her sights at Glasgow 2015\nImagen",

"Greyhounds, monkey jockeys, football riots, dance floor brawls, political rallies, mass executions and denunciations – the theater at Shanghai Cultural Square has a lot of catching up to do if it is to eclipse the history of the old Canidrome.\n\nLocated on Rue Lafayette (now Fuxing Zhong Lu) it occupied a large portion of the block formed by what are today Jianguo Lu, Shaanxi Lu, Fuxing Lu and Maoming Lu in the former French Concession.",
null,
"The original 50,000 spectator stadium structure was built in 1928 for the purpose of dog racing, largely financed by Henry E. Morris, Jr., proprietor of the North-China Daily News, who had a large mansion close by and, along with his two brothers, would walk his dogs over to the Canidrome for race meets.\n\nThe location was also due to legal reasons, as explained in Graham Earnshaw’s Tales of Old Shanghai:\n\n‘Going to the dogs’ is literally a favourite diversion of Shanghailanders. Dog racing is not allowed in the International Settlement, and the importation of greyhounds has been prohibited by the Chinese Government, but the sport flourishes at the Canidrome in the French Concession, where greyhounds are bred, and, like pony racing, offers ample opportunity to those who would woo fickle fortune. By various combinations, big winnings, or big losings, are possible.\n\nAs the years progressed, the venue became a multi-purpose entertainment venue. Interport rugby games between Shanghai and Hong Kong were held there (read a history of Shanghai rugby here), as was the Basque game jai alai (or hai-alai, as it was referred to in Old Shanghai).\n\n\"Hai-alai has many followers and is as good a way to lose your shirt as we know of,” write Maurine Karns and Pat Patterson in their 1936 Shanghai: High Lights, Low Lights and Tael Lights. \"You can lay a bet here just as easily as you could get converted at the Methodist Mission. Hai-alai is an old Basque game, and the town is filled with Basquards who have been imported to lend the local game an authentic touch.”\n\nSoccer matches were also staged there. On March 15, 1941 a game between the Shanghai Municipal Police and a Chinese team turned into a riot, causing 20,000 Chinese spectators to flood the field and numerous injuries reported.\n\nAround the same time quite a curious practice was introduced to dog race meets, as author Paul French explains on his blog ChinaRhyming:\n\nIn 1940-1941 business at the Shanghai Canidrome in Frenchtown was down. Of course it was the war and navigating the streets with unfriendly Japanese around wasn’t much fun, while plenty of foreigners and high rolling Chinese had gotten out of town. There were also a rash of new casinos in Frenchtown and the adjacent Badlands in the Western Roads Area to attract gamblers. Dogs chasing round a track after a hare wasn’t going to do it.\n\nAnd so… monkey jockeys. Which genius actually came up with the idea I have no idea but once word got round town that the Canidrome was having monkey jockeys the crowds flocked back, at least until the novelty wore of. I don’t know where the monkeys came from or whether they were good jockeys, but they certainly looked pretty snazzy in their wicked little jockey caps.”",
null,
"French also found this advertising flier for a boxing bout at the Canidrome in June 1937 featuring Andre Shelaeff, a Shanghai-born White Russian welterweight who was based in Harbin, where his father was a Russian priest.",
null,
"Shelaeff fought at the Canidrome several times in 1937, regularly KOing opponents. He left China to pursue his career, but died the next year of brain concussion after a fight with Massachusetts boxer George Salvador aged just 19 (read French's history of Asia's inter-war boxing right here).\n\nFrench has also written about The Canidrome Tower Gang, led by soft-spoken Mexican Carlos Garcia, \"the closest to a cappo di tutti capi (‘boss of all bosses’) the foreign gangs of Shanghai ever had.\n\n\"He was effectively the big boss, and adjudicated disagreements between the city’s foreign gangs in the hope of averting internecine fights – and he was mostly successful. A total legend.\"\n\nThe Canidrome also played host to a ‘China Bowl’ game of American football in 1945, in which the Navy beat the Army 12-0.\n\n“It was strictly G.I.: 10,000 uniformed Americans jammed Shanghai's Canidrome,” reported Time, who go on to tell us that, “Plans for defense and kick-off drill on the day before the game were frustrated when the players arrived to practice on the Shanghai race course. The reason: the city government was shooting six criminals on the field.”\n\nYou can read about the China Bowl in detail right here.",
null,
null,
"The Canidrome ballroom was also extremely popular. African-American jazz pianist Teddy Weatherford played there in the mid-‘30s, as did his countryman jazz trumpeter Buck Clayton, who performed with his Harlem Gentlemen.\n\nClayton's experience in the east was unique; as a black man he was discriminated against by fellow American marines who were stationed in Shanghai (there are accounts of him being attacked by soldiers, including an instance where bricks were thrown at him), while as an American he was treated like an elite by the Chinese.\n\nClayton performed for Chiang Kai-shek's wife, Soong Mei-ling, and her sister Ai-ling, who were regulars at the Canidrome, and also worked closely with Li Jinhui, the “Father of Chinese popular music.” Clayton would play a number of songs that were composed by Li, while Li learned a great deal from the American jazz influence brought over by Clayton.",
null,
"Buck Clayton and his Harlem Gentlemen\n\nClayton tenure at the Canidrome ballroom came to an end after a fight one night with colorful Old Shanghai character Jack Riley (who was to become “the slot machine king of Shanghai”), as reported in a newspaper at the time:\n\nThe place is the Canidrome. The time is 11pm Tuesday. Mr. Jack Riley, ex-American sailor, who at one time was No. 1 at Riley's Bamboo Hut, now transformed into the Venus, and who a year ago sold his Manhattan Bar, famous gathering spot for the Asiatic Fleet, is sitting at a table with two girls.\n\nSome say Riley did not like Clayton's smile, others that Clayton asked Riley to tone down. Anyway blows were struck and Buck Clayton fell. Silence for a minute, then members of the band made for Mr. Riley.\n\nThe spotlight switches to the dance floor. Riley is eagle-spread and reports indicate that one of the band members sat on his chest and proceeded to pummel him. There was no panic because the very few guests that were there did not know whether it was part of the floor show or not.\n\nThe curtain came down on this scene all too quickly, the battle being halted before it became serious. Casualties reported: Riley, slightly swollen face, plenty of body bruises; Clayton, a black eye; other musicians minor bruises...\n\nBuck's contract with the Canidrome was terminated because of the incident, and he returned to the states before the outbreak of the Second Sino-Japanese War in 1937.",
null,
"After 1949, greyhound racing, like other forms of gambling, was banned by the Communist party, and the precinct's name was changed to the Shanghai Cultural Square. It became a place for political rallies, and Mao himself would take to the stage there to address crowds numbering in the thousands.\n\nThe Canidrome was also used as a mass execution facility. Executions were selected by a committee of 24 Communist-appointed civic leaders – in April 1951 more than 3,000 people were arrested and herded to the stadium, including former-Green Gang leader “Pockmarked” Huang Jinrong, while on May 1 alone some 500 executions were announced.",
null,
"The Xinhua News Agency reported that Shanghai high-school students marched beside the prisoners on their way to execution beating gongs and drums and chanting “Kill nice! Kill them well! Kill all of them!”\n\n“10,000 people gathered and (as the Shanghai News reported it) demanded the death of the accused in ‘a unanimous roar.’” reported Time.\n\nDuring the Cultural Revolution, the Cultural Square also became a venue for struggle sessions, where Red Guards denounced class enemies, intellectuals and figures of authority.\n\nAfter the end of the Cultural Revolution, the Cultural Square served a number of purposes. Its auditorium was used as performance space for films and theatre, and it was also used as a conference venue, often housing political conferences and meetings.\n\nThe Shanghai Stock Market was based there for a short time when it reopened in 1990, and then in 1997 the area became the location of the Shanghai Flower Market.\n\nIn 2003, a series of international design competitions were held, and a plan was adopted to rebuild the precinct as a park. The original grandstand, along with most of the other structures in were demolished in 2005, and in their place was built the RMB1.1 billion, 2,011 capacity, 65,000 square meter, theater that resembles a giant white horseshoe crab.",

"I’m a big fan of idioms and a big fan of dogs. So this month’s photos of the month is based on one of my favorite idioms: the dog days of summer. If you live anywhere in the northern hemisphere, you may be experiencing these dog days right now, thanks to the climate crisis, waiting for the sweet relief of fall’s cooler weather.\n\nI’ve always associated the saying “dog days of summer” with panting canines (beagles specifically, in my family’s case) laying in the hot sun during the warmest, most humid months of the year. As it turns out, the saying’s origin is rooted in mythology and early astronomy.\n\nAs this National Geographic article explains so succinctly, the phrase refers to one dog specifically - the constellation Canis Major - which contains the star Sirius, the brightest star we can see from the Earth. Ancient Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans believed that the appearance of Sirius in the dawn sky, along with the Sun, in July every year caused the warmer weather. Geminus of Rhodes, a Greek astronomer, had an even more specific hypothesis, stating, “It is generally believed that Sirius produces the heat of the dog days; but this is an error, for the star merely marks a season of the year when the sun’s heat is the greatest.”\n\nToday, we know that Geminus was on the right track. The months of July and August in the northern hemisphere are typically the hottest, not because of the star Sirius, but because of the Earth’s tilt. When the Northern Hemisphere faces the sun, we have more direct light, days are longer, and as a result, hotter.\n\nPhew! Now that we’ve got that figured out, let’s celebrate collectively understanding this great dog idiom by looking at some pictures of dogs from the Emilio Segrè Visual Archives.",

"Here we see the dashing 1922 physics faculty of Caltech. A small, albeit distracted, collie sits at the feet of Robert Millikan and Hendrik Lorentz. I have a hunch that this dog was a regular at Caltech’s Norman Bridge Laboratory of Physics - they’re included in a number of shots, including one titled “The Lorentz Lectures,” and staff portraits from the years of 1922, 1923, and 1924. The Lab’s first secretary, Eleanor Bedell Burt, who you can see in this picture, discussed this mysterious dog in her 1978 oral history: “The beautiful collie dog in the front belonged to Bob Burt, my future husband. [The dog’s] name was Buddy.”",

"Edson Wolcott sits with his two poodles in front of his ion-concentrator.

Read more in his 1988 oral history interview. Like Page, I grew up spending a lot of quality time with dogs as a child, as seen here in some shots of yours truly over the years."

"Apple facing huge bill for back taxes in EU probe\n\nApple’s deal with Ireland to lower its overseas tax bill was sweet — so sweet it amounts to little more than a handout from the government, according to European antitrust officials.\n\nThe European Commission claims the tax treatment granted to Apple is so favorable that it “constitutes state aid,” according to its preliminary tax-probe findings released Tuesday.\n\nAs far back as 1991, Ireland’s tax agreements with Apple were not based on “the arm’s length price of a specific transaction,” the EC wrote in a letter posted on its web site.\n\nThe letter, titled “Alleged aid to Apple,” could lead to the tech giant forking over billions in back taxes.\n\nApple and Ireland have one month to respond to the report.\n\nThe European Union first announced the tax probe in June as part of a crackdown on multinational corporations exploiting tax loopholes.\n\nThe EC, the antitrust division for the 28-member block that makes up the European Union, is also looking at tax schemes by Fiat in Luxembourg and Starbucks in the Netherlands.\n\n“The main question in the present case is whether the rulings confer a selective advantage upon Apple in so far as it results in a lowering of its tax liability in Ireland,” the EC wrote.\n\nAnd the answer, at least based on the harshly critical tone of the letter, appears to be yes.\n\n“The Commission’s preliminary view is that the tax [regime] … in favour of the Apple group constitute state aid,” the letter said.\n\nThe EC makes certain exceptions for state aid, including projects of “common European interest,” or “to remedy a serious disturbance in the economy,” but Ireland’s dealings with Ireland didn’t fall under them, the letter said.\n\nInstead, Ireland seemed to be giving aid to a company that was larger than any other in the country, even though it was based in the US, the letter said. Apple recorded $171 billion in sales in 2013.\n\nTo level the playing field, the EU forbids governments from helping individual companies.\n\nApple insists it did not get special treatment from the notoriously tax-friendly nation.\n\n“We’re subject to the same tax laws as the countless other companies who do business in Ireland,” the company said in a statement. “Apple has received no selective treatment from Irish officials over the years.”\n\nBut the documents purportedly show that Ireland negotiated a tax deal directly with Apple.\n\nIreland made clear to Apple that it just wanted to ensure Irish tax profits of between $30 million and $40 million, the EC said.\n\nGoldman has a long, cozy history with New York Fed\n\nGoldman has a long, cozy history with New York Fed",

"The Take Down Of Temasek\n\nSinestro (Mark Strong) told Hal Jordan (Ryan Reynolds) in Martin Campbell 's Green Lantern, \"The Corp is only as strong as its weakest link.\" The Sunday Times reported that a man who has been linked to the Temasek Review sociopolitical website was arrested last month for offences under the Parliamentary Elections Act. Dr Ong's alleged transgression was conducting an exit poll during the general election on May 7.\n\nLittle is known about the regulation about an exit poll. More people are familiar with the Cooling Off Day ruling that was breached by the Kate Spade MP from Marine Parade GRC and her mysterious administrator friend. Latter was supposedly given a police warning but, unlike the accused doctor, her picture was never published in the mainstream media.\n\nAustralian company UMR Research also conducted a pre-election poll between May 3 and May 5. The survey findings were published by news wire agencies such as Associated Press, Reuters and Deutsche Presse-Agentur before the polling stations in Singapore closed at 8pm on May 7. UMR spokesperson David Utting claimed that it did not run afoul of the Singapore laws, \"UMR has not 'published or caused to be published' this opinion poll in Singapore...it was released in Germany. AP published it.\" AP, Reuters and Deutsche Presse-Agentur apparently have not been invited for coffee by the police to help in their investigations.\n\nProfessor Ang Peng Hwa, director of the Singapore Internet Research Centre at the Nanyang Technological University, said that the law was \"very broad\". Political risk consultant Azhar Ghani noted that the issue does not lie in whether the poll was done by an overseas company but on the law which is \"silent\" on where the publication of survey results could take place: While election advertising regulations specifically mention the Internet, the law on election surveys does not, Mr Azhar noted.\n\nLike the police investigation of Tin Pei Ling, we will probably never get to the bottom of the story. Especially since PM Lee appointed her as a member of the Home Affairs and Law Government Parliamentary Committee (GPC) while the investigations were still in progress. Frankly, most of us don't give a damn - she will serve as a constant reminder of the the tumour in the system. What pricks our curiousity is whether the doctor's troubles have anything to do with the take down of Temasek Review. The scant information available is that the site is located overseas.",

"Locusts.. and wild honey is a slash 131-page Star Trek: TOS anthology. It was published in the UK.\n\nThe art is by Ann Humphrey and Caryl Sibbett.\n\nSee reactions and reviews for Last Night is the Night.\n\nSee reactions and reviews for Which Came First?.\n\nSee reactions and reviews for For Spock.\n\nSee reactions and reviews for To Cease Upon the Midnight.\n\nSee reactions and reviews for Never the Twain.\n\nSee reactions and reviews for The Test.\n\n[zine]: From the editor of THE VOICE, comes 132 pages of poetry, vignettes and stories. In each prose selection, Kirk and Spock are strong, well-defined and recognizable characters who deal both with personal problems and those of the Federation. There are neither mirror universe nor slavery stories. The zine includes a mixture of relationships for Kirk & Spock: a first time, an only time, established, and \"never got that far\". In order of appearance: [see each story for her comments] [1]\n\nThis is a thought-provoking zine, dealing with the K/S relationship at various ages and stages from its first establishment, right through to what must surely be its finale.\n\nThe bulk of the zine consists of seven stories by four authors, and is augmented with five poems, a small amount of artwork, and two very funny sketches.\n\nOpening the stories, 'The Test' by Eva Stuart is also, chronologically the earliest, and is concerned with a youthful Kirk and Spock, both serving lieutenants on different ships; back at the Academy for final year Command Training tests. The most important of these tests is the Kobayashi Maru. There, as we all know from the film, Kirk altered the computer to allow a possible solution; and the story works up to this event, at the same time developing a theme of the rapidly established relationship between the two young men, who are sharing quarters. And it is rapid! I certainly blinked at least twice at Spock's forthright and swift declaration. This is a younger Spock, however. One who has not yet entrenched himself into our familiar, austere Vulcan. So we can accept his declaration. I found this earlier setting, an interesting one, Kirk and Spock really do sound, and act like younger versions of themselves, and I particularly liked the way we discover Kirk's character through Spock's growing awareness of it. I did find it a little hard though, to accept the ending, feeling, that Kirk's determination, and ingenuity as underlined by the Kobayashi episode, would somehow have blasted through all barriers to make the impossible happen again.\n\nEva Stuart's second story \"Tangled Skein' is at a much later stage in time, and opens with the idyllic prospect of a two months' shore leave for our Duo. Unfortunately for them, this is shattered by a middle of the night request from T'Pau now a member of the Federation Council - that they go to the distant planet, Gaia, to do some 'observing' for her. Gaia, a newly colonised planet, of mixed Human/Vulcan population, is at the end of its settlement programme, and is about to vote whether or not to join the Federation - hence T'Pau's interest. A scene in the Governor's Palace, where Kirk and Spock are staying, shows us that while most Gaians wish either to join the Federation or to have another interim period before deciding, there is a small faction that wants the planet to be completely independent, and whose leader has withdrawn into Dar-an-Sha, a state from which he will only emerge alive if the wishes of his sect are realised. An interesting side issue reveals the Governor to be Spock's cousin and former lover and the story develops to the accompaniment of Kirk's reaction to this. After a powerful double climax, the tension eases; the Gaians decide their future and there is a nice, relaxed ending with all doubts resolved, at the shore leave house where the story began. I enjoyed this story very much. There are some very attractive descriptive passages and a warmth and maturity between the lovers which we would hope to find at their stage of relationship.\n\nThe three short stories by Kate Daniels are what I think of as cerebral action stories, where almost all the action, apart from the obvious, takes place in the minds and verbal exchanges of the characters. As this is my favourite form of K/S, I read these stories with special interest.\n\n'Last Night Is the Night', the first of the three, takes place exactly seven years after Spock's first Pon Parr, and is concerned with the trauma and solution of his second. It is a satisfying story with some nice humorous dialogue. There is a lovely scene where both Kirk and Spock are in a state of extreme panic and an original theory about the true nature of Pon Farr which is different but credible.\n\nThe second story 'The Night Before' is just post-V'Ger and shows our heroes catching up with each other and with their relationship after the years of separation. Although the end is inevitable, maddeningly beckoning both them and us, they will neither of them take the easy route via bed, realising they must first resolve their problems; namely, Kirk's self-doubt and unwillingness to re-start a relationship unless it is going to continue. Like them then, we have to control ourselves until, at last, Spock decides enough soul-searching has taken place and the time has come for action!\n\n'For Spock' the last of the three is also the most complicated. Spock regrets the waste of all Kirk's 'potential'. He has the notion to seek out any possible child of Kirk's who may he in need of care and bring it up between then. As the story develops it becomes apparent that this desire is not as straightforward as it appears; both men are experiencing guilt feelings, imagining their relationship to be limiting the other's life. Each deals perceptively with the other's guilt and after much discussion and more soul-baring they come to the heart of the situation and the story is concluded in bed; where better? As in the second story, it is Spock who proves to be the more impatient, Kirk again doing most of the worrying. I liked these hints of role-reversal. It is very true that we got like those we live with.\n\nAll three stories make good reading. The easy, relaxed style creates just the right atmosphere and I enjoyed the humour, singling out the last line of 'Last Night Is The Night' as one of my three 'highlights of the zine.\n\nRunning at thirty seven pages, Ray Owen's 'Never The Twain' is the longest story in the zine. It begins with Kirk and Spock, now a long-married couple of twenty-three years standing, coming together again, after an absence of eleven months, to join a Federation team intent on persuading the Klingons to sign a Joint Peace Treaty. The leader of the Klingon faction is Kor, mellowed as the writer describes in a marvellous simile, into something like... \"An old compost heap...rich and murky, seething with pungent surprises\". The unlikely treaty is signed aftar some dubious and to me rather obvious double-dealing by Kirk; but our heroes' troubles are far from being over. In fact they are just beginning. To his horror, Kirk discovers he is expected to transport the seventeen members of
the Klingon team back to their homes and as this story has homosexuality as the Klingon
norm, regarding women as an insult, or an open invitation,\" we can sympathise with his dismay. Protecting his crewwomen from assault is not to be his only problem either. Halfway home, the Enterprise encounters a life-support capsule containing that other well known Klingon warrior Kang, now Kor's sworn enemy and his wife, Mara. The rest of the story deals with Kirk's attempt to keep Kang's presence secret from Kor, and the subsequent future when he fails. I was very impressed by the writing in \"Never The Twain'. It is strong and crisp with some very clever dialogue but if the author had not reminded us every so often that we are reading K/S, I would have forgotten! It is a little hard to believe that even after twenty-three years, marriage to Kirk would be quite so bland, or that physical need has reached so low an ebb as to allow long periods of separation. Read as straight Trek with a nice mental bond though, it is an excellent story.\n\nI found 'To Cease Upon the Midnight' by Vivienne Rivers a most chilling tale. At first sight deceptively simple, it becomes more complex with each subsequent reading. It is difficult to review without exposing too much of the plot and, anyway, I think each reader may have to come to his own conclusion. It did pose some unanswered questions for me. Wore Kirk and Spock supposed to have been bonded? If not, were they so close that a natural bond has grown between them? The first premise is not mentioned, and indeed, from Kirk's revelation that they were were never lovers, seems unlikely, so I am assuming the latter to account for the strength of the force disrupting Kirk. Set three months after Spock's death, the plot concerns Kirk's strange mental and emotional experiences which McCoy understandably attributes to grief. There is more to it than that though. Some force seems to he pulling Kirk away from life and there is nothing he can do about it (even supposing he wants to), except perhaps heed Spock's last words to him, \"Don't grieve, Admiral!\" Which Kirk now sees as a warning. If he is right, it must prove, as did Spock's sacrifice, that Spock is not intentionally, pulling Kirk towards him.. Yet it must surely be a useless warning, for how could Kirk possibly not grieve? There is no eagerly sought reunion then, but one to which Kirk is doomed; and the writer has him move through the story in a trance-like atmosphere which adds to the
chill. We are comforted little at the end, when Kirk regains peace, but my main
sympathies were for McCoy who fate has just kicked again. A powerful and disturbing
story.\n\nThe contrasting styles and plots of 'Locusts... and Wild Honey\" add up to a most satisfying read. I have mentioned one of my personal highlights. The other two have to be Eva Stuart's lovely poem 'The Gift'., and right at the end, perfectly placed as a finale, the tiny, brilliant sketch 'Vulcan Justice?' by Jan Burton. [2]"

"The Power Of Traveling Alone\n\nThe Power Of Traveling Alone\n\nTrust me, it's not as awkward as it seems.",
null,
"I know. It seems like a scary idea, I mean, who really wants to travel alone? It’s always uncomfortable asking for a table for one at a restaurant or navigating public transit alone— it’s really something you only do out of necessity, rather than personal preference. However, out of necessity, my last few trips have been alone, and here are 5 things I’ve learned:\n\n1. You can do (literally) whatever you want\n\nAre you the only friend in your group who likes Indian food? Perfect, this is your time to eat it every day. When traveling by yourself, you’re given the freedom to roam about and not conform to anyone else’s schedule. The last time I went to New York City, I tried several different vegan restaurants, saw musicals, and went museum hopping by myself—something I would never be able to do if traveling with friends because those aren’t our common interests.\n\n2. You develop a newfound sense of independence\n\nBefore beginning to travel by myself, I was the girl who had my sister ask the waitress for more ketchup when I needed some. I was painfully shy and often lived in my own shadow, so I could have never imagined walking alone down a street or asking the waiter for a table by myself. By traveling alone, I was put in a situation where I had to do anything and everything by myself. So yes, now I can ask for ketchup by myself at restaurants. (Hey, it’s the baby steps that count.)\n\n3. You learn how to talk to strangers\n\nI know, breaking your mom’s number one cardinal rule. But some rules are meant to be broken, right? When traveling alone, you’re forced to fearlessly ask locals for directions. It may seem scary or annoying at first, but slowly you learn that no one really cares and (most) everyone is happy to help.\n\n4. Navigating an unfamiliar city by yourself suddenly doesn’t seem so hard\n\nOK, yes. Maps are confusing, and public transit doesn’t make it any easier. However, once you get lost a few times, you begin to learn which subways lead where and which streets are connected to others. Admittedly, the first time taking the subway alone, I ended up in Harlem, but after some trial and error, you can navigate the city like a pro.\n\n5. You find comfort in being alone\n\nAs an introvert, this has always come naturally to me. However, I always felt slightly awkward exploring places alone or ordering at a restaurant. After one day in New York City alone, I realized that no one really cares—everyone has their own problems and tasks to complete—enough not to worry that you’re drinking iced coffee at Starbucks by yourself.\n\nSo trust me when I tell you—a trip by yourself is 100% worth it."

"Who doesn't love a comeback story? The Diplomats have been prepping theirs for over three years, but outside of 2010's \"Salute\" and a smattering of live shows, it seems like Cam'ron, Jim Jones, Juelz Santana and Freekey Zekey's comeback moment may have passed.\n\n\"It might've passed, it might not; I can't say. We do shows four, five, six times a year together. We get booked to all do shows, it's just that everybody all got their personal thing goin' on,\" Cam explained to MTV News on Wednesday of the Dips reunion and comeback album Diplomatic Immunity 3. \"Jim is doing clothing, El doing clothing, I'm doing movies and clothing. It's just that everybody's got to find that space. What we don't want to do is dilute it and make it seem like it's fake.\"\n\nThe Dips started a storied mixtape run starting with 2002's Diplomats Vol 1, and though they were a part of Jay Z's Roc-A-Fella roster they exuded a street energy all their own. By the time the quartet dropped their gold-selling Diplomatic Immunity album in 2003, the group was at their height and Juelz and Jim Jones were well on their way to building the type of solo careers that Cam was already enjoying. By 2007 infighting began to break the group apart.\n\n\"When we did Diplomats music it was all genuine and I think that's why people love it so much, because they seen a group of kids from Harlem that had almost nothing come up to be platinum-selling artists and people rode that wave with us,\" Killa said. \"So, that's the one thing that we don't want to do, is make it watered down or it's not genuine.\"\n\nOn October 1, Cam dropped Ghetto Heaven Vol. 1, a 19-track mixtape prepped to promote his upcoming \"1st of the Month\" film series. Cam says he's constantly in the studio working on new music, but as a group the Diplomats haven't put in the necessary studio time to record a cohesive body of work, and they aren't ready to short-change their legacy.\n\n\"Basically we'll get in the studio, then people get busy for two or three weeks and don't see each other and that turns into two or three months,\" he said. \"But we're all in a good space and everybody's friends with each other, we just got to find that time to see if we can make it happen, so I don't want to say yes or no to that.\""

"Swords whizzed past heads close enough to cut their opponents’ hair; dancers dropped from or rose to the sky like celestial beings dangling on a mere thread; acrobatic action scenes shifted into nightclub extravaganzas complete with vogueing routines; fire and water danced alongside the performers as elemental partners, adding to the danger and thrills.

This is the fourth work I have seen by this meticulous Czech choreographer and I again found myself engaged in an intense dialogue with the work as it unfolded before me. It brings up questions that demand thoughtful answers and the work probes your subconscious looking for resonance with your shadow side.

Stories have the ability to make us -- for they are the foundation where legends and heroes are born. But they also have the power and capacity to break us and tear us apart from our own kind, to separate us",

"The evening begins with an invocation to Egyptian goddess Hathor, praising her as “mistress of dance,” and “lady of jubilation.” But the woman who takes the stage is more evocative of Egyptian goddess Bastet with feline features and a catlike stride. Her stature barely surpasses 5 feet and yet she commands the entire space of the Theater at the 14th Street Y with her stately presence. This is Magda Saleh, the woman of honor and inspiration for this week long series of events and performances celebrating Egyptian dance, “in all its forms and traditions.” Ms. Saleh sets the tone with an"

"Jason the Terrible is a Professional Wrestling gimmick that debuted in Stampede Wrestling in the late 1980s. Booker Bruce Hart based the gimmick on Jason Voorhees of the Friday the 13th horror movie series. The first guy to do the gimmick was Karl \"Butch\" Moffat. Jason was originally a monster heel, until he got over enough to be turned face. Moffat was forced into temporary retirement after suffering a broken leg while traveling in a car with Davey Boy Smith and Chris Benoit on July 4, 1989. The gimmick was taken up by Roberto Rodriguez in the WWC in Puerto Rico and in the hardcore promotions IWA Japan and Big Japan Pro Wrestling, and has been used by other wrestlers in other promotions.\n\nYou can find the basics about Moffat's career at Wikipedia\n\n\"LUKE IS ANGRY ABOUT THESE TROPES!\""

"Monster Yamaha Tech 3 Team rider Cal Crutchlow stormed to a brilliant third place on a hot and humid second day of MotoGP testing at the Sepang International Circuit in Malaysia today. With track conditions a vast improvement on the slippery surface that greeted the field yesterday, lap times tumbled and Crutchlow was able to set a fastest pace of 2.00.907 on a day when air temperatures peaked at well over 30 degrees. Crutchlow shaved a ma ssive 1.3s off his best pace on a rain-hit first day and his big improvement enabled him to rocket up the rankings from sixth to third behind reigning World Champion Jorge Lorenzo and Dani Pedrosa.\n\nThe British rider dedicated much of his time on track today to working on different front fork settings and he experimented with a similar set-up used by Lorenzo in an attempt to make his YZR-M1 machine more agile in the fast changes of direction. The 27-year-old was satisfied with the progress made in his 59-lap stint having finished less than 0.3s behind Pedrosa. Rookie teammate Bradley Smith was also delighted with his performance today after he quickly restored his confidence following a tumble yesterday at Turn 7. The 22-year-old concentra ted mainly on improving his braking technique today on his way to clocking a best time of 2.02.369, which was an impressive 1.6s faster than his best pace on the opening day. Smith was able to get 63 valuable laps under his belt on a day in which he also began to evaluate a range of different settings on the Monster Yamaha Tech 3 YZR-M1 machine for the first time. His best time put him 10th and encouragingly for the future he was only marginally over one second away from the top six.\n\n‘There didn’t seem to be a lot of grip out there again today although the lap times have improved a lot. We tried something different with the front fork setting, which was in a similar direction to what Jorge (Lorenzo) uses and there were some good and bad points like with most things you test. I’m happy with my pace because we’ve tried a couple of different settings and we need to work on fine-tuning the best one. The main goal has been trying to stop the front of the bike lifting so much when I change direction on the throttle. The bike feels quite heavy so we need to reduce how much the fork comes up without sacrificing too much in another area like the braking. I’m sure if I had put in some new tyres at the start of the day I could have gone faster. But I waited to use mine around lunch and I still went faster, even though the track temperature was much higher at that point. I’m not really too concerned about the times though. I’m just concentrating on making the package we have got better for the first race in Qatar.”\n\n“After the crash yesterday I am feeling much happier today, though I’m a little bit wary of some things that happen with the front and that can play on your mind a little bit. But the track has more grip and my feeling with the bike is much better. Today I worked a lot on my braking technique because I’m being too cautious at the moment and not using the carbon brakes as they need to be used. We played around with some different settings today too just to gain more of an understanding about what direction we can take in the future if we have certain problems. I think Jorge is doing exceptionally well riding around consistently in the 2.00 bracket because all of the other guys seem to be in the 2.01s. He is on another level at the moment but to be honest I feel quite good doing consistent 2.02s. We are working for Qatar and the first race rather than lap times now. It is not e asy that’s for sure but I am confident soon it will start clicking into place and we will start rolling forward.”"

"Two weeks ago I started writing a blog post about the intersection of water and equity in the United States. I meant to get back to it last week when, well there’s no other way to put it, George Floyd was murdered less than two crow-flying miles from my house in Minneapolis. Just three days before his public asphyxiation, I bicycled through that intersection at 38th and Chicago on a grocery errand. With the escalation of response over the past seven days, finishing my blog post didn’t exactly rise to the top of my to-do list.\n\nAnd then, I read an email from Marleah Makpiaq LaBelle, an Alaskan Native and expert on water and sanitation issues facing indigenous Alaskans who allowed me to interview her last year as part of the report I wanted to share through my blog. She wrote:\n\n“This is quite the report and I’m glad it is shining a light on some of the injustices of access to safe and adequate water in our country. I must say, that there could be a report written entirely on water in Indian Country….. I often think about the Native communities that I have worked with and how scary it must be to live in a pandemic without running water.”\n\nAnd then today, I saw a tweet from water warrior Tyrone Jarvis, a black business owner in Newport News, Virginia, who has pioneered urban rainwater harvest regulations in Virginia at great personal sacrifice. He’s been running his auto repair business solely on rainwater for nearly five years, and yet he’s still running afoul of regulators. Here’s his post:\n\nAnd I thought about the Alabamians who sent me their appreciation for holding no punches in describing what I saw when I visited Uniontown, Alabama.\n\nGeorge Floyd’s public murder has focused a spotlight on police brutality to Black and Brown Americans, especially men and boys. It’s unconscionable, unfathomable, and yet it happens routinely. But let us not forget that it’s just the tip of the proverbial injustice iceberg. Police are not the only ones that inflict brutality on communities.\n\nThough we didn’t use the language of brutality and abuse in our report issued earlier this winter, maybe we should have. Inequities in funding, in water quality enforcement, in whose water gets polluted, who pays, and who has a voice, are other facets on the polyhedron of systemic and structural injustice that our country is built on.\n\nWe often say that water infrastructure is taken for granted, out-of-sight and out-of-mind. That’s true when it works for you. My (primarily white) neighbors and I turn on our taps, flush our toilets, and have what, for us, is a modest monthly fee automatically withdrawn from our bank accounts. We have not a care in the world when it comes to water, and rarely think about it. (Well, I do, but you know what I mean.)\n\nBut that’s not the case for millions of Americans. I won’t say more, other than, read the blog I started to write (below), and read the report as well as the individual case studies. And go easy on me. This isn’t the season for worrying about a perfect blog, but it is time that we all get a little uncomfortable with our comfort. We all start our journey somewhere, and reading our report, or at least the case studies, is as good a place to start as any.\n\nMost of my work, including serving as a volunteer officer for the Water Environment Federation, tends to focus on what is working with water. Every day, hundreds of millions of Americans fill their glasses, step into the shower, make dinner – all without worrying about getting sick. Similarly, they (we) flush toilets and trust that somehow that fetid water will disappear beneath our feet to be transformed into clean water before it is returned to our lakes, rivers, and oceans. It’s kind of miraculous, when you stop to think about it. Right?\n\nAs wonderful as that is, I can’t let that daily good-news routine blind me from the unfortunate reality that not everyone shares in the bounty of what the United Nations has declared to be a basic human right: access to clean water and sanitation, all at an affordable cost. Not at all.\n\nLast year, I was part of a team tasked by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) to explore the connections between public water infrastructure, well-being, and health equity. By way of background, thanks to the gifts of the late Mr. Johnson (of Johnson & Johnson), RWJF has been supporting public health in the U.S. for more than fifty years, currently giving out USD$500,000,000 per year. With that muscle they’ve been able to help turn the tide on big tobacco, childhood obesity, and other mammoth public health challenges. As part of their interest in healthy communities, their exploration of the role of public infrastructure gets at the basic tenants of public dollars: are we spending them in a way that spreads the benefits equitably?\n\nTo answer this question, we (my colleagues Tim Male and Sri Vedachalam of the Environmental Policy Innovation Center and I) dove into reports, drilled into utility websites, and spoke with more than 100 people to get a sense of the challenges and what could be done about them. Naturally, we then wrote a report about our findings, which I’d love for you to read: “H2Equity: Rebuilding a Fair System of Water Services four America”.\n\nSpoiler alert: when it comes to water (and pretty much everything else) the answer is “no”. The bottom line is that in the U.S., public dollars for water are disproportionately spent on large cities, and within those large cities the expenditures are most likely to skimp on investments in already disadvantaged communities. It’s a version of “the rich get richer” story. But naturally, there are solutions. Which is why you should read the report, or at least the brief.\n\n← A Waterfront View in the Time of Coronavirus\nHelping Mom: Frustrations of a high water bill →"

"News of the World will cease publication July 10 as a result of the wide-reaching phone hacking scandal, The Guardian reported. The newspaper’s final edition will be edited by Colin Myler and all advertising in the edition will be “donated to causes and charities that wish to expose their good works to our millions of readers.”\n\nJames Murdoch, News International’s chairman and News Corp’s deputy COO, announced the closing in a statement this afternoon. Murdoch commented that “The good things the News of the World does, however, have been sullied by behaviour that was wrong. Indeed, if recent allegations are true, it was inhuman and has no place in our Company.”\n\nHe added that the newspaper has “failed” in its own accountability and “failed to get to the bottom of repeated wrongdoing that occurred without conscience or legitimate purpose” since the 2006 police investigation that put private investigator Glenn Mulcaire and former News of the World reporter Clive Goodman in jail for hacking phones.\n\nMurdoch stated that the company will continue to cooperate with police investigations into the hacking. “Apologising and making amends is the right thing to do,” his statement read.\n\nThe BBC reported that “Downing Street said it had no role or involvement in the decision” to end News of the World.\n\nIn the past week, the list of potential victims of phone hacking by News of the World has expanded to include kidnapped and murdered teenager Milly Dowler, the families of the July 7, 2005 bombing victims, a lawyer involved in the inquest of Princess Diana’s death, and others.\n\nIn April 2011, News of the World and News International apologized to some victims of the phone hacking, including actress Sienna Miller, who was awarded $162,500 from the newspaper in a settlement.\n\nThe Guardian Q & A : Editor Criticizes the PCC\n\nThe Guardian’s editor, Alan Rusbridger, conducted an online question-and-answer with readers about the hacking before Murdoch’s announcement.\n\nRusbridger disclosed to readers that the newspaper doesn’t “pay for stories” and doesn’t “use private investigators without my permission.”\n\nRusbridger criticized UK media regulatory body the Press Complaints Commission for its lack of involvement in the phone hacking revelations. He stated that the PCC “can’t go on as it is” and that the groups’ “credibility is hanging by a thread.”\n\nHe also called the PCC’s 2009 report on phone hacking “laughable,” but noted the PCC retracted the report this week. He commended the group for its work as a “mediator” and handling complaints and privacy issues. But, he commented “The trouble is that it sails under the flag of ‘regulator.'” Since the PCC doesn’t have any “real powers” like “real regulators,” the PCC doesn’t have the capacity to handle or investigate issues like the phone hacking scandal, Rusbridger commented.\n\nHe advised the PCC “should either get itself the powers to investigate (compel witness, call for evidence, etc), or it should rebrand itself as a mediation and arbitration service.”\n\nIn May 2011, the PCC announced in its annual report that it created a Phone Hacking Review Committee and that the group wouldn’t “interfere with ongoing legal action” regarding the phone hacking. This week, the PCC stated that it is waiting for the police investigation to end before getting involved, as iMediaEthics has previously reported.\n\nRusbridger added that Prime Minister David Cameron made an “error of judgment” by bringing Andy Coulson onto his staff in 2010. Coulson resigned as an editor at News of the World in 2007 following Mulcaire’s and Goodman’s convictions for phone hacking. He was hired as Cameron’s communications director, but stepped down earlier this year as the phone hacking investigation expanded."

"Top 5 Tuesday is a meme hosted by Shanah, at Bionic Book Worm each week discussing different ways of rating all bookish things! Check it out!\n\nThis week isn’t quite a list of all the books I didn’t like that others did, it is more of a list of all the books that I found fell short of the hype. They are books that I probably wouldn’t have recommended or reread, but they seem to be all of the rage in both my friends and with some of their students! Some of these I even overrated on Goodreads because…peer pressure…it may not work for drugs on me, but it sure as heck works for some books.\n\nI also noticed a trend with this list. A lot of the books were ones that my friends from grad school loved, but read in middle or high school. I hadn’t read them yet and as movies were coming out, hype was built up. Maybe if I had read them earlier, I would feel differently.",

"Okay, please don’t hate me for this one. I did think it was okay. But, I’m a teacher and all of my teacher friends use it in their classrooms and they are OBSESSED with it. I understand its value, I think it is an important story, but I wasn’t in love with it, sucked into it, or had any sort of passionate feeling towards it. I love the stories from their classrooms and what they do with it, but it isn’t really me…that’s not to say I wouldn’t teach it if my students were old enough, but I didn’t feel it as a YEAY book for me.\n\nIn the world of Christian Romance I find that EVERYONE loves this book by Francine Rivers. It was recommended to me by a friend who spoke wonders about it. I liked it, but I didn’t feel the hype that most people do when talking about it. It was just okay for me; a little long and a little slow.\n\n3. The Giver by Lois Lowry\n\nThis is another that I didn’t particularly “dislike”, but that I didn’t get into as much as I thought I would. I figure that it might be one of those “if I read it at the right age” reads. I read this in graduate school and although it was good, it wasn’t as gripping as the other young adult novels I was reading. I do plan on finishing off the quartet too.\n\n4. The Book Thief by Markus Zusak\n\nAnother book in a genre that I love, historical young adult fiction/middle grade. It is also set during the time of the Holocaust and I thought that I would love that. Everyone else raved about it too! I’ve never heard a negative thought! IT wasn’t so much that it was a bad book, it just didn’t give me the emotions that I was expecting based on everyone’s reviews. It was good, I want to reread it and give it another chance. It just didn’t draw me in the same way other stories set in the time period with young adult main characters do.\n\n5. The Fault In Our Stars by John Green\n\nI hate to admit it, but I’m not that impressed with most of Green’s works that I have read. (Only two, but still…) It just isn’t as gripping as I always expect it to be. It is well written and the character development is real, but it wasn’t the emotional heart wreck that I was expecting."

"Introducing Flamy. A new hookup app for “bears and chasers” that aims to defy all labels.\n\n“Whether you are a Twink, a Jock type or a Bear, with FLAMY you can be yourself,” the app promises. “We offer an open platform and live by the motto ‘NO LABELS’.”\n\n“Gay people are some of the most discriminatory people on the planet,” CEO Casper X says in a press release, “and it’s no secret that dating in the gay world is hard if you don’t have a perfect body or a certain look.”\n\nThe allegedly non-discriminatory 18+ app is for males only. (Sorry, ladies… and non-binaries… and queers… and anyone who is not cisgender.)\n\nRelated: Shocking PSA shows just what it’s like to be on Grindr if you have HIV\n\nDespite having only launched a few days ago, Flamy already claims to be the “#1 gay dating app for bears and bear chasers.”\n\nCreators say they have tried to take “the best elements of Grindr, Scruff and other gay dating apps while leaving the discrimination and the labels those apps tend to generate.”\n\n“We started the Flamy dating app to get rid of the barriers that some people face in our community,” Casper X says. “We’re not Grindr; we’re not Jackd. We love all of our gay brothers.”"

"Is your audience growing the way it should?\n\nIf you’ve jumped into e-commerce, you’ve probably already been exposed to the world of Facebook ads. You’re always trying to find a way to build up your audience and your engagement. That’s where Facebook Marketplace ads come in.\n\nYou can use Marketplace ads to quickly and effectively boost your income by capitalizing on what’s a still underutilized strategy. And you can do it while lowering your cost per response, too. All it takes is a little hard work and some understanding of how the Marketplace works.\n\nOne of my favorite examples of this is a company called Thread Wallets, which creates graphics card sleeves and wallets for people who want a little extra accessory flair. The company started on the crowdfunding platform Kickstarter, then managed to build up to $4 million in revenue by 2018.\n\nThe secret? Effective use of social media advertising.\n\nBy adding Facebook Marketplace ads, Thread was able to generate over 300 purchases. They increased their ad spend year-over-year return by a whopping forty-one percent by incorporating Marketplace. And they saw a seventeen percent decrease in cost per conversion.\n\nFacebook Marketplace is more or less Facebook’s answer to eBay and Craigslist, allowing people to list products to sell. It’s mostly used as a local option—any work that you do to optimize your selling is probably best done on a local, area-by-area basis.\n\nThe average person browsing Facebook Marketplace has something that helps you that you don’t get from many other platforms: high intent. Google Adwords is one of the few platforms that are as comparable, and it has a similar level of intent.\n\nIf someone’s already looking to buy, you stand a much higher chance of capturing their attention with that bottom of the funnel content than you do in other contexts. That’s what makes Facebook Marketplace stand out among a sea of advertising options.\n\nFacebook Marketplace ads appear in the Shop and Daily Deals sections of the website, and they don’t charge for placement. Regular listings only charge for buying, with a 30 cent or 2.9 percent fee for each transaction. But Marketplace ads operate on a more traditional model.\n\nBecause intent is so high, though, it’s not hard to get traffic. It may be a narrower audience than Facebook’s regular News Feed, but it’s a more engaged one.\n\nThis makes dipping your toe into the water fairly risk-free. You’re not having to worry about your ROI as closely as you would with another option. That also means that you’re able to concentrate on the parts of your business that are more important to you.\n\nBy default, Marketplace ads are automatically optimized per click, which means that audiences similar to the ones that click on it are the ones that will see the ad show up more. That helps you reach like audiences without having to do a ton of work on the back end.",

"Facebook Marketplace has become the company’s answer to eBay and Craigslist. (Photo by PixieMe via Shutterstock)\n\nBe aware, Marketplace doesn’t allow you to boost listings for political products, so if you’re in that line of business you’ll have to try alternative methods. It’s also not available in every area, so you need to make sure you can use it where you live. If you’re in the United States you’re definitely able, but outside of that, you should check.\n\nCost per conversion is low, but your reach will take a hit compared to the News Feed. If you’re interested in marketing to a narrower or a local audience, though, the Facebook Marketplace is where it’s at.\n\nYour best bet for finding success is using both Marketplace ads and traditional News Feed ads in conjunction, as French game publisher Ubisoft did. With a combined strategy across both Marketplace and News, they were able to create a sixty-seven percent increase in purchases.\n\nThat’s staggering. Millions of people saw Ubisoft’s campaign, and with their success, other people took notice. They were featured as one of Facebook’s premier case studies.\n\nWhat made Ubisoft so successful?\n\nThe results, as you can see, speak for themselves.\n\nNo matter what your line of business, you can take advantage of Facebook Marketplace ads to reach an audience that has higher buying intent and a narrower focus than your regular audience.\n\nIf you’re looking for a platform that has high intent, low cost per conversion, and the reach of Facebook, you need to take advantage of this advertising option. You’ll quickly be able to boost your sales, your revenue and your income.\n\nGive it a try today. You might be surprised at what you find.\n\n(Featured image by PixieMe via Shutterstock)\n\nLucas Miller is freelance blogger, direct response copywriter and content marketer at Echelon Copy.

"Trek, Day 2: Sleeping under the stars (or not)\n\nJuly 21, 2012 · by JJD · in Friends, Nature, Travel, Trials and Tribulations · Leave a comment\nWe had the choice of sleeping in the tents (which were stiflingly hot and smelled like sheep) or under the stars. Since the windstorm by this time had died down, leaving an open sky and a light cooling breeze, we opted for the latter.\nAs you can imagine, the spread of stars that you can see at night in the desert so far from any cities is incredible. We lay on our backs and picked out constellations.\n\nI climbed a low ridge and could see a faint glow of the nearest village lighting the sky behind the dunes. I put my camera on its longest shutter speed and was able just barely to capture the lovely silhouette. Let’s see if it will register in the blog:",

"Alas, the starry sky was a thing too good to last. Around 2am I was awakened by a stiff breeze pelting sand in my face. It was the sort of breeze that seemed to bode no good, so I decided to collect my bag and a few items I’d left out nearby and put them into one of the tents, just in case a storm came. Amanda stirred and looked at me — I didn’t want to alarm her, so I continued collecting my things, thinking she would understand and follow suit. I had only just put my bag into the tent when the storm hit with a crash. Sand flew everywhere, some raindrops fell, and everything went upside down. I wrapped my scarf around my head and went back outside to help Amanda, who had curled up in fetal position around her backpack. My bed was nowhere to be seen. I scrambled back into the tent where I’d put my bag and discovered that the wind had eddied inside the tent in a way that had overturned the mats on the floor — such that my bag was now underneath a pile of mats and blankets (honestly, I would have been better off to have left everything outside). The Berbers hurried out of their tent (which had been flapping very noisily, sounding like some of the covers had come loose) in various stages of deshabille and bundled us into another tent and told us to sleep there. We obediently crawled inside — gritty and tousled and instantly hot and sweaty.\n\nCamping in the desert had become much less fun. By this time the sandstorm had died down, and we contemplated moving back outside for the fresh air. But the Berbers were working their way around the camp resecuring the tents and hammering stakes back into the ground; we decided to stay put. The remainder of the night was neither comfortable nor restful, although we both did sleep eventually, despite the awful heat inside the tent. Whenever I surfaced from my sweaty dozings I comforted myself with the thought that dawn would come early in the desert, and then we would be up to marvel at its wonders before mounting our camels and heading back to civilization.\n\n← Trek, Day 2: Life in a Berber camp\nTrek, Day 3: Sunrise in the desert →\nFollow A More Gentlemanlike Manner on WordPress.com"

"a-ha - Foot Of The Mountain album\n\nFoot of the Mountain is the ninth studio album by the Norwegian pop rock band A-ha. It was released on 19 June 2009 and reached No. 1 on the German Albums Chart and No. 2 on the Norwegian Albums Chart. In its first week in the UK, the album debuted at No. 5, the group's highest chart placing in that country since Stay on These Roads in 1988. The overall sound of the record marks a return to the synth-pop style the band became famous for in the mid-1980s\n\nFoot of the Mountain\" is the first single from the A-ha album of the same name. It was used as the official anthem of the 2009 World Championships in Athletics held in Berlin. The single reached in Germany, and is the highest charting single of the band in that country since Take On Me in 1985. Foot of the Mountain\", was released exclusively as a download single in selected territories of Mainland Europe. In Germany, a physical 2-track CD Single was released.\n\na-ha: Foot of the Mountain. If they're to be likened to another band, Take That would be more accurate - despite lashings of keyboard, Foot of the Mountain's core consists of the same grown-up wistfulness that's powered Barlow and company's comeback",

"WHO unveils new team to investigate origins of COVID-19\n\nWHO unveils new team to investigate origins of COVID-19\n\nby Editor\nin Around The World, Coronavirus, World\nReading Time: 3 mins read\n9 0",
null,
"Oct 14 (AdaDerana) – The World Health Organization said on Wednesday its newly formed advisory group on dangerous pathogens may be “our last chance” to determine the origins of the SARS-CoV-2 virus and urged China to provide data from early cases.\n\nThe first human cases of COVID-19 were reported in the central Chinese city of Wuhan in December 2019. China has repeatedly dismissed theories that the virus leaked from one of its laboratories and has said no more visits are needed.\n\nA WHO-led team spent four weeks in and around Wuhan earlier this year with Chinese scientists, and said in a joint report in March that the virus had probably been transmitted from bats to humans through another animal but further research was needed.\n\nWHO director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus has said the investigation was hampered by a dearth of raw data pertaining to the first days of the outbreak and has called for lab audits.\n\nThe WHO on Wednesday named the 26 proposed members of its Scientific Advisory Group on the Origins of Novel Pathogens (SAGO). They include Marion Koopmans, Thea Fischer, Hung Nguyen and Chinese animal health expert Yang Yungui, who took part in the joint investigation in Wuhan. L1N2R91AM\n\nMaria van Kerkhove, WHO technical lead on COVID-19, voiced hope that there would be further WHO-led international missions to China which would engage the country’s cooperation.\n\nShe told a news conference that “more than three dozen recommended studies” must still to be carried out to determine how the virus crossed from the animal species to humans.\n\nReported Chinese testing for antibodies in Wuhan residents in 2019 will be “absolutely critical” to understanding the virus’s origins, van Kerkhove said.\n\nThe WHO, in an editorial in Science, said that detailed investigations of the earliest known and suspected cases in China prior to December 2019 were still needed, including analyses of stored blood samples from 2019 in Wuhan and retrospective searches of hospital and mortality data for earlier cases.\n\nLabs in the area where the first reports of human infections emerged in Wuhan must be a focus, as ruling out an accident requires sufficient evidence, it said.\n\nMike Ryan, WHO’s top emergency expert, said the new panel may be the last chance to establish the origin of SARS-CoV-2, “a virus that has stopped our whole world”.\n\nThe WHO was seeking to “take a step back, create an environment where we can again look at the scientific issues”, he said. “This is our best chance, and it may be our last chance to understand the origins of this virus.”\n\nChen Xu, China’s ambassador to the UN in Geneva, told a separate news conference the conclusions of the joint study were “quite clear”, adding that as international teams had been sent to China twice already, “it is time to send teams to other places.”\n\n“I do believe that if we are going to continue with the scientific research I think it should be a joint effort based on science not by the intelligence agencies,” Chen said. “So if we are going to talk about anything, we are doing the whole business within the framework of SAGO”."

"Scientist Xinhua Yan works in the lab at Moderna in Cambridge, MA on Feb. 28, 2020. Moderna has developed the first experimental coronavirus medicine, but an approved treatment is more than a year away.\n\nBiotech stocks surged Friday after new details on a closely watched clinical trial lifted hopes that scientists may be close to a treatment for the coronavirus, which continues to maintain its foothold across the globe after emerging a little over three months ago.\n\nThe IBB, an ETF that tracks biotech’s biggest players, was up more than 2% Friday after health-care publication STAT News revealed early impressions from one of Gilead Sciences‘ clinical trials for antiviral drug remdesivir. The University of Chicago found that patients with Covid-19 had “rapid recoveries in fever and respiratory symptoms” and were discharged in less than a week, according to STAT.\n\nWhile infectious disease experts caution against jumping to conclusions, saying the new details of the Gilead trial are purely anecdotal, retail investors are “hungry” for good news on the virus, analysts say. Those investors could be taking their hunger and channeling it into buying shares, they said.\n\n“You could argue [Gilead] buyers are hungry for good news while Moderna buyers are starving for it,” said Mike Bailey, director of research at FBB Capital Partners and a former health-care analyst at Stifel.\n\nThere are no proven therapies to treat Covid-19, which has infected more than 2.1 million worldwide and killed at least 147,384 as of late Friday morning, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University.\n\nHealth officials say producing a vaccine to prevent the disease will take at least 12 to 18 months, making finding an effective drug treatment soon even more crucial as many businesses seek to reopen as early as next month.\n\nRemdesivir has shown some promise in treating SARS and MERS, which are also caused by coronaviruses. Some health authorities in the U.S., China and other parts of the world have also been using remdesivir, which was tested as a possible treatment for the Ebola outbreak, in hopes that the drug can reduce the duration of Covid-19 in patients.\n\nFormer Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Scott Gottlieb said while the new details from the Gilead trial are hopeful, they are “not a slam dunk.”\n\n“If it does work, I don’t think this is a cure,” he said Friday during an interview with CNBC’s “Squawk Box.” “I don’t think this is going to be the one drug answer to this disease, but it can change the contours of the disease and mitigate the worst outcomes for some patients.”\n\nInfectious disease experts and analysts caution the severe study is “single-arm,” meaning it will not evaluate the drug against a group of patients who didn’t receive the drug.\n\n“While a highly encouraging anecdote, we reiterate that this is an anecdote from one trial site and is not a substitute for the full data sets including data from the control arm of the moderate trial,” Credit Suisse analyst Evan Seigerman said in a note to investors Thursday.\n\nIn a statement to CNBC, Gilead said, “[T]he totality of the data need to be analyzed in order to draw any conclusions from the trial.”\n\nA University of Chicago spokesperson said, “Partial data from an ongoing clinical trial is by definition incomplete and should never be used to draw conclusions about the safety or efficacy of a potential treatment that is under investigation.”\n\nA Moment of Panic, Then Teamwork"

"There’s more truth in Ron Paul’s farewell speech to congress (below) than you will have heard from all the speeches of all the politicians you have ever listened to in your life time. I guarantee you. Ron Paul, by a country mile the most principled politician in the modern age of democracy, tried to change the system from within by consistently advocating individual liberty and spent thirty years explaining why restricting it would lead America to destroy itself. He failed. But his failure tells us far more about society than it does about him. In his lifetime he has been ignored, attacked and belittled by the majority, but history will redeem him.\n\nRon Paul deserves a great deal of respect for his passion, intelligence and integrity, but the task he took on was practically impossible."

"President Rodrigo Duterte faced the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) for the last time during his term on Tuesday, September 21 (Wednesday, September 22, Manila time), and spoke about key issues facing his administration as he leaves office.\n\nIn a taped address, the President spoke about COVID-19 vaccines, climate change, and the West Philippine Sea, among other topics. What was said – and wasn’t said – during his speech?\n\nBelow, we give context to some of the key issues the President mentioned during his address.\n\n“There is a man-made drought of vaccines ravaging poor countries.\n\n“Rich countries hoard life-saving vaccines, while poor nations wait for trickles. They now talk of booster shots, while developing countries consider half-doses just to get by.\n\n“This is shocking beyond belief and must be condemned for what it is – a selfish act that can neither be justified rationally nor morally.\n\n“The plain fact is – this pandemic will not end unless the virus is defeated everywhere. Vaccines are key to achieving this.\n\n“This is why the Philippines committed One Million Dollars to the UN’s COVAX Facility. This is our modest contribution to our collective fight against COVID-19.\n\n“We strongly urge our privileged partners to fully support the COVAX Facility and further strengthen other cooperation mechanisms. We need this to save more lives, break the cycle of variants and help ensure global economic recovery.”\n\nThe President has been adamant about vaccination, even going so far as threatening on June 21 to imprison anyone who doesn’t receive a vaccine. His officials later said that Duterte was just using strong words, and his spokesperson Harry Roque said he just meant “to emphasize what the State can do.” Despite threatening mandatory vaccination, Duterte has also been known to be lax about COVID-19 safety protocols, having asked a reporter in February to take off her face mask and face shield during a press conference. (READ: Many unknowns in Duterte’s COVID-19 jab as PH fights vaccine hesitancy)\n\nThe Health Department has also been flagged by the Commission on Audit (COA) for their misuse of COVID-19 funds, including an unused P3.4 billion in foreign aid that was supposed to be for pandemic response. (READ: COA: DOH’s low utilization of crisis funds affected health services)\n\nAs of Monday, 64,942,000 vaccine doses have been delivered to the Philippines and 41,793,930 doses have been administered out of those available. Around 20.84% of the country’s population have received the first dose of the vaccine. The government aims to vaccinate up to 70% of Filipinos in 2021. (READ: SCHEDULE: Philippines’ COVID-19 vaccine deliveries)\n\n“The greatest injustice here is that those who suffer the most are those the least responsible for this existential crisis.\n\n“But here we are now at a critical tipping point, where failure to act leads to cataclysmic consequences for the whole of humankind.\n\n“The Philippines accepts its share of responsibility and will do its part to avert this collective disaster. We have submitted our first Nationally Determined Contribution, with a target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 75% by 2030.\n\n“I issued a moratorium on the construction of new coal power plants and a directive to explore the nuclear energy option.\n\n“But this contribution will be rendered useless if the biggest polluters – past and present – choose to do “business as usual.” We therefore appeal for urgent climate action, especially from those that can truly tip the balance.\n\n“Developed countries must fulfill their longstanding commitment to climate financing, technology transfer, and capacity-building in the developing world. This a moral obligation that cannot be avoided.\n\n“Our world’s transition to a green economy must not be at the expense of developing countries’ economic vitality. It simply cannot be – or it would be another travesty of justice.”\n\nEven though Duterte derided the Paris agreement when he entered office in 2016, his administration finally submitted its Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change in April. (READ: Philippine banks move at slow pace in defunding coal)\n\nThe Philippines promised to cut down greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 75% from 2020 to 2030. However, only 2.71% of this is an unconditional target, or a target the government will achieve without external aid, an amount that environmental groups have criticized as “negligible.”\n\nMeanwhile, a report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) published on August 9 said that the amount of GHG emissions humans have spewed into the atmosphere will cause worsening floods, rains, heatwaves, and drought in the Philippines for the next 30 years, no matter what actions we take today. The country could experience bursts of extreme rainfall and extreme water shortage, which is a threat to agriculture.\n\nThe Duterte administration has backed a Department of Water Resources, but bills creating it are yet to hurdle the House of Representatives and the Senate. (READ: Who’s accountable for typhoon impact? Malacañang blames climate change)\n\n“The Filipino people want to live in peace and security in their homes and communities – free from harm and danger from the lawless.\n\n“But achieving this goal has not been without challenges.\n\n“I say this in no uncertain terms: The law applies to all.\n\n“I have instructed the Department of Justice and the Philippine National Police to review the conduct of our campaign against illegal drugs. Those found to have acted beyond bounds during operations shall be made accountable before our laws.”\n\nThe Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) reported that there were 6,181 persons who died during the government’s anti-drug operations as of July 31. However, data obtained by Rappler showed that there were 7,884 drug suspects killed by police from the time Duterte assumed office to August 31, 2020. This does not include the 27,000 vigilante killings outside of police operations that human rights groups have estimated.\n\nThe International Criminal Court green-lit on September 15 an investigation into these killings that will look at Duterte’s war on drugs and the killings by the so-called Davao Death Squad when he was mayor and vice mayor of Davao City. This followed Duterte’s State of the Nation Address on July 26, where he dared the ICC to record even his threats against those who “destroy” the country with illegal drugs. (READ: Duterte taunts ICC in SONA 2021: I never denied ‘I will kill’ in war vs drugs)\n\nAside from killings in relation to the drug war, there have been at least 65 judges, prosecutors, and lawyers killed during the Duterte administration, as of September 16, 2021. There have also been at least 11 vice mayors and 18 mayors slain, based on media reports between July 2016 and March 8, 2021.\n\n“We must resolve disputes peacefully, as we manifested in the Manila Declaration on the Peaceful Settlement of International Disputes.\n\n“The Philippines is one with ASEAN and other stakeholders in ensuring that the South China Sea remains a sea of peace, security and prosperity.\n\n“The 1982 UNCLOS and the 2016 Arbitral Award on the South China Sea provide a clear path towards a just, fair, and win-win solution for all.\n\n“The Award must be seen for what it is – a benefit across the board to all who subscribe to the majesty of the law.\n\n“No amount of willful disregard by any country, however big and powerful, can diminish the Arbitral Award’s importance.”\n\nDuterte entered his presidency with a strong stance on the West Philippine Sea (WPS). He even promised in the Cagayan de Oro presidential debates in February 2016 that he would plant the Philippine flag in the Spratlys or Panatag (Scarborough) Shoal via jetski. In May, he dismissed the statement as a joke. (READ: Fisherman who asked Duterte in 2016 debate says President became a joke too)\n\nThe President has made it evident that he wants to preserve good ties with China over all else, having flip-flopped and given contradicting statements on the Philippines’ battle over the WPS. This is despite the efforts of some of his diplomatic and defense officials to assert the Philippines’ right over its own waters. (READ: Duterte and the West Philippine Sea: A strategy of failed compromises)\n\nThe president said in his July 26 State of the Nation Address (SONA) promise that he would bring up China’s encroachment on the WPS at the United Nations. Even during the SONA, though, Duterte took a defeatist stance, telling Filipinos: “How can we fight China? Do we have the weapons, do we have everything?”\n\nHe said that asserting our rights over the WPS would court war with China, a position that has been dismissed by experts as misguided and misplaced.\n\nAside from Duterte, world leaders like US President Joe Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping addressed the UN on Tuesday, either virtually or live at the UN’s headquarters in New York. The UNGA’s General Debate will continue until September 27. – Rappler.com"

"What a splendid week we had last week. I ordered prototype cards for Conclave. I playtested new components for Scoville. And I enjoyed a few beverages.\n\nHere’s a recap of what I drank and what I played last week:\n\nHere are the tasty beverages I was able to enjoy last week:\n\nLeinenkugel’s Honey Weiss: This was an easy choice since we were camping. It’s a pretty easy-drinking wheat and honey beer from Wisconsin brewer Leinenkugel’s. We needed something in a can (Not Pabst!) that would be enjoyable around a campfire. I had requested Leinie’s Summer Shandy, but my wife choose Honey Weiss instead. No complaints there.\n\nBen Franklin’s Honey: This is my second homebrew and is rather enjoyable. Perhaps I have something for honey beers. This was enjoyed while working on game design. A perfect combination!\n\nNew Belgium Fat Tire: This fine beverage was enjoyed after our softball game where we won and became the first half champions of our league, thus locking in a spot in the championship game for our team.\n\nLake Louie Warped Speed Scotch Ale: This delicious scotch ale from nearby Lake Louie Brewery was also a post-game celebratory beverage. It is probably my favorite scotch ale and I hope to visit and tour the brewery someday.\n\nPearl St. Mills Pils: This was the last of the celebratory softball beverages and unfortunately also was my least favorite. It was a typical pils and nothing about it really stood out. Or it could have been because I had two before this one, it was late, and I was really tired. I guess I’ll have to give it another attempt.\n\nAlberti Amber: This is my first homebrew and I only have a few of them left. I saved the very first bottle and it will remain in my basement/man cave forever! I was able to enjoy this during a game night last Friday. I think it’s pretty decent for a first go at homebrewing.\n\nHere are the delightful games I was able to enjoy last week:\n\nConclave: This prototype of mine is still very rough. I solo tested it and learned that it needed some mathematical tweaks to make sure things are balanced for all players, and so that it can actually be played the way I want it to be played. I’ll likely have this with me at GenCon if anyone is interested.\n\nScoville: Four of my Level 1 friends were willing to test some new components for this game. The components are bonus abilities that let you do things you normally can’t do. But you can only do them once per game. If you use an ability, then you sacrifice the four points that it is worth. If you do not use them, then each is worth 4 points at the end of the game. This is like the train stations in Ticket to Ride: Europe.\n\nTsuro: This tile-laying game plays quickly and can be frustrating. We played twice, but the finish to the first was quite memorable. This picture shows the final tile placement, which resulted in all three remaining players being eliminated at the same time.",
null,
"The grand elimination/victory moment for the Red, White, and Blue!\n\nGentlemen Thieves: This is a competitive game where you are trying to earn your own character the most loot from participating in different robberies throughout the game. On your turn you place a piece of evidence onto one of the five locations. If a location then has at least one of each of the five different types of evidence, then that location is robbed. The evidence tokens are flipped over to the loot side and divvied up between whichever team robbed the location. The team that robbed the location is the one with more evidence of their player colors in that spot. The game ends when the Brigadier makes a showing, and the player with the most loot wins. This is a fun light-ish game with a large mental aspect. I’ve now played twice (Once 2p and once 5p). I enjoy it, though it feels like my brain wants to explode each time!\n\nSo what Barley or Boards were your favorites from this past week? Anything you’re hoping to enjoy this week?"

"The prickly seed pods on this climbing vine led to a concerned Ha’iku resident reporting it to MISC as a potential invader. Turns out it is a native plant, Mucuna sloanei. Photo by Hank Oppenheimer\n\n“Anything that bristly has got to be invasive,” said the Haʻiku resident who reported a vine that she found in the gulch on her family property. She called the Maui Invasive Species Committee (MISC) when neither she nor her relatives could identify the strange climber with seedpods covered in fiberglass-like hairs. No one in the family had noticed it before and they had worked or played in the gulch since small-kid times. She collected a specimen, prickly seedpods and all, and brought it into the MISC office.\n\nThough bristly, it turned out not to be an invasive species after all. The unusual creeper was a native plant once widespread in low elevations on Maui and other Hawaiian Islands. Commonly known as seabean, botanists call it Mucuna sloanei.\n\nMucuna comes in two varieties: sloanei, indigenous to Hawaiʻi; and persericea, endemic to windward East Maui and found nowhere else in the world. There are only a few of the persericea plants left. Because of the rarity of the persericea variety, and the damage caused by pigs and cattle to its habitat, the vine was recently listed as endangered by the U.S Fish & Wildlife Service. The possibility that it could be thriving in a Haʻiku gulch, only a stone’s throw from the Haʻiku Marketplace, was therefore pretty exciting. But it takes an expert to know the difference between the two varieties and Hank Oppenheimer fits the bill.\n\nOppenheimer is the Maui Nui Coordinator for the Plant Extinction Prevention Program (PEPP), a Pacific Cooperative Studies Unit project that works to protect the most rare and threatened plants in Hawaiʻi. Throughout the state, a handful of people like Oppenheimer and technician Keahi Bustamente hike deep into remote forests, scaling cliffs and doing whatever they can to prevent the rarest species’ extinction. This includes collecting seeds from rare Hawaiian plants, propagating them in greenhouses, and then outplanting the precious plants in protected habitat.\n\nFor plants, garnering listing as a PEPP species of interest is a mixed blessing; it means there are less than 50 individuals left in the wild. Oppenheimer is investigating the distribution of persericea to determine if it should be included with the other 236 PEPP targets.",

"Finding the native Mucuna sloanei was a pleasant surprise. Photo by Hank Oppenheimer\n\nOppenheimer and Bustamente headed to the Ha’iku gulch. The vine turned out to be the more common sloanei, but Oppenheimer was still excited. “It was really interesting to see Mucuna in a place like that,” he said. Most of the habitat for Mucuna has been turned into pasture, farmland, or long ago taken over by invasive plants.\n\nBut as the team was leaving the gulch, they made a troubling discovery. Bustamente noticed an unusual plant with massive 2-3 foot long leaves, purple on the underside. He knew it instantly as miconia. This notorious pest and MISC target was certainly out of place; miconia is primarily between Keʻanae and Hāna. The discovery marks the westernmost naturally occurring plant in recent history.\n\nSo when the Haʻiku resident reported what she thought was an invasive vine, she actually helped uncover a relatively rare native species as well as one of the most invasive plants in Hawaiʻi. A great example of the more you look, the more you find.",

And if you think you may have Mucuna on your property, contact Hank Oppenheimer at henryo@hawaii.edu. If you would like help identifying an unusual plant, native or not, you can find a number of resources available online, including the Flikr site “Hawaii Plant ID,” curated by some of the state’s best botanists, or you can call MISC at 573-6472, particularly if you think you’ve found miconia.\n\nOriginally published in the Maui News, April 12th, 2015 as part of the Kia‘i Moku Column from the Maui Invasive Species Committee."

"Building Bridges in a Divided State\n\nThe success of an exploratory trip to Nigeria by John Graham in 2008 led to the idea, then the plans and the launch of Giraffe Heroes International two years later. In that 2008 trip, Graham spent eleven days speaking, leading workshops and meeting a wide variety of Nigerians committed to the social and political transformation of their country.\n\nNigeria, the most populous country in Africa, suffered then and now from corruption and poor governance that for decades have hampered efforts to meet key challenges of social, political and economic development. Blessed with natural resources (principally oil) and a large, educated middle class, the country has made only limited progress since its independence in 1960.\n\nGraham was initially invited to Nigeria by the Nigerian Center for Societal Transformation to explore how the Giraffe Heroes Project, with its message of courage, hope and practical change, could help. From Lagos in the south to Abuja in the middle to Kano in the Muslim north, Graham gave nine presentations in eleven days including public speeches, leadership training workshops, training sessions for educators and even preaching in churches.\n\nEverywhere he went, he introduced the Giraffe concept of telling the stories of real heroes as a way of moving others to courageous and compassionate action on issues that they cared about. He talked about meaning as a key motivator for taking on tough tasks and about service as a strong and stable source of meaning. He offered practical tips to Nigerian activists to improve strategic planning and execution. He showed them how to create and communicate a vision powerful enough to attract support from others.",

"Graham speaking to civic and religious leaders in Kano\n\nIn Kano, in the Muslim north, a city where Osama bin Laden was a hero to many, Graham told the story of Joel Bisina, a Nigerian hero working for peaceful solutions to deadly violence in the troubled Delta region of the country. In one of the poorest slums in Lagos, he worked with young leaders to improve their efforts to provide leadership for community development. In Abuja, t nation’s capital, he met with senior non-governmental organization (NGO) leaders to explore how Giraffe ideas and materials might help them in their efforts.",
null,
"John and workshop trainees in Lagos\n\nWith a huge percentage of Nigeria’s population under 25 years old, Graham spent much of his visit talking to educators and youth leaders about how to engage kids in service projects, giving them skills and hope for the future. He urged Nigerians to tell their kids the stories of the real heroes in Nigeria’s rich history, and why it was important to give kids the freedom to explore their powers as agents of change, even when that means rocking a few boats.\n\nGiraffe Heroes Project curricula and books proved very popular, especially Stick Your Neck Out, Graham's guide for social and political activists. In an arrangment with the book's US publisher, Stick Your Neck Out can now be published by Rehoboth Books, a publisher based in Lagos. This would allow it to be sold at a price low enough to get it to many more activists and change agents who need it all over the country."

"The term “hacking” generally carries with it a negative connotation in the world of data security. When it comes to computer science, the act of hacking typically means gaining access to data without permission.\n\nAlthough the definition of hacking outside of the world of computers usually means to create a crude shortcut instead of carefully creating a path, this definition can also be applied to information security when you consider hacking’s history.\n\nThe first hackers were actually what became known as phreakers. These were people with an interest in telecommunications systems who would hack everything from home phone equipment to large-scale telephone networks.\n\nSometimes this was done for fun as a prank, but other times it was done with malicious intent. In time, hacking was used by university students to create shortcuts that would allow greater access to expensive computer equipment stored at colleges like the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).",

"Is A Virtual Hackathon A Legal Event?\n\nIn the world of technology, the term “hackathon” gets thrown around from time to time, but you may be wondering “what is a hackathon?”\n\nBecause hacking often carries with it a reputation for illegal activity these days, you might think that any event referred to as a hackathon would be an event for criminals to break into as many computers as possible in a short amount of time.\n\nThe truth, however, is that a hackathon, sometimes known as a datathon, is a legal event in which participants attempt to solve or hack problems in technology. It does not involve illegally accessing data or any type of malicious activity.\n\nIn general, a programmer puzzle is presented to participants who will then collaborate in small teams to see which team can create the most efficient solution.\n\nThe aim of these events is never to engage in malicious hacking, but instead, teams are encouraged to get creative using technology to find innovative solutions to problems faced by technologists, developers, designers, engineers and others in the tech field.\n\nWhat Happens At In-Person And Online Hackathons?\n\nThe rules for a hackathon can vary based on the type of event. A hackathon for beginners may only rely on a few simple rules, but hackathon events for advanced tech professionals will usually employ stricter rules, tighter deadlines and more requirements regarding the outcomes each team presents.",
null,
"In-person hackathons may also have different rules compared to virtual events. A virtual hackathon often means that participants have access to a wider range of resources to work with.\n\nThis can make some problems easier to solve compared to in-person events where resources are limited to what is provided on-site.\n\nDuring both in-person and virtual events, there is usually a theme that teams are meant to integrate into solving a puzzle. In many cases, mentors will be deployed to work with teams, but this is often the case when student teams or teams of inexperienced hackers are involved in an event.",
null,
"Some hackathons can be as short as 24 hours, but others will extend for days, pitting the resolve of each team against the resolve of others involved in the event.\n\nAlthough solving problems using technology is the main goal of a hackathon, these events are also considered to be gamified competitions.\n\nThis makes them excellent exercises for students, and they can also be fun team-building exercises for the workplace if your company employs IT professionals.\n\nGamifying activities has been shown to improve participation rates and engage participants in workplace events, and this approach can also be used during a hackathon to make learning exercises more fun.",
null,
"For students, activities should be geared toward the level of understanding of the grade or year of the students involved. One idea may be to give the students an objective to create a simple app and then allow them to work out how they will code the app on their own.\n\nThe final winner could be determined by which team creates an app that not only works but also that performs faster than the others. Adding this last requirement is what will drive students to find the most efficient solutions.\n\nCombining robotics for kids with coding activities is also a popular option for grade school hackathons. In these challenges, students work together to program a robot that performs a special function, such as autonomously navigating a series of obstacles or automatically completing a simple task.\n\nStudents get the opportunity to see how their programming decisions directly affect the capabilities of an automated system. Whether they succeed or identify opportunities for improvement, either case can be inspiring and exciting.\n\nFor experienced tech professionals, more complex problems can be presented with more involved requirements. When creating coding puzzles, you want the end result of each team to be arrived at based on the team’s own path.\n\nThis means that there shouldn’t be one single answer to a puzzle, but rather, solutions should be generated based on the freedom to choose various paths as decided on by each team.",

"Lufthansa is also considered Europe's highest revenue airline, also exposed to claims of fueling climate change with rising CO2 emissions. Spohr described the modernization of the fleet with more efficient machines as the \"greatest leverage for the foreseeable future\" in order to fly as ecologically as possible. The Group plans to access 221 new aircraft by 2027, investing billions each year. At the turn of the year, the group's fleet had 763 aircraft.\n\nSpohr renewed his call for the unification of fragmented European airspace. With this measure, the Lufthansa Group could save 3 million tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) per year – about a tenth of the current emissions. (SDA)"

"When Becky Julseth and her family found the property they now call home, it wasn’t the house that convinced them. In fact, it may have been a clear “no” until they saw the backyard.\n\n“It was like walking into the Butchart Gardens,” says Julseth. “I remember thinking, ‘Are you kidding me?’ The woman who lived here clearly spent her entire time gardening. There was this incredible catalpa tree with its huge elephant ear leaves and we just knew. We wanted our child to be in this backyard.”\n\nEven though the surroundings clinched the deal, the 1949 art deco-inspired bungalow by the Gorge Waterway would need some serious revisions to work for a young family. To help with the transformation, Julseth recruited designer Raubyn Rothschild, principal of Rothschild West Design + Planning. The first pillar of the mission: bringing the beauty of the outdoors inside.\n\n“We love the art-deco and mid-century motifs, but my 6’2″ partner was ducking through the alcoves and we realized this would be a serious renovation project,” says Julseth. “When this place was built, the garden and its tree weren’t out there and there were no windows on that side of the house. We wanted to prioritize that scene, like you would an ocean view.”\n\nDown to the Studs\n\nRothschild was able to bring the family’s wish list to life with a down-to-the-studs reno that included reinventing the layout, opening the house to the backyard and creating storage to suit family needs.\n\n“The house was very closed in, so we started on the perimeter first. We wanted to bring in light and openness to create vistas while you’re in the space, while maintaining some definition of the rooms,” says Rothschild. “Becky has such great style, but how she and her family interacted with the interior fell flat too, so we wanted to create appropriate areas for things like storage, TV and art in a way that worked for how they actually lived.”",

"The relatively modest 1,140-square-foot main floor underwent serious structural change, which included bringing elements of the home up to code and reinventing the kitchen to encompass the former dining area. Broad windows were incorporated into the kitchen, to look onto the yard, and cabinetry focused on lower drawer-based storage, so views remained unobstructed.\n“The whole upper half of the wall is pretty well windows, so it does more than just bring light in from the garden,” says Julseth. “With the big tree in the backyard, when you walk into the house the tree is actually an accent colour — it pops with green.\n”Along with the drastic changes, the original carpet was pulled up to reveal a solid beechwood floor, which was refinished with a natural stain. While the coved ceilings stayed, the walls in the living areas were opened. Rothschild says the open design isn’t just about style. Her own experience has changed the way she envisions designs.\n“I had a toddler myself at the time of this renovation, so designing a home for a family was a totally different story since I was living it,” says Rothschild. “You’re thinking of sight lines in a whole new way, needing to see your child in one area while working on something in an adjacent space. You’re also thinking about where things can go, so they belong somewhere when there isn’t a lot of square footage. Those are the things that matter to you every day, and create a relaxed feeling at home.”\n\nAnother element that adds to the relaxed vibe is the reduced colour palette, with hints of black and gold, that focuses on natural materials and texture to build interest in the space. The concrete-plaster fireplace adds striking modernity.“\nNow, the house feels like a penthouse condo on a quarter-acre lot,” says Julseth, noting the oversized kitchen seems to be everyone’s favourite space in the house. “Everything looks really intentional. My partner and I are both into the modern look and we’re really excited to be in something that works for our family.”",

"Magic in the Moonlight",

"In the cards: Emma Stone and Colin Firth\n\nMagic in the Moonlight is another summertime Continental trifle from Woody Allen, burnished with name actors, sun-dappled Cote d'Azur locations and Jazz Age finery. In it, a British magician and noted skeptic (Colin Firth) is brought by his pal (Simon McBurney) to a South of France estate to help debunk the otherworldly claims made by a pretty young spiritualist (Emma Stone) and her mother (Marcia Gay Harden).\n\nIt's a drawing-room comedy of manners that lays out most of its cards early and plainly: Will Firth and Stone overcome their philosophical differences — and the three-decade age gap — to discover the real-life magic that is l-o-v-e? This leaves viewers free to admire the scenery, vintage automobiles, Firth's patented dithering and some adorable summer frocks.\n\nMagic oh-so-slightly suggests unresolved tensions between fact and faith, science and God, but never really sinks its teeth into such matters. And while Firth and Stone are both charming in their own rights, there's not much chemistry between them, lending their scenes the artificial air of watching two handsome actors ably trade lines.\n\nAnd that age thing: If I were Woody Allen and endlessly dodging awkward questions about my own relationships with much younger women, I'd avoid making May-December rom-coms. This story wouldn't have lost anything if, for instance, Firth's character had been tricked and later enchanted by the middle-aged but bewitching Marcia Gay Harden. That actually sounds like a more intriguing set-up."

"Who owns the beach?\n\nA dispute over a slice of Sunset Beach could have implications for the entire state.",
null,
"Shanna Gillette\nTHIS SAND IS MINE: Tony Amico, owner of Caddy’s on the Beach.\n\nBy the time the men had started frantically shoveling wet beach sand into small yellow bags, Debby had already eaten a good chunk of the beach that skirts Caddy’s on the Beach, the storied waterfront bar. It was clear the water was on its way up, and once it got there, it would want in.\n\nSunset Beach, the lush, charming Treasure Island neighborhood that’s home to Caddy’s, was not new to this type of tumult. Like any Gulf beach, it’s seen more than its share of storm systems packing a wallop.\n\nBut Sunset Beach has lately seen a different type of tumult — a scrum of lawyers and dollars — that some say could have an historic impact: a battle over the stretch of sand that skirts Caddy’s on the Beach.\n\nCaddy’s owner Tony Amico says that the beach belongs to him, fair and square. He says the state — by way of the Board of Trustees of the Internal Improvement Trust Fund of the State of Florida — handed it over to him in a 2009 settlement. Quitclaim deeds signed by former Governor Charlie Crist and his cabinet, which constituted the board of trustees, seem to hand all rights to the beachfront property — including the beach — to Amico’s Gulf Sands Properties, LLC.\n\nA Florida Department of Environmental Protection letter, dated June 1, 2012, begged to differ. Dubbed the “Dougherty Letter” after the name of its author, FDEP Deputy Secretary of Land and Recreation Al Dougherty, it reads: “To the extent that there is dry land waterward of the nine lots conveyed, the Board of Trustees claims ownership to that land for the benefit and use of the public.”\n\nThe letter goes on to ask Amico to “remove any signs that are prohibiting the public’s use of this portion of the beach.”\n\nAmico isn’t having it. He says the matter isn’t up to FDEP; that the Board of Trustees is the sole authority on this.\n\n“That’s the only body that has the right to give up property,” he says.\n\nSo he’s suing the state.\n\nSunset Beach is one of those neighborhoods that residents are willing to fight for. It’s a narrow peninsula where ancient, cedar-walled tenements mingle with granite snowbird nests. Hibiscus and plumeria line the streets. Music is always in the air — coming either from the divey, thatched-roof blues joint Ka Tiki or the apartment where the band Sunza Beaches rehearses. Watching the sunset is a daily ritual most will miss only because of inclement weather.\n\nBut there’s one thing about Sunset Beach that makes it particularly magnetic: the neighbors. Some are lawyers, some are musicians, and some, well, you’re not really sure what they do. It doesn’t matter. Everyone stops in the street to chat. Everyone comes out for the Holiday Stroll, which gets pretty raucous. Everyone — everyone — loves Sunset Beach so much that they tend to watch closely for any decision that could impact their way of life.\n\nThis is why they care so much about how a portion of their beach is defined.\n\nA few years ago, Sunset Beach was defined by something embarrassing and inconvenient — a weekly influx of thousands of hard-core partiers who came to do body shots and presumably compare tramp stamps. Debauchery and parking issues abounded. At the time, drinking was legal on the beach, and Caddy’s was in the middle of the madness. It got so bad, Amico says, that he had to spend $70,000-$100,000 per year on law enforcement, porta-potties, and other things aimed at offsetting the crowds.\n\nLong story short, the problems led the Treasure Island City Commission to propose a controversial beach-wide alcohol ban. After a widely publicized debate, commissioners agreed on a compromised ban that applied to stretches of beach north and south of Caddy’s. Since Caddy’s was considered a private beach, the rule did not apply to the beach there.\n\nThe inebriates migrated to some other Jäger-and-fist-pumping hub, but the locals were still not happy. They were left with stretches of beach on which they could not legally crack open a cold one on a Saturday afternoon — even though Caddy’s customers could still legally walk out to the water, mai-tais in hand.\n\nSome are objecting to the idea that part of Sunset Beach, unlike pretty much every other beach in the state, does not belong to all Floridians.\n\n“You need to have public ownership of the beach,” says Kristy Andersen, president of the Sunset Beach Civic Association. “This is a very basic thing… it is a big deal.”\n\nThe civic association wrote a letter to the state that spurred the Dougherty letter. Andersen said the group didn’t think city officials were doing enough to enforce what the association sees as state law that’s outlined in Florida’s constitution.\n\nIn Andersen’s view, the City of Treasure Island hasn’t lifted a finger to enforce the state’s command. But the city did do one thing. It hired a land use attorney to conduct an exhaustive legal analysis of the case — both the history of coastal land ownership and that of the property in question — in order to determine the legal owner of the beach.\n\nPresented to the city commission by attorney David Levin on November 1 of last year, the study concluded that the beach belongs “to the state of Florida to be held in the trust of all the people.”\n\nLevin reasoned that since, at the time the state issued the deeds the property’s western boundary was not actually touching water, it didn’t grant Amico ownership of the beach.\n\nThe question of who owns the beach is further complicated by the fact that Sunset Beach is one of the most unstable stretches of sand on the Pinellas County coastline. Amico says Tropical Storm Debby took 40 feet of beach late last month.\n\nIf you go to Sunset Beach today, much of it looks gutted. There’s an exposed sandbar that wasn’t there before.\n\nEven when the sun is shining, that beach is constantly eroding. Sunset Beach was reportedly the site of one of the first federal beach renourishment projects back in the ’60s. Those projects, funded by the county, state, and federal governments, involve dredging sand from designated offshore stores and pumping it back up onto the beach. Without such projects, nearly everything human-made thing you see along the Pinellas beaches would eventually crumble into the gulf.\n\nAnd if the water does wash away part of your property? According to state law, what’s under the water no longer belongs to you. It belongs to the people of Florida.\n\nAn organization called Save Our Beaches fought this law all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court in 2010, but the court found in the state’s favor.\n\n“If it erodes, you lose your beach,” says Tom Scherberger, a resident of Sunset Beach who has been watching the issue closely. (Scherberger, a former Tampa Bay Times editor, is married to Sunset Beach Civic Association president Andersen.)\n\nAmico, however, points out that his 2009 settlement with the state, the one that yielded him a quitclaim deed to the property, predates the Supreme Court decision. Though experts say that a quitclaim deed isn’t quite as binding as a warranty deed, Amico says that the deed gives him rights to any land that builds up — or accretes. That, to him, means renourished beachfront.\n\nLevin, the attorney hired by Treasure Island, responds, “Obviously, if the State had the benefit of knowing the outcome of the U.S. Supreme Court decision rendered in 2010, it may not have entered into the settlement agreement.”\n\nIf he wins his case, Amico says, it’s not like private beaches will start popping up all along Florida’s shores. They’ll have to fight just like he has.\n\nTo Andersen, Scherberger and others, the case very much does have statewide implications. Scherberger calls it a classic Florida story. He says the Florida Constitution spells it out pretty clearly in stating that the title to Florida’s beaches “is held by the state, by virtue of its sovereignty, in trust for all the people.” The law does, however, go on to say sale and private use of “such lands” can occur if they’re in the public interest. Sunset Beach residents would probably argue that Caddy’s being a private beach would not be in the public interest.\n\n“Florida is a very fragile ecosystem,” Andersen says. “You can’t just let somebody go in and do whatever he wants.’”\n\nAmico is confident that the court will rule in his favor, even though he doesn’t really expect a decision to come down for another two years.\n\nMeanwhile, the question of who owns the beach remains one of the most important questions the state needs to ask itself. But if we wind up in the path of the wrong weather system, the question will be moot — because then the cherished stretch of sand known as Sunset Beach would belong to no one but the Gulf of Mexico."

"10 Steps to Become a Non-Smoker Script\n\nUse this POWERFUL smoking cessation program with your clients – it’s astonishingly effective and costs you less than you will earn from one client!\n\nThe Ten Steps to become a Non-Smoker hypnosis scripts from The Script Collection make up a unique approach to helping people who no longer want to smoke.\n\nBut this programme does not get them to stop smoking.\n\nIndeed, it encourages them to smoke right through the programme.\n\nBecause this is not a how to stop smoking programme.\n\nIt is a how to become a non-smoker programme – and a non-smoker is someone for whom smoking is just not relevant.\n\nSo when you start this programme with your clients, you give them instructions that they are to continue smoking throughout. And you instruct them that when they no longer want to smoke, then they can stop smoking while they continue with the programme.\n\nStep by step, as you take them through the programme, you unhook each and everyone of the unconscious connections that keeps the smoking habit in place.\n\nAnd they don’t know and you don’t know whether they will no longer want to smoke after the first, or the second, or another part of the programme.\n\nThe Ten Steps to become a Non-Smoker hypnosis scripts are intended to be used as an integrated programme and are available as a complete set.\n\nHere’s how the programme is put together:\n\nStep One – How you are being brainwashed\nThis hypnosis script clarifies how certain beliefs can hold smoking in place and how smoking dictates to the smoker. In the pre-talk the client learns (all over again) the essential facts about the impact of smoking.\n\nA simple relaxation induction leads them into a state of receptivity where you help them begin to understand how they are being hoodwinked into ignoring these facts. Once you’ve seen through the trick, you can’t be tricked any more.\n\nStep Two – The parasite and the host\nThis hypnosis script dispenses with pre-talk and relies on the immediate introduction of a powerful metaphor to engage the unconscious mind and induce trance.\n\nThe aim of the metaphor is to help the client become more objective about the true nature of the relationship between them and their cigarettes. You then put the choice before them and lead them hypnotically through the long term outcomes of their choices.\n\nStep Three – An abusive relationship\nIn Step Three you will take the client through a longer induction process, allowing them to become really deeply entranced before leading them into a different metaphorical representation of what has been happening between them and cigarettes.\n\nThe emotional power of this metaphor is used to inspire the client to break out of the grip of smoking once and for all and to build up determination not to fall for tobacco in future.\n\nStep Five – Breaking the chains that bind\nA paradoxical induction gently moves the client into a deep hypnotic trance, where the apparently ‘unbreakable’ links between smoking and other activities and situations come under the spotlight of true understanding.\n\nAnd that sharp bright light reveals that these links, which look so solid, are fine as gossamer. As the client begins to break through the links, you will future pace them to rehearse experiences of being utterly free of such associations.\n\nStep Six – Living under a dictatorship\nIn this hypnosis script the trance induction builds upon the expectation that the work already done has begun to bear fruit (whether or not the client has now stopped smoking) and can be acknowledged in the body.\n\nTwo new metaphors are brought into play to inspire the client to focus their rebellion in the right direction and to realise that, even when their smoking habit seemed all consuming, it was only a tiny part of them that was really collaborating. Which means that the rest of them is standing ready to support the rebellion.\n\nStep Seven – Freedom from fear\nThe powerful metaphors used in Step Six are deployed in this hypnosis script to propel the client hypnotically away from their previous smoking life style, discovering the joys of experiencing health and fitness once more.\n\nBut that’s not all. At the same time you help them arm themselves against the lies and trickery that might lie in wait to tempt them back, so they cannot be ambushed. Ready for anything, they can really experience smoking as something that is past.\n\nStep Eight – Living free\nStep Eight of the Ten Steps to become a Non-Smoker is devoted to the future. In this hypnosis script you lead your client to focus on a series of individual beneficial experiences that will come their way as a result of leaving smoking behind. Each one is evoked in great sensory detail, and rehearsed at an unconscious level to embed it deeply in the psyche as a natural part of daily functioning – where the thought of smoking just does not arise.\n\nA clear and practical pre-talk (which is also full of embedded therapeutic suggestions) explains why being free of nicotine doesn’t have to equal weight gain and why in fact the ex-smoker will become slimmer (if they need to) as well as stronger, fitter and of course healthier.\n\nThose natural consequences are then made the basis of the induction of trance where the everyday practical world is left behind for a wonderful energising metaphor. Without even knowing it, the client will begin to deploy this energy to activate their body in naturally health-giving ways.\n\nStep Ten – The whole story\nThis is the best bit. No more precepts, no practical tips, no psychological tweaking. Just a story. And the unconscious mind loves nothing more than a story. So as your client drifts off into that other world that is seemingly so far from the everyday, the hypnotic metaphorical blueprint of all the patterns that have been learned during the programme is laid down in the unconscious mind.\n\nThey don’t have to do anything. Except listen and enjoy.\n\nThe Ten Steps to become a Non-Smoker hypnosis scripts make a therapeutic programme that no therapist will want to be without. You can be confident that you are using a tried-and-tested method, that you can use in its entirety or blend with your own approach. You can deliver it to your client in one extended session, or break it up over several days – try it out and see what works best for you.\n\nBonus Script\nWhen you buy the smoking cessation package, you will receive the ‘Quit Smoking – Stay Stopped‘ script which is designed to prevent relapse. One use for this could be to record it onto tape or CD and give it to your client as a ‘booster’ session as part of their smoking cessation program.\n\nWe also offer an indepth tutor supported home study course to hone your therapist skills to work with clients against cigarettes. This comprehensive course contains both the hypnosis audio and hypnosis scripts detailed on this page, plus 5 audio lectures, client session videos, workbook and many other insightful, invaluable resources.\n\nThere are no reviews yet.",

"Four crime-solving friends face off against a killer in San Francisco in the Women's Murder Club novel that started James Patterson's thrilling series. Each one holds a piece of the puzzle: Lindsay Boxer is a homicide inspector in the San Francisco Police Department, Claire Washburn is a medical examiner, Jill Bernhardt is an assistant D.A., and Cindy Thomas just started working the crime desk of the San Francisco Chronicle. But the usual procedures aren't bringing them any closer to stopping the killings. So these women form a Women's Murder Club to collaborate outside the box and pursue the case by sidestepping their bosses and giving each other a hand. The four women develop intense bonds as they pursue a killer whose crimes have stunned an entire city. Working together, they track down the most terrifying and unexpected killer they have ever encountered--before a shocking conclusion in which everything they knew turns out to be devastatingly wrong.\nFull of the breathtaking drama and unforgettable emotions for which James Patterson is famous, 1st to Die is the start of the #1 New York Times bestselling series of crime thrillers."

"Arrival flight at VENICE MARCO POLO airport., meeting with the guide,transfer to HOTEL **** in Castelfranco Veneto and check- in.\n\n14.30: Meeting with the guide in hotel and departure by bus to\n\nVilla Cornaro was mainly constructed in 1553-1554, with additional work into the 1590s, after Palladio had died, for Giorgio Cornaro, younger son of a wealthy family.\n\nIt represents one of the most important examples of a Renaissance villa during this time frame. The north façade (illustrated) has an innovative projecting central portico-loggia that is a flexible living space out of the sun and open to cooling breezes. The interior space is a harmonious arrangement of the strictly symmetrical floor plans on which Palladio insisted without exception.\n\nThe building of Villa Emo was the culmination of a long-lasting project of the patrician Emo family of the Republic of Venice to develop its estates at Fanzolo. The Emo family’s central interest was at first in the cultivation of their newly acquired land. Not until two generations had passed did Leonardo di Alvise Emo commission Palladio to build a new villa in Fanzolo. We unfortunately do not have any firm dates for the commencement of the new building: the years 1555 or 1558 have been proposed.\n\nBack to hotel and dinner in restaurant at walking distance.\n\n8.30: departure by bus for full day guided tour of Vicenza, meeting with the guide directly in Vicenza and beginning of private visit of historical centre including the beautiful Teatro Olimpico.\n\nTime at disposal for free lunch.\n\nMeeting with the guide and transfer to\n\nThe Palazzina and the Foresteria have frescoes by Giambattista and Giandomenico Tiepolo, hired in 1757 by Giustino Valmarana. The Villa takes its name from the statues of the 17 stone dwarfs, originally placed in the garden, now on the walls surrounding the house.\n\nVilla La Rotonda is a Renaissance villa designed by Andrea Palladio. The proper name is Villa Almerico Capra Valmarana, but it is also known as La Rotonda. The name “Capra” derives from the Capra brothers, who completed the building after it was ceded to them in 1592. Along with other works by Palladio, the building is conserved as part of the World Heritage Site “City of Vicenza and the Palladian Villas of the Veneto”\n\n8.30: departure by bus for the full day guided tour of Riviera del Brenta and Padua, meeting with the guide directly at VILLA FOSCARI MALCONTENTA in Mira and beginning of the visit.\n\nVilla Foscari is a patrician villa in Mira, along the Brenta canal, designed by the Italian architect Andrea Palladio. It is also known as La Malcontenta, a nickname which it received when the spouse of one of the Foscaris was locked up in the house because she allegedly didn’t live up to her conjugal duty.\n\nVilla Pisani is the name shared by a number of villas commissioned by the patrician Pisani family of Venice. However, Villa Pisani usually refers to a large, late baroque villa at Stra on the Brenta Canal. It was begun in the early 18th century for Alvise Pisani, the most prominent member of the Pisani family, who was appointed doge in 1735.\n\nTransfer to PADOVA and time at disposal for free lunch.\n\n15.00-18.30: Meeting with the guide and tour of historical centre and Scrovegni Chapel.\n\nPadua is one of the oldest and at the same time most dynamic cities in Italy. In the elegant city centre, rich of wonderful examples of medieval, Renaissance and modern architecture, visitors feel a peculiar atmosphere mixing urban lifestyle and ancient traditions.\n\nCity of arcades, with its medieval aspect characterized by old gates, walls and bastions.\nCity of frescoes, the frescoes by Giotto in the Scrovegni Chapel, by Giusto de’ Menabuoi in the Baptistery next to the Cathedral, by Andrea Mantegna in the Eremitani Church or other masterpieces such as the Angels by Guarieto.\n\nCity of waterways, with its canals where tourist navigation on river is still an important activity nowadays. Transfer back to hotel.\n\n09.15: Meeting with the guide directly at the parking.\n\nTransfer by private boat to CHIESA DEL REDENTORE and visit.\n\nThis church is considered one of Andrea Palladio’s works or art in religious architecture. It was commissioned by the Venetian Republic’s senate in 1577 as a memorial church consecrated to Christ the Redeemer in thanks for the end of the plague in 1576.\n\nThe work represents one of the principle Renaissance works of art. It was finished in 1592 after the death of its famous architect, Palladio. It was faithfully carried to fruition by Antonio da Ponte\n\nCHIESA SAN GIORGIO MAGGIORE WITH THE MAGIFICENT VIEW FROM THE BELLTOWER\n\nThe Island of San Giorgio Maggiore is located in Venice Lagoon, opposite the Basin of St. Mark’s, just a few dozen meters from the island of Giudecca. At the time of the first doges it was called Cypress Island, had a few people who worked in a salt mine and a windmill and already there was built a small church (790 ad) dedicated to San Giorgio The construction of the Church of San Giorgio (the one that can still be admired), began in 1566 and was designed in Neoclassical style by the great architect Andrea Palladio, and continued until his death (1580), then continued under the direction of Longhena that led it to completion in 1610.\n\nTransfer by boat to Saint Mark’s Square where the group will enter to the Basilica (with “skip the line” to avoid queue).\n\n17.00: Transfer to airport for return flight."

"Today, however, when parts for cars\n\nAlthough Europe and North America are separated by a huge distance, it does not interfere with cooperation. And this one scrolls on many levels. One of them may be the automotive market. American cars are increasingly appearing on European streets. Why? Perhaps this is due to the fact that cars produced in the United States are characterized by powerful engines, comfortable equipment, and a solid and original construction.\nAnd what if your car needs repair? Only a few decades ago, the issue of repair could have been problematic. Today, however, when parts for cars from the USA can be bought in the country, repair is not a problem. On the Internet you can find a store that offers the highest quality car parts at an attractive price. What's more, these parts can be ordered online. So you don't have to travel kilometers to buy them. And when parts are already ordered, the matter of repair is just a matter of leaving the car with a good mechanic.",

"The attractiveness of the car you want to buy can be measured by various factors. One depends on their car being bought at a reasonable price, for others the most important will be a motor with high power, so that they can accelerate as much as possible. However, before you buy a car, do you think about the availability of spare parts that may be necessary in the event of a collision or just wear out of the old? It is worth thinking about it and consider it before buying a car. After all, car parts from the USA are much less available on the Polish market than parts for European or Polish cars. American cars definitely have a quality advantage, but not necessarily a price one. While it is possible to buy such a car at a good favorable price, and even at a very attractive discount, and the cost of spare parts are already more expensive and can be dizzy if you have not thought about them before.\n\nA car is a bottomless moneybox\n\nCar repair is often a very expensive thing and we can be surprised by the final bill that will be issued to us by a car mechanic after such a renovation. Especially parts for cars from the USA or imported from other distant and exotic directions can be very expensive and sometimes not at our expense. If we pay very high costs for replacing parts in the car, maybe it is a sign to replace it with a model with more accessible and cheaper parts. The car is a bottomless money box. Everyone who has his four wheels and a driving license knows this. If something breaks down in the car, it must be repaired immediately, otherwise our road safety is questionable. American cars break down like any other, and getting parts for them may sometimes be a miracle. The cost of bringing parts to the car from the US is large and there is no doubt here, it is known why this is the case. A car mechanic also has to study a lot to find the right replacements.\n\nOne of them is the current availability\n\nImporting a car from overseas still seems to be a very interesting and attractive option for all those who are thinking about buying a new car. Not only private individuals but also car dealers benefit from this solution. However, as you can guess during such an operation, there may be several pitfalls that we have to watch out for. One of them is the current availability of parts for cars from the USA. Admittedly, as in Europe as in the United States, some models are more popular, while others are slightly less. Therefore, when we import American cars, either for private use or for trade, let's do some research first, where and how quickly we will be able to get individual parts for them. Of course, it should be noted here that, in general, the growing popularity of American cars on Polish roads has caused that an increasing number of stores with parts are equipped with such elements. However, when it comes to the prices of individual components, they are usually not very excessive, taking into account, of course, some additional payments for their import."

"Ray Felix is ranked 81st all-time in the NBA with 8.9 rebounds per game. Drafted second overall by the Baltimore Bullets in 1953, the 6-foot-11 center was the 1953-54 rookie of the year after averaging 13.3 rebounds, which ended up being his career best.\n\nFelix spent the last 2½ seasons of his nine-year NBA career with the Lakers after being traded by the New York Knicks for Dick Garmaker in January 1960.\n\nHis best statistical season with the Lakers was his first, when he averaged 7.2 rebounds per game (third best on the team). By his final season, in 1961-62, his average had dropped to 5.9 rebounds (seventh on the team).\n\nStill, the Lakers had plenty of respect for Felix, who was a supervisor at a shelter for the homeless in Harlem, N.Y., when he died of a heart attack in July 1991. He was 60.\n\n\"He was one of the first big men,\" Lakers teammate Tom Hawkins said in The Times’ obituary of Felix. “Ray didn't have the speed or mobility or jumping ability of some of the younger guys, but he could still give you some good, aggressive play. He didn't back down from anybody.\""

"By no means does this list represent what I think should win, but what I think will win. That being said, some of these picks totally deserve to take home the golden statue.\n\nI predict a big night for “Slumdog Millionaire” because it’s the obvious choice and the academy almost always goes for the obvious choice. I’ve seen three of the five films in competition this year and I liked “Slumdog” the most, but that isn’t saying much. It’s more like I hated it the least. I’ll save the juicy details for the review I plan on writing if and when it comes out in South Korea.",

"It’s 1964. President Kennedy was just assassinated and the Civil Rights Act has been passed. The times-they-are-a-changin’. In a parish in the Bronx, the lone black student struggles to fit in with his classmates, but the kind and gentle priest (Philip Seymour Hoffman) takes him under his wing. Before long, the school principal and head nun (Merryl Streep) suspects him of molesting the child and makes it her mission to expose him despite lacking proof. At times poignant and evocative, “Doubt” works as a cautionary tale against the dangers of excessive confidence.\n\nTHE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON\n\n“The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” takes the spectator on a journey throughout the life of a man who ages backwards. Benjamin Button (Brad Pitt) is born a decrepit old codger whose mother dies in childbirth and whose father abandons him on the front steps of a retirement home (how ironic Mr. Screenwriter!). As time goes by, he realizes that he’s been dealt the fantastical fate of growing young."

"With all the stuff that I do, I love pushing the boundaries of what exactly can be done with a given technology. Anyone who has been stalking this site for an extended period of time may remember my attempt to use AR to make a virtual RSS feed watch. This idea died off about a year ago, when Microsoft HoloLens swooped in and stole my idea. Thanks guys. Regardless, that didn’t really end my interest in VR/AR, and I was still interested in doing something amazing with the tech. There was just one problem: nobody in the mechanical engineering field will care at all about a virtual reality game, so being pulled 5 ways to Sunday, VR dev got pushed under the rug for almost 2 years.\n\nUntil one day, Google came to the Virginia Tech campus and teamed up with the Entrepreneur club (which I do a lot with) to make a VR video game using Google cardboard. Now, android app development is far, far, FAR, from my specialty, so of course, I just had to try it.\n\nAs a senior, I didn’t have much trouble finding freshman engineers to join in, and our team consisted of myself as team lead, a mechanical engineer, two computer engineers, a graphic designer, and a computer scientist. Aside from myself, the rest of the team consisted of freshman students.\n\nThe challenge was simple: we had six weeks to develop a virtual reality video game and demo it. Not too hard, but of course, I couldn’t make it easy. Being team lead for the additive manufacturing competition, as well as 2 hackathon teams, numerous class projects, boy scouts, leadership summits, etc. has made me a tempered leader at this point, and one of the most important leadership axioms is to pull as much effort out of your human resources as you can without expending them. If its too easy, they will get bored. Too hard, they will give up. So how do you keep freshman programmers interested in a 6 week project? You make it tough.\n\nAfter some brainstorming, we decided we wanted a horror/fantasy game. Looking around at other games in the industry, there are a lot of cardboard apps, and a lot of desktop games, but the mobile games don’t really use any sort of hand tracking or controllers like the Rift and the Vive do. That sounded like an interesting question we could come up with an awnser to. Using the same library I did for the RSS watch, we made a shield blow up in virtual space, that could be manipulated by hand and used to block attacks in virtual space. As if that wasn’t enough, we hooked up an electroencephalograph in order to read the focus of the player, so they did more damage the more focused they are.\n\nAs for how the hardware actually works, it can be subdivided into 3 separate subsystems: AR, interfacing, and bluetooth.\n\nThe AR side’s operating system is pretty straightforward. Using the view from the camera, unity can calculate its orientation and distance to generate a sword or a shield on top of the icon, which can be used to interface with the world. It was a bit complicated because the library that was used, NYARtoolkit, was made and developed in japan, so much of its documentation was in Japanese, and google translate only goes so far. Why did we pick this over the English, better documented base library ARtoolkit? Well, NYARtoolkit is pure C#, and doesn’t use plugins. More on that nightmare later.\n\nInterfacing was my specialty, because I do a fair amount of microcontroller and Arduino work, I designed and built the physical controller in Fusion 360…",

"… and attached knurled nut threads, a simple joystick, a battery pick, logic level shifters, an HC-05 bluetooth chip, the AR tracker icon, a microUSB connector, analog output accelerometer, and two buttons and wired them up to the Arduino. To get brainwave data, we used a mindflex headset. The actual game itself is dead at this point, but the headsets sometimes float around on ebay. We drilled a hole into the side of the headset, and tapped into the TX and GND pins of the mindflex’s Neurosky chip (Which actually transmits straight serial. Who would have guessed?). This is wired to a Female USB connector, and connected to the controller. The Arduino itself reads all of these sensors and generates a string of csv data, which looks something like:\n\nThe numbers are, in order, EEG connection, Focus, Meditation, x axis, y axis (from -100 to 100), trigger 1 button, trigger 2 button, button on the stick, and acceleration higher than 2g (for sword swings). Focus and Meditation are two values from the EEG produced by black magic inside the neurosky chip. They are consciously controllable, but other than that we don’t know how they are made.\n\nAll that is spit over serial to the Bluetooth HC-05 that the android phone can read, and translated into the game using a Bluetooth library. I don’t know too much about how this part was done, but it managed to be completed, so long as we know the UUID of the HC-05.\n\nAnd another note on plugins: they all want to be in charge, so the VR plugin provided by google would complain about collisions with the Bluetooth plugin. Our l33t h4xx0r programming lead managed to get them all to a metastable equilibrium, so that they both worked, at least for what we were doing.\n\nThe 6 weeks blew by pretty fast. After we had the goal in mind, we progressed as fast as we could with our full schedules. We had a couple of clashes on what we all thought the game should be or do, but that’s to be expected from any development team. Of the 24 teams formed at the kickoff, only 8 remained to demo at the end.\n\nThe judges, mostly googlers, but also a few professors and grad students in the VR field came around to look at our project and critique it. What they said we mostly expected from the get-go: It was a cool idea, but no one would buy an app that uses this because the hardware itself costs around $50 to produce.\n\nIn the end, we didn’t win best overall prize ☹, but we did manage to walk away with the award for most technically challenging from google, which is no small feat.\n\nAnd oh yeah, and we made it to the front of the Roanoke times!",
null,
"When making code or games (or any product really), the most important thing is how it feels to the user. We, as engineers, we really focused on the “how” of this, as opposed to the “who”. While all the technology did indeed work, the headset was uncomfortable, the controller gave me blisters after extended use, and the game itself was slow, and admittedly a bit buggy. It has a long way to go before becoming a viable product, but for a proof of concept, it preformed spectacularly.\n\nA good experience in leadership, but since game design is so unbelievably far outside the scope of my expertise, this is a skill I feel that no company will really care about from a mechanical engineer. I mainly did this for the leadership experience, as well as the desire to see the project through to completion, as well as the interdisciplinary work that goes with it. However, the end product is far from an end product, and is more of a prototype. That being said, a leader looks after his team, and I believe I did a good job of pushing the rest of the team to do more than they thought they could, and for the CS and CPE majors, this is a huge stepping stone for them, much more than it is for me."

"The Eagles would like to create competition for the backup quarterback spot behind Carson Wentz. However, their offseason ambitions may be spoiled by the limited market in free agency.\n\nWith Nick Foles now in Jacksonville, the Eagles’ incumbent backup quarterback is Nate Sudfeld, who is a restricted free agent. While the Eagles placed a second-round tender on Sudfeld, the team would like to challenge the fourth-year quarterback.\n\nSudfeld has played in just three games during his career, completing 20-of-25 passes for 156 yards and a touchdown. While he has flashed plenty of potential during the preseason, that may not be enough for the Eagles to hand him the backup quarterback job.\n\nSpending a high draft pick on a backup would be a poor allocation of resources, so the Eagles will probably look to find Sudfeld’s competition on the free agent market. However, the team’s ability to lure a talented backup may be hindered due to the squad’s clear investment in Sudfeld.\n\nHere are six veteran quarterback options that the Eagles could consider:\n\nThoughts: Bortles failed as a former first-round pick but could rehabilitate his value as a backup to Wentz. With Wentz dealing with back-to-back season-ending injuries, Bortles could be enticed to be his insurance. Bortles has similar mobility to Wentz and could work on his passing prowess with Eagles coach Doug Pederson, who is an offensive guru and former quarterback.\n\nThoughts: Fitzpatrick is the most experienced player on this list. He actually defeated the Eagles last season with the Buccaneers. On top of that recent success, Fitzpatrick has a history and relationship with DeSean Jackson.\n\nThoughts: Smith has come to terms with being a backup. He is athletically gifted and has plenty of playing experience, which could make him appealing competition for Sudfeld. If he is comfortable with being a third-string quarterback, it may be worth the risk.\n\nThoughts: McCarron was recently cut by the Raiders. While he hasn’t shown off his talent in recent years, McCarron had a few notable moments with the Bengals. McCarron could see this as an opportunity to get his career back on track. Pederson may be a strong influence on the former Alabama quarterback.",
null,
"Thoughts: Glennon is the poor man’s Foles. He is a longtime backup who has had the occasional success as a starter. While he isn’t the strongest candidate on this list, he is a signal caller with experience. He also doesn’t seem to mind being a backup quarterback.\n\nThoughts: Siemien had his run as a starter in Denver but it didn’t last long. However, he has the ability to be a serviceable backup. He also may be inclined to sign with the Eagles, as he could probably deal with being a third-string quarterback at this point in his career. Best case scenario, he beats out a quarterback who has much less experience."

"The fifth round of CONMEBOL World Cup qualifying is set to take place this weekend, and Leo Messi and Argentina are hoping this is the round where they claim first place in the standings.\n\nArgentina will look to overtake Uruguay in the table this weekend, but the albiceleste will need a result at home against Ecuador in arguably the biggest match of the fifth round of Conmebol World Cup qualifying.\n\nEcuador come in having won two of their first three games, and they will try to jump up from their fourth-place position with a result against head coach Alejandro Sabello's stacked side that includes the likes of Messi, Gonzalo Higuain, Sergio Aguero and Angel di Maria.\n\nHere's a look at the rest of the Round 5 matches in Conmebol World Cup qualifying:\n\nVenezuela have enjoyed a strong start to World Cup qualifying and the third-place Vinotinto is dreaming of taking part of the World Cup in 2014. But the Venezuelans have a tough task on Saturday, as they travel to take on first-place Uruguay in Montevideo. If Venezuela is hoping to get a result, centerback Oswaldo Viscarrondo will need to continue to be a rock at the back, especially since he will likely face the leading Conmebol qualifying goal-scorer in Luis Suarez.\n\nSlow starts to World Cup qualifying have been the norm for Peru in recent history, and they will need a result at home against Colombia on Sunday to avoid that this cycle. Peru is currently second-to-last in the standings, and a win is necessary to avoid falling further behind the rest of the pack. Making things more difficult for Peru manager Sergio Markarian is that he has a rash of injuries to deal with (including knocks to Claudio Pizarro and Juan Manuel Vargas), and that could open the door for in-form striker Radamel Falacao and the Colombians to pull out a result in Lima.\n\nBolivia's chances of reaching the 2014 World Cup in Brazil are currently not looking good, but a win versus Chile on Saturday would change that. Last-place Bolivia have just one point from four matches, and a victory at home in La Paz will be necessary in order to keep themselves within striking distance of a qualifying spot. Chile (currently in fifth place) should prove a tough challenge for Bolivia, however, due to them boasting attacking talents like Humberto Suazo and Alexis Sanchez.\n\nWhich of these matches are you most looking forward to? Expecting Messi and Argentina to beat Ecuador? Do you see Venezuela pulling out a result in Uruguay?"

"Air Ambulance paramedic Jason Rosborough from Eglinton who will become he first person to scale down the Tower Museum to raise funds for the life saving service.\n\nAn Air Ambulance paramedic from Co Derry is set to scale to great heights in a bid to raise funds for the life-saving service.\n\nJason Rosborough, a Helicopter Emergency Medical Service (HEMS) paramedic from Eglinton, will become the first person to abseil down Derry's Tower Museum when completes a charity abseil next month.\n\nSpeaking to the County Derry Post ahead of the March 1 event, the 34 year-old said he decided to run the fundraiser after being approached about doing the dare-devil task.\n\nHe said: “I was aware that there was an abseil happening in Derry at the Tower Museum and as I’m from Eglinton, so I’m a Derry man and I was asked if I was interested in coming along.\n\n“I’ll be first down – if the rope will hold me! I don’t know how high the Tower Museum is but it’s a fair height when you’re up there looking down at it.”\n\n“The Air Ambulance is a charity and relies on donations to keep the service running - or flying, I should say - and there are a number of events that happen throughout the province.\"\n\nAir Ambulance NI partners with the NI Ambulance Service and provides the HEMS for Northern Ireland.\n\nIn order to maintain the service, Air Ambulance NI must raise around £2 million per year, something Jason says requires constant attention.\n\n“It costs about £2 million per year to keep the ambulance running,” he said.\n\nJason is also a paramedic for the Motorcycle Union of Ireland (MCUI) and has delivered critical care at a number of road racing events. It is something about which the Eglinton man is fiercely passionate about.\n\n“Growing up, one thing that was always my passion has been road racing,\" he said. \"I absolutely loved it and still do.\n“In 2010, I walked away from a career in engineering and joined the Ambulance Service and once I was qualified as a paramedic an opportunity came up to join the medical team.\n\n“It was a no brainer because I love motorbike racing, I love being a paramedic and this gave me a chance to combine the two.”\nThe Air Ambulance has come to be associated with road racing since the late John Hynes publicly advocated for its introduction and Jason says its impact since has been vital to the provision of critical care in Northern Ireland.\n\nThe 34 year-old: “Since the HEMS service came into Northern Ireland it has made a huge difference. It has increased the level of care and lessened the ‘postcode lottery’ effect of delivering critical care.”\n\nTo register for the abseil, visit the Air Ambulance website at www.airambulanceni.org or call the charity on 028 9262 2677.\nRegistration costs £40 and each participant is tasked with raising at least £55 to help the team continue\nto provide this vital service."

"On Tuesday, January 24th about 20 people met at the Red Cube down by Liberty Plaza to march in solidarity with the People’s Library to One Police Plaza to retrieve five children’s books (a few of which were Spanish-English language books) the NYPD took from librarians back in the beginning of December. Many of us thought the trek would probably take a while due to police bureaucracy but none of us for once thought we’d walk away empty handed. After all we had the receipts. And we had one of the “unidentified white male” librarians (me) that were in the park that evening and are in the park on a regular basis. Long story short, we went to One Police Plaza, I was the only person allowed into the building as I was the one with the receipt. My fellow occupier cohorts were lucky to have stayed behind, as the NYPD took my photo using facial recognition software upon entering the building, they made copies of my ID, they radioed to officers throughout the building, “WARNING: THERE IS AN OCCUPIER ENTERING THE BUILDING.” At every turn officers commanded me to stop, then allowed me to continue on my journey, an eerie continual reminder that I was being watched and I was in the heart of the police state.\n\nFinally I made it to the bottom of One Police Plaza and waited to meet the clerk working the Reclaim Property desk. Once I finally presented my papers, the clerk explained the computer was slow as molasses and I should expect to wait awhile. Eight minutes later the clerk looked up and asked me who the books belonged to.\n“They’re everybody’s… I mean they’re mine,” I replied…. the clerk explained that the cases information had popped up! Then glared as she told me I couldn’t take the books, “since you have the invoice receipts, it suggests the books probably do belong to you, but because the officer wrote on the paperwork ‘unidentified white male’ we can’t give them to you. We just want to make sure the books go to the right person.” –Oh I understood!\n\n“But”, I retorted, “I’ve been heavily involved with the People’s Library. It’s really easy to prove this fact…”\n\nThe clerk looked up and gave me a long stern look before further explaining, “We just want to make sure the books get to the rightful owner. This invoice suggests the books were left on the bench and that they don’t necessarily belong to anybody. Let me tell you what I’m going to do… I’m going to contact the officer that collected the books and we will send him a copy of your ID and if he indeed validates your claim, you can collect the books, okay.”\n\nFrom behind the clerk I heard a loud cackle, and then a detective appeared and exclaimed in a heavy Brooklyn accent, “Like an NYPD Officer is going to remember someone’s face!”\n\nAs oddly and quickly as the detective appeared, they disappeared. The clerk acted like nothing happened, smiled and asked for my ID. I presented my ID, realizing this was the third time during the trip NYPD recorded my information. Once my information was AGAIN collected, the clerk gave me the officers contact information, suggested I too try to contact the officer, she explained the officer was from the Bron, the NYPD has been deploying officers from every Borough to watch the park, then again she gave me a long cold look as she handed me back the paperwork.\n\nOn 12/05/2011 at 10:44pm The NYPD gave a librarian the invoice for the five children’s books seized:\n“AT TPO UNK MALE WHITE DID PLACE THESE BOOKS ON A PARK BENCH I/O OF ZUCOTTI PARK AND REFUSED TO PICK THEM UP. THE ABOVE ITEMS ARE BEING VOUCHERED FOR SAFEKEEPING.”\n\nA few of our librarians were in the park that evening with a handful of books with them. By the beginning of December, the People’s Library librarians understood loud and clear that NYPD and Brookfield Security did not want to see books in the park. Two days after the park was violently raided and everything was cleared out, fifteen officers came and took away around 200 copies of books that people had brought into the park in solidarity. Every day after that, Brookfield Security and NYPD changed their story, one day they’d let us bring in carts of books, the next day they’d let us set up on the bench, the next day no books would be permitted, the next day we could put books on the tables, a vicious continuum of police state brutality. Instead of NYPD officers ever acting supportive of our attempts to give out free books, they continually used fear tactics and changed their story making it impossible for us to ever feel safe (when that is supposed to be the reason our tax payer dollars ensure they’re able to support their families). So on December 5th, a few of the OWS librarians were in the park with a small collection of books, 5 children books were on the bench that used to house The People’s Library. Officers approached a librarian and threatened arrest and the removal of the books. When the librarian backed off, the officer took the books. An hour later officers approached librarians that were in the park and delivered us the invoice to retrieve the books.\n\nCurrently I’m working on validating myself to the NYPD so I can get these books back. Either I will be validated and they’ll give me back the books or we’re going to need to gather a large crowd and go cause a big scene in front of One Police Plaza.\n\nThis is America. Books must never be imprisoned! You can watch the action on Jan. 24th, 2012 to get the books back on this livestream link."

"Coinbase, one of the U.S’s leading U.S. cryptocurrency exchanges, is set to expand its presence. But surprisingly, the company plans to craft its position in India (initially in Hyderabad), a country with an uncertain regulatory for the digital currency.\n\nThis business step-up that will commence from Hyderabad will come with a bucket of services that include IT, software development, engineering, & customer support. And this is the reason on March 25, Coinbase announced that it’s looking to accommodate India’s IT professionals. Alas! Coinbase’s careers portal reflected no new jobs in India. Besides India, Coinbase has also announced that it will hire people in the Philippines, Ireland, Canada, Japan, Singapore, and the U.K to spread its wings.\n\nThis news came when the country is still in dilemma over the use of digital currency, and its lawmakers are planning to criminalize the transaction related to crypto-assets by bringing a bill in the parliament. However, Nirmala Sitharaman, the country’s finance minister, refuted these claims a few weeks ago.\n\nBut she also said that the RBI will soon announce statements regarding the central bank-issued digital currency (CBDC), thereby hinting that the country’s upcoming regulations for crypto-assets will be crafted to highlight its CBDC. As per MCA notification, companies need to showcase profit and losses transactions related to crypto-assets. These rules are applicable from the upcoming financial year, 2021-22. The question that is arising in everyone’s mind – How will the Indian government react to the presence of one of the largest exchanges in the world – Coinbase?\n\nCoinbase that is expected to do an IPO via a direct listing in the following month on private markets is expected its surge its shares to over $100 billion. Currently, the company’s shares stand at $343.58. Coinbase provides a window for the users (over 43 million globally) to sell & buy cryptocurrencies, like Ethereum, XRP, Bitcoin, Litecoin, etc if the company succeeds in setting up a business presence in India, it will boost the country’s economy.\n\nIn addition, to hire talent in India and start operations, Coinbase has also supported many Indian startups. For instance, the company’s investment arm Coinbase Ventures in December last year invested in CoinDCX an Indian cryptocurrency exchange in $13.5 Mn Series B round."

"Little did we know, but DJ Hanzel was the hero we all needed in these strange hours.\n\nIt has been a few years since we’ve really heard from Dillon Francis‘ deeper alter ego, DJ Hanzel. Though now, with the quarantine blues in full effect, Francis saw hit to bring his satyrical side project back for an hour-long stream of some tasty house grooves from behind Hanzel’s signature black-out wayfarers.\n\nAfter an interview series, guest mixes on Diplo & Friends and BBC One, and an official release on Mad Decent, Hanzel had gone radio silent in recent years. Though now, the “Anxiety” producer has resurfaced, merely to remind us all to go “one deeper,” and if the title of the new mix serves any indication, perhaps he’ll be around to stay this time with additional mix installments to follow. In the meantime, turn down the lights, throw on some black, and head down the rabbit hole with DJ Hanzel (starts at 31:00)."

"A Corona father of five children died last week when he fell 29 floors at a construction site in Lower Manhattan. Juan Chonillo, 44, was pronounced dead at the scene last week.\n\nThe Ecuadorian-born carpenter was installing molds in which to pour concrete when he lost his balance and fell, according to fire officials. He was wearing a safety harness that was not properly fastened, authorities said.\n\nThe Department of Buildings said Chonillo’s death was the seventh at a New York City construction site this year. In 2015 and 2016, there were 12 deaths at construction sites in each year, according to the DOB.\n\n“As the construction death epidemic predictably claims another worker’s life, I am furious that nothing has changed since the last time, or the time before that,” state Assemblyman Francisco Moya (D-Jackson Heights) said. “My workers safety legislation, ‘Carlos’ Law,’ is named after yet another Ecuadorian immigrant in my district who lost his life on a construction site, and today reminds us that we’ve learned nothing from Carlos’ tragic story.”\n\nMoya’s bill was named for Carlos Moncayo, who died in 2015. It was approved in the Assembly, but failed to pass in the GOP-contolled Senate.\n\nOn the same day Chonillo died, two other electrical workers fell Sept. 21 from their boom lift in a separate incident, killing one and sending another to the hospital with head trauma.\n\n“It’s beyond overdue for us to change the system that has so far failed to bring justice to these workers’ families, and it is unconscionable not to act as the cycle continues,” Moya said. “Juan Chonillo was like so many hard- working immigrants from my district. He worked tirelessly to put food on the table for his family and, whether he knew it or not, put his life at risk just by stepping on a non-union work site where most of these accidents occur. Although Juan Chonillo wore a harness, that harness wasn’t tethered to anything. It wasn’t enough that Juan was certified, it didn’t matter that he had always been a careful and deliberate worker. What cost him his life was careless management that decided to move a crane without ensuring their workers were properly fastened.”\n\nCarlos’ Law would make managers or developers liable to a class E or D felony if responsible for the severe injury or death of their worker. In addition, a conviction would include a $500,000 fine.\n\n“We can no longer go on calling these accidents when we know for sure they occur like clockwork,” Moya said. “There is no more debate left. To my colleagues in Albany: Either you support Carlos’ Law and convicting careless developers who put their workers in harm’s way, or you condone letting them get away with murder.”\n\nMeanwhile, the City Council unanimously passed a controversial bill Wednesday that will require construction workers to undergo at least 40 hours of safety training. The legislation known as 1447, has its critics among developers and the real estate industry who argued the bill would favor union labor and stall construction across the city.\n\n“This vote means that New York City hard hats will get the safety training they need for one of our city’s most dangerous jobs and that will help get them home to their families at night and keep construction sites safer for everyone,” Mayor Bill de Blasio said."

"(Brooklyn, NY) — After a very competitive first three quarters, the Cleveland Cavaliers (47-27) eventually fell to the Brooklyn Nets (31-40) by a score of 106-98 on Friday night at the Barclays Center.\n\nThe Cavs took a little step backwards on Friday night, as they were unable to build on a highly impressive 111-89 thrashing of the Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday night at the FedExForum.\n\nWith the Cavs and Nets tied at 79 apiece at the end of the third quarter, Cleveland was unable to gain a lead during the final 12 minutes. This was a huge win for Brooklyn, as they are currently one of a few teams in a logjam for the Eastern Conference’s final two playoff spots.\n\n“We executed,” said Brooklyn Nets head coach Lionel Hollins after his team’s victory. “We kept scoring throughout the course of the game. Big victory. Home victory.”\n\nNets shooting guard Joe Johnson and center Brook Lopez both led the way for Brooklyn in scoring with 20 points each. Johnson added a team-high nine assists and a dagger three pointer late in the game, while Lopez nabbed nine rebounds on the night.\n\nBrooklyn was very efficient with their players that came off the bench, as the Nets had three players score in double figures. Bojan Bogdanovic (18 points and four rebounds), Jarrett Jack (16 points, five assists, four rebounds and two steals) and Alan Anderson (13 points and five rebounds) all came off the bench to score in double figures, as the Nets’ bench outscored the Cavs’ bench 54-21 in Friday’s game.\n\nOn the night for the Cavs, Kyrie Irving led all scorers with 26 points to go along with his three assists and two blocked shots, while LeBron James added 24 points, nine assists, five rebounds and a whopping five steals. Kevin Love, who was the only other Cavalier to score in double figures, contributed 18 points and seven rebounds before he fouled out in the fourth quarter.\n\n“The game was nip and tuck the whole way,” said Hollins. “The key was Brook defending Love in the fourth quarter.”\n\nAfter the Cavs scored a high number of points in the first two quarters, they still trailed the Nets 57-56 going into halftime. However, it was a below-average final 12 minutes for the Cavs, as the team finished the night a dismal eight of 30 from behind the three-point line.\n\nIn his debut with the Nets after he signed a 10-day contract earlier Friday, former Cavaliers power forward Earl Clark came into the game in the third quarter to score seven points in just 12 minutes of action.\n\n“Brookyln got some contribution from Earl Clark, surprisingly, who just came to them and made some big baskets,” remarked Cavs head coach David Blatt following the loss.\n\nUp next on their schedule, the Cavs return home to face the lowly Philadelphia 76ers (18-55) on Sunday at Quicken Loans Arena. The game is scheduled to tip off shortly after 4:30 pm ET, while the Cavs will play six of their remaining eight regular season games at the Q."

"House of Netherhorror was established by producers Jan Doense and Herman Slagter with the sole purpose of (co-)producing low to medium budget Dutch and international horror films.\n\nThe four-hundred year old De Witte House stands brooding on its Amsterdam canal, waiting... When Robin Taylor accepts the offer to take part in an art restoration project at the De Witte House, she does not realize that she will be plunged into a terrifying maelstrom of malevolent forces and traumas well buried beneath her busy life. For the mysterious organizer of the project has brought her here for a dark purpose; as a sacrifice to his master, the great Floris de Witte, who learned that an artist, if prepared to perform the necessary grisly tasks, can indeed live on in his work.",

"Posted at 20:44h in Addictions, In The News, Insights, Interventions by Andy Bhatti\nShare\n\nPeople are continuing to overdose on opioids in Alberta and the drug crisis is worsening by the day.\n\nAndy Bhatti, professional interventionist for Calgary and Vancouver, says with the increasing number of overdoses families need to get their loved ones help.\n\n“People are reaching out to interventionists like myself to bring their loved ones to British Columbia to get help. The wait time to receive help in Alberta is becoming longer every day. This needs to change.”\n\nWith the wait time becoming more apparent, Andy says he ends up bringing a lot of his Calgary and Alberta clients to British Columbia for treatment.\n\n“Bringing them to B.C. allows them to receive help sooner than later. The opioid crisis is especially bad in Calgary right now, which means if I can help addicted ones get clean sooner, maybe we can save some lives in Alberta.”",

"82% of deaths due to a fentanyl overdose were among males. Across both sexes, the age group with the highest number of deaths happened among people through the ages of 30-34.\n\nThe age number evens out a bit more in Alberta when talking about overdoses related to an opioid other than fentanyl. 49% of deaths were among males between the ages of 20-24, 30-34, 35-39 and 50-59. When it comes to women, the majority of deaths happened to those between the ages of 50-54.",

"In addition to fentanyl, the drug carfentanil is growing in popularity in Alberta.\n\nCarfentanil is a potent sedative that is used by veterinarians to tranquilize large animals. According to the Calgary Herald, it’s 100 times more toxic than fentanyl and 10,000 times more potent than morphine.\n\nThere have been 34 overdoses involving carfentanil in the first 20 weeks of 2017. Last year, there were 32 total deaths identified by authorities last year.\n\nAndy says it’s important to carry a Naloxone kit with you if either you or a loved one is addicted to drugs. Naloxone has the ability to reverse an overdose if used correctly and within the right time period.\n\nOn top of having this reversal kit, an intervention is suggested. Andy performs interventions and plans treatment options for Alberta residents and has been doing it within Calgary for more than five years.\n\nTo set up a free consultation, contact Andy Bhatti today."

"Let’s dispense with recounting the narrative details of George Miller’s fourth journey into the blasted world of ex-cop and expert wheelman, Max Rockatansky; nobody coming to this version is going to be a virgin. What we have here is the Black & Chrome Edition of Mad Max: Fury Road – allegedly Miller’s preferred version – which exchanges the original release’s searing desert ochres and stark blue skies for metallic monochrome, and to excellent effect. Miller’s preferred version? It just might be yours, too.\n\nIt must be said that this is not just Mad Max in black and white, an edit available to anyone who can find their TV remote. The Black & Chrome Edition is based off the “slash dupe” made available to the sound team for scoring and foley work, and the result is a colourless image where the “white” spaces seem almost to gleam like silver, and the edges of darker objects have the gritty buzz of hastily-scratched pencil work. Black and white film can look cold and sterile; this looks like oil on a hot engine.\n\nThe monochrome also allows the eye to pick out more subtle details – throughout the film, you’re noticing little bits of design that perhaps went unseen in all the noise and fury of the colour cut: tattoos and scarification, elements of heraldry and costume design, textures. The action – and whatever high-minded praise we might throw at Fury Road, it is still almost all action – is even more impactful and impressive. Seeing the stark white bodies of the War Boys slam into the ground when vehicle after vehicle is destroyed is incredible. The moment where Max swings by on a pole as the convoy explodes behind him is simply sublime.\n\nThere are trade-offs, of course. We lose the contrast of the Citadel’s aquaponics forest against the blighted wasteland around it, and we lose the gorgeous, oily orange and yellow flames and explosions that have been such a visual signature of the series to this point. But we gain so much more than we lose.\n\nLook, we’re already in the bag for Fury Road around these parts – we even named it the best Australian film of the 21st century. This new look only confirms it – Fury Road is a modern classic that will ride forever, shiny and chrome, on the highways of Valhalla. Audience reaction will determine whether the Black & Chrome Edition is definitive; we can only tell that it is essential.",

"Carrying the top weight at the Grand National is usually seen as a red light that a horse won’t win – but that doesn’t mean you should write them off completely.\n\nAfter all, the Grand National is full of surprises and there’s really no knowing who will pass the post first or even place in this show-stopping sporting event.\n\nBut has anyone ever won the Grand National carrying the top weight? Here, Paddy Power takes you through the history books to reveal which horses have fared best carrying the heaviest handicaps, in our latest ‘Demystifying Racing‘ guide…\n\nWeights at the Grand National explained\n\nEvery year the 40 horses competing in the Grand National are assessed by a handicapper, who determines the weight they must carry during the race. This is known as handicapping and is an integral part of National Hunt and Flat racing. The handicaps aim to level out the field so that even the gross outsider has a chance of winning a race – and the horse racing betting odds shift accordingly when a horse is carrying more weight.\n\nThe Grand National is a handicap race, so conditions are put on each horse to determine how much weight they will carry. The weight includes the jockey and their equipment, plus lead weights in the saddle if that still isn’t heavy enough.",
null,
"Grand National weights are calculated by the total weight of the jockey, equipment and additional lead weights (GETTY)\n\nThe current Grand National handicap stands at 11st 10lbs. You might see it written out as 11-10 on a horse racing race card. This weight has dropped over the years in order to help make the race safer and increase the competition – although it is sometimes criticised for not being heavy enough to handicap the elite stayers in racing.\n\nNo horse has won the Grand National carrying maximum weight since the drop to 11-10 in 2009. Many Clouds has come the closest, claiming victory in the 2015 race carrying 11-09.\n\nRed Rum was the last horse to win the Grand National carrying top weight. The iconic horse stormed to victory in the 1974 Grand National under Brian Fletcher to defend the title he won a year previous.\n\nRed Rum carried 12st that day, the top weight at the time, and because of that was priced out at 11/1 in the racing betting odds. Red Rum had won the 1973 race carrying just 10-05, having been the 9/1 joint favourite. Remarkably, the horses that finished second and third that year – Crisp and L’Escargot – each carried the full 12st.\n\nThere are four horses that have won the Grand National setting a joint-record for the heaviest winning handicap. Not surprisingly these all came before the max weight of 12 stone was introduced in the mid-1950s."

"Sajida Ayyup is a contributing writer for Rooted. She specifically…\n\nIt isn’t every day you discover a plant along your biking route swarming with butterflies. Stunned by the sight of a single plant hosting a family of reddish-orange winged insects, David O’Donnell, a self-taught naturalist from Clarence, N.Y., couldn’t help but stop and observe. All he knew was that those vibrant wings with black veins belonged to the monarch butterfly family. When he got closer, he noticed two caterpillars munching on the leaves of the unfamiliar plant, and in a rush of curiosity, plucked one of them and pedaled home. But the plant’s identity escaped him. With some research, he learned that Asclepias incarnata, more commonly known as swamp milkweed, exists as the only plant that hosts monarchs. “I went back and the whole plant was mowed to the ground,” O’Donnell says. “Everything was gone.” So he dug up the two-feet-wide root system and brought it home in hopes of reviving it.\n\nThat was 20 years ago. Since then, O’Donnell, now 65, has continued to plant and tend to the milkweeds in his garden, which he established in 1999 as the Eastern Monarch Butterfly Farm. Now, around 1,500 monarchs call it their home every year. After learning more about milkweeds and monarchs, O’Donnell embarked on a professional journey to raise awareness about the gradually depleting eastern monarch’s milkweed corridors in North America, the path they take when they migrate to the South during the winter and back to the North in the spring, and how to restore them. “A monarch butterfly is a messenger, and its disappearance is the message that we need to start coexisting with nature or we’re going to start losing not only things we love but things we need to survive,” O’Donnell says. Besides tending to both milkweeds and monarchs on his farm, he travels to different cities as an advocate and educates people about the eastern migration corridor. Although his farm is not open to the public, he sets up a table at his local farmers market every year as an extension of his campaign and sells milkweed seeds that are native to New York online.\n\nMany share O’Donnell’s long-standing concern for the winged creature. In 1993, the Center for Biological Diversity, an Arizona-based nonprofit working towards protecting endangered species, began surveying the population count of monarchs. Since the 1990s, monarchs have lost nearly 165 million acres of their habitat due to herbicide spraying. This was followed by the eastern monarch population dropping from one billion to 225 million, while the western monarch population plummeted from 1.2 million to fewer than 30,000. In 2014, the Center petitioned the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to protect monarchs under the Endangered Species Act. Some conservationists, like O’Donnell, are against this petition and don’t want monarchs to be listed under the ESA because once the listing goes live, rearing monarchs in backyards will become a process involving permit requests and background checks. But because there needs to be more data to fully assess the butterfly’s endangered status, the ESA listing decision deadline was postponed to December 2020.\n\nThere’s also been a growing interest in people planting milkweed for monarch conservation, especially in urban spaces. For instance, in a 2019 survey conducted by Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, a journal on evolutionary biology and conservation, 81% of 226 participants from four metropolitan cities who said they “managed a plantable open space” were also growing milkweed, and 63% were willing to plant more in the next five years. Of all the indicators of imbalance, the pollinator population, which includes bees, moths, and butterflies, in an area reflects where the ecosystem is headed. O’Donnell says if homeowners allow native plants to grow on their property, it would be beneficial for native pollinators. “If we can get people to start re-engaging with nature, leaving the native plants that are already there, we can make a difference,” he says. He also thinks the younger generation is “waking up” to realize that they have to clean up the mess that they live in. “We didn’t inherit this planet from our ancestors. We’re borrowing it for our children and our friends’ children. We only borrow something if we want to give it back,” he says.\n\nPollinators around the world are having a really hard time because there just isn’t nearly enough habitats left.\n\nEducating people about this environmental balance comes foremost, and nonprofits like The Watershed Institute in Pennington, N.J. are devoted to do so. In 2000, they opened a butterfly house with indoor and outdoor gardens that modeled typical habitats in central New Jersey for their native butterfly and caterpillar species. It was also used to teach people, especially students, about native milkweeds; there are around 100 varieties, but the most common ones are butterfly, swamp, purple, and antelope. “Pollinators around the world are having a really hard time because there just isn’t nearly enough habitats left,” says Samantha Bernstein, an educator at the Institute who’s been teaching visitors and school groups about the importance of native milkweeds for nearly three years. “There are not enough places left for [monarchs] to reproduce.”\n\nBernstein remembers the first time she saw a butterfly scrambling to get out of its chrysalis. With weak little legs, a water-clogged abdomen, and wet wings, it took almost an hour for the monarch to dry out and fly away. But habitat destruction makes the 3,000-mile-long journey to Mexico and southern California more difficult for millions of monarchs that migrate there each fall. For example, herbicide-resistant corn and soybeans are pushing farmers to mow down weeds, including milkweed, especially in the Midwest. Currently, there are only 1.34 billion milkweed stems left in the country, and 3.62 billion are needed to reestablish the monarch population to a sustainable size, according to a 2017 U.S. Geological Survey study.\n\nAlthough those at the frontlines of monarch conservancy understand and appreciate the role of milkweed in protecting monarchs, the plant still struggles to earn that appreciation among the general population. For starters, there’s the name. The appearance of the word “weed” conveys to many that it has a less-than-honorable role in the garden even though it’s actually a wildflower, and it serves as an invitation to those tasked with mowing to eliminate it, just like that day when O’Donnell first saw the plant on his biking route, only to find it whacked down when he came back. In fact, during the first few times O’Donnell set up his table at the Clarence Hollow Farmer’s Market to educate people about milkweeds, he mostly received skepticism from the shoppers who passed by his booth. “People would think of it as a bad plant right off the bat,” he says. But when he started bringing his caterpillars and adult monarchs with his milkweed, people stopped and paid attention. “Now, people are looking for milkweeds, and there’s been an increase in monarchs the last two years — about 140%,” O’Donnell says. “This year, they’re up, so I believe it’s contributed [to that increase] because people are planting more in their pollinator gardens.”\n\nA monarch butterfly is a messenger and its disappearance is the message that we need to start coexisting with nature or we’re going to start losing not only things we love but things we need to survive.\n\nCarolina Bourque’s fascination with watching a monarch escape its chrysalis turned into a conservation agenda like that of O’Donnell’s. The fisheries biologist and hobby farmer from Lafayette, La. started planting native milkweed several years ago to help protect the monarchs’ migration corridor. She even started raising her own monarchs this year, which she says can be difficult at times because she has farm animals, like chickens, that enjoy feasting on the milkweed and caterpillars. “I usually catch the caterpillars when they are small and put them in an enclosure,” Bourque says. “Then, I have to clip fresh clippings from the specific host plant for each of the caterpillar species.” She also wants to raise more monarchs in an enclosed space to increase their chances of survival. “With so many chemicals being used — herbicide control, mosquito control — damages to the monarch caterpillars are huge,” she adds.\n\nBut monarchs and their precious milkweed must overcome more than shrinking habitats. For Orley Taylor, founder of Monarch Watch, a volunteer-based network of students, researchers, and environmentalists at the University of Kansas studying monarchs, climate change poses an equally threatening challenge. “It’s going to get warmer and warmer, and that’s going to change the tolerance of heat for monarchs,” Taylor says. He says that in about 50 years, the heatwave will effectively push the monarchs off of the Mexico migration route. It’s also possible that increasing carbon dioxide levels can make milkweed too toxic to eat for caterpillars. “What we’re going to have to do is appeal to those people who are really concerned about the environment enough to invest in things that keep the system together,” he adds.\n\nBut with nearly 6 million acres of pesticide-free milkweed habitats that need to be restored, Taylor says it would take more than just action from organizations to protect monarchs. “We actually need to involve all three countries — in this case, Mexico, Canada, and the United States — because many [monarchs] migrate across the three countries,” he says. He affirms that people don’t necessarily need to breed butterflies, but can focus on creating habitats for them. “It will sustain pollinators,” he says.\n\nBack in Clarence, O’Donnell says he hasn’t lost faith in humanity’s ability to save the monarchs. He gets inspiration from Baba Dioum, a Senegalese forestry engineer and environmentalist, who once said, “In the end, we will conserve only what we love, we will love only what we understand, and we will understand only what we are taught.” O’Donnell recites that quote as he points to the first monarch on the migratory route that flies above his tool shed. “That kind of says it all,” he adds. While O’Donnell and his three visitors stand under the shade of an old tree at his home, they catch a glimpse of orange-black zigzag across his milkweed patch before it disappeared.\n\nAdditional reporting on this story by Rachel Burt.\n\nThe Reclamation of Ancestral Herbalism\n\nModern Craftivism: The Power of the Stitch\n\nSajida Ayyup is a contributing writer for Rooted.

An extraordinarily good, as new copy, the best I have seen, with a little wear and darkening to the slipcase and spine of the wrapper.\n\nA fine translation by cousins Vita and Edward Sackville-West of Rilke’s great Elegies which he had begun in 1911-12 at the castle of Duino in Istria and which took him 11 years to finish. He regarded them as the greatest of his works. The Hogarth and Cranach Press collaborated, sometimes argued, over this book but the remarkable production values of Kessler’s Press won out with Johnston’s type, Gill’s wood engraved initials and Maillol’s paper bringing life and beauty to the Sackville-West text."

"Listening to Onamacritus, the new EP from UK band Forgery Lit, the overriding feeling is that tingle you get when you feel like you are in on the beginning of something rather special, an awareness which not many others have had the taste of yet, though it would be a real shock if the trio from Bristol were not echoing around the senses of a great many in the very near future. Their four track release is simply scintillating, an inspired and imaginative temptation bred from distinct invention and unique aural mischief. Sounding like the tantalising offspring from an orgy between Blood Red Shoes, Breeders, and Penetration with the Au Pairs and Spinnerette offering their juices, and yet sounding something completely different, Forgery Lit is a fire waiting to happen, and their new release we suggest the irresistible spark.\n\nConsisting of Ami Amp (vocals/drums), Gareth Jones (bass/backing vocals), and Niko Mar (guitar, backing vocals), the three friends from three different parts of the world (Greece, South east and South west of England), take inspirations from the likes of Juliette and the Licks, Mogwai, No Doubt, Nirvana and more, spicing up a sound which defies tagging and stands loudly distinctive to the band. As shown by the EP, it is a fusion of indie and rock which employs breaths from many other ventures for one new thrilling experience.\n\nAs soon as Dirty Life throws a mesh of sonic dust at the ear senses are opened up and appetite wide eyed in anticipation. It is a",

"brief scrub soon replaced by a teasing groove and strolling rhythms hand in hand with a swagger lit bassline. The vocals of Amp confidently coax and seduce with slight menace and total persuasion adding to the provocative temptation which subsequently reacts to the listener’s submission with a sonic crescendo of squalling greedy energy before going through the whole incendiary lure again to cement the deal. The drift into blues soaked tempting within a bedlamic ambience makes for an unexpected and exciting aside whilst the returning earnest tempest confirms the already incited ardour. The lead track/video from the release it makes a potent introduction to the band.\n\nShe Said has a reggae whispering walk to its opening embrace with the vocals and rhythmic enticement of Amp waving a beckoning finger at the ear before bass and guitar light up the scenic embrace with feisty passion and evocative colour. A more gentle engagement than the previous song it still grabs thoughts and emotions by the scruff of the neck and leads them into an excitable dance of discord teasing melodic blistering crafted with a post punk enterprise. It has an uncompromising invention which is hypnotic in its invigorating ingenuity but is never afraid to drench it in a surge of heart sculpted energy bleeding ferocity.\n\nWith just two songs the EP has won its case but with the remaining pair of Bicycle and Fairweather, there is nothing less than more eclectic weaves and rapture igniting quality to devour and drive those thoughts and expectations that Forgery Lit is poised to become a new force in UK rock. The first of the two stands eye to eye with the senses, a riff guided groove searing the synapses to enslave their focus before beats cage their escape and Amp lays out her narrative with a seductive wantonness. It is with the expulsion of sky bound sonic flames with acidic melodic fuel and a deliciously broody bass assistance that the track finds another plateau of excellence. X-Ray Spex meets Karn8, it is a sizzling and beguiling confrontation and the best track on the EP, a creative devilment which says as much about the immense invention as the other three songs together.\n\nThe closing Fairweather is a slowly smouldering caress which is as gentle as it is caustic in its predatory surges, a final piece of passionate and expansive excellence setting the band up as one of the most exciting and promising bands of recent years. Recorded at AudioBeach Studios with Forbes Coleman, Onamacritus is one release all need to invite into their ears, your hearts it will find by itself soon after."

"This is beginning to sound like all the corrupt land/mortgage deals during the mission to bring the Olympics to Chicago…remember that?\n\nThe Barack Obama Presidential Library is the 14th presidential library administered by the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), a federal agency.\n\nUnlike other Presidential Libraries administered by NARA, the Barack Obama Presidential Library will be a fully digital library. After the records are digitized, NARA will store and preserve the original materials in an existing NARA facility that meets NARA’s standards for archival storage. A staff at that location will be responsible for caring for the records and artifacts.\n\nCurrently, the Obama administration materials are housed in a temporary facility in Hoffman Estates, IL, which is not open to the public. Obama presidential records are administered in accordance with the requirements of the Presidential Records Act (PRA) and will not be subject to public Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests until January 20, 2022.\n\nAbout the Obama Presidential Center\n\n*** The judge nominated by former President Obama dealt a blow Tuesday to the former president’s efforts to build his presidential library in Chicago with a ruling that a lawsuit challenging the facility’s planned construction can go forward.",

"CHICAGO (AP) — A federal judge gave the green light Tuesday to a parks-advocacy group’s lawsuit that aims to stop for good the delayed construction of former President Barack Obama’s $500 million presidential center in a Chicago park beside Lake Michigan.\n\nSupporters of the project had hoped the court would grant a city motion to throw out the lawsuit by Protect Our Parks, some fearing any drawn out litigation might lead Obama to decide to build the Obama Presidential Center somewhere other than his hometown.\n\nA lawsuit brought by another group in 2016 helped to scuttle a $400 million plan by “Star Wars” creator George Lucas to build a museum on public land on Chicago’s lakefront. That museum is now under construction in Los Angeles .\n\nJudge John Robert Blakey heard arguments last week on the city’s motion to dismiss. Blakey did toss parts of the suit in his Tuesday ruling, but concluded the group has standing to sue because it represent taxpayers with concerns that providing parkland in the public trust to the Obama center violates their due-process rights.\n\nBlakey’s ruling doesn’t mean the group will necessarily prevail in the end, but confirms that the suit poses a formidable threat to the project. The judge indicated that he doesn’t want the litigation to drag out, and that he would strictly limit any fact gathering leading up to trial to 45 days.\n\n“We are pleased that the court dismissed some of the claims and made clear that the proceedings will move forward expeditiously,” said Chicago corporation counsel Ed Siskel. It was also the view of the Obama Foundation in its one-sentence reaction to Blakey’s ruling.\n\nBlakey tossed the plaintiffs’ claim that their First Amendment rights would be violated if tax money is used to construct a building to promote former President Barack Obama’s political interests.\n\nHe also found no merit in the plaintiffs’ claim they would suffer because of aesthetic and environmental harm to Jackson Park.\n\nBlakey says his ruling “does not address the true facts of this case.”\n\nPlans call for the center to be built in Jackson Park, which was named after President Andrew Jackson and was a site for the Chicago World’s Fair in 1893. The site 7 miles (11 kilometers) south of downtown Chicago is near low-income neighborhoods where Obama worked as a community organizer and is just blocks from the University of Chicago where Obama was a law professor. It is also close to the home where the Obamas lived until he won the presidency in 2008.\n\nThe center was originally slated to open in 2021, though ground hasn’t yet broken because of the lingering litigation.\n\nIn its 2018 suit , Protect Our Parks accused the city of illegally transferring park land to a private entity, The Obama Foundation, effectively “gifting” prized land to a Chicago favorite son. The group said city officials manipulated the approval process and tinkered with legislation to skirt long-standing laws designed to ensure residents have unobstructed access to lakeside parks.\n\n“Defendants have chosen to deal with it in a classic Chicago political way … to deceive and seemingly legitimize an illegal land grab,” the lawsuit says.\n\nTo make the park available for the project, the Chicago Park District first sold the land to the city for $1. Illinois legislators amended the state’s Illinois Aquarium and Museum Act to include presidential libraries as an exception to the no-development rules if there’s a compelling public interest. The Chicago City Council approved the project by a 47-to-1 vote last May.\n\nThe Obama Foundation, a private nonprofit, would pay $10 to the city for use of the park land for 99 years, cover the costs of building the complex and be responsible for covering operating costs for 99 years. Once built, the Obama Presidential Center’s physical structures would be transferred to the city for free, meaning the city would formally own the center but not control what happens there.\n\n“They are essentially giving (property) to Obama … for 10 cents a year for 99 years,” parks advocacy lawyer Mark Roth said Thursday.\n\nIn a friend-of-the-court brief , legal scholar Richard Epstein said public-trust doctrine places an extra burden on authorities to prove overwhelming public benefit when they offer the use of public parks to such well-connected figures as Obama, who remains hugely popular in the heavily Democratic city. Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel once served as Obama’s White House chief of staff.\n\nOne claim Blakey tossed Tuesday was that taxpayers’ First Amendment rights would be infringed upon because tax money would be spent to reconfigure roads and traffic. The suit argued that taxpayers would thus subsidize any partisan political activity by Obama at the center.\n\nCity lawyers conceded Thursday that Chicago would pay an estimated $175 million to reconfigure roads to manage traffic around the center.\n\nThe lawsuit also claims that the center would interfere with migrating butterflies and birds.\n\nThe center would comprise 20 acres (8 hectares) of the 500-acre (202-hectare) park. Its centerpiece would be a 225-foot (69-meter) museum tower, surrounded by a cluster of smaller buildings, including a 300-seat auditorium.\n\nCity lawyers said it would bring a major economic boost to poor local minority communities. Backers estimate it would create 5,000 jobs during construction and over 2,500 permanent jobs. An estimated 760,000 people could visit each year."

"The Buccaneers host Bills in the only Sunday card game that divides two teams with a winning record against each other. Buffalo needs the win to both keep pace in the AFC East race and keep a spot, while Tampa Bay hopes to complete the NFC South title later in the day. This is arguably the best game of the day and the number that attracts a lot of betting action.\n\nLet’s take a look at the best props options for Bills vs. Buccaneers for this important NFL Week 14 game.\n\nIf we’ve learned anything over the past few seasons, it’s that running football with Tampa Bay has been largely a fruitless venture. The Bucs finished first for the previous two seasons and have held that spot again throughout much of this campaign. Much of that also correlates with the types of scores the team allows.\n\nCombine that with the fact that Buffalo is a best average racing team and we expect a lot of points scored in this game, owner of this week’s highest posted totals and logical derivative Become Buffalo creating his score through the game pass. Josh Allen has many likely threats at the wide receiver, the NFL’s overall leader in getting touchdowns between tight ends and a running room behind that has captured three touchdowns . This may prove too much for a Tampa Bay defense that ranks only 20th in passes and 17th in points per game allowed.\n\nWhen Josh Allen throws a ball this fast to knock out Gabriel Davis, it won’t blow in the wind. #BillsMafia pic.twitter.com/cC2MPiycOf\n\nAllen has made three or more touchdowns this season, throwing eight touchdowns in the three games Buffalo played for the highest total. He’s also counted multiple passes in all but three games, with one of those blunders apparently coming last Monday night against New England. After two other games where Allen failed to throw more than one touchdown, Buffalo responded by scoring five touchdowns on the next hit. If we see a similar reaction here and if Tampa stays true to his stingy defensive reputation, Allen is likely to go through at least three points in this game.\n\nObviously, you could simplify this claim by playing Leonard Fournette as an anytime touchdown scorer and still return essentially even money. However, we are looking for big payday with this prop, as it can be found with odds around +440, depending on where you shop. Again, based on posted totals, this game promises to be a back and forth game of scores. And, based on Tampa’s recent touchdown spreads, Fournette makes a lot of sense to catch some of those.\n\nFor starters, the Bucs hit a high NFL average of 31.4 points per game during the season, soaring to 38.4 points per home game, which is also a league best. Among those glittering numbers is Fournette, who rose to ninth in the league with seven hasty touchdowns, adding two more via the pass. That nine-point total puts him fifth among active NFL supporters.\n\nFournette was also reliant on late game, averaging more than 20 touchdowns a game in the team’s last four outings, including at least six catches in each of those games. He’s scored five touchdowns in his last two games and will be up against a Buffalo defence that’s softer to counter runs than passes.\n\nBuffalo are just 12th this season, while being the best passing defense in the league. That’s down to the types of down touches the Bills allow, with only six out of 20 touchdowns credited to the receiver and tight ends. The majority of the points the Bills allowed came from points, and nine of those were scored by running backwards. In fact, the opposing defenders also got the score twice against Buffalo.\n\nLenny took it with one hand for TD! @_fournette #GoBucs\n\nDerrick Henry has had three encounters with the Bills this season, of which Jonathan Taylor scored five as Buffalo hosted Indianapolis. Those are the only two defenders the Bills have faced more touchdowns this season than Fournette. That’s why he can have a monster game here.\n\nStefon Diggs Scorer touches down all the time\n\nAs discussed before, it was extremely difficult to penetrate Tampa Bay’s defence. In fact, 72.4% of offensive touches scored against the Bucs were unsuccessful. More than half of that went to broad receivers, and we’re looking at one of the league’s best to join that group here.\n\nOnly three teams have had as many head-to-head goals against Tampa Bay this season. However, all three of those teams, like Buffalo, are ranked in the top 11 in the NFL in terms of total yards per game. Dallas comes out on top in that category, with the Rams sixth and the Colts 11th. Those three teams have produced eight of the 11 touchdowns thrown to the receiver for the Bills in 2021. It’s hardly a coincidence that the three That match also saw three of the four biggest posted totals for Tampa in 2021, with all three games generating at least 58 totals, opponents taking at least 29 points each.\n\nYou can even toss those encouraging stats aside and at the end of the day you’re still supporting an elite weapon in the search for pay, something Stefon Diggs can do at any moment in any match against any opponent. A bit of an angle, the guy caught four of seven goals in that mess on Monday night when only 17 passes were completed by both teams combined.\n\nDiggs leads the NFL with 147 catches and 1846 yards in 2020 and is in the top 10 in both categories again this season. He also had 10 touchdowns last season, the league’s 10th best, and has had seven this season, ranking ninth on the list.\n\nBefore the weather-stricken game against the Patriots, Diggs had scored in three consecutive opening games and five of the team’s last six, counting six of his seven points in that span. It’s almost impossible to imagine this game following the bookmakers’ scenario without Diggs being part of the scoring.\n\nGet your first $1,001 bet match, a risk-free parlay game and great odds going up this weekend with Caesars Sportsbook.\n\nInside the Disappearance of Summer Wells, Oakley Carlson and Michael Vaughan as children continue to disappear across America",

"An excited group of travellers set off for Israel just before the pandemic in March 2020 and experienced a tour like no other!\n\nA full schedule was planned and after a good flight we spent the night in Netanya before our first day of touring. A delightful first day followed with visits to Caesarea, Megiddo and the Nazareth Village Project moving onwards to Tiberias where we were well looked after at the Caesar Premier Hotel.\n\nWe started each day with prayer and a Bible Reading on the coach and Marion gave several valuable Biblical inputs at different locations. The group gelled very well and we had a superb time exploring many sites around Galilee and the north with one of the most interesting being a visit to the most northerly kibbutz in Israel at Misgav Am.\n\nMisgav Am is on a finger of land overlooking Southern Lebanon with a wonderful view of the snow capped Mount Hermon to the East. The residents of Misgav Am are stoic and determined and are well aware of the activities of Hezbollah who are accommodated in homes just across the border. A UN post is visible but there is scepticism of the effectiveness of the UN contingent who are apparently oblivious to the activities of Hezbollah. Misgav Am did suffer an incursion by terrorists in the early eighties which resulted in several fatalities and the deaths of the terrorist gang.\n\nAfter a few days in the Galilee region we moved on to Jerusalem – it was obvious that the situation with Covid 19 was getting worse, we had a couple of days with our Coach, driver and guide but then all the sites closed and the driver and guide were not allowed to work. This left me with the responsibility to continue to lead the group on walking tours of Jerusalem.",
null,
"Praise God we were allowed out of the hotel and for two days we walked around Jerusalem initially we walked from the hotel towards the Old City and then entered via the Damascus Gate and headed for the Western Wall and enjoyed walking through all the quarters of the Old City stopping briefly in Hulva Square where pictures were taken of the Golden Menorah near the Hulva Synagogue.\n\nWe were able to call for a coffee at Christchurch near the Jaffa Gate but only one person at a time was allowed in because of the impact of Covid 19.",
null,
"The following day we hired taxis to take us to the viewing platform on the Mount of Olives and spent some time looking over the Old City before walking the traditional Palm Sunday route across the Kidron Valley and through the Lion Gate with some more sightseeing in the Old City. The streets were very quiet and the hustle and bustle normally experienced was notably absent. There were very few other groups left in Israel.\n\nOur Tour was cut short by one day and our agents managed to get a flight back to Heathrow and for those of us who should have been flying back to Manchester transport was arranged. As we left our hotel it was closed and all the staff were redundant as was the case with so many in the tourism industry.\n\nI was very impressed with the humour and cooperation of the wonderful group of people who came on the tour. They were so supportive, friendly and understanding that it made my job much easier than it could have otherwise been.\n\nGod willing when this pandemic is over and some degree of normality has returned I intend to arrange another tour to Israel with several of the group intimating that they want to go back.\n\nMaybe next year in Jerusalem?"

"His father fought on the Somme in the Liverpool Pals Regiment and was invalided out later in 1916. His mother lost her youngest brother exactly 3 weeks before the end of WW1 and Frank was named after him in remembrance.\n\nAfter the war Frank returned home to Liverpool where he studied at night school to gain sufficient qualifications to enter teacher training at Goldsmith’s College in London, 1950-52. (Studying whilst working became something of a habit as he later went on to receive an Honours Degree from the Open University.) He taught in a primary school in London before accepting a 2 year contract to teach in Africa alongside a R.C. Mission. When his father died in 1963 Frank returned home spending the next 17 years living with and supporting his mother until her death.\n\nDuring those years he taught at a secondary school in a tough part of Liverpool. He was frustrated with this phase of his career. He said he and the students did not understand each other. He thought they were wasting their opportunities. Understandable given his experience where the war interrupted education (rather like the current pandemic!!), qualifications were hard won and required dedication to achieve.\n\nAfter his mother’s death he took early retirement from teaching and applied to the priesthood. He studied at the Beda College in Rome and was ordained aged 60 in 1984 in Bristol. He actively served as a priest within the Clifton Diocese until he was 91. He spent his remaining years in residential care in Bristol where he died on 11th November 2018.\n\nThere were 2 funeral services with the Bishop and other priests concelebrating at both!! One at the home in Bristol and another the next day in Minehead where he had been parish priest for over 20 years and where he wanted to be buried.\n\nAs I said at the funeral:\n\n“So the family were brought up in the shadow of the First World War & the Great Depression. They knew what it meant to lose someone or to have nothing. The war to end all wars – didn’t!! So Frank’s generation found themselves in combat, losing friends and comrades. They learnt the value of life at a young age. They saw great social change and met the challenges it presented with amazing resilience. I do not think we will ever see their like again.”\n\nI think that includes all the members of the 458 Squadron.",

"A mass repatriation exercise has been underway for Burundian refugees to their home nation from several neighbouring countries which started in 2020. Many of those who have been living as refugees were forced to flee in 2015 following a widespread human rights crisis after then-president Pierre Nkurunziza’s decision to run for a disputed third term that year. UNHCR reports that 312,615 Burundians subsequently fled to nearby countries with the majority settling in Tanzania, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Uganda and Rwanda.\n\nIn light of more stable and peaceful conditions, thousands of those who fled are now seeking support to return and settle once again in their country of origin. It is estimated that at least 39,411 Burundians were assisted to return in 2020, and another 40,000 are projected to make the journey back over the course of 2021.\n\nEach Burundian that was forced to flee represents a unique story of courage, resilience and hope in the face of unimaginably trying circumstances.\n\nAs the AIRD Uganda team supports with the facilitation of the journey to Burundi for hundreds of refugees, a few shared their brave stories with us on how life has unfolded since they fled and what it means for them to finally be returning home.",

"I used to have a peaceful life and live in my amazing home. I enjoyed the nature around my house and the food coming from the land. I woke up every morning to the sound of birds singing. The brutality of the tribal and political war forced my family to leave this house and to start the journey to be refugees.\n\nSince the start of our journey, my family split and we all moved in different directions. I managed to escape with my two young children now aged 7 and 8. We moved a lot in Burundi and later in Rwanda, and we slept in thick forests for over two months. In the end I decided to go close to the border with Uganda with my two children. We came to this area because we just wanted to survive. At the border we were arrested and detained for 7 days before I was set free with my little children and it is there that I asked people around to show us the direction to a camp in Uganda where refugees stay that we had heard about back in Burundi. Fortunately, a good Samaritan showed us a land cruiser that was moving around the border and he pointed and said “that’s a UN Vehicle!”. When I flagged it down it stopped. I explained myself and I was helped to a transit centre where we stayed for close to one week. Then buses came and moved us to a Refugee Settlement. After two days at the reception centre, I was relocated and given a plot of land where I have since stayed. We have lived in this small house with my two babies and I am happy the community and other humanitarian agencies supported us. At first life was hard and I kept thinking about my husband and two elder children that I left back since there was no communication between us. I received psychosocial support and life started to change. I have been doing casual work on top of the relief aid we get from the Government of Uganda to support my family and I am happy that we have been healthy throughout.\n\nWhen we heard of news from our social worker that Burundian refugees had been given the green to voluntary return home, I was very excited and I immediately ran to seek for more information from the zonal office and I registered as one of those willing to go back home. I am very happy that I am finally going back home to reunite with my family especially the children whom I have not seen for a while. On arrival and once fully settled in my home, I plan to see my children go through school and also revamp my farmland to produce enough food for the family and the surplus for commercial use which will used as school fees for my children. I want to thank AIRD for providing us with transport to Burundi and every day when I see my colleagues going I envision myself on the bus.",

"Back in Burundi my father was a farmer and he also went fishing. Along with my siblings, I used to attend school regularly. I was in standard-1 when we left. We used to learn literature in school. But it all came to an end the day our house got burnt. The houses in our village were on fire. We couldn’t run to the jungle because it was on fire too. We fled to another village but that village was also attacked. We were stranded so we fled again to a valley and stayed there for two days with no food. We made it across the border between Burundi and Rwanda where we connected with some relatives and stayed there for almost a year when things again got worse in Rwanda as relatives got arrested by security for keeping us in their homes yet we were a wanted minority tribe back home.\n\nAs our relatives got arrested, we were in a family tea plantation and were tipped off by our neighbour who hid us in his farm for a night. We left for Tanzania the following day. While in Tanzania, we got resistance from the local authorities as well because we did not have documentation and after a lengthy explanation, we were allowed to proceed to the border from where we entered into Uganda. Once in Uganda, we stayed on the streets of Masaka town for days and later months. We started collecting garbage from homesteads for money until the day we were arrested by the municipal authorities and detained as law breakers. We spent two days in police cells and after interrogation, we told them that we were refugees and didn’t have any documents on us. This is when the Mayor made a phone call to a refugee desk and two hours later, an AIRD vehicle came and took us to UNHCR and later a reception centre where we were profiled and later granted asylum status.\n\nWhile here, my brother and I communicated to our parents that we had safely reached Uganda and were in a refugee settlement. After nearly two years without any job, an AIRD program came up to construct PSN Shelters and the requirement was to join a group which I quickly did. Under a cash for work program, we got payments for each PSN shelter we built and we shared the money equally. I spent part of my money to buy clothes and I saved the larger portion so I could start business in the future.\n\nAfter the completion of the project, I had saved some money which I invested in a small baking business in my community that keeps me busy throughout the day. I am happy that I am returning home to reunite with my parents. I have missed them. Since I am 23yrs old, I would wish to go join a vocational school and widen my skills in baking of different products."

"What constitutes “too much running”? To some, it may be associated with a loss of enthusiasm, to others, a lack of time for a balanced life. While these are valid ways of determining when an individual is overdoing their running, for most of us, too much running manifests itself in the form of injury, fatigue, and deteriorating results. There are few serious runners who don’t find themselves suffering from these latter afflictions at some time during their lives.",
null,
"Not all injuries, however, ensue from too much running. Injuries can also occur from shorter bursts of extreme running when the individual is quite “fresh”. Such cases should be categorised as due to a heightened level of intensity rather than from too much running per se. However, it is the classic overuse injury that is of more relevance to this article.\n\nAlmost all overuse injuries are due to a combination of speed and distance. Let’s define this scenario as “injury due to too much running”. However, backing off the speed in a timely manner will almost certainly preclude injury, even if large distances are still covered in training. In other words, as far as injury is concerned, “too much running” is really a case of “too much fast running”. If you find yourself injured, it’s most likely because you have violated the first rule of sensible running – not enough rest between workouts; the more intense the workout, the more rest required to avoid injury. In essence, an injury should be one of the most obvious and objective means of determining that you’re running too much, and/or at too high an intensity.\n\nWhile fatigue is a little different – and is often a precursor to injury itself – it is still heavily dependent on a combination of speed and distance. Fatigue manifests itself in many forms. Sore muscles and joints, general tiredness, restless sleep, and reduction in one’s enthusiasm for running are common indicators of fatigue. If you are suffering from one or more of these symptoms, you are probably running too much. There are two options – reduce the speed and intensity of your running, or reduce the distance.",
null,
"A third example of running too much is a deterioration in performance. This is not independent of injury and fatigue. The three are interdependent and closely entwined. However, worsening race or training times can be the most objective measure of fatigue, which itself is usually the result of too much running.\n\nTraining is meant to improve one’s performance. When it instead results in the opposite, it is an obvious sign that you’re overdoing things. As frustrating and (on the surface) counterintuitive as it is, deteriorating running results clearly suggest a need to back off your running for a while.\n\nIf you are running well, don’t feel chronically fatigued, and your times are improving, you are definitely not running too much. However, if you are suffering from these afflictions, it is likely you are doing too much running. The good news is, the solution is quite simple – ease off the running for a couple of weeks until you regain your energy levels, your aches and pains go away, and your performances start improving again. After all, if you are getting adequate rest you are, by definition, not running too much.",

"The BNP has decided not to participate in the upcoming Dhaka North City Corporation (DNCC) mayoral by-election and the upazila elections, or any other elections in future, under the Awami League government.\n\nSenior BNP leader Barrister Jamiruddin Sircar made the announcement after a meeting of the party’s Standing Committee Thursday evening.\n\n“We have decided to stay away from the elections of Dhaka North City Corporation slated for February 28 and the upazila elections scheduled to start from early March,” he said. “We will not participate in any election under the current government.”\n\nThe BNP leaders will not contest the polls even as independent candidates, he added.\n\n“Any election under the Awami League government cannot be free and fair. Therefore, our Standing Committee has decided not to contest these elections,” Fakhrul said.\n\nThe party also decided not to nominate any candidates for the by-election in Kishoreganj 1 and Gaibandha 3 parliamentary seats.\n\nBefore the meeting, the BNP leaders sat with lawyers to discuss Khaleda’s release.\n\nAnother meeting between Khaleda’s defence team and the party top brass had been set on January 31.\n\nKhokon further said Khaleda was not being released on bail due to “politically-motivated factors.”\n\nFakhrul: No Eid joy for BNP for over a decade"

"Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov has announced that he is ready to resign from his position.\n\nThe politician – who has been accused of ordering the anti-gay purge in the Russian republic earlier this year – claimed that he can step down from his role as he has “put things in order” in the region.\n\n“It is possible to say that it is my dream,” Kadyrov told Russia-1 of leaving his position. “Once there was a need for people like me to fight, to put things in order.\n\n“Now we have order and prosperity … and time has come for changes in the Chechen Republic.”\n\nKadyrov said that it would be up to the Kremlin to decide on his predecessor.\n\nEarlier this year, it came to light that the region was rounding up men and sending them to detention camps as part of an anti-gay operation.\n\nThere have been chilling reports of young gay men being murdered by their own family members, as authorities tell parents to kill them – or they’ll do it themselves.\n\nA 17-year-old male was even murdered by his own uncle, after being pushed from his 9th floor balcony.",

"The Kremlin and Chechen government have both repeatedly denied allegations that gay men are being detained and tortured in the region.\n\nThat’s despite Chechnya’s president, Ramzan Kadyrov, having publicly declared that he wanted all LGBTQ people in the country to be eliminated by May 26, which marked the start of Muslim holiday, Ramadan.\n\nBack in August, it was also reported that Chechnya started charging gay men with terrorism, claiming they were members of ISIS – despite the Chechen president saying there are no gay people in the country.\n\nMore recently, it’s been reported that popular singer Zelimkhan Bakaev was bundled into a car hours after arriving in the Russian republic on 8 August, and hasn’t been heard from since.\n\nHowever, campaign group Human Rights Watch (HRW) have said: “There is little doubt he was targeted because of his sexual orientation.”"

"When I arrived at the gate, it was First Class boarding only so I got on to the plane (a 757-200) right away despite a full First Class cabin. On a Regional Jet or even a 737-800 boarding is from the very front of the plane, which means that all passengers walk through the First Class cabin of the aircraft, whether or not they are seated there.\n\nOn flights with a 757-200 however, boarding is from just behind First Class, which keeps the two cabins separate during boarding. While I enjoy the added privacy upon boarding, I love people watching as they enter an aircraft and this is something I miss when flying on a 757. Besides all the other perks of sitting at the front of the plane, I love being able to sit and watch people as they walk by me–it’s like a parade of travelers and luggage. I’m not sure how true it is, but I think you can tell a lot about a person and how their life is going simply by observing them as they walk towards their seats and are nearly forced to be patient while fellow passengers get settled in.",
null,
"Maybe it was that I smack dab in the middle of a 24-person First Class cabin and wasn’t actively watching people board, that the plane holds 300 passengers, or just me, but it seemed like 5 minutes before the purser offered me a pre-departure beverage. While this may seem unbearable to some, I didn’t really mind since boarding continued for another 15 minutes afterward. I went with a coffee with Baileys, which inspired a gentleman in the row behind me to do the same. I love being a trendsetter!\n\nI ended up having a refill (call me a Kettle Medallion) and by then we were ready for takeoff. A little bit after we had leveled off in the air, the purser and two other flight attendants set to work taking drink orders again, then brought around hot towels. (I have never figured out it it acceptable to also wipe my face with it or not, but I do it anyway)\n\nSoon after I was offered my choice of cereal, cereal, or…..nothing. I was hoping for an omelet since I know that some Delta flights serve them, but I shouldn’t be picky since I would be eating a meal at 30,000 feet for crying out loud!\n\nThe cereal and milk came along with a bowl of fruit, yogurt, and a rather delicious croissant.",
null,
"Following breakfast, I watched a little bit of The Traveler with Johnny Depp on the AVOD (Audio/Video On Demand) which is fitting for a vacation trip, but with a rather strange ending. I hadn’t slept much the night before, so I ended up playing some light music and resting.\n\nThe only other noteworthy part of the trip is a comment another passenger made to me. After I had gotten up to use the lavatory a few times (too much coffee) he told me that he was trying to rest and asked that I not hold on to the back of his seat when getting up. I have probably done this dozens of times to steady myself as I get up from my seat without realizing. I apologized profusely both then and at the end of the flight, as I realized it was an invasion of personal space. Ever since this experience, I have worked hard at catching myself if I am about to grab the back of someone’s seat while standing up on an airplane or bus.\n\nAre there any sub-conscious behaviors you have to prevent yourself from doing while flying?"

"March 7, 2011\nSome interesting information and photos from Fred Horky.\n\nAs mentioned, I’m trying desperately to cull through all my treasures to cut the bulk down some before our move to NC.\n\nJust now I cane across these two “lost” pictures I’ve had for about fifty years. I can’t remember how I got these obviously-official 8×10 pictures of the JB-57 missile simulator. Anyway, they just surfaced, but NOW I have a scanner to digitize them!\n\nTwo B-57B’s had been converted; they had first been “bailed” (loaned) to Goodyear to develop the ATRAN, and then deployed to Germany to be used as Quality Control on guidance maintenance.\n\nEach picture has text material pasted to the back.\n\nAttached are scans of the two pictures, and the text material now typed into my PC.\n\nI don’t know if I ever mentioned it, but I got to fly ONCE in the back seat of that fascinating apparatus, watching the monitors as the ATRAN took us from over Site II with an actual target film for a target in then-very Red Czechoslovakia. The ATRAN had us jinking all the way down past Munchen hell bent for the Czech border. If the pilot hadn’t disconnected the guidance system and headed back to Sembach, we might have started WWIII …or at least either been in a heap of trouble, or dead. But the ATRAN was still saying, “NO, NO, it’s THAT way!”. That flight really made me a believer in the Mace and ATRAN!\n\nDon’t have time for the whole story, but the short version is that on a day off from regular duties at Grünstadt, I was hanging around base ops trying to cadge an extra sortie on a regular “sim missile” T-33 …they were used to train MSQ-1 radar weapons controllers whose wartime mission was to direct Matador missiles.\n\nSembach had one pilot and one navigator assigned to fly the JB. When the navigator didn’t show up for his flight (a definite “No-No”!); I was standing there, in flight suit, on flight status, and familiar with the ATRAN, so to prevent scrubbing the mission despite the rare beautiful weather, I was pressed into service to sit in back and monitor the ATRAN. It turned out to be my only “Bomber” flight time of my whole career!\n\nAlso, I kept my bachelor buddy Mike Barbolla’s butt …he was that navigator ….out of a crack\n\nFascinating story, I’ll write it up for you if you’re interested.",

"The Simulated Missile of Sembach\n\nShown on a hardstand at Sembach AB, Germany in 1960, this half airplane, half missile is being checked out as a “stand in” mission for the TM-76A Mace missile. Converted from a Martin B-57B (S/N 52-1539) by the Goodyear Aerospace Corporation, builders of the Mace guidance system, the JB-57 served to check system reliability of the missile’s ATRAN guidance system. Shown with the Canberra/Mace is a Missile Preflight Tester (MPT) van “counting down” the JB-57. It consists of the MPT test console/cab and a “power pack” auxiliary power unit both mounted on a flat-bed MM1 truck. This unit is identical to those used on the Mace launch pads for countdown and lunch. (Note: the MPT was employed for the original, mobile “single-missile” launch concept: the Mace system was soon reconfigured into the RFML (Rapid Fire Multiple Launch where a single crew counted four missiles down for a rapid launch from a fixed site.)\n\nSembach Air Base was almost unique in the Air Force by having its flight line significantly separated from the administrative/housing area of the base. In this picture, the barracks of “the hill” can be seen almost a mile away, behind the JB-57. This separation dates back to the 1953 origins of the base. When the cold war became hot, land had to be condemned to build numerous new air bases.\n\nSembach’s flight line was built first, on fields condemned by the German government, over strenuous objections of land owners. Soon an administrative and housing area was proposed: landowners objected even more sternly when the German government soon tried to seize the more prime fields adjacent to the village of Sembach. A compromise was reached by building barracks, offices, and family housing farther away on the forested hill; hence the base’s unique configuration.",
null,
"Shown in flight over the New Mexico desert and mountains, the half-TM-76A missile and half B-57B bomber test bed was used extensively for development tests of the missile’s ATRAN (Automatic Terrain Recognition and Navigation guidance system. Two aircraft were converted: USAF S/N 52-1562 and -1539. Both aircraft were later deployed to Sembach AB Germany when the missile system was made operational, to be used for reliability tests. The aircraft were finished natural metal overall, except or “day-glo orange” conspicuity marking bands on forward and rear fuselage, and both wingtips, including tip tanks. Markings were in black, as was the missile radome. The anti-glare panel was black but did not extend over the missile guidance system section, ahead of the day-glo band."

"Hey there! It’s been a while since I’ve communicated through this method. I would tell you where or with what I’ve been busy but that would be a lie.\n\nThe truth is I’ve been doing nothing at all since my exams ended in May. I’ve spent the last three weeks watching the entire How I Met Your Mother show and season 6 of Game of Thrones. Pretty productive, right?\n\nI did plan on writing a ton and doing a lot of other stuff, but I ended up doing none of that. I did however learn to drive which is very cool.\n\nI also did try writing but it just didn’t happen.\n\nDoes it ever happen to ya'll that you're writing an article and half way through you think it's crap and just want to delete it?\n\nSo today I finally took out some time to write this. It’s not what I had in mind when I planned that I was going to write this summer but it’s something at least! I also started on some code so that’s a little progress in that area too. Hopefully I’ll be able to publish all those article ideas I have in my notes before school starts again in August.\n\nAlso, I’m planing on starting a book on wattpad so you can follow me there for more news on that: My Wattpad Profile\n\nUntil next time, cheers!",

"The Seoul Olympics should be a joyous event, a celebration of athletic skills and international cooperation. At least during this brief time, sports should overshadow the dark realities of tribalism and hostilities. The opening ceremonies offered us glimpses of hope: a unified team for North and South Koreans and a handshake between the South Korean leader and the North Korean’s leader’s sister.\n\nVice President Mike Pence, the official representative of the U.S., sat stone-faced during most of the march of nations. He stood up and applauded only when the U.S. team came onstage. America First!\n\nBesides boorishness, Pence’s action symbolizes the attempt to demolish America’s leadership in the world. No leader can maintain leadership if they imply that “I’m the only one who counts and the hell with the rest of you.” Yet Trump’s decisions to withdraw from the Paris Accord, Iran nuclear pact, and other hallmarks of diplomatic progress are decisions that ignore the rest of the globe.\n\nInternational summits, then, have resulted in disasters for Trump during his first year of presidency. At the G-7 of the world’s most powerful nations, he scoffed at both NATO and trade deals. After Trump’s participation in the G-20 summit, an Australian journalist called him “the biggest threat to the values of the west.” The headline from the L.A. Times’ article on the Davos Summit says it all: “Trump’s ‘America first’ approach receives a cold reception at global summit.”\n\nIndeed, the international reactions to Trump’s “America First” mentality indicate a shift that should concern us all. Russian oligarchs have toasted his inaugural speech with champagne and Chinese investors are filling in the economic void left by the U.S. government’s repudiation of global trade. Most nations, though, will not benefit from this shift. Once-faithful allies such as Germany and India must decide whether to step in as leaders themselves or rely on new leaders such as China.\n\nWhat is also troubling is that the U.S. is not some minor country who has had minimal impact on global issues. Consider the following:\n\nØ The U.S. has double the fossil fuel consumption of industrial nations such as Great Britain and Japan—-a key factor for the environment;\n\nØ The average American uses 53 more times resources than a Chinese person, and 35 times than an Indian person;\n\nØ The U.S. maintains 800 bases in 70 countries, thus exerting a multi-billion influence on several regions; and\n\nØ U.S. troops are still in Iraq, Afghanistan, and other hotspots.\n\nBased on these facts, it is impossible to conceive of the U.S. retreating from the global stage as if its presence would not be missed. It would be like pretending that an elephant is not stomping in a neighborhood, crushing everything that is underfoot. The U.S. is simply too large of a presence in the world for it to retreat quietly. It is also unalterably entrenched in international affairs on so many levels: economic, military, etc. During the 1930s when homegrown fascists used the term “America first,” isolationism had a slim chance of actually working. In this twenty-first century, though, the “America First” policy could only result in American self-destructiveness and the destruction of others.\n\nOnce the Trump debacle of a presidency is over and we elect a more sensible leader, this new president will have the tough job of earning the forgiveness of nations affected by the “America First” foreign policy. This reminds me of the class title that a sociology professor had taught after the 9/11 tragedy: “Why they hate us.” Unfortunately, the administration’s current actions are engendering hostility instead of acceptance. After Trump (and maybe Pence) leave office, we will have to look at ourselves unflinchingly. Our experiment with illiberalism should remove any vestige of smugness that “it could never happen here.” Humility, not arrogance, should guide our future diplomatic efforts.\n\nThe U.S. is still a great nation. Globally, we could still provide leadership if we change course because most nations want to work with us on reducing climate change and other challenges. Hopefully, our allies will forgive us for the flawed institutions that are not providing enough checks and balances to limit the president’s power. Despite a possible constitutional crisis in American politics, we must not forget the obligations of the U.S. to the rest of the world. Fighting the “America First” policy means demanding a return to the traditional values of diplomacy and goodwill. As long we keep on resisting America’s descent into a proto-dictatorship, we may earn the forgiveness of other nations one day."

"Fred Grimm has written an incredible illustrated book on the history of German youth that’s a major inspiration for us,“Wir Wollen Eine Andere Welt” (We Want Another World: Youth in Germany 1900 – 2010). Teenage Director Matt Wolf interviews Fred about his “collage of young thoughts and sounds” and our like-minded projects.\n\nMATT WOLF: What inspired you to make a book about German youth through history?\n\nFRED GRIMM: I tried to write a history book in a new way. My main question was: How was life for young Germans in 1901, 1923, 1938, 1957, 1972 and so on? What did they write in their diaries and letters? How did they love, think about politics, their parents, what were their hopes and dreams? The idea was to write a history book through a youthful and contemporary eye, a collage of young thoughts and sounds, which could give us a new view of history.\n\nMATT: Wow, that’s amazing… In so many ways these are the same goals I have for the film Teenage. At first I was concerned there wouldn’t be material from the turn of the century, but I was wrong. Were you surprised by the depth of material you found from so far back?\n\nFRED: I was really thrilled about all the diaries I found in the archives. The texts were in a way really strange because many of them were written brilliantly, but within clear class structures and morals. It was near and far away at once. I read interesting material from young women, who were struggling with the society, which kept them in close borders. I found also material which was surprisingly close to youth feelings from today. It was very hard to come by texts from young workers—they just didn’t have the time to write a diary because they worked like 12, 14 hours a day from a young age on.",
null,
"MATT: Something I’ve always found interesting about German youth culture is the impulse for youth to lead other youth— like in the Wandervogel. It’s different than most pre-WWII American or British youth movements like the Boy Scouts. Why do you think youth were always leading these movements in Germany?\n\nFRED: After 1900 youth was sort of a big projection for different causes. Youth symbolized the New in culture and society, but the conservatives were also eager to get their hands on the young to stabilize their regime. Wer die Jugend hat, hat die Zukunft – Who got the youth, got the future, is a very common slogan from these days, leading to the rise of the Nazis as a really youthful party compared to the other political forces in Weimar Germany.\n\nThe Wandervogel is really, really interesting because there are so many ideas which found a place in this movement: Young left Utopians were Wandervogel, young women who wanted to break the rules as well, but also deeply nationalistic (“völkisch”) racists, anti-Semites and other guys reflecting on German blood. Wandervogel was a youth culture where you could find the soft-spoken longhaired dreamer AND the wannabe-soldier under one umbrella. For me the Wandervogel is a symbol of the dream to become free, to make your own decisions without parents or teachers, a very optimistic way of life.\n\nBut similar to Wandervogel emerged young worker organizations, where young Socialists tried to organize around their own interests and activities. The government thought: okay the Wandervogel is full of crazy bourgeois kids, but they won’t do us any harm because they aren’t that political. But young workers—that could be dangerous for the state—and the government banned all young workers groups in 1908.",
null,
"MATT: I love the layout and design of the book. As a non-German speaker, I was wondering… is the book composed of many quotes from teenagers?\n\nFRED: Yes… from diaries, letters, and essays. It’s a collage, trying to get the sound of the times. And thank you very much for the compliment—we tried hard to get it right, we wanted to include photographs with an authentic style and we used a very readable typography. The art director is Frances Uckermann she’s great! One of the best designers in Germany (but, to be honest, it was her first book, normally she works with magazines…)\n\nMATT: What was one of the most exciting photographs or pieces of archival material you found while researching your book?\n\nFRED: I was deeply moved by the letters young women and men wrote before they were executed by the Nazis. And the stories about the hate against Jews and the concentration camps were really chilling, but not in a voyeuristic way. Can you imagine the feelings of a young girl in a concentration camp who asked a guard for her parents and he just showed her the smoke in heaven: “There they are”!?\n\nI really loved a diary from a young girl in Weimar Germany who changed her boyfriends, like, weekly or so, and the next one would always be her really big love! Very funny.\n\nMATT: The legacy of the Hitler Youth must have been a heavy burden for young people after the war. How do you think that history affected or shaped post-war German youth culture?\n\nFRED: Very much so—they had to get along with their parents who were drilled in Nazi Germany and didn’t changed very much after the war. And they had to come to terms with the shame. I mean, imagine you are fourteen-years-old, it’s 1952, and you know you live in a country where people let their own neighbors be killed, or even killed them by themselves. You got the feeling that the whole society is a masquerade and many young guys felt that anybody who did these crimes had no right to tell them what to do or, more importantly, what not to do.\n\nIt’s a tough upbringing in a country, which you couldn’t really love after all that had happened. There was a lot of public hate against the “Halbstarke,” young Rock’n Roll-Fans, who were described as animals. I read diaries where young girls and boys wrote: “Why do they hate us? We just want to dance and wear the clothes we like.” In that sense many young people after the war had to fight against Nazi Germany as well as against the Germany of the fifties. But I found also a sense of booming optimism of very liberal parents who were able to give their children way more freedom than today.",
null,
"MATT: Today youth culture is very globalized— teenagers in New York probably obsess over the same stuff as their peers in Berlin. But how do you think youth are still different today in Germany than the rest of the world?\n\nFRED: There is never ONE youth I guess. There are some things they share, but I see them as individuals so it’s pretty hard for me to answer this. But I would say German youth are way better, smarter, and nicer than their reputation. You could say this for the last hundred years as well. Young Germans are different for sure, but you might say this for young French, Italian, American teenagers as well.",

"Roughly a year ago, Citizens For Shelter Reform (CFSR), “a coalition of concerned animal advocates who are dedicated to shelter assessment reform, reduced euthanasia, improved care for homeless animals and responsible screening for adopters,” was contacted due to issues at the Franklin County Dog Shelter (FCDS) in Columbus, Ohio.\n\n[CFSR] decided to focus on the assessment process as we believed it was directly contributing to dogs being killed – to the tune of 100 to 200+ per month. Food guarding is the most egregious and we believed the easiest one to get thrown out since even the test’s creator has since spoken out against it.",
null,
"Written in a blog post for the ASPCA, Dr. Emily Weiss, the creator of the SAFER food guarding assessment, states:\n\n…[W]e have concluded that the food guarding assessment simply should not be conducted. As the information (in this case, a dog food guards or does not food guard) has a very high likelihood of being a false positive or negative, so the best approach to food guarding, a natural, normal behavior, is to simply communicate the possibility of food guarding to all adopters.\n\nIn addition to Dr. Weiss’ statements regarding this test’s ineffectiveness, the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) also concurs. Speaking to 10TV, the ASPCA said:\n\nWe have determined that food guarding assessments are not useful tools for shelter dogs because they are not reliable predictors of overall behavior in the home.\n\nTo shape their policies, the FCDS does use the ASPCA, as well as other nationally accredited organizations such as The Humane Society of the United States of America and the American Veterinary Medical Association along with others.\n\nIn an email to BarkPost, Tyler Lowry, Director of Public Affairs for the Franklin County Commissioners, said:\n\nShelter management takes its responsibility to the community very seriously, and is aware of the community movement to remove the so-called food guarding test from the shelter’s behavioral assessments….The ASPCA is considering eliminating the food guarding test from its recommendations but, according to our most recent communication with Dr. Weiss and other ASPCA officials, has not done so yet. If that recommendation is eventually changed, the Franklin County shelter will reassess whether its own policies should be changed to reflect the new recommendation.",
null,
"Prior to media coverage on the FCDS’s use of the food guarding assessment, Luke explained that several members of CFSR met with FCDS leadership, proposing solutions to different issues. Now, as Luke tells BarkPost, it’s become much more difficult to have their voices heard.\n\nSince we have gone public with our concerns (via the media), neither the shelter nor the county has been willing to meet with anyone to discuss anything regarding the shelter. We have even shown up to public county meetings where we are supposed to have the right to address county commissioners but we have been denied the right to speak.",
null,
"CFSR’s opinion is that the longer that FCDS continues to use this inaccurate assessment, the more that dogs will be euthanized. Says Luke:\n\nThe faulty assessment process utilized by FCDS is directly leading to the wrongful deaths of thousands of dogs each and every year — and the public isn’t being made aware of all the facts….Thousands and thousands of Franklin County citizens have spoken out against this assessment process. But nevertheless, the shelter continues to employ this antiquated process which has been proven highly faulty by the ASPCA (and many other expert organizations).",
null,
"In a statement contrary to what CFSR states, Tyler wrote to BarkPost that:\n\nThe food guarding test has been a part of the ASPCA recommendations for quite a while and, as such, has been a part of the Franklin County Dog Shelter’s behavior assessment, but it is only one part. No dogs are euthanized because of the food guarding test. It is one of several useful evaluations that help us make an appropriate placement for the dog.\n\nA petition was created to encourage the shelter to change its assessment tools and to date has garnered more than 6,000 signatures and over 100 pages of comments.\n\nThe importance of taking action on a situation such as this isn’t lost on Luke, as he shared with BarkPost.\n\nI…believe (with total conviction) that we all have a responsibility and a duty to protect the defenseless and to speak up for those without a voice — even if that creates some discomfort….Hundreds of innocent lives are being failed each and every month. They have no ability to speak out. They are counting on us, all of us, to be their voice.\n\nFeatured image via The Blade"

"Our real-time monitoring system allows us to compute the net consumption of EPFL buildings, which is equal to the load minus the production of solar panels. During an eclipse, the net consumption increases because the solar panel production decreases. The last solar eclipse in Lausanne occurred on 2015 March 20th between 09:23 and 11:43 with a maximum at 10:31. Below we show a zoom on the power drawn from the grid during the period between 09:00 and 12:00 (180 minutes).\n\nWe derive the power flow at the slack bus of the EL feeder from the voltage and current measurements taken by the PMUs every 20ms. . The first graph shows the full resolution of our monitoring system (20ms), the second one shows 1-min averages of the same data. In both cases, the red line represents the day of the eclipse and we can see the “bump” in the middle of the graph that corresponds to the period when the eclipse was around its maximum. We do not observe a similar behavior on the other days.",

"Shares in the UK's largest housebuilders bounced this morning, after the Conservatives pledged to make 200,000 \"starter homes\" available cheap for first-time buyers if they win the election.\n\nThe scheme is an extension of plans announced on Friday to make 100,000 homes available to first-time buyers at a 20 per cent discount.\n\nThe Conservative Party said it will pay for the homes by waiving requirements – including Section 106 and the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) – which forces housebuilders to make contributions of roughly £45,000 per dwelling to the local authority to pay for public realm projects, from affordable housing to new schools and parks.\n\nThe Tories said the scheme will help to bring forward more brownfield sites, which would otherwise have not been cost-effective for housebuilders to build on.\n\nIn a speech today, Prime Minister David Cameron will say \"too many\" 20- and 30-somethings have been \"denied… the security that comes with having a home\".\n\nThe couple who want a child but can't afford to upsize – even though they both have full-on, full-time jobs. It shouldn't be this way.\nOur goal is a Britain where everyone who works hard can have a home of their own.\n\nAlthough the Tories have made housing a central focus of their recovery plan, the number of houses being built in the UK fell 0.2 per cent in the last quarter of 2014, the first time the figure has declined in two years.\nConstruction output fell 2.1 per cent during the quarter, although the government said 137,000 new homes were started in 2014.\nThe Bank of England's Mortgage Market Review, which prevented banks from lending no more than 4.5 times borrowers' salary and forced them to undergo \"stress tests\", has been widely blamed for falls in house price growth and mortgage borrowing."

He attended Bishops school and graduated through the ranks of Western Province to make his senior professional debut in 2006.\n\nAccording to a statement made by Free State Rugby president Jerry Segwaba, SA Rugby made the decision on the fact the Springboks had to return to their teams, both local and overseas, by Monday, meaning that there just was not enough time to include the central province in the schedule."

"Building a world of difference\n\nA general contractor specializing in concrete construction rehabilitation, CCR Construction began in 1998 and has grown with the times, its capabilities and capacities becoming more expansive.\n\nBased in Regina, and serving the entire province of Saskatchewan, CCR Construction completes projects across various sectors, from commercial, to industrial, to institutional.\n\n“Probably 75 per cent of our work is in institutional and commercial. Institutional is predominant from the perspective of schools, courthouses, hospitals, etc., but we also do many different types of corporate offices and administration buildings,” Trevor Bagnall, President of CCR Construction, told The Canadian Business Journal.\n\nCCR Construction has an impressive portfolio of projects across Saskatchewan. Among those is its major project partnership with BMO and Corporate Contracting. Recently rebranding from Bank of Montreal to BMO, CCR Construction worked alongside the financial institutional to renovate 16 bank branches in Saskatchewan, everything from updating signage, to carpet, to countertops, and more.\n\n“It was an interesting project because they rolled it out right across the province,” Bagnall commented.\n\nCurrently, CCR Construction is completing a major renovation of the courthouse in Weyburn, Sask. As a provincial heritage building, the Weyburn Court House must be renovated in light of its original practices—from materials, to look, with a great emphasis on detail.\n\n“The renovation is for accessibility and re-life,” Bagnall explained. “We’ve revamped the entire building from top to bottom, adding an elevator, all new interior finishes, all new mechanical and electrical, and rehabilitated exterior finishes.\n\n“It is a very interesting project from the perspective that it is a heritage site.”\n\nThe Oskana Centre, of Regina, meanwhile, involved the construction of a new 20,000 square foot institutional building, equipped with security spaces. A halfway house for Corrections Canada, the Oskana Centre project included everything from offices to interview rooms and cells, being very aware of security nuances of the structure, including internal security, video security, and card access security.\n\nAdditional projects completed by CCR Construction include the St. Joseph’s Hospital Renal Dialysis Unit of Estevan, the White City Town Office, the Emmanuel Lutheran Church of Southey, the Lakeside Nursing Home of Wolseley, as well as commercial projects for TD Bank, Sand Hills Credit Union, and The Medicine Shoppe. Another project, the Asset Management Facility of the City of Regina, a 10,000 square foot commercial office building, is described as “architecturally pleasing.”\n\nAnd while most of Canada, and the world, was feeling economic pressures, the same cannot be said for Saskatchewan. The province is booming financially and the global recession is not impacting Saskatchewan. Rather, this is some of the busiest times for CCR Construction.\n\n“It had a few months when it dipped with the big announcements in the United States, but the reality in Saskatchewan is that it is predominantly resource driven, our economy has not been in recession at all,” Bagnall said. “Our economy has been full steam ahead, so it has been quite the opposite.”\n\nIn fact, with the strength of the local economy, there is currently an influx of out-of-province companies operating in Saskatchewan, only upping the demand for local building and construction.\n\nThis has led CCR Construction to focus even more so on what has made it competitive and successful. Bagnall concluded, “In the construction industry, many sub-contracting companies have come in from outside areas, so we’re staying efficient and competitive. We’re quite lean and small. We’ve been in this environment for our entire lives, so our real advantage is that even though we have the capacity to do larger projects, we’re small, personable, and we have good relationships with our clients and our sub-contractors.\n\n“Being fair and reputable, it helps us to always be competitive and to know where we can give the best service with the most competitive cost. We’re finding efficiencies, so we continue to provide a fair service for a fair cost.”"

"Wingman rule number one: don’t fall for a client.\n\nAfter a career-ending accident, former NFL recruit Ian Hunter is back on campus—and he’s ready to get his new game on. As one of the masterminds behind Wingmen, Inc., a successful and secretive word-of-mouth dating service, he’s putting his extensive skills with women to work for the lovelorn. But when Blake Olson requests the services of Wingmen, Inc., Ian may have landed his most hopeless client yet.\nFrom her frumpy athletic gear to her unfortunate choice of footwear, Blake is going to need a miracle if she wants to land her crush. At least with a professional matchmaker by her side she has a fighting chance. Ian knows that his advice and a makeover can turn Blake into another successful match. But as Blake begins the transformation from hot mess to smokin’ hot, Ian realizes he’s in danger of breaking his cardinal rule.…\n\nReview: I loved this so much! It was such funny, charming, and sexy romance to read. Rachel Van Dyken has honestly become an auto-read author for me so I don’t even question that her books will be great every time. Ian and Blake’s story is no exception!\n\nIan and his best friend Lex run Wingmen Inc. which is basically a dating service where they help girls get the guy they want. The one rule of Wingmen Inc.? No falling for the clients, which is no problem because both guys are afraid to commit and love to play the field.\n\nEnter Blake. When Ian first meets his best friend’s new roommate, she is not what he expected at all. She’s wearing basketball shorts, a baggy sweatshirt, and nike flip flops that make him cringe. Totally not his type. Then, when Ian is waiting for his next client to show up, Blake is the last person he expects to see. She’s never even been kissed, let alone been on a date or lost her virginity. As he helps her get the guy she wants, Ian realizes he wants the one girl he can’t have.\n\nThis was such a slow-burn romance because there was so much innuendo and the off-limits factor was insane! Ian and Blake had so much chemistry going for them with their constant banter and insults. I have to give it him, Ian had some pretty amazing self-control when it came to Blake being his client.\n\nOne of my favourite parts of the book was definitely the subplot with frenemies Gabi and Lex! They were constantly at each other’s throats and I need more of them. Now their chemistry is off the charts and I can’t wait for more of them in the sequel."

"A joy to be alive\n\nI can’t believe its the last day of Diabetes Awareness Month. When I set myself the task of writing a post a day it felt daunting. How was I going to come up with something to say every single day about diabetes? Turns out it’s not that hard. When you live with diabetes 24/7 there’s always something to say!\n\nThat’s the thing about the passage of time, it’s a human construct. We’ve decided based on a calendar we’ve created as to what time, day and month it is. Have you ever wondered what time it is on the sun? Timeless.\n\nLiving with diabetes is like that. It never ends. I’d like to think there’s a cure around the corner, but I’m realistic. For now the management tools we have available are enough. I’ve added yoga, ayurveda and a primarily plant based whole food, organic diet. I use every peer support group available and do my best to give back to the community. That’s the cool thing about living with type 1 diabetes I’m not alone. In every country around the world I know people just like me thriving.\n\nAt diagnosis I isolated myself and lived with guilt and shame until it became imperative that I educate myself about my condition. I still can’t believe it took me six years to do that. It shows how much the internet and knowledge around the condition have shifted in the last decade. A very good sign.",

"With such positive changes in the way the general public and the diabetes community perceive diabetes I can only hope and pray that the situation around insulin pricing also changes for the better. No one should have to pay for their life.\n\nLiving with diabetes certainly isn’t boring, it’s a never ending kaleidoscope of unpredictability that put’s me on the razors edge. But I’m up for the task. It’s given me a strength I never knew I had, a conviction to make a difference and a willingness to let go of my ideas of how I think things should be.\n\nLiving with a chronic illness is more than just rising above a condition. It’s about living life to the fullest without preconceived notions, other people’s standards or idealised projections."
