"Growing up she would talk about how this devastated her life," Cain said. "She loved San Francisco very much and she passed that on to me." |
Communities up and down the San Andreas fault planned to commemorate the earthquake Tuesday. In Santa Rosa, where 119 of the 7,500 citizens were killed, 119 volunteers dressed in vintage garb would walk by candlelight behind a horse-drawn hearse to the cemetery where 15 earthquake victims were buried in a mass grave. |
San Jose, which was also hard-hit, has staged a geology exhibit called "It's Our Fault, Too." At the Exploratorium science museum in San Francisco, an artist sculpted a quivering San Francisco neighborhood in Jell-O. |
Historians generally agree on one point: that San Francisco will fall again in a future quake. But they disagree over whether people should love the city or leave it. |
A study released Monday determined that a repeat of that 1906 temblor today would cause 1,800 to 3,400 deaths, damage more than 90,000 buildings, displace as many as 250,000 households and result in $150 billion in damage. |
Philip L. Fradkin, author of The Great Earthquake And Firestorms Of 1906: How San Francisco Nearly Destroyed Itself, has chosen to make the Bay Area his home in spite of the threat. |
Fradkin lives in Point Reyes Station, north of San Francisco. The San Andreas Fault, source of the magnitude-7.8 temblor, runs close by. |
"San Francisco fell, and it will fall again," Fradkin said. "And if we can't deal with the realities of history, we're lost." |
Born c. 937, Octavian was the illegitimate son of Alberic II and was just 18 when elected to the papacy as John XII in 955. Seven years later, Otto I helped John recover papal lands from Berengarius II, and John crowned Otto Holy Roman Emperor. However, when Otto proclaimed the Privilegium Ottonianum, which declared th... |
Does being underweight cause problems in pregnancy? |
Home » Frequently asked Questions on Health » Does being underweight cause problems in pregnancy? |
Q: My 27 years old friend weighs 43 kg and her height is 158 cm. Her Body Mass Index (BMI) reflects that she is underweight. Will being underweight cause her problems during pregnancy? |
A:Putting on weight is easier than shedding it. She can try having a high calorie, high protein meals for some time, and she will surely gain weight. Yes, being too much underweight can lead to smaller babies, during pregnancy, as well as premature labour. |

Championship leaders Brighton & Hove Albion had a frustrating afternoon as they were held to a 0-0 draw at home by Preston North End. |
Albion were without central midfield duo Dale Stephens and Beram Kayal, while captain Gordon Greer and Kazenga LuaLua had not recovered from injuries to return to the squad. |
The hosts even played the eight minutes of injury-time with ten men after left-back Gaetan Bong was stretchered off. |
Both sides had opportunities in the first half but Brighton struggled to create any clear openings in the second half and Preston sub Joe Garner went closest to a winner when his header was headed off the line by Bruno. |
Brighton had the first sight of goal after just three minutes when Sam Baldock brilliantly controlled Bruno’s long ball forward but then fired wide of the far post. |
Albion had another chance after seven minutes when Baldock back-heeled Lewis Dunk’s long ball forward to Tomer Hemed but he blazed over from the edge of the area. |
The visitors then had a decent shout for a penalty two minutes later when Dunk was caught the wrong side of Jordan Hugill, who appeared to be pulled back, but referee Andy Davies waved play on. |
Preston then went close on 13 minutes when Eoin Doyle met Paul Gallagher’s corner at the near post but David Stockdale pushed away the header. |
A mazy run by Brighton’s Jamie Murphy resulted in a free kick on the edge of the penalty area on 23 minutes, from which Rosenior and Murphy combined well before the latter’s low strike was saved low to his left by Preston keeper Jordan Pickford. |
The hosts created another opening on 32 minutes with Murphy’s inswinging free kick appearing to be destined for the net until a slight deflection from a Preston player took the ball over the bar. |
Just two minutes later, it was Preston’s turn to threaten as Alan Browne threaded a pass through to Hugill, whose low shot was saved low down to his left by Stockdale. Seagulls defender Uwe Huneemeir was kicked in the head in the build-up to the chance but returned to the pitch after a couple of minutes of treatment fo... |
Brighton were awarded another free kick in a dangerous position in the 40th minute when Bailey Wright was booked for a foul on Hemed but Gaetan Bong’s free kick hit the wall as the game was scoreless at half-time. |
It was Preston who had the first opening of the second period when Adam Reach broke forn the left before finding Gallagher 20 yards out but he fired well wide. |
Albion boss Chris Hughton introduced the matchwinner from the previous two games, Bobby Zamora, on 62 minutes and he was right into the action as he had a shot blocked shortly after his introduction. |
The visitors’ Greg Cunningham flicked a header just wide from Gallagher’s free kick on 66 minutes, before Preston introduced striker Garner, who returned to action after a three-game ban. Solly March replaced Liam Rosenior at the same time for Brighton. |
Albion struggled to get going in the second half and Preston went close twice in quick succession after 71 minutes. Daniel Johnson miskicked Gallagher’s free kick when well placed, before Gallagher crossed the ball back in and Garner’s header at the back post was headed off the line by the back-peddling Bruno. |
At the other end, Rohan Ince blasted high and wide with 15 minutes to go as home fans’ frustrations began to grow, while Preston’s Browne had a dangerous low cross shot gathered by Stockdale on 82 minutes. |
Albion left-back Gaetan Bong was stretchered off on 88 minutes, which meant the hosts finished the game with ten men having used all their substitutes. |
Preston finished strongly in the eight minutes of injury-time and Gallagher had a shot deflected over, before Garner volleyed a corner over from just six yards in injury-time as the points were shared. |
BRIGHTON: Stockdale; Bruno, Hunemeier, Dunk, Bong; Rosenior (March 66), Ince, Crofts, Murphy (Holla 79); Baldock, Hemed (Zamora 62). Unused subs: Maenpaa, Calderon, Goldson, Manu. |
PRESTON: Pickford; Vermijl (Huntingdon 85), Woods, Wright, Cunningham, Reach; Browne, Johnson, Gallagher; Doyle (Garner 66), Hugill. Unused subs: Kirkland, Kilkenny, Keane, Welsh,, May. |
Led by an experienced offensive line and a polished attack spearheaded by quarterback Jack Etter, running back Brady Feldmann and all-state wide receiver Sam LaPorta, Highland averaged 46.1 points, while giving up only 9.3 points per game. Only Alton stayed within 21 points of Highland this season. The Bulldogs defeate... |
While Highland enters the postseason playing perhaps its best football of the year, Warnecke still wonders if his team has been tested enough and how it will react in close games. So far in ‘18, Highland hasn’t been pushed. |
The Hulk will have a major part in the upcoming "Thor: Ragnarok." |
Mark Ruffalo said in an interview that "a standalone Hulk movie will never happen." |
The issue is due to Universal owning the rights to a standalone Hulk movie. |
Ruffalo took over the role from Edward Norton in "The Avengers" five years ago. |
Mark Ruffalo is crushing any remaining hope that Hulk will get a solo movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. While Hulk technically does already have a solo film in the MCU with Edward Norton's "The Incredible Hulk," since Ruffalo took over the role, fans have continued to hope that he could one day lead a solo film o... |
Any of Marvel's plans to maybe do a solo Hulk film appear to have been folded into "Thor: Ragnarok," where Hulk will be the co-star and live out a version of the Planet Hulk story. Even with Hulk being a fan-favorite now, his future will not hold a solo film. |
"I just want to make one thing perfectly clear today that a standalone Hulk movie will never happen. Because Universal has the rights to the standalone Hulk movie and for some reason they don't know how to play well with Marvel, and they don't want to make money." |
Mark Ruffalo first portrayed The Hulk in "The Avengers." |
Marvel has never indicated that another Hulk film would happen, but have routinely said it is something they've discussed. Well, it appears those discussions will not continue any more, even with Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige's never-say-never approach. Ruffalo's response is far more emotional with him taking a few c... |
With Hulk not having a future in standalone films, he should continue to be a major supporting character in other, larger films moving forward. Assuming he is still around following his appearance in "Avengers: Infinity War" and presumably "Untitled Avengers" as well, it would not be surprising to see him appear in oth... |

What Is a Deck in Marketing? |
How Does Market Segmentation Tie to Integrated Communication? |
What is a Template in PowerPoint? |
Called the "pitch deck," "sales deck" or, in some cases, just "the deck," a deck is a presentation prepared by a company or would-be venture, often given in the form of PowerPoint slides, that lays out to potential clients or investors a plan or vision of the company's resources and potential. Less bulky than a busines... |
It's not the colors or imagery that counts in a deck, says technology media website TechCrunch, but the passion you convey. Nonetheless, for the sake of brevity, you should be looking at 10 to 15 slides and no more, with the slides serving as visual aids to the broader story. When presenting the slides in the deck, tho... |
The Bloom Group suggests making the deck an opportunity to have a conversation with the client rather than feeding him a list of bullet points via monologue. To this end, it advises saving some of the extra detail for the reader script, rather than cramming everything onto the slides. A sample deck for the IT industry ... |
TechCrunch, which reviewed thousands of pitches by seed capital seekers, found that certain ingredients were useful in the eventual success of the deck. A succinct one-line description of the company helped pull the company's product and vision together, while accessibility of the deck via PDF and other media, rather t... |
A deck may be customized to suit a particular audience, rather than being a static boilerplate. Pragmatic Marketing suggests preparing "branch slides" for specific departments to elaborate on issues of specific importance to them. Give sales representatives the latitude to tilt the focus of the deck depending on whom t... |
Hillary Clinton gave her big economic speech today. As is my wont, I plowed through the transcript and excerpted only those parts that are actual policy proposals. This is sometimes a judgment call, but I think I got most of them. I didn’t include any vague prescriptions that she promised to explain in detail in later ... |
Digest version of the speech, condensed to about two minutes of reading time. |
Let me begin with strong growth. |
….Empower entrepreneurs with less red tape, easier access to capital, tax relief and simplification…. business tax reform to spur investment in America, closing those loopholes that reward companies for sending jobs and profits overseas….comprehensive immigration reform….infrastructure bank that can channel more public... |
….Fund the scientific and medical research that spawns innovative companies and creates entire new industries….breaking down barriers so more Americans participate more fully in the workforce — especially women….family-friendly policies….fair pay and fair scheduling, paid family leave and earned sick days, child care a... |
….Beyond strong growth, we also need fair growth. |
….We have to raise the minimum wage and implement President Obama’s new rules on overtime….crack down on bosses who exploit employees by misclassifying them as contractors or even steal their wages….defending and enhancing Social Security….encourage companies to share profits with their employees….reforming our tax cod... |
….Every 4-year old in America [should] have access to high-quality preschool in the next ten years….80% of your brain is physically formed by age of three….intervention to help those often-stressed out young moms understand more about what they can do and avoid the difficulties that stand in the way of their being able... |
….The third key driver of income alongside strong growth and fair growth must be long-term growth. |
….A new $1,500 apprenticeship tax credit….reform capital gains taxes to reward longer-term investments that create jobs more than just quick trades….[Make] sure stock buybacks aren’t being used only for an immediate boost in share prices….Empowering outside investors who want to build companies but discouraging “cut an... |
….Serious risks are emerging from institutions in the so-called “shadow banking” system….I will appoint and empower regulators who understand that Too Big To Fail is still too big a problem….ensure that no firm is too complex to manage or oversee….prosecute individuals as well as firms when they commit fraud or other c... |
….You know passing legislation is not the only way to drive progress. As President, I’ll use the power to convene, connect, and collaborate to build partnerships that actually get things done. Because above all, we have to break out of the poisonous partisan gridlock and focus on the long-term needs of our country. |
This is not about your neighborhood. |
Probably not, at least. The demographics of newspaper readership being what they are, you likely do not live in Liberty Square or anyplace like it. |
Maria Williams does live in Liberty Square. She wishes she did not. |
�I�m low-income,� she recently told my colleague, Miami Herald reporter Frances Robles, �but I have a right to have a safe environment.� It was in its way a statement of basic human dignity. One is reminded of Franklin Roosevelt�s enumeration of the Four Freedoms. The fourth was freedom from fear. |
