I can't speak for Godel's original proof since I haven't seen it before, but I certainly found Computability and Logic to be pretty approachable. It's the textbook used for UC Berkeley's "Intermediate Logic" philosophy course (in other words, it's so easy even philosophy majors can understand it! :P).
From my understanding, C<|fim_middle|> by Jean van Heijenoort. | &L diverges from Godel's original proof technique in order to make it easier to follow, but it's much more rigorous and explicit than what you'd find in Godel, Escher, Bach or something. It's still a textbook.
I have been through a slew of logic texts. By far, my favorite for both theory and practice is Computability and Logic by Boolos, Burgess and Jeffrey.
Another very good book on nuts and bolts proofs in both propositional and predicate logic is Beginning Logic by E. J. Lemmon.

Obesity is increasing worldwide and is fast becoming the world's biggest health problem.
Recent reports suggest that it may soon overtake smoking as a serious health risk. The level of obesity in the UK has tripled in the past 30 years. On current estimates, more than half the population could be obese by 2050. The worldwide increase is also spreading to areas of developing countries where there's easier access to an over-processed diet, over-large food portions and less need to be active in daily lives.
Obesity is caused simply by an imbalance between energy intake and energy expenditure. The average adult needs about 2000kCal/day. Any excess intake over this is stored by the body. Continued excess calories input therefore over time results in obesity.
Headlines in the news recently have highlighted the fact that in the UK, about 66% of adults are now overweight or 'clinically' obese (at least 2-3 stone overweight). Of these, 22% of men and 23% of women are obese meaning their weight is putting their health at considerable risk!
Unsurprisingly, obesity is rising among children too! In an era where we don't<|fim_middle|> source of calories so eating less fat and fatty foods will help you lose weight. Reduce the amount of fat you eat, particularly saturated fats as this type of fat is linked to heart disease. Choose unsaturated fats or oils, especially monounsaturated fat (eg olive oil and rapeseed oil) as these are better for your heart. If you can, aim to reduce or better still, cut out foods such as cheese, butter and fatty meat. Try to use lower fat dairy foods such as skimmed milk and low fat yogurts. When cooking, grill, steam or oven bake instead of frying or cooking with oil or other fats.
Eat more fruit and vegetables… Aim for at least five servings in total a day to provide you with vitamins and fibre. This will help you get a good balance in your overall diet.
Aim to eat at least two portions of oily fish a week… Oily fish contains a type of polyunsaturated fat called omega 3 which helps protect against heart disease. Eat oily fish such as mackerel, sardines, salmon or pilchards.
Limit sugar and sugary foods… It is important to limit the amount of sugar in your diet but it does not mean you need to eat a sugar-free diet. Sugar can be used in baking as part of a healthy diet.
Reduce salt in your diet… You should reduce the salt in your diet to 6g or less a day as more than this can raise your blood pressure which can lead to a stroke or heart disease. Limit the amount of processed foods you eat and try flavouring foods with herbs and spices instead of salt.
Drink alcohol in moderation only… That's a maximum of 2 units of alcohol per day for a woman and 3 units per day for a man. At Dom's Gym we don't preach total abstinence as part of our dietary advice because we appreciate that life is for living! However, if you are serious about losing weight then you should cut out all alcohol during this period…remember alcohol contains empty calories! Once you are down to, and are in control of, your desired weight then the occasional drink is acceptable. Never drink and drive. | like to attribute blame or it's 'un-PC' to criticize people for being overweight, there is no getting away from the fact that in general, overweight parents raise overweight children. If the family eat the wrong foods at the wrong times then a child will tend to follow suit.
In the past ten years despite a wealth of dietary advice, obesity has doubled in 6 year olds and trebled among 15 year olds. If we continue to make excuses and don't begin to deal with the issues head on these figures will continue to rise. Overweight children are more likely to become overweight adults.
These statistics are alarming because being overweight and especially being obese, can not only shave an average of nine years from our lifespan, but can increase risk of many health problems. These include Type 2 diabetes, heart disease, certain cancers, strokes, back and joint pain, osteoarthritis, high blood pressure and gallstones. It can also cause infertility, breathlessness, depression, snoring, difficulty sleeping and excessive sweating.
Being obese is not an issue of vanity. It can stop us getting the best from life and puts our day-to-day health at serious risk.
Being overweight can seriously affect your health but often people have their own reasons for losing weight. We believe following expert dietary advice and making long term changes to your lifestyle can bring huge rewards. Whether you want to look good on the beach, play football with your children without feeling out of breath or complete that DIY project without the aches and pains, losing weight and keeping it off is well worth the effort.
The following are some general rules to what constitutes a healthy diet.
Eat little and often… Avoid skipping meals, especially breakfast! Spreading your breakfast, lunch and evening meal at regular intervals throughout the day will help control your appetite.
Eat starchy carbohydrate foods… For a healthy balanced diet it is important to include starchy carbohydrate foods such as pasta, bread, potatoes, noodles, rice and cereals at each meal. Diets that say otherwise are wrong!
Cut down on fats… Fat is the greatest | 419 |

| Q: How to prevent email refresh while viewing email in Windows 8? I am running Windows 8 Enterprise in VMware 8.0.3 and the VM has 5GB of RAM.
When I am reading Gmail in the WinRT Mail app, the list of emails and the preview/view pane will frequently disappear completely while it refreshes or something. This may be happening in Hotmail as well, but I use Gmail more frequently.
I thought maybe it was pinging the mail server too often so I modified the settings to:
Download new mail: Every 15 Min
However it is still happening.
It is hard to read email when the screen keeps blanking out while the app refreshes. Does anyone know why this is happening or how to control it?
A: Intel graphics drivers on the host are going to exhibit these sorts of problems until Intel fixes their drivers. It also occurs on VMware Workstation 9, by the way. In the guest, run the Chrome browser with hardware acceleration disabled, and disable desktop effects (make sure dwm.exe isn't running) in the meantime to workaround it.
May also occur with other non-Intel graphics drivers.
A: You could try uninstall vmware tools and reinstalling them without the vmware graphics driver. Just be sure to make a snapshot before you make any radical changes for your own sake. I haven't used e-mail apps so much on vmware, but I have been setting up test system enviroments at work | 304 |
In this world, most people strive to fit in and be "normal". They don't want to stand out and be different, because they are afraid of harassment and lack of acceptance. But for those of you who are truly angels incarnated as humans –living a temporal existence on earth for the time being, I have an important message for you. Rather than compromising your worthy ideals for the sake of acceptance from people who will never accept you anyway, go ahead and follow your dreams. Decide what worthy goal you want to achieve and go for it. You're here to be creative with<|fim_middle|> into your life, and into your heart, and you will not only get what you asked for, you will find greater peace within.
Remember, all of our lives are composed of years, months, and days, and each of us can only live one day at a time. So, realizing this, it is important to go toward your goal one day at a time, thinking about, planning, and working toward your goal step by step, pacing yourself wisely, and having faith that with each step you take, and with the help of angels, you are getting that much closer to manifesting your goal. | your lives. You're not here to just look around for some little niche to be normal in.
In finding a worthy goal and achieving it, the first step is to take the time to daydream, and pay attention to the desires that surface. By doing this, you are allowing your subconscious to help you determine your goals.
The second step in getting what you really want is to be grateful for what you already have. This is a necessary step.
Beauty and blessings are all around. Angelic blessings of many kinds are brought to you each day. When you begin to notice this, and to consciously be grateful for what is already there, you open your heart, you relax, and become better at receiving. Then the angels are able to pour blessings | 151 |
I breed and raise angelfish in a 3000 gallon hatchery near Buffalo, New York. This effort started as a very small hobby and has expanded through the years into a nice breeding program. We<|fim_middle|> angelfish from Angelmania! | don't try to compete with large fish farms which crank out thousands upon thousands of fish. Our goal is to provide healthy, affordable angelfish of the highest quality. We specialize in rare angelfish types that are very popluar with people in the hobby, but which are extremely difficult to find commercially available. We spare no effort in the best breeding and husbandry techniques to produce excellent stock.
Angelmania is a small family-run operation. We personally fill all orders, make all communications, etc. This allows a very personal response to every single order. I don't profess to be an expert website developer, or salesman. I do however think that over the past few years, I've been able to raise some exceptional angelfish. That's the enjoyment of the hobby, right?
I concentrate on raising fish of the highest quality. This is the reason I'm not selling very many fish to local fish stores. I'm now using the internet to reach a large, specialized audience interested in finding their perfect angelfish. I'm always happier with quality over quantity when it comes to breeding fish.
I hope you have a great experience shopping for and receiving | 234 |
2017. Directed by Edgar Wright.
(Image: Sony)
Wow. Like holy shit, wow. Ok, I was excited to see this one. I counted down the days for Baby Driver, the new movie from Edgar Wright<|fim_middle|> cast. Buddy and Darling (Jon Hamm and Eliza Gonzalez, having a blast with the material) are cool as hell lovers turned bank robbers on the run, and I dream of the day that we get a spin off movie about them. Jamie Foxx is the menacing and unpredictable Bats, and I wish we'd got more of Jon Bernthal's deliciously despicable Griff. I loved seeing Flea pop as Eddie, but my favourite has to be Lanny Joon's scene stealing, tattoo regretting, Halloween mask confusing, JD. I'm praying to the movie gods that Joon and Wright can team up again soon, and next time give him a bigger role.
I only wish I'd cared more about the central characters. Baby and Deborah aren't at all bad, they just don't score that special place in my heart as previous Edgar Wright creations. For me, his films had always placed characters of such truth and honesty within the over the top genres, and I feel this is missing here. Or maybe, over time and with more viewings, Baby will grow on me and for now I'm just being stubborn with my devotion to Simon Pegg. Time will tell.
See it loud and see it on the big screen, you're in for a wild ride.
Baby Driver is out now at your local cinema!
- movie man about adelaide - | (look him up, the guy rules), and locked in a preview screening at the Norwood cinema a week before the general release. As an added bonus, every ticket came with a pair of Baby Driver headphones! And then the movie happened.
It was good, baby, it was real good. Like Wright's previous films, Baby Driver plays out like a joyful love letter to cinema, celebrating its chosen genre (this time the heist movie), while serving up its own story and delightful characters. This time around, it's also a love letter to music, as we're introduced to Baby (the handsomely charismatic Ansel Elgort), who lives his life almost permanently plugged in to his iPod, giving us the pumping soundtrack that the movie drives by. It's deliriously enjoyable from its opening moments as Baby, ready at the wheel while the bank robbery takes place across the street, taps and sings along to the Jon Spencer Blues Explosions' Bellbottoms, before thrusting the car full throttle in the first of many car chase sequences.
He may be the best getaway driver that crime boss Doc (Kevin Spacey doing Kevin Spacey) has ever seen, but Baby has a heart of gold. Forced behind the wheel to pay off an old debt, Baby becomes determined to find a way out when he meets Debora and the two plan on leaving town together. But getting out isn't easy. As Bats puts it, "the moment you catch feelings, is the moment you catch a bullet."
Baby Driver excels at giving us some of the best adrenaline pumping action sequences I've seen in the cinema since Mad Max Fury Road, and it really shines when giving us time with its superbly dynamic supporting | 347 |

Out Loud: Nathan Heller and Joshua Rothman on Élite Colleges
By The New Yorker
[audio url="https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/164737961"]
In this week's magazine, Nathan Heller reviews William Deresiewicz's "Excellent Sheep: The M<|fim_middle|> Havisham-esque helicopter parents who try to achieve their own self-actualization through the achievements of their children. And, he argues, it produces college graduates who have no idea how their lives make sense except within this narrow track of achievement."
The argument, Heller comments, has been greeted with widespread agreement. "It is indeed a subject of concern," he says, "certainly for a lot of students, but I think also, and perhaps even more, for members of some of the older generations, who look at their own college experiences and then look at the college experiences of their children, and who see an alarming discontinuity."

What Is An Ectopic Pregnancy And Why Does It Happen?
In a normal pregnancy, a fertilized egg implants in the wall of the uterus, where a fetus has room to grow. An ectopic (or "tubal") pregnancy occurs when a fertilized egg implants somewhere outside<|fim_middle|> about education, for patients and clinicians alike. In her free time, she enjoys spending time with her family, reading, traveling, and attending live music events. | of the uterus. In most, but not all, cases this happens in one of the two fallopian tubes. An ectopic pregnancy can be dangerous and even life-threatening. This is because as the pregnancy grows, it doesn't have enough room. It can cause the tube to rupture, which leads to internal bleeding and possibly shock.
Why an ectopic pregnancy happens?
What are the signs and symptoms of an ectopic pregnancy?
In the beginning, an ectopic pregnancy feels like any normal pregnancy, with tender breasts, a missed period, and feeling tired. But eventually other signs and symptoms occur, such as vaginal bleeding and pain. A woman with an ectopic pregnancy will probably experience cramping on one side of the lower abdomen and pelvis, but low back pain and general pelvic pain can also occur. It is also possible that a woman may not experience any symptoms until it ruptures.
In the event of a ruptured ectopic pregnancy, the lower abdominal and pelvic pain becomes more severe. This can happen suddenly. There may also be shoulder pain, dizziness, weakness, and fainting. On examination by a clinician, the woman's abdomen will be tender to touch, and a gynelogical exam will be very painful. Additionally, her vital signs (blood pressure, heart rate, and breathing rate) may be abnormal.
Any of these signs and symptoms needs to be addressed immediately.
How do I know if I have an ectopic pregnancy?
Because early ectopic pregnancies aren't always seen with ultrasound, a test for the level of a hormone called human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) may also be helpful. This hormone is secreted by the developing embryo and placenta. By watching how much the hCG level changes over a couple of days, doctors can use this to help determine if there's an ectopic pregnancy. In other words, if they can't see a pregnancy in the uterus and the hCG level doesn't behave like it should, this could indicate that there's an ectopic pregnancy.

The following photos were sent to me by Stan Hall. Stan was a member of D company<|fim_middle|> and Lonnie Hartline*.
I noticed Lonnie Hartline in one of the pictures. He was in the fourth platoon at one point and his nickname was "Lucky". Lucky, I recall, had a reputation for blowing up rats with the Claymore mine explosive caps back on the LZ or the base camp (he would wrap food around them, wait for the rat to get close enough, and then blow it). I heard that he was unlucky at this one night and the cap blew up in his hand and he lost a finger. Lucky was possibly our best rifleman at one time, very good with an M-16. One of my early actions in 1969, probably June or July, fourth platoon was walking drag for the company, I was the RTO and we stopped along the trail. Lucky had his rifle taken apart and was cleaning it, I was brushing my teeth, and the gooks slipped up on us and cut loose. They shot Larry Green, the former RTO who gave me the radio, in the leg while he was nearby taking a crap, think they got him in the calf of the leg. So there we were, I had a mouth full of toothpaste and Lucky had his rifle torn apart. But I do remember that Lucky got that rifle back together in a flash and returned fire very quickly and he may have still been standing up, can't be sure now. Lucky was a natural warrior. Green got his million dollar wound. We all envied him, he was the only casualty that day, no one was killed.

Journalist-turned-comms director Paul Mylrea has been through it all - and lives to tell the tale, writes Matt Cartmell.
Paul Mylrea has done well to come through his career unscathed. He has worked through numerous disasters, including floods, earthquake, the sinking of the MS Herald of Free Enterprise and the 7/7 bombings, when he was heading comms at Transport for London (TfL).
Mylrea's joviality is equally well known around Whitehall these days. He is large in stature and voice,<|fim_middle|> massive salary cut, but it was the best opportunity I ever had.
I had mentors at Reuters but I have always admired Julia Simpson, who was at the Home Office and is now at BA. I nearly worked for her a couple of times. She was always hugely generous with advice. I have tremendous respect for her.
Get experience of every possible aspect of PR, not just in one sector. Public or private sector, the comms directors of the future are people who can happily work across all disciplines of PR. I was lucky to get that chance.
- What qualities do prize in new recruits?
Passion and determination. There has got to be fire in the belly.
Luke Blair: did the Metro get a good deal with TfL? | with a booming laugh and an infectious smile. His team has started to follow his daughter's example in telling him his jokes aren't funny. 'My assistant says I could be more quiet. She likes me to stay in my office,' Mylrea admits.
NHS London director of comms Stephen Webb worked with Mylrea at TfL. He does recall Mylrea's bad jokes, but also his ability to build strong relationships with the chief executive while being equally close to his team. It was a skill that revealed itself during the 7/7 attacks. 'He was up there talking to the top people, making sure they were at the press conference at the Queen Elizabeth II Centre, while being able to keep an eye on what his team was doing operationally,' says Webb, adding that Mylrea has 'some steel' when it comes to a fight.
Secretary of State for International Development Douglas Alexander recently said DfID was once the Government's best-kept secret - a problem that led to the appointment of Mylrea in 2007.
He has since brought in sweeping changes - introducing BBC political correspondent James Hardy as head of news, building a new website and developing a more professional planning offer.
The latest plan is the new UKaid brand, developed to highlight where public money is being used to tackle global poverty. As Mylrea says, 'the public didn't know what was being done in their name'.
With current campaigns focusing on East Africa and Pakistan, the perennial disaster man says DfID constantly works on keeping a strategic focus and not just falling into an endless cycle of crisis comms. 'Things are happening all the time,' he says.
Mylrea is in the running for the 2010 CIPR presidency job, perhaps fittingly, considering its current troubles.
'The CIPR is going through a difficult time,' he admits, adding that he would like to see the CIPR become the professional body of choice for the Government Communication Network.
Over the course of a career during which he has seen some particularly tragic times, the main lesson Mylrea has learned is a solemn one.
Firstly, getting a job at the East Manchester Reporter in the late 1970s. I wanted to start out in local newspapers. The EMR offered me a job and I didn't ask how much it wanted to pay me.

Chesapeake Bay Retrievers: Dog Breed Information, Facts and Pictures
by Kashyap Dave | Jun 28, 2018 | Big Dogs, Dog Breeds | 0 comments
Lifespan: 10 – 12 years
Temperament: Affectionate, Intelligent, Quiet, Dominant, Happy, Protective
Colors: Dark Brown, Light Brown, Tan, Brown, Deadgrass, Sedge
Nature and character
Unlike many other Retriever breeds, the Chesapeake Bay Retriever has fully preserved its excellent hunting dog properties to this day. In addition to its distinctive optical appearance, the breeding objectives of this breed are geared primarily to their innate resilience and endurance, also this Retriever captivates by his intelligence and marked learning. The Chesapeake Bay Retriever needs a lot of exercise and loves water, ice and snow alike. As a family dog, he is affectionate and loyal, he enjoys the closeness to his people in particular.
The Chesapeake Bay Retriever developed in the 19th century at the Chesapeake Bay of the same name in the western United States, where the race was used in the water hunt. The dogs were able to withstand even adverse weather conditions and could also be used on ice and at low temperatures. The breed probably originated from crossings between two Newfoundlanders imported from England and local hunting breeds, which had been used in the eastern United States for several centuries. In addition to the Irish Water Spaniel, these included the Flat Coated Retriever and the Curly Coated Retriever. The breed standard for the Chesapeake Bay Retriever was set in 1885.
Chesapeake Bay Retriever Racial Features
The Chesapeake Bay Retriever is classified in Group 8 "Retrievers, Flushing Dogs and Water Dogs" and in Section 1 "Retrievers" in the classification of the largest cynological umbrella organization "Fédération Cynologique Internationale". He reaches a size of 58-66 cm in males and 53-61 cm in females. The weight is 29-37 kg for males and 25-32 kg for bitches. The color of the Chesapeake Bay Retriever should ensure an optimal adaptation to the environment - the colors brown, bulrush and straw colors with all shades are permitted. Single white badges are allowed, although monochrome animals are preferred. The Chesapeake Bay Retriever has short, hard top hair that is wavy and interspersed with dense undercoat.
The skull is wide and round with a middle stop. The catch is about the same length as the skull and tapers slightly towards the nose. The Chesapeake Bay Retriever has small, loosely hanging ears that are set high. His eyes are strikingly bright and show a yellowish or amber-like color. They are far apart. The neck presents itself muscular and of medium length with a rejuvenation towards the shoulder. His body is also medium in length and has well-flanked flanks. The upper profile line runs slightly ascending from the shoulder to the hindquarters. Short and compact, the back appears,<|fim_middle|>The Chesapeake Bay Retriever is a bright and happy dog, who convinces with his work pleasure as well as with his intelligence. He shows his love and loyalty to his people, he needs a permanent family connection. The Chesapeake Bay Retriever builds a very close bond with a particular person and recognizes only these people as masters. In doing so, he behaves equally open to all familiar people and animals, but shows himself to strangers more distanced.
The Chesapeake Bay Retriever is able to respond appropriately in any situation and has a protective attitude towards its human. However, this innate protective drive hardly appears in a busy and well-socialized animal and is never associated with aggressive behavior.
This breed has an innate love of water and is equally enthusiastic about ice and snow. The Chesapeake Bay Retriever is resilient, persistent and able to act on its own. At the same time, he likes to work with humans, if he is properly trained. Both in training as well as in daily training, this retriever is always eager to learn. He is in the attitude while easy to maintain, but every day has to be extensively moved and mentally challenged.
Use of the Chesapeake Bay Retriever
The Chesapeake Bay Retriever is a classic hunting dog and is still used today, especially in the water hunt. Compared to its ancestors, however, it has evolved and now serves no longer only as a pure retriever, but as a versatile hunting dog, which can be used for bush, rummaging and foraging as well as for the welding.
Even as a family dog, the Chesapeake Bay Retriever is well suited because it enjoys the closeness to humans and builds a close bond with his family. However, he needs a lot of exercise and employment. If the Chesapeake Bay Retriever is not used in the hunt, similarly demanding activities such as retrieving or dummy training can serve as substitutes. The Chesapeake Bay Retriever is also suitable for training as a rescue or tracking dog. | the chest is deep and wide with a round rib curvature.
The Chesapeake Bay Retriever has a moderately long tail that can be straight or slightly curved. The runs are powerful and well muscled. They appear straight in the front and back views. The shoulders are powerful and tilted, the knees well angled. His hocks are in a middle height. The movement is free, powerful and expansive.

The feature film "Extraordinary," which tells<|fim_middle|>Movie.com. | the story of Liberty University exercise science professor and ultra-running legend David Horton, is hitting the silver screen in over 600 theaters across the U.S. on Sept. 7. It will be the first student-driven film in the country to have a nationwide theatrical release.
"Extraordinary" is produced by Liberty's Cinematic Arts, Zaki Gordon Center and Working Title Agency.
"The fact that it is in the theaters and students were the drivers behind the production process shows that our film department has arrived on a national scale in a very significant way. It demonstrates the quality of the education that Liberty University funds, encourages, and supports," said Stephan Schultze, executive director of Liberty's Cinematic Arts Department.
Sixty cinematic arts students worked on the film. Staff, faculty, and industry professionals mentored them as they learned by doing — a hallmark of the program.
"Extraordinary" stars Christian comedian Leland Klassen, Shari Rigby ("October Baby"), and Karen Abercrombie ("War Room"), with a star cameo by Kirk Cameron. Theater alumna Lindsley Register ('15) plays one of Horton's children. The film is directed and written by Scotty Curlee, assistant professor of cinematic arts, with co-writer Cheryl McKay.
Along with sweeping shots of American landmarks (Hoover Dam, Mount Rushmore, the Washington Monument, and more) as well as breathtaking drone footage of the Rocky Mountains and the Mojave Desert, the film also prominently features Liberty's campus, from the Jerry Falwell Library and DeMoss Hall to Liberty Mountain Snowflex Centre and Williams Stadium.
"On a very large scale, this film helps to showcase the university for viewers to see how incredible this place really is," Schultze said.
In Horton's lifetime, he has run enough miles to circle the globe four-and-a-half times. He once held the speed records for the Appalachian Trail, the longest hiking-only footpath in the world, and the Pacific Crest Trail, which runs from the U.S.-Mexican border to the Canadian border. "Extraordinary" centers around Horton's experience during the Trans-America Footrace — 2,906 miles from Huntington Beach, Calif., to Central Park in New York City.
But "Extraordinary" is not just about an extraordinary man. The film's tagline, "Behind every good man is an extraordinary woman," hints at Horton's relationship with his wife, Nancy, whose inspiration and sacrifice were vital to his success as a runner. The movie explores the struggle to find balance between building one's legacy and spending time with family. David Horton must deal with the physical and emotional consequences of pursuing his life's dream.

Liberty's cinematic arts program is a two-year immersion cohort program where students concentrate solely on filmmaking. In addition to creating their own short film and business plan, students earn at least one IMDb credit on a professional film project.

ConvertIt! is a simple, command line application designed to allow users to convert between common systems and
units of measurement. For example, at this time you can convert Celsius to Fahrenheit or Metric to Imperial and
the reverse (Imperial to Metric, Fahrenheit to Celsisu). This program has been designed around simplicity and ease of use.
A copy of the help table is included below:
ConvertIt! Program usage:
[-A <int>] - Convert acres to hectares
[-c <int>] - Convert centimeters to inches
[-C <int>] - Convert degrees Celsius to degrees Fahrenheit
[-F <int>] - Convert degrees Fahrenheit to degrees Celsius
[-h] - Show this help and exit
[-H <int>] - Convert hectares to acres
[-i <int>] - Convert inches to centimeters
[-I <int>] - Convert feet to meters
[-K <int>] - Convert kilometers to miles
[-L <int>] - Convert miles to kilometers.
[-M <int>] - Convert meters to feet
[-m <int>] - Convert meters to yards
[-U] - Display unit symbols IE a 'C' for Celsius
Must be specified as third (3rd) argument.
[-u] - Same as above, but suppress info message.
[-Y <int>] - Convert yards to meters
For the most up to date table, run convertit -h at any time.
## Why ConvertIt! ?
ConvertIt! was created because of a couple of reasons:
1) I wanted to be able to convert outputs from other programs (more on that later).
2) I wanted to be able to convert stuff without an internet connection. Why Google it when you can ./convertit ?
3) I wanted to<|fim_middle|>04.36[jbs@dmb-gaming-laptop Debug]$
As we can see, we get an output of 104.36. ConvertIt!'s ouput is designed to be very clean, omitting the
newline character deliberately. You can optionally pass -U or -u to add the unit symbols.

Growing up poor had a profound impact and really shaped how I viewed myself in my earlier years. I felt inferior and became very introverted with no self-esteem. My communication skills were terribly lacking and I avoided talking to anyone because I had no confidence in my abilities.
When I first considered joining E. EXCEL, people who knew me thought I didn't have what it took to be successful in this type of business. I believed them and thought of it as a fantasy that I could never have. Like many people I was skeptical about direct sales and thought it was only for people who were good at talking to others. That definitely wasn't me. I never dreamed that today I would be an E. EXCEL business owner—and love it!
Despite my challenges growing up, I had success owning and running a restaurant. I was making good money when I considered selling the restaurant to start my E. EXCEL business. Many people thought I was crazy to give it up. Because of my poor background, limited relationships with people, and poor communication skills, I didn't feel I was very well qualified for E. EXCEL. But I did know that I didn't want to work hard for 40 long years at the restaurant simply to make a living. I wanted something more meaningful.
My beloved wife Amy helped me begin to realize what was possible with E. EXCEL. She truly believes E. EXCEL can help people achieve health and wealth and realize their dreams of traveling the world. Her love for Dr. Jau-Fei Chen was infectious and today we both enthusiastically support our E. EXCEL business together.
Joining E. EXCEL made the once impossible very possible. My Upline brought Amy and I to SS Network and the way I changed into another person seemed almost magical. Because of SS Network, my life transformed from dull and boring to very bright, exciting, and interesting! My newfound team offered wonderful education, effective, powerful<|fim_middle|> heart.
Once I learned that lesson I was able to overcome my fears. I became more generous, open, and committed to the organization and people began to like and trust me. I put my heart and soul into it and learned to accept people, care for them, and welcome them. I learned how to smile, shake hands, and greet people—things that had been almost impossible for me before. I quickly discovered that the more I gave, the more I received!
One of the most important things I learned along the way is that this is a multiplication business. With a simple education system and the right circumstances, I could repeatedly teach others to duplicate what I did. This uncomplicated, straightforward concept has allowed me to build a strong, thriving organization.
E. EXCEL totally transformed my life. I am now committed to my E. EXCEL business full-time and today I own my car and home and my income is multiplying. But that's not all. I also have the opportunity to travel the world on unforgettable incentive trips for free! E. EXCEL has been the catalyst for me to achieve my life's goals in a very short time.
I'm grateful to E. EXCEL for helping me break away from my shyness and low self esteem and live the life I've always dreamed. E. EXCEL has so much to offer, but the most touching and the most achievable thing is seeing so many friends around me find their health. I am surrounded by a group of ambitious, purposeful people who, like me, are achieving their dreams. They are my friends and family, and they are growing while gaining abundant rewards.
So many people ask me, 'Is running your E. EXCEL business hard?' I tell them it doesn't matter if it is hard or easy. Instead, they should ask whether this life, my life, is something they want. Success is not can I or can't I. It's do I want it or not. Nothing in the world is difficult for one who sets his mind to it. I wanted it, I got it, and now the rewards are multiplying as I share what I learned with others. | training methods, and steps that put me on the path to success. All of them—Casey, Kelvyn, Sebastian, Chong—they taught me these outstanding business practices and changed the path of my life.
Even with their help, starting my E. EXCEL business wasn't always easy. The biggest obstacle to my success with E. EXCEL was my inability to talk to people. I am not naturally articulate or well-spoken. I don't have that talent, but SS Network offered such a simple training program that I could learn and duplicate what they taught very easily. Over time it seemed more and more possible I could actually do this, after all, practice makes perfect! I finally understood that you don't need the gift of gab to have a successful E. EXCEL business. You just need to share sincerely from your | 169 |
HÆLOS – Full Circle (Album Review)
April 20, 2016 HÆLOS – Full Circle (Album Review)
Posted at 11:38h Adam Misner cryptic rock, CrypticRock, Music reviews, News, Reviews 0 Comments
Out of London, England, the band known as HÆLOS is one that immediately provokes interest. Comprised as a trio, Arthur Delaney (vocals), Dom Goldsmith (vocals, keys), and Lotti Benardout (vocals), if someone has not heard of HÆLOS that may be because they have not existed very long. Releasing their EP Earth Not Above via Matador Records in 2015, the music could best be described as stunning, but having no clearly defined genre. Deriving influence from a broad range of areas, the band states, "Our songwriting process can be uncomfortable and sometimes painful, but we want to write evocative music that captures the spirit of what it means to be alive and human." With that said, they now offer audiences their debut full-length album, entitled Full Circle, as of March 18th. Also released via Matador Records, Full Circle peaked at #1 on the iTunes Electronic charts and is an album that will provide a different type of listening experience.
Starting off with an old lecture tape for its intro, the few seconds of a professor discussing love is thought-provoking to be sure, but one should not set up the expectations that it will drive them to goosebumps. And while a listener does not need a seat belt and a full suit of armor to withstand being blown away by the intro track, it definitely sets a cognitive mood to the album, which is key to the experience. The music brings out an ability in the listener to think. If they close their eyes and let the music sweep them away, they will find themselves on a crystal island floating down the River Styx and free to think. This is something to think about upon listening to the opening musical track "Pray," one of the stronger songs on the album. As the song goes on, a listener may find their heart beating faster<|fim_middle|> draws the listener in. In addition, the vocals are unsynchronized and in unison to give a ghostly chorus kind of a feeling. The music, as a whole, is something that can be focused on, that the listener can let wash over them, or just something to be played in the background to be a sort of soothing white noise while work gets done. While the lyrics do take center stage, they are not so intrusive as to invade on thoughts with very distinct words or sentences. If the music is not focused on, the words will flow like a cool breeze past one's ears.
Holding up the middle of Full Circle is "Separate Lives," one of four songs that have their own music video from the album. Part of the rationale behind so many videos is likely to increase exposure, but a big reason they get away with it is because of the track's strength. All the way through Full Circle, no song jumps out as particularly weak, though not all of them evoke the same level of excitement or thought. "Separate Lives," however, jumps in at track eight to do just that as the instrumental elements nudge their way closer to the spotlight mixing with the vocals to spin a whirlwind of interest back into the audience.
As the album draws to an end, "Pale," another very strong offering, is as powerful a closer as "Pray" is an opener and its strategic placement helps to close off Full Circle well. Filled with drums and synth that play well together, they are joined by a mix of vocals that help to give the listener a final taste of what they heard in the rest of the album before they hit replay.
All in all, HÆLOS has an interesting sound that is worth checking out, even if another album is not in the budget. The vocal style from Benardout could be best described as a spectral siren-song. It twists like wisps of smoke on airy exhales and straightens like a whip crack on emotional high-notes. In fact, the rest of the music could be cymbal monkeys in a washing machine but people would still be gripped by her vocals and smashed into the rocks. Those looking to put visuals with the music, as stated, HÆLOS has a selection of music videos up on YouTube that can be taken advantage of. Whether someone is looking to diversify their music or find a good musical chaser to whatever cocktail of brutal Metal they have been listening to, or some other reason, Full Circle is an album worth getting. CrypticRock.com gives Full Circle 4 out of 5 stars.

Like Unleash The Archers, they mix softer female vocals with deeper, darker male vocals to provide contrast that brings out the effect of both to a great degree.
While "Pray" flares up a certain degree of emotion and excitement, HÆLOS brings their audience the next track, entitled "Dust," which is a more mellow experience in the beginning. It starts with some long, deep tones as it | 111 |

Something Wholly Unexpected Is Happening In Cambodia – The School That Turns Teenagers Into Change-Makers
13.12.2017 | BY JOSEPHINE LISTER
Project-based learning, real-world learning, globally-minded students. These are just some of the buzzwords in education at the moment and rightly so. Project-based learning allows students to learn multiple skills simultaneously in an authentic and engaging way, real-world learning makes education meaningful and being globally-minded is increasingly relevant in a world that is more connected than ever. However, they're usually only ever attached to schools or educational programmes in particularly affluent areas – and are hardly ever spoken about when thinking of kids in extremely rural locations where kids might not even go to school.
But in Cambodia something wholly unexpected and inspirational is happening. The Liger Leadership Academy takes children from rural provinces, where they might not even know about anything outside their realm of personal experience such as space or other countries, and transform them into global change-makers in just six years. This is a bold statement but as Jeff Holte, Director of Education at the Liger Leadership Academy, explained at the HundrED Summit earlier this year, "You have to do something bold to get bold." And everything about the academy is definitely bold!
It also just makes a lot of sense. No matter where you are in the world, everyone can relate to the motivational problems facing students in schools. A lot of the time curriculum doesn't make sense or seem relevant to students' lives outside of school and this mismatch creates deep-rooted motivational issues. At the academy, students work on real problems happening in Cambodia and in the wider world. For instance, Cambodian musical history is disappearing as it's not documented. Students took it upon themselves to interview elderly members of their society so that they could create a musical history of Cambodia and preserve the information for future generations.
Everything about the school is based on embracing the<|fim_middle|> the piano via the internet instead.
The students subsequently raised the funds to distribute the book to schools across Cambodia, which they wrote in two languages, and now their work is being read by at least half a million people across the country.
The projects can also be inspired by what Holte calls 'opportunity-based learning', where they take advantage of the opportunities that arise for discovery and exploration. A group of twelve-year old girls at the school who initially didn't speak any English or have any computational training, learnt to build an app for a competition. They went on to present the app to the Minister of Education in Cambodia and ended up competing in an international competition in California where they presented their app in English at the Google and Facebook offices! This happened within just one year at the academy and wasn't part of the curriculum at all. It was simply down to making use of the opportunities that came the students way.
Grasping at real-world opportunities helps to make the work the students do meaningful and impactful which creates an environment of high motivation, as Holte describes, 'Everyone at our school is engaged (...) because they're doing meaningful work. They're doing real work for something, somebody or some real purpose." The educational programme at Liger Leadership Academy is both opportunity and purpose-driven creating a student-body and learning environment that is highly motivated.
This is best shown through a project the kids worked on where they wrote a book on on how the wildlife of Cambodia is disappearing and they had to figure out how to get people to read it. If no one read the book they wouldn't be making a change and the school is all about creating change-makers, not just students with nice projects for their own personal portfolio. The students subsequently raised the funds to distribute the book to schools across Cambodia, which they wrote in two languages, and now their work is being read by at least half a million people across the country. This is no mean feat and is what many adult authors could only wish for!
You could easily be mistaken for thinking the school is only about success stories, but Holte reinforces that just as the kids are able to garner success it's also about embracing failure. Holte explains, "Failure really is an option at our school! Many things which we do don't actually work (...) It might not pan out. But that's real life." It's important that kids are allowed to fail and accept that this is just a natural part of life. Without failure none of us would learn anything and in a world that requires us all to be extremely resilient it's inspiring that this is woven into the fabric of life at the academy.
Although this learning environment is wholly unique, its building blocks aren't just suitable to this one scenario. Creating change-makers is possible all over the world and the main focuses of the school – such as real-world learning, project-based learning and getting students to think globally – are relevant and adaptable for all learning environments.

In case you missed our earlier report here, the X-T3 is Fujifilm's latest mirrorless camera. It gets a new back-illuminated X-Trans CMOS 4 sensor, and the latest X-Processor 4 image processing engine, allowing for better performance in virtually every aspect compared to its predecessor, the award-winning X-T2. The full rundown of its updated capabilities have been covered in our earlier report, so we'll jump straight to our user experience and performance handling of the X-T3's imaging capabilities.
From a physical perspective, nothing has changed compared to the X-T2. However, the touchscreen now gains added functionality. Like with the GFX 50R, swiping up, down, left or right activates (or deactivates) a custom function that you can assign, so you have eight custom functions available literally at a touch. You can also customize which part of the screen is active when your eye is to the viewfinder, helping you avoid accidental activation.
That, plus the Q-menu (which now supports touch in the same vein as the X-H1) makes the new X-T3 one of the most customizable cameras on the market at the moment. Its implementation is so good that takes away the need for menu diving, though we must say it takes a bit of getting used to as it's fairly easy to accidentally swipe across the screen.
Handling-wise, the X-T3 feels very much like the X-T2, even though the newer camera is actually slightly taller and deeper (132.5 x 92.8 x 58.8mm compared to 132.5 x 91.8 x 49.2mm). The top dials have been made slightly larger to match those of the X-H1, but we didn't feel that aided our shooting experience much.
What did make a big difference was the new camera's vastly snappier experience. Not needing the extra VG-XT3 battery grip to enable boost mode allows you to keep the overall size of the camera down while still getting the 100fps viewfinder refresh rate. Blackout free shooting at 30fps means you can really follow the action. And adding Phase detection AF to the entire frame (2.16M phase detection pixels in total) certainly speeds up autofocusing immensely.
We are also fond of Fuji's Sports Finder mode implementation. At the expense of about 15~20% of the frame area, you can use the electronic shutter to get a frame rate of up to 30fps with autofocus. You'll still get to see the entire frame though (Sports Finder mode just adds a box to show the cropped area) so you can more easily track the subject. You still get images that are about 16.6MP in size, which should be good enough even for publishing needs.
The one time we had issues was when the face we were trying to track wasn't the brightest in the frame, as the<|fim_middle|> his face and the logo on his t-shirt clearly.
That aside, there's little to pick on in terms of imaging performance. Colors are rich and images are well rendered, while the abundance of film simulations make it easy for you to get your preferred look straight out of the camera. AF is fast and accurate, with the option to easily fine tune things to best suit the situation at hand. Video capture performance is also much improved, with a more complete feature set and there's an abundance of customizable buttons to let you change settings on the fly. | AF point would tend to snap away to the brightest face available. Still, all it took was a quick adjustment of the AF-C settings to "Preset 2" to solve that issue so it's a case of using the right presets for the appropriate scenario.
There's also a new Pre-Shoot function on the X-T3 which works much like the Sony RX100 IV's "End trigger", but with stills. Once you half-press the shutter button to focus, the camera will start taking pictures, stopping when you fully press down – handy for trying to catch just the right moment. This is almost similar to how Sony's Predictive Capture works on its smartphones, only this time it's in the context of a proper camera shutter button, leveraging on your half-press actuation. Combined with the high frame rate of capture, this gives you a good chance to catch the exact moment you intended to capture.
With the picture below, the rider is spinning at pretty high speed, but we were able to pick the instant when he's perfectly square to the camera, letting us see | 222 |

Hes a blue chip on the musical stock market. Born in Honolulu, Hawaii, Lover which happens to be his birth name migrated to the West Coast at the age of 10 and immediately fell in love with hip-hop culture. After listening to Old School artists like Run DMC and watching such classic hip-hop flicks as Breakin and Krush Groove, he began penning rhymes of his own. Returning to his childhood home in 1993, Lover originally felt cut off from the urban culture but found a spark of realness when he linked up with a group of brothers in Hawaii that were into hip-hop just as much as he was. They spent the next decade traveling the world and perfecting their musical skills. The end result is Lovers highly anticipated debut album Diamond. Spending the past year-and-a-half sculpting the project, Lover pours every ounce of his energy into each action packed verse. Friends describe his style as a loose knit combination of LL Cool J, 2 Live Crew and Nas all wrapped into one. Inspired by his current Las Vegas stomping grounds, as well as his days running the streets of Waikiki, the Diamonds content tends to revolve around the affluent lifestyles of the rich and famous. While many MCs in this day and age fabricate stories and reenact their favorite movies, this man has lived the dream and come to tell the world about it. But deeper down, his visions are much broader. I enjoy making people dance and feel good through my music,<|fim_middle|> know just how it goes down when spending a night out on the town. His other creative outlets include songwriting and fashion. I do custom tailoring and design handbags and accessories for women, reveals Lover. I look to be doing the kind of things that P.

After 10 years struggling as an aspiring artist, and performing around the world at such events as the 2002 Bob Marley Festival in Miami and the House of Blues in Las Vegas, Lover has paid his dues and is ready to make his presence felt in the music industry. Looking to release Diamond at the beginning of the next quarter, Lovers family company the Abyss Media Group, Inc. is on its way to having a promising future in the entertainment business. My music is a collection of feelings put to the rhythm. I go out in the clubs and in the streets and feed off the vibes of the people. Then I put my two cents in, says Lover. Sometimes I make hits. Sometimes I make classics. But no matter what kind of song Im doing, I just try to polish it and make it as perfect as it can be. In my opinion, good music is one of the only perfect things I know of in this world.

Is Hunter Education Failing?
More than half a million Americans take the course annually. But is there a better way?

By Michael R. Shea
Brian Cheney needed a Hunter Education class. His 15-year-old son was raring to go upland hunting on a trip to South Dakota. If he took a Hunter Education class—the critical first step required by all 50 states to buy a hunting license—he'd join a band of family and friends that chases pheasants every fall.
Cheney went online to find a Nebraska Game and Parks Commission Hunter Ed class for his son. There was an Internet-only option, in which students take a class and test online, but it was available only to students at least 16 years old. For those who were 11 to 15 years old, there was an Internet + Field Day option, where after passing the test students had<|fim_middle|> one is lowering the standards here.

The only in-person class listed online was 90 miles away. He tried to sign up, but it was full. He checked field days. Also, full. "I called gun ranges," said Cheney. "I called sportsman's clubs. I found lots of firearms safety classes, but no one had youth Hunter Ed."
His son didn't go hunting that year.
"To call it a disappointment is an understatement," said Cheney.
An American Tradition
In 1949, New York state wanted to ensure its hunters received some basic firearms certification, so it reached out to the National Rifle Association, which developed the first Hunter Ed course in the United States. Several other states followed suit, and that pamphlet course certified generations of American hunters until a 1970 federal amendment of the Pittman-Robertson Act provided dollars for individual state hunter safety programs.
By the 1980s, a Hunter Ed card was a requirement for new hunters to buy a hunting license in all 50 states. The NRA slowly got out of the hunter certification business as states developed their own unique curriculums. State-by-state course content made sense then—and now. What needs to be emphasized beyond basic gun safety to a student eager to hunt mule deer in the mountains of Montana isn't necessarily what a duck hunter in Connecticut needs to know.
The next major evolution of Hunter Ed came in 2002, when Idaho developed the first online course, in conjunction with Kalkomey, a Texas-based educational and software development firm that now runs online components of Hunter Ed for 46 states at hunter-ed.com. There are a handful of other online course providers, but if you or your children took an online Hunter Ed class, odds are Kalkomey built it. About 650,000 new hunters take a Hunter Ed course every year, and by some estimates, more than half satisfy the required classroom hours online.
"You hear all the reports on how hunting is going down, but we have lots of data that shows graduation rates of basic Hunter Ed have maintained at 650,000 to 700,000 students a year," said David Allen, executive director of the International Hunter Education Association (IHEA), which sets curriculum standards for all 50 states. "That's a lot of new hunters."
Every single new hunter helps keep the tradition alive, but even 700,000 new hunters a year won't blunt the sharp reality of the participation decline in American hunting.
Baby boomers still make up the largest cohort of hunters, but in 15 years most will age out and stop buying hunting licenses, accelerating a projected 30 percent overall decline in hunter numbers, according to the National Survey of Hunting, Fishing, and Wildlife-Associated Recreation. Thirty percent is also the new hunter drop-out rate, according to Allen and IHEA-USA. That is, of those 700,000 new hunters introduced every year, 30 percent are not hunting three years after graduation.
"We're not making new hunters fast enough," said Eric Dinger, CEO of Powder-hook, a smartphone app that encourages hunting mentorship and lists every known Hunter Ed class in the United States. "That's the whole problem. It doesn't help that a Hunter Ed class, if you can get in one, is a less-fun version of SAT prep. A 12-year-old who's played Fortnite their whole life might find it a little dry."
In a world where you can buy a hubcap for a 1938 Buick online in 45 seconds or learn to gut a deer—or rewire a nuclear reactor—on YouTube in a few minutes, our expectations for instant information has never been greater while our attention spans have plummeted. Everything is instant. Everything, it seems, but getting a Hunter Ed certificate.
E-commerce companies talk a lot about "friction." Amazon Prime has the least friction. You see something, click one button, and it's on your doorstep two days later. Hunting in general—and Hunter Ed in specific—has loads of friction. To sit on a bucket in a dove field, you need to take a class; pass a test; buy a license; buy a gun, ammo, and accessories; then learn to shoot; and finally find a place to set down your bucket. It's especially daunting for new hunters who don't have the advantage of a hunting family.
Many, like Dinger, Allen, and others, are talking about removing some of that overall hunting friction by tweaking the way we do Hunter Ed. But that's a knot of 10,000 different issues. Of course, gun safety is important, and needs to be drilled in, but what's the most effective way to do that? How do you get 50 states on the same page? How do you do it under the guidelines of Pittman-Robertson, which provides the funding that makes it all possible? What's the best way to engage new students?
Anyone who has sat through a Hunter Ed in-person class or clicked through an online version must admit the material runs a little flat. Part of the reason is the time requirement. IHEA-USA sets the parameters for what content needs to be included in a Hunter Ed course. States require classes to satisfy a certain number of core Hunter Ed hours. Online courses are programmed the same way.
When I became a Hunter Ed Instructor in my home state of New York, I was introduced to my county's master instructor as "one of the best in the state." Before launching into a two-hour PowerPoint before a room of bored-looking students, he preps them by saying, "It's time to eat your vegetables."
Mitch Strobl, vice president of Agency Relations at Kalkomey, which designs in-class and online curriculum used by most states, doesn't think it's fair to say the course hasn't aged well. "There are certain things we have to teach," he said. "It might not be the most engaging for some, but the 'Four Rules of Gun Safety' are the four rules. With the online course platform, we have the opportunity to make the content much more exciting and interactive than we're able to in a student manual. We run a 4.8 out of a five-star satisfaction rating online, so to say everyone is unhappy is not a fair evaluation."
There is no magic way to engage all 700,000 students that take Hunter Ed every year, but that hasn't stopped a few groups from trying. Five years ago, the NRA got back in the game and now provides a free online course for states to use. The project started after an executive at NRA expressed interest in hunting.
"It was August, and we couldn't get him into an in-person class, because they were all full," said Peter Churchborne, the former program director of Hunter Services for the NRA and current director of the Hunters' Leadership Forum. "So we put him in front of an online course, and looking over his shoulder, it was very clear to me that it wasn't very good. Read and click, read and click, maybe watch a video. Not very engaging. After that, we started brainstorming a better way to do it."
The NRA teamed up with an educational developer in Salt Lake City and soon had a product to show state hunting education coordinators. "When we started, five different providers sold Hunter Ed classes online, from $9.99 to $39.99, and we felt we could offer something free, free to the students and free to the states," said Churchborne.
Despite the turnkey solution and no dollar cost of entry on the state's part, the NRA version has been slow to roll out. Only eight states are using the free course. Some have hinted at the red tape and the snail-like pace of everything government, but Churchborne says the push to free online is simply a mind-shift for many in the Hunter Ed community.
"The majority of Hunter Ed is taught is by volunteers, and they're extremely passionate about what they do," he said. "And with any business or governmental agency, instituting change takes time. These are positives, not negatives. There are lots of really great people out there invested in the solution and willing to give it time."
Internet Only?
States may have time. Parents and young professionals who want to hunt typically do not. This reality has led many Hunter Ed nerds to openly ask if it's time for states to dump the in-person or field-day requirement?
In-person classes are valuable, and they're still in high demand as many students want a hands-on course. But some states struggle with seasonal bottlenecks—meeting the rush of new hunters wanting to get certified, say, a month before deer season. Online classes can help that, but only so much if required field days are limited or fill quickly.
In states like New York, where I teach, the lack of in-person classes is a glaring problem in some regions, never mind that there is no real Internet option—field day or otherwise. My rural county upstate with a deep hunting tradition has a small army of motivated instructors that teach nearly every weekend of peak season. Around New York City and other urban centers in the state, this is not the case. I know a half-dozen young professionals in New York City who want to hunt, but cannot find Hunter Ed classes, or if they do, they're booked-up months in advance.
Ending the in-person requirement is incredibly controversial. Want to start an argument fast? Declare in a room of Hunter Ed instructors that there's no need for in-person anything. The thinking that gun safety lessons must be done in-person is that entrenched. But data collected by IHEA-USA makes you wonder.
IHEA-USA collects figures on hunter accidents afield, both nonfatal and fatal. The numbers show little correlation between the method of Hunter Ed instruction and accidents. That is, the handful of states that have Internet-only options do not show a spike in accidents afield, nor do states with in-person requirements prove any safer. Overall, hunting accidents are extremely rare. There were 46 hunting-related fatalities in 2018, and 15.6 million Americans bought hunting licenses that year.
"I will get in trouble for saying this, but we need more flexibility from the state agencies and their volunteers," said Allen with IHEA-USA. "But now, believe it or not, we're starting to see some of that happening."
Our New (Isolated) World
I first spoke to Brian Cheney about the challenges of getting his son into a Hunter Ed class in late March, as an estimated 97 percent of the U.S. population was under some kind of stay-at-home or shelter-in-place order in the face of the national coronavirus outbreak.
Overnight, nearly every in-person Hunter Ed class and field day in the country were canceled.
In a cloudy world where silver linings are hard to find, one potential upshot of this pandemic is how it's forced us to reevaluate long-held beliefs as they relate to congregating in groups, how we sneeze in public, or how willing we are to crowd into a classroom for seven cramped hours with a bunch of perfect strangers.
Shortly after I spoke with Cheney, Nebraska changed the guidelines for Hunter Ed classes. The 16-year-old age restriction on online classes was lifted. Any Nebraska resident age 11 and up could take an online Hunter Ed class without a field day requirement through at least May 31.
Kentucky kept its field day qualification, but in the teeth of a global pandemic, they came up with an innovative solution.
Students, with the help of an adult mentor, made videos of themselves demonstrating the basics of safe firearms handling — like trigger discipline, loading, and unloading — then uploaded them to the state for approval. After an instructor reviewed the footage, a Hunter Ed certificate was dropped in the mail.
To the great credit of New York's Department of Environmental Conservation, my home state has perhaps moved the furth-est along. After cancelling more than 150 in-person classes that would have credentialed 2,600 new hunters before spring turkey season, the state rolled out a 100-percent online Hunter Ed course, going from effectively zero to 100 in a matter of weeks. There is no plan to eliminate in-person classes down the road, but if this new online version is successful and remains an option for busy parents and new hunters, it will go a long way to reduce the overall friction new hunters face in the Empire State.
Strobl said all 50 states are grappling with these decisions in the face of the pandemic. Some states have added a new "field day" section to its online course material, while some exempted any in-person requirement altogether. "The attitude here and with the states is let's figure this thing out," said Strobl. "As a community, we've come together to make necessary changes, while maintaining educational integrity.

Assured Hall of Famer Mike Scioscia Steps Down After 19 Years
9:00 pm October 1, 2018
USA — October 1, 2018
News that long-time Los Angeles Angels manager Mike Scioscia stepped down after 19 years saddened a throng of fans. 19 seasons of Angels magic ended on Sunday appropriately though, as the baseball great's club managed a come-from-behind victory over the Oakland A's.
Who can forget Scioscia's catching days he played for the legendary Tommy Lasorda and the Dodgers. Scioscia, who played catcher in two World Series wins, was one of the most durable players in MLB history. Fans remember Scioscia becoming the first Dodger catcher to start in an All-Star Game since Hall of Famer Roy Campanella. But as great a catcher as the Scioscia was, it was managing and mentoring he excelled at.
News reports of the Angels' stalwart leader's emotional farewell remind this old baseball player and fan how fast the greats come and go. Like his mentor Lasorda, Scioscia would become legendary , and he even surpassed the famous Dodgers ramrod by edging out his 1,599 wins with 1,650. His .536 wine percentage was not shabby either, and the Angels' only World Series crown (2002) came under his guidance too.
In all Scioscia stepped down with the 18th-most managerial wins in major league history, and the second-most with one team, trailing only Walter Alston's 2,040 with the Dodgers. But this year the Angels had another losing season (80-82) breaking the club record for consecutive losers. So, it seems fitting he let go of the reins on the final year of his contract, at age 59. He commented in a previous moment on his illustrious career, and how the fates have their way in baseball:
"I have a deep passion for this game. I love it, I love managing, but in this game, you never know where or when your next opportunity comes. If I<|fim_middle|>itor and others that lead a long list of other candidates. How quickly the news turns on even the greats of baseball.
Houston police are investigating the remains of newborn found buried in trailer home park | get another chance, great. If not, I'm going to take the great experience I had here and moved forward."
The assured Hall of Famer bid a farewell, and thanked his current and former players, coaches and Angels fans. It was a fitting exclamation point on a stupendous career when Angels 3rd baseman Taylor Ward slammed a two-run, ninth-inning homer to punctuate Scioscia's time with the Angels.
Scioscia grew up in the Philadelphia area to become a first-round pick by the Dodgers in 1976. He reached the majors in 1980 and spent his entire career with the Lasorda led Dodgers. He was also the Dodgers coach before taking the Angels manager position.
Speculation is rampant already as to who will guide the Angels in the upcoming season. The scuttlebutt runs form Angels coach Josh Paul, to the Mets' Gary DiSarcina , and of course Buck Showalter, John Gibbons, Paul Mol | 200 |

Static-X's roots trace to the Midwest, where vocalist/guitarist Wayne Static grew up in Michigan and drummer Ken Jay in Illinois. They ended up in Chicago separately and met at the record store where Jay worked, introduced to one another by Smashing Pumpkins vocalist Billy Corgan. Static and Jay decided to head west to California and start up a new band. Shortly after their arrival, Osaka native Koichi Fukada responded to the duo's ad and became their new guitarist, as well as programmer. Bassist Tony Campos, the only true Californian, was the final piece of the puzzle. Static-X's music combined aggressive metal and thrash with industrial overtones and techno pulse. Signed to Warner Brothers in February 1998, Static-X debuted with Wisconsin Death Trip a year later, and the album was eventually certified gold. Departing guitarist Fukada was replaced with Tripp Eisen (ex-Dope) for 2001's Machine, and drummer Jay left after the 2003 album Shadow Zone. If that weren't enough, personal issues forced Eisen to leave the band in 2004. Still, Static-X was undeterred. Static tapped Fukada to rejoin on guitar and programming, and touring drummer Nick Oshiro took over full-time.
In June 2005, a rejuvenated Static-X returned to recording with Start a War. Cannibal arrived in 2007, charting inside Billboard's Top 40. The band toured and released a CD/DVD document, Cannibal Killers Live, then settled into the recording of their sixth studio album, Cult of Static. Released in March 2009, it debuted inside the Top 20. The band broke up not long after finishing a lengthy tour, with Wayne Static announcing a renewed focus on his Pighammer side project, with contributions from his wife, Tera Wray. In 2011, Pighammer appeared as a solo album under his own name. A year later, he reformed Static-X — minus any of the original members. The lineup, which basically consisted of his solo backing band, mounted a tour, but broke up by 2013, and a year later, Wayne Static was dead at the age of 48. (Source)
A punishing groove and melodic death metal unit based out of Santa Barbara, California, DevilDriver originally operated under the moniker Deathride, before a copyright issue forced them to adopt a new name. Co-founded by Coal Chamber vocalist Dez Fafara, who remains the group lone original member, the band debuted in 2002, but didn't truly catch fire<|fim_middle|> their demos by selling drugs. The initial incarnation of the band included lead guitarist Tripp Eisen, bass player Acey Slade, and drummer Preston Nash. They began a selective series of gigs in late 1997. In October 1998, they were signed to Flip Records, which made a production deal with Epic.
Dope's debut album and best-selling release to date, Felons and Revolutionaries, was released in September 1999. The Dope brothers gutted their lineup after the ensuing tour, switching Slade to guitar and bringing in original bassist Sloane Jentry, guitarist Virus, and drummer Sketchy Shay. In the fall of 2001, they released their second album, Life. Two years later, the band inked a deal with Artemis and issued the nu-metal-leaning Group Therapy. The punitive American Apathy arrived in summer 2005, featuring covers of Depeche Mode's "People Are People" and N.W.A's "Fuck tha Police." It topped the Billboard Heatseekers chart upon release. No Regrets was issued four years later, and featured a guest appearance by Zakk Wylde. After an extended hiatus, Dope's classic lineup returned with a new album and coinciding tour. The band — Edsel Dope, Acey Slade, Virus, and Racci Shay — released Blood Money, Pt. 1 in late 2016, with a sequel, the aptly-named Blood Money, Pt. 2, arriving in 2019. (Source)

Belvidere, IL 61008 United States + Google Map | until the release of 2007's Last Kind Words, which heralded a string of high-charting albums like Pray for Villains (2009), Winter Kills (2013), and Trust No One (2016). Despite enduring numerous personnel shifts, the band maintained a lean, loud, and punitive sonic attack that made them one of the more reliable heavy music purveyors of the 2000s and 2010s.
The Fury of Our Maker's Hand Following the dissolution of his Marilyn Manson/Korn-influenced nu-metal band Coal Chamber, vocalist Dez Fafara hooked up with guitarists Evans Pitts and Jeffrey Kendrick, bassist Jon Miller, and drummer John Boecklin to form DevilDriver — a rather more extreme band dedicated to the subsequent hardcore-meets-death-metal trends. Signed to Roadrunner like Fafara's previous group, DevilDriver released their eponymous debut in 2003, followed a sophomore effort, The Fury of Our Maker's Hand (where Pitts was replaced by Mike Spreitzer), a couple years later. 2007's Last Kind Words was the group's first outing to crack the Billboard 200, but they got their day in the sun when their 2009 album, Pray for Villains, debuted at number 35 and found success in Europe as well. After touring with groups like Behemoth and Slipknot, DevilDriver went back into the studio to begin work on their fifth album. the resulting Beast, produced by Mark Lewis, was released in 2011, and would be their last album to feature longtime bassist Jon Miller. The band would team up with Lewis again for its next album, Winter Kills, their highest-charting LP to date, which arrived in the summer of 2013 via Napalm Records. 2014 saw the departures of drummer John Boecklin and guitarist Jeff Kendrick, which prompted Fafara to put the band on hiatus until 2016. The group did indeed resurface that year, releasing its seventh studio album, Trust No One, which would be the first DevilDriver outing for three new members, ex-Chimaira drummer Austin D'Amond, guitarist Neal Tiemann, and ex-Static-X bassist Diego Ibarra. In 2018, Fafara, a longtime fan of outlaw country, fulfilled his ambition to unite the genre with metal on DevilDriver's eighth album, Outlaws 'til the End, Vol. 1. A collection of covers of classics of the genre refashioned in the band's inimitable powerhouse style, it featured guest vocals from several metal and country artists including Randy Blythe, Brock Lindow, Burton C. Bell, John Carter Cash, and Hank Williams III. (Source)
An uncompromising New York City-based outfit that draws from both heavy metal and industrial music, Dope's confrontational emissions evoke Ministry, Skinny Puppy, and White Zombie. Emerging in 1999 with the hard-hitting Felons and Revolutionaries, the group continued to beat the post-industrial drum on 2005's American Apathy and 2018's Blood Money, Part 1, while managing to weave in elements of speed, alternative, rap, and nu-metal.
The quintet was formed in the Chicago area by brothers Edsel Dope (lead vocals, rhythm guitar) and Simon Dope (keyboards). Simon studied chemistry at the University of Florida, then received a scholarship to Polytechnic in Brooklyn. There he was joined by his brother, with the two claiming to have financed | 765 |

As society moves away from traditional energy sources and looks to the future for renewable energy, the technology continues to improve.
Sun and wind. Plentiful, renewable and clean. Wind and solar energy continue to increase with the demand for more clean energy in an environmentally conscious society. Wind and Solar Farms are springing up across the country and High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) conduit plays a role in distributing energy into a usable power source. HDPE conduit is the carrier and protector of power and fiber optic cables that enables transmission to the substation for distribution. Advances in the extrusion of HDPE conduit now allow the cables to be installed during the manufacturing process to create a system ready for underground installation. CIC, or Cable in Conduit, is available with power cable or fiber optic cable (for command and control) and is especially economical for plowing and directional drilling applications.
The Indian renewable energy sector is the fourth most attractive1 renewable energy market in the world. As of October 2018, India ranked fifth in installed renewable energy capacity. According to the 2018 Climate scope report, India ranked second among the emerging economies to lead to transition to clean energy.
"This is one of the most ambitious renewable energy targets in the world, far more than the targets set by developed countries. Overall, these targets are highly desirable, but will need major reforms in the transmission and distribution sectors and stable policies to achieve," energy and climate change expert Chandra Bhushan told DW.
Wind Farms and Solar Farms
Whether building a large wind farm and using Cable-in-Conduit (CIC) to monitor the energy being supplemented to the grid, or supplying power to a solar farm, Dura-Line's conduit can help with communication and power needs. Modern technology is making "green" more affordable and efficient.

In contrast to other energy resources, various renewable energy assets exist in every area of every country. Well suited to rural areas, many renewable energy projects are large-scale, resulting in jobs, economic benefits, energy security, and climate change mitigation.
Reducing our reliance on dwindling resources, such as coal, oil, and natural gas and converting more efforts towards alternative electricity generation, air and water heating/cooling, transportation, and rural (off-grid) energy services will create a greener future.

A Greener Tomorrow
The 1987 Brundtland Report coined the term and popularized the definition:
"Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs."
Less Dependence on Fossil Fuels
Fossil fuels have served the industrial revolution age well, but since they are nonrenewable, they are rapidly becoming too expensive or too environmentally damaging.

National renewable energy markets are projected to continue to grow strongly in the coming decade and beyond as more and more countries strive for a transition to 100 percent reliance on renewable energies.
Global Trend
Worldwide investments in renewable technologies amount to billions of dollars and millions of jobs. At least 30 nations around the world already have renewable energy contributing more than 20 percent of their energy supply.

Season Three: December and January
The two months of December and January are crucial months for any, and every club. A busy period, a challenging period, and a period which separates genuine promotion contenders from the teams that eventually fade away. It's a time when players need to stand up and be counted, make a difference for their side, a real positive impact that could even set their team up for future success.
Game 1: vs Newport County (FA Cup 2nd Rnd)
Havant and Waterlooville 1 – 0 Newport County
Austin Lipman, 27'
We controlled this FA Cup tie against our non-league opponents and were never in danger of conceding, but it proved to be just the single first half goal that took us into the next round. Generally a solid performance from a largely rotated side.
Game 2: vs Wycombe Wanderers (Sky Bet League 2)
Wycombe Wanderers 1 – 1 Havant and Waterlooville
Nathan Pond, 11'
Ben Holmes, 46'
Against relegation threatened Wycombe, we really should have claimed the three points, but missed opportunities cost us. A point from an away game is never a bad thing, however these are the kind of teams we really should be beating, so it was a disappointing result for that matter.
Game 3: vs Burton Albion (Sky Bet League 2)
Burton Albion 2 – 2 Havant and Waterlooville
Adebayo Akinfenwa, 26', 81'
Dominic Knowles, 33'
Phil Edwards (pen), 45+1'
Akinfenwa managed to salvage a point for us in this one, with an equalizer late on, after a fairly sturdy display. The players worked really hard, and were a bit unlucky at times, so this certainly isn't a game to be disheartened about.
Game 4: vs York City (Sky Bet League 2)
York City 1 – 3 Havant and Waterlooville
David Ball, 8'
Adebayo Akinfenwa, 16'
Liam O'Neil, 45+2'
In our third consecutive away game, we managed to record an impressive victory against a team which by all accounts, are doing really well this season. Again every player put in a good shift and we had the quality to match the work rate and win the game, which was great.
Game 5: vs Exeter City (Sky Bet League 2)
Havant and Waterlooville 4 – 1 Exeter City
Bradley Bubb, 34'
Callum Jones, 39'
Danny Grainger, 87'
Exeter were put to the sword in arguably our strongest performance of the season, a game full of flowing attacks that easily could have led to us scoring more goals. It was a shame not to keep a clean sheet, all in all though, a marvelous triumph.
Game 6: vs Tranmere Rovers (Sky Bet League 2)
Tranmere Rovers 2 – 1 Havant and Waterlooville
Benik Afobe, 25', 76'
Unfortunately though we couldn't continue that momentum into the first game of 2017, as we slipped to a 2-1 defeat. Simply put, we weren't at the races for this match, and rightfully lost to the better side on the day.
Game 7: vs Huddersfield (FA Cup 3rd Rnd)
Havant and Waterlooville 2 – 2 Huddersfield Town
Phillip Billing, 7'
Nahki Wells, 30'
Bradley Bubb, 34', 90+2'
Phillip Billing, 78'
The drama of the FA Cup struck again, as club captain Bradley Bubb smashed home a stoppage time equalizer, and earning us a second chance with a replay. Bubb led by example, rallying the rest of the side from two goals down, and bringing it back level with seconds to spare.
Game 8: vs Northampton Town (Sky Bet League 2)
Havant and Waterlooville 2 – 1 Northampton Town
Dean Rittenberg, 24'
Bradley Bubb, 29', 38'
Bradley Bubb shone again, this time in the league, as his brace defeated Northampton Town. For the most parts we were the better side anyway, so a 2-1 victory was the least we merited.
Game 9: vs Luton Town (Sky Bet League 2)
Luton Town 0 – 2 Havant and Waterlooville
Ian Morris, 35'
Daniel Pappoe, 43'
We also managed to make amends for previous losses to Luton, who have been something of a 'bogey team' of ours, in the past. With both teams again battling for promotion, this was a crucial victory, made even better by the fact that it was on their own turf.
Game 10: vs Huddersfield (FA Cup 3rd Rnd Replay)
Huddersfield Town 2 – 3 Havant and Waterlooville
Rob Atkinson, 15'
Adam Hammill, 45+2'
Therry Racon, 78'
Danny Ward, 90+3'
The FA Cup Replay was just as enthralling as the first encounter with Huddersfield, resulting in pure ecstasy for our travelling supporters, as a spot in the 4th round was secured. A 3-2 victory and a brilliant showing from the lads was rewarded with a trip to Premier League side Sunderland.
Game 11: vs Sunderland (FA Cup 4th R<|fim_middle|> Barmby
Key Attributes: Flair, Dribbling, Pace
As you may gather by the signing of three wingers during this window, this was an area I had targeted for improvement. The final signing was former Manchester United youngster Jack Barmby, a promising player with decent pace, dribbling and crossing ability, with plenty of promise too. He can play on either side but will be primarily used as a left midfielder.
Last Update: Season Three: December and January
Next Update: Havant's new midfield maestro?
Barmby could prove to be a good signing for you!
Some nice transactions there, hopefully they add to your promotion push!
Justice: Lets hope so, eh? He certainly has some promise about him, and being at United as a youngster, you would expect that. Even now he can perform as a key player for any League 2 side, showing that he will be an important part of our immediate plans as much as he is part of our future plans.
Walter: Agreed, I'm really excited by some of these signings, and believe they can make a strong impact in our push for promotion.
John Swift, Jack Barmby and Adil Chihi are some great signings for your team!
Promotion could be near!

Josh:
Havant's new midfield maestro?
Once hailed the next 'Frank Lampard', central midfielder John Swift has been presented with a great opportunity to shine at Havant & Waterlooville, having been set back by his release from Chelsea in the summer.
Still only 21 years old, his departure from Stamford Bridge, was slightly surprising. In recent years, he had been a standout player in Chelsea's Academy, a tough task with such a plethora of high standard players. But Swift had consistently impressed and looked to be one player that could make that difficult leap into first team consideration.
Chelsea are an easy target for the common accusation that developing players might as well start looking elsewhere by the age of 21, because a combination of unlimited wealth and a demand for instant success means the pathway to the first team is blocked. However, it looked as if an exception would be made with Swift, having been handed a Premier League debut by Jose Mourinho, in the final game of the 2013/14 season against Cardiff City.
An unsuccessful loan spell at Rotherham followed during the 14/15 campaign, and that really seemed to hamper his progress, with no further first team appearances. Another crack at a loan deal never materialized either, as the Portsmouth born youngster didn't have his contract renewed by the London club.
Swift has worked with Frank Lampard to sharpen aspects of his game and, in all honesty, there couldn't have been anyone better for him to have learnt from. Swift, of course, has some way to go before he matches Frank's achievements, but there are definite similarities in their incisive passing, long-range shooting and tireless running between the two boxes – comparable playing styles.
Only signing in January for The Hawks, who currently reside in 2nd place in the Sky Bet League 2 table, there is undoubtedly a big chance and challenge for him at his new club. Regular first team football will be an obvious benefit of stepping down to this level, although in his situation any football was welcome, but also the prospect of taking his new team up the divisions was one which attracted Swift.
The Englishman who has been capped for his country from U16 level to U20 level, will be relied on to control the middle of the park, providing spark with assists and goals. This is something he will be sure to thrive on though, and prove everyone he does have what it takes, to make it to the top. And this time, stay there.
Last Update: Season Three: Winter Transfer Window
Next Update: Season Three: February and March
Swift transition in to the first team, ha!
In all seriousness, he has developed at one of England's finest academies, so he should prosper for you and be able to dictate the tempo of League 2 games.
You are reading "The Hawks - Dare To Dream". | nd)
Sunderland 2 – 0 Havant and Waterlooville
Adam Johnson, 31'
Santiago Vergini, 89'
Positives were a plenty in our cup game at the Stadium of Light, as although there was no giant killing, there was a lot of spirit from our team and a lot of defensive resilience too. Encouragingly it took a moment of magic from Adam Johnson, and a late header from Santiago Vergini for our goalkeeper to be beaten – in fact that is very encouraging, considering our defensive problems this season.
Game 12: vs Crewe Alexandra (Sky Bet League 2)
Devarn Green, 6', 39'
Bradley Bubb, 19', 71', 77'
Ian Morris, 30', 55'
James Baillie, 48'
Back to league action, and we were back at home too, romping to a 5-3 success. Bubb was again magnificent, hitting an all-important hattrick, which effectively won us the game.
Game 13: vs Accrington Stanley (Sky Bet League 2)
*Eoin Doyle, 35'
James Pearson, 45'
James Pearson, 90+2'
The final game of this two month period was a bit of a strange one. Eoin Doyle put us in front with his first goal for the club, and the match looked to be heading for a draw, having been levelled by James Pearson. In injury time step forwards Pearson again, but to the dismay of the Accrington Fans, he scored at the wrong end – three very welcome points for Havant.
With more than half of the 46 games in the league having been played now, Havant have cemented their place in the race for promotion. There is no fluke about the club's current position, they are where they are on merit with some cracking results pushing the team up into 2nd, now 7 points behind the league leaders.
Player of the Update
Nathan Pond has been an absolute rock at the back in recent months, winning the 'Player of the Update' award, in addition to the Sky Bet League 2 Player of the Month trophy for December. Despite all the so called 'defensive worries', the team really haven't been that bad at the back, with experienced central defender Pond proving to be a very important part of the Hawks side. He organizes the rest of the players so well, in the air he's brilliant, often marks opposition strikers out of the game, and even chips in with goals – two, in this period.
Goal of the Update
Bradley Bubb wins the 'Goal of the Update' award for his vital goal in the FA Cup against Huddersfield, at the last stage of the game. With everybody pushed forwards, we were throwing everything we had at them, and it was Bubb who fired home with an emphatic volley. Akinfenwa did well to lay it into his path with a smart knockdown but credit to the captain for his finish.
Manager's Comments;
A great run of form has seen us climb all the way up to 2nd in the league, an excellent achievement and an excellent set of results to put us in this position. Just the one loss in two months sums things up, with some terrific wins recorded, the 4-1 win over Exeter particularly springing to mind. Against Crewe we triumphed quite brilliantly, by 5 goals to 3, but an even more important win was away to Luton Town – one that the supporters enjoyed a lot, as well, considering past history.
Captain's Comments;
We have really gone up a gear in the last two months, improving massively, both in terms of performance levels and the amount of points we are picking up. There were some really memorable games for the fans as well, especially the FA Cup tie, as is per usual with that competition. It was a shame that we couldn't cause an upset against Sunderland, but they're a quality side and showed that. For me personally, it was a good period, but it's all about the team and maintaining our current position in the table.
NOTE: Just in case anybody's wondering, the asterisk by the side of Eoin Doyle's name is simply to indicate that he is one of our 8 January signings. All of them will be revealed in the next update, as well as the departures.
Last Update: Bradbury turns down three offers
Next Update: Season Three: Winter Transfer Window
You are absolutely storming through the leagues! Promotion looks very likely for you now and League 1 is not much different to League 2 in terms of quality. If you can keep hold of your key players and replace your fringe players with even more talented players, straight promotion to the Championship would not even be an unrealistic objective if you were to get promoted this season.
Justice: Haha, indeed we are. Also, you're very correct with your comment, there isn't much difference in the quality played in League 1 and League 2 and so we could very realistically challenge for another promotion - providing we hang on for promotion, this season. Exciting times for Havant!
Season Three: Winter Transfer Window
Transfers Out
With a fair few players discontent at a lack of game time, there was surprisingly a lot of transfer activity during January, no fewer than 6 squad members moving away from West Leigh Park.
Mikhael Jaimez-Ruiz
Key Attributes: Reflexes, Determination, Eccentricity
The ageing shot stopper Jaimez-Ruiz was the first departure, and having been forced to sit on the bench for the entirety of the season, I can understand him wanting to leave. He was a good player in the Conference for us, and so the least that can be done is to thank him for his service to the club, as well as wish him all the best at Oldham.
Jerome Okimo
Position: Left Back
Key Attributes: Pace, Acceleration, Stamina
Okimo was a player I was desperate to get rid of, as he was nowhere near to the standard of League 2 football, and was just a hindrance to our wage budget. He hadn't played all season long anyway, so was just as happy to leave the club, for first team football.
Joe Oastler
Position: Right Back
Key Attributes: Determination, Tackling, Marking
Oastler is another player who has had a lack of playing time for Havant, and is likely to leave come the end of the season. Bath have taken him on loan in the meantime, the Vanarama Conference more suited to his ability.
Austin Lipman
Position: Striker
Key Attributes: Natural Fitness, Anticipation, Free Kick Taking
With Bubb and Akinfenwa ahead of him, as well as one of our new additions, Lipman doesn't really have much of a chance of getting in our side. A loan deal will give him the opportunity to prove himself, but going from his goalscoring record while with us, he is also unlikely to earn a new deal.
Ashley Hemmings
Position: Winger
Key Attributes: Flair, Agility, Pace
In a similar situation to Oastler and Lipman, finding himself way down in the pecking order, Ashley Hemmings has been loaned out ahead of a permanent exit in the summer. He should be a decent player for Hednesford, which says it all really – he's not on our level, at all.
Position: Central Midfielder
Key Attributes: Long Throws, Composure, Determination
Having done a decent job even in League 2, I didn't originally plan for Ian Morris to leave the club, but arrivals kind of forced me into this. With players in his position coming in, and already having the role of back-up, Morris wanted to go elsewhere – his contract eventually being mutually terminated.
Transfers In
Although the existing players had done an excellent job in the matches up to January, I felt that if we were going to sustain our automatic promotion challenge, we were going to need more quality in the squad. With the original target set at avoiding relegation, the board decided to give me more funds and increase the expectations, paving the way for new arrivals.
Eoin Doyle
Key Attributes: Work Rate, Teamwork, Natural Fitness
While Bradley Bubb and Adebayo Akinfenwa have been brilliant, we always needed another striker, to bring some diversity to this role. Eoin was a great candidate, with a decent goalscoring record, affordable wages and some solid looking attributes. Hopefully he can quickly settle in and give the other two attackers a real fight for a first team spot.
Alex Cisak
Key Attributes: Handling, Bravery, Jumping Reach
After the sale of Mikhael Jaimez-Ruiz, a new goalkeeper was urgently needed. First off I set about searching for a player that wouldn't mind being number two but soon found out that Alex Cisak was without a club, and snapped him up immediately to become my new number one. We have another good goalkeeper at the club in Lawrence Vigouroux however Cisak has that bit more quality and experience, which can even be beneficial to Vigouroux, in that the deputy will be able to be tutored by the first choice.
John Swift
Key Attributes: Natural Fitness, Bravery, Fitness
John Swift is probably the most pleasing transfer of the window, a player with bags of ability for this division, and even more potential. Still only 21 years old, he could become a key player for the club, hopefully he will stay here for many years to come.
Matthew Dolan
Key Attributes: Strength, Passing, Long Throws
Dolan, released by Bradford, is again a player who brings something different to the table. A more defensively minded central midfield player, he is always up for a battle, and gives us an extra competitive nature to our game.
Adil Chihi
Key Attributes: Dribbling, Technique, Flair
Playing in the Bundesliga for a lot of his career, Adil Chihi has a lot of pedigree, so I was really glad to bring him to Havant. Technically he is good, giving us more balance in midfield considering the amount of players we have who are more about their physicality. He didn't cut it at Fulham, but has a point to prove for us.
Ricky Holmes
Key Attributes: Work Rate, Corners, Free Kick Taking
If I'm honest the signing of Holmes may have been a bit of a panic buy, and he may not have been the best of options, but he will still beef up our wide options, at least. A hard worker and dead ball specialist, he is a good player and although he is at the prime age of 29, should justify the fee paid.
Ben Purrington
Key Attributes: Determination, Teamwork, Aggression
Danny Grainger was the only left back at the club, so clearly, we needed to bring in some cover in this position – Ben Purrington arriving on loan until the end of the season. He's a player who we have come up against in the past when he was playing for Luton on a loan deal, and I'm sure he can do a decent job here, as well.

The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl | Andrew Durbin. Ocean has also released notes on the making of the new materials and the internet is eating up ever piece of information about his recently released work.
Lambda Literary Fellow Brandon Taylor's essay "There is No Secret to Writing About People Who Do Not Look Like You" has been making the internet rounds:
A writer's work begins and ends with empathy. Without it, there can be no writing, at least not good writing, and if the author cannot enter into the lives of those unlike himself, then he must, I think, hold the work about himself up for closer scrutiny. The distance between the self and the other is never as great as we imagine it to be—the two are often twinned, and it's this relationship that empathy reveals. The best writing, the writing most alive with possibilities, is the writing that at once familiarizes and estranges; it's writing that divorces us from our same-old contexts and shifts our thinking about ourselves and the world around us.
Marvel Comics' The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl has been getting a lot of press lately. Fans have had some theories that the character Koi Boi might be transmasculine, which were confirmed by one of the creators. And actress Shannon Purser, who has gained notoriety for playing Stranger Things fan favorite Barb, has expressed wanting the chance to play Squirrel Girl herself.

Lidia Yuknavitch was interviewed by Lenny Letter where she discussed being a misfit and finding inspiration:
I think the worst lie of all that we've inherited about our own bodies is that the stories of sexuality and sexual identity are already written. The reality is, we haven't even finished figuring out who we are yet as a species — let alone what to do with our bodies. For me, sexuality is a whole terrain or territory that you explore your entire life, from birth to dirt. We've yet to even begin to liberate the full story lines of our bodies.
This week, Alexander Chee's article in Elle explores his relationship with his first and only girlfriend and how she helped give him style.
Nicole Dennis-Benn was interviewed by Flavorwire. When asked to pick one overrated book, she had this to say:
The Bible. I think it's the best fiction out there, but somehow it's often placed in the nonfiction category. It would've been a lot better if Eden, Ruth, Jezebel, Mary, and Mary Magdalene had chapters, too.

By Ernie Smith / Aug 14, 2018 (monkeybusinessimages/iStock/Getty Images Plus)
With a growing interest in apprentice programs among the public, associations are in a position to capitalize—and perhaps<|fim_middle|> more elements of technology—the largest update to the long-running program in its two-decade history. The association's training centers, on their own, have a membership of more than 5,000 workers, according to Engineering News-Record, and the apprenticeship programs are intended for the long haul: NECA rules mandate that workers take part in a five-year program and take 24 hours of continuing education every three years.
The Rhode Island Marine Trades Association has an apprenticeship program that specifically targets high schoolers. Its summertime boatbuilding program aims "to get the students on the water in the boat that they built," according to RIMTA CEO Wendy Mackie. The association is using the summer program to attract participants to join its Marine Trades Pre-Apprenticeship Training Program, a seven-week program designed for those age 18 and older.
Apprenti, a tech-minded apprenticeship program launched in 2016 by the Washington Technology Industry Association, looks to draw workers who are underrepresented in the tech workforce, such as women, minorities, and military veterans. Last week, the program announced its first round of graduates, five veterans who spent a year developing full-time experience at Amazon, a company always in need of new employees—it reportedly has 17,000 openings. "This is just five. It's just the beginning," said Amazon's Ardine Williams, a vice president of human resources operations, in comments reported by The Seattle Times.

Apprenticeships are growing in importance.
According to a recent survey by the American Staffing Association, 68 percent of respondents said they believed that learning a skill through apprenticeship was better for finding a job that would last the long haul. At the same time, 69 percent of respondents felt that the value of a college degree was declining.
The result? There's a rising opportunity for apprentice programs, even in sectors where they haven't been offered before.
Associations are well-suited to offer these kinds of apprenticeships as a way to attract new kinds of workers to their respective industries. Here are just a few of the many examples of such efforts:
The Hospitality Sector Registered Apprenticeship Project, run by the National Restaurant Association Educational Foundation (NRAEF) and the American Hotel and Lodging Association, came about partly in response to a White House executive order that gave associations more leverage in launching their own apprenticeship programs. The program aims to attract and help train new employees in the hospitality industry. "There's a real combined, concerted effort to present this to both the hotel and restaurant industries as a great way to build a company workforce," NRAEF Vice President of Communications Gordon Lambourne said in comments to Associations Now last year.
The National Rural Water Association Apprenticeship Program targets a public service that requires a lot of employees to operate (NRWA estimates 380,000 nationally), in areas of the country where such employees can be difficult to replace. Since the industry is facing an aging workforce and ever-increasing standards, NRWA is leaning on its state and local affiliates to help encourage new water utility workers to join the industry. The program launched last November with the support of the U.S. Labor Department.

Leonard Hiebert runs for third term as Electoral Area D director
by Grace Giesbrecht July 27, 2022 July 27, 2022
DAWSON CREEK, B.C. – Leonard Hiebert, the current director of Electoral Area D for the Peace River Regional District, has decided to let his name stand for reelection to a third term.
Though it was a tough decision, he said, it was<|fim_middle|> Rolla Road.
Communication about the PRRD and the processes, discussion, and debate that go into specific decisions was a sticking point early on in Hiebert's tenure and an area that saw significant, community-led improvements during it. It is also something Hiebert wants to keep improving should he win another term.
"At one of my community roundtables a few years back, [someone] suggested that we maybe start videotaping the meetings," Hiebert explained.
"Now that we're recording those meetings, they can actually see how we get to those conclusions on those resolutions."
All PRRD meetings are now livestreamed and recorded for members of the public to view. This began before the pandemic required the incorporation of such technology for these meetings.
Communication between the PRRD and constituents is one element of these vital connections. Another is communication between Hiebert and the community he represents—a line he wants to build up again.
The idea to record PRRD meetings came out of a community roundtable—a casual meeting with constituents Hiebert hopes to hold more of in the future.
"COVID has really kind of knocked that back, the communication that we used to have in just sitting over a table, having coffee," he said. "It'll be good to work on getting that back on track again."
The Municipal General Election will be held in October, 2022. PRRD board members, like city councillors, will be chosen by voters during this process.

Hiebert is proud of some of the achievements that have come from his time on the regional district board but says there is still much work to be done.
Connectivity and communication for the PRRD's Area D and the district overall are two of the main areas he has focused on in the past and plans to continue working in to serve his constituents.
Several pockets of the PRRD's Area D still have no cellphone service, Hiebert explained, speaking with Energeticcity.ca over a crackling phone connection. Broadband connectivity is an issue for even larger portions of the region.
"We know that, going forward, and we're working on getting those done," he said.

"Mining for Metadata": Will You Strike Gold or Strike Out?
By Karel Mazanec and Douglas B. Mishkin on May 4, 2017
You might have heard about "mining for metadata." What does it mean? How is it done? Should you do it?
When the origins of a critical document are at issue, you know to examine that document's metadata. "Mining for metadata" is something else. It's the process of using software to systematically search through the metadata embedded in a collection of documents. Since metadata sometimes can determine or affect the outcome of a case, it's important to know how and when you may mine an opponent's metadata, and how you can protect yourself from those who may want to mine yours.
Mining Your Opponent's Metadata
Think of how the question may arise. Typically, sophisticated litigants agree in advance on the format of the electronically stored information to be produced, and what metadata will be included in the production. Tech-savvy attorneys usually insist on producing most, if not all, documents as TIFF images of the original files. This prevents opposing counsel from searching through the metadata, except for what is intentionally disclosed in addition to the TIFF files. Sometimes opposing counsel will agree to produce native versions of documents without considering the importance of the embedded metadata. This is more likely to occur with files that are ordinarily produced in native format, such as Excel and PowerPoint, because they are more difficult to produce and review in imaged format. Other times, a judge or arbitrator may order a litigant to produce files in native format because an opposing litigant has successfully argued that the metadata obtainable from the native version may contain discoverable information. In such scenarios, mining for metadata may yield great benefits.
By using the appropriate software, your in-house or outside counsel can review caches of metadata catalogued by various properties, such as author and date, and can retrieve additional metadata that might otherwise remain buried within the documents. This is particularly helpful if any of the documents contain unique or unusual metadata, such as hidden comments or redlines, which can flag potential issues or relevant information.
Consider the following three scenarios and cases:
In a trade secrets case, you need to need to prove that your former employee possessed or used a confidential document with your proprietary information at the time in dispute. Venable recently obtained a $20-million-plus judgment in such a case by using metadata to prove that an illicit competitor used our client's proprietary information in preparing a proposal for a lucrative government contract.
Your opponent cannot produce relevant documents or the corresponding metadata, and you want to pursue a spoliation claim. An administrative law judge recently awarded a trade secrets plaintiff a default judgment as well as costs and fees worth more than $1.9 million because the metadata proved that the defendant tampered with and destroyed relevant metadata.
You suspect that opposing counsel fraudulently modified a critical document, and you want to expose their misrepresentation. Earlier this year, a whistleblower won nearly $11 million in a Dodd-Frank retaliation claim, in part because he was able to prove—using metadata—that his employer had fraudulently backdated a performance review.
These are just a few examples of how to use metadata against an opponent. Counsel looking to use metadata in a similar fashion should be aware of possible legal and ethical limitations, which differ by state. Some jurisdictions, like New York and Washington, DC, generally do not permit attorneys to review metadata contained in documents from an adverse party until after consulting with opposing counsel to determine if the metadata includes privileged or confidential information. Other states, like Maryland and Colorado, generally do permit attorneys to review such metadata prior to ascertaining if the sender intended to include it (unless he or she has actual knowledge the transmission was inadvertent). Still other jurisdictions, like Pennsylvania and Minnesota, have adopted a case-by-case standard that allows review of the metadata under some, but not all, circumstances. Although the ABA takes the position that an attorney can ethically review metadata embedded in documents received from an adverse party, the attorney is still obligated to notify that adverse party if he or she knows or reasonably should know that<|fim_middle|> and information—including metadata. As a result, "purging" metadata may constitute the destruction of evidence—spoliation—resulting in sanctions, including adverse legal inferences by the court and an award of attorney's fees and costs.
If you anticipate litigation, at a minimum you should consult counsel before using a commercial product such as DriveScrubber, CCleaner, or Eraser to remove metadata. If you use software that routinely "purges" metadata, such as email client add-ins that automatically remove metadata from attachments just before they are sent, you should turn off or otherwise manage that software to preserve relevant metadata.

Protecting Your Metadata From Being Mined
Prudent lawyers and litigants protect against mining. Before, during, and after discovery, they take care to avoid disclosing privileged, confidential, or irrelevant metadata to the other side. Some metadata may be protected by attorney-client privilege, or by the work product doctrine; as a result, under certain circumstances disclosing it might be deemed a waiver of either or both. Even if not a waiver, an inadvertent disclosure of metadata may simply alert opposing counsel to important facts or issues. This is why many companies now use "scrubbing" or "purging" software that removes a document's metadata before sharing it with others.
But be careful. If used improperly or in the wrong circumstance, metadata "purging" software may do more harm than good. Once a company reasonably anticipates litigation, it must preserve relevant documents | 183 |

It's the rappers ninth overall release, and first release in<|fim_middle|> Ms Mr unveil their second dreamy effort, How Does it Feel this week. Drunken Werewolf calls the album "an extremely enjoyable, well crafted sophomore effort", noting that the record is "a strange chameleon". I really dug the first Ms Mr record, Secondhand Rapture, especially the single "Hurricane" and Lizzy Plapinger's intoxicating voice, so I'm excited for this one.Got some competition with that new Beach House record coming up.

Solo Country Stuff
Legendary legend and country music icon Alan Jackson returns with his 20th release, Angels and Alcohol. Nashville Gab says that the album is "really good". Rolling Stone says that it is "presumably a return to his country roots", after a couple of detours into gospel and bluegrass, and Jackson wrote seven of the ten songs on the album. I don't know why that's a big deal but all of the reviews mention it, so I thought I'd pass it on.
One time Drive By Trucker, and current contender for most important songwriter alive, Jason Isbell returns with his fifth solo effort, Something More Than Free. This is the highly anticipated follow up to Isbell's outstanding Southeastern release from 2013 and it has "important" written all over it. Stereogum calls it "a heavy record that projects the kind of sadness that comes along with feeling unfulfilled". That's a hefty sounding criticism. Look for this to be on year end lists.
Indie Rock Still Matters
Deep down in the land down under psychelic unit Tame Impala keep doing great things. Or do they? This review in The Independent of Currents, the band's first effort since 2012's hypnotic Lonerism, says that the band has moved into "electropop", and talks of "a mousse of heavily-reverbed voices and keyboards" and "oceanic, enveloping waves of synth" and claims that "the absence of guitar wig-outs may disappoint some fans."

I sadly confess that in December, the month we celebrate the birth of Christ, I have sometimes felt and acted more stressed than Christ-like. I've tried to convince myself that all the "giving" I was stressing over is what Jesus and Christmas is all about. However, the kind of giving I tend to be focused on is not Christ-like giving at all. I've yet to find a scripture that tells of Jesus giving a material gift. In my wildest imaginations I can't picture Him spending hours in the marketplace searching for the perfect "thing" to give a family member. What He gave was himself. He gave healing, understanding, spiritual wisdom, and the superb gift of His calm and loving presence.
A few times He did feed people—which is definitely one of the things we are inclined to do during the holidays. But his loaves and fishes were to refresh those who had been without food for many hours, not to tempt the appetite. And mostly He offered spiritual food and refreshment, the Bread of Life, Living Waters.
This Christmas season I want so much to give in a more Christ-like way. The way of peace and the way of the Lord is not hurry and frazzled nerves and feeling like I'm juggling a hundred different balls. I have a choice and can refuse to get caught up in this juggling act. I can choose to slow down and walk the path of peace. I can choose to make Christmas more about Christ. The first and second great commandments are to love God and each other. That's the joyful kind of guideline I want to practice now, this month, this day!
December is a good time to check up on myself to see if the focus of my time and energies makes spiritual sense.
Taking time to hug a little child or pat a friend's shoulder and listen to her problems is important. I've learned not to feel like I should be doing something "more productive." There is nothing more productive than love.
The Spirit's voice does not urge us to speed, to hurry, or to stress, but to the calm of caring, the peace of purpose. Following the promptings brings simplicity, not overwhelm. It helps us say, "no" to many things so that we may say "yes" to the few God tells us are ours alone to do.
Here's how Janice Kapp Perry found a way to do that one Christmas. She said "Instead of sending stacks of impersonal cards I chose five people who were really suffering from serious problems or losses. I wrote them each a deeply personal letter of understanding and concern. I told them I knew how difficult this season must be for them and expressed my love . . . "I truly believe the most Christ-like thing we can do at Christmas is<|fim_middle|> will miraculously find time to finish them before the 25th , yet how many Decembers have I done just that? It takes extra time to drive anywhere because of traffic; it takes extra time to shop because of the crowds—yet I sometimes expect that if I just hurry I can get more done in less time than usual. I want to serve much more than usual when I have fewer discretionary hours than any other time. Unrealistic expectations and over-ambitious goals can wreak havoc with our dispositions.
Christmastime burnout is more than a remote possibility; it has almost become the norm. Unrealistically high expectations of ourselves feeds the fire. Dean Larsen said that "over-zealousness is at least as much to be feared as apathy. Trying to measure up to too many expectations without some sense of self-tolerance can cause spiritual and emotional burnout." How can we avoid burnout and unrealistic expectations? How can we take ourselves apart from the clamor so common in our culture and maintain or regain our physical, emotional, and spiritual health? How can we learn honor the Savior by celebrating his birth in a more peaceful way?
Perhaps the first thing we need to do is to prioritize and pare down our goals. Everyone I'm around will enjoy the season more if I'm not under pressure. How many of the gifts I'm planning to give this season are really meaningful? Which ones will actually make a difference? The gift my family needs most is my love and good example—and I'm not good at giving it when I am hurried, pressured, frazzled, worn out, and grouchy from lack of sleep. It is not a selfish goal to take care of myself, eat healthy food, rest when I need to, and be realistic in my commitments.
I've found two suggestions really helpful to accomplish the goal of a more peaceful December: 1. Slow down, and 2. have longer "not-to-do-lists" than "to-do lists. Let me explain.
Many times slowing down is exactly what is needed to become more efficient and more effective in whatever we choose to do at Christmastime. A person who works from a place of calm purpose is likely to accomplish a lot more than one with frazzled nerves and a pressured sense of hurry. When we're feeling really rushed, we can become inefficient and so task oriented we can become insensitive to the needs of those around us. So let's slow down!
Quoting Dorothy Nielsen again: "This is what hurrying did for me recently. I hurried to get the Jello salad in the car and spilled it on the garage floor, so I got to the dinner late.
As I was hurrying home to clean it up I smashed the fender of my car on a pole outside the garage. I hurried to get an estimate to get the fender fixed and was late for Dan's cello lesson. I hurried home to call his teacher, slipped in the Jello on the garage floor and yelled, 'I don't have time for this, I'm going to be late for PTA!' No wonder I tell myself often, you've got a lot to do today, so slow down. By going slower, I get twice as much done. Slowing down to get more done means focusing my attention completely on the task at hand: placing the Jello safely in the car, carefully steering past the pole. It means not worrying, fretting and stewing, but just doing. Worry and hurry doesn't improve my performance, it hinders it." So let's slow down!
2. Make more "Not-To-Do" lists than "To-Do" lists.
If a traditional task or goal seems daunting, if a project could wait until after the holidays (or can be eliminated altogether), we can put them on a "Not-To-Do" list. For example, If I haven't finished a project before Dec. 1st I put it on my December "not to do list." The world is not going to fall down if I don't finish it until next year.
Any kind of food that takes hours of preparation goes on a "Not-To-Do" list. Too many delicious foods can be put together in a jiffy to wear myself out with the other kind. Any holiday tradition that takes a lot of time should be re-evaluated. Is it worth the time? We can ask family members which traditions are important to them and which aren't. One friend told me her family eliminated a lot of stress when they cut out the tradition of picking out a live tree in the freezing cold, over-busy evenings of December in favor of a good quality artificial tree they could put up early.
We've been programmed to keep careful track of all the things we need to do. Now let's start pinpointing the things that aren't worth doing. The saying "Anything worth doing is worth doing well should be altered to say "many things are not worth doing at all, and many things are not worth doing well because they're not worth the time it takes to do them well. Only a few things are worth the best energies that we have. The most important decisions we have to make in December as in other times, is whether we are using our time to draw near unto Christ. Only when the answer is "Yes" can we maintain a calm spiritual center so we can contribute to those around us in a meaningful ways and live true to our deepest values.
Instead, He says, "Come unto me, remember me, walk with Me." He never wants us to leave the sweet, peaceful, hopeful, calm influence of His Presence and be lured away into a state of hurry and anxiety and fear and tension. When the Spirit prompts me to some specific task that is His will for me, it is always something the Lord wants us to do TOGETHER. I need to be willing to just "be still," and let Him be in charge. If I have the wisdom to stay with Him, walk with Him, He is the One who provides the power to carry out the job, in His own good time (which is always for the best good of everyone.) Anything on my "To do" list that I can't approach in that way, I should consider deleting!
I challenge you to lengthen your "Not-To-Do list" and generate a plan for slowing down. We always have choice, we always have options. It really is up to us. We can choose to do December differently this year. We can choose to do better at following Christ's example of love and peace. That is my new December goal! | to reach out to people who are suffering. If we do that, we don't need to harbor guilt for all the millions of other things we don't get done. (Latter-day Woman Magazine, Holiday Issue, 1986).
I love her idea because it sounds so unhurried and loving.
However, facts are facts: no matter how much we simplify and try to focus on loving, December can easily be the busiest month of the year. Even the most Christ-centered celebration requires time and preparation.
There are only 24 hours in each day of December, just as in any other month; yet in addition to all the regular chores—cooking, laundry, cleaning, errands, church responsibilities and regular work, we somehow expect to fit in a multitude of Christmas activities. It is obviously impossible to fit five times as many activities into a month and not get worn out. I need the same amount of sleep in December–or more than usual in order to stay healthy, yet I'm inclined to get much less.
I know it is crazy to start projects in December and think I | 224 |

Daily Mail. Protesters wearing the colors of both Harvard and Yale staged a sit-in at midfield of Yale Bowl during halftime of the 136th edition of the annual football rivalry known as The Game.
Most left after about an hour when they were escorted off by police; about two dozen who remained were told by police they were under arrest.
A few dozen protesters initially trickled onto the field as the Yale band finished performing its halftime routine.
They held up banners asking the schools´ presidents to divest from the fossil fuel industry, while other signs raised issues of Puerto Rican debt and the treatment of the Uighurs.
Largely of college age but with a few older protesters mixed in, the group chanted: 'Hey Hey! Ho Ho! Fossil fuels have got to go!' One banner read 'This is an emergency.'
In a statement distributed to reporters in the press box during the fourth quarter, Yale said it 'stands firmly for<|fim_middle|> resilience today in an extremely difficult situation.'

It's hard to imagine living in Colorado and not taking advantage of horseback riding. Everyone always mentions skiing & snowboarding when you tell them you live here but there's something about horseback riding in the mountains that seems as old as the Rockies themselves.
I used to love to go riding as a kid, but living in cities it became cost prohibitive. Not to mention there really weren't that many places to get out and ride. Now I live less than an hour away from some of the most scenic ground you could hope to cover. Today, my husband and I went to ride in Moraine Park in the Rocky Mountain National Park.
We opted for a 2 hour ride because my husband hasn't been on a lot of horses. Normally<|fim_middle|> up on a horse you fall into the rhythm of it. It's peaceful to hear the clippity clop of hooves hitting the trail and the swish of the horses' tails. The meditative sway starts to take hold and anything that may have been weighing on your mind seems far away.
I think my husband is even slowly coming around to being a horse person despite his grumbles and groans as he got down from his horse.
The thing we kept talking about on the way home is how amazing it is we can just take a short drive and go riding here. It's practically in our backyard. It can be easy to overlook what's around you and do the same things all the time.
This week it's been great to get out and explore Colorado the way many first explored it, via horseback.
You are currently reading Riding in the Rockies at 52 To Do. | I'm not a huge fan of the plodding along trail rides but when you're looking at the scenery we were looking at you really don't mind. Today, my horse was Rambo. The only attitude he seemed to have was about eating grass along the way. I may have obliged a couple of times since I was enjoying the scenery.
It was another beautiful, sunny Colorado day and the wildflowers were blooming everywhere. My husband picked up a field guide so we could have an idea of what we were seeing. Alpine lilies, Indian Paintbrush, Larkspur to name a few.

Les Misérables: Directing D Day
Many years after his sad childhood, Fortin returns to the Guillaumes' inn as an adult, accompanied by three criminal accomplices, known as Addition, Blame and Bonnard (TICKY HOLGADO, ANTOINE DULERY and JACQUES BONNOT). Fortin is pained by the memories of the treatment<|fim_middle|> end of the war, is able to buy and run the inn at Adam Isle, establishing a safe place for the Ziman family to re-unite and for the surviving "Miserables" to complete their story, with the now-grown Salome marrying Marius and the family happily celebrating.
"Today," says Lelouch, "I think that this ending in Adam Isle was destined, because it makes the story swing to another level. I feel that the hero swept his past aside to live something else, without regret.
"And at the same time, I am closer to Hugo's novel because, at the end of the book, Valjean also finds peace, although it is at his deathbed. Hugo's Valjean forgot his anger, and my Fortin dances to the happiness of his proteges, and it's good. "After thirty-four films, I am dedicated to filming hope."
Back to "Les Misérables" | that sent his mother to her death, and determined to confront the brutal innkeepers who were responsible. But once he arrives he learns that the Guillaumes have died and their son and grandson, a much kinder duo, now run the inn.
After spending the night at the inn, Fortin's group awakes to discover Allied ships lining the horizon. Though they are thrilled by this development, their happiness quickly turns to terror as they find themselves the target of a vicious shelling. Fortin once again demonstrates heroism in, ironically, defending the inn.
Lelouch was aided in the immense undertaking of filming this sequence by real life: the actual 50th anniversary commemoration of D-Day was being assembled, and it included many period warships anchored on the coast. However, the film's shelling sequence, which involved setting numerous explosive charges, could only be filmed once -- it had to come off perfectly.
After many rehearsals, the cast embarked on what felt like an actual re-enactment of D-Day, including Fortin's brave rescue of the innkeeper's young son. Miraculously, the sequence went almost without a hitch.
Then, to Lelouch's dismay, only days later, a mysterious fire burned the inn, a huge and complex set containing innumerable props and pieces of technical materials, to the ground. In the midst of his shock, though, the director managed to film the destruction and, ultimately, to use it in the movie.
Initially, Belmondo's character takes revenge on his past by buying, 50 years later, the inn where he and his mother suffered so many years before. But after the fire destroyed his set, Lelouch thought further about the scene. He realized that no man would choose to live where he had endured such a cruel childhood, and that he had to look elsewhere for an ending to "Les Miserables."
He reflects, "Everything is cruel before becoming simple. I told myself that if the inn burned after everything to that point had been filmed, it's because it was time to change the set. In other words, the end of the film could not take place there.
"It was at that moment that the beach of Adam Isle came to my memory, where I had learned to swim as a child, where my parents had sent me to summer camp. I remembered that beach, its bathing huts, its pedal boats, and I said to myself, 'If only it still exists! ' So I left in the middle of the night, arrived early in the morning, and jumped for joy upon seeing that it had not changed. Everything was exactly as I had remembered it!"

CAPSULE: VANILLA SKY (2001)
December 1, 2015 Shane Wilson Leave a comment
DIRECTED BY: Cameron Crowe
FEATURING: Tom Cruise, Penélope Cruz, Cameron Diaz, Jason Lee, Kurt Russell
PLOT: A spoiled playboy finds hope in a sudden romance, but an encounter with a jilted ex leaves him scarred and facing surreal situations beyond his comprehension.
WHY IT WON'T MAKE THE LIST: Vanilla Sky is effectively trippy, and by far the most ambitious visual experiment from a director best known for his way with words. But ultimately the film is weird only by Hollywood standards, and is too neat and tidy in wrapping up its mysteries.
COMMENTS: Cameron Crowe described his remake of Alejandro Amenabar's Abre los ojos (Open Your Eyes) as a "cover version". It's an appropriate metaphor, considering Crowe's background as a rock journalist. In fact, Vanilla Sky hits all the same beats as its predecessor, but does so with considerably more panache. The A-list cast, liberal use of iconic New York City locations, and Crowe's typical meticulously-crafted soundtrack (featuring Bob Dylan, The Beach Boys, and Radiohead, among others) all point to a production that goes way beyond its modest origins. And in some respects, the grander touches actually do enhance the central mystery of what is going on in the mind of Cruise's immature media heir. Whereas the Spanish iteration is a straightforward thriller, Crowe plays more with the metaphysical. The stakes seem higher, the stage bigger.
Crowe has to be flashier, though, to hold off the reveal of the Shyamalan-esque twist at the heart of Vanilla Sky, one that might be all-too-obvious to an audience born on The Twilight Zone and raised on surprise reveals that make you question all that comes before. A re-watch of the film confirms that Crowe doesn't cheat, but accomplishes the feat by distraction. Red herrings and visual allusions (many of which are revealed in a detailed wrap-up montage in the final act) all strive to get the audience looking in the wrong direction, and they are aided by some unusually baroque acting performances. Foremost among these are the gleefully unhinged Cameron Diaz, a dryly obtuse Noah Taylor, and Tilda Swinton, who brings to her cameo the full arsenal of weirdness that comes with being Tilda Swinton. Oddly, the only actor who seems out of place in the film is Penélope Cruz, the only carry-over from the source material. Cruz is beautiful but disengaged, possibly owing to her relative unfamiliarity with English at this point in her career, and she never displays any of the fire associated with later performances.
At the center of all of this, of course, is Tom Cruise. Present in nearly every scene, he uses his familiar livewire intensity to walk along the edge of madness. Interestingly, he also indulges in a strangely masochistic duel with his own image, at times trading his solid reputation as handsome leading man for both disfiguring facial makeup and a full-face mask obscuring his renowned visage entirely. (His interaction with a group of doctors proffering the mask results in probably the funniest line delivery of his career.) It's a bold performance, but also quintessentially Cruise.
In the long run, the greatest contribution Vanilla Sky makes is as a central pillar in the ongoing meta-conversation that is Tom Cruise's career. We conceive of the star as a man whose intense stare and tone betray an insanity barely being kept in check. His character here sits comfortably alongside other entries in the Cruise oeuvre, such as the righteous avenger of the Mission: Impossible movies, the clueless dilettante of Eyes Wide Shut, the angry manipulator from Magnolia, the determined martyr of Valkyrie, and the repeatedly-murdered hero of Edge of Tomorrow. It's hard to say whether Cruise knows this and can't resist tweaking the audience by exploiting what we already think we know about him, or if he simply can't help steering toward projects that provide a glimpse of a troubled psyche. Either way, Vanilla Sky does make viewers feel like they're getting a choice look into the soul of Hollywood's brashest-yet-most-mysterious celebrity.
WHAT THE CRITICS SAY:
"Perhaps realizing that to begin reshuffling Amenabar's complicated structure would bring down the whole deck of cards, Crowe scarcely touched it, changing only minor details, retaining important key dialogue and making his most significant contribution by moving the mood away from dark weirdness to one drenched in modern mores and rock 'n' roll. Plotwise, if you've seen 'Open Your Eyes,' you've seen 'Vanilla Sky.'"–Todd McCarthy, Variety (contemporaneous)
2001Cameron Crow<|fim_middle|> Butterworth, John-Henry Butterworth, and Christopher McQuarrie) take a self-conscious, witty approach in spirit of Hiroshi Sakurazaka's novella "All You Need Is Kill," on which the screenplay is based.
As soldier Cage, Cruse abandons his normal poster boy persona with relish. He is a coward and reluctant hero, mercilessly bullied by his Master Sergeant Farell (Bill Paxton, impressing again). Predictably, Cage manages to get himself killed in war with the alien Mimics. Only, these extraterrestrial neo-Fascists revive him time and again, in an attempt to study the battle techniques of humans. As in a video game, even death is not a finality; and while under normal circumstances comparing a movie to something out of Nintendo is no compliment, here it is that looping, arcade-styled aesthetic the filmmakers first mimic, then cleverly divert from.
Cruise's Cage is nearly matched by Emily Blunt's Rita. It is a rarity for Cruise to have a vital female lead and, like her character, Blunt inspires him into something transformative. Almost as surprising as Cruise is in an atypical role, Blunt is equally so, even though her part is still secondary. It may be a minuscule quibble, given the excellent work of the two leads. Cruise has securely returned to his torch-carrying, old-fashioned move star mold. It is a welcome return. An unsatisfactory third act almost threatens to dismantle the film, but, thankfully, fails.
The sublime Groundhog Day was awash in romantic spirituality and originality. Edge of Tomorrow takes a more visceral route, aided considerably by Don Beebe's cinematography which consciously pays homage to Spielberg's WWII opus Saving Private Ryan. This does not mean that Edge Of Tomorrow is brainless. Alas, it might have been more profitable if it had been. American audiences, who rarely can form syllables or go beyond spoon fed formula, have mostly stayed away and Edge of Tomorrow is expected to be a box office flop, having been quashed by Disney's umpteenth retelling of "Sleeping Beauty."
As the saying goes: one will never go broke underestimating the intelligence (or taste) of the American public.

CAPSULE: EYES WIDE SHUT (1999)
July 6, 2015 Ryan Aarset Leave a comment
DIRECTED BY: Stanley Kubrick
FEATURING: Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman, Sydney Pollack, Todd Field
PLOT: An upscale married couple struggles with the temptations of infidelity in modern Greenwich Village, leading the husband to become enmeshed in a secret sex cult.
WHY IT WON'T MAKE THE LIST: Aside from the creepy centerpiece involving an orgy of masked figures in cloaks, nothing weird happens. Eyes Wide Shut is a serious, deliberate psychological study with some interesting political undertones about power.
COMMENTS: Everyone loves a good sex party, especially when there are masks involved. You can role play, burn incense, and even participate in pagan rituals without worrying about being ratted out. In Eyes Wide Shut, Nicole Kidman, playing the melancholic wife Alice Harford, kicks everything off, posing to show off her pump-raised buttocks, and what follows is an odyssey about power and lust. The tragedy is that this film, Kubrick's final—starring everyone's favorite Scientologist and his then real life spouse—has been repeatedly reduced to some kind of vague warning about the dangers of an unchecked elite society (Illuminati, etc.), especially since the juiciest segments of the movie come from interpersonal struggle and subsequent identity distortion. These characters terminally deceive themselves and others. Cruise completely owns his role as the terribly charming but ultimately insecure professional Bill Harford, reminding us why we tolerate his wacky off-screen cult endeavors. Offering a multilayered performance with incredible range, restraint and subtlety, he provokes inquisition into his on-screen psyche. Kubrick is the master auteur he's always been, while Kidman makes everyone horny, forming a powerful trifecta.
Judicious attention is given to high society, people with power and influence, to how they stew in immorality and the instability of their relationships. Kidman displays aggressive coquetry by teasing a suave ballroom gigolo, while at the opposite end of the party Cruise has two women swooning over him. This is a muddy affair hiding behind a façade of elegance and sophistication. We imagine all of the private lives of the patrons here have the same debased, amoral existence, rooted in treachery and egocentrism. Detachment is prevalent, indicative of wealthy people so confident in their endless supply of bailouts that there's literally nothing they can't get away with, nothing that can't be covered up.
Like any good doctor, Bill Harford enjoys playing God. He's a man with pride and confidence in his professional demeanor, infinite charm spiraling outwards from an desire to dominate others with his own compassion and experience. "Doctors are so…knowledgeable," says a flirty party gal to Bill. When the camera closes in on Alice's beautiful behind once again, the question remains: is it good enough Continue reading CAPSULE: EYES WIDE SHUT (1999) →

ALFRED EAKER VS. THE SUMMER BLOCKBUSTERS: EDGE OF TOMORROW (2014)
June 26, 2014 Alfred Eaker 1 Comment
With his Napoleon complex, obsessiveness over religious fads, questionable treatment of wives, salary demands, and downright paranoia over maintaining his box office standing, Tom Cruise makes himself an easy target. However, occasionally this actor picks interesting roles and reveals genuine talent.
Cruise started off roughly around the same time as Johnny Depp, and early in their careers the contrast between the two could not have been more pronounced. If anyone was the patron saint of loud, dumb summer blockbusters, it was Cruise. He set the model with Top Gun (1986), and who could forget Cocktail (1988)? That box office bonanza, one of the worst movies of the last half century, is proof that the masses will buy just about any excrement if it is marketed right. Cruise went on to act in and produce Mission Impossible (1996). Despite having Brian De Palma in charge, it was not a good start to the franchise. Yet, the franchise dramatically improved, especially with Ghost Protocol (2011). Depp's goals were more artistic, and he seemed ill-suited to the blockbuster mentality. However, the distinction between these two box office leviathans has blurred. Depp has become increasingly apathetic, even cartoonish as the star of his own blockbuster franchise, which started off bad and has only gotten worse. Despite a promising early body of work, Depp has gone into autopilot mode, while Cruise only works harder (sometimes too hard). Cruise's fretting about securing his star status has, for the most part, reaped rewards, while he has expectedly proven his superiority in manning the blockbuster ship. Unexpectedly, Cruise continues to take startling risks at times, even if he does not inspire extended confidence with a planned Top Gun sequel, yet another Mission Impossible, or a here-we-go-again version of Van Helsing. Still, Cruise may merely be continuing a shrewdly cultivated balancing act and, in doing so, maintaining his ability to surprise.
One such surprise is in the summer sci-fi outing, Edge of Tomorrow (2014). The unoriginal title is hardly promising, nor is the much bandied-about description "Groundhog Day Meets Independence Day." The clever tagline "Live. Die. Repeat." suggests a video game. Numerous critics have made the comparison, but director Doug Liman and a trio of writers (Jez | 1,220 |

France's education ministry published its annual grades for secondary schools, or lycées, on Wednesday, revealing that private, religiously-affiliated schools were among the top performers and that Paris was home to many of the highest ranking institutions.
The results are in. Parents, students and teachers curious about how their school is performing can consult the Department of Education's annual secondary school performance reports on Wednesday. The scores are based on each schools 2012 baccalaureate results.
Although the Ministry of Education does not produce any official league table of lycées, several French media sites, such as Le Parisien, have worked out the rankings by analysing the results.
In the table, the secondary schools are divided into two categories - lycées specializing in general education and technology, and lycées for vocational training.
Although France prides itself on its state education, this year's best-performing secondary school in the general<|fim_middle|> a "wonderful success that the school and all the staff are proud of."
"There are some truly great schools in France, and for us to be placed ahead of institutions like the Lycée Henri-IV [in Paris], is a really lovely surprise," he added, ascribing the school's success to the support and help given to its students "beyond the school year, late into July, and during exam periods."
However l'Express, another media outlet ranked the Averroes school the country's fifth best lycée after using a different methodology in which it takes the demographics of the students into account to work out its own league table.
And for lycées specializing in vocational training, the highest performing schools were mostly private colleges, with Catholic institutions dominating the top rankings.
There was also good news for the French capital, whose secondary schools dominated the higher echelons of Le Parisien's rankings for 'general education and technology' lycées.
However Catherine Moisan from the Directorate of Evaluation, Forecasting and Performance (DEPP) warned against taking the scores at face value.
"We should not be satisfied just to look at the success of the baccalaureate to judge the effectiveness of a school," she said. "We also need to look at how the school supports its students.
Maison also said it as important not to compare schools unfairly.
"If you have a high school in a disadvantaged suburb where students have diverse educational backgrounds, then just getting them to achieve above expected results shows the school is very effective," she said.
Each school's score is calculated according to three main measurements.
First, the rate of students passing their baccalaureat (final year) exams; second, the rate of students graduating from their second-last year to sit the baccalaureat exams (at the same school) and finally, the percentage of graduates who go on to obtain a bachelor's degree at a university.
Anyone wishing to browse the league tables for France, or region-by-region, should consult the following charts from French daily Le Parisien. For the general category, click here. For the vocational training category, click here.
Readers can also check the performance of a specific school, by following this link to France's education ministry. | education category according to Le Parisien's table was in fact the 'Lycée Averroès', a private Muslim school in the northern city of Lille.
The school was founded by the local Muslim community in 2003, almost ten years after the exclusion of 19 girls from a nearby lycée for wearing the Islamic veil. It now has around 150 registered pupils.
The lycée is also due to expand after recently taking steps to purchase a new 5000 square metre premises. It will soon be able to cater for 500 students.

World's first cannabis artist-in-residence shares his year of weed immersion

Considering the historic connection between cannabis and creativity, it was only a matter of time before a cannabusiness and an artist made it official.
In July 2016, Montreal-based filmmaker and photographer Ezra Soiferman became the world's first cannabis artist-in-residence thanks to Canada's Tweed–the largest licensed cannabis producer in the country (and currently valued at $1.26 billion on the Toronto Stock Exchange).
With his year-long artistic odyssey wrapping at the beginning of this month, Soiferman reflected on his residency and shared some his favorite pieces with The Cannabist.
The artist said his fascination with cannabis is going on 25 years.
"My obsession with the plant and all that it can do has led me down various paths to meet people who are using it for various reasons, but I have a big medical interest," Soiferman said. "It boggles my mind how versatile it is, so this desire to learn as much as I can and meet as many people as I can in the industry has never stopped. And it's brought me to where I am today — connecting cannabis to art and art to cannabis from the epicenter."
Story continues below gallery
Photographer Ezra Soiferman: "About ten years ago, I listened to Leonard Cohen's music for the first time on a plane ride from Montreal to L.A. I loved it so much. Waiting at the luggage carousel after the flight, who walked by but Mr. Cohen himself. I walked up to him and told him about the coincidence and wished him a 'mazel tov' on such fine music, telling him we were both nice young Jewish boys from Montreal. He had a laugh and continued on along his merry way. This is a shot I took lying on the ground outside his house in Montreal a few days after his death last November." (Ezra Soiferman for Tweed)
As a student at New York University's Tisch School of the Arts, a green Soiferman decided to tackle medical marijuana for his thesis film project in 1993. "Pressure Drop," which chronicled a Jewish grandfather's marijuana usage to treat his glaucoma, went on to achieve success on the international film festival circuit and opened the door to his career as a documentarian.
Since then, he's gone on to make films both on and off the topic of pot. Most recently, "Grass Fed" premiered on the CBC's Documentary Channel in 2015 and is available on iTunes. The film follows the journey of an overweight comic who goes on an all-marijuana edibles diet for four months and experiences life-changing results.
It was during production of "Grass Fed" that Soiferman first visited Tweed's Smiths Falls, Ontario headquarters to film a pivotal scene. It was then and there that the first seed for his innovative idea was planted.
"I had this brainwave and thought why don't any cannabis companies have an artist in residence? If any company should, it should be Tweed, so I created a pitch and shared it with them immediately," he said.
In recalling that first pitch meeting with Soiferman, Tweed president Mark Zekulin told The Cannabist that he was immediately open to the residency.
"Ezra actually brought the idea to us and we loved it," he said. "It made sense to have a program that increased the visibility of Ezra's art and in turn, the visibility of our young company. Something like this has never been done before and we like to look at ourselves as a company of firsts. We wanted to see what happened when we associated an artist to a cannabis company, but put no shackles on creativity. Ezra's art and reach have impressed us."
Watch: "Ez in Res"
Soiferman spent the last 12 months making regular road trips to Tweed Farms greenhouses and traveling to cannabis meccas like Colorado, Jamaica, Vermont, and California and many other cities across the United States and Canada — putting his collective sights, experiences, and conversations into art.
"From the photos on display in our lobby to the new connections we've made through Ezra and his seemingly never-ending network of friends, it's been a rewarding first residency. Whenever Ezra sends us new work, we're reminded of how important it is to support the arts community," Zekulin said.
Reflecting on the end of his run, Soiferman expressed a collaborative vision for the future.
"This is the first program of its kind and I take that very seriously," he said. Through my creation at this position, I hope to inspire other artists to jump on this bandwagon and pitch the companies they are passionate about. I don't want to be the only cannabis artist-in-residence — I want to be one of many."
Having documented the industry's growth over two-plus decades, Soiferman said he's excited to see that the current cannabis scene is "so fertile."

What's next? Soiferman shared with The Cannabist that he's "in talks with Tweed about extending the residency beyond its early July end date and discussing additional projects with the company as well."

Pitch Perfect: Mason Boys Rout Rival, Lead District
May 1, 2008 10:56 AM by Mike Hume
A 5-1 rout of rival Clarke<|fim_middle|> with a two-goal cushion.
A flourish by the Cougars in Mason's side of the field nearly put the score at 2-1 with two minutes remaining before halftime, however the Mustangs' senior Tim Brooks turned aside a ball that seemed bound for the back of the net, steering it aside until freshman keeper Tyler Back and the rest of the Mason defense could recover.
Senior Andres Ramos accounted for the match's final goal midway through a second half in which the Mustangs were similarly dominant.
Mason was without the services of senior Antonio Randrianasolo, who missed school on Tuesday. Iwanicki believed he would be back for Wednesday night's game against Robinson High School. Results of that match were not available at press time.
Heading into the game against the highly-regarded Robinson program, Mason's record stood at 7-2 overall, and 6-0 in the Bull Run District. Mason remains the only unbeaten team in the district, with every other team owning at least two losses thus far.
The Mustangs have not lost a game since dropping an 0-2 decision to AA powerhouse Potomac Falls on April 7.
Author: Mike Hume | County High School highlighted another undefeated week for the George Mason High School boys varsity soccer team. After downing the Eagles on Friday, the Mustangs carried off their sixth-straight district win with a 3-0 victory over Manassas Park on Tuesday.
Senior Tim Brooks scored his first goal of the season in the third minute of the match against Clarke last Friday and sophomore Andrew Arias scored the eventual match-winner 24 minutes later, as the Mustangs jumped on the Eagles from the outset. Sophomore Nick Smirniotopoulos struck again for Mason just prior to halftime and the Mustangs never looked back from there.
Junior Anthony Andrianarison and senior Matt Gresko each beat the Clarke keeper in the second half to comfortably coast to the win.
Senior Antonio Randrianasolo notched a pair of assists.
On Tuesday night, Mason dominated possession against Manassas Park, controlling the midfield. The upper hand led to a number of crossing attempts from the Mustangs that repeatedly seemed to just miss their intended targets. Several that did, were turned aside by the Manassas Park goaltender, who turned in a solid performance in the loss.
Sophomore Alex Casteuble put the Mustangs on the board around the 13-minute mark. It seemed the floodgates were destined to open shortly thereafter, but a volley by sophomore Teddy Rueckert couldn't quite sneak under the crossbar, ricocheting tantalizingly into the air until it was finally controlled by the Cougar keeper.
The Cougars buckled down after that, deflecting Mason's attacks to the corners and reducing the quality of their offensive chances.
The affair was markedly different from some of the past matchups between the two teams, usually lopsided affairs in Mason's favor. This time, Manassas refused to roll over and challenged the Mustangs ever step of the way.
"Their coaching is stable now and they've done a great job with their kids," Mason Head Coach Art Iwanicki said. "They're pretty organized [with their play] and they've put together a nice team."
Manassas kept Mason to a lone goal for 20 minutes, but couldn't consistently possess the ball. The Mustangs continued to administer pressure and finally the Cougar back line cracked, yielding a second goal with 7:36 remaining in the half. After winning the race to a lead pass in the left side of the goal box, Smirniotopoulos snuck it under the charging goalie to provide his team | 513 |
FYC #2: James Hindle's Worry Stories @ Pulse
For Your Consideration #2:
James Hindle's Lamplighter & Folded Paper Assembly #1
By Chris Beckett
The 411:
Lamplighter
Written/drawn by James Hindle
22pp., b/w
Hand-pulled screen printed cover
Folded Paper Assembly #1
Not available in stores, but you can purchase them online at Hindle's website
What It Is (with apologies to Dave the Thune):
James Hindle was exhibiting across the aisle from me at last year's Small Press Expo. A shy unassuming young man, he seemed content to allow people to discover his comics rather than pushing his books upon unsuspecting passersby. This was refreshing within the general clamor of the Expo, and despite not being the best way to get one's book into readers' hands it did not deter him from selling books. A lot of this can be attributed to the eye-catching covers Hindle produces for his minis, two-color screen printed illustrations incorporating simple images with vastly contrasting hues that make these covers pop. His books stand out against the rest of the crowd and are easily visible from across a room. This is one of the best ways to get readers to sample a book.
Of course, a good cover does not a worthwhile comic make, and Hindle realizes this as well. Upon reading Lamplighter and Folded Paper Assembly #1, it is obvious that he is creating very personal stories. They are "slice of life" stories told in an understated manner, unadorned by melodrama or exaggeration. Most comic book fans would dismiss them out of hand, longing for the heavy-handed plots and uber-physiques of the spandex set. Sadly for them, they miss the point that Hindle's stories carry more weight because of the truthfulness to be found within each narrative. These are tiny vignettes that come straight out of small town America, which any reader could easily recognize. The personal stamp that Hindle puts on these tales is not only a testament to an artist following his muse, but also allows for a wider audience than the typical superhero fare.
Lamplighter takes place on what appears to be a late summer evening. A group of friends – not far removed from high school if they are not still enrolled – are meeting at Abe's house for a party while his parents are out of town. All of these kids realize, though it may be subconsciously, that this is an important moment in their lives. They are standing on a precipice, looking forward to what awaits them beyond their little town while afraid to leave behind what comfort they've known all their lives. Whether it be Noah's self-induced sleep deprivation, Abe's drug-induced hallucinations, or Forest's insistence of maturity, each one of the friends seems to be searching for his/her identity in their own individual ways. The action, as it is, is relatively tame but wholly recognizable to any of Hindle's readers. It is this recognition of oneself within the pages of Lamplighter that can shed light on the answers we all seek while plodding through this life.
Folded Paper Assembly #1 collects three of Hindle's shorter works, which can also be found at his website. The three tales revolve around the common, though often unstated, insecurities and obsessions of everyday teenagers. A young man in "None of Them Knew They Were Actors" gets lost in a soap opera while trying to survive a sweltering August day. Anyone who has ever had an obsession with a band (for me it was Van Halen) will easily relate to the second story "You Can't Talk About This." Despite only being two pages, this is probably the strongest offering in the book, and Hindle conveys perfectly through his main character the feelings every teenager has experienced with their own favorite band. The final story, "Our Mercurial Pace," is the longest at thirteen pages and conveys the fragile nature of relationships during this pivotal stage in one's life. The insecurity. The peer pressure. The hormones. They all contribute to the highs and lows of high school life as readers are witness to a close friendship between a boy and girl turning sour after one foolish moment – a stolen kiss – from which the two seem unable to recover. With sharp, precise scenes, Hindle carries his audience through an entire school year in these thirteen pages, telling his tale poignantly without going over the top.
Hindle's art style fits these stories wonderfully. Not unlike his writing, Hindle's artwork is simple and self-effacing. He is able to compose a fully realized world within the small panels of his comics, utilizing well developed backgrounds without cluttering up the panel or losing the focus of the story. And yet, he also employs some very complex narrative devices within his artwork. Most notably he utilizes a technique I first encountered reading Watchmen, where a static background spreads over multiple panels<|fim_middle|> think you sometimes need a less literal way of presenting it.
CB: What is your process when developing one of your books? Does the story or the imagery come first, or does it differ between projects?
JH: It's always an idea first. I think of something small and then a narrative will develop around that.
CB: What other projects are you working on now, and where and when can people find these and other projects of yours?
JH: I'm planning on making more comics. People can find them at http://www.worrystories.com/.

When the column moved to the Pulse | while the characters move about the area within each of the panels. One instance where Hindle uses this technique is on the rooftop where the party is being held in Lamplighter. Forest seeks out Abe, who is alone on the roof, to find out why he isn't hanging out at his own party. The roof spreads across the top 2/3 of the page and is cut into four panels within which readers see Forest's feet or Abe's head coming in off a panel as they move around while talking. It is a beautiful illustration of what makes comics unique, and it is also an interesting storytelling device that should be used more often, but seems to be missing from most creators' toolboxes.
It is this combination of the simple and complex in his storytelling abilities that makes James Hindle a creator to watch. Blend this ability with stories that touch the emotional heart of what makes us human and are easily accessible to readers, and I am hopeful that Hindle will continue to work – creating and publishing comics that strike a chord with those who enjoy good stories.
An Interview with James Hindle:
Chris Beckett: Why comics? What is it about the medium that makes you want to create comics?
James Hindle: I think I chose comics because it is a very personal way of creating a visual narrative. It also feels really simple and really complicated at the same time. I've always liked that.
CB: Your 2-color covers are very eye-catching and I was curious as to whether they come from an artistic instinct on your part or if they are a result of any art instruction you may have had, and what is the thought process like behind your covers?
JH: The two color covers are really the result of the screen printing medium. Since each color is another screen you have to pull, it makes sense to keep it simple. And then the challenge is just to design within this two color limit (actually, three colors, including the paper).
CB: The layout of your comics is based, for the most part, on the 9-panel grid within which you expand or contract panels for pacing and storytelling reasons. Is this a conscious decision on your part and what are the benefits and drawbacks of the 9-grid in your experience?
JH: It's a conscious decision for the most part. When I'm thinking about the layout of a page I'm thinking mostly about the composition and the amount of time that is existing on the page. The 9 panel layout is a sort of controlled environment for that.
CB: Unlike most comic artists, you utilize some of the strengths uniquely inherent to the comic page which make for some very interesting storytelling choices in your works (I am thinking specifically of pages 10 and 12 of LAMP LIGHTER) that allow you to play with "time" in the comic panel. What is the genesis of this specific technique, and could you speak to any other qualities unique to the comic medium?
JH: Those two pages are really just examples of different ways to show a lot of time and movement in a small amount of space. Since showing time in comics is an abstract thing, I | 635 |
Trillium Power Wind Corp. in talks with Danish wind turbine maker Vestas over possible deal
Canadian offshore wind developer Trillium Power has selected Vestas to provide the 740 wind turbines it expects to use in four offshore wind power projects.
Combined, Trillium Power's four projects, Trillium Power Wind 1, Trillium Power Wind 2, The Great Lakes Array and The Superior Array, total approximately 3,700 MW. Developing these projects will require private-sector investment of $14.8 billion over a 10-to 12-year period.
The Ontario government is in talks with a wind turbine maker about possibly setting up shop in the province. While there's no deal with Denmark-based Vestas yet, Premier Dalton McGuinty said Tuesday that there's "a conversation that's ongoing" about a possible venture.
Energy Minister Brad Duguid said there was no imminent deal, noting Vestas is looking at offshore wind energy generation, something that would involve a longer-term investment period.
"They're having a look, but the fact that they're creating partnerships and taking a look at the opportunities that exist in Ontario is good news," he said.
Duguid said the province had been advised of a partnership between Vestas and Trillium Power, announced Tuesday, but haven't been told about any other possible plans.

In January, the province announced a $7-billion deal with Korea's Samsung to build wind farms and solar plants that will generate 2,500 megawatts of power, as well as four plants to manufacture components for green energy projects.
It's a move critics said gave Samsung big advantages over Canadian-based wind energy and solar producers, as well as incentives that they said amount to a huge taxpayer subsidy of a foreign multinational.

The Barangay Ginebra San Miguel is scheduled for a head-to-head quarterfinals<|fim_middle|>. | Game 2 against the Meralco Bolts at 4:30 P.M. on July 11, 2018 live from the Smart Araneta Coliseum.
The Gin Kings are looking to close their quarterfinals match and move to the semis while the Bolts wanted to push the series to a do-or-die game this coming Friday.
It was an exciting and full of defensive stops when these two teams clashed during their Game 1 match. Eleven deadlocks and nine lead changes that's how Ginebra went went through in order to secure their first victory in their quarterfinals best-of-three series.
Justin Bronwlee as usual brings his A-game as he dropped 25 points on 10-of-26 shooting from the field. However, Ginebra coach Tim Cone sees it that his dependable import was having an off-night performance.
"Justin (Brownlee) was a little rusty today and give Meralco the credit. He put up numbers but he's a volume shooter tonight," Cone also said.
For the Meralco Bolts, Arinze Onuaku was locked down as he was only limited to 12 points behind the defense of Joe Devance, Greg Slaughter and Japeth Aguilar. Despite of that, Onuaku still consistent in his rebounding contribution as he logged 18 boards.
Coach Tim Cone is expected that the Bolts foreign hire will go out more aggressive today in Game 2 inorder to even the series to 1-1.
"I expect to see lot more of Arinze in Game Two. He'll be a bigger presence in the next game," said Cone | 344 |
TuVisión was an American Spanish language broadcasting network, which is owned by Pappas Telecasting. TuVisión is a portmanteau of tu (your) and televisión.

TuVisión began operations on July 1, 2007, after Pappas dropped the Azteca America network from the Spanish-language stations that Pappas owned.

The Basics of Crazy Goose
The theme of Crazy Goose, if you can't deduce from the slot's name is a barnyard scene. The main character, a goose with eyes that twirl every which way, is the star of the show, while symbols of chicken, sheep, cows, dogs, and pigs also appear on the reels as high-value symbols. The slot has a lot of variations in betting options — between .01 coin per spin and 100 coins per spin — as well as in paylines: players can set the number of active paylines at any quantity, between 1 and 100(!).
As far as the number of rows and reels, this is another area in which Crazy Goose differentiates itself from other slots. It's a 5-reel slot, with a twist: the three reels to the right have 5 rows, while the 2 to the left have 3. This makes sense once you discover how this feature affects the game mechanics, and hereafter, we'll refer to the 5-row side as the "right side" and the other as the "left side".
The symbols present in the game are the aforementioned barnyard animals, with the standard 9, 10, J, Q, K, A playing card values. Auto-play is optional for a maximum of 25 spins if you don't feel like actively involving yourself in each spin.
Crazy Goose Gameplay
The game mechanics of Crazy Goose pokie allow plenty of opportunities to win on any single spin, especially when you see the number of paylines to the maximum, 100. Here's a breakdown of how to play, how to win, and which symbols result in which outcomes:
When the reels stop spinning, Crazy Goose slot game follows the same play style as every other slot. Symbols fill the reels, and if the same symbol ends up on a given payline 3, 4, or 5 times, the player wins an amount of money based on their bet and the number of paylines in play.
The general values of the different symbols in the game are as follows: the animal symbols are worth more than the cards, with card faces following standard value rules (ace high).
There are several bonuses available when you play Crazy Goose: first, there are the wild and scatter symbols. 'Wild" symbols are icons that say "Crazy Goose" on them. These can act as any symbol on the board, adding to the probability of a winning spin. The only symbol they can't substitute is the scatter symbol, a nest filled with golden goose eggs, presumably the eggs of the titular character. If three of these appear anywhere on the screen at once, the player wins 9 free spins.
There is also the "Crazy Goose" symbol, which when on-screen, turns the entire right side of the game into wild symbols and adds a multiplier to the players winnings, increasing both the probability and the amount of a winning spin when it appears. This symbol is not as rare as you might think, so you'll be winning more than you expect when it's all said and done.
Crazy Goose, from Ainsworth Gaming, not only gives players a twist in the traditional online slot set-up, it's easy to win and entertaining to play. If you find yourself in a casino that offers this slot | 794 |
For the past week I've gone market shopping, both at the Sunday Tlacolula market and at the smaller, though equally satisfying Teotitlan del Valle market where I live. It's easier now that I have LaTuga — a market trip can be spontaneous.
As the invitation list for my New Year's Eve house warming birthday party dessert open house grew to over thirty, I realized I might not have enough pastries and wine. So, I made multiple trips to Amado's tienda to stock up on red wine and mezcal.
At the market I bought flowers, queso fresco, sweet bread, goat cheese, and the ingredients to make tomato ginger chutney. I usually do this in the North Carolina summer when there is a two week window for ripe tomatoes. Here in Oaxaca, they are ripe year round. The chutney is great warmed and poured on top of the goat cheese, then spread on bread slices.
I made the fruit salad recipe I shared with you last week, but added mandarin oranges and poached, spiced crab apples. Eloisa baked me three giant Chocoflan cakes, and on impulse I bought a big homemade, layered jello extravaganza at the village market. It was a dessert buffet.
Yesterday morning, I decided on the spur of the moment to make a New York style cheesecake when I saw Amado had two pounds of Philadelphia cream cheese in his case along with Alpura brand sour cream and a tube of Maria's cookies. My friend Ani gave me a gift of butter earlier<|fim_middle|> Our village is party central. On December 30, I was at Janet and Jan's home for her birthday celebration. The flowers were abundant and the food delicious.
I was too busy greeting, serving and schmoozing to take photos of my birthday accoutrements and friends. The cheesecake disappeared before I could stage a photo shoot. Maybe those who did take photos will share them! After everyone left, the rockets, firecrackers and band played on into the night to welcome the procession of the baby Jesus to Las Cuevitas. Even my ear plugs didn't help. We will join that celebration later today.
Meanwhile, I am wishing you a very satisfying, joyous, content, and healthful new year. May peace and fulfillment be yours for 2014.
In a food processor, add the cookies and sweet roll, process until fine crumbs. Add sugar. Pulse until completely mixed. Add melted butter. Combine until butter is mixed throughout. Pour out into a parchment paper lined 8-10″ springform pan. Press crumbs firmly on bottom and up sides of pan about 1/4-1/2 inch. Set aside.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In large mixing bowl with electric beaters on high speed, blend the cheeses until smooth and creamy. Add the sugar and mix until white and smooth. Add eggs one at a time until completely mixed. Add lemon. Beat for about 30 seconds. Add sour cream and blend in on low speed until just stirred in. Stir in lemon zest.
Pour into a buttered springform pan (line with parchment to make clean-up easier). Put into preheated 350 degree oven. Bake for 45-60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean from the center. Turn oven off. Leave cake in oven to cool for 30 minutes or more before removing.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Stir all ingredients together. Pour over top of cooled cheesecake and spread evenly over top with spoon or spatula. Put into hot oven. Bake for 5-7 minutes. Watch that topping does not brown or burn. Remove and cool.
In a stainless steel pan, mix together the berries, sugar and liqueur. Cook over high heat for 2 minutes until berries are mascerated, juice begins to form and the sugar is melted. Remove and cool for about 2 minutes. Pour over the sour cream topping of the cheesecake.
If you cut a circle in the center and then make the slices from this circle, the cake will yield 16-20 servings. The remaining center circle can then be cut in 4-6 wedges.
And another sunset from the terraza to celebrate life's infinite beauty.
Oaxaca chocolate is spicy and incredible. In addition to chocolate, cinnamon, vanilla and ground almonds, it can contain a hint of hot peppers. I bought some recently at the Benito Juarez Market in the city from two little ladies who make it out of their Tlacolula de Matamoros kitchen. My intention was to bring it home and use it in my morning beverage we call "choco-cafe," a mix of good strong coffee and Oaxaca chocolate that my husband Stephen and I love.
Today, I picked up my adult son at the airport for Thanksgiving. (He came in from L.A.) Mom, he said, will you bake a chocolate cheesecake for Thanksgiving? I had bought ingredients for a NY cheesecake, but with a swift adaptation of a trusted recipe that I used to make and sell from my gourmet cookware shop, cooking school, and catering business (some years ago), and that Oaxaca chocolate, I produced what he asked for. Something familiar from childhood that he adored. It's in the oven now. You still have time to make your Thanksgiving Oaxaca Chocolate Cheesecake! Go for it.
In food processor, process graham crackers until they are a fine crumb. Add sugar and combine. Add melted butter. Combine. Pour into buttered springform pan. With fingers, press firmly on base and up sides to form a crust. Set aside.
With mixer, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until soft. With mixer going, add eggs one at a time. Add vanilla. Mix. Add sour cream and briefly mix until blended in. Pour half the plain vanilla mixture into a second bowl.
Melt all the chocolates. I do this in a microwave oven on 30% power for about 3-5 minutes, checking to make sure that the chocolate doesn't overheat. Pour the melted chocolate into the remaining white cheesecake mixture and blend with mixer until the cheesecake is completely chocolate.
Pour the white mixture into the springform pan first. Gently pour the chocolate mixture on top of the white mixture. Use a spoon to create swirls.
In a preheated 350 degree oven, bake for one hour or until the center is dry and firm. Turn the oven off. Leave the cheesecake in the oven to settle and avoid cracking. Cover and refrigerate. You can make this up to three days in advance.
As soon as I remove this from the pan tomorrow, I'll take a photo and post it before we eat it! | , and I picked up a few extra eggs. Instead of liquid vanilla, I used fresh squeezed lemon juice (called lima here) and zest. I augmented the cream cheese with mashed and pureed queso fresco. When it didn't look like I would have enough cookie crumbs for the crust, I added some of the sweet bread to the Maria crumbs. Adaptation is an important element for living in Mexico.
Lupe came to help me get the house ready and we prepared the cheesecake together. Her son Daniel hung the papel picado flags and the piñata filled with candies for the children to dismantle with a stick at the end of the party. | 134 |

So fresh and yummy. It's the perfect soup for the end of summer. May you enjoy this recipe as much as we do. It's one of my Mom's favorites. Bon Appetit!

Josh is the older of the two GGEZReviews bros. He owns more PC games than can fit on his hard-drive and hopes to be sent a game (to review) for free someday. | this post on Thursday. Otherworld was first announced three years ago, and since then Re-Logic has repeated that their focus "has and always will be on delivering complete and quality game experiences to our fanbase." While progress had been made, Re-Logic has determined that the game is "quite a bit further away from the finish line than we had imagined." At this point, it would take too much work and time to complete the game.
In their announcement Re-Logic stated, "quality is simply not something we are willing to compromise on to make a quick buck. It may be painful in the short term, but our sincere hope is that it will pay off for everyone in the long term in regard to our future games." The news is disappointing, but you can't help admiring their commitment to quality. It could not have been an easy call to make. They could have easily released the game as another of the many Early Access titles on Steam. But they aren't willing to sacrifice quality for profit – a rare and respectable quality.
So what does this mean now?
Well for one, this means that Re-Logic can focus on its other projects including their active development of Terraria 1.3.6. Also, we probably won't hear about any of Re-Logic's new games until they're closer to being finished. Another takeaway is that Re-Logic will use all of the best design, code, art, sounds, features, and ideas from the game. The announcement stated that "these are ideas that we have not and will not forget and that you will very likely see implemented in our future titles."

Walter Robb was Whole Foods' co-CEO. He thinks the Amazon deal was right.
Sebastian Herrera @SebasAHerrera
Jan 25, 2018 at 12:01 AM Sep 24, 2018 at 10:19 AM
Walter Robb says it's clear Amazon was the best option for Whole Foods Market's future.
The former Whole Foods co-CEO, now an investor in other food companies, said leaders at the grocer made the best possible decision in selling the company to the online retailer at a time when investors were calling for change. Amazon completed its $13.7<|fim_middle|> changed some of its processes with suppliers. But much has also remained the same.
As both the partnership and overall grocery industry continue to mature, Robb said organic and natural food companies like Whole Foods shouldn't forget their roots.
Natural food sellers should "continue to be true to the idea that quality of food matters," Robb said. "But they also need to change in the new ways customers are shopping; in the way they now want for food to be delivered. So it's about having your feet firmly planted in your values but also evolving to serve customers.
"The real question is: Where is this all going? I have every confidence in the Whole Foods team to do a stellar job."' | billion acquisition of Whole Foods in August.
During an interview with the American-Statesman, Robb spoke about his post-Whole Foods life, his belief in Whole Foods' future and his pride in helping develop the company into an international brand.
"I spent my whole life and career trying to work to build a sustainable food system and a responsible company," said Robb, 64. "I'm extremely proud of the whole Whole Foods team and .... what we accomplished."
Robb left the co-CEO role at the end of 2016, with Whole Foods co-founder John Mackey assuming a solo chief executive role. Whole Foods was going through a number of struggles at the time, and major shareholders were calling for change.
After rising to Fortune 500 level from its start with a single Austin store in 1978, Whole Foods watched as competitors ate away at its market share, and the grocer, while having revolutionized organic eating, struggled to shed its pricey image. Last April, Jana Partners, then a major Whole Foods stakeholder, pressured the company to make significant changes.
Whole Foods and Amazon announced their deal on June 16, and Robb remained on the company's board until it was dissolved upon the close of the sale on Aug. 28.
Robb first joined Whole Foods in 1991 and began managing a store in Mill Valley, Calif.
In 1993, he was promoted to president of Whole Foods' northern pacific region, which expanded from two to 17 stores under his watch before Robb started working as the company's vice president of operations in 2000. Robb then became chief operating officer in 2001, co-president in 2004 and co-CEO in 2010.
After 26 years at Whole Foods, Robb officially said goodbye to the company and its leadership team during a dinner on Oct. 11 at Jeffrey's restaurant in Austin.
"If you think about your own life, a company's life is no different -- it does not go in a straight line," Robb said. "But if you take a long perspective to where we started, it's pretty amazing what happened.
"I believe legacy is best left for others to say."
Robb has continued his interest in the food industry since leaving Whole Foods. He is an investor and board member at multiple companies, including FoodMaven, which sells over-supplied products from stores to restaurants and institutional kitchens, and HeatGenie, a maker of self-heating drink containers.
He is also still the board chairman of the Whole Kids and Whole Cities foundations, two nonprofits established by Whole Foods.
Robb would not discuss details of Whole Foods' buyout, or how he believed the grocer would operate under the rule of the online retailer, but he said he felt pride in what Whole Foods built prior to Amazon.
"We made a significant contribution of the evolution of food in this country and a significant contribution to be able to get to a place where people are talking about the quality of food that they are eating," Robb said. "The decision was to support this partnership with Amazon as the best way to move that mission forward in the world. I'm hopeful that the things Whole Foods stands for will continue for many years."
In the five months since Amazon acquired Whole Foods, some prices have been lowered at the grocer and both entities have been integrated a bit through Amazon's websites. Whole Foods has also reportedly | 718 |
Way back in the early days people living in south Georgia had no markets near and so the people would gather their little plunder together, go in carts to Centerville on the St. Maria river, in Camden county, Ga.
Early settlers of Ray City, Berrien County and the surrounding area traveled about 95 miles to trade at Centerville, also known as Center Village or Centreville, in present day Charlton County, GA.
1864 map detail showing locations of General Levi J. Knight's residence (Ray City), Nashville, Troupville and Center Village (Centerville), with route from Berrien County to Centerville highlighted.
Centerville truly was at the center of an important crossroads of commerce for Wiregrass Georgia. Located on the St. Mary's River about two miles east of Folkston, GA, Centerville was situated with convenient river access to the harbor at St. Mary's and the Atlantic trade, the Kings Road, and also the Alachua Trail, an ancient and important commerce route from the Altamaha River, in Georgia, down into East Florida.
Center Village, a town downriver from Trader's Hill and established in 1800, was a border town devoted to defense and trade. Camp Pinckney housed border soldiers, and a ferry provided service across the St. Marys between Georgia and Florida and merchants. Tradesmen and other Crackers bartered, bought, and sold their wares on the town streets, settled disputes in public "fist and skull" fights, and wagered on horse racing.

It was fairly isolated initially, depending on mail service from the distribution station at Camp Pinckney, but gained population and prominence as Ware County's seat during the antebellum period. All four of these towns faded away as the larger cities of Folkston (Charlton County) and Waycross (Ware County) became rail-road junctions in the postbellum era. But in the years before 1860, they were thriving trading centers and sites of sociability for the area's white residents.
Two miles Northeast of here is the site of old Center Village, or Centerville, settled about 1800 and for many years an important trading center. To this village came the inhabitants of Ware, Pierce, Clinch, Coffee and Appling Counties, bring staple cotton, beeswax, honey, jerked venison, hides, furs, etc., to exchange for flour, sugar, coffee, shot, powder and other commodities they did not produce. Here, too, disputes were settled and sports enjoyed. A regular stop for stage coaches traveling the King`s Road, old Center Village went out of existence after the coming of the railroad.
A 1976 article, CENTER VILLAGE, GHOST OF THE PAST, by Carolyn DeLoach, Charlton County Herald, provides further reading.
In 1836, a band of Indians raided the homestead of William Parker, pioneer settler of Berrien County. Since the spring of that year, pioneers all across Wiregrass Georgia had been facing increasing hostilities from the Native Americans who were being forced out of their ancestral lands.
A previous post recounted a story by Martha Guthrie, and the role of her family in the last Indian encounters in Berrien County (see Martha Guthrie: Babe of the Indian Wars). Her parents, Dred Newbern and Bettsy Sirmons, were the nearest neighbors of William Parker. The Newbern's homestead was located on the east bank of Five Mile Creek, perhaps about eight miles northeast of Ray City. This was probably somewhere in the present day vicinity of the Highway 168 bridge over Five Mile Creek. The Parker place was located a few miles further to the east, at the Alapaha River.
About the year 1836 William Parker, (Short-Arm Bill) as he was called, and the father of C.G.W. Parker, and later a well-known doctor, was living in Berrien county on the old Patterson place.
One winter day when Mr. Parker was away from home, several Indians appeared at the foot of the hill, at a spring, where the family got water. It is said that the Indians began to beat on logs, thereby attracting the attention of the people. It appears that the Indians meant to rob and not to murder, but as there were no men at home the women ran through the field , a back way, a distance of five miles to the home of Dread Newborn. The Indians robbed the house, broke open a trunk and got $300 in cash, cut the feather beds open, emptied the feathers out and took the ticks with them. A company of men soon collected together, under the command of George Peterson, Dread Newborn, William Parker, and others. The Indians were overtaken at the Allapaha river and three were killed, others made their escape but were overtaken at the St. Illa river, at what is now known as Indian Lake, about two miles northeast of the town of Axson, Ga. They were all shot and killed, except one squaw; it was reported that she was captured and shot. Dread Newborn, the son of Dread Newborn, who followed the Indians, informs me that the Indian woman was kept in prison for a while and then by direction of the government was returned to her own people. About this time a whole family by the name of Wilds was killed by the Indians, | 820 |

Eurovision 2019: A look at the leading contenders
With just over a month to go until the 64th edition of the Eurovision Song Contest, every participant will be tweaking and finalising their performance ahead of the event in Tel Aviv. So far, there are 26 nations set to perform in the finals in Israel and the betting markets are shaping up nicely.
Unsurprisingly, the United Kingdom don't sit too favourably with the bookies and are currently in the lower reaches of the pecking order. Michael Rice will be representing the UK with the song Bigger than Us, which was voted for by the general public in February. But how do the main market leaders shape up? We take a look at the five countries who are currently leading the way, but before we do, don't forget to check out all of the Eurovision 2019 odds<|fim_middle|>vision title, and will be represented by Duncan Laurence. The singer rose to prominence after appearing in the fifth series of The Voice of Holland. At the time of writing, Laurence's song hasn't yet been decided but they are the early favourites, and they will be keen to deliver.
The Russians have been backed strongly to claim their second Eurovision, and their price of 5/1 reflects good value for money. Sergey Lazarev, who came third while representing them in the 2016 competition, will again be their chosen act. The former Smash!! singer will be keen to take the full honours this time around. So far, Lazarev doesn't have a song confirmed but irrespective of that, the Russians will be a strong contender in Tel Aviv.
As expected, the Swedes are one of the bookies' favourites to taste success in Israel and they are certainly well decorated in Eurovision. If successful, it'll be Sweden's seventh victory, and they'll be pinning their hopes on John Lundvik, who's singing Too Late for Love. The 8/1 price provides plenty of potential for punters who are still somewhat undecided where to wager their money. Random trivia, Lundvik also helped pen the UK's entry, so it'll be intriguing to see which song does best!
Similar to Sweden, the Swiss have a strong history in the competition and although they've only won it twice, they were the first ever winners in 1956. Their second win was some 31-years-ago now, when a certain Celine Dion represented the central European nation and her career boomed after the Eurovision. This year, Switzerland will be represented by Luca Hanni, who'll be singing She Got Me. As it stands, you can back Switzerland at 10/1 which is a good price that'll provide punters with plenty of food for thought.
The Italians will be making their 45th appearance at the Eurovision in Tel Aviv and like Switzerland, have two wins to their name. Italy were actually absent from the competition between 1998 and 2010 but since their return, they have finished second in 2011 and fifth last year with 308 points. 2019 offers a lot of potential for Italy's entrant Mahmood, who'll be singing Soldi and can be backed at 16/1.

Sacred values are things that communities set apart from the economic or profane aspects of everyday life. | 010, Scott testified before the U.S. Senate Armed Services Subcommittee on Emerging Threats and Capabilities, advocating a field-based social understanding of terrorists' motivation, as an alternative approach to conflict resolution.
Scott gave an overview of sacred values and cultural conflict, based on his research conducted in the West Bank, Iran, Indonesia, and India. When people transform a resource, idea, or activity into a sacred value, normal approaches to dispute resolution may fail. Offering material incentives to encourage people to compromise over a sacred value will often "backfire" leading to heightened opposition to such compromise. In contrast, culturally sensitive attempts to offer powerful symbolic gestures—such as a painful apology or sacrifice over one's own sacred values—often increase flexibility towards compromise.
Many of our most important decisions and most significant conflicts are driven by culturally bound "sacred values." The act of classifying the world into the "sacred" and the "profane" appears to be a near human universal — it exists in the most economically and scientifically sophisticated societies, and in isolated societies of hunter gatherers. It occurs when people believe that a thing (such as a piece of land), or an idea (such as a national right) is not an ordinary preference that can be valued along a metric common with economic goods.
Rather, sacred values are treated as moral imperatives that have their own intrinsic value that makes them non-comparable to, and non-fungible with, ordinary or profane values, | 300 |
Banjovi Revival was formed by Joyce Wooster over 2<|fim_middle|> brilliant catch-phrase "He was only a singer with The Dregs but what he sediment". I'm afraid that is typical of the type of humour in some of the songs I do. I am very partial to 60's and 70's pop songs and they form a good part of my repertoire.
Jenny has been playing the Banjo since she was 12 years old. Previous to this she played the Violin and Guitar. Jenny had the same banjo teacher, Percy Wooton as Joyce and Pauline and is very privileged to have inherited Percy's Banjo. She joined Banjovi in her mid twenties and continues to enjoy playing with the band mostly playing at weekends and evenings performances.

Joyce studied plectrum banjo under the direction of Percy Wooton. She also plays tenor banjo, violin and mandolin. She has previously been a member of the Adelaide Banjo Band, Watford Plectra Orchestra and the London Mandolin Ensemble and is currently playing with several other bands.
She formed Banjovi Revival in the early nineties under the original name of 'Safety in Numbers' and the band have since progressed to playing in hundreds of different venues. Music has played a very large enjoyable part in her life.
My interest in banjos has been with me all my life. My father always played a banjo on high days and holidays and even as a young child I decided that when the time was right I would play one too. Although I dabbled around with Dad's instrument unfortunately I did not really have the chance to play properly until quite late in life, i.e. in my 50s. I bought a tenor banjo and met Jim Cox who was a brilliant player of all string instruments and he talked me into having a plectrum banjo instead and I now have a Silver Bell which is brilliant.
Shortly afterwards I was introduced to Percy Wootton who originally lived in Bucks and then moved north and I did travel there for a couple of lessons. We kept in touch and one day I had a letter from him saying that he was coming to the area and all his pupils were meeting in a pub in West Wycombe and it was there I met Joyce and subsequently had a few lessons. Eventually Joyce formed her own band called Banjovi Revival and I have been in it ever since. Banjovi Revival have raised thousands of pounds for various charities. We have had some great times and now I am semi-retired at 82 but I still play when I can.
Maggie joined the band in 1996 after she retired from nursing and has been using her share of the donations to support the Princes Centre in Princes Risborough.

The first week after bariatric surgery is crucial, and many patients wonder what they'll be eating after their surgery. Let's look at this issue in a bit of detail.
One of the most important things about your life after bariatric surgery is the adjustment process. This essentially means that you are getting used to your new lifestyle. That means a new diet, a new way of eating, and a new you.
After your surgery, you will need to be careful about what you ingest so you give your body time to heal and to get used to the changes that have occurred.
During the first week after bariatric surgery, patients will be on an all-liquid diet, more specifically, all clear liquids only. Your stomach will not have to do much work to deal with clear liquids, and it will help you ease back into thicker liquids and soft foods, eventually transitioning back to solids by the end of a month.
When having these liquids, be sure to drink slowly and to not rush yourself or push yourself when it comes to eating.
Even though you will be moving on to soft foods over the course of the next few weeks, it's important that patients take their recovery at their own pace. They shouldn't push themselves to eat solid foods before they're ready. Instead they should take all of this slowly, and ensure that they experience no pain or discomfort as they are healing after their surgery.
Using this transition period in the weeks after surgery, you can become better attuned to your body and its needs. This means seeing how much you ingest with your altered digestive tract, what ideal times are to have liquids, and so forth. Take this time to get in touch with your body and its needs.
By week two, patients will start incorporating protein into their diets through powders, creamy soups, or yogurt. This continues to week three, where very soft foods (e.g., noodles in soup) may be integrated into the diet. By the end of a month, it's back to solids, though many patients will want to continue to take time getting back to solid food. Being cautious and conservative can help out a great deal in these early stages of bariatric surgery recovery.

Remember how I took a road trip alone with my kids last month? Remember how I told you all about our first big stop in Memphis? Well, Nashville is just 3 hours away, and I was SOO excited to see that city!
Before we entered the actual city, I got to visit with a friend from high school.
As I posted that first day in Memphis on Instagram, I got a comment from the sister of a good friend in high school. She mentioned that her sis, Tamera, lived in Nashville! I didn't realize that, and with just an hour before our arrival into the city, I got in touch with her, and she was free to meet us for dinner! We ate at the Loveless Cafe, which I'd heard was a MUST DO. It was outside of the city, and near my friends home, so it was perfect. I had biscuits with sausage gravy and it was delicious. I heard lots of celebrities stop in there, but not while I was there. Bummer.
It was fun to catch up with Tamera, she is a vocalist for some country music artists, she always has<|fim_middle|>.
We actually stopped into Knoxville, just to see what the downtown looked like. We needed a bathroom break, and I looked on my Road Trippers Ap to see what was cool there, and saw this giant gold ball in a park, and thought that was perfect. This is something we would have never done so impulsively on a rushed drive with my husband. I had to fight my inner hurried self to just stop and see the sights a little.
After Knoxville, we were just an hour from my brother's house, almost to our destination!! | had an amazing voice. I was delighted to stop in at her home and meet her kids and husband before we jetted off to the city to stay for the night.
I paid probably more than I should have for a hotel room right downtown. I wanted to just walk to the main thoroughfare in the morning, and it was perfect for that. We got there in plenty of time for the kids to have a night swim in the pool, and we discovered CHOPPED on the food network. We don't have cable at home, and it was the only thing kid-worthy at night. I pumped out a post or two on my laptop while we all vegged til midnight when we hit the lights. I had to make sure to set my alarm to 9:30am so we could all get our free breakfast before it closed! Oh the life…on vacation…with kids that sleep in. Awesome-ness.
Since it was just a few days before the 4th of July, parts of downtown were closed off as they prepped for a concert in the park. I was quite sad I didn't hear back from The Bobby Bones Show to sit in on their broadcast. They are my fave–all the way from Austin. Check out their podcasts on I heart radio for some laughs.
I shared this ice cream picture on Instagram. Stopping off at this ice cream shop is not something we normally do. We don't "go out" much at home, but I wanted this trip to be special in small ways like this, so a random stop here, brought cheers and lots of extra gushy gratitude from the kids.
I was excited that we were right across the street from The Country Music Hall of Fame, so I took the kids on a little tour to teach them all about Country Music. Since I had been infiltrating their brains to my high school love of Country, they were slightly familiar with the artists. I loved looking around at the costumes, and learning a bit more of the history.
I then went OUT OF THE WAY to stop by the Mormon Temple in a suburb of Nashville, snapped a shot, then we headed out…just a few hours away from my brothers home | 446 |

"Supported by the group executive board, he has reshaped and developed the business in a very significant way. He has also provided decisive and inspiring leadership for our people through the extreme challenges of the pandemic," he added.
Samworth also revealed that discussions with Mahoney had left the board "impressed by his commitment to move businesses forward through his engagement with colleagues and customers, his passion for business to be a positive contributor to society, and the breadth of his thinking about the future".
"I am delighted that Hugo has agreed to join our business," Samworth said. "He has an impressive track record of leading and growing businesses in a variety of sectors. In his current role at Brakes, he has successfully led the organisation through a significant period of transformation and development."

Broadridge and The Standard Offer Mutual Fund Partners Visibility into Asset Distribution on Retirement Plan Platforms
New technology portal offers unprecedented access to asset, trading and sales information at a plan level
posted January 8 2014
LAKE SUCCESS, N.Y., Jan. 8, 2014 – Broadridge Financial Solutions (NYSE:BR) today announced that The Standard has selected Access Data, a Broadridge company, to provide DCIO Reporting to fund partners offering products on The Standard's retirement recordkeeping platform.

Today,<|fim_middle|> I had a meltdown with my husband and our best friend when they forgot something that is important to me. I cried alone in my garden and cursed myself for the way my mind is wired - that these things hit me so hard. I said to the flowers I was cutting, "Why can't my autism be a gift, like others say theirs is?" Just then a hummingbird flew out of the blueberry bush and hovered over the bouquet in my hand for a full minute. It calmed my mind and MMT. | I attended my friend's wedding a few months after my husband passed away. Watching her father/daughter dance brought me to tears thinking about how my daughter will never get that chance. My husband's best friend came up to me and said she may not have her daddy, but she will have a line of 'uncles' waiting for their first dance with her. I hope so. His comment MMT.
Today, I said goodbye to my brother for what could be the last time as he left for his second deployment overseas. Being an Army Sister is the hardest job I've had in my entire life and it's nothing compared to what he faces on a daily basis. My brother's strength and pride of service will always MMT.
Today, my friend got married. She lost her mom to cancer a year and a half ago. When her father walked her down, everyone was in tears. My father left when I was a teenager, and my mom raised my siblings and me on her own. In that moment today, I could relate to the sadness of losing a parent. But no matter how sad losing a parent is, it doesn't compare to the gratitude for the one that's still around to share life's most memorable moments with. The strength of her dad and my mom MMT.
Today my autism was both burden and gift. | 270 |
Q: SQL Server: efficient way to combine two columns to distinct values? This is a performance question where I want to combine two columns from two separate tables. How can you do the combination?
I understand this as or condition such that

SELECT Contract1
FROM Table1
INSERT @Result
SELECT Contract2
FROM Table2
SELECT *
FROM @Result
but you can find a more detailed explaination at the link above
| SELECT a.contract1 or b.contract2 from TABLE1 a, TABLE2 b
where my goal is to get a single column where each element is either in Contract1 of Table1 or Contract2 of Table2. The or notation does not differentiate between distinct values and other values. I need distinct values. The proposed solution, the union method, acts slow with large datasets over many GBs because of the underlying distinct.
Please propose efficient methods to deal with the performance.

A: That's what UNION does
SELECT contract1 FROM TABLE1
UNION
SELECT contract2 FROM TABLE2
Edit
The performance problem you're talking about in your comment is probably caused by the nature of UNION itself; what happens behind the scenes is that the dbms executes both the statements separately then applies a distinct on the resulting set. On large tables this latter step may cause problems with the overall performances, and you can confirm that by switching to UNION ALL (which won't perform the distinct).
If you cannot settle for UNION ALL, because you don't want duplicates, I found this interesting article that proposes a solution for this kind of issues. It involves the usage of a table variable, that you populate with your two statements and from where you select to get the final result.
Essentially the steps are

Building on the brand equity and pride around the Wayne State W, this logo presents an elevated option. Housed in a shield, the W reinforces the strength and determination of a Wayne State Warrior. Readability is improved by pulling the name of the institution out of the center of the logo. The type used for the Wayne State University artwork comes from an updated version of the institution's wordmark, giving a nod to our traditions while providing a more contemporary alternative. The new graphic works well in small and large formats. This mark or one of its variations should be the first consideration when a Wayne State logo is used for external audiences.

The structure and content of the permanent exhibition of Siida has been integrated into the space provided by the building. The fact that the permanent exhibition and the new building were designed at the same time made this possible. The permanent exhibition consists of an introductory and a main exhibition. Both exhibitions have been produced together by the Sámi Museum and Metsähallitus, and the visitor experiences the cultural and natural contents of the exhibition as one integrated whole.
The central idea of the main exhibition is based on the theory of human ecology and its views on the interdependency of nature and culture. The natural context of the Sámi way of life is shown by gigantic, impressive photographs that cover the outer walls of the exhibition hall. The photographs have been illuminated from behind and they show how the natural, the weather and the light conditions of Northern Lapland vary during the twelve months of the year. In these background photographs, smaller photographs and drawings, texts, dioramas and videos have been embedded. Each month presents basic information on the climate and includes an item for children to look for and experience.
Between the natural and cultural parts of the main exhibition, there is a zone of glass cases, which presents themes that are common to both parts of the exhibition. Seen from the outer part<|fim_middle|> items of the exhibition. The natural light that comes from the long skylight of the building divides the room into summer and winter halves.
For the visitor, passing through the nature exhibition is almost like a real outdoor excursion, as well as a personal and even a surprising exploration. Photographs, drawings, artifacts and texts are complemented by a soundscape that describes the range of seasons and events in nature. The soundscape is recreated in a free rhythm and partly activated by the movements of the visitor. This way, a walk in the nature exhibition becomes an experience that appeals to many senses just like a walk in natural surroundings.
Many of the photographs of Siida's permanent exhibition have been taken especially for this exhibition according to detailed plans. A great number of experts, designers and companies have participated in the preparation of the exhibition. | of the exhibition, the theme, or the display item, tells about a natural phenomenon, while seen from the inner part – the raised mid-floor – the same item is connected with the cultural narrative of the exhibition.

Review: A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child (1989)
A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child (1989)
Directed by: Stephen Hopkins
Premise: Freddy Krueger returns, this time attempting to rebirth himself through the unborn fetus gestating inside the surviving teen from the previous film.
What Works: The Dream Child is among the most ambitious of the Nightmare on Elm Street films with production design that is very impressive and an attempt in the screenplay to move its teenage characters into territory uncharted in the slasher film. In particular, the film takes place at graduation, transitioning everyone into adulthood, and gives its lead heroine an unplanned pregnancy. The characters are better drawn here than some other Nightmare films (save for Dream Warriors) and there are some nice scenes between Alice (Lisa Wilcox) and her recovering alcoholic father (Nicholas Mele).
What Doesn't: The Dream Child does not correct the mistakes of the previous Nightmare film. Although it does not make Freddy an antihero the way The Dream Master did, it also never recovers the character's status as a threatening villain. The murder sequences continue to indulge the fantastic and as a result they become less primal and less scary. Also, like Freddy's Revenge, there is a practical problem: why would Freddy want to possess the baby and be reborn when he can exist in the world of dreams? The film never answers that question and the<|fim_middle|> and it has some interesting visuals but it also makes some elemental mistakes.

Essential oils offer us a way to smell amazing without wearing perfumes made with questionable ingredients.
They carry the most potent components a plant has to offer, and for this reason must be used safely.
Their aromatherapy is perhaps the most divine part about them. When we experience an essential oil, scent receptors all over our bodies (yep, not just in our nose) react, with varying benefits.
So while choosing an essential oil is in one sense just like choosing your perfume, it can also help you enhance your wellbeing. And while synthetic essential oils may carry some benefits, something pure and made from healthy, happy plants is far better.
Because some plants have essential oil that is difficult to extract, some companies will add synthetic oils to these products so they can sell it at a lower price. They can often match the smell pretty well, but you're not getting the full aromatherapeutic benefits.
We make our blends with 100% pure essential oils, which are tested to ensure they are free of chemical residues or added synthetics. If an impurity shows up on a test, we find another source for that essential oil.
This guarantees that you're getting the true benefits of the plants as well as a beautiful-smelling product.
Unless you're going to send your essential oil out to be tested, you essentially need to find a company you trust to source pure ingredients and buy from them.
A single essential oil offers you some benefits, but when blended synergistically, they can work together for a more powerful effect.
For example, spruce essential oil supports your adrenals, frankincense promotes mental peace, rosewood helps dispel sadness, and lavender encourages rest. Together, they create a multi-faceted, calming blend.
Of course, the way the blend smells is also a big factor. We aim for blends that are beautifully balanced, with recognizable top notes anchored by subtle base notes. The result is something that smells beautiful on and offers the wearer something unique and sophisticated<|fim_middle|>And so when you choose your essential oil blend, whether you're choosing which one to buy or choosing which to use for the day, you can also focus on what you need more of in your life. It's a good practice for being intentionally and having a reminder (that you can smell!) to tell you to stay calm, be vibrant, or open your heart.
We made a fun quiz, which is based on traditional essential oil knowledge and includes a dash of imagination.
Take the Quiz: Which Essential Oil are You? | .
To vet an essential oil blend for its synergy, look up each oil that's in the blend and read up on its properties. Look for a mix of different notes (top, middle, and base) for a scent that is balanced and wears through the day. Also look into the aromatherapy of each oil in the blend to get a feel for how those oils will work together. We like Experience Essential Oils for its essential oil info.
It can be a little tricky to really say if a blend is synergistic or not, but it helps to do some research.
Luckily, essential oils are not a new invention. They've been used for thousands of years in ceremony, in ritual, and even as medicine. So their benefits and attributes are known, and this knowledge has been passed down through generations.
There are also dozens of studies on how scent and essential oils in particular affect us, so we have both science and tradition to draw from when we're thinking about how to use essential oils for aromatherapy.
Our process for creating an essential oil blend starts with the effect we want it to have. What do we need more of in our lives? What kinds of moods are we trying to encourage or avoid? Then we choose essential oils that work together to create that aromatherapy.

Barracuda Bets Big: Will set up New Regional Cloud-to-Cloud backup Data Centres in India, France, UAE
Image credit: Solutions Review
Barracuda Networks, Inc., one of the trusted partners and leading provider of cloud-first security solutions has announced three new regional Cloud-to-Cloud Backup data centres in India, UAE and France to meet the growing demand for data protection services in these regions and better serve local customers.
<|fim_middle|> Wakefield | This makes a total of 10 regions for the solution, and customers' Office 365 backup data will be stored locally within each region, a key requirement for customers operating in regulated industries or in countries with data protection laws, the company said.
In a recent study conducted by Barracuda, organisations disclosed that data protection is both a security and regulatory concern for them. A full 69 per cent of respondents said they are concerned about the storage of the data being backed up outside their geography (geo residency), and more than 7 in 10 respondents are concerned about compliance with data privacy requirements.
"At Barracuda, we continue to invest in our global infrastructure in order to help local organizations get access to protection against emerging threats," said Chris Ross, SVP International, Barracuda.
He further added that as more organisations move to the cloud, they are looking to protect their data, while being able to handle and store data locally. Microsoft even advises customers to use a third-party backup and recovery provider, and with these new regions, the company will be able to serve its customers while helping them comply with data regulations and policies.
The company further added that Barracuda's latest version of Cloud-to-Cloud Backup delivers a fast search and restore experience for Office 365 data, including Teams, Exchange Online, SharePoint, and OneDrive. Compared to traditional backup and recovery solutions, it is a cloud-first solution that provides scale and resiliency, fast performance, and wide global coverage to protect Office 365 data born in the cloud.
"With a cloud-native solution, you get the benefit of scale on your backup. Unlike traditional backup solutions, where you have to do capacity management and capacity planning and make sure you have enough storage, a cloud-native solution, like Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup offers you a solution with flexible, scalable capacity to store your data," said Nills Franssens, Senior Cloud Solution Architect, Microsoft.

Manchester United-Arsenal Preview
Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag is expecting a full performance from his side when they make the trip<|fim_middle|>, I think we have a good chance to get a good result."
Opposite number Mikel Arteta meanwhile weighed in on the capture of Brighton and Hove Albion's Leandro Trossard, who has arrived at the club from their Premier League rivals this week.
"It is good work from everyone to complete the signing," the Spaniard said. "He is a versatile player with high technical ability, intelligence and a great deal of experience in the Premier League and at international level."
On a potential deal for Jakub Kiwior however, Arteta was definitive in his denial of an immediate deal, adding: "We cannot talk about players that we haven't finalised."
Arsenal – Bukayo Saka
The England international has scored in his last two Premier League games against Man Utd – only Freddie Ljungberg (1998-2000) and Thierry Henry (2000-2001) have scored in three in a row for Arsenal against the Red Devils in the competition.
Man Utd – Marcus Rashford
The forward has been involved in eight goals in his 10 Premier League starts against Arsenal (4 goals, 4 assists) – against no side has he produced more goal involvements in the Premier League than versus the Gunners.
KEY OPTA FACTS
– Arsenal have won five of their last seven home Premier League matches against Manchester United (D1 L1), winning 3-1 at the Emirates last season.
– Man Utd are looking to complete only their second league double over Arsenal since Sir Alex Ferguson retired in 2013, doing so since then only in 2017-18 under José Mourinho.
– This is the 29th Premier League meeting between Arsenal and Manchester United on a Sunday, with only Chelsea v Liverpool (32) and Liverpool v Man Utd (31) taking place more often on the day. 65% of Arsenal's Premier League victories over the Red Devils have been in Sunday games (11/17).
– Manchester United won 3-1 against Arsenal in September, with the Gunners top of the table. The only side they've beaten twice in the same Premier League campaign when the opponent was top both times are Newcastle United in 1995-96.

The Gunners will play host to the Red Devils in a fixture storied in division history, with the pair firmly among the title contenders once again for the first time in several years amid their impressive revivals.
The rich form enjoyed by the north London outfit will make them a tough prospect, and Ten Hag knows his side will need to be near their best in order to defeat their rivals.
"It is obvious they are in a really good run and I think they deserve the position where they are," he said. "They have a really good mentality and winning attitude and that is why they are top of the list.
"It is up to us to beat their run and we will do everything to do that."
United will be missing Casemiro after the midfielder picked up a ban, but Ten Hag is insistent his absence will have no bearing on their performance.
"We beat Arsenal last time without Casemiro so we have an idea of how to deal with that," he added.

As our company has grown, our mission hasn't changed: help moms everywhere bond with their babies by creating effective, trusted products that incorporate wise ingredients from around the world.
Roshan Kaderali is originally from Tanzania and has lived permanently in the United States for more than 35 years. When Roshan began her nursing practice in the U.S., she recommended Gripe Water for infant colic and fussiness.

Editor's Note: This forum letter first appeared on the Straits Times forum.
With the recent major disruption to our train network ("2 major MRT lines down for over 2 hours"; Wednesday), perhaps Singapore could take a leaf out of the book of our Asian neighbour, Hong Kong.
Hong Kong's Mass Transit Railway (MTR) is a 218km metro network that serves 1.6 billion passengers a year and carries, on average, 5.2 million passengers a day.

The following are some of the noteworthy things the Hong Kong MTR has achieved.
The MTR can replace a 60m rail piece in 2 1/2 hours, and within the constraints of<|fim_middle|>The internal operating target is to resolve every issue within two minutes.
With two operators, SMRT and SBS Transit, perhaps Singapore needs a centralised control centre to manage the whole rail network.
The MTR operates the London Overground, the Melbourne and Stockholm metro systems, as well as parts of the Beijing, Shenzhen and Hangzhou metro systems in China. It also provides consultation services to other railway networks around the world.
The MTR invests about HK$5 billion (S$873 million) in maintenance, upgrades and renewals to its system. The company is mindful that, even with the latest systems, things have to be changed every 10 years.
The MTR also uses radio-frequency identification technology to help monitor the condition of its trains and machinery, and provide early warnings of potential problems.
Even without the issues facing our rail network, Singapore should be open to learning from its neighbour, with regard to running a reliable rail network.

The sun is good for us but we must use it correctly to not harm the skin and compromise our health. In the pool, in addition to sun exposure, our skin also suffer from the effects of chlorine. The first step is to protect yourself properly, choosing a sunscreen that blocks dangerous sun rays. Use sunscreen with Protection Factor (SPF) of 15 to 70, according to the skin type (<|fim_middle|> the process and also during the period of intense outdoor exposure. It should also hydrate the body by drinking plenty of fluids, and apply daily facial and body moisturizers compatible with the type of skin after bathing. Another tip is to make a weekly exfoliation in areas such as elbows, knees and feet. The main habit to keep a healthy tan and longer is to cultivate an balanced diet is essential for the proper functioning of the whole organism. Skin being the largest organ we have, then nothing better than to eat well, to keep skin, nails and hair healthy and beautiful. In addition to maintaining proper hydration, it is worth remembering that the person overreacted in the first days of sun exposure, the chance of skin peeling is greater.
A balanced diet is always vital, regardless of whether or not a person exposed to the sun. But some foods improve skin appearance and enhance your tan naturally. They are: carrots, papaya, mango, melon, pumpkin, orange and green leaves, such as parsley, cabbage, kale, spinach and watercress, rich in beta carotene, the nutrient that turns into vitamin A in the body and protects cells from sun damage . Other healthy habits is to eat balanced diet in liquid form of water or juices, which help in proper functioning of cellular metabolism throughout the body.
It is essential to maintain a sunscreen with SPF 30, which must be applied in sun-exposed areas such as face, chest, neck, arms, hands and legs, even when you're not at the beach or pool.
