BkiUdCs4eIZjnMRRdO9k | Football rumours from the media
Hopes of a return to the Premier League for Gareth Bale appear to be fading amid reports Manchester United and Tottenham have both closed the door on a big-money move for the Wales international. The Daily Mail reports that a combination of his age and injury problems has put both clubs off signing a player who earns £600,000-a-week before tax. The Telegraph claims the 29-year-old could instead be heading to China, reporting that Beijing Guoan are interested in making Bale the highest-paid player in Chinese football history. The Independent, meanwhile, suggests Paris St Germain could be preparing a swap deal for Bale that would send Neymar to the Bernabeu.
Laurent Koscielny has reportedly agreed terms with Ligue 1 side Rennes. The Sun says reports in France suggest the Arsenal captain is to meet Gunners officials in the next two days to seek a termination of his current contract. It is thought the defender will cost around £10million, the paper adds.

Manchester United are reportedly on the verge of signing £80million-rated Harry Maguire. The Metro says the side have made a breakthrough in talks with Leicester after struggling to reach an agreement.
Arsenal are confident of completing a loan deal for Real Madrid's Dani Ceballos, according to the Daily Mirror. The Gunners have held lengthy talks with the Spanish side and are very hopeful of getting the deal over the line, the paper reports. Tottenham have also been linked with a move for the 22-year-old.

BkiUdEg5qWTA8JC6R57f | Zimbabwe: Mugabe faces imminent dismissal
Originally published on Daily Maverick
Zimbabwe's President, Robert Mugabe faces imminent dismissal from his party Zanu-PF, and constitutional removal as President of the country after several key opponents united, leaving him in the proverbial 'check mate'.
Late on Friday several opposition parties issued statements at their press conferences indicating they unanimously agreed that Robert Mugabe must be removed. This was on the back of reports that Mugabe had rejected a deal offered by the military to resign.
And while negotiations over a potential deal that would see Mugabe removed as president continued, his own party, Zanu-PF, passed resolutions recommending that he be recalled, then fired.
The resolutions were passed by Provincial Coordinating Committees which consist of politburo members, central committee members, and provincial chairs. The resolutions by the provinces has forced the Central Committee to convene on Sunday and implement the resolutions.
Parliament in Zimbabwe is set to convene on Tuesday, where it is now expected that Zanu-PF MPs will bring a motion for Mugabe to impeached. Given statements by the opposition, in support of the actions by the military to clip Mugabe's access to abusive and repressive state apparatus, it is expected that the opposition will vote with the ruling party.
Mugabe has been subject to military-imposed limitation after the army moved in to "remove criminal elements" in the country – many of whom were allies of Mugabe's wife Grace and who had attempted to seize control of the state.
Citizens across the political divide have been asked to unite in a march to be held on Saturday to denounce Mugabe and demand that he be removed.
On Friday, Zanu-PF trucks filled with opposition supporters from the MDC-T – signalling that warring opposition figures had united agains Mugabe – were spotted around town mobilising people to attend and speak their voice. The march is intended to send a strong message to SADC and the African Union, who are all seen as potential backers of Robert Mugabe, and are suspected to try to intervene to keep Mugabe in power.
The AU and SADC issued statements expressing concern about what they believed appeared to be a coup in the country. SADC convened a meeting in Botswana but did not come to a resolution.
An online petition was started by Zimbabweans, asking SADC to stay away from their business. The activists like Evan Mawarire, Patson Dzamara and Rufaro Kaseke called on their supporters to support the actions of the military.
"They have paved a way for us, and we must finish what they started for us," Kaseke said in a Facebook live video.
Mugabe's political survival seems unlikely. His long-standing supporters, the war veterans issued a scathing press statement, where they spoke of unity among the citizens, and encouraged a march to the state house.

Google pulls the plug on Stadia today: What went wrong?
Today marks another dark day for game streaming. Why did Google Stadia not take off in its 3 years of existence? Was Google overambitious or not ambitious enough?
The first two high-profile game streaming services Gaikai and OnLive failed, and were both acquired by Sony in 2012 and 2015, respectively, for their cloud streaming assets. You may recall that Sony offered a PlayStation Now app that could stream PlayStation 3 games directly to TVs and Blu-ray players – no console required – before it was shut down on most devices in 2017.
Despite major acquisitions and investments in the field, Sony squandered its lead in cloud gaming.
Sony's troubles, however, did not deter Google. In late 2018, Google's 'Project Stream' entered closed beta and in November 2019 Google launched Stadia publicly as a standalone service for game streaming where users were asked to purchase games individually and sometimes get a few bonus games in their hat with a subscription plan that also gave acces to higher-quality video streams.
Phil Harrison, VP and GM of Google Stadia, speaking at the launch event in March 2019
Streaming is not the product
Google was very eager to get started and the launch was plagued by issues, limitations and broken promises, but many argue that it was ultimately Stadia's business model of individual game purchases that led to its demise.
We believe this first factor to be only part of the failure. Remember, Sony's PlayStation Now became a subscription service with a good selection of popular PlayStation games, but to little effect. Yes, it was for a long time limited to PS3 titles (PS4 games were added in 2017), but Sony's CFO Hiroki Totoki in 2019 provided some perspective saying that just 7 months after PS Now added the ability to also download games, players spent twice as much time playing downloaded games compared to streamed games.
OnLive, Gaikai, Sony and Google all treated game streaming as the product but in reality it should just have been a technical component of a larger service. This is how Microsoft has approached things with Xbox Game Pass and Sony too has pivoted with the merger of PS Plus and PS Now. Sony still offers game streaming but only in the most expensive PS Plus tier.
In essence, it just doesn't make sense for users to stream a game over the internet to a device that is perfectly capable of running a local copy of the games, i.e. a PC or console, and has access to a much, much larger selection of games on Steam or the console store – just like how it makes little sense to stream a movie to a console or Blu-ray player with a disc drive.
Google promised the world at its glitzy launch event in March 2019
Priorities, priorities, download
This brings us to our third factor: Google should from the get-go have included a download option and should instead have used game streaming to expand the market potential for Stadia. Google had its priorities all wrong when it launched Stadia on PCs and insisted that users use game streaming. It was a defendable assumption for smartphones, except that PC games are not designed for small touch screens.
The only right choice Google made in terms of its go-to-market strategy was to focus on Chromecast Ultra, but in the process it missed the real opportunity: The millions and millions of Smart TVs out there, where Stadia could have enabled AAA gaming on relatively slow hardware to let users save a significant portion of money by not having to buy a physical console.
We had to wait until June 2021, almost two years, to get Stadia on Android TV – Google's own freaking TV platform! It took until December 2021 to bring it to LG TVs and until June 2022 to bring it to Samsung TVs. And it only worked on LG and Samsung's latest generations of TVs!
The dark horse: Apple
The fourth factor, which there is surprisingly almost no mention of in relation to Stadia's failure, is Apple. This one is two-fold.
Apple did not allow game streaming services onto its app store, and even after revising app store rules Apple seemingly did not really want them, so Stadia never arrived as a functional app (there is an app but it does not let you stream the games) in Apple's store. Instead, Stadia had to be used from a web browser, which is not ideal. Google did not fight Apple – at least not publicly – but Microsoft took up the fight and it is clear that Apple's roadblock has major implications for Microsoft's roll-out plans for Xbox Game Pass. The Apple ecosystem is vital if Microsoft – or Google – wants to reach millions or perhaps even hundreds of millions of paying users.
And then there is Apple Arcade, which launched around the same time as Google Stadia in late 2019. Arcade is a subscription service with downloadable games. Arcade and Stadia were not direct competitors and there are few similarities, but Arcade may still be the best example of why Google Stadia failed.
In fact, we would argue that Apple Arcade competed asymmetrically against Stadia, and continues to compete asymmetrically against PlayStation and Xbox. It just requires a very long perspective to see how.
With Stadia, Google started from the top by wanting some of the most advanced PC games tied to game streaming technology. A niche within a niche. With Arcade, Apple started from the bottom with the idea that it can use mobile gaming's foundation (billion-user scale, ARM CPUs etc.) to gradually expand its position in the gaming market to higher-end segments such as the PC screen (via Macs) and the TV screen (via Apple TV). It is a concept known as "disruption" and it takes many years plus a lot of patience and iteration.
The only real statistic we have on Google Stadia's user base is Destiny Raid Report's stats on Destiny 2 players (link). They reveal that Destiny 2 accounts created on Stadia amounted to less than 900,000 (1,5% of all Destiny 2 accounts). Destiny 2 was one of the first games to launch on Stadia and one of the most "popular".
The whisper number on Apple Arcade is "nine-figure subscribers" (via iMore), a number seemingly divulged to the developer of Football Manager. It is a little hard to believe that Apple Arcade has 100+ million subscriptions but it is worth remembering that millions of Apple subscribers have access to Arcade included with their Apple One subscription. Whether they use it actively is, of course, another matter. But let's say Apple at one point adds a killer game to Arcade to lure these people out of passivity – and then build from there.
This is what Google should have done with Stadia. Give everyone in the Android ecosystem and other ecosystems access to mainstream games they could actually play. Start from the bottom, build up, expand the market, win.
Instead, Google Stadia will be buried at the Google graveyard today January 18, 2023.

BkiUdN44uBhi1_IMia3a | Singur case: Mamata wins, Tata image dented but will farmers be the biggest losers?
The much-awaited and discussed Singur land case has been settled with the Supreme Court on Wednesday asking the state government to return 400 acres to farmers, who are the original owners, in 12 weeks' time. The verdict comes as a moral victory for chief minister Mamata Banerjee and a big jolt for the Tata group, for whom the land was acquired by then the Left government in 2006 for the highly ambitious small-car project, the Nano.
However, the biggest losers are likely to be the farmers who were the real heroes of the agitation and remained loyal to their cause. It was the Singur land agitation that had propelled Mamata into the political dominance in West Bengal. The agitation against the land acquisition by the Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee-led Left government started with a few farmers expressing their unwillingness to part with their cultivable land for the industrial project.
Mamata, who was then cashing in on every opportunity to create her own space in the Left-dominated political space of West Bengal, seized the chance to lead the agitation. At a rally, she breathed fire challenging the government to acquire even an inch of land "without creating a river of blood". "Let them deploy a million-strong police force, there will be no retreat," she vowed. The Left front government was projecting the deal with Tata Motors as its big victory.
It was a key milestone that would have helped the Left, which had been ruling the state since 1977, ward off its industry-unfriendly image. As this article in The Economist in 2008 says, "The West Bengal government wanted the Nano plant both for the jobs it would bring and the message it would send." But after the two-year-long agitation by farmers, lead by Mamata and strongly backed by many eminent activists and writers such as Mahashweta Devi, Aprna Sen and Medha Patkar, the Tata group was forced to pull out of the state and relocate the plant lock, stock and barrel to Sanand in Gujarat.
The decision in one stroke resulted in the rise of two stars - then Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi as an industry-friendly politician and Mamata as a politician for the farmer and the farm land, an image until remained the monopoly of the Left. Around 2200 farmers were 'unwilling' to part with their land. They owned about 400 acres, as per the claim of Mamata (the government then said only 181 acres fell in the unwilling category).
Soon after Mamata became the chief minister riding high on the wave of this and other agitation against industrial use of agricultural land, she enacted a law wresting the land from the Tatas. The company contested the claim. After 10 years, when the Supreme Court has given its verdict on the land vindicating Mamata's stance, there is an irony that is hard to escape. | commoncrawl | 5 | 1 | 5 | 2 |

'Cajun Night Before Christmas': The story behind the storybook
While James Rice was traveling around the country in 1973, trying to find a publisher for his children's illustrations, the Bergeron Plymouth company of New Orleans released an original Christmas advertisement: a Cajun take on Clement Moore's popular Christmas poem "A Visit from St. Nicholas," but written in a South Louisiana patois. Pelican Publishing's Milburn Calhoun heard the re-interpretation — penned by J.B. Kling Jr., writing as "Trosclair," a Cajun spokesman for Bergeron Plymouth in its radio ads — and had to get it published. He enlisted Rice to provide the colorful illustrations, including the sight of St. Nick on a skiff drawn by eight magic alligators, and "Cajun Night Before Christmas" was born.
Generations have grown up with Kling/Trosclair's charming tale, which is nearing its 45th year of publication. It's since become tradition to read the story all over South Louisiana during the holiday season, from Celebration in the Oaks to the Algiers Bonfire. In 2015, LSU placekicker Colby Delhoussaye even read "Cajun Night Before Christmas" to members of his team.
The narrator in "Cajun Night Before Christmas" spies St. Nick with his flying skiff and eight flying alligators. Historically, though, only some inhabitants of Louisiana have referred to Santa Claus as St. Nick. For the people of German decent he was Kris Kringle or St. Nick, while the descendants of French settlers called him Papa Noel. Cajuns celebrated a visit by a woman they called La Christianne.
Forget Dasher, Dancer, Prancer and Blitzen. St. Nick's alligators are named Gaston, Tiboy, Pierr, Alcee, Ninette, Suzette, Celeste and Renee.
People from New Orleans may most commonly remember the tale from another favorite Christmas tradition. The story is a part of one of the most popular light displays at Celebration in the Oaks in City Park. As visitors watch the light-up versions of St. Nick and his gators, they can listen to the classic recording by radio personality Tommy Joe Breaux.
"Cajun Night Before Christmas" was the first children's book from Pelican Publishing, but it wasn't the last. With hundreds of thousands of copies in print, it inspired 18 more interpretations of the classic poem, from the "Alaska Night Before Christmas" to the "Texas Night Before Christmas," as well as the newest publication, an "Artist's Night Before Christmas." It has consequently helped make the children's segment the largest at Pelican.
In addition to capturing the attention of Pelican Publishing, the story also won a Clio Award from the Academy of Television and Radio Advertising.
Originally from Texas, James Rice is considered one of the South's most prominent illustrators of children's books. "Cajun Night Before Christmas" was his first published book, and he went on to produce 60 other children's books. During his lifetime, Rice won awards from Printer Industries of America and the Children's Book Council. He died in 2004.
Although Clement Moore is credited as original author of the poem "A Visit from St. Nicholas" (which is more commonly known by its first line: "'Twas the Night Before Christmas"), the writer Washington Irving is credited with coming up with the idea of a flying Santa Claus. In writing his satirical book, "A History of New York from the Beginning of the World to the End of the Dutch Dynasty," Irving needed a way for Santa Claus to travel all over the world in one night. Thus the flying sleigh.
The original recording of "Cajun Night Before Christmas" sold by Pelican was read by Coleen Salley, an author and longtime professor at the University of New Orleans. Another popular reading of the tale is by Larry Ray.
It may have started with an advertisement, but the birth of "Cajun Night Before Christmas" made a Christmas classic into Louisiana's own. For kids in South Louisiana, reindeer, a sleigh and even snow are foreign. But trade those elements for things a bit more familiar — a skiff, eight alligators, the bayou — and add a dash of Cajun magic, and you've got a story that inspires true wonder in kids (and a few adults) all over the Bayou State. | commoncrawl | 5 | 2 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUbLLxK7FjYAb_5Ehj | Facebook is turning to its Groups feature in its ongoing quest to attract more ad dollars.
The company confirmed that it was test delivering ads in the feature to select users across four countries, according to TechCrunch. Facebook said it was testing Groups ads on both mobile and desktop in Australia, Canada, Ireland, and New Zealand, with plans to evaluate responses from users and advertisers before rolling it out more broadly.
The Groups feature counts just over 1 billion members (or 59% of Facebook's total user count), allowing users to bond over shared hobbies or interests.
The move makes sense for Facebook, as the company is set to hit maximum ad load capacity in its News Feed section by the middle of next year. Available space for brands is drying up on the platform's main venue for advertising, so finding new streams of revenue is imperative.
The social giant's latest ambition builds upon the company's recent endeavors to increase their advertising avenues. Most notably, the platform has been testing mid-roll ads in their Live video offering, Sponsored Messages from brands in its Messenger app, and its recent launch of Workplace. Facebook's market share in mobile advertising is expected to jump to 12% this year from 9% two years ago, and increased ad revenue growth will be key to their future success.
US digital ad revenue is expected to reach nearly $100 billion by 2021, according to BI Intelligence estimates.This represents compound annual growth of 8% from the $68.9 billion expected in 2016.
Mobile is positioned to become the top destination for digital ad spending as advertisers continue to attempt to close the "mobile opportunity gap."
Digital video advertising will grow faster than any other segment over the next five years, as consumers shift time spent online to phones and tablets.Revenue in this category is forecast to rise from $8.5 billion in 2016 to $23 billion in 2021.
Social advertising in all formats is gaining traction and will be among the key drivers of digital ad growth in the next five years.Social ad revenue is poised to climb to $30.8 billionby 2021, up from $15.5 billionthis year.
The choice is yours. But however you decide to acquire this report, you've given yourself a powerful advantage in your understanding of digital media ad revenue. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUd7U4eIXgusHAGpcs | Shindong Reveals Which Super Junior Member Used To Date A Girl Group Member
Super Junior's Shindong was put into the dating hot seat when he appeared on MBC's Video Star Valentine's Day Special.
On February 14th, Shindong was one of the guests on the special episode of the program. He was immediately put into the hot seat with Kim Sook's remark,
"Hong Jin Young once said that Shindong had a secret relationship with a girl group member. It was a short but intense relationship."
– Kim Sook
Although Hong Jin Young clarified that Shindong may not have been in a relationship with that certain idol group member, Shindong honestly replied,
"It was early in our debut. She was Hong Jin Young's best friend back then. Three of our members were dating within that girl group at the time."
– Shindong
Shindong even outed fellow member Sungmin, who was not married at the time, to have dated one of the members from that same group.
Sungmin dated a fellow idol during Super Junior's debut days?
Hong Jin Young also talked about Shindong's preference towards women with good bodies and this was proven was once more when he said, "I like women with cute faces but sexy bodies."
Shindong's honesty on this episode earned quite a deal of laughter, but it was his revelation about Super Junior's dating secrets which caught the most attention.

BkiUcTHxK7FjYHGHzIjb | Andy C brings his All Night show to Ibiza for the first time ever
Events Ibiza
FOR TICKETS & INFORMATION
TOGETHER-CLUB.CO.UK
This summer for the first time ever outside the UK, Andy C brings his legendary #ALLNIGHT concept he's become famed for to Ibiza on Tuesday 13th August in an exclusive debut, taking over the hallowed turf that is the Terrace in what is yet another mammoth career milestone for the unrivalled titan of D&B. The all-night affair promises to be a truly unforgettable event and unmissable for the drum & bass faithful and anyone lucky enough to be on the island.
From recently selling out his ALL NIGHT show at The SSE Wembley Arena in the venue's first-ever late-night show over it's 84 year prestigious history, to countless sold-out events across the nation at numerous other illustrious venues including the iconic Alexandra Palace and two O2 Academy Brixton shows, to name a few. Elsewhere the executioner continues to expand his ever-growing cabinet of milestones with a slew of headline slots at the world's greatest festivals including London's SW4 to Glastonbury, EDC and Ultra, not to mention two epic 13 week residencies held at XOYO, voted the drum n bass event of the decade by Mixmag and the greatest ever residency to land at the venue, which sold out in record time proving once again that he's the undisputed champion of Drum & Bass.
The Executioner now makes history once again as the first-ever D&B artist to bring an all-night set to Amnesia's legendary 5000 capacity terrace. A space which previously existed as open-air but is now enclosed with a greenhouse terrace, providing a magnificent view for those still standing at sunrise as the rays beam down on the vast dance floor burning even further atmosphere into the building, adding to the unparalleled energy already created as the bass rattles through the chest plates of thousands of sweaty, passionate and hardcore ravers in the original settings of the world-famous Amnesia Terrace.
An artist who constantly immerses himself in new music and always creates a unique experience at any of his shows, we look forward with great anticipation to one of the most standout nights in our 16-week programme, as the king of D&B marks another milestone in his prolific career.
Join Together and Andy as he brings his #ALL NIGHT long celebrations to Europe for the first time ever on Tuesday 13th August as the undisputed champion of D&B creates history on the white isle!
Going against the grain and setting its own agenda, Together Ibiza 2019 is the ultimate bass music experience for those who like their rib cages rattled and minds blown in a whole new way.

BkiUbdU4dbjiU69DgVyK | BRYC Shines at 2016 FPYC Fathers' Day All Star Tournament
Six Teams Bring Home Trophies. Four Teams Finish Unbeaten and Untied
BRYC All Star teams had their best showing in recent memory at the FPYC Father's Day Tournament, June 18-19. Congratulations to the 200+ players selected to represent BRYC in the tournament. Thanks to all 22 coaches and their assistants who gave so unselfishly of their time through the regular season and then volunteered for more, going above and beyond for another two weeks of All Star team practices, and represented the club so well at tournament time whether they won or lost. Special thanks to BRYC's All Star Tournament Coordinator Anthony Pagano for pulling it all together.
Four BRYC squads brought home Championship honors, including the U9 Boys coached by Mike McGinn (pictured right), the U10 Girls coached by Jennifer Oleyar (below left), the U11 Boys coached by Mike Essig (below right), and the U16 Boys coached by Scott Sarratt, who had to play through two overtime periods and then go a perfect 5 for 5 in PKs to prevail. (For a more complete story on the U16 Boys road to the championship, click here.) Two other teams were finalists, including the U9 Girls coached by Michelle Dierkes, and the photo-shy U19 Boys coached by BRYC veteran Bob Heyer. And in U8 play, where game scores are recorded but there are no championships, five BRYC squads recorded an astounding record of 16-3-1, with Coach Martel's U8 Girls and Coach Crowder's U9 Boys notching perfect 4-0-0 records.
While the Webmaster would love to see ALL the teams in action, and in years past would often make it to a dozen or more games over the weekend, this year he just made it to two, notably including the U9 finalist girls coached by Michelle Dierkes, ably assisted by her daughter Nicole. It was a fortuitous choice of games on Father's Day morning, with the BRYC girls besting a Burke Athletic Club (BAC) squad by a score of 2-0 for its third win of the tournament, after beating Soccer on the Hill (SOTH) and Sterling Youth Soccer (SYSA) the previous day.
The girls would go on to win their Sunday afternoon game against a second squad from SOTH, finishing the tournament with a perfect record of 4-0-0, winning three of those games by shutout and only giving up a single goal in the other, yet only managed a second place finish to a Loudoun team that finished with an identical record, also notched three shutouts, but scored a few more goals. How exciting it would have been to see these two talented teams go head to head, for they were clearly the class of the tournament division. Maybe next fall as U10s! In any event, the Webmaster was pleased to be there and happy to capture the team in action in the photo gallery below.
Again, congratulations to ALL the coaches and players, win, lose or draw, for representing BRYC so ably. You can all be proud. | commoncrawl | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUcx44uBhivVgoiryu | Where there's a will… | Protecting your future... and theirs.
What if you have a fully-funded trust, but are killed by a drunk driver, or by medical malpractice? Your estate (NOT your trust!) could become the plaintiff in a multi-million dollar lawsuit, or the recipient of a large settlement or insurance payout. Even if you have a trust, those proceeds would be coming to YOU – and hence, to your estate – not your trust. This is just one example of why the 'pour-over' will is an important part of a trust plan.
Or what if you learn that you were named as a beneficiary of someone else's estate, such as a distant relative or long-lost friend? And then, by a twist of fate, you die before actually receiving your inheritance? (This actually happened in an estate I was recently called upon to help administer.) While money you had actually received prior to your death could have been placed into an account in the name of your trust, unless you also had the forethought to assign your right to future distributions to the trust, those funds would be a "probate asset" that would pass according to your will (or, if you had none, to your heirs – rather than to your trust or the individuals you would have designated in your will).
So those are some good reasons to have a "pour-over" will even if you have a trust.
But what if you are young, or poor, and you're perfectly fine with your assets passing to your legal heirs (those who will get your stuff if you don't have a will)? Why should you spend the time and money to make a will?
Well, consider the above examples, which are just a few of the many ways that large sums or other assets could come into your estate as a result of your death, or shortly before or after you die. Are you still comfortable with even a very large sum passing by intestacy? (Do you even KNOW where it will go? If you live in Hawaii, and are married, it can be difficult to even determine how much will pass to your spouse – some may go directly to your children or even to your parents, if they are alive!) If you have a small estate, it may all go to your spouse, but if it increases substantially, it is possible that large amounts will go to your children (even if they are minors) or parents. Conversely, the size of your estate may go down, if you are found liable for an accident or incur large medical bills, and that too can change how your assets are distributed.
You need to be sure that your plan will work as you wish even if the size of your estate changes substantially, in either direction, and one way to do that is to work with an experienced estate planner, who can help you to think of different "what ifs" and design a plan that will work with all of them.
Finally, what if you move to a different state? While state laws can affect the precise way in which an estate will be distributed even if you have a will, most states provide that a will is valid for someone dying in the state, if it was valid "when and where" it was made. This means that at least most of the provisions in your will (if you have one) will control things after you are gone, even if you move to a new state. Moreover, in most states, the individual named in a will has priority to serve as executor (there may be some 'glitches' – for example, some states have residency requirements for executors, so a non-resident might not qualify), so at least you will have some assurance that you will have your chosen person "in charge" and making the necessary decisions. If you have NO will, however, and you move to another state, the entire scheme of distribution (and even the persons who have priority to serve as executor) can be changed drastically.
These are just some reasons why almost everyone should have a will – regardless of their wishes, family or financial circumstances. | c4 | 4 | 3 | 5 | 5 |

BkiUcFDxK0iCl36cWTxu | Here's a quick and simple way to cook Sinigang na Bangus sa Kamatis (Milkfish in Tomato Stew), as demonstrated by my eldest sister. She actually did away with measurements though, but the recipe is quite straightforward. Tomatoes may not be as sour as sampaloc, but it is more readily available and the result is a delicate sour taste that's nice to sip and/or add to rice.
Pour water onto a medium-sized pot (depending on how much soup you want), and add the tomatoes, sili, and ginger. Season with salt. Cover and bring to a boil over medium heat.
Add the sliced bangus and cover to cook (around 5 minutes). Then remove from heat and add the pechay leaves. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUc5s5qWTA6f4qDTvi | Five takeaways – Heart and vascular health
Expert insights from Christiana Care's HVIS Conference
Advancements in interventional heart and vascular health are saving lives — and improving the quality of life for patients.
Felisha E. Alderson, MSN, RN, CRRN
Last fall, more than 40 professionals learned from clinical experts about the latest advances in devices, procedures and care at the fifth annual Heart and Vascular Interventional Services Conference at the John H. Ammon Medical Education Center at Christiana Hospital.
Felisha E. Alderson, MSN, RN, CRRN, clinical operations director for Heart and Vascular services, and colleagues highlight five takeaways from the event.
Imaging pathways are advancing stroke care.
Technology is driving changes in stroke care. CT profusion studies allow physicians to see whether an intervention will have an impact on the patient's outcome and plays a key role in preventing deficits.
"We are now able to treat patients who have gone beyond the 6 to 8 hour window for successful care, extending that opportunity to 24 hours—and sometimes even longer," she said. "In the recent past, patients who went to bed and woke up with a deficit couldn't be treated. Now, sometimes, they can."
Faster studies also mean patients can get help sooner. A key intervention is delivering clot-busting drugs to patients who have suffered ischemic strokes, which are caused by blockages.
At Christiana Care, the goal for door-to-needle time is less than 45 minutes. To date in 2019, the team has achieved an average of 25 minutes. The door-to-puncture goal is 75 minutes; so far this year, the rate is 46 minutes.
Micra is the next generation of pacemakers.
Less than 10 percent the size of a standard pacemaker, the Micra is comparable to a large vitamin capsule. Four tines attach the device into right ventricle and eliminate need for leads.
Because it goes in through the vein, it's much less invasive.
The Micra-pacer is usually used to treat bradycardia, or low heart rate, for patients who only need a single chamber to be paced.
The device doesn't impinge on the bicuspid valve and the complication rate is low, less than 4 percent, compared to average of 12 percent in standard pacemakers. Because there is no surgical pocket, there are no pocket complications, such as infection.
"It would be a good option for someone who plays tennis and might worry about the leads being dislodged," Alderson said.
You can't see it under the skin, as you can with a standard pacemaker. There are fewer activity restrictions and patients can get an MRI, which they can't with a traditional pacemaker. It won't set off the security system at the airport.
The battery life is 10 to 12 years. When the battery needs to be replaced, a new device is simply inserted.
Prostate artery embolization is less invasive.
As men age, the prostate grows. An enlarged prostate affects about half of men ages 51 to 60 and as many as 90 percent of men older than age 80. Often, they have problems with their urinary tract because the enlarged prostate impedes the flow of urine.
Usually medications can help. But for men for whom medications don't work, prostate artery embolization is an option.
"Prostate artery embolization is the new and exciting treatment option for those suffering from an enlarged prostate," said Christopher J. Grilli, D.O., vascular and interventional radiology specialist. "This interventional advancement allows treatment without having to undergo invasive surgical procedures. This is a win-win."
Before prostate artery embolization, the treatment was transurethral resection of the prostate, a surgery in which tissue is removed. Prostate artery embolization is a same-day procedure performed in the interventional radiology lab. In prostate artery embolization, tiny round microspheres are injected through a catheter and into the blood vessels that feed the prostate to reduce its blood supply.
When blood flow to the artery is blocked, it allows the urethra to expand and resolves urinary tract problems. Minor side effects, such as burning, subside quickly.
LVAD education helps patients and families lead healthier lives.
A left ventricular assist device or LVAD takes over the pumping work of the left ventricle in patients with heart failure. Originally, it was a bridge to transplant, a big bulky machine that kept patients alive until a donor heart was obtained. Today, the devices are much smaller and can be carried in a fanny pack.
For many patients, LVAD is now a destination therapy, a device they will rely on for the rest of their lives. Without it, they would be bedridden or dead. With the LVAD, they can lead active lives.
The Heart Failure team at Christiana Care educates the entire family on care and maintenance of the device.
"You have to be compliant because if it stops working, so does your heart," Alderson says. "It's also important to know signs of stroke, heart attack or DVT (deep vein thrombosis)."
Extensive education is a key to success. Everyone has to be onboard, making sure patients have batteries with them and batteries charging at home at all times. To prevent clots, patients must take blood thinners, which can cause complications with bleeding. Patients should not use a straight razor to shave and should fall proof their homes.
The team also teaches patients and their support people to clean the site and watch for signs of infection and what to do if the device malfunctions. If patients are transported by ambulance, they must let the emergency medical team know they won't have normal blood pressure reading because the device is pumping, not the heart. The team trains first responders not to perform CPR on LVAD patients and risk breaking the device.
There's an extra layer of care from the LVAD team, which has a staff member on call 24/7.
STEMI coordination speeds care for patients.
When someone suffers a serious heart attack, every second matters.
Christiana Care's STEMI coordinator works with county and state emergency medical services to recognize a STEMI (ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction) before the patient arrives at the hospital.
"Our EMS providers tell us that the patient has a STEMI so a physician can be ready and waiting in the Emergency Department to send them directly to the cardiac catherization lab," Alderson said.
In fiscal year 2018, more than 75 percent of STEMI codes resulted in interventions. STEMI coordination reduced door-to-balloon time by 16 minutes to 31 minutes. That's a big difference.
Currently, 98.5 percent of U.S. hospitals maintain a myocardial infarction registry. Of those hospitals, Christiana Care ranks in the 90th percentile in response time.
Mark A. Troiano, D.O., interventional cardiologist, performs exploratory a cardiac catheterization in the Heart & Vascular Interventional Services Lab at Christiana Hospital.

BkiUfFs5qg5DVP08S4S0 | Ballet suites by Kara Karayev attractively scored and full of engaging ideas in excellent performances from Dmitry Yablonsky and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra on a new Naxos release
The Azerbaijani composer Kara Karayev (also spelled Gara Garayev) (1918-1982) was born in Baku to a father who was a Professor of Medicine and a mother, who was among the first graduates of the Baku-based school of the Russian Music Society. At the age of eight he entered the junior music school at the Azerbaijan State Conservatoire, now the Baku Music Academy and later attended the Azerbaijan State Conservatoire. Among his teachers were Georgi Sharoyev, Leonid Rudolf, and the Azerbaijani composer Uzeyir Hajibeyov (1885-1948). In 1937, Garayev joined the Union of Composers of Azerbaijan SSR.
1938 saw Karayev's first composition, a cantata The Song of the Heart to a poem by Rasul Rza (1910–1981). It was performed the same year, in the presence of Stalin, in Moscow's Bolshoi Theatre. In 1938, Garayev moved to Moscow State Conservatoire, where he became a student and a good friend of Dmitri Shostakovich.
In 1941 Garayev returned to Baku to teach at Azerbaijan State Philharmonic Society. 1945 saw his opera The Motherland ('Vətən') which was awarded the Stalin Prize. Another Stalin Prize came in 1948, for his symphonic poem Leyli and Majnun. Upon the death of Uzeyir Hajibeyov (1885-1948), Garayev became the Chair of the Union of Composers of Azerbaijan SSR and the rector of Azerbaijan State Conservatoire.. In 1948 Karayev became the head of the Music Department at the Azerbaijan Architecture and Art Institute. In June 1961, Karayev and Tikhon Khrennikov (1913-2007) were the only two Soviet composers who attended the first International Los Angeles Music Festival held at UCLA, Franz Waxman conducting the Festival Symphony Orchestra with a suite from Karayev's Path of Thunder.
Karayev suffered from heart disease, which prevented him from attending his own 60th jubilee celebration held in Baku, where he was awarded the title of the Hero of Socialist Labour. Karayev spent the last five years of his life in Moscow, away from his beloved Baku. He died on 13th May 1982, in Moscow, at the age of 64. His body was flown to Baku and buried at the Alley of Honour.
Whilst having a love of the music of Bach, Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, Prokofiev and Shostakovich, Karayev was strongly drawn to Albanian, Vietnamese, Turkish, Bulgarian, Spanish, African and Arabic folklore and music.
Karayev's compositions include operas, cantatas, ballets, symphonic and chamber pieces, piano music and songs.
A new release from Naxos www.naxos.com features two of Karayev's suites from his ballet scores, The Seven Beauties and The Path of Thunder with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra www.rpo.co.uk conducted by Dmitry Yablonsky www.dmitryyablonsky.com
It was in 1953, that Karayev's Seven Beauties ballet was staged at the Azerbaijani Theatre of Opera and Ballet. Based on Nizami Ganjavi's (1141-1209) poem, Seven Beauties (Yeddi gözəl), it was the first Azerbaijani ballet and opened a new chapter in the history of classical music of Azerbaijan. Karayev's only other ballet, Path of Thunder (İldırımlı yollarla) was staged in 1958. It was inspired by the novel by South African writer, Peter Abrahams (b.1919) and dedicated to the racial conflicts in South Africa.
The Seven Beauties – Ballet Suite (1953), based on the legend of Shah Bachram Gur and his seven wives who lived in seven pavilions, is in five sections, the first being a Waltz that has a rhythmic opening introduced by the piano. The music soon quietens before the grand waltz enters, in many ways reminiscent of Khachaturian in its bold, bright textures, if not in orchestration which is more subtle. There is a moderate, flowing central section, again rhythmically like Khachaturian.
A horn solo marks out the lovely opening of the Adagio, a wistful movement where, part way through, the waltz rhythm gently and quietly shows itself momentarily. There are some lovely touches throughout. The third section is entitled The Dance of The Clowns and opens at a moderate tempo, building to a more dynamic and lively piece before ending quietly.
The fourth section The Seven Portraits has an Introduction that opens quietly and atmospherically, with eastern arabesques from the woodwind before running through a variety of moods including the sultry Indian Beauty, a lively Byzantine Beauty, with the flavour of an eastern dance, The Khorezmian Beauty, full of dance like, rhythmic bounce, a flowing Slavonic Beauty that varies rhythmically as it progresses with a distinctive Slavic feel, The Maghrebian Beauty with a lush melody and gentle rhythmic lilt that, again, hints at Khachaturian in its little touches, The Chinese Beauty that has a pizzicato opening with oriental intervals that dashes along in a light-hearted manner before the arrival of the final wife, The Most Beautiful of The Beauties that brings the most extended of melodies, a long breathed melody with gentle little woodwind arabesques. The music builds in drama becoming rich and passionate with a lovely oboe passage.
The ballet suite ends with The Procession which brings together the rhythms and textures of the composer's native Azerbaijan in a colourful finale.
The Path of Thunder ballet concerns the story of two ill-fated South African lovers of different races. The Ballet Suite No.2 (1958) draws seven sections from the ballet with General Dance building inexorably from a quiet opening, with piano and woodwind, into another colourful piece of ballet music. The Dance of The Girls with Guitars is introduced by an oboe melody, with harps representing the sound of guitars in this sultry, gently rhythmic piece that does, nevertheless, rise to a climax centrally. Karayev manages to introduce some attractive moments to lift the music.
Percussion open in the rhythmic Dance of the Black Community, a section dominated by woodwind and percussion with a distinctive section of piccolo and percussion and later flute, a repetitive rhythm punctuated by tremendous outbursts and subtle orchestral colouring. Night in the Stilleveld has oboes and cor anglais playing over hushed strings in another sultry piece, evocatively orchestrated by Karayev as it builds in strength before fading to the end. Rippling harps open Scene and Duet, with gentle woodwind and 'drips' of sound from the orchestra evoking dawn. Soon a gentle waltz arrives before the music slows and quietens. There is a duet for violin and cello portraying the two lovers as the music develops a passionate string melody that builds to a climax. The music quietens before a resounding coda.
A lovely Lullaby is introduced by the strings before woodwind and harp enter in a very attractive section. The finale, The Path of Thunder, opens with threatening piano chords underscoring the orchestra. The music slowly builds in drama and dynamics as it marches to its coda.
This may be lighter fare but it is attractively scored and full of engaging ideas. The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra under Dmitry Yablonsky gives excellent performances that bring out all the colour the music.
The recording is excellent and there are informative booklet notes.

BkiUeCU5qhLBXeFpc07l | Joanna Rostocka, z domu Melentowicz (ur. 2 grudnia 1924 w Warszawie, zm. 22 grudnia 2001 tamże) – polska prezenterka telewizyjna, dziennikarka.
Życiorys
Podczas powstania warszawskiego była sanitariuszką w szpitalu przy ul. Śliskiej 51. Absolwentka warszawskiej Wyższej Szkoły Służby Zagranicznej.
Była długoletnim sekretarzem Redakcji Teleturniejów TVP. W latach 60. występowała jako asystentka prezenterów w niemal wszystkich teleturniejach, jak np. Drzewko mądrości, Śladami Pitagorasa, 20 pytań, Kółko i krzyżyk, Wielka gra lub – niekiedy – jako samodzielna prezenterka Parada kłamców i blagierów oraz niektórych programów jednorazowych.
Po emigracji Ryszarda Serafinowicza samodzielnie prowadziła Wielką grę od 1969 do 1973, kiedy to jej miejsce zajął Janusz Budzyński. Głośnym echem odbiło się zwolnienie jej z pracy przez Macieja Szczepańskiego po tym, jak w prowadzonym przez siebie teleturnieju Wielka gra wystąpiła na antenie z wisiorkiem, który ponoć przypominał krzyż.
Joanna Rostocka zagrała samą siebie, czyli prowadzącą teleturniej Wielka gra w serialu Najważniejszy dzień życia z 1974 roku (odc. 2, pt. Gra).
Życie prywatne
Była żoną inż. Aleksandra Mariana Rostockiego (1922–1979), znawcy motoryzacji i dziennikarza motoryzacyjnego. Miała jednego syna.
Spoczywa na cmentarzu Powązkowskim (kw. T, rząd 2, grób 16).

BkiUcSXxK7Dgs_XS_E1Q | Montana State University recognizes students' prior learning by creating and documenting pathways for students to receive credit for learning that was completed prior to enrollment. From transfer credit to advanced placement and credit by examination, MSU develops standard methodologies to ensure consistency as we recognize students for their prior learning. You can learn more from the following resources:
College Level Exam Program (CLEP)
Montana State University awards credit toward graduation for successful performance in certain Subject Examinations of the College Level Examination Program conducted by the College Entrance Examination Board. Students may arrange to take these examinations on campus or at designated centers throughout the country. Passing grades are determined by Montana State University. These students receive credit and a P grade on the transcript for scores above the passing level; scores below the passing level are not entered on the transcript. CLEP examinations may not be used to replace a grade of a course previously taken. University Core requirements cannot be satisfied by the CLEP procedures. In general, a department will not give a challenge examination if a CLEP examination is available for the same course.
Courses that students can receive credit for through the CLEP program are listed in the MSU Catalog.
For more information about the CLEP program, please contact the MSU Testing Center at 994-6984, or email [email protected].
Advanced Standing by Challenge Exam
Challenge provides the opportunity to earn college credits and grade points without formal course enrollment. A student who has completed the work of a college course on his or her own initiatives and time, may, with the approval of the student's academic advisor, the instructor, the department heads, and the college deans, take a comprehensive examination in the subject matter of the course. Performance in the examination will become the basis for a grade in the course, and the results will be recorded on the student's permanent academic record at the end of the term which the challenge exam is taken. Official permission forms should be secured in advance from the Registrar's Office. Students must be registered at MSU when they take the challenge examination, and they must have passed ten credits of regular course work at Montana State University before the challenge grade will be recorded on their permanent records.
The challenge examination for credit in a course which is a prerequisite to a second course must be taken before enrollment in the second course. Students who have enrolled in a regular or an extension course and received a grade (including that of W) or have taken a regular or an extension course for zero credit may not challenge that course. Challenges are not permitted in any 290, 291, 292, 490, 491, 492 and 498 courses.
A fee of $30 per credit is assessed and must be paid prior to taking the challenged exam.
Each department has the authority to approve or deny a request to challenge any specific course. Please contact the department offering the course you wish to challenge to determine if a challenge test if available.
Students who take AP courses during high school and pass the respective AP exam with a score of 3 or higher may send these scores to the Office of Admissions to have them applied toward fulfilling some CORE and/or major requirements. To determine what AP courses Montana State University will accept for degree credit, please see the AP course equivalency guide.
Montana State University also participates in the Montana University System's Prior Learning Assessment Task Force and intends to follow those recommendations. For further information, please see the Montana Board of Regents PLA Policy and Procedures Manual. Montana State University is currently reviewing its practices and developing new methodologies to meet the Board of Regents Recommendations.

Gulistan Ladha2020-12-17T13:53:15+00:00
In October Ofcom confirmed a package of rules to implement the EECC covering landline, broadband, mobile, and pay-TV. Ofcom also consulted on several minor, consequential changes to the General Conditions of Entitlement, as well as changes to reflect the end of the transition period under the EU Withdrawal Agreement.
In a statement published today, Ofcom confirmed that the majority of minor changes to the General Conditions, Metering and Billing Direction and National Telephone Numbering Plan will come into effect in December 2021. However, the changes that reflect the end of the transition period under the EU Withdrawal agreement will come into force on 31 December this year.
In the new year, Ofcom plans to consult on a process for residential customers switching voice and/or broadband services, and will separately be providing an update on its work with the industry on the availability of a video relay service for British Sign Language users to enable effective communication with the emergency services.

It's just that when an average singer is put into a group with great singers, they seem untalented. Same goes for dancers and rappers. It's not an idol's lack of talent that make them look weak, it's the comparison with their naturally gifted members.

BkiUd3c4c3aisMlrHMzC | I'm expecting a delivery that has been "one stop away" since 8:30 this morning.
When it was west of Alexandria.
Now it's in Maryland, but hasn't moved in over an hour.
I'm more OK with vague but true than I am with specific but wrong.
Update: On closer inspection the delivery is in fact moving, but in a circle that ignores of the roads displayed on the map. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 4 | 1 |
BkiUdYA5qoTBCaJeBlK3 | I've been sitting on this blog for a while trying to find words worthy enough for the experience of Amy and Sonia's wedding in Nashville. I know it's shocking ME at a loss for words, haha! There are just so many feelings, and I can't quite piece them together in a way that would make sense without me talking in circles. The amount of love and comfort I felt between Amy and Sonia was radically awesome. That same feeling extended to every guest that shared in the celebration. I felt welcomed the instant I walked into their presence. During a quiet time at the dinner reception, I was sitting and conversing with Amy as she described her "tribe" feeling like home. I understood exactly why she feels overjoyed in her company as I watched the crew interacting so warmly loving towards one another.
I started the day meeting Sonia at their house while Amy was getting ready at a hotel in downtown Nashville. Originally the plan was for Sonia and I to be on the John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge waiting for Amy to walk up for the first look then going right on into the intimate elopement. After receiving a last minute phone call from Amy, plans shifted to her surprising Sonia by already being on the bridge when we arrived. The secret played out beautifully because Sonia, completely caught off-guard, noticed her bride standing in a white dress in the middle of the bridge and instantly burst into tears and took off running!
We gathered around in one of the overlooks as the rain fell, barges whistled horns, and on-lookers paused walks to witness the elopement. The vow exchanged was deeply personal and emotional. One minute we would be laughing out loud and the next crying. Following the intimate wedding, the brides and I were taxied around Nashville searching for fun murals scattered around town. Their photography vision was to capture their most real selves and their city. Mission accomplished!
To top of the fun-filled night, we headed a couple doors down and had a blast at the drag show at Play. For days and days after the wedding, I couldn't stop talking to everyone about Amy and Sonia's incredible day. I always seem to draw closer within my own and become a more enlightened me with each experience I have. Witnessing my first, and it better not be my last, drag show was truly an awakening moment. I gain an even more heightened feeling of comfort in my own skin, and this wasn't something I expected to get out of attending. The entertainment is likely pleasing to most people simply on the surface, but for me it ran so much deeper. I could see the glow shine out from the entertainers. This is a place where the Queens are praised for being who they choose to be; not who society tells them to be, not what any standards define them as, just them. It was creative expression of the inner self, an art, and that y'all is the most beautiful thing. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUdtC6NNjgBtygf3ci | Baru Bian creates history
Newly-minted Works Minister Baru Bian has pledged to give his level best in seeing efficiency, transparency and accountability in all the ministry's dealings.
The Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) Sarawak chairman said he is aware of the heavy responsibility that comes with the portfolio. He is delighted that Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad has put his trust in him to lead the Works Ministry.
"I am honoured to have been appointed as Minister of Works in the new Pakatan Harapan (PH) federal government led by Dr Mahathir. I am conscious of the fact that the responsibility attached to this portfolio is a heavy and onerous one," he said in a press statement following his ministerial appointment yesterday.
Baru extended his appreciation to Dr Mahathir for the latter's confidence in him.
"I will endeavour to do my best to ensure that the Works Ministry is efficient, transparent and accountable in all its dealings. I humbly ask for your prayers as I embark on this new job," he said.
Baru, 59, defeated Rita Insol of BN-PRS to win Selangau seat by a slim 486 vote-majority in the May 9 polls. He was first elected Ba Kelalan assemblyman in the 2011 state election, and was re-elected in the 2016 polls.
A lawyer who graduated from the University of Melbourne, Australia, Baru has been championing for native customary rights (NCR) in Sarawak.
Baru, a Lun Bawang, received his primary education in the interior areas of Sarawak – Long Tellang, Long Semadoh, and Long Napir until the early 1970s – before continuing his secondary education in Limbang.
After becoming a temporary teacher at SMK Medamit in Limbang, he pursued his tertiary education at Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM), Shah Alam, Selangor in Diploma in Law (DIL), and subsequently obtained a Bachelor of Law (LL.B) in 1986.
Subsequently, he became a trainee at the Messrs Rashid and Lee firm in Kuala Lumpur, and was admitted to the Malayan Bar as a lawyer and solicitor.
At the same time, he ventured into politics as an ordinary member of Parti Bansa Dayak Sarawak (PBDS). His involvement on the ground started in the state election in 1991 which saw him being defeated in the Lawas parliamentary seat.
The following year, he set up Messrs Baru Bian Advocates and Solicitors in Kuching.
In 2004, he resigned his post as PBDS Supreme Council member to contest as an Independent candidate in the Ba Kelalan by-election following the death of its incumbent Datuk Dr Judson Sakai in a helicopter crash. But he was defeated at the hands of the Barisan Nasional (BN) candidate Datuk Nelson Balang Rining.
In 2006, he contested on the Sarawak National Party (SNAP) ticket for the Ba Kelalan seat and was once again beaten by Balang of BN.
Two years later, Baru joined Parti Keadilan Rakyat Malaysia (PKR) as an ordinary member and in November 2009, he was appointed as Sarawak PKR chairman.
His success in the electoral area began to manifest in the 10th state election in 2011 and 11th state election (2016) when in both polls, he defeated BN candidate from Sarawak Progressive Democratic Party (SPDP) Willie Liau.
In the last general election he contested in the Selangau Parliamentary constituency and helped PKR to wrest the seat from Parti Rakyat Sarawak (PRS), to become a MP for the first time.
For the record, prior to the 14th general election, Datuk Henry Sum Agong created history when he became the first leader from the Lun Bawang community to be appointed as Deputy Minister of Domestic Trade, Cooperatives and Consumerism in the federal cabinet, and now Baru has been appointed as the Minister of Works to erase the record.
Baru has also represented four individuals seeking a decision from the Federal Court on whether their application to convert out of Islam should be heard in the High Court or Syariah Court.
Why is it so difficult to extradite n send Zakir away? In the first place he is not a citizen of Malaysia. Furthermore his speeches were anything but provocation n talking down on other religions. He advocate a non tolerant towards other people's beliefs. He has no place in Malaysia. GET HIM OUT!!!

Pakatan Harapan cabinet (2/7/18) : There are 50 (100%)- PM, DPM, Ministers & Dep Ministers – 33 Muslims 64 % ; 11 Chinese 22 % ; 3 Indians 6 % ;1 Singh 2 % ;1 Iban 2 % ; 1 Kadazadusun 2 %. Conclusions (1) Muslims – 64% & Non-Muslims – 36%; (2) d Muslims are still 28 % more than d non Muslims. Hence d Muslims don't have to worry that they are out-numbered by d non Muslims. ( Another Scenario ): If YB Nga ,YB Tony, YB Prabakaran & YB Liew come in as Dep. Ministers then there are 54 of them (100% ) – PM, DPM, Ministers & Dep Ministers. The % change would be as follows : 33 Muslims – 61 %; 14 Chinese – 26 % ; 4 Indians – 7 % ; 1 Singh – 2 % ;1 Iban – 2 % ;1 Kadazadusun – 2 %. . Conclusions: (1). Muslims – 61 % & Non Muslims – 39 %. (2). d Muslims are still 22 % more than d non Muslims. Hence d Muslims STILL don't have to worry that they are out-numbered by d non Muslims IF YB Nga , YB Tony, YB Prabakaran & YB Liew come in ( we will respect whatever decision that is made by Dr.Mahthir ) as Dep Foreign Minister, Dep Economy Minister & Dep Finance Minister respectively. Compared with Najib Razak's cabinet ( 25/6/2014) : 75 in total (100%) – PM, DPM, Ministers & Dep Ministers. Muslims – [ West Malaysia – 47 & East Malaysia – 4 ] 51= 68 % ; Chinese – 5 = 7 % ; Indians – 8 = 8 % ; Sabah & Sarawak (Non Muslims) – 13 = 17% . Muslims – 68% & Non Muslims -32 % . Conclusions : (1). There were 36% more Muslims than Non Muslims in Najib Razak's cabinet. Dr.Mahathir has done well 👍👍👍by improving d multi religion % composition. (2). All d Muslims in d current Pakatan Harapan are Bangsa Malaysia Melayu Muslims whom are good & true Muslims at heart ❤️ & who will definitely earn d respect from other races through their words & deeds/actions/lifestyles. Praise d Lord. Alhamdulillah that these Pakatan Harapan cabinet Muslims are NOT like d Bangsa Melayu UMNO/ PAS Islamic State Fanatic/Extreme Muslims & some of them are still breeding in PDRM, JAIS & JAKIM 😒.

We are all Malaysans. Stop the stupid racial composition and stop justifying that PH lawmakers are more honest and trustworthy than Umno Baru controlled BN's. Only time will tell who will discharge his or her duties competently and efficiently without fear or favour. Let PH proves it deseves our support and trust for next five years and beyond.

BkiUeBjxaJJQnK0WJqVr | On cask at the Bon Accord in Glasgow. Not sure what it is about this place, but beer always tastes better here. Pours near black with a thin (cask pour) and very creamy head that leaves a film coating everything. Nose is smooth cream coffee with some milk chocolate. Taste is so smooth and creamy with light roasted flavors and coffee that are very much softened by the lactose. The kind of beer that is much better on cask and at cellar temp. Very good and the best Williams Bros beer I've had.
A revisit. Tried this one last autumn and was pretty unimpressed but glad I've given it another chance. May be that my tastes have changed but more likely just in the right mood this time.
Looks the business with a fairly dense and robust head. Smells very tame when straight out of the fridge but opened up really nicely after half an hour or so. Typical malt and coffee aromas and a hint of something spicy/sweet that I can't put my finger on. Really enjoyed the second half of this once it had come to life a bit. Good beer and great value. Tidy stuff.
Deep black color with a thick thin caramel head with medium retention.
Predominant aroma with notes of roasted coffee beans, licorice, cream and mild orange zest.
Flavor with notes of coffee, more earthy than nutty, just a bit of caramel, mild lactic acid and citrus fruit peel on the background. Dry after taste with a mild hop bitterness.
Laidback and satisfying Oatmeal Stout, flavorful but not too roasted with coffee predominating and other background flavors giving a mild twist.
Definitely not a meme stout!
Rich and heavy. Tastes of smoky dark chocolate, caramel and with floral tones that remind me of Turkish Delight. Kev would be proud.
Pours dark brown with a off-white head. Aroma has notes of roasted malt, caramel, chocolate, floral, hint smoke. Taste is medium sweet and light to medium bitter with a long chocolate and caramel finish. Body is medium, texture is thin to oily, carbonation is soft. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 5 | 1 |

Andreas Heinecke, Ph.D.
Founder & CEO, Dialogue Social Enterprise GmbH, Hamburg, Germany.
Andreas Heinecke is the founder and CEO of Dialogue Social Enterprise (DSE), a Hamburg based social enterprise with team members working from Italy, India, France and Bulgaria. The objectives of DSE are to create jobs for disabled people, and to change the mindset towards otherness through exhibitions and Business Workshops. Andreas grew up in Baden-Baden, Germany, graduated with a degree in German literature and history in 1982 (PhD in 1989) and worked as a journalist at Südwestfunk (a German broadcasting company). There he was tasked to train a colleague, who had become blind by an accident and was fascinated by the world of the blind and shocked about the discrimination with which they are still confronted today. In 1988, Andreas became Vice-director of the "Stiftung Blindenanstalt" (Foundation for the Blind). Here he had a framework to roll out his ideas to establish a dialogue between blind and sighted which was not motivated by pity, insecurity and prejudice. The idea was simple: blind and sighted people should meet in darkness, taking the chance to switch roles and to overcome limits.
In 1996, Andreas established"Dialogue in the Dark" (www.dialogue-in-the-dark.com) internationally and opened his first permanent exhibition in Hamburg in 2000. "Dialogue in the Dark" exhibitions are now distributed worldwide through a social franchise-system, and has created more than 6,000 jobs for disabled and disadvantaged people in 30 countries and the exhibitions have led over 6 million visitors through total darkness into the world of the blind, seeding a better understanding, empathy and tolerance. Andreas has won various awards and became the first "Ashoka-Fellow" in Western Europe in 2005. Two years later he was nominated "Out-standing Global Social Entrepreneur" by the Schwab Foundation. In 2008, Andreas was nominated as a member of the World Economic Forum's Global Agenda Council on Social Entrepreneurship. | commoncrawl | 5 | 3 | 5 | 1 |

ENGINEERING SOCIETY
Our goal is to introduce students to the diversity of branches within the engineering field and to give engineering students ideas about the kinds of four-year institutions that they should choose when transferring. We do this by inviting faculty advisors from many other colleges and universities to tell us about their engineering programs. We have been inviting these faculty advisors from both local and upstate institutions.
Among our other activities is a campus-wide blood drive, in which we invite members of the campus community to donate blood. Once in a while, we hold barbecues during the club hours in the back of Cluster D. We invite all students to join us. Don't worry if you are not an engineering major. You can join us and get some valuable experience.

BkiUci04ubnjop7FEusK | With More TV Viewers Using a Second Screen, Entrepreneurial Filmmakers Are Finding Ways To Make Money From Second Screen Users, But This Requires An Understanding of "Metadata"
Have you ever wondered how search engines - like Google or Bing, or the search function in YouTube - help you to find content?
Most everyone understands that search engines look at the text in an online post to determine whether that link will be helpful to a user.
But what about images and videos?
What information does a search engine look up to find just the right YouTube video for me?
When I type in "scary ghost fat kid weird people silly cats" - how does Google use that text to find me videos?
How do search engines know what's in the millions of videos online?
The answer is metadata.
Metadata is defined - at its most basic - as data that describes other data.
For example, every video that is posted online (remember video is a form of data) probably has other descriptive data associated with it (the metadata).
At its simplest, metadata about a video will include information about the author, the date created and the file size. And you're probably also familiar with other forms of video metadata. For example, if you've ever posted a YouTube video, you've been prompted to add metadata - like giving the video a title and descriptive keywords.
In addition to this very basic level of metadata (e.g., title, keywords, author, date created, etc.), it also is possible to embed additional unseen tags throughout a video that convey information about what is going on at that particular moment in the video.
This form of scene-specific metadata is rapidly becoming an opportunity for filmmakers to make money.
How can metadata about a particular scene in a video be used to generate additional revenue?
To start with, it should be apparent that scene-specific metadata enables functionality that links a particular scene in a film to bonus content on a second screen. For example, it's possible to offer behind-the-scenes features that play on a second screen in sync with specific scenes on a DVD, as was done with the Oct. 2012 release of the DVD for Ridley Scott's film Prometheus:
So filmmakers can charge extra for access to bonus content that plays on a second screen.
In addition, as explained in a January 20th, 2013 post to Hackfest.TV (reposting a Richard Kastelein article from the Association of International Broadcasting Magazine), there are many other ways of monetizing user activity on second screens.
For example viewers are increasingly watching cable TV along with their portable devices, and traditional on-air 30 second TV spots are being ignored, but users are clicking on a second screen app that lets them research and buy a song download, or garment or appliance seen at that moment in a TV show - and metadata is crucial in making that second screen activity possible.
To sum up, as described in the January 20th, 2013 post to Hackfest.TV: "Itʹs now all about applying metadata not just to a whole piece of content, but individual chunks within it, such as a movie scene or song. Of course, this can be relevant both for production and search/ discovery... but the real value lies in providing contextual data on the second screen — whether that is curated or automated, factual or commercial." In other words, metadata embedded into TV shows is becoming increasingly important as marketers and others are finding ways to profit from the use of a second screen that is in use while a TV program is playing on the first screen.

BkiUc6w4ubngv4gExGAg | Four professional PUBG players receive three-year ban for using illegal software
By Digit NewsDesk | Published on Jan 03 2019
Pro PUBG players Christian "Cuhris" Narvaez, Liam "Liammm" Tran, Tyler "DevowR" Sti and Mark "Tefl0n" Formaro are now banned for three years from participating in all official esports competitions.
PUBG has banned four professional players for three years
This comes after an investigation of their accounts, which were suspended
The four players and their respective teams have also been disqualified from National PUBG League
There's no doubt that Playerunknown's Battleground is one of the most popular battle royale games right now. However, this popularity attracts many players that use unfair means to win and PUBG has been taking action against such players that use aimbots, radar hacks or any other types of cheats to get a leg up against the competition. On December 19, four professional PUBG players were banned in-game for suspected use of unauthorised software and after an investigation, PUBG found that these players were indeed cheating. As a result, pro-PUBG players Christian "Cuhris" Narvaez, Liam "Liammm" Tran, Tyler "DevowR" Sti and Mark "Tefl0n" Formaro have been banned from participating in all official esports competitions for three years, starting December 31, 2018.
The four players had qualified for the National PUBG League (NPL) pre-season. As per PUBG Esport's tweet, they used unauthorised third-party software during public matches and also during the Online Qualifiers for NPL in early December and while the players have been banned from participating from all esports competition, their teams (Almost, Death Row, Reapers and Totality) have also been disqualified from the NPL pre-season. These teams will be replaced by the next four teams on the overall standings from the NPL Qualifier Round 3, which was hosted between December 15 and 16, 2018. It's not clear whether the players are banned from all e-sports competitions or just PUBG esport events.
PUBG has also stated that in future, players who are banned in-game and after investigation are found using illegal software or means during professional esports competitions will be "banned from participating competitive play for a minimum of three years to a maximum of a lifetime starting on the date of completion of an official league investigation." PUBG Esports will release complete guidelines for a global penalty system at a later date.
PUBG recently implemented a new anti-cheat tool that banned over 30,000 PUBG players across PC, Xbox and PS4. Some professional players were also banned and some of them confessed to using cheats during the game. At the time, professional PUBG players for Sans Domicile Fixe have admitted to cheating, while 'Can Ozdemir' (gamer alias: TEXQS) from the Pittsburgh Knights is said to be under investigation for using the radar hack.

BkiUeSE4eIOjRrm8BxWr | Q: Python Keras Custom Loss, use feature from input in loss function I am trying to create a custom loss function for a Keras regression task.
I am predicting the points scored per minute in a game, and training on "matches" of variable lengths, in minutes. In an attempt to help the model learn, I would like to include the number of minutes the group played as part of the loss function, so we can properly "punish" for missing on groups that play for longer durations.
I know I need to use Keras Backend/tensor operations, but I'm stuck on how to multiply the minutes tensor. Here's some basic code what I have so far (pseudo code/skipped where not important):
def penalized_loss(minutes):
def loss(y_true, y_pred):
# Normal mean_squared_error
lost = K.mean(K.square(y_pred - y_true), axis=-1)
# Would like something like this where minutes are included, but as a valid tensor operation
not_valid_result = K.mean(K.square(y_pred - y_true) * minutes, axis=-1)
return lost
return loss
minutes = np.array(of some sort)
def baseline_model():
# create model here...
# ....
# Compile model

BkiUdgI5qhDBQzqNFUQP | Episode 174 features Tiffani Kittilstved who hails from Seattle, Washington. Tiffani just completed her clinical fellowship year to become officially licensed as a SLP. She works in private practice and has a caseload that includes about 20 kids who stutter. Tiffani is also actively involved in the stuttering community.
Tiffani leads a family chapter of the National Stuttering Association in Seattle and is also involved with FRIENDS. She is organizing a one-day FRIENDS conference to be held in April, also in Seattle.
Listen in as we talk about the journey Tiffani has had to become a SLP. She had a rocky road in college, first starting out as pre-med and then realizing that she didn't really like it. Tiffani realized she liked neuroscience and wanted to do something that involved stuttering. She switched majors to SLP and after her first class, the chair of the department told her she should quit, because parents would never want to work with her because of her stuttering.
She tells her story of deciding to pursue graduate school for SLP and doing a lot of research on "stuttering friendly universities." They are out there!
And we talk about covert stuttering, offering hope and empowerment to parents of kids who stutter, and the importance of counseling in good therapy. Fun fact about Tiffani – she has a twin brother and they both stuttered, but he recovered.
This was such a fun conversation with a very inspiring young woman who stutters. I am looking forward to meeting Tiffani in person in July at the annual NSA conference. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 5 | 1 |

This once again shows that Atomos really listens to it's customers. That is the one thing about the Shogun that registered the most complaints from the public.
The anticipated retail price will come in at around $1500. Figure that Atomos will come out with a barebones version as well. Many believe this new competitor in the market is a direct rebuttal to the PIX-E and Odyssey Recorders.

BkiUcs3xK6mkyCfOBthG | Small hydropower plants should not be blamed for floods: industry minister
Rào Trăng 4 Hydropower plan in the central province of Thừa Thiên-Huế. VNA/VNS Photo
HÀ NỘI — Since 2016, all small hydropower plant projects related to natural forest land have not been considered for approval, Minister of Industry and Trade Trần Tuấn Anh said at a Government cabinet meeting this week amid heated public debate about the impact of small hydropower plant construction on flooding and landslides.
He added that issues relating to forest and land in all power projects were examined carefully before the projects were included in national electricity development planning.
Before 2016, to generate a single MW, about 4-5ha of land was required but from 2016, no hydropower plant project was developed on natural forest land, he said.
In projects developed on plantation forest, on average 2ha was needed for every MW.
"Thanks to the Government's policies and directions, investors and local governments are better aware of forest land use and thus, minimise the use of forest land in their projects," the minister said.
Since 2017, all power projects with a capacity of less than 3 MW have not been eligible to be in national planning. Responding to discussions on the impact of small hydropower plants on landslides and floods, Anh said landslides also happened at places other than hydropower plants' locations.
"The operation of reservoirs and hydropower plants in localities were okay during the past time. For example, Đắk Mi 4 Plant did a good job in regulating floodwater and helping reduce flood levels a few days ago," he said.
Experts' views
Small hydropower plants could help deal with small floods but are little help amid massive floods like those that have occurred in recent weeks in central Việt Nam, experts have said.
Links between small hydropower plants and floods were discussed at a talk organised by Việt Nam Digital Communications last week.
At the talk, Dr Vũ Thanh Ca, a lecturer of Hà Nội University of Natural Resources and Environment said that there is no scientific basis to say hydroelectricity increases floods.
Many people believe hydroelectricity left negative impacts on the environment, ecosystem and increased erosion by blocking the flow of mud/sand and posed a huge risk of flash flooding if the dam fails, he said.
"However, if there were no hydroelectric dams, floods would still happen, or be even higher. In many cases, without a hydropower reservoir, floods would be much higher," he said.
In Việt Nam, reservoirs at hydropower plans were operated under regulations including those related to water storage and water discharge.
"Reservoirs can store water better than the forest," he said, adding that forests could hold a maximum 0.2m height of water while reservoirs could hold 4m.
"Water is an asset, hydropower managers do not want to discharge water," he said.
"Furthermore, small hydroelectric plants do not have a flood regulation function, so they discharge as much as the volume of water running into the reservoir. There is absolutely no reason for extra discharge," he added.
In any case, the amount of discharged water is always less than or equal to the amount of inflow water, so hydroelectricity does not create more floods.
In the central region, small hydropower plans helped ensure energy security when wind power and solar power failed to meet demand, he said.
However, Ca also noted that in some cases, the construction of the hydropower plant was taken advantage of for deforestation or illegal construction of roads or factories.
Nguyễn Tài Sơn, a senior consultant in hydropower plant projects, said small hydropower plants usually had small reservoirs or no reservoirs, so they were not designed to regulate flooding.
Only major hydropower dams with huge reservoirs could store a significant amount of floodwater, thus effectively reducing and preventing floods. The dam at Hòa Bình Hydropower plan in the north is an example as since the dam was built, people living along the Hồng (Red) River no longer suffered major floods.
Meanwhile, small hydropower plants in the central province in some cases helped reduce floods as they stored a volume of floodwater and discharged floodwater at lower speeds, he said.
Sơn said that in hydropower projects, the reservoir was an important item that affected the environment and the safety of hydropower projects, so the reservoir construction must be considered carefully before an investment licence was granted.
Ca said when it came to hydropower, project assessment and approval must be done as seriously as possible, particularly environmental impacts assessment and plans to mitigate the impacts of reservoir/dam construction on the environment.
He said bottom outlets should be included in the dam construction project to release mud/sand to lower areas as it was also a kind of resource.
"Water discharging schemes must be developed, approved and implemented to minimise the risk of floods and impacts on the ecosystem," he said.
Đỗ Đức Quân, Vice Director-General of the Electricity and Renewable Energy Authority under the Ministry of Industry and Trade, said that since 2016, the ministry had not approved any hydropower project on natural forest land.
The ministry and localities were reviewing hydropower development planning in which hundreds of hydropower projects would be removed from planning as they occupied a lot of land or possibly left negative impacts on the environment, he said.
There are more than 800 hydropower plans of all kinds across Việt Nam including about 600 in operation, he said, adding that once developed, they had to satisfy requirements in laws such as the Law on Construction or Law on Electricity.
Answering the local press on the sidelines of the National Assembly session late last month, Minister of Natural Resources and the Environment Trần Hồng Hà said the principle of his ministry is "not to develop small-scale hydropower at any cost".
"There are always two sides of a coin. The environment ministry doesn't encourage the development of small-scale hydropower at any costs," he said.
"Ministries and agencies have proposed cutting more than 400 small hydropower reservoirs. In the future, we will be very cautious when building small hydropower plants," he said. VNS

BkiUbPXxK7kjXLlzaMv2 | Connecticut Department of Labor Issues Stop Work Orders at Walmart Stores
By The Law Offices of Schafer & Schafer, LLP
| May 08, 2013
Wethersfield – On February 1, 2013, The Connecticut Department of Labor's Division of Wage and Workplace Standards issued Stop Work Orders to five companies that were working on construction projects at Walmart stores in Putnam and Brooklyn, Connecticut.
According to Sharon M. Palmer, the state labor commissioner, the agency issued Stop Work Orders when it was discovered that several contractors were unable to provide proof of workers' compensation insurance, or they were misclassifying their workers as independent contractors. Stop Work Orders were issued at the Putnam site to the following companies: United Drywall Systems of Westport, MA, Mocci Concrete Construction of Rindge, NH, G. Logan of Dighton, MA, and J&R General Construction of Stonington, CT. For the Brooklyn site, Stop Work Orders were issued to J Hatchett Masonry of Springfield, MA.
In the press release issued by CT Department of Labor Communications Office, Palmer said that employers will misclassify workers as independent contractors with the intention of avoiding their obligations under state and federal employment laws covering workers' compensation, unemployment taxes and payroll reporting. Palmer said that when the agency suspects misclassification abuse, it issues a Stop Work Order, which results in the halting of all construction activity at the cited company's worksite. It also results in a $300 civil penalty for each day the company does not carry workers' compensation coverage as is required under Connecticut workers' compensation laws.
"We take it very seriously when an employer fails to recognize their workers as employees of their company because they avoid providing certain protections, such as workers' compensation," said Palmer. "Unfortunately, when an employer does not pay its fair share and a worker gets hurt on the job or is laid off, the state's taxpayers ultimately foot the bill."
Were you hurt on the job?
Were you hurt on the job only to find out that your employer doesn't have workers' compensation insurance as is required by law? Or, did your employer wrongfully classify you as an independent contractor in order to avoid having to cover your work-related injuries?
If you were injured at work and are unsure if your employer has maintained workers' compensation insurance, we urge you to pick up the phone and contact a Stamford workers' compensation attorney from the Law Offices of Schafer & Schafer, LLP right away. As an injured worker, you have legal rights and we are here to ensure that you receive the medical treatment and compensation you deserve during this difficult time. This way you can take care of yourself and your family, and comfortably recover from your injuries without having to worry about how you will pay your bills. Call us today; we look forward to helping you through this challenging situation.

I was of two minds about requesting the loan of the B-1s. First, at $15,000/pair, they're above my usual price range. More important, I was concerned that, given the greater complexity of a three-way crossover, the larger speaker, with tweeter, midrange, and woofers front and rear would not sound as beguilingly coherent as the two-way V-1.5, with its simpler crossover. I am delighted to report that I was quite wrong, and in more than one respect.

Of course, the Latinists among my readers (all three of them) already know that the ancient Romans would have carved this column's title "PUERNATUSEST." (Not that the Romans gave a fig about that particular puer until much later . . . ) All in capital letters, because lower-case (ie, minuscule) letters were not invented until scribes in the Middle Ages wanted to write faster by not having to lift their pens so often between strokes. Spaces between words also came after Roman times.
Spectator Sports, Good and Bad
There is something about the performance of music that is in the nature of a spectator sport. By this I do not mean big-arena stagecraft and lights and fireworks and dance routines. I mean the actual making of the music.
To see Eric Johnson's fingers flying over his Fender Stratocaster as he hits "Cliffs of Dover" out of the park one more time is to enjoy something that is every bit as much an athletic performance and a spectator sport as baseball is. There is a thrill to watching people do difficult things exceptionally well, things that most of us can only take random sidelong swipes at.

Vivid speakers change the game. But first a great piano recording: Tributaries: Reflections on Tommy Flanagan (CD, IPO IPOC1004), from the late Sir Roland Hanna (his title was an honorary knighthood granted by Liberia). I missed this wonderfully crafted solo-piano recording when it first came out in 2003, and still would not have known about it today except that a publicist sent me an e-mail saying that he was cleaning out his shelves of leftover promotional copies. I quickly sent back a request, in large part because one of my Desert Island recordings is Jim Hall's Concierto, originally released in 1975 on the CTI label, and on which Hanna had played. Concierto has since been reissued in digital form many times, most successfully, as far as I can tell, by Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab on an SACD (UDSACD 2012) that includes new tracks, as well as alternate takes of tunes on the original release.

BkiUa_o5qhLACA4PuQRR | The chief digital officer at Stanford University's Graduate School of Business is out of a job days after campus officials revealed that the school had failed to disclose a huge data breach of personal information that came to light only after a student made it known.
Ranga Jayaraman, who also served as associate dean of the business school, sent a deeply contrite email to colleagues on Saturday morning and said he was leaving Stanford after six years on the job.
Stanford officials said Friday they have no evidence that personally identifiable information had been accessed.
A student in the business school discovered the massive glitch in February. Adam Allcock, an MBA student, alerted technology officials when he asked them questions about the data. Thousands of confidential student financial aid records were visible within the business school, as was employee information from 2008 — Social Security numbers, birth dates and salaries of nearly 10,000 employees and former employees — from mid-2016 through early March, when the tech team patched it.
Meanwhile, Allcock downloaded the financial-aid data and analyzed how the business school awarded scholarship money. As The Chronicle reported last week, Allcock's study showed that despite the business school's claim that it awarded tuition discounts only on the basis of student need, and never on the basis of merit, for years the school actually handed out deep discounts to non-needy applicants it hoped to attract: those with backgrounds in finance, for example, and women.
In October, Allcock presented his 378-page analysis to Jonathan Levin, the business school's dean, alerting officials of the data breach for a second time.
This time, no one sat on the information. Stanford officials looked into the matter and did not dispute Allcock's analysis. They also confirmed a separate data breach revealed last month by student reporters at the Stanford Daily who found that confidential files of more than 200 employees and alumni — including anonymous information from personal counseling sessions — had been visible to users at dozens of other college campuses.
On Friday, Stanford officials apologized for their poor handling of confidential information and sent thousands of notification letters to those affected. A day earlier, Levin, the business school dean, announced that the school will be "significantly more transparent" about how tuition discounts are awarded.
Allcock declined to comment Tuesday on the fallout of his discovery.
Jayaraman told The Chronicle that he never intended to deceive anyone by not telling the business school dean or campus officials about the data breach.
Today, he said, he would make a different decision. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 5 | 2 |

BkiUdUI5qdmDKh-wsqZ1 | Whose Data is it Anyway?
When a publisher and the firm managing its subscription database fell out over the database manager's quality of service, the publisher gave the database manager a month's notice to terminate the contract. In response, the database manager refused to release the publisher's data until its outstanding invoices were paid.
The publisher refused to pay the invoices until it had regained its data and the impasse resulted in a trip to court. The database manager argued that the notice given was unreasonable and that three months' notice should have been given. The publisher added to its claim the cost of reconstituting the database of subscribers.
In court, the judge ruled that the notice given was unreasonably short and that the database manager was within its rights to withhold the data until the invoices were settled. The withholding of the property of a debtor until payment is received is termed 'exercising a right of lien' over the property retained. The publisher appealed, claiming that data is not property over which a lien can be exercised.
The Court of Appeal ruled that a database is not tangible property which can be subject to a lien and that the database manager had not exercised the degree of control over the data needed to allow it to deprive the publisher of the right to access its data after the contract was terminated.
However, the appeal against the decision regarding reasonableness of the notice period failed: three months was ruled to be an appropriate notice period.
This case illustrates the potential for unnecessary litigation that exists when contractual terms are not tightly drawn at the beginning – especially as regards the termination of contracts.

This one surprised me. Outstanding flavor, mild-to-medium bodied. Smooth, easy draw. Solid construction that produced an even burn and held a long, tight ash. Because of the low cost, I was not expecting too much, but I LOVED this cigar!
Very decent smoke for the price.
This is a great stick, fantastic burn, a great perfume and rich Nicaraguan flavor. Will be a mainstay from here on!
Interesting without being too bold. Perfect balance.
A well rounded smoke I haven t enjoyed in a long time. Found a new favorite smoke.
Very enjoyable smoke and good price too. A nice surprise. Not overpowering, a just right package of flavor that leaves you satisfied right down to the nub. I can't afford to smoke 10 cigars every day. But regardless of the price, I would recommend these to all.
I received a box as a freebie and thought they were decent, medium-strength, somewhat sweet maduros out of the box. After letting them rest a couple of months in a humidor, they became great. This is the first cigar I bought a box of, and have now bought two.
One of the best maduro's Ihad in a long time, betterthan most expensive maduro's out there, this is top self, very good.
Great draw. Well balanced, a little peppery at first but by 1/3 smooth, light spice, leather, razor sharp & fast burn, above average smoke production, medium strength. I enjoyed it in the morning with coffee and Irish cream, also great around sunset with a nice Brandy. Recommend this as a first Maduro for new smokers. Got a little charged my first 1/2 I was puffing too hard and fast . Cut 1/2 then re-ligh. smooth and even down to the nub. NOT a complex maduro but a consistent performer SUPERBLY priced. GREAT VALUE!!! get a box. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 4 | 1 |

BkiUc_LxaKgTq1C9OHDn | Today, the United States District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi approved the joint motion for unitary status filed by the Department of Justice and the Wayne County School District in Mississippi. At the department and school district's request, the court dismissed this longstanding school desegregation case. The school district serves close to 3,500 students and has been operating under a desegregation order since 1970.
In 2006, the court entered an order specifically prohibiting the use of race in classroom assignments at Waynesboro Elementary School, one of the district's four elementary schools. In 2012, after concerns continued about Waynesboro's classroom assignment practices, the court approved a consent order directing the district to randomly assign students to classrooms in the school. The district has successfully used the new classroom assignment procedures for the last four school years.
The department recently determined that the district had complied fully with the terms of the 2012 consent order and is therefore eligible for unitary status and dismissal of the case.
Currently, the department monitors 178 school districts under active desegregation orders. Over the last year, several school districts under desegregation orders have successfully sought unitary status from the courts and the cases have been dismissed.
Promoting school desegregation is a priority of the department's Civil Rights Division. Additional information about the division is available at www.justice.gov/crt. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 4 | 2 |

BkiUe2PxK6-gDw5Aw1KO | #BettyWhiteChallenge Trends on Social Media Ahead of Icon's 100th Birthday
(FeaturedNews.com) – Social media challenges are not always as negative as the increasingly bizarre TikTok challenges that are making life difficult for teachers across the country. The Ice Bucket Challenge was one of the first to impact the world in a positive way as the 2014 Facebook challenge raised millions of dollars for the ALS Association, and social media has again stepped up to provide an outlet for Betty White fans to honor the actress as what would have been her 100th birthday approaches.
Betty White's Legacy On and Off Screen
Betty White's roles in The Golden Girls, Password, The Proposal, and countless other projects have inspired generations, and she was also known for her work advocating for animals. Her platform brought her opportunities to partner with several animal shelters, zoos, and other animal-related organizations over the years. She also created the Betty White Wildlife Rapid Response Fund, which provides funding for assisting animals following national disasters.
#BettyWhiteChallenge Unites Fans Around the World
Photos and collages of Betty White with the animals she advocated for popped up all over social media in the days following her death, which reminded fans of one of her biggest off-screen passions and inspired a simple way to continue her legacy on what would have been her 100th birthday on January 17. The #BettyWhiteChallenge asks fans to make a $5 donation to a local animal shelter or similar organization on January 17 in honor of Betty White. The challenge quickly spread across Twitter, Instagram, and other social media platforms, which means that Betty White's memory has the potential to reach the four-footed friends she loved in thousands of cities around the world one last time.
American Humane CEO Robin Ganzert reflected on Betty White's advocacy and commented that, "Betty dedicated herself to protecting and improving the quality of life for animals worldwide…on behalf of the millions of animals whose lives you have touched, thank you, Betty!"

BkiUbFc5qhDACtS7fbJo | This is just money down the drain. Let me tell you why.
Web design is evolving rapidly – our expectations from sites is changing too. What may have looked good two, three or more years ago won't cut it today. Think about your customers, who'll have the latest tablets and smartphones. Will they think it works for them?
Clients are surprised when a developer isn't very keen about doing the work. But good developers take pride in what they do. They know good sites begin from the ground up, not by polishing rusty old code or patching on some new page, fancy slider or glossy picture.
Ironically, if you still go ahead with your changes, you'll find it won't be cheap. Nor will those results you expected materialise. You'll ask for more changes, maybe find another developer and waste even more money.
A good developer will design you a responsive site that works over phones, tablets and PC. Something your old site never will.
Beware of wasting your money – and beware of the developer who'll let you. Today's successful business needs to have an effective marketing channel. Don't throw your money down the drain! | c4 | 4 | 2 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUakjxK2li-Hhr9aCz | During middle school, students should have meaningful experiences that inspire, build connections, and help them see themselves in STEM. Students also need to build a solid academic foundation to succeed in high school math and science coursework, as well as the ability to apply STEM knowledge and skills to solving real-world problems.
Out-of-school-time experiences provide important opportunities for engagement in STEM. The percentage of 8th-grade students who participate in science activities not for schoolwork provides a measure of informal education.
Shoring up teachers' skills is a high leverage point for increasing the number of students who attain STEM degrees. Classes taught by teachers licensed for the assignment provides a measure of the supply of qualified STEM teachers. As discussed on the "Best practices" tab, research literature also indicates substantial changes are needed in teacher preparation and professional development.
Proficiency in 8th-grade math provides a measure of whether students are on track to pursue more challenging math coursework in high school. | c4 | 5 | 3 | 5 | 3 |
BkiUcg3xK0fkXQzmLUN_ | So happy to be at home. The week in St. Louis was really challenging. I won't go into too much detail other than to say that the weather was terrible and other factors made the trip even more intense. However we did end on an up beat. And I can say that movies played a part of that. We watched "The Bucket List", and even though it was the second time I saw it it was a lot more profound this time. And mostly it was because it seemed pretty uncanny in the circumstances in which I watched it. And once again it reiterated how the "Truths" of movies can really offer a sense of perspective to your life, that ironically your own life circumstances only rarely due. Now obviously that's because movies are concentrated slices of life, and are designed to create cathartic experiences in audiences. That coupled with the fact that oftentimes it's easier to assimilate life experiences when you're watching it from the safety of a third person vantage point really helps one to truly "see" life as it is.I was also able to complete Robert McKee's "Story" which is a primer on the art of screenwriting. Even though I've completed 13 feature scripts as well as countless shorts. I felt like I got a lot out of the book. Some just reaffirmed what I'd known after years of writing, but it was good to see other things laid out and broken down. It's a long book, but fairly thorough so I definitely recommend it. And I felt it was good to see that the script for "The Test" is solid in the form that McKee refers to. I mean as a story teller you have to know intrinsically that your story works, but it's nice to see that it does adhere to a the classical form. The key is that it feels fresh, yet familiar. That's really the key. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 5 | 2 |

BkiUdfA5qhLA_wzE9PG9 | Running until this Sunday 17 January, Lumiere London has taken the city by storm! Myself and some friends went last night and it surely didn't disappoint; despite the cold.
Having mentioned Lumiere London in my article with Match.com, It was high on my list of things to do in London and having been, I have never felt more proud to be a Londoner.
London is ground to a halt every night from 6.30pm until 10.30pm as international artists have dazzled our streets and buildings. The festival curated by creative producers Artichoke, stretches from Kings Cross to the West End, in extravagant locations such as Regent Street, Grosvenor Square and London's Leicester Square. The festival features more than 20 pioneering artists who have transformed some of our city's iconic buildings. Artists have used the city as their canvas to map some of their artistic talents and let London shine bright as thousands of visitors and tourists are to visit the festival.
Some of the festival's highlights are in Leicester Square and Oxford Circus. The Garden of Light (TILT) has transformed London's entertainment of epicentre with an exotic garden of giant illuminated plants. From giant flowers, tropical trees and a vast array of colours, Leicester Square was almost unrecognisable. Janet Echelman from America has created one of the festival's most famous installations. The aerial sculpture is hung high-above the ground and is constructed from thousands of feet of knotted twine. It was inspired by the 2011 Japanese Tsunami which temporarily shortened the length of the day by 1.8 micro-seconds through the earth's vibrations.
Take a look at some of my stand-out installations! | c4 | 4 | 1 | 4 | 1 |
BkiUdBY5qoTAjdlTMO4_ | The Department of Art and Art History (ART) offers two separate but interrelated programs. Art history, leading to the BA, affords the opportunity to study the arts of Asia, the Pacific, and the West in a historical and cultural context. The art studio programs provide students either with a broad-based, liberal arts approach via the BA or with a more focused studio specialization leading to the BFA. The latter is considered more appropriate for students intending to pursue the MFA at the graduate level.
The department is housed in an excellent three-story facility with painting studios, photography and computer labs (Macintosh equipped for graphic design and digital imaging, PCs for electronic arts), and fully equipped printmaking, sculpture, ceramics, fiber, and glass facilities. The UH Art Gallery is a prominent feature of the department's programs. Six or seven major exhibitions are presented each year, many of which have received national recognition. Visiting artist programs supplement the regular course offerings.
Advising is mandatory for all art and art history majors. For advising, see the associate chair, Kate Lingley, in Art 142A, email: lingley@hawaii.edu.
This broad-based art degree provides students with a choice of a studio focus, where a wide range of visual arts media can be explored, or an art history focus, where the visual arts are studied in a historical context.
For information on a Bachelor Degree Program Sheet, go to www.manoa.hawaii.edu/ovcaa/programsheets/.
The BFA degree in art is designed for those students who desire a focused preparation in the visual arts or who intend to pursue an advanced degree or career in art. Areas of specialization include: ceramics, digital imaging, drawing, electronic arts, fiber, glass, graphic design, painting, photography, printmaking, and sculpture. Students are encouraged to cross media boundaries, and qualified students may opt to construct an individualized inter-media plan of study with faculty guidance and approval.
Students seeking admission to candidacy for the BFA must be a BA Art major and pass a portfolio review, which can take place only after the following requirements have been met.
Completion of art studio core requirements: 113 and 116.
Completion of art history core requirements: ART 175, 176, and 302.
Completion of one 200-level studio elective not in student's chosen area.
Completion of a minimum of 9 credit hours in chosen area with an average of B (not B-) or better.
Completion of 18 credits in UH Manoa core requirements exclusive of art department courses.
All studio areas will hold an annual BFA Portfolio Review in late spring, at least one week prior to registration.
Courses used to meet General Education Core requirements cannot be credited toward the minor.
Students interested in pursuing a teaching career in elementary and secondary art education should seek advisement from the College of Education.
The Department of Art and Art History offers two master's degrees, the MA in art history–Plan A (thesis) or Plan B (non-thesis), and the MFA in studio–Plan A only.
The MA in art history emphasizes the arts of Asia and the Pacific. Applicants for the degree must hold a bachelor's degree from an accredited U.S. college or university or its equivalent from a recognized foreign institution. An undergraduate major in art history is desirable, but not necessary. In support of the application for admission, all applicants are required to send three original letters of recommendation, a sample of written work (preferably an art history seminar or term paper), and General Test scores from the GRE directly to the art department prior to the application deadline. The application form for graduate admission should be sent under separate cover to Graduate Division.
Students intending to engage in studies leading to the PhD are strongly encouraged to complete course work beyond the minimum MA Plan A requirements.
In either plan, up to 9 credits, with advisor's approval, may be earned in appropriate advanced courses in other UH Manoa departments.
The more suitable plan will be mutually determined by the faculty and the student.
Students must also demonstrate a reading knowledge in a foreign language appropriate to their field of specialization, chosen in consultation with the area advisor. For more information on the MA in art history, contact Paul Lavy, PhD, email: paullavy@hawaii.edu.
The MFA is the terminal degree in studio art. The normal period of study is three years in residence. Areas of specialization include ceramics, electronic arts, fiber, glass, painting, photography, printmaking, and sculpture. Although most MFA applicants apply to one of the above media specializations for admission, students may take electives in more than one medium and are encouraged to investigate new genres.
Applicants for the MFA must present evidence of a BFA or a BA with a strong studio art and art history background. The Department of Art and Art History acknowledges that some MFA applicants may not fit traditional criteria and will thus consider exceptional bachelor's degree recipients that exhibit relevant backgrounds, strong commitment, and distinct potential in the visual arts. An applicant with a transcript of 25% or more nontraditionally graded undergraduate or graduate credit hours must submit GRE scores and course performance report forms.
Supporting material of 20 samples of original work should be submitted on a cd (still images in jpeg format, no more than 1.5 mb each and video samples in .mov format) that illustrates abilities in an area of specialization, as well as potential for development within the scope of the department's facilities and personnel. This visual material and three letters of recommendation should be sent to the Department of Art and Art History. The application form for graduate admission should be sent under separate cover to Graduate Division.
Deficient or incompatible undergraduate preparation may result in admission on a conditional basis and will require, at the discretion of the graduate faculty, additional course work.
After acceptance into the graduate program, admission to candidacy for the MFA degree will be based upon results of the graduate evaluation and a positive review of course work. Those failing must successfully pass on their second attempt or they will be dismissed from the program.
Failure to meet the requirements for continued registration or to show progress in course work will lead to probation and/or dismissal from the graduate program.
24 credit hours with 6 credits each in ART 611, 612, 613, 614. Conditional or unclassified graduate students may enroll only in ART 611 for a maximum of 6 credits. Consent of instructor is required.
Art courses numbered 300 and above and not required at the undergraduate level in the area of specialization are acceptable for graduate credit. Elective courses also may be selected from any other UH Manoa department, provided such study is deemed useful and pertinent to the student's degree plan. MFA students wishing to take ART 699 must petition through Graduate Division to apply it toward the degree. All elective courses require appropriate preparation and the consent of the instructor and graduate student's advisor. For more information on the MFA program, contact gradart@hawaii.edu.

Our Case Involvement
Rutledge v. Little Rock Family Services
Catholic Social Services came under fire from the city of Philadelphia, Pa. when it stated it would not place foster children in homes of same-sex couples. Even though they were actually never asked to do so, Catholic Social Services lost their contract with Philadelphia.
Bruni v. City of Pittsburgh
Pro-life advocates in Pittsburgh peaceably engage in one-on-one conversations with, and pass literature to, women about one of the most important decisions they will ever make—whether to kill their unborn baby. They also conduct prayer vigils. However, a Pittsburgh ordinance bars them from doing so within 15 feet of entries to abortion clinics, largely crippling their efforts.

BkiUcejxK7Ehm2ZQ0JjU | 2,310 km bicycle trip started in the capital Lisbon along the Atlantic coast northwards to Spain, via inland cycling Portugal´s highest point and all the way south to southeasternmost Portugal, along the Algarve and the southern Atlantic coast back to Lisbon.
Do you like Cycling Portugal?
Having landed at Lisbon airport, we hid our wheel cartons in the stairwell of an underground car park, hoping that in five weeks' time they might still be there. Then we started cycling towards the center of the capital. Along the banks of the Rio Tejo we pedal through the city traffic to the west and under the bridge of July 25 we slowly left the city center and drove on via Estoril to Cabo Raso, where we turned north the next morning.
On some very beautiful road with a view over the sea we cycled to the westernmost point of Europe, the Cabo da Roca and then on the N247 with still very dense traffic further north over Ericeira and Praia de Santa Cruz, where we took a bath break on the beach , The slightly farther north Cabo Carvoeiro we left and drove instead forced on the IP6 in heavy traffic through Obidos and Caldas da Rainha, before we finally drove back on smaller road to Foz de Arelho back to the coast. In Nazaré we drove through crowded crowds due to bullfighting and further north there was finally a bit more nature and less city and traffic. So we rolled over little busy roads through pine forests, sometimes on very good roads, sometimes on pothole road to the north. Unfortunately, large parts of the forest had fallen victim to forest fires and so it went for some kilometers through burnt area. A campground we found easy in the evening.
About Figueira da Foz we continued through dune landscapes without traffic northwards along miles of pristine beaches along. That did not change even north of Aveiro, after we had crossed with a small passenger boat on the peninsula northwest of Aveiro. No hotel buildings, no beach chairs, no people! If you wanted a whole coast for yourself, that was right!
In some strong headwinds we cycled through beautiful small towns along lonely beaches along with surprisingly low traffic to Porto, where we drove along the banks of the Rio Douro into the city center. Along the beautiful promenade we drove to the famous three-storey bridge and then waived in the center but on a visit to one of the numerous port wineries, because we did not want to leave our bikes unattended. Across the lowest level of the bridge we reached the other side of the river, where we paused with a glass of port wine, before returning to the coast along the northern shore.
On very small and winding roads, partly with jogging cobblestones, we went to Povoa de Varzim the next day and later on to Esposende, although better, but not particularly interesting route. Further north the landscape became more beautiful and a bit above the coast we cycled partly with beautiful views to Viana do Castelo, where we said goodbye to the sea, because here we wanted to turn inland.
Along the Rio Lima we drove east in increasing heat, because there was not a cooling breeze from the sea for the time being. Passing through the beautiful town of Ponte de Lima, we continued northeastwards, steadily uphill, making it hot and exhausting and occasionally cooling off in one of the washhouses with springs that regularly found their way to the side of the road. We drove deeper into the National Park Peneda-Geres and then continue uphill and past reservoirs through rocky mountains on wild horses and bulls over the border to Spain. After a few kilometers downhill we turned south, climbed in steep, shadowless bends again a pass at 750 m and traveled back to Portugal at the Portela do Homem. After a swim in the very beautiful, but with visitors very overcrowded waterfalls, it went over the 855 downhill to 450 m. Shortly before the main road a shortcut on the map, which would save us a long dangling westward, but it should be a nasty drudgery, as we had to push the wheels strenuous on very steep roads uphill and reached the N103 after two hours. This we then continued strenuous uphill and downhill over 920 m altitude east to the large reservoir at Viado de Baixo, where we pitched our tent and spent the rest of the day swimming and sunbathing.
We drove further east to Chaves, here relinquished time to travel to the extreme northeast of the country and thus turned off to the south. From now on, it should go south to the Algarve!
On the N2 we cycled on only moderately uphill and downhill leading route, partly again through completely burned forests in heat to Vila Real. Further south we drove on beautiful route through vineyards and great panorama over Peso da Régua down to 70 m altitude and again exhausting and hot at 950 m via Lamego and Castro Daire. On the way south to Videu we went through valleys with many construction sites. A highway should soon span the valleys on monstrous bridges. It continued southeastward over Gouveia exhausting uphill and downhill, before we started the morning early in the morning with the drive of the highest mountain in Portugal, the Torre. With intermediate descents over several hundred vertical meters we climbed gradually the steeper road, past reservoirs and the only four ski lifts in Portugal, up to the highest point at 1,993 m altitude, over which the road also smooth. Heading towards Covilha, it then descended through bizarre rocky landscapes to 1,400 m, where we set up our tent for a cold night and for the first and only time on this trip really needed our sleeping bags.
For reasons of time, we decided to shorten our route to the south in Covilha something, because in order to avoid the highway, we would have had to go in zigzags to the south in major detours. Actually, a bike ride was not possible, but we managed it with some penetrance and smile thanks to friendly railway officials then. Of course, there was no tariff for the bikes, so we could even take them for free! On a beautiful route, it went through the Portuguese interior southward, later along the Rio Tejo, which could be seen only from the train or boat, to Abrantes.
South of Abrantes we cycled through a much flatter landscape, the wind was stronger and so we pedal in increasing gusts past fields and pastures, until an unfortunate chain of gusts of wind, oncoming traffic, overtaking truck and at a short distance brought us down the roadside! Luckily, nothing serious happened! Terror and grazes were soon forgotten.
A little more cautiously, we cycled on and crossed the border to the Alentejo, the land of cork oak forests. Through olive groves and past cork oaks, we headed south over Évora and then more monotonously along endless fields, cork oak and eucalyptus forests along and through more and more Arabian villages to Beja. On a side road and through endless fields we went via Salvada to the N122 and on this further south in the Parque Natural do Vale do Guadiana over bizarre hills on a very beautiful route. The place Mértola we passed on the European day of car-free traffic and so we enjoyed a completely traffic and exhaust-free Ortsdurchquerung!
A little further south, we turned east again and drove to Alcoutim on the border river Rio Guadiana, where we let our eyes glide over to Spain. We followed the river from here always south on a very beautiful route, but in great heat. At Foz de Odeleite the road left the river again and after a steep climb and a hilly ride through beautiful steppe landscape we finally reached the sea after eleven days. We were in the Algarve!
In Vila Real de Santo António, in the southeast of Portugal, on the border with Spain, we stocked up our supplies in a supermarket and headed west. With unfortunately a lot of traffic, we passed the hotel castles of Monte Gordo and numerous other built coastal towns, always on the side of the main road, which we could not leave for lack of alternative. Sure, there might be many beautiful bays on the way, but they were not accessible to us because we could not leave the bikes unattended on top of the cliff at the beginning of a long staircase. From the road, the ocean was rarely seen and so it went to Faro by scenic route not very attractive.
In order to avoid the even worse traffic in Faro, we turned north in Olhao, but a major construction site for the stadium for the European Football Championship next year seemed to want to destroy our plan. We wandered over the huge construction site area for a while and finally found a way out. Some time later, we pitched our tent in Quarteira on a campsite by the sea and went for a swim.
As far as Albufeira, there was not much change in the rather undeveloped landscape, at least not at the one we could reach. In a souvenir shop, we asked the friendly shopkeeper, which beaches in the Algarve because for us easily accessible and still as original as possible and not so crowded. So we cycled afterwards to the Praia de Senora da Rocha, where we park our bikes within sight of the beach blanket and thus could finally enjoy the beach life of the Algarve. Through a tunnel we reached the even lonelier neighboring bay. We cycled on to Praia da Marinha and then continued uphill and downhill, sometimes quite steep, to the west. About Portimao and Lagos with its beautiful promenade at the port we drove to Praia da Ana and on to Cap Ponte da Piedade, where we then turned off the wheels and the rocky coast on foot explored. In Praia do Porto de Mós we were able to ride our bikes back to the beach before continuing on to Burgau and Forte de Almádena. After Burgau, the landscape was finally not once again built, but who knew how long it would take, until it would look like here further east ... So we pedal over scenic route to Cabo de Sao Vicente, Portugal's southwestern point. From here it should go back north.
We drove back to Vila do Bispo and then followed the N268 north. Unfortunately, the sea was close, but rarely seen from the road. Therefore, we turned off at Carrapateira on a small gravel road, which led on as a Rüttelpiste on top of the cliffs along the sea and thus offered a much nicer view. After Vale da Telha but then again only the main road and so we drove on Aljezur on the N120 further north. In Odeceixe we turned again to the beach, where the first rainy rain fell for a long time.
Unfortunately, it rained on the way further north now more often. So we interrupted the way every now and then to Unterstellen. We stayed close to the coast via the Cabo Sardao, but were hit by a thunderstorm in one night, causing us a sleepless night of lightning, torrential rains and gale-force winds, so we were afraid for our tent because the herring were directly in the sand the cliff did not stop. Only in the early morning the storm subsided and we found some sleep.
Via Almograve, Vila Nova de Milfontes and Porto Covo we continued northwards to Sines and then monotonously over the side lane of a freeway to Costa de Santo André. On a later smaller road it was with stronger headwind to the very beautiful Praia Carvalhal and in the distance we could already imagine the Sierra da Arrábida near Lisbon. On the Pensinsula de Tróia we cycled to the ferry, which brought us to Setúbal accompanied by several dolphins. The industrial city turned little attractive and so we quickly made our way east to the Sierra da Arrábida. Over very nice route we climbed the serpentines in low traffic and rushed down again to Sesimbra, before we had to peddle everything up again the next morning.
We drove to the Cabo Espichel with a large monastery, impressive cliffs and a beautiful lighthouse and then on to the Lago de Albufeira, which was only separated by a small strip of sand from the sea. About Caparica, which was difficult to reach over annoying detours for cyclists, we drove into the dense capital traffic. In Trafaria we took the ferry over the Rio Tejo directly to the Torre de Belém and moved to the campsite in the district of Montesanto.
We had one more day to take a closer look at Lisbon and so we walked to the Elevador de Santa Justa, the picturesque old town of Alfama, the cathedral, Rossio and the Praca de Comercio, before the next day we set off on the bikes for 14 km Pedal up to the airport, collect some boxes there, pack our bikes and luggage and get ready for our return flight. Unfortunately, our time in Portugal was over! | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 1 |

BkiUd-3xK0wg0_74_YfA | You're also forgetting the existence of food deserts in the United States.
VR brings up a point a lot of suburbanites and county club liberals and neocons have no experience with.
A 'food desert" is a neighborhood with sparse or no public transit and no place to grocery shop without a vehicle trip. If the area does have stores, it is all either very overpriced middle eastern owned stores that have limited opening hours, very limited offerings, and are marked up sometimes 400 percent. There may be a fast food place or two at the intersection of the closest main artery heading into the neighborhood and connecting other neighborhoods, but that is it.
You are not necessarily starving. But, the food available is expensive, high in fat and cholesterol and while very filling is fattening and can lead a number of bad stuff if eaten over a long period of time.
Yes, you can just make plans and go on one big supply run if you have a car, get one of those old lady carts and spend all day on the bus, or just pay up on an expensive cab. But, if you are working some low paying, tiring job. Hell that. A Wally world run 3 neighborhoods over takes all the check and half your day off! Just go to Manuel's and get some cheap beer and fried stuff and cigs. Rest. | c4 | 1 | 2 | 4 | 2 |

BkiUbfU241xg-Hfkr-yG | Note: This article was published on CliveMaund.com on March 27.
I have not been happy about the pattern that has been forming in gold since it plunged rather rudely and sharply around the end of February. The concern that was engendered by that plunge and the accompanying momentum breakdown, that we can see on gold's latest 8-month chart below, were allayed by its managing to stabilize above its parabolic uptrend line and then rise off it. However, the rally this month has been hesitant and unconvincing, and it is now becoming clearer that it may be a B-wave bear Flag to be followed by a C-wave breakdown through the parabolic uptrend support line that would lead to a sharp drop probably towards or to the support shown in the $1240 area, where it would stabilize before later reversing to the upside again. If this is the scenario that is set to unfold, it is likely to happen soon, as the bear Flag looks about complete.
Obviously a near-term $70 or so drop by gold will inflict some pretty heavy damage on many precious metals stocks. We therefore require a strategy or strategies to deal with it. Basically the choice is to set close stops that take you out of most precious metals sector investments if gold breaches the parabolic uptrend, or alternatively, if you want to stay long, the losses can be cancelled out by hedging using Puts, using perhaps a mix of Puts in gold proxy GLD (SPDR Gold Trust) and in the gold miners 3X leveraged bull ETF NUGT (Direxion Daily Gold Miners Bull 3X Shares), where it should be noted that spreads are considerably wider than with GLD, and there are other possibilities.
If you get taken out of your positions due to such a drop, you then aim to buy them back at a better price as gold arrives at the support shown on our chart. Note that what is set out here overrides most comments made on individual stocks, which is because they are like sheep and tend to all move together during bigger sector moves. Finally, if you agree with what is set out here, you don't need to wait to take this evasive action, and sell at lower prices by being taken out by stops, and also pay higher prices for Puts, you can take evasive action immediately. The scenario set out here would only start to be negated by a gold breakout above the top line of its bear Flag.

"NYRA has been a terrific partner and we are looking forward to presenting more horse racing on a national stage than ever before," said Michael Mulvihill, executive vice president of league operations, research, and strategy for FOX Sports. "With this commitment, FOX Sports has taken the lead in developing content in the fast-growing area of sports gaming by expanding our relationship with the most prestigious name in horse racing, the New York Racing Association."
NYRA and FOX Sports began their collaboration around the launch of the critically-acclaimed "Saratoga Live" during the 2016 summer meet at Saratoga, which offered 80 hours of live coverage to a national audience on FS2.
Reflecting the continued growth and success of NYRA's "Live" shows, FOX Sports increased its coverage of "Saratoga Live" in both 2017 and 2018, while adding select "Belmont Park Live" telecasts. Earlier this year, NYRA and FOX launched FOX Sports "Saturday At The Races," which presented key Triple Crown prep races from a number of tracks around the country.
The NYRA/FOX Sports shows will be presented by The Jockey Club's multimedia fan-development and awareness-building platform, America's Best Racing, created in 2012 to develop new fans by increasing the profile and visibility of North America's top Thoroughbred racing events.
Along with "Saratoga Live," NYRA's TV portfolio includes "Belmont Park Live" during the fall and spring and "Aqueduct Live" during the winter months. MSG Networks will continue to be NYRA's regional home in 2019 and beyond, presenting tri-state viewers with more than 225 hours of coverage throughout the year. In 2017, NYRA added new markets in California via agreements with FOX Sports Prime Ticket and FOX Sports San Diego. In addition, NBC and NBCSN will continue to broadcast the Belmont Stakes Racing Festival as well as other races. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

Amphetamine (AMPH) is known to raise extracellular dopamine (DA) levels by inducing stimulation-independent DA efflux via reverse transport through the DA transporter and by inhibiting DA re-uptake. In contrast, recent studies indicate that AMPH decreases stimulation-dependent vesicular DA release. One candidate mechanism for this effect is the AMPH-mediated redistribution of DA from vesicles to the cytosol. In addition, the inhibition of stimulation-dependent release may occur because of D2 autoreceptor activation by DA that is released via reverse transport. We used the D2 receptor antagonist sulpiride and mice lacking the D2 receptor to address this issue. To evaluate carefully AMPH effects on release and uptake, we recorded stimulated DA overflow in striatal slices by using continuous amperometry and cyclic voltammetry. Recordings were fit by a random walk simulation of DA diffusion, including uptake with Michaelis-Menten kinetics, that provided estimates of DA concentration and uptake parameters. AMPH (10 microm) promoted the overflow of synaptically released DA by decreasing the apparent affinity for DA uptake (K(m) increase from 0.8 to 32 microm). The amount of DA released per pulse, however, was decreased by 82%. This release inhibition was prevented partly by superfusion with sulpiride (47% inhibition) and was reduced in D2 mutant mice (23% inhibition). When D2 autoreceptor activation was minimal, the combined effects of AMPH on DA release and uptake resulted in an enhanced overflow of exocytically released DA. Such enhancement of stimulation-dependent DA overflow may occur under conditions of low D2 receptor activity or expression, for example as a result of AMPH sensitization. | c4 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 |
BkiUev7xK7Ehm4qs1UCB | On February 27, University Book & Supply in Cedar Falls, Iowa, was acquired by the University of Northern Iowa (UNI). A former member of EDmarket, the college bookstore and educational products retailer will operate as a not-for-profit entity of the university so it can maintain reasonable educational costs for students, according to the UNI website. The acquisition gives students the opportunity to charge the cost of their textbooks and other materials to their university bill and use their financial aid to cover it.
The store originated as Latta's School and Office supplies & equipment and was later renamed University Book & Supply. it has served and supported the university and surrounding community for 80 years from a convenient downtown location.
Before the acquisition, UNI was the only one of Iowa's three regent schools that didn't own a bookstore.
The six private shareholders of University Book & Supply approached officials at UNI last spring. In December, the university sought permission from its board of regents to buy the store for $2.4 million, a figure that did not include the value of textbooks and merchandise estimated to be worth $575,000. The proposal did include the bookseller's Cedar Falls real estate and the Hawkeye Bookstore on the Hawkeye Community College Campus in Waterloo, Iowa, according to the Cedar Falls Gazette.
While it has long fulfilled the unofficial role of a one-stop shop for UNI students, alumni and friends, the store was purchased "to allow the bookstore to be more tightly integrated with the university, enabling store employees to work closely with faculty members and coordinate with the orientation staff to better serve new students," says the university.
Most of the store's staff, including the part-time student employees, will be retained. Doug Johnson, a shareholder who has spent nearly 40 years working full-time at University Book & Supply, will remain on staff and serve as store director. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUeh45qWTA6f4qEXTp | The listed requirements for admission to the health science track in human development and aging will not differ from existing requirements for admission to the Bachelor of Science in Human Development and Aging. However, because health professional schools are very competitive, USC students interested in this program will be expected to have achieved at least a 3.0 grade point average (A = 4.0). Students entering the program from high schools or transferring from community colleges will also be expected to meet the minimum admission standards. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUdYQ5qsBDHTHZ3Knz | This Mother's Day offered me an opportunity to experience an event of its kind and a fabulous show as I witnessed the Bio Oils's #YummiliciousWalk dedicated to expecting mums. The sight of the beautiful mommies-to-be left the audience awestruck when 12 pregnant women sashayed the ramp with their naturally glowing skin and cute baby bumps. Each one of them looked absolutely stunning, styled differently in fashionable outfits by Inaaya, jewellery, make up and beautifully done up hair. The credit goes to Shivangi Lahoty for their flawless appearance who ensured they all looked nothing less then a princess.
The beautiful and svelte actress Shveta salve and coveted model Carol Gracias graced the occasion with their presence and flaunted their baby bumps too along with 12 other beautiful pregnant women who walked the ramp with complete ease and confidence.
The brand created a platform for expecting mothers, to help them come out of their cocoon and dazzle the ramp.
The thought of becoming a mother itself brings so many emotions to a woman. Pregnancy is such a divine state of a woman when she carries a life within her. That's the most beautiful part of being a woman and needs to be celebrated. No wonder a woman carrying a child glows naturally and looks her best… Still many of us feel uncomfortable with the way we look and avoid social gatherings during this time. Dressing up is definitely the last thing on our mind as we are mindful of the way our body looks.
This Mother's Day Bio oil's #YummiliciousWalk was a step towards expecting mothers to celebrate their bodies and shed those inhibitions of a pregnant woman. Each mother-to-be looked gorgeous and grabbed all the attention needed at this stage of motherhood.
Also present at the event were celebrity gynaecologist Dr. Kiran Coelho and dermatologist Dr. Rashmi Shetty. They discussed the concerns of a pregnant women and their worries of stretch marks post delivery. They also shed some light on the changes a women's body undergo during pregnancy and suggested one must take care of skin as it gets dry and itchy during pregnancy. Keeping the skin moisturised all the times with an application of Bio Oil can give a big time relief from stretch marks and smoothens the skin keeping it soft supple and maintains its elasticity.
The presence of Vitamin E, Lavender, Calendula and Rosemary makes Bio Oil the perfect choice for expecting mothers to rely on. Bio Oil is a specialist skincare oil that not only helps improve the appearance of scars, stretch marks and uneven skin tone but is also very effective for aging and dehydrated skin.
Well-known TV Actor and dancer Shveta Salve expressed, "Pregnancy is a wonderful journey that should be cherished and rejoiced." She said, " I have been using Bio Oil from day one of my pregnancy and recommend this to all the expecting moms to get away with dry skin and stretch mark worries.
The specialists highlighted the after effects of a good skin care regime and recommended tips for improving the skin as well as the ideal time to get back to exercising post pregnancy.
Encouraging women to come out of their shell, boosting their morale and making them feel beautiful was the focus of the event. This Mother's Day, Bio Oil partnered with Yummy Mummies across the country to encourage them to celebrate their pregnancy phase rather than shying away from the world.
The event was perfect to match the theme and the occasion of Mother's Day. What better way to celebrate the love, the care and the sacrifice a women makes to be a mother.
"The changes in your body will last for just nine months, but the beauty of Motherhood will embrace you for the rest of your life".
