BkiUbKfxK7Ehm4qsytDM | We returned from Servant Leadership Staff Retreat on Wednesday and are putting the finishing touches on our preparations before the new students arrive on WOW Saturday. No matter how many times I remind myself, I always learn that experience is never quite the same as expectation. I knew August would be hectic, but anticipating August in July is not even close to the same as experiencing the actual month of mayhem.
This gives me hope that although my faith and my vision of heaven is weak, I can be confident that the infinite and future reality will exceed all my present and limited expectations.
I wanted to send out a brief adoption update and also ask that you would all PRAY!Many of you know that Gunner and I received Judah's birth certificate and abandonment papers about 2 and a half weeks ago. We had been waiting for them for over 4 months so this was a HUGE step and we are so thankful! We have one more form to file with our government and these are the only 2 things we need to be able to file.
We discovered the next day that the Los Angeles office will only accept original documents. We received Judah's original birth certificate…and a copy of his abandonment papers. We found out the Amani Baby Cottage (where Judah is) will not send the original abandonment papers because they have to have it in Uganda to prove that they have legal custody of him. ABC decided they would send a notorized, certified, signed by a judge copy to us for us to file with Judah's birth certificate. This copy is supposed to be here in the morning. This is NOT what our governement wants us to file.
Tomorrow I am going down to the LA office with 2 other women who are adopting from ABC (Lisa Tatlock and Cheryl Pari) and we are asking everyone to please, please pray that the Lord would allow these papers to be accepted. We are well aware that we are not turning in what they require. We are equally aware that our God is in control. The 2 ladies who work in the adoption/orphan unit in the LA office are not very easy to work with and they don't seem to show much compasion or care for adopting families so pray that the God who softens hearts will soften theirs!
The I-600 (this final form) normally takes 4-6 weeks to get approved/denied so we won't probably hear anything for a while but I will try to let you know when we do hear something. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 4 | 1 |

Elon Musk's Twitter has reinstated the personal account of far-right Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, which was banned in January for violating the platform's COVID misinformation policies at the time.
Greene's reinstatement comes after Musk over the weekend reinstated the account of former President Donald Trump, who was banned in the aftermath of the deadly Jan. 6 riots on the Capitol in 2021. Twitter — at the time — feared there was a risk of further incitement to violence if Trump was allowed to remain on the platform. Trump himself has said he won't return to Twitter and as of Monday had not yet tweeted since the reinstatement, although he also hasn't deleted his account.
Musk apparently based his decision to allow Trump back on the site on an unscientific Twitter poll he posted on his timeline. There appeared to be no such poll for Greene's account. Earlier, Musk said he won't make major decisions about content or restoring banned accounts before setting up a " content moderation council " with diverse viewpoints.

Musk has frequently expressed his belief that Twitter had become too restrictive. Before the U.S. midterm elections this month, he urged his "independent-minded" Twitter followers to vote Republican.
One account Musk has said he won't allow back on Twitter is that of conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, who was banned in 2018 for abusive behavior.
"My firstborn child died in my arms. I felt his last heartbeat," Musk tweeted Sunday in response to calls for Jones' reinstatement. "I have no mercy for anyone who would use the deaths of children for gain, politics or fame."

There are a few signs of wear mostly on the cymbals and kick drum head. But it's in perfect working condition. This is a really great kit, but it just doesn't see as much use as it use to since I no longer play drums in any bands. I'm located in Tulsa, but if anyone in OKC is interested in buying, I'd be happy to meet somewhere halfway to save the drive all the way to Tulsa. Or if you'd like to come to Tulsa and try it out first, that works to. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 4 | 1 |
BkiUeg-6NNjgB0Ss3VZG | Zombie, Rob: 20th Century Masters-The Best Of Rob Zombie
From the depths of New York's Metal scene rose White Zombie, a band that blended crushing riffs and some feels from the Industrial side and running the show was the main monster himself � Rob Zombie. The career of the band was interesting for while the band was around for several years, all of a sudden they broke and became one of those veteran acts being called an "overnight sensation". Zombie would disband the group and begin performing solo, but the overall vibe of the group would remain pretty much the same. This CD includes four of the most popular White Zombie tracks, yet the albums they come from should be looked into as well. The remaining tracks cover Rob's biggest solo singles as well as music from his movie's where he also served as the creator and director. The 20th Century Masters editions are not high on my list as anything more than teaser plates of a particular artist. The key success of the hits packages are found on the "Gold" editions. There are some historical liner notes and photos inside but other than that this is merely an OK release and not a true "Best Of", these issues need to add more tracks going forward and making better use of the time available on CD.

Posted by Michael Popke, SoT Staff Writer on 2006-11-01 15:51:25
My Score:
I'll admit it: The Best of Rob Zombie is the first "20th Century Masters-The Millennium Collection" release I've taken the time to hear. I always thought the more-thorough two-disc "Gold" anthology series provided a much better package � and it does. (And why is Universal still calling this "The Millennium Collection" almost seven years removed from that date?) But in the case of Zombie, a single disc of career highlights spanning 52 minutes is just about all casual fans will need. This 12-track collection includes all of the songs featured on 2003's 19-track Past, Present & Future, save for two songs from this year's Educated Horses, which found Zombie indulging in a little less theatricality than on his previous two solo releases (1998's Hellbilly Deluxe and 2001's The Sinister Urge) and in his former band White Zombie. The Best of Rob Zombie includes four songs from White Zombie, which didn't hit it big until 1992 � eight years after it crawled from New York City's twisted metal and art underworld. Brutal and brilliant and smacking of schlocky horror, these songs remains an acquired taste � even though they created the sonic framework for creepy and nightmarish modern metal. The man's masterpiece remains "Dragula," from his solo debut � the perfect example of a song that must be played loud. But it's also cool to hear "Living Dead Girl" and White Zombie's "More Human Than Human" again. It's also worth noting that "Dr. Eric von Wolfenstein," a fictional TV horror-show host from Zombie's film "House of 1000 Corpses," penned the liner notes. Given their over-the-top verbiage ("White Zombie tapped into the ugly underside of outcast culture"), I wouldn't be surprised if Zombie himself wrote them. | commoncrawl | 4 | 3 | 4 | 2 |

Achieving Collective Impact: How Partnerships Change Community Outcomes
Achieving collective impact requires all partners to clearly understand collaborative work and how partnerships improve conditions in communities. The Forum for Youth Investment and FSG are teaming up to help communities effectively carry out collective impact strategies. Achieving Collective Impact: How Partnerships Change Community Outcomes, a three-day institute on December 1 - 3, 2015, provides a survey of five key steps in collaborative work and how these steps put partnerships on a clear path to improving lives. Participants will learn how to take a Big Picture Approach to tackle a range of issues in their communities, focusing on how to apply the nuts and bolts of collective impact strategies back home. The institute will take place in Washington, D.C. Registration is required.
Don't Forget the Families
The Search Institute has released a new study, Don't Forget the Families: The Missing Piece in America's Effort to Help All Children Succeed. This study of 1,085 parenting adults of 3-13 year olds from across the United States found that the quality of parent-child relationships is 10 times more powerful than demographics (race, ethnicity, family composition, and family income) in predicting whether children are developing critical character strengths they need for success in school and life. A recording of a webinar on the study, presented by study co-author Gene Roehlkepartain, Ph.D., Vice President, Research and Development at Search Institute is also available.

BkiUbi3xK7Ehm79fbZCH | Airy and light in solid cast iron (Eskilstuna-Kuriren April 12)
Eskilstuna-Kuriren
Article published in the newspaper Eskilstuna-Kuriren the 12 April for my show, transcript:
Airy and light in solid cast iron
The inspiration for his beautiful and playful sculptures Marco Cueva finds in all from animated television series for children to baroque.
Today opens his exhibition at the Art Gallery in Hälleforsnäs.
Rosewood, sandalwood and alabaster are some of the materials that Marco Cueva uses for his sculptures.
Lined up on podiums, they give a classic impression in which the forms are coherent and unadorningly simplified.
Some will incite you to feel it with their very velvety surface to the touch.
– I have added color as a continuation of the process, says Marco Cueva – the physically heavy iron appears to lighten and the expression changes when different colors are added.
And certainly, when an intense pink little thing stands and calls for attention in the gallery's rear I become enticed to go there. At first, I wonder if it's plastic, but on closer inspection it is a cast iron sculpture that, despite its simplified processing retains the essential.
The thoughts are led to both a children's tale Babar and Ganesh from the Indian pantheon.
Another work "Flor de fango", the title comes from an Argentine tango roughly translates "flower growing in mire" is a brittle or perhaps fleeting small sculpture that makes me think of a pink flamingo on thin legs swaying in a wetland.
Many times there is a complex competitive challenge in the sculptures; the vision of something airy and light, expressed through a heavy and solid material.
In another series of works; iron masks made to function as outdoor fountains where water will spring out of their mouths, inspired by famous historical faces. There's Medusa from the Greek mythology and a characteristic Japanese temple guard with his angry expression.
Cueva lives and works in Stockholm but was born from Honduras. He has, since he finished the studies at the Royal College of Art in 1997, showed around the world, including in New York, Madrid and Nicaragua. On his record there are also several public art commissions.
Next in line after the Art Gallery in Hälleforsnäs is an exhibition in Paris and later on, the sculptures will be displayed in a museum in Honduras.

I need several masculine cards, and I want to use the Crazy, Mixed Up Love set for all of them! It is such a cute set, and I had not used it at all yet.
Retro Sketches has this awesome sketch going this week and I could not wait to use it!
I inked up the Hardwood BG with my markers so I had alternating colored planks along one side on the inside. What do you think?
Super cute card! Great use of the sketch, and I love all of that texture!

Voters in parts of Houston ISD return to the polls next Saturday to complete an overhaul of the district's much-maligned school board, which will have four new members seated in January.
Runoff elections in District II, which covers large swaths of northern Houston, and District IV, home to parts of downtown and south-central Houston, pit four newcomers promising to refocus attention on students following months of acrimony on the board. None of the candidates earned the necessary 50 percent of the vote in November's general election to win outright.
In District II, retired postal manager Kathy Blueford-Daniels, who earned 43 percent of the vote in the Nov. 5 general election, looks to hold off city council aide John C. Gibbs, who trailed with 22 percent.
In District IV, the race between retired HISD principal Patricia Allen and management consultant Matt Barnes figures to be close after Allen received 31 percent of the general election vote and Barnes snagged 30 percent.

Houston ISD fights state takeover in federal court
By Jacob Carpenter, Staff writer
HISD residents oppose state takeover at TEA meetings
While the victors are assured of taking their seats in January, their stay in power likely will be short.
Texas Education Commissioner Mike Morath is expected to strip power from elected trustees and appoint a replacement board in the coming months, the result of chronically low performance at HISD's Wheatley High School and multiple findings of misconduct by school board members. HISD trustees and the district's largest teachers union are suing to stop the takeover.
The looming threat of intervention, however, has not stopped HISD from holding elections to four seats on the nine-member board. The governance team will look dramatically different after challengers Dani Hernandez and Judith Cruz soundly defeated incumbents in November and sitting trustees from districts II and IV did not seek re-election.
After narrowly missing an outright victory in her five-candidate general election, Blueford-Daniels enters the runoff as the favorite to replace incumbent Rhonda Skillern-Jones, who is seeking a seat on the Houston Community College Board of Trustees. Blueford-Daniels and Gibbs both graduated from District II high schools in the mid-1970s — Wheatley and Booker T. Washington, respectively — and serve as community activists primarily on the city's northeast side.
On HoustonChronicle.com: See how Blueford-Daniels, Gibbs responded to questions in our voter guide
Blueford-Daniels said her managerial experience and dedication to reforming a dysfunctional school board should propel her to victory.
"I want to be that conduit between the administration and HISD, to find out what people in the community want for their children," Blueford-Daniels said. "I know we won't be directly engaged with administration and the schools, but I think I can relate to them."
Gibbs said his deep ties to the district, burnished as a community outreach liaison for Houston City Councilmember Michael Kubosh for the past six years, give him the edge over Blueford-Daniels.
"You need to know personalities and people and issues that are indigenous to those particular schools and communities," Gibbs said. "I know what the issues have been, and nobody is looking at the systemic problems that have to be solved."
Blueford-Daniels and Gibbs both advocate for returning more vocational programs to high schools in District II, many of which have ranked among the lowest-performing in the state in recent years, and fostering more stable leadership in the principal ranks.
The candidates differed on applying for the potential state-appointed board, an option open to all candidates and elected trustees. Blueford-Daniels said she does not plan to apply, preferring to use her time without power to build trust among the elected trustees. Gibbs, who declared in October that he supported state intervention, said he plans to apply for the position amid concerns that an appointed board could close campuses.
On HoustonChronicle.com: See how Allen, Barnes responded to questions in our voter guide
In District VI, which featured four candidates on the general election ballot, voting patterns indicate Allen and Barnes boast strong bases of support.
Allen scored her biggest victories in precincts located south of downtown Houston and east of Highway 288, which are home to more lower-income and black voters. Barnes earned wide margins in Montrose, Midtown and the southwest I-610 Loop, areas with more affluent and white voters.
Barnes far outpaced Allen in campaign fundraising and endorsements, while Allen boasted strong name recognition as the principal of District IV's MacGregor Elementary and daughter of state Rep. Alma Allen, D-Houston.
Allen, a 35-year veteran of the district, has touted her experience as teacher and administrator while pledging to increase the board's attention to student achievement.
"I know how the budget process works, what's expected of the superintendent, what can be done and where," Allen said. "I was retired, and I saw that the focus was not on the children. My goal is to have it refocused on them."
Barnes, who has served on several nonprofit governing boards and counsels families navigating school systems, has vowed to direct considerable resources to raising literacy rates in HISD. He also said HISD should better engage parents in their children's education.
"I really don't think of this as a competition, but as a choice between two folks with different sets of skills," Barnes said. "I believe I'm prepared because of my governance experience, dealing with presidents who have struggled or budgets that were upside down or a vision that was questionable."
Barnes said he has applied to join the state-appointed board, while Allen said she intends to file an application.
If elected trustees are not seated on an appointed board, they will maintain their titles but lack any power to conduct district business. Elected trustees would be phased back onto the board no earlier than two years after losing their authority.
Early voting continues through Tuesday. | commoncrawl | 5 | 2 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUeBk4eIXh7gjUqwX6 | WASHINGTON — With big deals for fighter jets going to Kuwait, Qatar and Bahrain recently either settled or approved, the Middle Eastern fighter market will be slightly quieter over the next five years.
But that doesn't mean there aren't a few opportunities still up for grabs, analysts told Defense News ahead of the Dubai Airshow, which runs from Nov. 12-16.
"In the last few years, a lot of these contracts have come to completion. They've started signing orders. They've been approved. So that does limit what they need to be purchasing for the time being," said Derek Bisaccio, an aerospace expert with Forecast International.
Bisaccio estimates the value of the Middle East fighter jet market to be about $22 billion over the next decade, based on projected unit costs per aircraft. That figure could double if including additional services such as spare parts, training and maintenance.
In the next five years, Middle Eastern and North African countries are expected to buy about 245 new-build fighter aircraft, said Richard Aboulafia, an analyst with the Teal Group. That figure does not include current orders — like Bahrain's expected purchase of F-16s from Lockheed Martin, for instance — or purchases from F-35 customers Turkey and Israel.
Of the countries still looking for new fighter jets, the United Arab Emirates may be the biggest wild card. The UAE needs to replace its fleet of Mirage 2000s with about 60 new aircraft, but it has lots of options on the table. The country has been considering a purchase of the Dassault Rafale in the past few years, but no deal has solidified yet.
The UAE has also expressed interest in the Su-35 made by Sukhoi in Russia, and is collaborating with Russia on a fifth-generation fighter jet, Bisaccio said. In February, the head of Russian defense company Rostec told Defense News that development of the aircraft, based on the MiG-29, would start in 2018.
Sergey Chemezov, CEO of Russia defense heavyweight Rostec, spoke to Defense News about the deal, as well as hopes to expand cooperation with the United States under the Trump administration.
Further complicating the matter is the UAE's desire to purchase the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter. The country will "almost certainly" be the first Gulf nation permitted to buy the F-35, said Aboulafia.
"The UAE has been the most aggressive about expecting F-35 approval sometime in the next few years," he said.
That approval might come sooner rather than later. Israel usually is permitted to procure new U.S. fighters five years before other countries in the Middle East, meaning a deal with the UAE or possibly Saudi Arabia could come in the early 2020s, Aboulafia noted.
"The Israelis are very good at using this decision for leverage. In other words: If it's a choice between Arab countries not getting F-35s, or Arab countries getting F-35s and Israel getting another couple squadrons of free F-35s, they're going to go for that second option," he said.
Another potential big spender is Saudi Arabia. The country cemented a huge deal in 2011 with Boeing for 84 new F-15SA jets and with Eurofighter in 2007 for 72 Typhoons. However, it still needs more fighter jets, and a follow-on order for an additional 48 Typhoons has not materialized yet, noted Bisaccio.
A future order "might have to wait a couple of years because of oil prices," Aboulafia said, but wait too long and it's possible the F-15 and Typhoon lines could be dead.
However, Sebastian Sobolev, a defense analyst with Avascent Analytics, noted that Saudi Arabia has recently purchased new fighter fleets, which could enable it to push projected orders further into the future. It has also begun shifting its focus from air to naval procurement.
The U.S. State Department has cleared the sale of almost $4 billion in weapons to Bahrain, including a sale of F-16 fighters that was halted under the Obama administration.
That could leave potential fighter buys in Algeria, Egypt and Morocco as well as a light attack aircraft buy from the UAE as the major near-term opportunities, Sobolev said.
Egypt has been diversifying its fighter inventory over the past several years, and it's currently taking delivery of the Dassault Rafale from France and the MiG-29 from Russia, said Bisaccio, who noted that a buy of 12 to 24 more Rafales was likely. In late October, Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi met with French leaders in an effort to push the deal forward.
Qatar has also greatly expanded its fighter force, buying 24 Rafales in 2015 and signing a deal for 36 F-15s earlier this year. Most recently, the country signed a letter of agreement in September for 24 Eurofighter Typhoons, but that order now appears to be shaky, Bisaccio said.
Algeria typically buys Russian-made aircraft and is likely to continue that trend, said Sobolev. Russian media outlets have claimed that Algeria plans to buy 12 Sukhoi Su-34s — an order that could expand to 40 aircraft — but War Is Boring reported late last year that Russia has no plans to export the Su-34 to Algeria.
Avascent also predicts Morocco could invest in four or more fighter jets to keep up with its neighbor Algeria. It currently flies the F-5 and the F-16, which could point to an order for more F-16s.
Although not likely to result in a fighter jet order, the UAE's light attack aircraft requirement could open up the door for the country to buy lower-end combat planes like the A-29 Super Tucano or an armed version of the Air Tractor AT-802 crop duster. | c4 | 5 | 3 | 5 | 4 |

BkiUcJfxK5YsWPOofBiO | A lot of us have had to face a new reality during the years of the Great Recession and afterward. The old life is not coming back. That job, that money, that ease of living, will not be ours again. It's the new normal, and unpleasant as it may be, we have to adjust.
Like most people in their 50s, I didn't expect this. But when I remember my parents, I see that it happened to them as well, for different reasons.
Daddy worked for several years for a government contractor driving ICBMs (intercontinental ballistic missiles) into the tunnels where they were stored after the warheads were assembled. Yes, that's really what my dad did for a living! But when the Vietnam War came about, gradually the cold war lost emphasis, government spending for nuclear "defense" was cut–and Daddy was laid off. His life was never the same.
He was reduced to doing hard physical labor, unloading trucks and carrying meat in to the commissary freezers at Ft. Campbell, KY when he was in his late 50s. He had a heart attack and couldn't do that job any more, so he drove a school bus. All the while he was farming our small farm. He died of his second heart attack not long after I graduated from college.
The good news in all this was, he loved the farm and was never happier than when he was feeding the cows or driving the tractor. We managed to keep our house and the farm despite mortgages, and when Daddy died there was property to sell so Mother had something to live on. It was never carefree or easy, but we had family and friends and fun.
So when I feel like whining I try to remember that this is a new cycle and I've been given a second chance to keep going, to make this life work. And hopefully to have some fun along the way! | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUcJzxK6mkyCfOBJdX | Zeltornis ginsburgi è un uccello estinto, vissuto nel Miocene inferiore in Libia.
Un airone gigante
Probabilmente questo uccello assomigliava all'attuale nitticora, ma era molto più grande: l'altezza doveva raggiungere i due metri, e l'apertura alare arrivava ai 2,5 metri. Si conosce uno solo osso fossile, un coracoide destro; nonostante ciò, quest'osso è abbastanza particolare da permettere di catalogare Zeltornis nella famiglia degli aironi. In particolare, sembrerebbe essere strettamente imparentato con le nitticore, ma non può esserne un diretto antenato in quanto il genere Nycticorax esiste almeno dall'Oligocene. Il nome Zeltornis deriva dalla località di Djebel Zelten in Libia, dove i fossili sono stati ritrovati.

Jacques Dubochet's speech at the Nobel Banquet, 10 December 2017.
Your Majesties,
Your Royal Highnesses,
Excellences,
Dear Laureates,
On behalf of Prof Joachim Frank, Prof Richard Henderson and myself we wish to thank the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences and the Nobel Foundation.
The world is large, very large. My head is small, quite small. There is no way I can put the world in my head. Nevertheless, I have been trying to elaborate some kind of representation. When it is about the living world, it is called biology. When it looks for the basic laws of space and forces, we call it physics. We are three bio-physicists, namely three scientists who work in biology with the spirit of a physicist.
Chemistry is the science of atoms. Elaborating on Democritus' idea, chemists learn how atoms stick or don't stick together, thus forming molecules.
We three have never been very good chemists but we are gratified with a Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
The Peter Principle says that everyone is promoted until they reach their level of incompetence. We are worried that we may have reached this remarkable point.
But I would rather believe that this prize is a testimony of the unity of science.
Thirty years ago, my group presented a model of a virus floating in immobilized water showing details as small as 35 Å. Nowadays, cryo-electron microscopists are nearly routinely achieving 3.5 Å. Thirty years later, a resolution 10 times better, a volume one thousand times smaller, this is truly an impressive achievement. It came about thanks to the contribution of many scientists, and mostly thanks to the continuous and admirable effort of Richard Henderson and Joachim Frank, who have charted the path. The recent revolution in cryo-electron microscopy is simply the consequence that, at 3.5 Å resolution, atoms are visible. We see chemistry, how the atoms are arranged in the molecules, how the disease changes the arrangement. Perhaps we will find which drug disentangles the aggregates that make a brain senile. Many of us are interested in such things.
Colleagues cryo-electron microscopists, you have a good tool at your disposal; make the best of it!

BkiUeI_xK1UJ-rWoKRLx | Hail and Well Met, my fellow fat sweaty nerds, geeks, and other ne'er-do-wells!
How does a person start something like a blog? What drives a person to think that whatever they have to say is so important that it simply MUST be shared with the world of the internet?
Well, friends, I don't know what that something is, but we've apparently all got it because sites like tweeter and facebox (and wordpress) have clearly done well for themselves.
To be honest, I am extremely technologically illiterate. I don't have a facebook, I don't have a tweets, and I have no clue what an RSS is.
Really, I'm just an overweight, nerdly sort of chap who wants to get back in shape for Dragon*Con 2012.

Indeed, this picture is from the cover of one of my favorite books, Watership Down by Richard Adams. The animated movie freaked me out as a kid and it took me forever to figure out where these mental images of bloody, rabid, rabbits came from. Hazel and Fiver were the main characters, Hazel-Rah was Hazel's name when he became chief of the rabbits. There's just something so pastoral and pagan about the story that I just love it, like Wind in the Willows.
Dood. I am blog retarded but I will try to be a good student and learn about the blog world. | c4 | 1 | 1 | 4 | 1 |

Famous Men of Science - Sarah Knowles Bolton. These sketches show how young men have overcome difficulties, sometimes poverty, sometimes illness; how they have made failures before finding their true vocation. They show the results of energy, perseverance, and untiring devotion; how a cheerful face and a hopeful spirit like Agassiz's, or a gentle and kindly nature like Darwin's, can win its way against opposition. A sketch of Benjamin Franklin, which otherwise would have a place in this volume, will be found in Famous American Statesmen; also one of Michael Faraday, in Poor Boys Who Became Famous.

Famous Men of Science, published in 1889, is a collection of 14 biographical sketches written by American author Sarah Knowles Bolton. In the late 19th century, Bolton published a whole series of such biographical collections, with titles like Poor Boys Who Became Famous, Famous American Statesmen, and Famous European Artists. Although it doesn't appear to be intended for a young audience, Famous Men of Science is definitely a popular history aimed at the masses. The biographical sketches have the feeling of deliberate simplification, like articles out of Reader's Digest or something from Chicken Soup for the Scientific Soul. Given this approach, it's hard to tell how much of the information is reliable, and how much is folklore, but Bolton does quote extensively from the letters and diaries of the figures she profiles.
While relating the events and accomplishments of her subjects' lives, Bolton makes blatant efforts to draw moral lessons from their examples, often concluding paragraphs with chestnuts like "Those only succeed who have sufficient force of character to make time for what they wish to do," or "Little can be expected from those who are easily satisfied." She also goes out of her way to emphasize the Christian piety and spiritual fortitude of these scientific heroes, even the ones who were likely materialists. She has a tendency to digress from the scientific research by focusing on stories of love, friendship, and family. In the chapter on Sir Humphrey Davy, for instance, Bolton concentrates so much on his personal character and relationships that I'm not sure I even understand what his great contributions to science were. Bolton just assumes you already know that, as any good student of the 19th century would.
Nevertheless, you do learn a lot of fascinating details about these individuals, like Galileo's struggles to support a family of deadbeats, or the fact that Louis Agassiz was so blind he had to feel fossils with his tongue. Samuel Morse, the inventor of the telegraph, had a very successful career as an artist prior to becoming an inventor, and Bolton gives his artistic accomplishments their proper due. I consider myself pretty well-versed in the life of Charles Darwin, but I knew almost nothing about the personal histories of Carl Linnaeus, Georges Cuvier, or Alexander von Humboldt. Though Bolton's sketches are anything but comprehensive, she has provided me with enough information to know that I'd like to look into the works of these great naturalists and seek out more recent and complete biographies on them.
Despite the weaknesses in the writing, and the egregious number of typos (no spelling check was ever applied to the scanned text), this really is an enjoyable read. It transports you back to the glory days of the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries, prior to the era of specialization, when science was like the Wild West: full of opportunities for anyone willing to work hard and stake their claim. You didn't need rigid credentials to make advances in a given discipline; you just did the work. Almost all of these luminaries excelled in more than one field. Humboldt's range of interests was truly staggering, stretching across almost the entire breadth of the sciences and humanities. It's difficult to imagine any scientist today having the freedom to explore the diversity of knowledge that these men did. Famous Men of Science is a fun read for anyone who admires these polymaths of the past. It is no substitute for real biographies of Newton, Herschel, Audubon, etc., but it really does generate enthusiasm for the history of science and whets your appetite for more.

I love both science and biographies, but I can't say I've read any really inspiring and well-written anthologies of famous scientists until this one. Bolton tells the lives of 14 influential scientists, beginning with Galileo, in a very warm and motivating manner, along with a gentle "moralizing" tone which is so rare today, where you mostly get either preachy on one the hand or amoral on the other. For example, she often emphasizes the sacrifices these men made and the hard work which made their success.
Sarah Bolton wrote a host of biographies, and I plan to look into more of them.
The writing level in this book would be suitable for older children interested in science and up.

Fascinating. Amazing men I never knew of and learned more of those I thought I knew. What dedication to expanding the knowledge of the human race at the sacrifice of their own lives. Will be re reading it again in the future.
Pettalo
A good and informative book. It inspiring to see the manner in which men of accomplishment conducted themselves. Examples to emulate.
Jek
This book was short and not difficult to read. In addition it provided a great deal of significant scientific information.
Mavivasa
This book was a very interesting read, and conveyed so much more than just a run down of scientists. I learned facts about these men that I had never known and found the brief biographies well written and engaging. I would almost consider this book a inspirational writing. It's far from dry and fact listing, which I actually expected. I found it beautifully written.
Good reading!

BkiUbdTxaKgS2D2zM9i2 | French minister for public accounts said he 'welcomes the taxes' the Brazilian footballer would pay in France.
French President Emmanuel Macron weighed in on the protracted transfer saga of Brazilian football star Neymar from Barcelona to Paris Saint-Germain, the Associated Press reported Thursday.
Macron met PSG's president Nasser al-Khaleifi — a Qatari businessman who bought the club in 2011 — on the sidelines of a charity event and told him: "Congratulations, I understand there's been some good news," referring to Neymar's impending arrival in France.
The French minister for public accounts, Gérald Darmanin, also anticipated the Brazilian captain's arrival in France. Darmanin told France Inter radio: "If Neymar does come to a French club, the minister of public accounts welcomes the taxes that he could be paying to France."
Neymar is set to become the most expensive footballer in history, with Paris Saint-German expected to pay €222 million to invoke his buyout clause at Barcelona. That would more than double the current highest transfer fee, €105 million, paid by Manchester United for French midfielder Paul Pogba to the Turin club Juventus last year. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

BkiUd4I4uBhjDigVQeqh | SUPER TOUGH: RuggedWrapDIY is Super Tough Vinyl Wrap with a unique Rugged Look, like a spray in bed liner, in an easy to apply roll size. RuggedWrapDIY is 5X thicker than standard vinyl and yet perfectly compliant to rounded surfaces when heated with a heat gun. RuggedWrap can be applied to portions of panels or over the entire vehicle. DOUBLE UP! You can cut and apply smaller sections of RuggedWrap to High Impact body areas and then overlay with RuggedWrap on the larger area for extreme protection.
EASY DIY: RuggedWrapDIY is simple to apply yourself (check out our optional Application Kit). ★ It's pre-cut into manageable roll sizes for self-install. ★ Our optional Application Kit & Application Fluid provides everything you need to install yourself with great results. Note that we no longer put a hinge cut in the backing because we now have a very low initial tack on the adhesive, making the product very easy to install and postion. Adhesion is completed with pressure.
PROTECTIVE & EASY TO WASH: RuggedWrapDIY is 10X thicker than standard vinyl wraps and protects paint from rock chips and scratches. It has a tough look with a surface that is massively self-healing, yet is smooth enough to be easy to wash. DOUBLE UP! For extreme applications that require the most protection you can overlay RuggedWrapDIY onto itself. So cutting pieces to suit high impact areas, installing those first and then overlaying with the larger sheet produces extreme protection and clean finish with no hard edges.
ANY COLOR IS POSSIBLE: The Universe of Colors is open to you! RuggedWrap can be made in ANY color. RuggedWrap can even match your car color! A Ferrari color on a Ford? No problem! Contact us for OEM match projects.
TOP COAT ANTI-STATIC AND HYDROPHOBIC option: RuggedWrapDIY can be coated with your favorite was or ceramic coating. Such coatings can help bugs and road debris rinse off with water and the surface is much less prone to static dust collection than a standard vinyl wrap.
Reliable Adhesive Layer: Air release adhesive layer for reliable adhesion and removal.
Removability better protected: RuggedWrap better protects the base adhesive and vinyl resins and dramatically reduces the escape of resins and hardening of the wrap, thus aiding in easy removal even over time and in harsh environments.
Warranty: Expected Performance is 5 years. Detailed Warranty is here.
You will invent more, let us know!
CLEAN: Start with a clean vehicle and wipe all surfaces and edges with alcohol wipes.
Be sure to clean all edges and inside of panel edges (you will wrap RuggedWrapDIY around edges so the inside of edges must be clean to ensure good adhesion).
Application temperatures should be 75-85F or 25-30C. If your temperatures are colder, heat your workspace for this application.
TOP REFERENCE LINE: It's good practice to establish a top reference line to which you will match or cut the top edge of RuggedWrapDIY during installation.
Another option is: Our optional Application Kit has a special fine line tape in it. This tape allows you to pull a straight line, tack down at both ends of your line, even if the body has ups and downs in between, and then secure the rest of the straight line by pushing the tape down with your finger. With two ends anchored, the fine line tape will conform to the shape of the body when you push down the middle sections. RuggedWrapDIY won't stick to the special fine line tape in our application kit. So if there are some slight overlaps of RuggedWrapDIY on the fine line tape, don't worry -- once you have the entire sheet of RuggedWrapDIY applied, the fine line tape will pull out from under RuggedWrapDIY and you can squeegee down the top edge to finish off the job.
LOW INITIAL TACK: The adhesive is very low initial tack and is easy to move on your painted surface and reposition. Adhesion is completed with pressure via cloth or squeegee.
HEAT GUN: Sometimes for curvy sections of a body panel, warming that portion of RuggedWrapDIY with a heat gun will aid in helping it to conform. Gentle heat 6 inches away from the material is enough to soften and improve conformability.
EDGES AND PANEL GAPS: After you have squeegeed down the RuggedWrapDIY, you can cut excess off the edges. A sharp razor will do fine or for perfect results, use our Gap Knife in our Application Kit.
AIR BUBBLES: If during the squeegeeing of RuggedWrapDIY you get an air bubble or two, don't worry, you can pull up that section and re-squeegee it, removing the bubble.
TOP COATING AND CARE: We recommend top coating RuggedWrapDIY. You can use our permanent ArmorShell Coating. This is a one time top coat that will waterproof and make RuggedWrapDIY anti debris and anti static. Or you can use your favorite liquid wax or ArmorAll, 303 protection etc.
REMOVAL: If the time comes to remove RuggedWrapDIY, it will be easy if the ambient temperature is above 80F or 30C. If it's a cooler day, warm your workplace and use a heat gun to gently warm the RuggedWrapDIY. Peel away from the original finish by grabbing and edge. It will peel reliably and for some areas that seem a little strong, just warm it somewhat with a heat gun.

BkiUcN7xK4sA-7sDeLXl | Filmmaker and Baylor University professor Chris Hansen wants to have an affair. No, not that kind! He's currently in pre-production on his latest feature film called simply An Affair, (UPDATE: Later re-titled Where We Started) a will-they-or-won't-they drama about a man and a woman who meet in a hotel. Although married to other people, they have a flirtatious evening that runs the risk of turning into something more serious. To help promote the film, which will being lensing in June 2011, Hansen has created a pair of videos exploring the main characters' inner turmoil. Her side of the affair is embedded above, and his is below.
In developing the film, Hansen is workshopping the script with his actors. The male lead, Will, is played by Matthew Brumlow, one of the stars of Hansen's previous film, Endings. The female lead, Leah, is played by Cora Vander Broek, who is new to Hansen's films, but is not unfamiliar with Brumlow. The two are married in real life.
As a professor at Baylor, Hansen typically involves his students on set in various capacities. However, in order to fill some key crew positions, he's also raising funds via Kickstarter. The campaign is going on now through Dec. 1. Please watch the videos and decide if you'd like to contribute.
Will Shelton is a 35-year-old actor still trying to make a go of his chosen profession. He is on his way home from a small commercial production. Leah Van Der Graf is a mid-30s wife and mom on her way home from caring for an ailing parent. They meet as they're checking into a roadside motel, and the instant spark combined with their emotional vulnerability leads them to seriously consider a fling, or more. But as they talk throughout the night, they also become aware of their own manipulations and each others' vulnerabilities. So the encounter that seemed to be about to happen becomes an exploration of their situations and the possible ramifications.

BkiUfpY5qhDCnXuZvb5v | In approximately 85% of bird species, both the male and female of a mating pair contribute to the feeding and guarding of their offspring. Red-bellied Woodpeckers are of this ilk. Both members of a pair help excavate a nest cavity, incubate the eggs, brood the young and feed the nestlings for up to 10 weeks after they fledge. As seen in this photograph, when tending to their nestlings, one member of a pair wastes no time in departing as soon as its mate appears.
Common Grackles are hard to miss and hard to mistake for any other bird, with their yellow eyes, iridescent bronze or purple plumage and long, keel-shaped tails. Most of the spring migrants have reached their breeding grounds, and courtship, mating and nest-building are underway.
Because grackles begin reproduction so early in the season, conifers are the nesting site of choice due to the cover they provide. Females tend to choose the actual site for a nest, and in so doing can be quite fickle, often abandoning partially constructed nests and selecting alternative sites. They earn this right, as they're usually doing all the construction work, although males have been observed with nesting materials, helping to build and repair nests.
Look for their 6-8"-diameter, large bulky nests near water, agricultural fields or near human habitation. They are usually built four to twenty feet above the ground. If you find a bird on the nest, it will most likely be an incubating female (slightly less glossy than male) – males not only do not have a brood patch and do not participate in incubating the eggs or brooding the young, but roughly half of the males desert their mates during this time. Those that do remain participate in the feeding of their young nestlings.
Downy Woodpeckers are beginning to scout for potential nest sites, preferring the dead stubs of a living or dead tree. Both sexes have been observed selecting the nest site, although females do so more commonly. Just because you see a Downy Woodpecker pecking at a site, however, doesn't mean it will end up nesting there, as excavation is often started at several sites before one is chosen.
Thanks in large part to the Vermont Bald Eagle Restoration Initiative, seeing eagles in Vermont is not all that unusual these days, even in winter. The open water of Lake Champlain (as well as ice fishermen and White-tailed Deer carcasses in other parts of the state) allow them to survive here during our coldest months. Vermont's mid-winter Bald Eagle Survey documented 84 eagles in January, 2018.
Equally as encouraging is the growing breeding population of eagles in this state. This past year 21 adult Bald Eagle pairs successfully produced 35 young in Vermont. The return of eagles to their nest site is always a much- anticipated event, which often coincides with the opening up of the Connecticut River for at least one pair that nests on its banks (see photo).
Eggs have been laid and eagles (both male and female) are engaged in incubating them for the next month. One can't help but be impressed by their perseverance — recently they endured three Nor'easters in 10 days while incubating their eggs (note snow on rim of nest)!
It's the lucky individual who happens upon a Black-throated Blue Warbler's nest while it is in use, for these birds tend to build their nest directly under leaves which keep the nest very well hidden. Now that many of the leaves have fallen off shrubs and saplings, where Black-throated Blue Warblers typically build their nests, they (nests) are especially noticeable, being at eye level or below.
The female warbler builds the nest, using a variety of material including white and yellow birch bark for the outer layer (glued together with spider silk and saliva), shredded bark fibers for the inner wall and fine black rootlets, pine needles, bits of moss and strands of mammal hair (horse, skunk, human, moose, porcupine and deer) for the lining. This combination of material makes their nest very distinctive and relatively easy to identify.
Although male Baltimore Orioles have been known to partake in nest building, usually it's the female who selects the specific site within the male's territory and builds the nest. Located at the tip of a slender branch, this pendulous nest provides its occupants with as much protection from predators as is possible.
The material with which the nest is started usually consists of flexible plant, animal or human-made fibers, and provides support. "Springy" fibers are then woven into the inner bowl and downy fibers are used to line the nest. The oriole usually brings only a single fiber at each visit, and works it into the nest with a complex series of bill-weaving techniques. The nest is completed in roughly one week.
YESTERDAY'S MYSTERY PHOTO: Once again, Naturally Curious readers outdid themselves with creative solutions to a Mystery Photo. If you want a thoroughly enjoyable 5 minutes of entertainment, read yesterday's comments! I will let you know if this mystery is ever solved.
I unintentionally neglected to mention the diameter of the holes in yesterday's Mystery Photo. They were approximately 5" wide. Bank Swallow nest holes, similar looking and also dug into banks, are anywhere from 1 ½" to 3" in diameter. Being colonial nesters, Bank Swallows also typically have many more nests in a given bank (see photo inset) than Belted Kingfishers, which usually have one but may have several in a single bank, only one of which they occurpy during a given season.
After courtship takes place, a pair of Belted Kingfishers flies to a sand bank in a road cut, landfill or sand/gravel pit that is usually near water, and proceed to excavate their nesting tunnel. The male begins to slash and probe the soil with his bill while the female remains perched nearby, calling the distinctive rattling call of Belted Kingfishers. She eventually lends a hand (bill) and they call to each other throughout the construction of their nest.
The tunnel extends three to six feet into the bank, ending with an unlined chamber. (A bed of undigested fish bones, scales and arthropod exoskeletons from regurgitated pellets eventually forms.) Typically the tunnel slopes upward from the entrance, which may help drain any water that accumulates in the nest. Furrows directly below the bottom of the nest hole are made by the feet of the birds as they enter and leave the nest. | c4 | 5 | 3 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUdZI4dbghTN2K2Ie7 | So, can there exist a happy middle ground? Can we be both special and One?
For the past five weeks, this blog and the WAYfinding groups have been exploring prayer and Sabbath. Both practices exist at the intersection of the individual and g/God. They live where specialness and personality meet our interconnectedness and it's blurring of our distinctions, the One. Consequently, the act of prayer or Sabbath serves as a microcosm for, and a practice in, balancing these things.
On the one hand, our personality demands permission to come to g/God by any means. To understand prayer and Sabbath as any posture, any way, any act where I'm, where you're, intentionally connecting to the deepest part of yourself, to God. Your specialness draws you to discover the practices that work for you, make sense to you, resonate in you. I'm a proponent of this!
I also think prayer and Sabbath are not all about you, about me. This is the other hand, our interconnectedness, the All, the One, g/God. When these practices are balanced, we allow g/God to "speak" as much as we do. We allow our interconnectedness, the One, to come to us by any means too. We allow It to expand us, rattle us, surprise us, move us. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 5 | 3 |

BkiUbLs5qoTDtpFhrJUy | The Fitchburg State University cheerleading team competed in the CanAm National Championship in Myrtle Beach, S.C., on March 16, winning first place in the Small Coed Collegiate division.
In addition to beating the 16 teams in their division, they also captured the collegiate high score, beating out 28 total teams in all collegiate divisions including All Girl Small, Medium, Large, and Large Coed.
This is the squad's second year as a competitive team and their first-ever national competition. The cheerleaders are coached by Jacki D'Innocenzo, who is in her third season with the Falcons and the former coach of St. Bernard's High School, two-time State and National Champions, and a coach at Cheer Central Stormz All Star Gym in Lancaster.
"This team has been working incredibly hard over the past two months. We've got a broad range of talent and experience, and it has somehow magically jelled to form a team that works together perfectly," she said.
Ms. D'Innocenzo made special note of Sports Club President Stephanie White and Team Captain Erin Killam: "Stephanie has been instrumental in making our trip a reality. She is very organized and spearheaded the team's fundraising efforts, which included working at Gillette Stadium special events and Patriots games starting last summer and ending in January. Without Steph's efforts, the kids would not have been able to afford the trip, which cost approximately $600 per athlete.

Invest in Youth -- Not Prisons.
This issue brief highlights the benefits of increasing the use of community-based alternatives for youth rather than incarceration in Illinois. It explains the use of incarceration has consequences that leave youth more likely to commit another crime and less likely to succeed in school, find employment, and become financially secure in the long run. It notes community-based approaches that promote rehabilitation are less expensive and that evidence-based therapies delivered in the community can reduce recidivism rates by more than 15% while helping youth remain in their community. Steps for…
Incarcerated and Formerly Incarcerated Individuals: Ongoing Research and Program Evaluation Efforts.
Several programs within the Administration for Children and Families work with incarcerated and formerly incarcerated individuals in an effort to promote economic self-sufficiency and social well-being for them and their families. As a part of that work, we also implement rigorous research and evaluation projects designed to improve our understanding of how best to serve these individuals. This brief highlights and describes these projects. (Author abstract)
The Crossover Youth Practice Model (CYPM) 2015. CYPM in Brief: Out-of-Home Placements and Crossover Youth.
The second in a series that addresses important issues facing those crossover youth who are dually-involved and the systems that serve them, this brief begins by explaining the Crossover Youth Practice Model (CYPM) was developed by the Center for Juvenile Justice Reform (CJJR) at the Georgetown University McCourt School of Public Policy to improve outcomes for youth who are dually-involved in the child welfare and juvenile justice systems. The model uses a research-based approach to assist child welfare, juvenile justice, and related agencies in adopting policies and practices that better…

Five Years Later: Final Implementation Lessons from the Evaluation of Responsible Fatherhood, Marriage and Family Strengthening Grants for Incarcerated and Reentering Fathers and Their Partners.
This research brief shares findings from an evaluation of the Responsible Fatherhood, Marriage and Family Strengthening Grants for Incarcerated and Reentering Fathers and Their Partners (MFS-IP), a program that funded services to support families in which one parent was incarcerated or recently released. The Office of Family Assistance (OFA) within the Administration for Children and Families of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services provided up to $500,000 per year for five years to twelve grantees.

Amachi in Brief.
The Amachi initiative was implemented in Philadelphia to reduce risks for children of incarcerated men and women. Research has found that these children are vulnerable because of the instability of their living situation as well as the feelings associated with having a parent in prison. Depression, poor academic achievement, substance abuse, and juvenile delinquency are more likely among the children of incarcerated parents than in the general population. Amachi seeks to provide a positive influence in these children's lives with adults recruited from faith-based communities. Big Brothers Big…

BkiUffDxK3YB9i3RNl4K | SKY WOLF'S CALL: A Photo/Illustration Masterpiece by Annick Press
The range of target ages for "picture books" can be debated, and this particular title and its related books from recent years are certainly aimed at upper age elementary or middle grades. Even so, this is a picture book of outstanding value and appeal. With support, it can be a valuable resource with younger ages as well.
Annick Press, 2022
SKY WOLF'S CALL: The Gift of Indigenous Knowledge is written by the award-winning team Eldon Yellowhorn and Kathy Lowinger. (The other titles in this masterful series are WHAT THE EAGLE SEES and TURTLE ISLAND.)
This latest addition to the titles about Indigenous People of North America (especially in the political area now known as Canada) reveals traditional knowledge and values related to WATER, FIRE and SMOKE, FOOD SECURITY, HEALING, SKY, and KEEPING KNOWLEDGE with the PEOPLE. The four foundations for all of these are stated on opening pages:
"Everything is connected.
The world is a gift.
The sacred is a vital part of knowing.
We are always learning."
The format for this title (and the series) incorporates traditional book elements (table of contents, index, picture captions, sidebars, chapter titles and subheadings, with back matter that includes glossary, bibliography, and added reading sources). The text itself is a readable and appealing blend of explanatory text, storytelling, and profiles of Indigenous knowledge leaders among past and contemporary communities. By spanning many centuries through legendary tales, historical practices, modern applications, archival photos and modern images with photos, illustrations, and diagrams, these brief but potent chapters are very user-friendly and also invite questions and participation from readers. I was especially pleased and impressed that the full presentation allows readers to see Natives as contemporary people in society, not as stereotypes or icons of some imagined/westernized past
The author points out early that traditional tales are under the ownership and rights of the particular Native nations and may not be told/shared without permission. In this case he chooses to share stories from his own Pikani heritage.
I first encountered these earlier titles through CYBILS AWARDS nominations and I welcome this latest addition. It is an ideal match for its intended yound audiences but is a worthy read for adults, too.

BkiUbfA5i7PA9Fz9mpuE | LGBT History Month: Virginia History; Part I: The Early Days
By Beth Marschak
As we see the real possibility of marriage equality throughout all of the United States, it's a good time to look back and see how far we have come, and how far we still have to go. If you had asked me back in the 1970's, when LGBTQ activism in Virginia really emerged, "What do you think will have changed in 40 or 50 years?" I would never have guessed marriage equality. Probably would have said antidiscrimination protection for employment, housing, etc, as well as elimination or major changes in the sodomy laws, and hopefully, changes around child custody. So, the Supremes have knocked out the sodomy laws, child custody has changed, but is still not where I would like to see it (especially if we include adoption and foster parenting), and we do not have a national or Virginia law barring discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender expression in employment, housing, etc. In the meantime, many more issues have gained our attention. But before we look at those in Parts II and III of this series, let's go way back in time. It is 1624, in the English colony at Jamestown. Richard Cornish is accused and convicted of sodomy; he was executed. That makes him the first person recorded to be executed for sodomy in what would become the United States. Pretty grim, and a reminder that our community, which still experiences violence and the threat of violence, was once subject to the ultimate legal act of violence – the death penalty. But even in those dismal times, we know that people continued to feel and act on their sexual orientation and gender identity. A very different story is the tale of the women pirates Anne Bonny and Mary Read, who sailed along the Virginia coast and likely came into the Chesapeake Bay and its river system. I first learned of them in the 1970's, when I was on vacation at the Outer Banks, and bought a booklet about pirates. As I read their brief story – you can easily find it in many versions online – I said to myself 'They were lesbians, or at least bisexuals in a lesbian relationship.' That was when I realized that our history is often hidden in narratives that we might recognize, but that many others would not see. After all, our frequent discussions about who is and who isn't, while they may seem like gossip, are actually an important survival skill – it is still important for us to be able to figure that out, as well as know if someone is safe or not. We can direct that skill in looking at historic narratives to find who is 'likely' and do further research. Of course, we can also start from 'gossip' of those we come in contact with, as they often know about things that may not be recorded. Apart from court records, we do know about people from those earlier times. There were women who served as men during the Revolutionary and Civil Wars – on both sides. A marker at the Virginia Capitol recognizes Anna Maria Lane who served as a soldier of the American Revolution; we know about her because she applied to the General Assembly for a pension, and was able to prove her service. We know about a number of women during the Civil War, usually because they were discovered and charged. There are court records and newspaper accounts about them. What we do not know is what their sexual orientation was – some could have been lesbians – or whether they considered themselves to be men or simply doing what made sense to them in order to do a 'man's job.' One famous Richmonder Lewis Ginter, in his day the wealthiest man in Richmond and a generous philanthropist, had a companion and business partner John Pope, and they lived together. Neither ever married. According to the Richmond Times-Dispatch obituary, "Mr. Pope never married but lived quietly with Major Ginter, for whom he possessed the most ardent affection." His niece Grace Arents inherited some of his fortune, and she provided many public works including what is now St. Andrews School, a free library, a public bath house, subsidized housing and the Visiting Nurses Association. She lived out her life with her companion Mary Garland Smith, and her will provided Smith with one third of Arents' wealth and lifetime rights to live at their home, Bloemendaal. Arents' will provided that after Smith's death the property would go to the City of Richmond to be used as a formal, public garden named after Lewis Ginter. A number of women who were suffragists are now recognized as lesbian, or having same sex partners. An interesting example is Lucy Randolph Mason who was also an early Director of the Richmond YWCA. She was a strong advocate for progressive labor legislation and testified before Congress for the Fair Labor Standards Act. She used her heritage as a First Families of Virginia to work for social change, and became a labor organizer in the South for the Congress of Industrial Organizations. Part II will cover more recent Virginia history.

BkiUdnzxK03BfJXww1px | The Quakers Act 1695 was an Act of the Parliament of England which allowed Quakers to substitute an affirmation where the law previously required an oath. The Act did not apply to the oaths required when giving evidence in a criminal case or to serve on a jury or to hold any office of profit from the Crown. It allowed legal proceedings to be taken against Quakers before a justice of the peace for refusing to pay tithes if the amount claimed did not exceed £10.
The Act would have expired in seven years but, in 1702, Parliament extended it for another eleven years by the Affirmation by Quakers Act 1701. In 1715, it was made permanent and applied also to Scotland.
Repeal
The Act, except sections 3 and 4, was repealed by the Statute Law Revision Act 1867. The remaining sections were repealed by the Statute Law (Repeals) Act 1969.

BkiUcNs25V5hdn6rQzR- | Q: JS Flow: How to initialize an empty object and set type as an argument to a function? I have a React reducer that sets an active user which is an object. I want the initial state to be an empty object, {}. However, I cannot figure out the syntax. This is my attempt:
// @flow
import { SET_ACTIVE_USER } from '../actions/types';
type action = {
type: string,
payload: Object,
};
const state: Object = {};
export default (state: state, action: <action>) => {
switch(action.type) {
case SET_ACTIVE_USER:
return action.payload;
}
return state;
}
I have also tried doing this:
(state: Object = {}, action: <action>) but it doesn't work either.
This is the full error message from running flow:
12: export default (state: state, action: <action>) => {
^ Unexpected token ,
Another attempt was to mimic the parameter that's working like this:
// @flow
...
type state = {};
export default (state: <state>, action: <action>) : Object => {
...
I have read through the documentation but I cannot find out the right syntax.
I had a syntax error elsewhere and fixing it along with converting it to this appears to have worked. Unsure of why that would be the case.
export default (state: Object = {}, action: action) : Object => {
So, I guess my question becomes, what is the right way to do this?
Thanks
A: In my opinion state is of type any. The type Object, for example, doesn't have a member a (that in this case is just an example).
/* @flow */
type state = {
[key: string] : any
};
type ACTION_TYPE = string;
interface action {
type: ACTION_TYPE,
payload: any
}
export default (action: action, state: state): state => {
return { a: '' };
};
edits
type state = any could be even type state = {[key: string]: any} because is always true to assert that is an object with their keys of type string.
edits declaring state as Object: try to have a look at this playground
A: Try const state: {[string]: mixed}. (Object as map)
You should avoid using any https://flow.org/en/docs/types/any/#toc-avoid-leaking-anybecause it's easy to leak.
That said, you should probably be providing a complete initial state to your reducer. If you go this route and want to know about using Flow with Redux, there's good docs on the topic here.

Child of Mary
St. Joseph of Cupertino (Feast: September 18)
Joseph was born in 1603 in the small village of Cupertino, Italy, to very poor parents. After his father died, his mother spared him no love and considered him a burden. She would often abuse Joseph, which caused him to become slow and absentminded. He was forgetful, and wandered around the village with his mouth open, causing him to become nicknamed "Boccaperta," or "the gaper."
When he was seventeen, Joseph went out in search of a job. However, the abuse he suffered as a child caused him to lack self discipline, and he never lasted long.
The first two times he tried to enter religious life, he was turned away, but the third time, the Conventual Franciscans of Grottella accepted him as a stable boy. Joseph came closer to Christ, and often did extreme fasting and acts of mortification. He was ordained in 1628 after a five-year struggle with his priestly studies.
During the seventeen years Joseph remained at Grottella, God worked many amazing miracles through him. Over seventy times, people saw him rise from the ground while saying Mass or praying and he often went into ecstasy and would be completely rapt up in talking with God. Joseph became so famous for these miracles that he was often followed by large crowds of people and had to be kept hidden.
From 1653 until his death, Joseph was placed in complete seclusion from the outside world, restricted from writing letters and receiving visitors. Though he was isolated from humanity, he became even more loved of God: his supernatural manifestations had begun to occur daily, and his seclusion left him free of distraction to pray.
Joseph fell ill and died in 1663. He was canonized by Pope Clement XIII in 1776.

Agnes was born around 291 in a Christian, patrician family of Rome, and suffered martyrdom in the terrible persecution of Diocletian.
As a young maiden, she pledged herself to Christ and defended her virginity to the death.
Exceptionally beautiful, she turned down numerous suitors, but when she refused Procop, the Prefect's own son, things became very complicated. Procop tried to win Agnes with gifts and promises but she answered: "I'm already promised to the Lord of the Universe. He is more splendid than the sun and the stars, and He has said He will never leave me!"
Angered, Procop took the maiden before his father, and accused her of being a Christian. The Prefect tried to turn her from her Faith first by cajolements, and then by placing her in chains, but she only rejoiced.
The pagan official, set on overcoming Agnes by any means, next had her taken to a house of prostitution but she was visibly protected by an angel.
Finally, Agnes was condemned to death, but she was happy as a bride about to meet her bridegroom. Even pagan bystanders were moved to tears at the sight of the radiant maiden going to her death, and begged her to relent, to which she retorted: "If I were to try to please you, I would offend my Spouse. He chose me first and He shall have me!" Then praying, she offered her neck for the death stroke.
St. Agnes is one of seven women besides the Blessed Virgin to be mentioned in the Canon of the Mass. She is the patron of chastity, young girls, engaged couples, rape victims and virgins. She is depicted holding a lamb as her name in Latin means "lamb", "agnus". But the name "Agnes" is actually taken from the Greek "hagne" meaning chaste, pure, sacred.
Agnes' relics repose beneath the high altar of the Church of Sant'Agnese Fuori le mura, built upon the place she was originally buried. This church was built in her honor by the daughter of the Emperor Constantine, and is one of the oldest in Rome. St. Agnes' skull is in the Church of Sant'Agnese in Agone at Piazza Navona.
WEEKLY STORY
One night, the Blessed Virgin appeared to him and told him h...
Mary and the Muslim
Don Octavio del Monaco was a wealthy citizen of 17th century Naples. Like many of his class, Don Octavius had several Muslim slaves in his household. These children of Islam were amazed at the kindness of their "master." He fed and clothed them better than they received in their native land. In return, his slaves attended to their tasks with diligence, as Don Octavius did not over work them, but assigned them duties in keeping with their dignity as children of God.
If these Muslim slaves had any reason for complaint, it was the gentle persistence with which their master and his wife exhorted them to give up their false religion and become Catholics. Don Octavius even went so far as to invite the slaves to join his family in the chapel to worship the one true God with them!
Our story today is about one young slave in particular. His name was Abel, like the slain son of Adam and Eve. He felt drawn in a peculiar way to a lamp that burned in front of a shrine to Holy Mary. Abel would purchase the oil needed to keep the lamp lit from his own meager stipend. As he continued to practice this humble devotion, he would say, "I hope that this Lady will grant me some great favor."
One night, the Blessed Virgin appeared to him and told him he must become a Christian. At first the Turk resisted. But she placed her hand upon his shoulder, and said to him: "Now no longer resist, Abel, but be baptized and called Joseph," conferring on him a name that was very dear to her Immaculate Heart indeed.
On August the 10th, 1648, there was much rejoicing in Heaven, for on that day "Joseph" and eleven other Muslims converted to the Christian faith and were baptized. Their conversion was brought about by the kindness shown by Don Octavius and the special intercession of the Mother of God.
Our story does not end here. Even once this son of hers was safely baptized, Mother Mary delighted in visiting him. Once, after having appeared to him, she was about to depart. But the Moor seized her mantle, saying, "Oh, Lady, when I find myself afflicted, I pray you to let me see you." In fact, she one day promised him this and when Joseph found himself afflicted he invoked her, and Mary appeared to him again saying, "Have patience", and he was consoled.
From the Glories of Mary, by St. Alphonsus Maria de Liguori.
One night, the Blessed Virgin appeared to him and told him he must become a Christian.

BkiUbXI5qdmB61-1YcZ5 | Just in time for World Bread Day 2016, I received my copy of Stanley Ginsberg's The Rye Baker in the mail.
I met Stanley several years ago at the The Fresh Loaf, when he looked for test bakers for his first book, "Inside the Jewish Bakery". Though, at that stage, some recipes still were a bit rough around the edges (my husband complained about feeling like a guinea pig!), the book was well worth it, and his Onion Rolls are still a great favorite with my customers.
Leafing through the The Rye Baker, a cluster of spiral shaped savory rolls caught my eye. Not only because the "Swabian Rye Flower" looked so attractive - it was made with a laminated rye dough!
Laminating the dough was not for the faint hearted. The recipe requires vegetable shortening for the fat layer. I had made croissants before, and if butter and dough are sufficiently chilled, the fat stays put during the rolling and folding process.
Soft shortening is more difficult to contain.
On this day neither my hands, nor the rolling pin or work bench needed any lubrication - Crisco took care of it! Fortunately, most of the shortening behaved, staying within the dough, and the fat leakage during baking was not more than to be expected.
To learn more, see the formula, the procedure (published with Stanley Ginsberg's permission!) and my take on it, please, follow me to my blog "Brot & Bread".
were made with lard before Crisco came about or butter flavored Crisco:-) This recipe alone would make the book worth the cost! Can't wit to make it as stand alone rolls too - with lard!
Well done and happy baking Karin.
I can imagine it would be good with lard - in Germany it's not so shunned as here in the US, we use it (with fried apple pieces and onions) even as schmear on bread.
1/3 duck fat, 1/3rd chicken schmaltz and 1/3 bacon fat. Put some on carrots and spuds and then season with salt, pepper, onion and garlic powder with a bit of smoked paprika and then roast the veggies at 375 F for about and hour stirring at the half. Best roasted veg ever!
It would be great in these rolls too! Lets not talk about pastries.........I got a killer deal on hemp seeds ta Sprouts the other day. They were giving away hemp hearts in little packages and I took them all - better than $12.99 a pound. AZ is getting ready to legalize recreational pot and these fools try to ban ban hemp seeds.......can't fix stupid! Lucy is going to do an update on Hempy Dopey Baguettes using sprouted flour for the whole grains in a bran levain this time...... and they will come in handy.
Say hi to your mom for me. I just saw a great public television show on how great a trip to Hamburg is today and was very impressed with the city...... reminded me of Scandinavia with the water in the port - no mention of bread though.
You should think of a second career and open a restaurant! I bet it would be a great success!
Meanwhile I'm in Hamburg, found one good bakery in nearby, and earn my badge for "Urban Boot" from fitbit, walking off all the pastry I'm eating (for strictly scientific continuing baking education purposes, of course!).
Plan a trip - first Maine, then Hamburg - it's worth it!
Thanks, Karin, for sharing them with us. I'm envious that you already received your copy of Stan's book, but I'm very much looking forward to meeting him and getting my own copy this weekend at his signing event at Grist & Toll, in Pasadena. Hope to see other Fresh Loafians, too!
have/had fun at the event, Cathy. I baked already two breads from the book. The Bavarian Rye tasted great, too.
First time to hear a bread like this. I agree, lard or schmaltz will make this better. What a great book! I just wish I can have it and try some recipes; it's still far from now.
I hope you'll have a chance to try some of the breads. When I'm back from my trip to Germany, I will continue my exploration of "The Rye Baker". | c4 | 2 | 1 | 4 | 1 |
BkiUdQA5qsBC5lINcVCV | I've spent the last two days at the annual International Fire and SECurity (IFSEC) show in Birmingham.
I'm an old hand at it, having visited many times before. This year was definitely the year for launching H.264 video compression and Megapixel cameras.
Each year has its unofficial theme, in previous years it has been video analytics, MPEG4 compression, the DVR boom, day/night switching …….
Caveat emptor (or buyer beware) should be writ large above these new launches. Often the products you are shown are simply not actually available, in the worst cases they are still not available when IFSEC comes around in the following year. So, beware the vapour ware!!!
Equally worrying as you trawl the stands are the oft-heard quotes from the staff "I only saw this for the first time yesterday" / "we only finished the software on Sunday" / "the chap that can demonstrate that has just gone to lunch, can you come back later?".
IFSEC remains a unique opportunity to see all the security market manufacturers side-by-side, and remains a must-see show for anybody in the business of selecting and specifying equipment.
There are still a few tweaks to complete, lots more content to be added to the website, and we continue to find additional leading-edge IP products that we'd like to bring to your attention …. so I guess we'll always be adding new products!

Fatal Error: Added field has duplicate identifier(): APT_TRinput0Rec99 (ALR_DATIBAS3.FilterFieldError)
The transformer has 181 constraints and nothing special, what can i try to solve it?
| stackexchange | 1 | 4 | 2 | 1 |
BkiUap7xK6nrxq6DlJS0 | 1. Utilize the "New School Year Data Import" script for the upcoming year. Click on the Integratis symbol in the upper right hand corner and go to the Scripts tab. Click on "New School Year Data Import" on the right hand side and follow the automated steps in the script as outlined below. Watch our tutorial video!
If you use the "New School Year Data Import" script, you can skip to Step 6 below.
Additionally, update the school year dates in the Preferences tab.
3. Switch Existing Students to New Assigned Classrooms (if not already done within "New School Year Data Import" script in Step 1) for the upcoming year. Go to each student and click on the "+" symbol next to the teacher's name. Select the child's new teacher from the dialog window. If the teacher is not on the list, make sure your Staff information is up-to-date. Once you have switched a child to the correct teacher, mark "Yes" in the Current Student field to help differentiate between students that have been switched to their current classroom and students who have not been switched. For new students, like Kindergartners, be sure to check if their Parent is listed as a Parent or Alumni because they may have already had a child attend the school and so are in the directory.
4. Find the students that are NOT marked "Yes" as a current student and delete them (if not already done within "New School Year Data Import" script in Step 1), once all students have been switched in the step above. This will include deleting students that graduated last year as well as students that did not return. See the Managing Alumni Information Help Section for more information about deleting student information and having Membership Keeper automatically covert the information into Alumni data.
5. Import New Students and Families to Membership Keeper. New student data will likely contain parent information too. Utilize the "New School Year Data Import" in Step 1 which includes a temporary data holding table to greatly reduce the risky of accidentally overwriting existing files. Once student and parent information is imported, parents will have to be matched with households and students will have to be matched with households. Once these links are made, click the Yes radio button for Current Student to help keep track Student data that is fully imported and linked.
6. Email Contact Questionnaire Forms to parents/guardians via Membership Keeper to those for whom you have an email address. Be sure to update the due date on the layout. Utilize the Email/Print Contact Info Questionnaire script by clicking on the Integratis Logo in the upper right hand corner and going to the Scripts tab. Your Internet Service Provider will likely have limits on how many emails you can send a day, so be sure not to exceed their limits (enter an ISP Max under the Preferences tab). Emailing these forms may have to happen over several days or coordinate having several people send the emails.
7. Print Contact Questionnaire Forms that are "already filled-in" via Membership Keeper for families that have not provided email addresses. Utilize the Email/Print Contact Info Questionnaire script by clicking on the Integratis Logo in the upper right hand corner and going to the Scripts tab.
8. Distribute the printed Contact Information Questionnaire forms to teachers via their school mailboxes or by distributing them to classrooms (or email PDFs to teachers). Ask teachers to return all updated forms to the School Directory Coordinator.
"Every year our organization produces a Directory with contact information for Staff and Families. It is a wonderful resource and the Directory committee wants to make sure we include the contact information you want to share.
School Directory Contact Information Questionnaires were emailed to parents recently. If we do not have your email address, we sent home a printed Contact Questionnaire from your child's teacher. If you have not heard from us, please contact us (give email address)."
10. Obtain updated Room Parent List from Room Parent Coordinator and enter into Membership Keeper by going to the Staff page and clicking on the Room Parents tab.
11. Obtain an updated Staff List by printing a Staff List from the Staff Reports tab and asking the principal or school secretary to update it with changes/corrections.
12. Prepare and distribute "Last Chance" forms to teachers by updating parent/guardian information in the database from Contact Information Questionnaires that have been returned via email or printed forms. The Last Chance form is a second pass so that families may check their directory contact information before it is printed. Be sure to distribute the Last Chance Cover Sheet with one flyer for every student in the class (both forms can be found by going to the Staff Reports tab).
13. Take photos of any new teachers or any teachers that would like an updated photo for their class page.
14. Check with the school secretary for any recent changes to student rosters and staff changes once you think the directory is about ready to print. Collect and/or confirm room numbers and email addresses for staff.
15. Assemble the final document (all pages) into one PDF; this will help you catch errors in complete layout. The Classroom pages should be included in the same order as the Staff List; typically by grade and sub-sorted by room number. Utilize the Sort Order field on the Staff List Page to customize the order of your staff and pages.
16. Send final PDF of the directory to the printer. The printer needs several days to get the directory printed, folded, stapled and delivered to the school. To figure how many copies the printer should print, go to the Students tab, then select the Reports tab. Click on Schoolwide Distribution "Green" Class Lists (All Students). Go to the last page of the report and it will tell you how many families will need a copy, such as 400 out of 550. The green class list calculates one directory per family. In addition, estimate how many teachers will be provided a copy.
17. Distribute the School Directory to each classroom. Be sure to include the Directory Distribution Memo (found under the Staff Reports tab) so that teachers will know which child will be taking home the families' directory. Also leave an extra copy for the teacher. | c4 | 4 | 3 | 4 | 1 |

PRAYER PLEDGE: Rally around the Cross to end the coronavirus pandemic Sign the petition here.
March 20, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) — Are you stuck inside because of the coronavirus pandemic? Here are nine things you can do from home for the pro-life cause.
Write a letter to an unexpectedly pregnant mom
Embrace Grace is an organization that equips churches to serve women facing unplanned pregnancies.
"Through our two discipleship programs, we have 700+ active support groups and 6,000+ women have been empowered to learn how to have hope again," Embrace Grace explains on its website.
Embrace Grace gives women considering abortion "love boxes" containing, among other gifts, a letter of hope from a stranger. All you need to do is print a template from Embrace Grace's website, write the letter, and mail it to their headquarters.
During these strange times, Luke 21:11 has been on my mind: "And there shall be great earthquakes in divers places and pestilences and famines and terrors from heaven: and there shall be great signs."
Then there's this passage in John 10:12: "The hired hand is not the shepherd and does not own the sheep. So when he sees the wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and runs away. Then the wolf attacks the flock and scatters it." (The entire continent of North America, much of Europe, and other parts of the world are or are about to be without public Masses, ordered by bishops and priests with not much more than a shrug; an "I'm sorry, we know this is difficult" letter; and a reminder about hand-washing.)
Family members typically benefit when you pray the rosary, too. There's something about the rosary that puts the soul at peace. My husband knows I'm far less crabby after praying a rosary than before.
And in your charity, pray for me, too; it's been very hard for me not to feel despair during this time.
Learn more about a specific pro-life topic
Time stuck at home can be used to brush up on anti-abortion apologetics, learn about the evils of medical experimentation on embryonic humans, study the case against euthanasia, and educate yourself on the abortion industry.
Here are some resources:
Live Action's investigations into Planned Parenthood and the abortion industry, showing their willingness to help sex-traffickers and the brutal reality of late-term abortion
The Center for Medical Progress's videos showing Planned Parenthood selling baby body parts
The Van Maren Show: Interviews with pro-life, pro-family leaders about topics like pornography, parental rights, transgenderism, freedom, and more
Edgy pro-life memes to share: Abortion. It's a Black White Issue
Students for Life of America: Learn the basics on abortion, receive pro-life activism training through a special free portal, and watch a ton of videos debunking myths and pro-abortion talking points
Stephanie Gray's blog Love Unleashes Life
Join LifeSite Connect and talk with like-minded pro-lifers
LifeSite Connect is the social networking app for the pro-life movement.
Listen to these two spiritual conferences
These two talks were given during an Advent retreat but are totally appropriate for Lent and in light of the recent cowardice of so many Church leaders during this uneasy time. These talks focus on the four last things (death, judgment, Heaven, and Hell) and the end times.
Watch or listen to The John-Henry Westen Show
Learn about the coronavirus from China expert Steven Mosher or watch the uplifting conversion story of an award-winning photographer and punk rocker who is now a religious brother on his way to becoming a Catholic priest.
LifeSite also hosts Mother Miriam Live and The Van Maren Show.
Apparently, the coronavirus is particularly dangerous for old people, whose valuable lives we have a duty to protect. You could offer to bring groceries or other supplies to an elderly person who is self-quarantining, taking proper precautions not to expose him or yourself to germs.
Watch a pro-life movie
This one's really easy. Here is a list of some pro-life movies, most of which can easily be streamed for free or purchased online.
Gosnell: America's Biggest Serial Killer
3801 Lancaster: American Tragedy
October Baby
Also, one of my colleagues has informed me that the 1941 film Blossoms in the Dust has a pro-life message.
The pro-life group Created Equal also has produced an amazing documentary, Abortion: A Doctrine of Demons, showing the connections between abortion and satanism.

Smell PGH—a mobile app built by Carnegie Mellon University's CREATE Lab—has provided residents with a tool to sniff out the sources behind noxious, and possibly dangerous odors in their neighborhoods. And in Pittsburgh, a city with notoriously poor air quality, it comes in especially handy. CREATE Lab claims that since they launched the app 10 months ago, it's been downloaded more than 1,300 times and has been used to report foul odors more than 4,300 times.
Now CREATE Lab has released an improved version of the app to further empower average citizens impacted by the stink of pollution.
Researchers at CREATE Lab rolled out a new set of features for Smell PGH, which works by allowing users to track and report instances of bad smells in and around their homes, work, schools and other places they frequent. The app now includes helpful time-lapse animations on its map, which shift and change based on smell reports submitted throughout the day.
Screenshot of Smell PGH app with the new time-lapse feature.
"These features enable residents to better understand how changes in wind speed and direction, coupled with Pittsburgh's air quality and topography, contribute to the pollution odors they experience," says CREATE Lab project director Beatrice Dias.
Smell PGH was inspired by CREATE Lab's experience with the Neville Island citizen action group Allegheny County Clean Air Now and their battle with Shenango Coke Works, a smoke-spewing plant they deemed responsible for making their community practically unlivable. CREATE Lab then developed the app with support from The Heinz Endowments and with help from several local environmental groups, including Allegheny County Clean Air Now, PennEnvironment and the Group Against Smog and Pollution.
CREATE Lab also works with the Allegheny County Health Department to ensure that all foul air complaints are forwarded for investigation. As part of that process, Smell PGH users are able to note the nature and intensity of smells, as well as any symptoms they might be experiencing, such as headaches or nausea.
Smell PGH is available to download in the iTunes and Google Play stores. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 2 |

The Wellcome Trust Bloomsbury Centre for Global Health Research was established in 1995 as the Bloomsbury Centre for Clinical Tropical Medicine, a partnership between the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) and the Institute of Child Health at University College London (UCL). It was later joined by Barts and the London School of Medicine and Dentistry at Queen Mary University London, the Institute of Psychiatry at King's College London, and St George's University London.
The Centre itself is no longer funded by the Wellcome Trust but does manage and support PhD Programmes funded by the Trust.
In 2007 LSHTM was awarded a Wellcome Trust Clinical PhD Programme in International Health, comprising three fellowships per year for six years. We recruited an additional 18 outstanding young clinicians to this programme, who undertook their research in 7 countries in Asia and Africa.
In 2016, LSHTM was awarded another Clinical PhD Programme funded by the Wellcome Trust for Global Health Research. This Programme recruited four medical fellows per year from 2017 to 2021, who undertook research across Africa, Peru, and the Middle East. It is a partnership between LSHTM, UCL, QMUL, KCL, SGUL, and Brighton and Sussex Medical School – BSMS.
In 2021, LSHTM was awarded another PhD Programme funded by the Wellcome Trust but has broadened its scope to all health professionals and not just medical doctors. We are exited to be able to offer all health professionals the opportunity to be fully funded to study and research a PhD with any of our partners. This Programme aims to recruit up to 5 health professionals per year for the next 5 years from academic intake year 2022. It is a partnership between 5 UK institutions (LSHTM, QMUL, KCL, SGUL, BSMS) and 6 African institutions (Zambart, Biomedical and Research Training Institute – BRTI, Centre for Innovative Drug Development and Therapeutic Trials for Africa – CDT-Africa, Zvitambo Institute for Maternal and Child Health Research, MRC Gambia, MRC Uganda).
The Bloomsbury Centre has supported many outstanding clinical scientists who have made a major contribution to improving health worldwide. Since 2009 our fellows have published many peer-reviewed papers, in Nature, the Lancet, PLoS Medicine, Clinical Infectious Diseases, the Journal of Infectious Diseases, and AIDS. Many of these have influenced policy and practice.
Most of our fellows have been from the UK but, in the past 10 years, the Centre has become increasingly committed to building research capacity in our partner institutions in low and middle income countries. For example Alison Elliott, a former Senior Fellow based at the Uganda Virus Research Institute, applied successfully to the Wellcome Trust in 2007 for a Strategic Award programme, the Makerere – UVRI Research Training Programme in Infection and Immunity (MUII: www.muii.org.ug). This brought together research groups at those two institutions with researchers based at LSHTM and Cambridge University. Together with her research programme, this enabled us to support research training for 10 Masters, 11 PhD students and 7 post-doctoral fellows from Uganda. Vikram Patel, a former Senior Fellow based at the Public Health Foundation of India, was awarded a Wellcome Trust Strategic Award to establish the South Asia Network for Chronic Disease, to build multidisciplinary research capacity through sharing of skills and knowledge between 8 network partners in the region, with the goal of improving the prevention and control of chronic disease.

BkiUfvA241xiMtsGB8l1 | Q: sql query for the below pattern I have a table : Name
When I do a : SELECT * FROM Name, it give the results as :
Name
======
aaa
bbb
ccc
sss
I want the result to be like in one row only :
Name

How can I get this?
A: Try this one -
DECLARE @temp TABLE

INSERT INTO @temp (col)
VALUES
('aaa'),
('bbb'),
('ccc'),

Or try this -
DECLARE @string NVARCHAR(MAX) = ''
SELECT @string = @string + col + ' '
FROM @temp
SELECT @string
A: Please try:
SELECT
(SELECT ColumnName + ' '
FROM YourTable
FOR XML PATH(''),type).value('.','nvarchar(max)') AS [Name]
A: May be over-egging the pudding for your requirement but a CLR aggregate function for concatenating rows into single values is a very handy thing to have in your toolbox. Something like below. Runs much faster than xml in my experience, and supports GROUP BY etc so is quite powerful. Only works in SQL2k8 or above and will blow up if it concats a string to over 2GB.

BkiUbh3xK7Ehm2ZQzPQF | Sports: Lincoln City duo attracting interest from Championship clubs
More exciting sports news from around Lincolnshire…
Lincoln City pair Bruno Andrade and Ellis Chapman are attracting interest from higher-league clubs.
Lincolnshire Live understands Aston Villa and Portsmouth are keen on Andrade, who was one of the Imps' standout players in their championship-winning season.
Villa could be a Premier League club next season and currently lead West Brom 2-1 ahead of the Championship play-off semi-final second leg tonight.
The winners will meet Leeds United or Derby County in the final.
Portsmouth are embroiled in the League One play-offs and currently trail Sunderland 1-0 on aggregate ahead of their semi-final second leg on Thursday.
Andrade, who joined the Imps last summer from National League Boreham Wood, has a year remaining on his current contract.

Meanwhile, homegrown midfielder Chapman is also set to be a player in demand this summer.
The 18-year-old is believed to be on the radar of Frank Lampard's Derby, Premier League Southampton and Championship side Wigan Athletic.
Like Andrade, Chapman's current contract is due to expire next summer.
Chapman was a regular in the Imps' first-team squad during the first half of the season, but fell down the midfield pecking order following the arrival of Mark O'Hara on loan from Peterborough in January.
Chapman went out on loan to Chesterfield to secure regular first-team football and helped the Spireites pull clear of the National League relegation zone.
Imps boss Danny Cowley would be reluctant to let either man go, but every player has his price and it is understood any money made from transfers would be reinvested in the squad ahead of next season's League One campaign.
That has been in the case in recent seasons, with the Imps selling Sean Raggett to Norwich City in 2017, Alex Woodyard to Peterborough last summer and Matt Green to Salford City in December.
The sale of Woodyard, for example, created the finance which enabled the club to sign this season's leading scorer John Akinde.

BkiUbujxK6mkyCKCzb_t | omg… I need this in my life… did you happen to ask if they'll deliver to Melbourne?!
You can be sure I'll be trying my hardest to track some down! Will have to report back here with my findings :) Someone has just let me know that they've seen them sold in Woolies – so fingers crossed!
WAIT, you stayed in a BOAT HOUSE?! That's AMAZING!
Hi Terri, I just came across your blog! I also had such an obsession with Stroopwafels, so much that I started my own business specialising in them a couple of years ago. I am in Melbourne and do a few markets in the Eastern suburbs where I sell packets and make right in front of you the "Super Sized Stroopwafels" just as they do in the markets in the Netherlands, hot off the waffle iron!! I do have a website http://www.screamingwaffles.com.au feel free to check it out. You can order online and I can post them OR you can pick up from my place OR one of the markets I attend.
Omg! I *just* had my first experience with this! We were at a family party with D's Polish family and one of them bought a packet of this from Netherlands. I took one bite and I was in love!! We were also told to put it over a cup of hot tea and melt the caramel inside. Mmmm I'm dreaming of some right now! | c4 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 1 |

BkiUaw_xK4sA-7sDc4UF | What you just stared at is the updated Volkswagen Scirocco, whose cosmetic makeover is much-needed since this model has been around since 2008. If it reminded you of Hello Kitty, we wouldn't blame you--it did the same for us. Blame it on the whiskers, which the German carmaker actually calls "aerodynamic blades," the same ones found on the Golf GTI.
"The narrow blades and a black, open-topped frame in the bumper form a striking contrast for light paint," says Volkswagen in the press statement. "The large cooling air inlet in the lower area of the front section and the upper air inlet are kept black. Together with the XL1 and the Beetle, the Scirocco is also the only Volkswagen where the VW logo is on the hood. In order to protect the front section better against damages when parking, the ParkPilot is now also provided for the front bumper."
The new Scirocco also has new bi-xenon headlights, a narrow LED contour below the xenon module, bumper-installed indicator and fog lights, new LED rear lights, a new boot lid, a new black diffuser, LED lights for the license plate, and new-design 17- and 18-inch wheels.
We've also included a photo of the Scirocco R below so you can differentiate it from the standard version. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUc1zxK1yAga6Jrjnq | The season is over and life has shifted. My wife and I have moved from baseball 24/7 to "real life" again. Quite literally, too. We've moved from Savannah, into Ashley's mom's house, then into our apartment in near Collier Hills, Atlanta. I've loaded my car (my compact sedan...of course) full of boxes, furniture, TV's, gardening tools, clothes, and a Brita Water Filter (I just can't find it). For a solid week I drove around with my life in my car...my baseball life that is.
I live two distinctly different lives every six months. My baseball life is not 9 to 5. It's more like 2 to 11, which wreaks havoc on normalcy. It means I sleep in, eat at weird times, and spend more time at home (things close at 11). Baseball consumes life in nearly every aspect. Relationships that once had broad bases are boiled down to "how's ball going?" or "So, when you getting home?". You lose dinner dates because of extra innings and breakfast dates because of workouts. Life becomes one never-ending game (140 innings long). It's easy for me because I love it. It's not easy for everyone else because it takes no prisoners, asks no permission, and leaves a trail of tears (not a Native American reference) for 6 long months.
So it's good to be back. Back into the 9 to 5 swing. The life where dinner really does come before 8 and where people hang out after their jobs. I like a life where the only roommate you have is your best friend (no offense baseball roomies) and your stuff is really yours. I have a job just like the summer only this one doesn't consistently make me sweat more than most people. I miss playing ball and could honestly do it for another 6 months. I don't, however, miss the life it forces me to lead and the life it forces Ashley to bear.
Yet I'll blink and it'll be back, so I'm not worried. We had 6 good months, broke up, and now I've finally got some closure in the relationship...but we can still be friends. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUc7XxK6mkyCKC0je1 | Ford: Al-Assad Won and Washington Failed in Uniting Opposition
Source: France 24
In an interview with France 24, the US former ambassador to Syria Robert Ford admits Bashar al-Assad's victory, among other things.
Former US ambassador to Syria, Robert Ford.
In an exclusive interview with France 24, former US ambassador to Syria Robert Ford said that the "US policy has failed to establish a Syrian government through negotiations," in addition to failing to unite the Syrian "opposition" groups.
Ford also mentioned that there are many divisions between the "opposition" groups, which were present since the beginning, contributing to the US' failure in achieving its interests.
He noted that "As the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad is present, and controls 70% of the Syrian territory, including major cities, the armed opposition is unable to remove him," stressing that "despite the destruction of the Syrian economy, in the end, Assad won the war."
Ford also acknowledged that "the United States bears responsibility for what happened in Syria," admitting "we armed ["opposition"] groups open to finding solutions through negotiations."
On Arab coexistence
Ford said that Arab countries such as the UAE, Egypt and Jordan have recognized the authority of the Syrian government, acknowledging that it is 'here to stay' and that Arab countries will have to find a way to coexist with it.
While he revealed that no US politician encourages restoring diplomatic relations with Damascus, he considered that the US' circumstances are different when it comes to Syria's Arab neighbors.
However, this does not mean that Washington is happy with the Arab efforts to coexist with Damascus," also saying that the US is unable to offer an alternative to these offers.
The reconciliation efforts, according to Ford, could be seen in examples like UAE Foreign Minister Abdallah bin Zayed Al Nahyan's recent visit to Damascus. The UAE foreign minister, last March, said that "Syria's return to its Arab surroundings is inevitable, and it is in the interest of Syria and the region."
When it came to whether Arab countries would be sanctioned for restoring relations with Damascus, Ford ruled out the possibility, saying that Biden's efforts are currently focused on Asia.

Amid pandemic, amateur radio societies in Northern Canada are seeking new recruits

Amateur radio operator Geoff Grant (VY1BG) transmits messages to Terrace, B.C., during Operation Nanook, a communications exercise the Yukon Amateur Radio Association participated in with health services and the military. The association has seen growing interest in online courses since self-isolation orders were put in place. (Yukon Amateur Radio Association)
Amateur radio enthusiast Ron Thompson has made contact with Russia from Yellowknife. He's also used it to reach his wife to get milk from the store.
He's part of the Yellowknife Amateur Radio Society, which is joining other radio societies to recruit people to study as licensed operators during their self-isolation.
Amateur radio is useful for emergency communications during natural disasters, but it can also be used for fun, for local non-commercial communications.
Once someone passes the test, they can set themselves up for just a few hundred dollars and some harvested parts from other technology, or they can spend tens of thousands of dollars, said Thompson.
The call for recruits went out this month, but with a pandemic keeping people at home, the online courses are filling up quickly, said Thompson.
Welder's Daughter frontwoman, Karen Novak is planning to get her amateur radio license.
As a kid, Karen Novak found her love of amateur radio through her parents who owned many radios. (Submitted by Karen Novak)
On a typical weekend night, Novak is usually belting out a Cher cover at the Gold Range in Yellowknife.
With local bars closed over COVID-19, Novak said she has time to study for the exam.
Novak grew up on an acreage in Alberta and couldn't get TV signals. She first took an interest in amateur radio because her parents owned many shortwave radios.
Novak and her cousin (radio names: Glitter Girl and Black Cat) would use two-way CB radios to eavesdrop on traffic talk, storytelling and people's conversations to pass the time.
"It was almost like a party line," she said.
They would listen for hours. As an adult, she became an "electronics geek," drawn to communicating with the world and listening to the skies.
"As a synthesizer specialist, I deal with tones and modulating sound. I tune into those frequencies a lot with my work, so this just takes it to a whole other level."
She said there is room for experimentation with amateur radio.
"I don't think we've hit all the boundaries yet," she said.

More than a hobby
Yuuri Daiku (call sign VY1YU) is an amateur radio enthusiast in Whitehorse. He's taught many students the ways of amateur radio through the Yukon Amateur Radio Association.
As a kid, he would dismantle and reassemble electronics and radios. As an adult, he would transmit as far as South Africa and Ecuador.
In university, he mounted a small antenna to his fence in Victoria. He made a friend in Vancouver and they would talk about "anything and everything," he said.
But amateur radio can be for more than just casual conversation.
In the mid '80s, during a hurricane, Daiku worked with a network of operators to transmit critical information using a radio hooked up to a car battery.
Daiku said establishing backup communications independent of the power grid can be useful in emergency situations, especially in the North, a region prone to outages.
In 2012, amateur radio operators delivered critical information during a power outage that took out telecommunications in the Yukon for several hours, said Daiku.
Angela Gerbrandt decided to study for the radio operator's test because she wants to be able to run emergency communications if her town of Cambridge Bay, Nunavut, pictured here, is ever in need. (Mark Hadlari/CBC)
Potential for network of operators in North
Like Daiku, Angela Gerbrandt sees the value of amateur radios in a crisis. She decided to study for the radio operator's test because she wants to be able to run emergency communications if her town of Cambridge Bay, Nunavut, is ever in need.
When she finishes studying Morse code, she could be one of the only amateur radio operators in Nunavut.
She says she's studied diligently every weekend and by the summer, she expects to have her license.
Gerbrandt said the process has been challenging but when she sends that first transmission, she'll be "nervous and grateful."
As communities are tested by the impacts of climate change, it will be useful to have a network of radio operators, she said.
Gerbrandt said she hopes others in the communities will pursue their license. There is great potential to build a network of operators in Nunavut and around the North, she said.

BkiUdm7xK7FjYHGH0V6z | Zanzarah Leaves Astralis
League of Legends European Championship (LEC) team, Astralis, announced the departure of Nikolay "Zanzarah" Akatov.
Barry DeVoe
League of Legends European Championship (LEC) team, Astralis, announced the departure of Nikolay "Zanzarah" Akatov. The news surfaced on Thursday, April 28, while also hinting at big changes for LEC 2022 Summer.
Debut Stint In LEC Comes To An End
Astralis have officially parted ways with jungler Zanzarah, who leaves the European esports organization after one year and five months with the team. The news got announced on Thursday, shortly after Astralis had waved goodbye to two members of its LoL roster.
Zanzarah started his esports career in November 2014 with Team Just, and has since competed in several CIS squads. That includes Carpe Diem, Vega Squadron, and RoX, before he moved to KIYF eSports Club in Europe in September 2018.
The 25-year-old has remained in the European LoL scene ever since, having joined Origen BCN in January 2019 and Origen's main lineup as a substitute in September that year. Unfortunately, his stint with Origen was short-lived, as he moved out of the team after just two and a half months.
After taking a short break, Zazarah found his new home at AGO ROGUE. He joined the team in January 2020 and has remained with the team for over ten months.
Over that stretch, Zanzarah has helped AGO win Ultraliga Season 4 regular season and claim silver from the playoffs. Most notably, Zanzarah was a member of AGO ROGUE's lineup that won the European Masters 2022 Summer.
Following a successful run in the lower division, Zanzarah got a chance to return to LEC with Astralis for the 2021 season. But unfortunately, success was hard to come by for the Russian LoL pro player.
Years Of Struggles
Astralis made its LEC debut in 2021, but despite the organization's renown as one of the most successful in the esports world, the team did not achieve much.
In the debut LEC split, Astralis placed ninth with a 9-12 record, thus missing the LEC Playoffs. However, having done well enough for a team that just appeared in the league, Astralis decided to run it back with the same lineup for the LEC 2021 Summer.
But unfortunately, that did not earn Astralis the results they were after. Astralis have shown some improvement in the Summer Split, placing seventh-eighth with a 7-11 record, but it again wasn't enough to book a spot in the playoffs.
Ahead of the 2022 season, Astralis made further changes to its roster, adding two new faces. Most notably, Astralis signed ADC Kasper "Kobbe" Kobberup and mid laner Oliver "Dajor" Ryppa.
But even with a new lineup, success was hard to come by. Astralis ended the LEC 2022 Spring in last place with a humiliating 3-11 record. With that, the Danish esports organization came six wins short of a spot in the playoffs.
Having produced the worst season in the team's history, Astralis decided to make some drastic changes ahead of the LEC 2022 Summer.
Big Changes Ahead
The 2022 offseason kicked off with the departure of top laner Matti "WhiteKnight" Sormunen and support Hampus Mikael "promisq" Abrahamsson, who left the team on March 10. Just two weeks later, Astralis also parted ways with coach Mikkel "Donby" Donby.
And now, a month later, Astralis also announced the departure of jungler Zanzarah, who is the fourth member to leave Astralis ahead of the LEC 2022 Summer.
With that, Astralis have kept only two players in mid laner Dajor and ADC Kobbe, suggesting the team is set to go through a major overhaul ahead of the next split. Most notably, with a new top laner, jungler, support player, and a coach.
Still, since the LEC 2022 Summer won't start until June, Astralis have plenty of time to find replacements. Who that might be, remains to be seen, but we can be sure that the Astralis LoL team will look much different comes the summer split. | commoncrawl | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

Palestinian Youth Killed in West Bank Clashes
A Palestinian protester uses a sling to hurl stones toward Israeli troops near the Jewish settlement of Bet El, near the occupied West Bank city of Ramallah, Oct. 5, 2015.
RAMALLAH, WEST BANK —
Palestinian medical officials say a Palestinian youth was killed as clashes continue with Israeli soldiers in the West Bank, spreading fears of a further escalation in the violence.
A doctor at the territory's Tulkarem hospital said the 18-year-old was killed early Monday. Israel's military said hundreds of Palestinians threw firebombs, rolled burning tires and threw rocks at soldiers, who eventually opened fire.
The Red Crescent reported 456 Palestinians were hurt in two days of clashes.
On Saturday, a Palestinian stabbed two Israeli men to death and wounded a woman and her toddler in a brutal knife attack in Jerusalem's Old City, close to a holy site that has been the focus of recent tensions.
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas phoned U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon to brief him on the unrest.

"Hydrophilanthropy gone wrong—How well-meaning scientists, engineers, and the general public can make the worldwide water and sanitation situation worse", Geoscience for the Public Good and Global Development: Toward a Sustainable Future, Gregory R. Wessel, Jeffrey K. Greenberg
Efforts to improve water quality and quantity, and sanitation in the world are impeded by a variety of technical and socioeconomic issues often unfamiliar to well-motivated individuals. Sustainable technological improvement can be thwarted by the lack of consideration of regional norms, customs, mores, and traditions, and by the absence of feasibility assessment and coordination with the community both before and during instatement of local improvements. Specifically, the absence of coordination means not fully allowing users to define their needs, resources, issues, and maintainable solutions, and not understanding local and regional power dynamics and the ability of the community to provide long-term project stewardship. Other mistakes can include: a lack of long-term planning; inadequate scientific and engineering design and construction; lack of anticipation of contingencies and complicating issues and lack of adaptive management to deal with these unforeseen events; use of inappropriate technology; absence of educational efforts (both for the community to understand and provide stewardship for the project, and for the education of those installing the facilities in the community); lack of follow-up; and lack of technical expertise and leadership. There is no single approach to water and sanitation development that fits all situations. However, avoiding common pitfalls can bring these important resources to villages worldwide, and in the process empower communities, reduce sickness and mortality, and improve the human condition.

and the correct answer is $\frac{16}{3}$

and I got the answer 8.
Would you let me know what went wrong?
A: Variety of $x$ depends on both $r$ and $\theta$, so with $x=2y=2r\sin\theta$ we should have
$$\int_{0}^{\pi/2}\int_{0}^{2}\int_{0}^{2r\sin\theta}r \ dx \ dr \ d\theta=\frac{16}{3}$$

This week's Star Trek: Discovery episode, "Vaulting Ambition", was like a well-designed roller coaster: even though you can see what's coming, it is still a wild ride that manages to surprise you and leaves you alternately laughing, gasping, and screaming.
There were quite a few revelations and resolutions in the episode, but let's just hit the highlights.
Phil's Moving Castle
"Vaulting Ambition" — Episode 112 – Pictured: Michelle Yeoh as Philippa Georgiou. Photo Cr: Ben Mark Holzberg/CBS © 2017 CBS Interactive. All Rights Reserved.
Philippa Georgiou lives… MU Georgiou, that is. She is the Empress of the Terran Empire and she seems to live on her vessel, a gigantic flying palace/warship which is every bit as splendid and badass as you would imagine it to be. Michelle Yeoh is great as a ruthless ruler who slays. That is, she slays her enemies and anyone else who gets in her way.
As in our 'verse, Georgiou and Michael are close. Georgiou is Michael's adopted mother. So, our Michael's idea to pretend she captured Lorca to bring him to Georgiou seems like a good idea. Georgiou appears to be pleased, until, while eating dinner, the Empress reveals to Michael that she knows Michael and Lorca became lovers and plotted together to take the throne. As punishment, she's going to kill Michael herself.
Michael saves herself from a beheading by confessing her true origins and identity and offering her Georgiou's Federation com badge as proof. Confirming its authenticity with a scan, Georgiou makes sure that secret never leaves the room by killing all but one of the guards, who are unfortunate to have pulled throne room duty that night via The Flying Fidget Spinner of Death (I'm not kidding. The episode's writer said on the show "After Trek" that the weapon was inspired by the cursed things.). Despite her deadly ways, Georgiou is the key to the Discovery's return to our universe. She's willing to trade Michael and the Discovery's freedom for spore drive technology and Michael agrees.
Paul is NOT Dead!

Though deep within his coma, Paul is actually alive and well in the mycelial network. And so, apparently, is MU Paul, who has been hoping our Paul would make it in to help free him from the mycelial network where they are both trapped. MU Paul has been there longer and knows about the existence of our universe. He has been trying to send Paul messages every time Paul connected to the spore drive. That's why Paul saw flashes of other the other universe whenever Discovery used the spore drive. But just as they start to team up to find the answer, Paul's true partner, Hugh, appears.
He Only Has Eyes for Hugh
Hugh is dead…sort of. He seems to be a part of the mycelial network, but so is everyone and everything, he explains to Paul. Kind of like Obi-Wan and Yoda…wherever they are. Anyway, Hugh tells Paul that the mycelial network is dying and that MU Paul is the one who corrupted it. He warns Paul that everything will die unless he wakes up and finds a cure. Then our Prince Charming awakens his Sleeping Beauty, how else? With a kiss. And it works, but it also works for the MU Paul, and that can't be good.
The Captain and L'Rell
After seeing Tyler/Voq writhing in anguish in sickbay, acting Captain Saru visits L'Rell in her cell, tells her that they are no longer in the universe she knows and that here, the war is over, concluding, "You lost". I sometimes forget how cold-blooded Saru can be.
Still, he does want to help Tyler/Voq and tries to convince L'Rell to help ease "their" suffering by appealing to her apparent affection for "them". She coolly refuses, saying that Voq knew what he was getting into. "That is what it means to be a soldier. That is war", she sneers. But Saru isn't fooled and on his next visit he has Tyler/Voq beamed into her cell where she sees up-close the self-inflicted wounds and undeniable torment. Saru lets her have it, declaring, "You have sealed the creature's hellish fate. Human and Klingon in one body. That is war."
It's a calculated risk that pays off big. L'Rell breaks and agrees to release Voq from his Klingon/human hybrid shell by extracting Voq's personality/mind graft from the body that was constructed from Tyler's DNA. After donning gloves that appear to have belonged to Edward Scissorhands, she performs some kind of mind link, and when Voq is no more, she does a hell of a Klingon death ritual wail. It actually left me with goosebumps. We assume the Tyler half is left intact, but I guess we won't know that for sure until next week.
Saru and L'Rell are the most intriguing characters of the series, so far. Saru as acting captain of the Discovery is really working for me. The writers are playing up his command-related character traits and he's less nervous now than in earlier episodes. As for L'Rell, there's something noble about her. Of the Klingons in this show, she appears to be the most honorable and her motives seem pure, but of course, it could be a façade. I hope we don't see her end anytime soon because she remains a mystery in many ways. Who IS she in the Klingon empire? Who is she in love with, Voq or Tyler? Or both? Or neither? Is there a L'Rell in the MU? We need answers, ST: D writers!!
Michael and Lorca

The biggest revelation was saved for the end of the episode. Any Trek fan watching the show has had issues with Lorca from the moment he was introduced. There seemed to be no way this guy should be a captain in Starfleet. The producers have tried to explain it away as PTSD and the desire to avenge his crew. But Trek fans didn't buy it and early on we've said that he that he was actually the Mirror Universe Lorca, which was practically confirmed when the Discovery "accidentally" ended up in the MU (because of?) Lorca. Turns out, we were right as Lorca proves while escaping one of his captors and Michael comes to the same realization as she learns more about Lorca from Georgiou, including the fact that MU people's eyes are sensitive to light.

I've also wondered in my recaps whether there was a romantic bent to Lorca's weird obsession with Michael and the answer is yes. BUT it looks like the connection between MU Michael and Lorca was kind of icky and has a decidedly Woody Allen/Soon-Yi taint to it. As Georgiou explained it to Michael, Lorca was Georgiou's trusted right-hand man, and she trusted him with everything, including her young daughter. But he used young Michael's need for a father-figure to groom and eventually ??? her once she grew up. Ugh. No wonder Georgiou wants him to suffer. There goes any Mike/Gabe pairing fanfic I might have contemplated writing about those two.

We Have Questions
Now that we've had a lot of suspicions confirmed, we have new burning questions, including:
1) No matter how you slice it, Hugh and Voq are dead. But there is an MU version of Voq, unless he didn't make it off the rebel base before Georgiou had it bombed all to hell. Will he and L'Rell ever meet? Is there a MU Hugh as well? Is it possible that Paul will find love with him or will they continue to play house in the place where dead people go?
2) Are the Prime Lorca and the MU Michael alive somewhere? Are they together somewhere? I can see the MU Michael bailing on any plan to betray her mother and turning on her Lorca instead. It doesn't seem like he would kill her, or even that he could. She would be too valuable an asset, as would our Lorca, to waste. If she's as clever as our Michael, she would have figured out a way to escape and survive. Maybe she escaped into our universe during the war and is simply hiding out? I hope so because frankly, I want to see she looks like. Looks like MU ladies are partial to flat-ironing their hair and I think she could totally rock that look.
3) There was a new doctor on board the Discovery! And she's Black! Woot! Is she going to be the actual Chief Medical Officer? I hope so! There are more and more people of color popping up in both universes and I am totally on board with that.
4) Now that MU Paul is awake, what bad things will he be up to? Is he an ally or an enemy to Lorca? Was he actually trapped in the network or was he just trying to get our Paul out and using a projection of Hugh to make it happen?
5) If "Tyler" lives, what's next for him? Is there a future for him and Michael? Or even he and L'Rell? And where is the actual Tyler? L'Rell didn't actually say he was dead.
6) Is Mirror Universe Saru okay? Because the dinner Georgiou and Michael had was Kelpien. Not prepared by Kelpien, not a Kelpien native dish. Nope. It was a Kelpien, one that Michael actually picked out at the Empress's invitation. Of course, in her innocence, she seemed to think she was choosing a servant or something, so she either picked either MU Saru or a guy that looked a lot like him.

Anyway, as gross as this was, it was pretty funny when Michael had to eat a treat offered to her by Georgiou: Kelpien threat ganglia au jus (okay I made up the au jus part), which looked as disgusting as you might imagine. Only Michael's superhuman control of her gag reflex kept her from spewing it all on the table. And I was right there with her, believe me.
So hopefully Saru, who I think was actually on board the Shenzhou acting as Michael's body slave, is still alive there. He did save her life and I have no idea why he'd be on board the Empress Georgiou's ship.
And hey, Discovery writers? Can we back away from the eating of other sentient beings for the rest of the season? I mean, sure, the Klingons did it when they were stranded and starving after the Battle of the Binary Stars, but who could blame them? Just because the Terran Empire is vile doesn't mean all humans have to be completely corrupt, right? Because, yuck.
All in all, this was the strongest episode in a while. The writing was solid and the story was compelling, with great performances all the way around. It felt more like a Trek episode and it is moving us along. It feels like we are headed for one hell of a season finale soon, one I hope leads the crew back to our universe safe and sound and leaves the Mirror Universe far behind. I've had my fill of that place. At least for now.

BkiUf_k5qWTA5iNCkXYA | Poker is a family of card games which is played around the world, in casinos and private homes. Its origins are not clear but the name is believed to come from German pochen and French primero. The ancestors of this game are likely to be Persian sailors and French settlers in New Orleans.
The first known form of poker was played with 20 cards. The earliest versions of the game have since been superseded by more complex forms. The simplest version involves the deal of five cards face down. A player is required to make a bet. The highest hand is the one that wins the pot. Some variations award the pot to the lowest hand, and some do not consider flushes. The most common hand is a pair of aces, but it may also include a straight and five of a kind.
The first round of betting occurs during the initial deal, when the cards are dealt to all players. After the first round of betting, a betting interval is held. The betting interval ends when all players have folded.
The next round of betting occurs when each player has been dealt another set of cards. At this point, each player can discard up to three cards. If a player discards, he is said to have "folded." In some variants, the players may have the option of taking new cards from the top of the deck.
The next round of betting is known as the showdown. The players are now revealed and each player must evaluate their hand and decide whether to call or raise their bet. If a player folds, he has lost the chance to compete for the pot. If a player raises, he must match the bet of the last bettor.
In some versions, a side pot is created. The players must contribute a small amount of money to this pot. They can then either draw cards from the undealt portion of the deck or continue to play with the cards they have. However, if a player draws a card and then discards it, he may no longer be able to compete for the main pot.
In most modern poker games, the ante is used for forced bets. In most cases, the ante is equal to twice the final betting amount. This is often referred to as a blind. When a player draws a card, he must place an ante into the pot. The ante is then matched by the next player.
In some variants, the lowest possible hand is the 6-4-3-2-A. This is the same as the straight, but in other versions the ace is treated as the lowest card. This is also the case in stud poker.
If a player draws a pair of jacks, he is considered to have a minimum hand. He may also be required to contribute before the deal. Some variations have no limit on the number of times a player can bet. | commoncrawl | 4 | 2 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUdyE5qWTBLnE2Dg5Z | Why do kites have different shapes? I wonder whether it is anything related to the history.
What a huge question :-) I guess the simplest answer is... 'because every human being is different' That includes every kite designer of course.
But, for a more satisfying answer, let's have a look at some factors that affect kite shape.
Yes, this is close to your idea about 'history'. Various cultures have discovered, over hundreds of years, shapes that worked as kites. The most successful of these tended to stay much the same, getting passed on through the generations. The Sode Dako, or Kimono kite from Japan is an example.
So, some kite shapes are tied closely with a particular culture of the world.
Parafoils, and other types that look like a big 'C' generate lots of pulling power. So they are used for extreme sports like snowboarding and kite-surfing.
Simple flat kites such as the Diamond. Their purpose is to be quick to construct and reliable in the air for a beginner to fly. Another example that suits this purpose well is the simple 2-stick Sled.
Complex art kites, where the shape (and color usually) comes first. The purpose is purely for the kite to be a thing of visual beauty. Then, the designer has the challenge of tweaking the design so it actually flies properly!
This gets back to my initial point about all kite designers being human, and thus unique! Some people create a kite of a particular shape simply to do 'something different'. It's a challenge to make it fly stable. It's satisying to create something new!
Never has this factor been more evident than now. Just go to a big kite festival and check out the immense variety of kite shapes! So many designers, so many different shapes. Or clever variations inspired by more traditional shapes.
Well Cheryl, I hope that gives you something to think about. It was a simple question, but quite a wide one really.
If anyone wants to comment, perhaps to add another category or 2 to my answer, please go ahead! | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUc4M5qhDACjc-Rc9J | Why do Egyptian demonstrators hate foreign investment?
'There is unemployment. Battling unemployment requires investment. With these demonstrations that we're seeing, the investor will flee, meaning unemployment will spread,' Mubarak, 77, said in the interview with the Kuwaiti Al-Siyassah newspaper, a transcript of which was published by Egypt's semiofficial Middle East News Agency.
The Muslim Brotherhood has led many of the protests, although Mubarak questioned whether Egyptians would accept the ideas of the banned but popular group, which advocates an Islamic government.
`The people here are past the phase of misleading and they understand how things go,' he said.
Yeah, it's the demonstrators who want to impose dictatorship.
Update: A few more tidbits from the Al Siyassa interview -- comments in square brackets are mine.
I have been thinking about reform since the beginning of my current term, that is even before the topic was raised on the local scene. The political parties were talking about an amendment in 2006. I wondered if the political parties would be ready for an amendment.
No one expected, even the Americans, that I was going to announce the amendment during my speech in Menoufiya. It's a decision I made without any pressure, domestic or foreign. I was only motivated by the fact that the moment had come to go ahead with this reform. There were no demonstrations yet [not true, the first Kefaya demo was two and a half months beforehand] and I could have kept silent and waited until the following year, as the opposition was asking [that's what the NDP was asking in its dialogue with the opposition, the opposition only flirted with the idea after it was led to believe it was their only choice], to proceed with reform.
The Kefaya movement does not worry me. It's a movement for sale -- I know very well who is behind it. The same goes for the Muslim Brotherhood, the Nasserists and the others. What interests me is the majority of citizens. With the current rhythm of demonstrations, investors will flee. Unjustified demonstrations aim only at thwarting investment, which will worsen the unemployment problem.
It is forbidden under the law to create religious political parties. A religious party can always act through other political parties. But will citizens accept the beliefs of the Muslim Brotherhood, even if they hide behind another party? People will not be fooled... I am well aware of what's going on. The Americans must believe that I am aware of their contacts with the Brotherhood. The Brotherhood seeks power to keep it forever. Once in power, they would create chaos.
Kefaya has published a statement denying Mubarak's allegations which stresses that it is a national movement based on volunteers and that it does not receive any foreign funding. It also threatened to take Mubarak to court for libel.
In the meantime, the Nasserist organ Al Arabi published an attack on Mubarak for his interview in which editor (and Kefaya leader) Abdel Halim Qandil that what is behind Kefaya is not a foreign conspiracy but rather "the dictatorship of Mubarak's regime, which is at roots of what got Kefaya started. He then goes on to list the achievement of the regime, which he sees as "corruption, waste of public funds, no respect of human rights and a surge in the number of political prisoners."
It's one of Egypt's little wonders that Al Arabi, which has massive debts to the state-owned Al Ahram printing press, has not been shut yet. Watch this space. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 4 | 2 |

BkiUdMrxK7FjYHGHz-lu | Please contact us for the latest information on recycling and end of life information.
Packaging design is at the forefront of our minds.
We are currently looking at using 100% recyclable packaging. It is critical that the product arrives in perfect condition every time, and packaging used is minimised to the point of becoming ineffective.
Our hifi products use 100% cardboard packaging, and we offer the producer the opportunity to use screen printed board that has been misprinted or is waste material. This does not affect the quality of the function of the packaging, but perhaps the appearance from time to time. We hope that you do not mind this.
When we package our products we consider the following.
- Are we installing the product?
- Does the installer have facilities for disposal of the packaging we use?
- Is the item going to be forwarded from our customer to an end user once the store will forward onto the customer once received and checked from us?
- If we are delivering, can the item be lightly protected as we will secure it in the van and provide the necessary protection to it, but will consider its onward journey and discuss this with the customer, or listen to specific requests.
We consider the customers needs as a priority, and the following factors relating to our environmental impact whilst making our delivery decision.
- What is the distance from Futureglass to delivery address?
- Can we group shipments to make most use of transport miles?
- Can we have a salesman drop off to save transport miles?
- What is the size of the item? Is it too big to go via City Link and would require us to deliver instead as it requires careful handling?
- Is the item being installed? How many people are required? | c4 | 4 | 1 | 4 | 2 |

Peggy Spence (Gunn)
"Music Was Her Name"
Marguerite Spence Gunn
Our beloved Peggy, of Austin, Texas, passed away peacefully on January 18, 2015, after a lengthy illness. She was born 2 April, 1943 to Harry Buddig Spence and Florence Glass Davis, the second oldest sibling of five children. She was born in Jackson, Mississippi, and spent her early years in Uniontown, Alabama and Atlanta, Georgia.
She attended Grady High School in Atlanta and was a 1965 graduate of Goucher College in Towson, Maryland. It was in Maryland that, on a blind date, she met her future husband, William T. Gunn III at his June Week graduation ceremonies of the U.S. Naval Academy in 1963.
Peggy and the love of her life, Bill, married upon her graduation from college and she spent her early married years traveling to various Naval ports as a Navy wife. While her husband awaited the repair of his ship in the Philadelphia Shipyard, she had the joy of bringing her first daughter, Christina French into the world. She enjoyed living in such varied places as Philadelphia, San Juan, Puerto Rico and Virginia Beach, Virginia. Whatever port of call, Peggy created a home that was always welcoming, unique and creative. She also worked as a journalist for the Virginia Beach newspaper and taught college classes as well.
After Bill's resignation from the US Navy, they moved to Dallas where Bill pursued his MBA at SMU. It was in Dallas that their second joy, Carey Spence was born. After graduation from SMU, Bill was hired by the Trammell Crow Co. Peggy and Bill moved to Austin in 1970 so Bill could pursue the expanding real estate interests of the Trammell Crow Co. Peggy immediately became involved in so many ways in the Austin community through charitable and other volunteer pursuits, including early interests in the League of Women Voters and the Institute of Texan Cultures in San Antonio.
Peggy pursued her dreams and her passions and inspired others to do the same. She instilled the value of a good education and a love of the arts, especially music, in her children and many others along the way. Peggy loved gardening, cooking, laughter and her family. She and Bill both shared a passion for good literature and there were always conversations about whatever good books they were reading. Peggy was a woman of deep faith and was an active member of St. David's Episcopal Church.
Peggy's great love of music inspired her to become actively involved in the Symphony Square Committee and she joined the Women's Symphony League in Austin, through which she was exceptionally proud of both her daughters' presentation at the annual Jewel Ball benefiting the Austin Symphony. Peggy later served on the Board of Directors for the Austin Symphony for many years. Her love of education inspired her to serve for years on the Board of Trustees for her alma mater, Goucher College. Peggy and Bill were also ardent supporters of St. Stephen's Episcopal School, where the middle school is now named Gunn Hall in recognition of their contributions and support. Her love of the arts and further involvement in the arts community inspired her to become involved in the realization of Austin's creative home, the Long Center, where Bill and Peggy are both acknowledged for their contributions to its construction.
The last 25 years of Peggy's life revolved around her work as the Development Director for the Austin Symphony Orchestra. Whether it was to raise funds for an extraordinary concert series, to provide classical educational programs for over 90,000 Central Texas school children or to sponsor the Annual 4th of July Fireworks and Concert at Auditorium Shores, Peggy will be remembered for her tireless devotion to raising awareness for and helping to fund the mission of the Austin Symphony Orchestra throughout the Austin community.
Peggy is preceded in death by her parents and sister, Mae Mallory Krulak. She is survived by her husband, Bill, her daughter, Ceecy and husband, George E. Robinson III, and their two sons, Bremond and Reed. She is also survived by her daughter, Carey and husband, Eric Venditti and their daughter, Eleanor. She is also survived by her brother, Harry Buddig Spence Jr. and his wife, Martha of Goodland, FL; sister, Christina Spence of Oakland, CA; and sister, Sally and husband, Lee Engler of Raleigh, NC. Peggy was a loving and caring wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, friend and mentor. Her memories will be cherished by her husband, children and grandchildren, her sisters and brother, cousins, nieces and nephews and her many friends. She will be missed so very much.
Peggy's family wishes to thank everyone who gave her companionship, love and joy throughout her life. Special thanks to her doctors, caregivers, dear friends and extended family for the loving care, nourishment, good humor, and encouragement throughout her illness.
Funeral services will be held on Saturday, January 24, 2015 at 2:00 p.m. at St. David's Episcopal Church with a reception immediately following in St. David's Grand Hall.
The family requests that memorial gifts in lieu of flowers be made to: The Austin Symphony Orchestra, 1101 Red River Street, Austin, Texas 78701, www.austinsymphony.org
Chris Reynolds
The main memory that I will always have about Peggy is the fact that she and I always commented on the fact that we were two of the only four Roman Catholics in our Class. The other two were Tony Turner and Gerald Mitchell. She was always a kind and thoughtful person. | commoncrawl | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUa4o5jDKDx3bd1360 | We encourage contributions by early career and established researchers. Authors are expected to write an article comprising a literature review and an annotated bibliography of a key theme in the study of nationalism. The articles are published in two venues: on the website of the State of Nationalism, where they will be linked to the other articles; and as a stand-alone article in the scholarly journal Studies on National Movements. All submissions undergo a rigorous, double-blind review process prior to publication. If you are interested in publishing with us, please contact Dr. Eric Taylor Woods at E.T.Woods@uel.ac.uk or Dr. Robert Schertzer at robert.schertzer@utoronto.ca.
We suggest authors to read this page thoroughly for information relating to the submission and publication of their articles. A list of potential topics to be included in the State of Nationalism can found at the bottom of the page.
Completed articles can be sent to Dr. Eric Taylor Woods and Robert Scherzer.
The purpose of the reviews and bibliographies is to provide a fair account of the literature. As such, the authors should strive for a balanced assessment over trying to steer the reader towards his or her favoured approach or methodology. If authors are unsure about how to structure their submission, they should contact the Project Manager.
It is advised for technical reasons to first enter the bibliographical references and then proceed with linking the citations in the article to them.
All publications included in the bibliography should be annotated. Annotations should include a brief summary of the publication and may also indicate strengths and/or weaknesses and/or why it may be of special academic interest. In cases where an author has published more than one version of a work, the annotation will merely briefly direct the reader to the original annotation. Maximum length of the annotations will be 300 words, with most annotations expected to be much shorter than the maximum.
The articles will review and annotate peer-reviewed scholarly publications, including journal articles, books, book chapters and, in some instances, PhD theses when they are judged to be of particular importance to the literature. The bibliographies will be assembled by tracking references in print publications and electronic databases, including: Google Scholar, Jstor, Social Science Abstracts and International Bibliography of the Social Sciences (IBSS). Contributors will also be encouraged to verify their findings by contacting key authors that emerge from their research.
The focus of this project is on publications written in English. This is borne of practical reasons, given that the contributors cannot be expected to be proficient in all languages and given that English has become the chief operating language for the scientific community. However, this focus on English-language publications is not meant to constrain the remit of the articles; key publications in other languages can and should be included if possible.
The reviews and bibliographies must present a fairly comprehensive portrait of existing research. However, this is not to say that they must include all existing research. Of overarching importance is that publications seminal to a particular theme are discussed and tracked. Seminal studies are publications that are of central importance to a research tradition because they report a major breakthrough, insight, or a new synthesis of ideas. If a contributor to the instrument is unsure about the inclusion of a publication, they may inquire with the Project Manager.
How should key concepts be defined?
The State of Nationalism is focused on nationalism. However, the meaning of nationalism is contested and continuously changing. As a result, it is not possible to operationalise a pre-determined definition of nationalism across the various articles included in the State of Nationalism. To account for this, the contributors are urged to include in their articles an explanation of how nationalism tends to be defined in that area of research, and also to note instances where it is especially contested. In other words, the task for the contributors is to identify and synthesise the definition that arises from the research, rather than impose a pre-determined definition. Contributors should take a similar approach when defining other related concepts, such as empire, ethnicity, nation, national identity, race, religion, state etc.
How will the articles be published?
The articles are published via two open-access sites. In the first instance, the review essays and accompanying bibliographies are published on the main State of Nationalism website. The website will provide a comprehensive database of the articles. Each of the articles are linked to one another, so that the reader can track associations between related themes. It is therefore through the website that readers will be able to view the project in its entirety.
The articles will also be published as stand-alone essays in the scholarly journal Studies on National Movements (SNM). Upon publication in SNM, the articles can be cited as a normal scholarly article. They will also be indexed in various databases in the same way as other articles published in SNM.
Why publish the articles in two venues? In addition to helping ensure maximum visibility, there is also a more prosaic reason. In an environment where researchers are under increasing pressure to publish their findings in well-indexed quality journals, the publication of the articles in SNM will lend academic gravitas to their work.
Finally, there is a possibility for a third venue in the publication of the articles via a series of edited volumes. This will be explored at a later date.
Which reference style should be used?
Please note that there is no need to include a reference list. The annotated bibliography will double as a reference list.
How do we ensure the articles are kept up-to-date?

Will City Regulators Treat Driverless Cars Like They've Treated Uber?
Rachel Dovey October 28, 2015

With several exceptions, the latest-generation ride service companies and city regulators get along about as well as Siamese fighting fish. Now, as more manufacturers begin investing in autonomous vehicle technology, it's worth looking at how those regulators will respond to the mode that writers from The Guardian to Buzzfeed have dubbed, simply, "the future."

Granted, questions of city-level regulation are mostly speculative at this point — state and federal rules barely exist. But a few forward-looking academics and urban researchers are starting to look at the ways that self-driving vehicles could challenge, break and shape existing municipal policy.
While the safety concerns that have prompted some U.S. cities to demand background checks for Uber drivers are irrelevant in a driverless vehicle, plenty of people have raised the hacking alarm. Despite data suggesting driverless cars will be safer than vehicles driven by error-prone humans, the cylon-fear buried deep in our collective psyche has glommed onto the new technology. Take the scene in HBO's "Silicon Valley" where one character gets trapped in an autonomous vehicle and winds up in a shipping crate to the private island of a billionaire VC. Add the threat of an actual hack, not just glitchy programming (or the possibility that the machines will finally turn on us), and it's clear that we'll be demanding some good, old-fashioned government law-making.
Beyond safety, driverless cars could reshape municipal policy in several ways. One, according to Kevin Desouza, a professor with the School of Public Affairs at Arizona State University, has to do with pooled ownership.
"Every indication is that automated vehicles are not going to be owned by individuals, they're going to be owned by groups or communities," he says. "So when you think about the ways these vehicles are going to be used, no one driver [will be] held accountable because the machine drives on its own."
That could chip away at municipal revenue streams, Desouza says, because many cities collect a yearly registration fee for each vehicle. But according to Randy Rowe, global chairman of the Urban Land Institute, it could also cause city leaders to rethink zoning mandates.
"We require a lot of parking," he says. "If in fact we are going to have autonomous vehicles and a shared economy for them … a lot could change about our parking space needs."
Zoning requirements for parking could be lessened, Rowe says, a move that would free up space for uses like housing and storage. Developer impact fees — the funds that many cities require developers to pay toward infrastructure — could also be affected.
"Many cities require a lot of parking impact fees," he says.
Again, any predictions about how driverless cars will break or shape existing regulations are just that: predictions.
"A lot of major metropolitan areas are beginning to experiment with driverless cars, so we are in the very early stages," Desouza says. "Until those experiments are complete and cities have learned from the process, trying to regulate things like parking and violations will not happen."
Still, it seems safe to assume that driverless cars will pose both challenges and opportunities to cities in the areas of safety, funding and zoning. Whether — and how — municipal policy will adapt to meet those changes remains to be seen.

Together We Can Share Lessons Learned
The disjointed federal response to the pandemic has left cities on their own to combat the spread of the virus and recover from economic calamity. Next City is a nonprofit news organization specially designed to answer this challenge. The knowledge-sharing that we facilitate between cities is vital. Because no city will have a monopoly on good ideas, will you support Next City?
Yes! I want to donate.

BkiUcE7xK7Tt52mM8C-K | AVEN, HYERS GO A LONG WAY TO MAKE NAME
DAVID O'BRIEN Staff WriterSUN-SENTINEL
Three home runs and eight RBI in a game would have been a great combined performance from Moises Alou and Gary Sheffield in 1997.
So how would one describe such a hitting line by Tim Hyers and Bruce Aven?
It went from the sublime to the nearly ridiculous Sunday at Tropicana Field, where Hyers hit the first two homers of his big-league career and Aven hit the second grand slam of what is becoming a remarkable rookie season.
Those two carried the Marlins to an 11-6 victory against Tampa Bay, which gave the team its first three-game sweep since 1997 and first five-game winning streak since that World Series season.
"Wow. What an incredible day," said Hyers, who had no home runs in 178 at-bats in parts of four major league seasons before hitting two in consecutive at-bats Sunday.
His solo shot off Bobby Witt in the sixth inning gave the Marlins a 4-3 lead that didn't last long, and his two-run homer off Esteban Yan in the eighth erased a 5-4 deficit and ignited a seven-run inning that decided the issue.
That inning, punctuated by Aven's grand slam off Julio Santana, carried the Marlins to their first sweep since they took three from Baltimore on Sept. 1-3 in 1997. They had gone 63 series of three games or more without a sweep.
"It's over with. You can use my quotes from [Saturday]," said Tampa Bay manager Larry Rothschild, whose Devil Rays were outscored 30-13 in the series and gave up eight- and seven-run innings in consecutive days. "We made some guys' careers this weekend. It was as bad a weekend as you can play at home."
The Marlins, winners of 15 of their past 29 games, raised their all-time interleague record to 23-11, the best in baseball. They are 5-1 in two seasons against the reeling Devil Rays, who have lost 12 of 14 games.
The exclamation mark in the seventh inning was provided by Aven, who turned on the first pitch Santana threw him and drove the fastball to the left-field seats for his second grand slam. Aven had struck out looking on a 1-2 Witt fastball with the bases loaded in the seventh.
"That son of a [gun] comes up more with the bases loaded than anybody I know of, and he capitalizes," interim manager Fredi Gonzalez said. "What is it they call that, an opportunist? Yeah, he's an opportunist."
With the bases loaded, Aven is 3 for 4 with two slams and 11 RBI. He is tied for the team lead with 27 RBI in just 82 at-bats. "Gator" is batting .345 overall and .405 with four homers in 42 at-bats after the sixth inning.
"He's done as much as you could possibly ask him to do," said second baseman Craig Counsell, who had three hits in a rare start but was completely (and happily) overshadowed by Hyers and Aven.
Like Counsell in 1997, Hyers and Aven are unsung players Marlins scouts thought enough of to recommend to General Manager Dave Dombrowski. Hyers signed as a free agent in May; Aven was claimed off waivers in October.
"They were the keys today," said right fielder Mark Kotsay, who made a sprinting catch to rob Dave Martinez of extra bases in the first inning. Like Counsell, Kotsay was more than willing to be a footnote Sunday.
Hyers and Aven are humble and universally popular in the clubhouse. Hyers, 27, knows he could be sent back to Triple-A Calgary any time. His wife and 20-month old daughter are still in Calgary, so tenuous is his situation.
"I'm day-to-day, just like I was in the spring," said Hyers, a non-roster invitee who earned a spot on the Opening Day roster by hitting .424 in spring training. "I just go out there and play the game and have fun."
He has been staying at the Pembroke Pines apartment of Kevin Millar, who dubbed Hyers "Hobbs" when Hyers came to Triple-A Charlotte and got seven hits in his first two games. The reference is to title character Roy Hobbs played by Robert Redford in the fictional baseball movie The Natural.
"It couldn't have happened to a nicer guy," Millar said after Hyers made his fifth start. "It gave me chills, man. When he hit that second home run, it gave me chills."
Hyers gave them chills and Aven, with his shaved head and fire-hydrant body, gave them thrills. He had 11 RBI in three games, setting a career-high with five in Friday and matching it Sunday.

3 Rangers make MLB.com's Top 100 Prospects list, including a potential ace pitcher of the future
Rangers pitching prospect Hans Crouse, pictured here earlier in the 2018 season with Single A Spokane, just completed his second year of professional baseball. He is one of the top Texas Rangers prospects. (James Snook/Spokane Indians(James Snook-Took By Snook)
By SportsDay Staff
4:00 PM on Jan 27, 2019 CST
Although the Rangers have been stockpiling assets over the last year through trades, they had three players listed in MLB.com's Top 100 Prospects list recently. Here are the Rangers who cracked the list:
No. 85: Hans Crouse, RHP
Crouse just finished his second season in the Rangers minor-league system and impressed with a 5-3 record and a 2.47 ERA in 54.2 innings pitched playing for Spokane in the Northwest League and Hickory with the South Atlantic League.
The Rangers selected Crouse with the 66th pick in the second round of the 2017 MLB draft. SportsDay Rangers Insider Gerry Fraley ranked Crouse as the No. 3 prospect in the Rangers organization prior to the 2018 season.
"Crouse features a high-90s fastball and a sharp slider. He showed signs of an effective changeup in his first pro season. Crouse has an unusual delivery that includes a violent cross-body finish. Crouse dominated the rookie-level Arizona League in his first professional season," Fraley writes. "In 20 innings, Crouse allowed only seven hits and had 30 strikeouts. Right-handed hitters were 4 for 41 with 18 strikeouts against him. The Rangers limited Crouse to two innings or fewer in all but one of his appearances. He concluded the Arizona season with a three-inning appearance."
Here is MLB.com's scouting report on Crouse:
Scouting grades: Fastball: 70 | Slider: 60 | Changeup: 45 | Control: 50 | Overall: 55
Crouse has a lot going on in his violent delivery, which finishes with some disconcerting head whack, yet he repeats it and keeps it in sync enough to find the strike zone on a regular basis. He's more animated than most pitchers, and he'll throw in a Johnny Cueto shimmy or groom the mound like Mark Fidrych at times. Though some scouts wonder if he can hold up as a starter, the Rangers are determined to develop him as one and believe he can become their ace of the future."
No. 88 Julio Pablo Martinez, OF

Julio Pablo Martinez batted .252, had 34 walks, 21 RBIs and eight home runs with Spokane last season. Fraley said in a chat recently that Martinez is a better center field prospect than Leody Taveras:
"Right now, it is Martinez because of age and experience. He is 24, five years older than Taveras, and played in Cuba's high-powered Nacional Series. Martinez will get to the majors first, but that it not to downgrade Taveras."
The Rangers added Martinez prior to last season, agreeing to a deal, which includes a $2.8 million signing bonus.
Martinez told Fraley he set a goal of getting to the major leagues within three years.
"I know a lot of that depends on the results and the needs of the big league team," said Martinez, speaking through an interpreter.
Here is MLB.com's scouting report on Martinez:
Scouting grades: Hit: 55 | Power: 45 | Run: 60 | Arm: 50 | Field: 55 | Overall: 55
"With his plate discipline and plus speed, Martinez could fit at the top of a big league batting order. He has a good feel for putting the barrel on the ball, though his left-handed swing can get too long when he tries to hit home runs. While he's not a big guy, he generates solid raw power with his quick bat and deceptive strength in his hands and wrists.
"Martinez has the speed to be an asset as a basestealer and a center fielder, but he's still learning how to make the most of it. He needs to improve his jumps on the bases and in the outfield. He's capable of playing all three outfield spots, though his fringy-to-average arm would be a bit stretched in right."
No. 89 Cole Winn, RHP

Cole Winn was taken in the first round of the 2018 MLB draft by the Rangers and has yet to play a game in their minor-league system.
"I thought there was no chance going into the day that we would get [Winn]," scouting director Kip Fagg said to SportsDay Rangers Insider Evan Grant. "There has been a push for offensive players in the top of the first-round industry-wide the last couple of years. We had [Winn] as the highest pitcher on our board behind [No. 1 overall pick Casey Mize]. Sometimes the genre that falls is high school right-handers. We were not going to be deterred by that."
Here is MLB.com's scouting report on Winn:
Scouting grades: Fastball: 60 | Curveball: 60 | Slider: 55 | Changeup: 50 | Control: 55 | Overall: 55
"Winn's athleticism allows him to repeat his clean delivery and maintain his quality stuff deep into games. He's extremely advanced and has better control and command than most pitchers his age. Though he didn't throw a pitch in a pro game in 2018, he could still be the first high school arm from his Draft to make it to the Majors."

BkiUdWk5qX_AY1ZPJZrD | 'When They See Us' trailer lets us see Jharrel Jerome, Vera Farmiga and, yes, Felicity Huffman in true-crime drama [WATCH]
On April 19 Netflix premiered the first full trailer for Ava DuVernay's true-crime limited series "When They See Us." The ensemble drama tells the true story of the Central Park Five, the black and Hispanic teenagers who were wrongly convicted of the 1989 rape of a white woman in New York City. The two-and-a-half-minute clip showcases actors including Michael K. Williams, Jharrel Jerome, John Leguizamo and, yes, Felicity Huffman. Watch it above.
Huffman has been caught up in her own true-crime saga, having pleaded guilty in the recent college admissions scandal. She's on the other end of the law in "When They See Us," playing Manhattan prosecutor Linda Fairstein. Vera Farmiga portrays another prosecutor, Elizabeth Lederer, while Joshua Jackson is featured as defense attorney Mickey Joseph. And that's just the tip of the iceberg in the deep cast for this four-part series.
"When They See Us" premieres on May 31, just in time to compete for this year's Emmys. DuVernay is already a two-time Emmy champ for producing and writing the documentary "13th," for which she was also nominated for directing. She could be nominated for producing, writing and directing again for this project, and if she wins Best Movie/Mini Directing, she would actually be the first black woman ever to win a Primetime Emmy for directing.
Dramas about the legal system have been popular with Emmy voters in recent years. "The People v. O.J. Simpson" and "The Assassination of Gianni Versace" both won Best Limited Series under FX's "American Crime Story" banner. ABC's "American Crime" and HBO's "The Night Of" have also won multiple Emmys in recent years. Will we see "When They See Us" among the top contenders when this year's nominees and winners are announced later this year?

BkiUbdLxK0iCl2n199wB | The Innovative Partnership for Action Against Cancer (iPAAC) is funded by the European Union's Third Health Programme and aims to develop innovative approaches tackling unaddressed issues in cancer control. Targeting both EU-level policymakers and decision makers at national, regional and local level, the iPAAC focuses on implementation of the outcomes of the European Partnership for Action Against Cancer (EPAAC) and Cancer Control (CANCON) Joint Actions. This Joint Action will run from April 2018 until April 2021.
The iPAAC will support Member States by delivering a Roadmap on Implementation and Sustainability of Cancer Control Actions as its central comprehensive deliverable. This roadmap focuses on issues relevant to policymakers as represented by CANCON and iPAAC recommendations.
Another objective is the development of cancer prevention through a review of current and assessment of potential cancer screening programmes, evaluation and assessment of the possible effect of genomics on cancer control, and the assessment of the implementation European Code Against Cancer.
Additionally, the iPAAC aims to provide better efficacy for dealing with neglected cancers, support the introduction of immunotherapies into clinical practice, evaluate cancer care in European countries and improve the responsiveness to the needs of cancer patients.
The European Cancer Patient Coalition (ECPC) will contribute to 3 Work Packages (WPs). For WP2 'Dissemination', ECPC will prepare and organise 2 conference meetings to address representatives for all relevant cancer patient organisations and actively support networking and mapping of contacts with patient organisations.
For WP7 'Cancer Information and Registries', ECPC will contribute to guidelines, which will be delivered after piloting a comprehensive ICT model. Additionally, ECPC will advise on the selection of epidemiological indicators on cancer prevalence and survivorship and disseminate the result.
Lastly, in WP8 'Challenges in Cancer Care' ECPC will participate in a consensus meeting to define the definition of neglected cancers using the case for pancreatic cancer and cooperate to carry out an expert workshop.
The Joint Action is funded by the EU Third Health Programme 2014-2020. | c4 | 5 | 4 | 5 | 2 |

This story has been updated in light of the San Bernardino shootings.

The nation was once again gripped by gun violence on Friday after a gunman identified by authorities as Robert Lewis Dear Jr. stormed a Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado Springs, killing two civilians and one police officer and injuring nine others.
It is just the latest in a year of more-than-daily mass shootings in America. In fact, there had already been one mass shooting on Friday — in the early morning hours, two people were killed and two injured in a shooting at a restaurant in Sacramento. Another mass shooting incident in Boston in the early hours of Thanksgiving Day took the life of a Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority rail conductor.
There have been at least 351 mass shootings so far this year, according to news reports collected by a reddit community that tracks these incidents. The reddit tracker defines mass shootings as incidents in which four or more people, including the gunman, are killed or injured by gunfire. The Mass Shooting Tracker is different from other shooting databases in that it uses a broader definition of mass shooting — the old FBI definition focused on four or more people killed as part of a single shooting.
There were at least 12 mass shootings in the U.S. last week so far, counting the Colorado Springs shooting. That shooting would also be the second mass shooting in Colorado Springs this month.
The number of mass shootings so far this year has already surpassed the total number of mass shootings in 2014, according to the tracker. And the pace is well above 2013's pace, when a total of 363 mass shootings occurred. | commoncrawl | 5 | 1 | 4 | 1 |
