BkiUdKfxK0iCl4WD4KTv | You should probably be aware that Richard Haynes on clarinet is neither the clarinet that my grandfather loved in big bands, nor is it the exquisitely untalented clarinet I played in high school. Haynes is a superbly skilled musician and certainly takes clarinet beyond the less-than-cool aura I imbued it with in year 7. The performance includes 4 pieces for solo clarinet (described as fetishes): Breath Control (David Young, 2008), interference (Richard Barrett, 1998 – 2000), the sadness of details (Chris Dench, 2002 – 2003) and Press Release (David Lang, 1991).
We enter the Loft at Chapel Off Chapel, to a space with no seats, only (very comfortable) cushions, and no clear stage area. Haynes opens the night in a school uniform costume for Breath Control. The piece orbits around a single note, distorted and transformed through performative skill (and extended ad infinitum through the wonder of circular breathing). Haynes uses keys and a 64 gallon drum to filter and texture the sound. In interference, Haynes appears as a silhouette on corrugated plastic, naked and bearing a headdress, and singing in a piercing falsettos, stomping on a kick drum and grumbling texturally with a contrabass clarinet. interference feels like a piece played backwards, heavy contrabass clarinet punctuated with Haynes' strangely incanted notes. In Chris Dench's the sadness of details, Haynes appears to the audience on a table, clothed in plastic wrap, and adroitly winnows through the piece, showcasing the beautiful tonal extremes of the clarinet – plaintive and piercing upper registers, and wooded and mellow lower registers. The final item, Press Release, has Haynes sitting on a ladder – in workman attire – and puffing hard through a highly percussive and staccato bass clarinet solo.
Fetish is probably a very accurate word to describes the pieces, in relation to the performer and the audience, as the pieces were sometimes very arcane and difficult to access for audience that aren't highly musically literate or lovers of clarinet. It feels truly like fetishism – exploring the allure of these pieces, regardless of how much others may love or hate them. Breath Control as an opening piece is the perfect example of this – the subtlety of clarinet transforming and orbiting around a single note is not easily appreciated. interference runs along similar lines, particularly with the not often heard contrabass clarinet, and ear-splitting kick drum. Although Hayne's skill is clear from the outset, for a non-clarinet performer, it's not until the free-form but melodic the sadness of detail, that Hayne's adroit playing really connects. Hayne's complex pieces are augmented by Margaret Cameron's strong dramaturgical influence. Far from being a simple performance of musical pieces, with audience sitting neatly in rows facing a musician sitting neatly on stage, the space is used fully, and audience are collected in a central gaggle. Between pieces, Hayne's voice describes what 'it's like…' evoking a broad series of experientiality. I enjoyed the performance, however was acutely aware of having worked to mentally keep pace with the music. Fans of edgy contemporary music, with a good splash of abstract performative elements, will appreciate both Haynes' bold choices and his exceptional skill with clarinets.

BkiUcAbxK03BfL1dUUqm | In 10 years the number of Londoners cycling to work has doubled.
"Nationwide the number of commuters getting to work by bike has grown by nearly 100,000, increasing by 14 per cent to 741,000." According to an article in The Evening Standard by Sebastian Mann's London is ahead of the rest of the country because cycling in the capital is such a "no brainer".
One of the key reasons there are more cyclists on the road is down to Bike Sharing schemes.
BIKEPLUS conducted an extensive survey that encompassed 800 bike share scheme users in England, Wales and Scotland, and compared the data with over 3,000 London users.
These findings are great for the cycling community and show a lot of promise for the future, across the UK. The reasons for this are that the convenience and availability of share schemes is giving people a chance to experience the benefits of using a bike as an alternate means of transportation.
One of the main benefits being health and wellness, over half the sample group reported that riding helped them feel happier and healthier. This has great potential to attract life long cyclists, 9% of the group actually purchased a bike of their own as a direct result of bike share schemes. And a whopping 37% of existing cyclists have increased the time they spend on a bike as opposed to alternate transportation courtesy of the schemes.
The results of the study are proof that people just need an opportunity to experience for themselves how the convenience coupled with the health benefits make cycling an outstanding travel option for people who can accommodate it.
At Volt we are big proponents of experiencing the benefits of cycling for yourself, so we offer test rides on all our ebikes at our London showroom and across the UK at our multiple certified Volt retailers. As cycling is increasingly becoming more popular, the time is now to take your first step towards a happier and healthier commute.

BkiUbEU5qsNCPV6Yi_ud | A group of huntsmen were camping on the Ohio river. The foliage swayed in the night wind, and the argent light of the moon ran in fleeting bars through the dim recesses of the forest. From the ground arose a ruddier glare. High and dry, fires had been built and the flames were darting and curveting among the trees. In the weird light the hunters were clustered about in squads, silently stripping their prey or preparing their weapons for the morrow's chase. In the background were the women, moving here and there in the dancing shadows. One was bending low over a newborn infant, and as she uttered his name in the stillness of the evening it blended with the music of the tree-tops.
The name was taken from the great book of nature. It was a birth-name of the Mohawks meaning two sticks of wood bound together, a sign of strength; and the woman hoped that her tiny child might one day be a man of valor among the Mohawks. Could she have but known it, her desire was to be more than realized, for in vigor of mind and body he was destined to surpass all the offspring of his race.
So it was, in the pear 1742, in the reign of King George the Second, that Thayendanegea was born among the Mohawks on the banks of the Ohio. To the untaught savage this sluggish stream was a thing of life, and he called it the 'River Beautiful.' The Ohio valley was at this time the favorite hunting-ground of the Indian peoples. Because this valley was rich in game and comfortable to dwell in, it had been a scene of bitter strife. The problem of rule on the Ohio was of long standing. For a whole century Delaware and Shawnee and Wyandot and Six Nations contended for the territory; tribe was pitted against tribe, and then at last the answer was given. The Iroquois confederacy, or Six Nations,2 whose villages lay by the Hudson river, united, determined, and vengeful, had gained the ascendancy; from the banks of the Hudson to the seats of the stranger beside lake Erie the lands belonged to them; and other tribes to the east and west and north and south paid them tribute. The Mohawks were the mightiest of the Six Nations; in the confederacy they were chief in council; from their ranks was chosen the head war chief, who commanded on the field of battle; they took the first-fruits of the chase, and were leaders in everything.
Some time was to pass, however, before Thayendanegea could understand that he was sprung from a race of conquerors. As yet he was but a simple Indian babe, with staring brown eyes and raven-black hair. Of the mother who cared for him history has practically nothing to say. She may have been a Mohawk, but this is by no means certain. It has even been hinted that she came from the Western Indians, and was a damsel of the Shawnee race who had left the wigwams of her people. At all events we may be sure that she had the natural instincts and impulses of a forest mother; that she knew where the linden grew high and where the brown-red sycamores clustered thick by the margin of the stream. It may be supposed that when the sun mounted high she would tie the picturesque, richly ornamented baby-frame containing her boy to some drooping branch to swing from its leathern thong in the cooling breeze. We may imagine her tuneful voice singing the mother's Wa Wa song, the soft lullaby of the sylvan glades. Thayendanegea's eyes blink and tremble; he forgets the floating canopy above him and sleeps in his forest cradle.
When Thayendanegea grew stronger he began to romp with the other boys of the village. With them he followed the women down to the river's brink, picking up shiny pebbles from the sand, or watching the minnows dart about in the sunlight. With them, when the days were long, he crawled through the brambles, looking for luscious berries, or ran with the wiry Indian dogs into copse and brushwood. Then he learned to swim, to fish, and to dip his paddle noiselessly in the stream. Like every red child, Thayendanegea listened rapt in wonder to the tales that were told him. The Mohawks had a storehouse of fable, and he soon became versed in the lore of the forest. Perhaps, too, he sat beside his wrinkled grandfather, who was a sachem,3 or petty king, of the Six Nations, and heard the old man tell the romantic story of his trip to England in the pear 1710, when Anne was sovereign queen; heard how five sachems at this time had gone on an embassy for their people and were right royally entertained in the city of London; how, as they passed through the streets, the little children flocked behind, marveling at their odd appearance; how at the palace they appeared in garments of black and scarlet and gold and were gladly received by the queen, whom they promised to defend against her foes; and how, after seeing the soldiers march, and after riding in the queen's barge and enjoying various amusements, they returned to their own country.
There is some obscurity surrounding the identity of Thayendanegea's father, but it is generally agreed that he was a full-blooded Mohawk and a chief of the Wolf clan.4 By some writers it is said that he bore the English name of Nickus Brant. Others say that Thayendanegea's father died while the son was still an infant and that the mother then married an Indian known to the English as Brant. By and by, as Thayendanegea mingled with the English, he acquired the name of Joseph, and so came down through history as Joseph Brant; but whether he acquired this name from his father or from his step-father we cannot tell, and it does not really matter. We shall know him hereafter by his English name.
In the traditions of the Mohawk valley it is told how one day a regimental muster was being held, in Tryon county, in the colony of New York, at which William Johnson was present. Among the throng of those who were out to see the sights was Molly Brant, Joseph's elder sister, a lively, winsome girl of sixteen years. During the maneuvers a field-officer rode by, mounted on a spirited steed. As he passed, Molly asked if she might get up behind. The officer, thinking it a bit of banter, said she might. In an instant she had sprung upon the crupper. Away went the steed, flying about the field. Molly clung tight to the officer, her blanket flapping in the breeze and her dark hair floating wide. Every one burst into merriment, and no one enjoyed the spectacle more than Colonel William Johnson himself. A flame of love for Molly was kindled in his heart, and, being a widower, he took her home and made her his bride after the Indian fashion. It would seem quite natural, then, that the superintendent should be interested in the career of Molly's brother Joseph. Born, as the young redskin was, of princely stock, he might, with such an advantage, be expected to attain to honor and dignity among the people of the Long House. There was, however, one obstacle; although Joseph's father was a chief, he did not inherit rank, for it was the custom of the Six Nations to trace descent through the blood of the mother, and his mother, who had brought him over hill and water from the banks of the Ohio, was of humble origin. If Joseph wished, therefore, to rise among his fellows, he must hew out his own path to greatness. By pluck and wisdom alone could he win a lasting place in the hearts of his people. As we tell his story, we shall see how he gathered strength and became a man of might and of valor.
2 Mohawk, Cayuga, Seneca, Oneida, Onondaga, and Tuscarora.
3 That Thayendanegea was the grandchild of one of these sachems who were so honored appears from information given in an article published in the London Magazine; of July 1776. The material for this account of him is supposed to have been supplied by the famous author James Boswell, with whom, while on a visit to England in that year, he was intimate.
4 The Mohawks were divided into three clans--the Tortoise, the Bear, and the Wolf. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUfnPxK5YsWPOohPCN | 3rd LGBT Pride March in Porto
PT < >
Text by PortugalGay.PT. Photos by Samu for PortugalGay.PT, some photos by Pedro Ferreira. All rights reserved.
The third edition of the LGBT Pride March in Porto gathered about 300 persons in the streets of the city. Gay, bi, trans and heteros walked through the downtown streets in persuit of equal rights. With the theme "Equality is essential, education is fundamental," the march made quite a bang in the area. There were flags, whistles, music and lots of entretainment.
"Because a good education is the right to share happiness, is to treat and educate citizens as equal", says Paula Antunes. Very satisfied by a march having "more or less" the same number of participants of the previous year, the co-organizer of the event stresses the inclusion this year of Rua de Santa Catarina in the route, sure that the popular artery will give "another impact and visibility to the march." A human mass of activity came in to break the monotony of everyday life at the Saturday afternoon, dotted by the color of the rainbow flag and balloons. "Not less nor more, equal rights", "I love who I want, whether man or woman" or "Yes, yes, yes, we are like this", were some of the senteces most showted.
Two young mothers participated in the march pusshing baby carts. Alice Guerreiro, an Humanist Party activist, is one of them: "Ana (four years) goes with me everywhere." To this parent, the right to love and to express that feeling freely as the "freedom to have children with whom you choose", are fundamental. "Denying this, is a crime." At her side walks Sara, 29 years. She is German, living for four years in Portugal, the same age of the small Lyra, sitting in the cart "It's very cool, they live, learn how the world is. It's great for her! She is small, but part of us all", she says, in an almost immaculate Portuguese.
The march culminated in front of the City Hall, where the manifesto was read, which among other things, requests equal rights in matters such as marriage and adoption, and the information and demystification of sexual orientation and gender identity in the education system. The march was done the entire journey by Raquel Freire, Manuel Damas, Maria Jose Guedes and Regina Guimaraes, who were part of the 12 godparents and godmothers of the march. The organization was by PortugalGay.PT, Panteras Rosa, SEQSO, Humanist Party, SOS Racism, Kaleidoscope LGBT, Left Block and Centre of Cultures, Dot Bi, Poly-Portugal and the official site is available at: www.orgulhoporto.org.

BkiUd8I5qoTDtvejz9Fl | Report: Penn State leaders concealed Sandusky facts to avoid bad publicity
An independent report out this morning found that the most powerful men at Penn State—including head football coach Joe Paterno—failed to protect children from Jerry Sandusky for 14 years.
By Michael Sebastian
Those are among the findings from a new report out this morning that offers a damning assessment of Penn State's handling of Sandusky, who was convicted last month of 45 counts of sexual abuse toward young boys.
"Our most saddening and sobering finding is the total disregard for the safety and welfare of Sandusky's child victims by the most senior leaders at Penn State," Louis Freeh, the former federal judge and director of the F.B.I. who oversaw the investigation, said in prepared remarks. "The most powerful men at Penn State failed to take any steps for 14 years to protect the children who Sandusky victimized."
The report said:
"It is more reasonable to conclude that, in order to avoid the consequences of bad publicity, the most powerful leaders at Penn State University … repeatedly concealed critical facts relating to Sandusky's child abuse from the authorities, the Board of Trustees, Penn State community, and the public at large."
Penn State's Board of Trustees did not know about the allegations regarding Sandusky in 1998 and 2001, according to the report. Although the report does note that the board failed to create an environment in which the school's senior leaders were held accountable. | commoncrawl | 5 | 1 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUdnvxK2li-LJsv7x1 | Blog 772: Tomb Raider
Apr 1, 2020 Apr 1, 2020 Rao Dao Zao
Wait a minute. I reviewed Tomb Raider when I bought it off gog ages ago. How can I…? Oh, yes, of course — this isn't Tomb Raider, it's Tomb Raider (2013). Much as I can't stand the existence of reboots that have the exact same names as their progenitors, they gave this one away for free, and, well, I had heard good things.
The question of the brand-recognition reboot continues to perplex me with this example. It has very little in common with its namesake; beyond the protagonist being a posh girl called Lara Croft and a penchant for landscape clambering, there's nothing that would really satisfy somebody who saw this and thought "I remember loving Tomb Raider, I'll be sure to get the new one". This is putting aside any question of whether or not it's good; this is purely a question of it being something different.
Okay, fine, nobody's going to change the AAA/Hollywood mindset that simply having a pre-existing brand name makes a sure-fire hit and unknown properties are the absolute devil. Somebody made an adventure story about being stuck on an island full of cultists, let's call the player Lara Croft and stick the title Tomb Raider on it. What do you mean, there are no tombs? … Uh, let's add some optional ones on the side.
(Okay, it's a fair cop: after the first Tomb Raider the number of tombs involved dropped dramatically. That doesn't make it right.)
Excuse me, have you seen any tombs around here?
… yep, that'll do it.
The game itself is relentles in its desire to utterly brutalise its protagonist, and I don't mean in the sense that it's difficult (because it's not). Lara's on an expedition with a load of pals to discover a lost kingdom, and their ship is destroyed in a massive storm. After the nasty battering she takes just surviving the disintegration of the ship, Lara clambers ashore and is immediately kidnapped by the locals. We first take control of her hanging upside-down with several other dead bodies — our first actions in the game are to make her swing around until she can fall out…
… and she lands on a great big metal spike through her torso. This theme of overly graphic and faintly unnecessary torture continues through the game, most notably in its quick-time events. Not long after the game starts, Lara has to escape the cave as it collapses, struggling through a tight gap before the ceiling falls on her. Except you have to press the right button at the right time to get through. If you fail, you are treating to an eye-watering crunch as she's flattened by a boulder.
(Yes, all right, we were mildly amused by the sickening crunch when you drove her off an edge in the original, but this game has put considerable time and effort into its myriad gruesome deaths and not just played a meaty sound over a body dropping to the ground.)
Impalement through the neck is not something one wants to see 7 times in a row.
"How you doin'?"
When pursuing the main plot, there's always so much urgency too. One or other of your friends is kidnapped or lost or otherwise under threat, so you need to rush to get them. The island is full of madmen who will attack you on sight, which invariably leads to vast tracts of ancient ruin exploding around you so you have to run or fall to your death. (It has a minimal HUD, so it's not always clear when the game is playing and when it expects you to take control again.)
In terms of scale, it reminds me a lot of the more overblown sections of Sonic Adventure or Sonic Heroes — blindly holding forward and trusting the game to point you in the right direction as great chunks of level slough away at your passing. However, where in a Sonic game you're on board for it being silly because, well, that's the point, Tomb Raider is narratively very grounded. The people are very normal, the visuals show a very normal world — and yet the devastation is always huge. It's never just a small fire, it's never just one broken bridge: it's always everything for a long distance.
For some reason we also stumble into DooM for ten minutes. Yes, that is a lake of blood.
And then suddenly you're left tool around in the aftermath of the devastation, looking for collectibles. This is generally quite fun, because you get to focus on climbing around — working out which series of jumps and ladders and ledges will get you up to interesting places.
The collectibles vary in quality, which does sour things a bit. Most boring are "GPS caches", which purely give you an experience point reward — and what even IS a GPS cache? (And how did thousands of them get onto this island, which is accessible only by shipwreck?)
More interesting are the "relics". Found in tins, these are (reconstructions of presumably genuine) historical items you get to spin around and examine, accompanied by a miniscule tidbit of historical context as Lara identifies the item. While the puzzling traversal of the environment is intrinsically satisfying, it feels even better to get a curious and unique droplet of lore at the end of it. It's much more varied than, say, the original which could only give you more ammunition (that you often couldn't even carry because you already had plenty).
I mean, that's still not a tomb.
Ah yes, the lost kingdom of Yamatai, known for its cable-car system.
The disparity between narrative and gameplay is nothing new, of course, but it feels particularly egregious here. During cinematics, Lara is fighting for her life and constantly in emotional turmoil from all her dead friends; while in gameplay, she's popping headshots with the longbow and is encouraged to close in for "brutal finishers". Seeing as you get bonus experience points for headshots, it almost feels like Bulletstorm — but while that game revelled in over-the-top silliness and made such rewards a core of its being (and its narrative!), Tomb Raider so often shows Lara with a pained expression that the combat rewards start to feel a bit weird.
(Funnily enough, the grinning, gun-toting Lara Croft of the early games would probably suit "brutal finishers" just fine. She definitely had a mean streak, what with locking her butler in the freezer all the time.)
I think it's even more interesting here because, given the starting point of "adventuring woman hunts for weird archeology in exotic places", you've got a golden opportunity to make an exciting game that doesn't focus entirely on murdering your way through an army of goons. There are glimmers of this alternate world in the collectible relics, but these are ultimately a bonus tacked on the side and are never relevant to the plot.
The RPG elements are fairly perfunctory and the game would have been just fine without them. Indeed, they mostly serve to highlight the BRUTAL FINISHERS.
I think I'm going to be seeing "mash [right shift] to [something]" in my dreams for the next three weeks.
But hey, that's just me. Overall the experience of playing Tomb Raider has been nothing worse than fine; in terms of production values, it's very pretty and very dramatic and, aside from a few irritating quick-time events, not particularly difficult. The relics are a nice touch and a bit of Lara talking to herself out loud definitely helps you through the more obtuse puzzles in a way the first game desperately needed. The story, dissonance with the gameplay aside, is also perfectly engaging and coherent.
But would I pay money for a sequel? Ehhh… For some reason, all it makes me want to do is play Crysis.

BkiUc9bxK0fkXQzmLgHI | Q: IE11 table layout breaks when ancestor has display: flex I have a simple table that lays out correctly in Chrome. But in IE11, the layout is broken when an ancestor element has display: flex.
The input boxes at the bottom of the page should be 10px from the bottom of the table headers. So to do this, I set margin-bottom on the header text itself to make room for the input boxes (filters), and then I absolutely position them to the bottom of the th elements, which have position:relative to anchor them.
Here is the link:
https://codepen.io/nfknight/pen/KXyKdw
Any help is appreciated! Or I am curious if there are other ideas on how to accomplish a variable-height header-text with a fixed filter element. Both the header-text element and filter elements must be siblings.
A: It's not a problem with a flex ancestor. Removing it doesn't appear to make any difference in IE11 or Chrome. It looks like it's a rendering difference for absolute positioning.
You can work around the problem by making the columns flex containers.

*In CSS Flexbox, why are there no "justify-items" and "justify-self" properties?
A: As mention, it is not Flexbox related, it is based on the fact that the effect of position: relative on table elements is undefined, which is well described here:

*Using Position Relative/Absolute within a TD?
In this case it turns out that pinning height: 100% on the way up the stack cures the absolute positioning issue, so if you add this rule it will work in IE as well.

The central government said – we do not have the death toll, how to give compensation, Rahul Gandhi said this …
New Delhi: The Union Labor Ministry has told in the Lok Sabha on Monday that we do not have the death toll of migrant laborers, so how can we give compensation. In such a way of giving compensation, the question does not arise. On this, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has strongly attacked the Modi government of the Center. Rahul Gandhi asked the Modi government that if the government did not keep the record of the deaths of the migrants, then did not the deaths happen?

In a tweet on Tuesday morning, Rahul Gandhi questioned the government, "Modi government does not know how many migrant workers died in lockdown and how many jobs went. Did you not count if you did not die? Yes, but the government is unhappy, they have seen their death, there is a Modi government, which has not been reported.

– Rahul Gandhi (@RahulGandhi) September 15, 2020
In the first parliamentary session between Coronaviruses, the ministry was asked whether the government had any data on migrant laborers returning to their home states. The opposition had also asked in the question whether the government was aware that many laborers had lost their lives during this period and whether the government had any details about them? At the same time, the question was whether such families were given financial assistance or compensation?
In fact, the government was asked what compensation has been given to the families of migrant laborers who lost their lives trying to reach their families in the coronavirus lockdown? There was a lot of criticism and uproar from the opposition on the government's response. The Labor Ministry has admitted that more than 1 crore migrant laborers have reached their home state from corners of the country during the lockdown.
On this, Union Labor Minister Santosh Kumar Gangwar said in his written reply that 'no such data has been maintained. So no question arises on this. '

BkiUeAs5qU2Ap6C-Cyj_ | Many aquarium books tell you that breeding seahorses is a simple thing to do, but that's not true. Only experienced aquarists should attempt this undertaking. For one thing, they need to be fed continuously because they lack a stomach for food storage.
Many aquarium books will tell you that breeding seahorses is a simple thing to do. But that is not true. Only experienced hobby aquarists should attempt this undertaking. If you have been able to keep a seahorse couple happy and healthy then chances are you may be ready for this next step.
Breeders agree that water quality must be very good to meet the needs of these young fish, but the trickiest part to breeding seahorses is their nutrition. They need to be fed continuously because they lack a stomach for food storage, and for at least two weeks after they are born, they should have food available at all times. This abundant store is necessary so they don't have to swim far since seahorses, young and old, are awful swimmers. The more they chase for food, the more energy they expend and this results in a low survival rate.
Some seahorse breeders leave a weak light on for 24 hours during the first two weeks, when food demands are high. This concentrates both the plankton and the seahorses to the same area, allowing the fry to be within easy reach of their prey. Nevertheless, many hobby aquarists are stumped at why their seahorses die, although all of these demands have been met. This is no big mystery – the answer lies in food quality.
Seahorses will only eat live food (although some hard-core aquarists have been able to "train" their adults to eat frozen food). You must therefore have a separate tank set-up in which you can culture your own live food . Mysid shrimp are the best food for seahorses, but these are difficult to come by. Brine shrimp, on the other hand, are easy to find and to raise, although alone they are not nutritious enough to sustain the fry's needs. However, the quality of the shrimp zooplankton can be raised to adequate levels by feeding them enrichment formula (like Selcon or rotifers) and phytoplankton before you give them to your fry.
Feed the baby seahorses the newly-hatched and young brine shrimp (called nauplii) because they are high in fatty acids, which the fry need for growth. Poor vision and difficulty finding prey, worn or mysteriously eroding fins, poor growth rates, mass die-offs, sudden fright syndrome (shock or death when frightened) and high occurrence of disease are all indicators that your brood may be suffering from malnutrition.
Studies have shown that the fry do the best with a varied diet, such as an occasional feast of mysid shrimp or copepods between regular fortified brine shrimp feedings. If you think you can handle the demanding nutritional requirements, then you can probably raise a brood of seahorses successfully. Anyone who has done it will tell you the extra effort is well worth it.
The mating ritual of seahorses is a spectacular thing to witness. The male approaches the female and settles down next to her. He then quivers to get her attention, puffing out his pouch. The female will then quiver back. They both swim into the water column, often "holding tails" and promenading around the tank. They commonly change colors as they encounter one another.
Once they've settled down, it's time to mate. The female lays her eggs in the males pouch. He will wiggle and squirm a bit in order to situate the eggs in his brood cavity. When the eggs are in place, the pouch seals shut until he is ready to give birth. The gestation period can vary; however, the shortest of any known species is about 15 days (for the dwarf seahorse, Hippocampus zosterae).
Birth usually occurs early in the morning, but you can tell because the father gets very restless. Some aquarists isolate the male into the nursery tank, although others don't recommend it saying that it stresses him out too much. When the babies are ready to escape the pouch, already having hatched from their eggs inside, the male experiences what looks like intense labor pains. He anchors himself to something and twists and writhes to force the fry out, sometimes even rubbing his belly against a hard object to shift the brood toward his pouch entrance.
Although adult seahorses do not eat their young, the fry should be isolated into a nursery so they can be properly fed. Catch the fry by using a cup or glass. Do not use a fishnet – at no time should they be exposed to the open air. Watch for more babies one or two days after the initial brood has been born.
The first two weeks are the most crucial. The nursery should be a simple setup, and not too large. Be careful about what airstones you use. If the bubbles are too small, the fry will consume them, thinking they are a meal, and die. If you use a good circulation system you may not need extra aeration. A bubble-up or sponge filter and a small power filter should suffice.
If you chose to add a substrate or gravel, stick to dolomite, aragonite or crushed oyster shell. This substrate type will buffer the pH of the water and help keep toxins down (if the gravel is already biologically established). Some aquarists say that gravel is not a good idea because it makes cleaning a little more difficult.
Ammonia and nitrites should be at or close to nil, and nitrates at less than 10 ppm. Like most marine species, a pH of 8.0-8.3 is ideal and a specific gravity of 1.020-1.024. Know what temperature your species perfers since it can range anywhere from the low-60s to mid-70s (Fahrenheit). Maintain your water quality in the nursery by doing frequent partial water changes, about 25-30 percent every week or so. To save money, you can use this old water for raising the brine shirmp.
If you have live rock in the tank, make absolutely sure that no bristle worms and crustaceans are inside. They'll eat the fry. The baby seahorses need many hitching posts, so make sure to have some holdfasts available in your tank. The precarious status of seahorses in nature due to a rapid decline in the quality of their native environments has made breeding them a labor of love for the conservation-minded Hippocampus fan. | c4 | 5 | 3 | 5 | 4 |

BkiUd904uBhjDH-QNT39 | Much like a computer and monitor, printers need frequent maintenance to avoid paper jams, dried ink, and printing errors. Follow these three simple tips to keep your business or persnal printers in NYC NY in the very best condition.
A buildup of dirt can end up harming a printer. If debris and dust make their way to the inside of the printer, this can cause the ink to streak on the printing paper. To successfully get rid of any tiny dirt particles, simply use a vacuum with a small attachment and clean the exterior and interior of the Printers in NYC NY. Avoid using cans of duster to remove dirt off of printers. The duster will just end up spraying the dirt further inside the printer. For even better results, use a cotton swab dabbed with some purified water and clean the smaller and harder to reach areas such as the compartment where the ink cartridges are placed. This should be performed at least once every week.
To avoid dried out ink, try to print as often as possible. Because the ink will be used frequently, it has less of a chance of drying while it's inside the printer. To maintain top performance ink, simply print something at least once a week. It also is important to never fully run out of ink. Try to refill the ink cartridge before it gets to 20% full. Running out of ink will end up ruining the printer hardware and may also lead to a broken printer head.
There's no doubt about it, printer ink can be quite expensive. Saving a few dollars and buying a cheaply made generic brand of ink may seem like the suitable thing to do in order to save a few dollars. However, it is strongly not recommended. For the best ink jobs, choose high-quality ink that is made specifically for the type of printer you own. Never compromise on this. Low-grade ink can end up damaging the internal parts of the printer and will produce poor, blotchy, and faded out printing.
Follow these three tips to keep printers well maintained and in good condition. Doing so will produce terrific, clear, and streak-free printing results. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 4 | 2 |

BkiUdw45qoTA0iwhHsMo | University receives C-130 Air Force plane for research
A decommissioned C-130 Hercules Air Force cargo plane has been delivered to the University of Dayton for research. Here, C-130s taxi out for a six-ship sortie at Yokota Air Base, Japan. (Master Sgt. Val Gempis/Air Force)
DAYTON, Ohio — A decommissioned C-130 Hercules Air Force cargo plane has been delivered to the University of Dayton for research on cost-effective ways to keep older C-130s flying.
The Dayton Daily News reports the plane recently arrived in sections on flatbed trucks from Eglin Air Force Base, Florida.
University of Dayton Research Institute researchers are teaming with the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center's Product Support Engineering Division and the AFLCMC C-130 Program Office to test and demonstrate new technologies on the plane, once it's assembled.
An institute spokeswoman said manufacturers don't make parts for older planes and there often isn't information on parts or structures that need replacing. Researchers can scan an older aircraft and 3-D print a replacement part using computer-assisted design files.
"The Air Force spends a lot of money on aircraft sustainment," said Debbie Naguy, AFLCMC Product Support Engineering Division chief, in a press release "The C-130 that is being delivered here today will help us demonstrate and qualify new innovative technologies to lower sustainment costs and improve readiness."
Brian Stitt, division head for Sustainment Technologies Transition at UDRI, said in a press release that technology development and demonstration under the program will include micro-vanes for fuel savings, additive manufacturing, cold spray for repairs, robotics and lasers for paint removal, environmental evaluation of coatings, augmented and virtual reality, condition-based maintenance, and aircraft battle damage repair.
"The challenge is that, in many cases, no technical information exists on these parts because of the age of the aircraft," Naguy said in the press release. "So when a replacement part or structure is needed and there is no drawing available, we will reverse engineer the part, scanning it to create a three-dimensional digital model that be used to develop and qualify AM replacement parts."
The faster these technologies are developed and advanced, the bigger the impact will be for use across the Air Force enterprise, Stitt said in the press release.
The university poured a 2,500-square-foot concrete pad to support the aircraft, which weighs approximately 40 tons when empty and has a 133-foot wing span.
The research, which involves students from Dayton, Ohio State and Wright State universities, is expected to last 18 to 24 months.

BkiUcbjxK0iCl2n1-6H6 | Manchester United could receive over £26m per season if they were to sell sponsorship to Old Trafford.
Former Chelsea CEO Trevor Birch heads up independent financial advisor Duff & Phelps, and the company has discovered that the cost of naming all 20 stadiums in the country has risen from £74.6m to £135.6m between 2013 and 2017.
United top the list, while Manchester City's Etihad Stadium is worth £19.1m per season.
Birch, managing director and head of British sports at the firm, is quoted by The Sun: "Sponsorship demand for the content rights of the top clubs in the Premier League shows no sign of abating.
"We have seen enormous increases in rights values of the elite clubs over the last couple of years, especially regarding shirt branding and product endorsement.
"Although the UK hasn't embraced stadium naming rights as enthusiastically as the United States, its potential to become an important revenue stream is highlighted by these figures.
"Clubs are continually looking at ways to generate extra value, and given the gilt-edged international demand for the Premier League TV rights, we may be entering a period where we start to see clubs monetising their stadium rights.
Chelsea's Stamford Bridge comes in at £17.7m while the report states that Tottenham could earn £15.5m, with chairman Daniel Levy still attempting to find a sponsor for the new stadium that is currently under construction.
Arsenal round out the top five at £15.3m, while Liverpool could receive £11.1m for selling the naming rights to Anfield.
Outside of the top six, Stoke City comes in at £6.3m, while Huddersfield Town and AFC Bournemouth are at the bottom of the table, worth £300,000 and £600,000 respectively. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 2 |

BkiUcUfxK1Thg9qFcjlv | At the end of this month Europe's General Data Protection Regulation will come into effect.
This game changing policy - which has been in the works since April 2016 - is trying to bring some much needed transparency to way tech companies collect data in Europe. It applies to all business collecting information on users in Europe.
You may care more about Instagram's latest emoji feature, the laws have a bigger impact on you than you realise.
According to Forbes the new regulations will greatly affect ". . . adtech companies comply with the collection and processing of personal data." And this includes tech giants like Google.
But the search engine giant is doing things a bit differently.
Wait . . . What is the General Data Protection Regulation?
The General Data Protection Regulation (a.k.a. GDPR) is a regulation in European law that governs data protection and privacy for all individuals within the European Union. It's coming into effect in a few days, prompting many of our favourite digital platforms to alter their methods of data collection - hence the reason why you might be getting a lot of emails lately.
The regulation also addresses the exporting of personal data outside the EU.
Tech companies that breach the new regulations could face a fine of up to €20 million.
So . . . Does Google have a new data collection policy?
While Google is committed to abiding by Europe's new GDPR laws, it hasn't significantly changed its data collection policies.
While the search engine giant has simplified the language used in its "updated" policy, there are no significant changes in services or permissions. According to The Verge, Google seems intent on helping users understand why and how it collects data, but doesn't plan on stopping any time soon.
"We collect information to provide better service to all our users," Google Director (Privacy Legal EMEA) William Malcolm said, in a recent blog post.
Google is also working on updating its data exporting options, so users will be able to review the information it collects.
But the bottom line is Google seems far less concerned about collecting data from its European users than other tech companies (i.e. Facebook).
How will this affect users in the UAE?
Most companies are working to become more transparent with their users, both inside and outside of Europe.
The new GDPR regulations ultimately benefit all users, so UAE citizens and residents can be mindful of what information companies and networks are collecting on their browsing habits. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 2 |

BkiUfufxaKgQZUmnadqJ | With the recent emergence of the knowledge-based economy society and the open innovation paradigm, a new phenomenon is now occurring around knowledge and technology and thus, it is necessary to pay attention to the following two characteristics. First, the volume of knowledge increasingly gets far greater than that of the past. The postmodern capitalist society, which is faced with limits in the existing growth stage that is based on labor and capital, is desperately craving for new sources of economic growth. In other words, the innovative use of knowledge and technology is drawing fresh attention from people. The second characteristic worthy of attention is the exponential increase of circulation speed of knowledge. Because of this, various and complex phenomena that cannot be explained from the perspective of the existing economy theory are occurring in every corner of our society and economy. As such, industries and academic societies as well as big data fields are paying attention to the research activities that can suggest a new vision to the study of uncertainties and complexity systems.
Meanwhile, as the signs of social, economic, and political crises, such as growth without employment, trend of global conglomerate concentration, and increase of government's role, are being brought to the fore, social stability is now facing a great problem because of the crisis of sustainable growth and job creation. Although countless entrepreneurs, scholars, as well as global societies, are expressing concerns for the severity of the crisis they are facing now, the active research of academic societies to improve the present situation is still insufficient.
In line with this, this society intends to develop the abilities to be able to react to "Postcapitalism", the "Knowledge-based Economy", and the "Complex Adaptive Economy System" academically through researches on "Open Innovation", "Open Business Model", "Collaborative Innovation", and "Complex Adaptive System". In addition, this society will try to help overcome the crisis of postcapitalism by constructing a global consulting network on open innovation as well as an open innovation platform that suggests alternatives that can be applied to enterprises and their actual innovation sites.
Our journal initiative, Journal of Open Innovation: Technology, Market, and Complexity, focuses on an interdisciplinary research and theoretical, methodological, and applied work.It is especially dedicated to understanding economic, management, organizational, policy, and other critical issues occurring from science, technology, R&D, innovation, and markets.
Indicators on R&D, Innovation, and etc.
Journal of Open Innovation: Technology, Market, and Complexity (JOItmC) shall be published on an Open Access basis through the publishing company MDPI, allowing access from anyone in the world after paying 650 CHF(Swiss Francs)/ article by the author.
If needed, each journal article may be linked to this website to attract the support of article publication charge from the enterprises in need of consulting on the article contents, enabling open innovation through the medium of articles between the enterprises and the authors as the specific mentors and mentees.
It shall be held every year in principle and shall be divided into two sessions: academy and business.
In the academy session, overall academic researches suitable for the purpose of this society shall be exchanged.
In the business session, open innovation cases and business model implementation cases shall be extensively presented by various companies. Furthermore, the role of the business session is expected to serve as a place in which commercializable knowledge and technology based on business models can be exchanged.
Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science and Technology (DGIST) has successfully invited the 8th Knowledge Cities World Summit (KCWS) 2015, an international conference hosted every year by World Capital Institute (http://www.worldcapitalinstitute.org/), which is a nonprofit organization. This society will host this conference in 2015 as a pilot project and will deal with various issues, such as innovation, knowledge-based development, city planning, and innovation-based corporate growth under the theme of "Open Innovation, Knowledge City, and Creative Economy".
In principle, the society is operated with the voluntary motives of all members that constitute the society.
However, less than 15 directors that make up the board of directors (including the chairman and vice-chairman) and the heads of the 5 subcommittees shall make important decisions for efficient operation of the society.
The Conference of Open Innovation shall be regularly held every year. However, if suitable for the purpose of the society, conferences can be held jointly with other conferences or by inviting other conferences. | c4 | 4 | 5 | 5 | 4 |
BkiUe5DxK6nrxl9bPBc1 | Q: Should I clear InAppBrowser cache and session cache after OAuth 2.0 authentication? The title really says it all, but of course will provide some details around the question.
Background
My Ionic3 application is using OAuth 2.0 for authentication. Here is the flow:
*
*User clicks login
*An InAppBrowser webview is opened, directing them to an OpenID Connect login portal page.
*Upon successful login, a redirect url is called and an auth_code is sent along with it.
*The app (using an event listener) sees this url with an auth_code, and force closes the InAppBrowser and grabs the auth_code
*The app then sends that auth_code to a server application to get the token set (access_token, refresh_token etc.) and verifies/validates they have not been spoofed or tampered with.
*Upon successful validation the token set and user info is sent back to the app and stored in local storage and user can enter app.
I can then keep users authenticated as long as the session has not expired, otherwise I can use the refresh_token to authenticate again.
My question comes in at step 2. What I'm not sure of is whether or not I should clear browser cache and/or clear session cache of the InAppBrowser.
Am I opening my app up to any vulnerabilities or threats if I do not clear the browser cache and session cache?
If so I can just use access/refresh token for continuous authentication, but I am curious and can't find much info on this scenario.
Example Clearing:
webview = window.cordova.InAppBrowser.open(openIdUrl, '_blank', 'location=no,clearcache=yes,clearsessioncache=yes');
webview.addEventListener('loadstart', (event) => {
if(event.url.inclues('redirect://?code')) {
// Grab auth_code in event.url
...
webview.removeEventListener('exit', () => {})
webview.close();
// Send auth_code to my server
...
}
});
Example Not Clearing:
webview = window.cordova.InAppBrowser.open(openIdUrl, '_blank', 'location=no,clearcache=no,clearsessioncache=no');
webview.addEventListener('loadstart', (event) => {
if(event.url.inclues('redirect://?code')) {
// Grab auth_code in event.url
...
webview.removeEventListener('exit', () => {})
webview.close();
// Send auth_code to my server
...
}
});
InAppBrowser Documentation
clearcache: set to yes to have the browser's cookie cache cleared before the new window is opened
clearsessioncache: set to yes to have the session cookie cache cleared before the new window is opened
Any definitive answers / knowledge is greatly appreciated. Very new to this space.

BkiUdUM5i7PA9OlIEa_X | EARLY BIRD ONLY £144 See Below* The University of York (Department of Health Sciences) ran one of the largest research studies into yoga to date, funded by Arthritis Research UK. Teachers from the Iyengar Yoga Association (UK) and British Wheel of Yoga designed and ran specialist group classes in five areas of the UK for chronic back pain. The positive results were published in the Annals of Internal Medicine in 2011. The Cost Evaluation in Spine Journal showed that this yoga would be cost-effective for the NHS.
Total Course Fee is usually £156 for the 12 class specialist yoga tuition inclusive of all supporting handouts required for the course.
ESSENTIAL RESOURCES – It is essential to also have the YHLB Book and CD to accompany course which you may purchase directly from www.yogaforbacks.co.uk or from myself this time, at a one off discounted rate of £28 for both. (I have recently managed to obtain a set of books and CD's before price rises have been implemented) . If you chose to purchase the YHLB book and CD from me they will be sold on a first come first served basis.
GETTING ONTO A COURSE – Once we have had an initial chat and I have assessed your registration form and confirmed if the course may be beneficial to you then a non-refundable £20 deposit is required to secure your place. The balance of £136 is due on, or anytime before lesson 1 and is non-refundable once the course has started. (See above for Early Bird Payment details) .
Payment may be made by cash, cheque's payable by 8 August 2019 to Yoga You Ltd, or bank transfer to Santander Acc 03912825 sort code 090150.
YHLB RETURNERS – If you wish to repeat the course to maintain or refresh your yoga practice the cost is £78 for the full course. Space permitting any missed classes on registration course may be 'made up' free of charge on subsequent course , or additional individual classes attended for £6.50 on any future course.
YHLB offers an empowering course which teaches self- management of your health, your back and is designed to give you the tools to know what to do to help yourself if you have a painful back episode and how to look after yourself with your yoga toolkit for your whole life time.
PLEASE LISTEN – to this powerful message to his peers from orthopedic back surgeon George Ampat at the Free From Pain Symposium on 30 March 2019, on the cost effectiveness of the YHLB course compared with largely ineffective use of steroid injections and their disproportionate £750 cost to the NHS compared to @£150 for YHLB Course!

BkiUdkU4uzlh5508AuRK | Logitech promotes the phenomena with second annual Work From Home Week.
The State of the Remote Job Marketplace report from FlexJobs says there are now 3.9 million Americans or 2.9% of the total US workforce who work from home at least half the time. The incentives are appealing to both companies and their employees, so the work-at-home population will likely continue to grow.
Logitech is one company that's hoping to encourage people to give working from home a try. For the second year in a row, the company celebrates National Work From Home Week, recognizing Oct. 10 as its global work from home day. On this day, Logitech hopes that 3,500 team members and partner companies will participate. Other companies joining the celebration include Barco, BlueJeans, Samaschool, Upwork, and Zoom.
The positive effects on the environment are impossible to refute, as well: In 2017, Work from Home Week participants saved more than 60,000kg of CO2 by working from home. That's the equivalent of nearly 150,000 miles driven in a standard car and equals approximately six times the circumference of the Earth. Also impressive—people at Logitech saved an average of 90 minutes per day by skipping their daily commute.
With the statistics working in your favor, and home office equipment readily available, Work from Home Week is an ideal time to promote the concept to clients and offer a technology package to streamline the installation and configuration process. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUbDU5qoaAwnKZBJLf | When we first began selling online, we started on eBay, as it is such a well known sales venue that attracts millions of visitors. However, we quickly figured out that it was not the best selling platform for our handmade items. We did some research and found a wonderful selling platform for our handmade wreaths on Etsy.com, a marketplace full of vintage and beautifully handcrafted wares. In the beginning we were selling our paper wreaths, which are a unique item. We soon began selling the very trendy deco mesh wreaths, which are so fun to create, especially for the different holidays! Our newest products are our hydrangea wreaths and grapevine wreaths, as well as our best selling monogram initial wreaths. For the past few months, Etsy has given us the chance to learn the ups and downs of online retail, and we've been having a great time creating new products and expanding our product line. We've now decided to branch out and sell our wreaths on our own personal website, so here we are at newenglandhomeaccents.com. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 4 | 2 |
BkiUe-vxaKgQW0DXrPGD | Anne McAllister founded the Glasgow School of Speech Therapy in 1935 (director until 1964), and established a specialist clinic for children with speech difficulties, notably the results of birth defects, at the Royal Hospital for Sick Children in Glasgow in the following year.
"Naturally, the speech therapist is interested in the linguistic approach to speech disorders, deeply entrenched as it is in the modern concern with Communication."
She was also a founder member of the College of Speech Therapists in London which became the Royal College for Speech and Language Therapists in 1944.
Her monograph Clinical Studies in Speech Therapy, published in 1937, established her international reputation.
Born 29 November 1892, Biggar, Scotland.
Anne Hutchison McAllister (1892-1983) was a graduate of the University who became a Principal Lecturer at Jordanhill College of Education and a leading speech therapist.
After graduating MA in 1917, McAllister trained as a teacher at Stow College and was appointed Lecturer in Phonetics there in 1919, and subsequently at the teacher training college at Jordanhill. She established the Glasgow School of Speech Therapy in 1935 (she was Director until 1964) and in 1936 started a speech clinic at the dispensary at the Royal Hospital for Sick Children, for children who had undergone operations for cleft palates and hare lips. She was one of the founders of the College of Speech Therapists in London in 1945.
McAllister was awarded an OBE in 1954.

BkiUb1TxK7Ehm79fbrWg | While exploring the Twittersphere recently, I clicked on a political survey out of curiosity. Surprisingly, the question wasn't problematic. This time, it was the answer choices.
Yes. I want to protect America.
Like so many political surveys nowadays, this one feels coercive. If I select "no," I seem to be admitting that I don't want to protect America, and who doesn't want that? The survey question isn't biased in this specific example; the response choices are. They are designed to persuade or lead a person into answering in a specific way. This is what is known as a leading question.
Leading questions are one of the many types of biased survey questions. The problem with biased questions, attributes, and response choices are that they create inconsistent, contradicting, and misleading results.
The survey measures what it intends to measure.
It measures it consistently over time.
Relationships between variables in the survey are found in the expected direction (positive, negative, or no relationship).
Biased survey questions wreak havoc on the reliability and validity of the survey, which produces junk data. Biased questions increase respondent confusion, which then increases error in their responses. This, in turn, reduces the strength of the relationships between variables, making it much harder to find results when results are expected. In worst-case scenarios, biased questions can return results that may be untrue which then favors a specific outcome.
So what can we do to avoid bias in our surveys? Below, I discuss several types of biased questions, how they influence the results, and how to avoid them.
How would you rate your overall satisfaction (on a scale from "1" meaning "very unsatisfied" to "5" meaning "very satisfied") with how well the customer service support staff utilized their resources to resolve your most recent telecommunications problem with company X?
Very lengthy questions like the one above can cause respondent confusion, fatigue, and boredom, resulting in higher dropout rates and straight-lining (selecting all 5's as answers, for example). To combat this, keep questions short and to the point. Write clearly and concisely.
Better: Please rate your satisfaction with how well your most recent problem was resolved.
Please select the types of items you bought within the last three months based on YOLO.
Using obscure words, slang, acronyms, or technical language, can also cause respondent confusion, fatigue, and boredom, again resulting in higher dropout rates and straight-lining. Using everyday language and defining technical language/acronyms will cut down on error-filled responses.
Better: Please select the types of items you bought within the last three months based on the feeling that "you only live once."
Do you oppose allowing the board to prohibit article 10 on the ballot?
Often, when reading a question that has a double negative, our automatic response is… WHAT???? What is this question even asking? In order to interpret this question, one must conduct mental gymnastics to untangle the word mess. Respondents encountering this type of question are likely to be very confused, not knowing what is being asked of them. They may guess at an answer, select the same answer they chose for the question above it, or drop out of the survey.
Instead of using two negatives such as "oppose" and "prohibit" in the same sentence, the question should be reworded in a way that gets straight to the point and omits the double negative.
Better: Should the board ban article 10 from the ballot?
Hot chocolate is my favorite drink because it keeps me warm in the winter.
Double-barreled attributes typically combine two ideas into one sentence which the respondent then has to rate. The problem is that double-barreled attributes assume things are true about some people while marginalizing others. The example above assumes that everyone drinks hot chocolate and that they drink it because it keeps them warm in the winter. Perhaps the respondent hates hot chocolate. If they disagree, are they disagreeing that the hot chocolate is their favorite drink or that it keeps them warm in the winter? Perhaps the respondent loves to drink hot chocolate year round. Perhaps the respondent lives in a climate that does not experience winter temperatures, but they still favor hot chocolate. What does it mean if they agree strongly to this statement?
The example above marginalizes people: those who dislike hot chocolate, those who like hot chocolate but perhaps can no longer drink it (e.g., diabetics), those who do not experience winter temperatures, those who drink hot chocolate in the summer, and those who drink other beverages to keep them warm in the winter. How should they rate this statement? Double-barreled attributes bias the data because there is no way to interpret the resulting responses. To quell the bias here, we need to split double-barreled attributes into two or more statements.
Better: Hot chocolate is my favorite drink.
AND: I drink hot chocolate to keep me warm in the winter.
How angry are you with the democrats for the government shutdown?
Leading questions are the most nefarious of all biased questions. These questions are worded to elicit particular answers. In essence, leading questions coerce a specific response. They are the cousin of falsifying data, and they produce results that lie.
Because the question above directly asks how angry you are with the democrats, it implies that you should be angry with them, and that you should blame them for the shut down, even if you disagree. It further assumes that everyone blames the democrats for the shutdown AND that everyone is angry with the democrats for it. When this question is given in a survey, those who believe someone else is responsible for the shutdown are still forced to answer how angry they are with the democrats for causing it. If one were to ask this question in a survey with a "1" (not angry) to "5" (very angry) scale, one could conclude from the results that 100% of the participants blame the democrats for the government shut down. They could also conclude that X% of the respondents are very angry about it.
Instead of implying or telling the participant what to think and feel, the survey question should ask them what they think and feel.
Better: How angry are you with the government shutdown?
AND: Who do you believe is responsible for the government shutdown?
As the saying goes, "Garbage in, garbage out." As researchers, we need to take painstaking care to make sure that we are creating surveys which contain unbiased questions that will give us good, clean, unbiased data. In this way, we can be sure that when we present the results to our clients, our results do not lie.

BkiUbEM5qsJBjmSXvdLz | Q: Hiding a separate DIV from a dropdown menu list item I am using the following jquery to hide a div in a query when the selector element is clicked on:
$(function() { // Shorthand for $(document).ready(function() {
$('.decline').click(function() {
$(this).closest('div').animate({backgroundColor: '#003'}, 'slow').
animate({opacity: 'hide'}, 'slow');
});
});
Here is the row and button that it currently works on; a user clicks on the button and the div fades away.:
<div class="<?php echo ($accept == '1')?'showop':'show';?>">
<span class="namecustcoltype"><?php echo $record; ?></span>
<span><a href="#" **class="decline"** **data-dropdown="#dropdown-1**" id1="<?php echo $id1; ?>" data-order1="<?php echo $name; ?>"><input type="button" title="declined" value="Decline" /></a></span>
</div>
I have now added a drop down to the button; it is added to the button by the id #dropdown-1 and the drop down is as follows:
<div id="dropdown-1" class="dropdown dropdown-tip">
<ul class="dropdown-menu">
<li><a href="#1" class="decline"><span>Option One</span></a></li>
<li><a href="#2">Option Two
</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
Now I want to change the functionality of the animation and execute it when a user clicks on on of the drop down items. The div IDs and classes are part of the query and cannot be used as selectors (there are many of the same on the same page).
Upon the suggestion of another user I tried the parent selector as follows:
jQuery('.decline').click(function () {
jQuery(this).parent('div').animate({ backgroundColor: "#003" }, "slow").animate({ opacity: "hide" }, "slow");
});
But that hasn't worked either.
If anyone has any ideas on what I might be doing wrong I would appreciate he help!
EDIT FOR ADDED JSFIDDLE: http://jsfiddle.net/2hvzM/1/
REMEMBER: The div IDs are being generated by the queried rowid so I MUST use parent/child/closest for my selector...just not sure which one.
EDIT with scrowler's solution and my additions:
$('.dropdown ul li').on('click', 'a', function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
var dropdownID = $(this).closest('div').attr('id');
// find the .show div by this ID and apply effects
var showDiv = $('a[data-dropdown="#' + dropdown-1 + '"]').closest('div.show');
showDiv.animate({backgroundColor: '#003'}, 'slow').animate({opacity: 'hide'}, 'slow');
});
A: You can try something like this:
$('.dropdown ul li').on('click', 'a', function(e) {
e.preventDefault(); // this prevents your anchor doing its default behaviour (redirect)
$(this).closest('div').animate({ backgroundColor: "#003" }, "slow").animate({ opacity: "hide" }, "slow");
});
This targets the .dropdown div(s) as the target, applying a click handler to children anchor elements using the delegated-events approach. You then use closest('div') to select the container and apply your effects to it.
Update:
Having seen your jsFiddle, here's an updated answer that will hide the div which isn't a parent or child of the element you're actually clicking.
I've used the id attribute of the dropdown's div container as a common link between the two. So get that id, use it to find the original button that you clicked to trigger the dropdown, find the parent div.show of that, and apply effects to that.
$('.dropdown ul li').on('click', 'a', function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
var dropdownID = $(this).closest('div').attr('id');
// find the .show div by this ID and apply effects
var showDiv = $('a[data-dropdown="#' + dropdownID + '"]').closest('div.show');
showDiv.animate({backgroundColor: '#003'}, 'slow').animate({opacity: 'hide'}, 'slow');
});
Fiddle
A: Your first try was ALMOST ok
Instead of parent('div') use parents('div'), like this:
jQuery('.decline').click(function () {
jQuery(this).parents('div').animate({ backgroundColor: "#003" }, "slow").animate({ opacity: "hide" }, "slow");
});
Hope it helps!

BkiUbfrxK7DgtAWey_ny | Recently, a group of local performers from G.L.A.M. Night and their friends from out of town were turned away after asking to try on dresses at Epris in the Gateway Mall.
"I've never had an issue like this before," says Reyes Rivera, aka Rhea Della Vera of G.L.A.M. Night.
G.L.A.M. (Gays, Lesbians and More) is a well-known Eugene dance party with drag queens, DJs, performances and go-go dancers. It was previously held at John Henry's and more recently at Diablo's Downtown Lounge.
Rivera was with his partner and their friends on Oct. 6 when they asked to try on some dresses at the store.
"The employee giggled and said 'Sorry, I can't let you in there. There's people in there,'" Rivera says.
Assistant Manager Kim McGeehon says the dressing rooms were full on Oct. 6 with mothers and daughters preparing for homecoming, and while the store "doesn't allow men" in the dressing room, it does "allow gay men." She said it was a miscommunication that could have been handled better, and in the past it has never been a problem.
Rivera called the store owner at least four times with no call back, although McGeehon said this is likely due to frequent traveling between stores.
"We were shocked. It's not about gay or straight, it's about treating everyone equally," Rivera says.
Rivera stresses that the incident was "unusual," and that in the four years he has been living in Eugene he has never experienced an incident like this at any store, local or corporate, including Forever 21, Kitsch-22, Charlotte Russe, Buffalo Exchange, Hot Topic and Wet Seal.
"I've been to most stores in this town and it's never been a problem. This is the only time this has ever happened to me," Rivera says. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 2 |

BkiUdZQ4eIXhxFYKU23d | Domain Name Scarcity
last modified Feb 04, 2016 11:02 AM
'Sorry Kids, all the good usernames are gone' - A recent column in The Financial Times quotes from the latest paper on domain name scarcity by Thies Lindenthal of Cambridge Real Estate Research Centre, Department of Land Economy at The University of Cambridge.
The article by Lisa Pollack talks about the end of 'a golden age of online identity', where we all have have relatively simple email addresses that include our names, but email addresses like these are running out.
The article goes on to say:
'Many will shout that this is all the more reason to purchase a domain name — to allow, say, a family of Joneses to have email addresses along the lines of [firstname]@jones.com. But here, too, many of the best addresses — that is, those that are familiar, pronounceable and memorable — have been snapped up.
Evidence of this is provided in a forthcoming paper in The Journal of Real Estate Finance and Economics. Thies Lindenthal of the University of Cambridge finds that there could be up to 25 per cent more registered domain names if more user-friendly ones were available. New addresses are being released by expanding the universe of top-level domains — for example, to include .site and .online — but whether these are widely adopted is a different matter. For those unable to find a web address to their liking, Lindenthal asks in a separate interview whether the growth of certain social media platforms will at some point slow down simply because users cannot find an attractive login name'. As Thies says,
"In the end who would like to be Dave123456789?"
"Virtual Space markets are like land rushs in the Wild West: Whoever is first can claim a location. New research investigates whether there is enough good space available to host all potential digital settlers." TL

Lost Laborers in Colonial California: Native Americans and the Archaeology of Rancho Petaluma
by Stephen W. Silliman
Library of Congress Classification E78.C15S57 2004
Dewey Decimal Classification 305.897079418
Native Americans who populated the various ranchos of Mexican California as laborers are people frequently lost to history. The "rancho period" was a critical time for California Indians, as many were drawn into labor pools for the flourishing ranchos following the 1834 dismantlement of the mission system, but they are practically absent from the documentary record and from popular histories.
This study focuses on Rancho Petaluma north of San Francisco Bay, a large livestock, agricultural, and manufacturing operation on which several hundred—perhaps as many as two thousand—Native Americans worked as field hands, cowboys, artisans, cooks, and servants. One of the largest ranchos in the region, it was owned from 1834 to 1857 by Mariano Guadalupe Vallejo, one of the most prominent political figures of Mexican California. While historians have studied Vallejo, few have considered the Native Americans he controlled, so we know little of what their lives were like or how they adjusted to the colonial labor regime.
Because Vallejo's Petaluma Adobe is now a state historic park and one of the most well-protected rancho sites in California, this site offers unparalleled opportunities to investigate nineteenth-century rancho life via archaeology. Using the Vallejo rancho as a case study, Stephen W. Silliman examines this California rancho with a particular eye toward Native American participation. Through the archaeological record—tools and implements, containers, beads, bone and shell artifacts, food remains—he reconstructs the daily practices of Native peoples at Rancho Petaluma and the labor relations that structured indigenous participation in and experience of rancho life. This research enables him to expose the multi-ethnic nature of colonialism, counterbalancing popular misconceptions of Native Americans as either non-participants in the ranchos or passive workers with little to contribute to history.
Lost Laborers in Colonial California draws on archaeological data, material studies, and archival research, and meshes them with theoretical issues of labor, gender, and social practice to examine not only how colonial worlds controlled indigenous peoples and practices but also how Native Americans lived through and often resisted those impositions. The book fills a gap in the regional archaeological and historical literature as it makes a unique contribution to colonial and contact-period studies in the Spanish/Mexican borderlands and beyond.
Stephen W. Silliman is Associate Professor of Anthropology at the University of Massachusetts, Boston.

BkiUdmg5qdmDMTwvPZa7 | The frequency and severity of products liability lawsuits have become a matter of increasing importance and concern to the public at large and to American business in particular. The number of product liability cases filed each year escalated dramatically in the 1970s both in absolute terms and as a fraction of all civil cases.' The economic incentives for safety created by these product liability claims no longer are a minor concern but are now a fundamental influence on the economic environment of the firm. In recent years many larger firms have established corporate product safety offices to integrate these product safety concerns into the design and manufacture of safer products... To explore these issues I will use a sample of over 10,000 closed product liability claims, which is discussed in Section I. The first issue to be addressed is how the key economic and legal variables affect the disposition of product liability claims-which claims are dropped, which are settled, and which go to verdict. These issues are the focus of Section II. In Section III, I address the determinants of the compensation for bodily injury loss in out-of-court settlements and jury verdicts. The conclusions that emerge from this analysis are summarized in Section IV. | c4 | 5 | 4 | 5 | 4 |

But in the internet environment, where a significant proportion of the functionality of new services is supported by Customer Premises Equipment (CPE), deployment can be an issue. How can such a diverse range of new services be easily deployed – particularly in a heterogeneous environment, like the internet, where different users have different terminal capabilities, and access bandwidths. This paper describes how the delivery, to the CPE device, of a recipe for dynamically building an application on the CPE device may be used to simplify the deployment of new services.

Dublin: statue of Molly Malone by Jeanne Rynhart
photograph: Wikimedia Commons
Molly Malone, also known as Cockles and Mussels, is a ballad telling the story of an attractive fishmonger who sold cockles and mussels from her barrow which she wheeled through the streets of Dublin. It tells how she died of a fever and how her ghost now haunts the streets of the city.
The phrase to warm the cockles of one's heart means to give one a comforting feeling of contentment.
The noun cockle now denotes specifically an edible burrowing bivalve mollusc with a strong ribbed shell common on sandy coasts (Genus Cardium, family Cardiidae). But it was formerly applied more vaguely to other bivalves and their shells.
This is because this word is from Old French coquille, meaning shell (with the English shifting of the stress, the original Middle-English forms such as cokille have become cockle, in the same way that gentle is from Middle-English forms such as gentile). In his textbook Lesclarcissement de la langue francoyse (1530), the teacher and scholar of languages John Palsgrave translated both the English terms coccle fysshe and cokell shell as French coquille.
The expression the cockles of one's heart is first recorded in Some Observations upon the Answer to an Enquiry into the Grounds and Occasions of the Contempt of the Clergy (London, 1671), by the English satirist John Eachard (1636?-1697):
I am confident of it, that this Contrivance of his did inwardly as much rejoyce the Cockles of his heart, as he phansies, that what I writ did sometimes much tickle my spleen.
PROBABLE ORIGIN OF THE COCKLES OF ONE'S HEART
The phrase might be based on the resemblance between the shape of the heart and that of a cockleshell – or of the body the shell protects.
In Tractatus de Corde (A Treatise on the Heart – 1669), the English physician and physiologist Richard Lower (1631-91) wrote, about the muscular fibres of the ventricles:
Fibræ […] spirali suo ambitu Helicem sive cochleam¹ satis aptè referunt.
These fibres […], with their spiral circuit, may rather aptly be referred to as a Helix or snail-shell¹.
(¹ In Traité du Cœur, the 1679 French translation of Lower's treatise, cochlea is rendered as coquille de limaçon, snail-shell.)
In classical Latin, cochlea, or coclea, meant snail and snail-shell – cf. English cochlea, denoting the spiral cavity of the inner ear, from the resemblance of its shape to that of a snail-shell.
The ventricles of the heart might therefore have been called cochleæ cordis², and this might have been turned into the cockles of one's heart.
(² The word cochleæ is the nominative plural of cochlea; cordis, meaning of the heart, is the genitive singular of cor, heart—cf. English courage.)
FOLK ETYMOLOGIES
According to a popular theory, the explanation lies in the zoological name for the cockle, Cardium, from Greek καρδία (= kardía), heart (cf. English cardiac).
But this theory overlooks the fact that the cockles of one's heart is first recorded in 1671, before the Swedish natural historian and physician Carolus Linnaeus (Carol von Linné – 1707-78) founded modern systematic botany and zoology in Systema Naturæ. The earliest instance of Cardium in the sense of cockle that I have found in an English text is from Lectures on the Materia Medica (London, 1773), by William Cullen, professor of medicine at the University of Edinburgh:
These were formerly confounded partly with the Fishes; for the reasons of classing them separately, vide Linnæus, vol. I. Systema Naturæ. […] Cardium edule, the Cockle; Cardium echinatum, prickly Cockle.
According to another—and far-fetched—theory, cockle in the expression is from the Latin term of endearment corculum, little heart, diminutive of cor. For example, in Folk-etymology, a dictionary of verbal corruptions or words perverted in form or meaning, by false derivation or mistaken analogy (London, 1882), A. Smythe Palmer wrote:
In default of a better I make the following suggestion. As we find 'corke,' a provincial word for the core or heart of fruit, so 'cockle' may be for 'corcle,' 'corkle,' or 'corcule,' an adaptation of the Latin 'corculum,' a little heart, and the expression would mean the core (French 'cœur'), or "heart of heart," but why the word occurs in the plural I cannot say.
But the word corcle, from Latin corculum, is first recorded in the early 19th century, long after the cockles of one's heart.

People's background has nothing to do with their career. Randy Moss, who had been through the worst part of life, reached the unexpected height in his football career and is one of the magnificent players of all time in the American National Football League.
He is also known for his high tempered attitude in the NFL and has set himself in the top list of record-holders in NFL.
Randy Moss' Net Worth
The net worth of the retired football player, Randy Moss is $25 million. Well, he summons the average of $6.5 million as his salary. Randy Moss is a professional American football player who is one of the 50 Vikings in American National Football League.
In 1998, he signed with Minnesota Vikings. He also made the record of 4 receptions for 95 yards and two touchdowns. He also had the records of 9 receptions for Pro-Bowl record 212 Yards. He grabbed the Most Valuable Player Award in 1999.
In 2005, he signed his new contract with Oakland Raiders. He was reportedly not happy in Oakland Raiders. Then in 2007, he moved to New England Patriots where he performed his considerable skills in football and then returned to Minnesota. But, in 2011, Joel Segal announced about Randy's decision for retirement. Fending off the rumors, Randy made an official announcement on his birthday on 13 February 2012 stating that he will be back in football.
In 2012, he signed with San Francisco 49ers where he had 28 catches for 434 yards and three touchdowns. He has gathered much of his interests from his professional football career.
Fast-forward to 2019, Moss
In September 2019, after the New England Patriots signed Antonio Brown, Randy advised Antonio to either put up with the team or shut up. The Patriots are hoping the new addition will work out as it did with Rand who left the team in 2007. Antonio was frequent in the news but not for his achievements in football.

Relationship Status: Is He Married Or Single?
Randy was previously in a relationship with Libby Offutt. The estranged couple is parents to five children among which the name of their four kids are Sydney, Thaddeus, Senali, and Montigo.
Thadeus is the first child of Randy Moss. His son is likely to follow his father's career as he originally played at NC State and is all set to debut with the Tigers in 2018. His daughter, Senali Moss is currently at the age of 13 and is a YouTuber.
On the other had his daughter Sydney, moved up from her women's basketball playing career to coaching ranks. She still had loved for playing even though it was hard on her knees. She dreamt of entering the professional basketball world, but her knee surgery was too heavy to carry such a burden. She is up for collecting awards as a coach as of now. Sydney worked up a season as an assistant coach for St. Albans High School's girl's basketball team. She quickly moved her way up to the University of Charleston as a new assistant coach for university's coach Becky Burke.
Even after parting the ways, Randy and Libby had a feud on social media. In December 2016, Randy tweeted saying that Libby refused to get treatment for drug addiction. Furthermore, he said that she spent $4 million on drugs. Meanwhile, he also prevented her from visiting their kids without any treatment.

In January 2017, Libby opened up with TMZ about her addiction and clarified that she hadn't spent $4 million on drugs, and if she had, she would have already been dead. She alleged Randy stating that he is trying his best to keep their children away from her. He didn't even allow her to visit them in Christmas and refused to take the Christmas gifts that she bought for them.
After splitting with Libby, Randy got married to Lydia Moss. Back in 2015, American football running back Kevin Faulk shared an image on Twitter with Randy and his wife, Lydia. As of now, the pair have been cherishing their married life with Randy's children. Randy also thanked his wife Lydia for her continuous love and support in 2018 Pro Football Hall of Fame induction ceremony.

EPFL Quartier Nord, SwissTech Convention Center
Situated at the northern entrance to the EPFL campus, the SwissTech Convention Center becomes a new landmark, a clearly identifiable reference point in the landscape. The metallic shell, closely following the internal spatial configuration of the optimised main auditorium, seems to float over the glazed facades that enclose both the auditorium and the foyer, allowing a maximum of daylight to penetrate the inner spaces. The auditorium is designed to accommodate up to 3,000 people, but just as importantly, it can be subdivided into alternative configurations to allow for a variety of smaller-scale events to take place simultaneously or in sequence. The optimisation of these spaces in their different arrangements, which guarantee impeccable sight lines and balanced distances from the different stage set-ups in each case, ultimately defined the building's form. The question of external cladding for the shell of the convention center was resolved through a typical process of research in terms of form and materiality, leading to the selection of elongated diamond-shaped tiles in anodised aluminium. A subtle variation in their depth reinforces the rich textural nature of the shell's surface. The maximum capacity of 3,000 seats in the auditorium is only required on a limited number of occasions per year. The possibility to subdivide this main space in order to create other spaces that are just as suitably proportioned and optimised was part of the brief from the outset. Moveable partitions allow the upper balcony as well as the area of the parterre below the balcony to be closed off. Hydraulic platforms and rotating seat mounts allow the auditorium to be transformed into a flat, multi-purpose room or banquet hall in a matter of minutes. The west facade of the main foyer is draped in 400 square metres of glazed panels, which include revolutionary dye-sensitized solar cells, developed by the Swiss chemist Michael Grätzel of the EPFL, to provide protection from the afternoon sun while generating 2,000 kilowatt hours of electricity annually. The artist Catherine Bolle worked with the technically possible colours to achieve Le Semainier.
EPFL Quartier Nord, Student Housing
On the eastern edge of the site, student housing and commercial and service areas provide a clear border on the public plaza. Extending to the south to include the Metro station, shops and restaurants are sheltered by a covered gallery with the hotel and student lodgings above. The large scale of the building is mediated through a series of articulations and variations in height of the different volumes that make up the complex. Only the central bodies of the building are carried up to level eight at the top. The outer facades clad in serigraphed glass and aluminium louvers maintain a clear dialogue with the convention center, the coloured window jambs anticipate the exuberance of the inner courtyard.
Commercial and service areas open directly onto the public plaza on level two. A 70-room hotel surrounds the south courtyard, and shared student apartments are reached through access galleries around the north courtyard on level four. On level six are shared apartments around the north courtyard, and studio apartments in the southeast wing of the building. Only three wings of student apartments are carried up to level eight.
The shared apartments are arranged around the access galleries. Semi-private living spaces in turn lead to the individual bedrooms, each with it's own private bathroom. All the bedrooms are located on the outer perimeter, with the living spaces opening directly onto the access galleries surrounding the courtyard. This interior courtyard elevation is entirely clad in individually hand painted, fibre-cement panels transformed by artist Catherine Bolle into : « Le Chromoscope ».
Studio apartments are arranged on both sides of the long interior north-south corridor running through the main wing of the building. To encourage social interaction among students, a variety of common spaces have been laid out at various points along this main internal thoroughfare. Double- or single-height spaces are closed off with brilliantly coloured glass panels, continuing the polychromatic theme of Catherine Bolle's Le Chromoscope surounding the courtyards in the access galleries.

These long running tasks are initiated from a website. Multiple users can login to the website and can initiate the task. But that much instances of long running task will be initiated. Is that an overhead to the machine? Will that cause any performance issues?
Thanks.
A: Your service would need to be able to handle the number of potential users - your InstanceContextMode is the biggest question for what the WCF service will handle and Concurrency. Are you a Singleton, or PerSession, PerCall , are your Concurrency - should be Multiple. These factors will affect the performance - bear in mind the max a singleton can handle is 500 Concurrent Connections.

VIVA LA TECH, RE:LOVE, SYSTEM RECORDINGS
DJING SINCE: 1986
What originally got you into House and Techno music?
I started DJing in middle school when I was 13. Originally I got into Hip-Hop and Freestyle music as those were the sounds of the time. As I got into high school I heard "French Kiss" by Lil' Louis and that was my introduction into house music. I couldn't get enough. I was really drawn into Hip-House that was coming out from Chicago. When I graduated in 1991 I went to my first underground rave events and quickly fell in love with the music and atmosphere. I was hooked.
Who are your influences for your DJing and Production?
Where I grew up, there were a lot of neighborhood DJ crews and they were a huge influence on me as I started to get more involved in DJing. One DJ in particular, DJ Omar, who I went to middle school with was one of the people that I truly looked up to as far as skills. Once I got involved in the LA Rave scene, DJ's like DJ Dan, Barry Weaver, Tony Largo, Ron D. Core, Steve Loria and others became the people that I looked up to as seasoned and qualified DJ's. Later I became really influenced by the UK jocks like Dave Clarke and Carl Cox just to name two.
Production wise my influences are all over the place. I would say my two biggest musical inspirations are The Cure and Prince. I relate them a lot in the same way, because as artists they tend to follow their own drum, try different things and keep you guessing while still retaining a certain "sound". I respect that quite a bit as that is very difficult to do.
For those just learning about you, describe your sound in 3 words.
To Defy Expectations
What does Viva La Tech mean to you?
When I started this back in 2009 I didn't know what Viva La Tech would become. At the time it was idea that I had with my friend David X. He helped grow the brand and I focused on the sound. VLT has shifted a bit since then but the core is still there. It is truly about the music and the vibe. That is how we will continue to push it along. VLT ultimately means quality music for underground heads.
Describe the Los Angeles House and Techno scene in your eyes.
For me, since I have been in it for almost 25 years now, I guess this like family. I feel very fortunate to be a part of something that I has grown and become nationally recognized. To be a part of it still is truly a blessing. Los Angeles is special. While House and Techno came from the Midwest, the rave scene in the states started in Los Angeles and we continue to have an amazing underground scene.

BkiUdS7xaKgTw5qkD3Be | Passed Time - Do You Recognize Me?
You are here: Home Articles Do You Recognize Me?
The photograph shown here serves as Passed Time's nod to our sixteenth president on his 207th birthday. Abraham Lincoln (February 12, 1809-April 14, 1865) has been impersonated by many in the years since his assassination. Of those, Daniel Day Lewis' portrayal of Lincoln in the film, Lincoln is probably one of the best known representations.
Regarding film portrayals of Lincoln, one blogger states the earliest movie about Lincoln was made in 1911 (she also suggests more in-depth research might uncover earlier movies).* According to the International Movie Database 327 movies have been made which include Lincoln as a character. Given their celebrity status, film actors are fairly easy to research. Finding historical impersonators who impersonated historical figures proves a trickier proposition for no impersonator data base exists. At least, I do not know of any such database.
Ben Chapin was the earliest known Lincoln impersonator. In the 1880's when he began his trade he evoked "revulsion from Lincoln's son Robert and awe from Mark Twain."** Others upheld the tradition and acted as Lincoln for plays, film, school events, and historical reenactments. As far as this photograph is concerned the only clues about who this impersonator and "Daddy Ford"might have been come from the photo and the box in which it was found.
I promised sometime last year that I would continue to picture the photographs found in the box with the Morrow family photographs.* I offer this group as a start. With the exception of the Morrow photographs, the rest in the box are either poorly labeled or completely unidentified. All of the photographs were randomly tossed into the box, making it difficult to find relationships between the photos. I have found, however, based on photograph size, type, aging, and a similar curl, that these photographs might belong to one another. The only exception is the above photograph, but I believe her to be the same woman in other pictures from this group.
Do You Recognize Me? Pigtails to Beautiful in Dover, Delaware?
For those following my Passed Time blog, In Their Own Words, you may have seen my recent addition about the Morrow Family of Smithton, Pennsylvania (Link). If so, you know that I found the five labeled Morrow family photographs in a box with about fifty unidentified photographs. The box was purchased in Dover, Delaware, where one of the Morrow family members lived. I am going to try to feed the unidentified photographs out on PT, in case there is a connection between the photographs. It would be a shame for that connection to be lost.
For those following my Passed Time blog, In Their Own Words, you know I am incredibly, painstakingly, slow. The little Nanuet autograph book has taken me over three months to post and I've barely grazed the surface. Please know this is not some devious, twisted scheme to drive readers crazy. Nor is it some ploy to ensure you have to come back regularly (even though honesty makes me admit to pleasure at the thought of you returning). Rather, my slowness can be attributed to, well, life. I will try my best to post them occassionally in the "Do You Recognize Me?" category.
The photos of "Pigtails to Beautiful" are not the first unidentified images from the "Morrow box" to make their way onto Passed Time. The Klapper cabinet card of the performing artist was also from this box. In fact, there are about six other Klapper (New York photographer) cabinet cards in the box which will be posted to PT. The subject in "Pigtails," however, is from a later period than the subjects in the Klapper cabinet cards.
These are the clues from the box that might help identify the subject of "Pigtails to Beautiful."* The first clue is the box was found in Dover, Delaware. The Morrow family photographs are also clues. Is she a descendant? Another prospective hint is a series of snapshots of a young family in about the 1940's. They include a picture of a man named "Don." One of the snapshots denotes Don at Rehoboth Beach in Delaware, and another of Don shows him in uniform. Does this woman fit with that family, perhaps? The last clue are the numbers on the one snapshot "1481" and "54." They do not mean anything to me, but perhaps someone else knows what they represent (a school picture, perhaps?).
*Pat, isn't she beautiful in pigtails? Absolutely. However, the one snapshot captured that lovely awkward stage most of us have endured and I didn't want to refer to her as "anonymous subject."
This 1910 photograph actually has a key penciled in on the back, giving some names. Unfortunately, it did not photograph well enough to upload and some of the names are difficult to make out, I will add those at a later date. Until then, maybe somebody recognizes this group?
The photograph is from the studio of Gilbert and Bacon, 1030 Chestnut Street in Philadelphia. William Frank Bacon (1846-1900) was a second generation photographer who first began learning the craft during the American Civil War. C.M. Gilbert retired from the company in 1886, leaving it in Bacon's capable hands. Bacon developed Bright's disease in the 1890's and gradually turned the studio over to his son, Frank Bacon.

Note: This is an update to a previously posted article. I am still having difficulty finding the identity of both the players and their team. The initials on the football and the one kid's sweater read "C.M." Searching Philadelphia's schools and football teams seemed the logical way to identify the photo's subjects, especially considering the photograph was taken in Philadelphia. No luck. I found pictures of old Jersey's to try to find the elusive C.M. No go.
Perhaps they were a subsidiary of a school, for instance, the University of Pennsylvania's Medical College? Uh-uh. I read a dissertation. No, I am not kidding. While doing the individual searches I came across a dissertation written by W. Curtis Miner in 1989. In Level Playing Fields: The Democratization of Amateur Sport in Pennsylvania, Miner provides a well-rounded, early history of football. I highly recommend it as a read but, there was no mention of C.M.
Can anyone identify or provide information about this photo?
This photo was purchased in a box lot in the vicinity of Allentown, Pennsylvania. There are no identifying markers. Courtesy of : Private Collection. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 4 | 3 |

BkiUfbg5qhDCyOQLSZZ7 | Large hydrogen project with thousands of solar panels
Gasunie subsidiaries EnergyStock and New Energy aim to convert sustainable electricity into green hydrogen for mobility and industry;
First power-to-gas installation of at least 1 MW in the Netherlands;
Underground gas storage Zuidwending ideal location thanks to buffer capacity and connection with main infrastructure;
Pilot project HyStock important step in scaling up power-to-gas technology.
Gasunie subsidiaries EnergyStock and New Energy aim to convert sustainable electricity into hydrogen at its Underground Gas Storage Zuidwending using approximately 5,000 solar panels. To this end, they are starting a pilot project (HyStock) with the aim of building a power-to-gas installation – the first such installation in the Netherlands with a capacity of 1 megawatt or more. The location is ideal because it offers the opportunity of future large-scale storage of hydrogen in salt caverns made especially for gas storage. Through this project, the Gasunie subsidiaries aim to further develop the market for green hydrogen. The definitive decision on the power-to-gas installation will be made this summer.
Hydrogen as energy carrier
EnergyStock and Gasunie New Energy are envisioning that the Underground Gas Storage at Zuidwending (in the province of Groningen) will be able to play an important role in ensuring a sustainable energy supply. "Storing sustainable electricity in large quantities is difficult," says Henk Abbing, Managing Director of EnergyStock. "An affordable battery that would be capable of doing this reliably on a large scale has yet to be invented. Hydrogen could offer a solution here, as sustainable energy in the form of hydrogen can be stored. Together with oxygen, hydrogen is the main component in water. You can separate these two components quite easily using sustainable power." Gasunie New Energy see the conversion of power-to-gas as a promising technology in which gas infrastructure can play a connecting role. In the future, green hydrogen will be an important clean fuel in a sustainable energy supply. Hydrogen can be used for mobility and transport for instance, as well as for industrial applications and electricity supply. With the HyStock pilot, EnergyStock and Gasunie New Energy aim to contribute to the further development of the market for green hydrogen.
From energy management to energy transition
As owner of the Underground Gas Storage, EnergyStock is implementing an energy management programme, with the aim of reducing its energy consumption and becoming more sustainable. One of the measures in the programme is to place solar panels on its site. "We then came up with the idea of using a part of the remaining space for a power-to-gas installation," says Abbing. "In the Netherlands, there are only a few initiatives that focus on converting green power into hydrogen. Our country is lagging behind in this regard compared to, say, Germany, where they are much more advanced in solar and wind power. But in the Netherlands, too, the share of renewable energy is growing. We aim to gain experience in the potential of this technology and figure out the technological challenges and opportunities for scaling it up in the future. The ambition of the North Netherlands region is to become a hydrogen economy. We have wind parks at sea, solar panels on land, and we'll soon be connected to the supply of sustainable electricity from Scandinavia and Germany. EnergyStock has storage space, we're connected to the high-voltage electricity grid and the main gas transport grid, we have knowledge about storage, and we wish to take our responsibility seriously in contributing to the energy transition. Together with Gasunie New Energy, we aim to ensure that all valuable sustainable energy can be used and will not be lost."
Power-to-gas installation
The solar panels will be placed on the earthen embankments around the installation. In addition, the parking areas of the installation will be covered by a solar roof. One megawatt of the power generated will be converted into hydrogen. For this purpose, three containers will be placed within the gates of the installation: one contains the electrolysis unit, the second the necessary electronics, and the third a compressor that fills the storage cylinders with hydrogen. The storage cylinders are mobile and can be transported to end-users (mobility and industry). The definitive decision on the power-to-gas installation will be made this summer.

BkiUezY5qhDCLLEX3YCk | There are a lot of places I want to be on a Sunday morning. Most of them involve sleeping but ... I have children. Mornings haven't been mine in a very long time. Thus, this Sunday morning required a trip to the mall so that Alexis could get an eye exam. Of course I drug Mila along for the ride because she exists to entertain me.
Alexis is old enough to handle appointments by herself now, you know. I mean, I could still go in the room with her and hold her hand while she reads the letters, but she doesn't need me to. I want my kids to know how to handle the routine-but-not things in life independently, so I spent Alexis' appointment looking at cat and dog videos with Mila out in the waiting area. I live in two worlds and all that.
While we were looking at ridiculously adorable kitten videos, it dawned on Mila that the Easter Bunny was in the building. She became OBSESSED with the notion of going to visit him and getting a photo. I love throwing away $25 on a photo I don't need, so why not? I half expected her to chicken out, but then she didn't, so somewhere in this house is a ridiculous photo of Mila sitting with the Easter Bunny and being really very happy about it.
Alexis was NOT happy about it. Alexis has maintained her contempt for the hoppy guy and she articulated every syllable of it to Mila prior to the photo. "You want a photo with THAT? But WHY?"
I think the part that bothered Alexis the most was that Mila is scared of Santa. Mila is not scared of the Easter Bunny. Alexis says you can look in Santa's eyes and determine if he's a psychopath. You NEVER KNOW if the bunny is a psychopath. He just might be.
He has to be, right?
I'm just saying, I don't totally disagree with Alexis. At least with Santa you can see what you're dealing with. That bunny, though. There's no telling.
I found out this week that my girlfriend is the Easter Bunny at our mall. So you might just discover that the Easter Bunny is a very nice lady bunny. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUe9fxK3YB9m3uxxnS | Making waves: Female round-the-world crew to fight ocean plastic
Published: - Jul 17, 2019
Environment Climate change Plastic pollution Women
The two-year all-female voyage will collect samples from some of the planet's most important and diverse marine environments to build a picture of the state of the seas
Reuters | Emma Batha
More than 300 women will join a round-the-world voyage launching in October to highlight the devastating impact of plastic pollution in the oceans and conduct scientific research into the escalating crisis.
Leer en español: Rompiendo las olas: equipo femenino lucha contra el plástico en el océano
Millions of tonnes of plastic - from food packaging to fashion fibres and fishing gear - enters the sea each year leading some marine experts to warn there could be more plastic than fish by 2050.
The two-year all-female voyage -organized by eXXpedition, a non-profit focusing on marine pollution - will collect samples from some of the planet's most important and diverse marine environments to build a picture of the state of the seas.
The 38,000 nautical mile trip will take in the Arctic, the Galapagos Islands, the South Pacific islands and central ocean areas where plastic accumulates because of circulating currents.
"One of the things that still gets me is when you are 1,000 miles from the nearest human being and then you see a toothbrush float past," mission director Emily Penn told the Thomson Reuters Foundation.
She said 8 million tonnes of plastic ended up in the sea every year where it broke down into tiny fragments, the same size as plankton.
These particles, along with plastic microbeads used in toiletries and other household products, can be ingested by marine life, harming ecosystems and the food chain.
"There's a misconception that there are islands of plastic out there that you can see, but it's more like a soup. It's fine fragments," said Penn.
"If it was an island we could clean it up, pack it all on to a boat and solve it, but (because) it's this soup ... you really can't extract it once it's in there."
Penn, who founded eXXpedition in 2014, said the solution was to "turn off the tap" on land and stop the plastic entering the sea in the first place.

The research will focus on working out what types of plastic are present and which industries they have come from in order to tailor solutions.
Scientists working closely with the University of Plymouth's International Marine Litter Research Unit will also research the impact of plastic on environmental, animal and human health.
Ten women from different disciplines and countries will join the 70-foot (21-meters) sailing boat S.V. TravelEdge for each stage of the 30-leg journey which leaves Britain on Oct. 7.
Participants include scientists, teachers, filmmakers, product designers, photographers and athletes among others.
They will stop on route to talk to schools and communities, record the type of waste washing up on beaches and conduct clean-ups.
"There's not one silver bullet solution. We need to be working from every sector, from every angle," Penn said.
"We need the design of new materials, we need policy change, we need education, we need the arts to be shifting mindsets, we need engineers. The only way we are going to solve it is by all working together."

BkiUcPnxK6-gDz87PBL7 | Liverpool make approach to land highly-coveted European forward | The Transfer Tavern | Where football transfer rumours fly or die!
Liverpool fans in the Transfer Tavern passing time with a game of dominoes and hoping for exciting news on the transfer front may have for exactly what they asked for, as it appears Jurgen Klopp is continuing to make advances.
The Daily Express, citing Italian publication Gazetta Dello Sport, state Liverpool have approached Champions League finalists Juventus to enquire about the services of Alvaro Morata- a player the Reds are prepared to pay £45m for.
Liverpool are struggling for firepower this season with Daniel Sturridge continuously absent through injury, whilst Christian Benteke has failed to spark life into the Reds attack following his mammoth £32.5m arrival from Aston Villa in the summer.
The Reds are therefore believed to be in the market for a top-class forward but approaches for Morata will fall upon deaf ears, as it's stated that Juventus are adamant they want to keep-hold of the Spanish forward.
Liverpool will also face competition in the market for Morata, should he become available, and the former Real Madrid striker will likely demand Champions League football that Liverpool can't offer him.
Our landlord believes this was a very ambitious approach from Liverpool and that they may have to lower their expectations, should they continue to scour the market.
Liverpool fans, how desperately do you need a top-class striker? Let us know in the comments below! | c4 | 4 | 1 | 4 | 1 |
BkiUbP04c3aisGQul5m9 | Sloučení neutronových hvězd je druh hvězdné srážky. Vyskytuje se v počtu podobném vzácnému druhu supernov typu Ia, které jsou výsledkem sloučení bílých trpaslíků.
Když se dvě neutronové hvězdy navzájem těsně obíhají, spirálovitě se v průběhu času přibližují v důsledku gravitačních vln. Když se obě neutronové hvězdy setkají, jejich sloučení vede ke vzniku buď masivnější neutronové hvězdy, nebo černé díry (v závislosti na tom, zda hmotnost zbytku překračuje Tolman–Oppenheimer–Volkoffovu mez). Sloučení může také během jedné nebo dvou milisekund vytvořit magnetické pole, které je bilionkrát silnější než pole Země. Předpokládá se, že tyto události vytvářejí krátké záblesky gama záření. Předpokládá se také, že tato sloučení produkují kilonovy, které jsou přechodnými zdroji poměrně izotropního elektromagnetického záření s delšími vlnami v důsledku radioaktivního rozpadu těžkých jader r-procesu, která jsou produkována a vymrštěna během procesu sloučení.
Pozorovaná sloučení
Dne 17. srpna 2017 detekovala spolupráce LIGO / Panna puls gravitačních vln s názvem GW170817, spojený se sloučením dvou neutronových hvězd v NGC 4993, eliptické galaxii v souhvězdí Hydry. GW170817 také vypadal, že souvisí s krátkým (≈ 2 sekundy dlouhým) zábleskem gama záření, GRB 170817A, poprvé detekovaným 1,7 sekundy po signálu sloučení GW, a pozorovací událost viditelného světla byla poprvé zaznamenána 11 hodin poté, SSS17a.
Spojení GW170817 s GRB 170817A v prostoru i čase je silným důkazem toho, že slučování neutronových hvězd vytváří krátké záblesky gama záření. Následná detekce události Swope Supernova Survey 2017a (SSS17a) v oblasti, ve které je známo, že došlo k GW170817 a GRB 170817A, a její očekávané vlastnosti pro kilonovu jsou silným důkazem toho, že sloučení neutronových hvězd produkují kilonovy.
V říjnu 2018 astronomové uvedli, že GRB 150101B, událost gama záblesku detekovaná v roce 2015, může přímo souviset s historickou událostí GW170817, událostí gravitačních vln detekovanou v roce 2017, a spojenou se sloučením dvou neutronových hvězd. Podobnosti mezi těmito dvěma událostmi, pokud jde o emise gama záření, optické a rentgenové záření, jakož i povaha přidružených hostitelských galaxií, jsou nápadné, což naznačuje, že tyto dvě oddělené události mohou být výsledkem sloučení neutronových hvězd a obojí může být kilonova, což může být podle vědců ve vesmíru častější, než se dosud předpokládalo.
V říjnu 2018 také vědci představili nový způsob, jak využít informace z událostí gravitačních vln (zejména těch, které zahrnují sloučení neutronových hvězd, jako je GW170817) ke stanovení Hubblovy konstanty, což je zásadní pro stanovení rychlosti rozpínání vesmíru. Dvě dřívější metody, jedna založená na rudých posunech a druhá založená na žebříčku kosmických vzdáleností, poskytly výsledky, které nesouhlasí.
V dubnu 2019 observatoře gravitačních vln LIGO a Panna oznámily detekci kandidátské události, což je s pravděpodobností 99,94 % sloučení dvou neutronových hvězd. Přes rozsáhlá následná pozorování nebylo možné identifikovat žádný elektromagnetický protějšek.
V únoru 2018 zařízení Zwicky Transient Facility začalo sledovat události neutronových hvězd pomocí pozorování gravitačních vln, o čemž svědčí "systematické vzorky událostí přílivu a odlivu".
XT2 (magnetar)
V roce 2019 analýza dat z rentgenové observatoře Chandra odhalila další sloučení neutronové dvojhvězdy ve vzdálenosti 6,6 miliardy světelných let, rentgenový signál zvaný XT2. Spojením vznikl magnetar; jeho emise mohly být detekovány několik hodin.

Albertina Sisulu Executive Leadership Programme in Health
"The programme made me a thinker, to question WHY things happen, be innovative, and scientific in my approach. It brought the concept of an integrated approach home and the understanding of the South African Health System." (Fellow)
"Through ASELPH I gained sound understanding of the evolving South African health care system and I am equipped with the skills and competencies necessary to make decisions based on sound evidence that responds to the health care service needs." (Fellow)
"I have become a better person in terms of understanding the South African Health System and have been able to identify my role in the District Health Services. The program has strengthened my belief that DHS is the engine of the South African Health System and failure to resource it properly will result in the collapse of health services in the country. It has created a different network of people for me to interact with whom I would not have known." (Fellow)
ASELPH aims to improve crucial components of South Africa's health care system. This includes both increasing its capacity to deliver high-quality, cost-efficient services, and, to strengthen and elevate executive level training for future generations of health leaders. Designed to contribute to the goals of the Health Minister's Health Management Development Plan for South Africa, ASELPH is focused on training provincial and district managers responsible for implementing strategic priorities, including the National Health Insurance initiative, the re-engineering of Primary Health Care and the National Comprehensive Plan for HIV, STIs and TB.
What differentiates ASELPH from other programmes?
Public administration and health leadership programs are everywhere. The ASELPH approach is unique in this crowded terrain and offers healthcare managers a unique opportunity to develop their leadership competencies, link them to a community of health leaders and experts and also help build the skills to deliver health policy effectively.
Students engage with South African health policy issues through Harvard's case-based model of teaching. Cases are inspired by common challenges experienced by managers in the South African healthcare system.
Educational Delivery
Education is delivered through a blended model that makes use of e-learning strategies to reduce in-class time and flipped classroom sessions to make in-class time more efficient
Harvard T.H. School of Public Health
ASELPH delivers classes that were co-designed by Harvard professors. Harvard also participated in specific e-learning modules and is involved in policy research and seminars, mentoring of faculty and the case design processes.
Critical health policy engagement
There is also a practical policy component to the program. ASELPH helps to build consensus around key health policy issues by bringing global experts, policy makers, and health system managers together.
Close alignment with National Department of Health priorities
The South African NDOH has been involved in the design, implementation and ongoing management of ASELPH. The cases and courses are delivered with the intention to further national health policy objectives.
Access to ASELPH's alumni network
ASELPH has built a community of practice. Over 300 health managers have been trained through ASELPH, 65% of which are in senior leadership positions and represent all 9 provinces. Fellows have access to mentorship opportunities and also gain a collective experience which managers draw from once they are back in the field.
ASELPH Approach
Rigorous recruitment of emergent and existing leaders in health
Develop a critical mass of knowledge, skills and competencies in health management
Create academic centers of excellence health care management
Contribute to research in health policy
Policy Goal
Organize policy seminars that examine and improve national implementation plans
Engage with Department of Health on strategic polices to incorporate into ASELPH instruction
The goal is to create a community of practice that will lead health system transformation in South Africa through improved analysis, decision-making, implementation and stewardship
Transforming South Africa's Health System
After years of undemocratic rule, Sauth Africa's developmental agenda, is by implication, "transformational". It strives to undo the racial legacies of the past and forge a more free and fair society in which all people are given the opportunities to realize their full capabilities and ambitions. Disparities in health (and other basic welfares) are rooted in these historical legacies. The path to improving healthcare in South Africa must be viewed in this broad, and challenging, developmental space.
Today in South Africa, healthcare is a human right guaranteed by the Constitution. The Department of Health has developed The National Health Insurance (NHI) plan to provide financing to make sure that all citizens of South Africa receive essential healthcare and access to good quality healthcare. Achieving these goals requires skilled and committed health co re managers and leaders in the provinces and districts to drive thishealth system transformation where care is delivered. Faced with daunting human resource challenges, there is limited capacity to implement policies, insufficient innovation, and a shortfall in executive leadership.
ASELPH approaches health system reform from this historical standpoint. By harnessing the resources of academia and experts in public health, ASELPH is an academic approach to a developmental problem that broadly aims to strengthen the health system through building competent and effective public health institutions.
Since its inception in 2013, more than 300 health care managers have participated in the ASELPH programme at the University of Fort Hare and the University of Pretoria
134 ASELPH Fellows have graduated with a Post Graduate Diploma in Health Systems Management – Executive Leadership from the University of Pretoria
27 ASELPH Fellows have graduated with a Masters of Public Health from the University of Fort Hare
ASELPH Fellows represent all 9 provinces and 52 of the 54 health districts nationwide
"ASELPH marks a milestone in the development of human resources capacity and is highly significant for the overall performance of the national health system"

BkiUfQHxaKgQWseFxNfI | A free presentation titled "Galactic Cannibals" will be given at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday 20 November in 100 Thomas Building on the Penn State University Park Campus by Christopher Palma, a lecturer and outreach fellow in the Eberly College of Science Department of Astronomy and Astrophysics. This event is part of the 2003-2004 Friedman Public Lecture Series in Astronomy.
Palma will present the latest images of galaxies eating other galaxies from the Hubble Space Telescope and ground-based telescopes, including proof that our own Milky Way Galaxy is chewing up its nearest neighbors. "When two galaxies collide, many of the billions of stars in each galaxy get flung out into space, forming brilliant streamers or tails," Palma says. He adds, "the Hubble Space Telescope has captured beautiful images of some famous galactic cannibals, including the Antennae, the Mice and Centaurus A, the quasar nearest to Earth. Palma's group has also studied cases where several members of a group of galaxies, such as Stephan's Quintet, participate in a "galactic feeding frenzy."
In many ways, astronomers find it is harder to study our own Milky Way Galaxy than to observe galaxies millions of light years away because we are embedded in a sea of nearby stars that screen us from observing the overall extent of our Galactic home. "It's like trying to see the distant headlights from oncoming cars in a thick fog," explains Palma. Nevertheless, Palma and his colleagues have used a few clever techniques for clearing up the foreground fog, which have revealed that the Milky Way is almost finished consuming a small galaxy that recently was discovered in the constellation Sagittarius.
Palma, who is a Penn State alumnus, returned to campus in 2001 after completing a Ph.D. in Astronomy at the University of Virginia. He is currently a lecturer in the Department of Astronomy and Astrophysics, and he is the first person to hold the title of "Outreach Fellow" in the Eberly College of Science. Palma spends much of his time giving astronomy presentations to students from kindergarten through 12th grade, working with science teachers during workshops, presenting planetarium shows, and assisting visitors with stargazing from Penn State's rooftop observatory on Davey Laboratory. He has been a guest astronomy expert on a radio talk show in Virginia, and his research has been featured on CNN.com and on the Astronomy Picture of the Day website. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 1 |

BkiUd-o4dbghe2kmY5cB | What is it about coaching that brings out your passion?
What are 3 values or concepts you orient your coaching around?
Do you orient your life around the same values?
JUMP START YOUR COACHING CAREER!
Becoming a coach involves learning more than a new skill set. Building a sustainable practice involves tapping into previously unknown or unused skills/talents. Unanticipated bends in the road may challenge your commitment to have a coaching practice -- there is often a steep learning curve to being a coach and building a practice.
Work with an experienced Coach who understands what you're facing and who has over 12 solid years experience as a clinical supervisor at a University Psychology Department. My passion has long been the development of individuals who work within the human potential field. I've trained doctoral level therapists and social workers in the art of listening, and I've mentored sales & marketing professionals, MBAs & business leaders in becoming a coach.
In order to coach, nothing can be in the way of the listening. This means that you can't close the door to your own experience & struggles if you're wanting to be a coach and develop a coaching practice. This is both a great opportunity for growth & a tremendous challenge!
Becoming a coach involves applying the same concepts that we use with our clients into our own lives. In other words, as important it is for our clients to create a space where they consistently give voice to what's usually left unsaid or unexamined so too in our own lives. The voices that we silence need a space to be heard. With self-expression, comes power & freedom -- making us stronger coaches. In addition, it's only through communication that we really hear ourselves. Coaching provides the space do ALL of this. Coaching provides the platform and the space to look at where you are, what it is you want, and whatever's getting in the way of you being there.
Call me if you're interested in talking. Let's see if we're a match. If we're not, I'll do my best to connect you with a coach who would more perfectly suit you. Catapult your coaching practice by staying ahead of the curve.
Ask me about my fees for coaches just starting out. This is how I give back to the community. Space limited. | c4 | 4 | 3 | 4 | 2 |

BkiUbDbxaJJQnHaRvipG | Introducing Minnie Driver English Living for One Kings Lane
Filed Under: CelebrityTastemakers
For English actress Minnie Driver, two things in her life helped cultivate her passion for design: her mother's career as a decorator, and the trips she took with her family all over the world. "From a young age, there was always an awareness of design and being in different cultures and incorporating that into our very English home," she says. It's this eclectic yet British aesthetic—along with her love of prints, color, and the laid-back lifestyle of her current home in California—that inspired our new and exclusive collection of furnishings with the actress.
"I've always had a very specific idea of what I love and the spaces I love to live in," Minnie says. "I'm not scared of print and mixing in unexpected color combinations. But I've never been able to get away from English style and loving well-made furniture." Featuring three custom, hand-drawn prints in a bold yet classic palette, the designs—available as pillows, armchairs, headboards, and more—are meant to be mixed and matched to fit any space.
Below, read more from Minnie on her influences and tips for decorating with the designs, then shop the collection to bring the traveled, elegant look to your home.
Shop Minnie Driver English Living for One Kings Lane →
All the prints from the collection were originally hand-drawn and are inspired by Indian block prints and English floral designs. Top row, from left to right: Desert Flower in lapis/coral, Agave Stripe in indigo, Desert Flower in spring green, Agave Stripe in berry. Bottom row, from left to right: Mariposa in peach and Mariposa in lapis.
The Fine Prints
Colorful printed textiles are at the heart of Minnie's design sensibilities. The dining room of her L.A. home, which she decorated with fellow Brit and pattern aficionado Peter Dunham, features chairs whose seats, backs, and fronts are upholstered in a variety of vintage fabrics. "They're all very different, but together they create this eclectic elegance, which is what best describes my home," she says. "It's not loud, but expansive. It's a real mixture of traditional with global and very unfussy." The same can be said of the three prints in this collection, which are inspired by a number of far-flung influences.
The Mariposa print takes its cues from graphic Indian block prints and delicate floral Provençal patterns. "It's a small print, but it has a really big feel to it," Minnie says. "It's a good example of how you can use a traditional Indian technique but offer up something that conjures the South of France. That's where my design instincts lie. It's an elegant mash-up."
The Agave Stripe pays tribute to the desert plant while pairing it with a classic French stripe. "There's whimsy but also structure," she says. "It has strong boundaries on the outside but a hand-drawn quality to it as well. I'm mad about that."
The Desert Flower print is also inspired by a mix of cultures. "It could be a Turkish or Indian motif," Minnie says. "But the way it's arranged is very classic and British and speaks to a version of chintz. It's a good marriage of global and English tradition."
The Mariposa print, shown here as a skirted storage ottoman in lapis, is a favorite of Minnie's.
The larger scale of the Desert Flower print in lapis/coral on an accent chair pairs perfectly with the petite dots of the Mariposa skirted storage ottoman.
The Agave Stripe, seen here as a club chair and paired with the Mariposa pillow in peach, is a whimsical print with classic structure.
Minnie's Tips for Bringing it Home
Start small. "A lot of people are wary of print. And they're wary of putting prints together. My advice would be to start with small pieces," Minnie says. Try a pillow on a sofa, or see how the sofa looks paired with a patterned chair. If you love it, you can always add more pattern.
Mix and match. Not everything needs to be perfectly coordinating. "The notion of being brave with color and knowing things don't have to match is really good," Minnie says.
Pair with stripes. "I love mixing stripes with pattern," Minnie says. It's a move that combines the tradition of English design with the vibrancy of global textiles.
Contrast with a neutral. "I love having a more neutral wall and filling in the furniture, cushions, accents, and art to add color," she says. In a bedroom, she suggests dressing up an all-white bed with a patterned headboard as an accent.
Consider the color wheel. If you want to use bright colors but worry about how they'll sit with each other, take a look at where they sit on the color wheel. "I'm a big fan of the lapis-and-coral combination," Minnie says. "Red and blue are opposite each other on the color wheel. I have a lot of that in my own home."
For the pattern wary, Minnie recommends starting small with a pillow.

BkiUa_I5qdmB61-1YHHS | Burra Foods will export its new product, Pure Source, to Taiwan.
GIPPSLAND-BASED DAIRY processor Burra Foods has launched its first retail product, Pure Source Milk, which it will export to Taiwan, backed by an integrated marketing campaign heavily focused around Gippsland's 'pristine' farming environment.
Burra's Evan Scicluna said Pure Source is part of a strategy to drive maximum value from fresh farm gate milk in international markets.
The one-litre Australian fresh milk packs will initially be exported to Taiwan with a strong focus on regional provenance back to the Gippsland dairy farming families that supply the high quality milk, he said.
Each pack contains a Farm Finder QR code that tells the story and provides key information on the farms that supply Burra Foods.
"Taiwanese consumers drink over 15 million litres of premium imported fresh milk every year," Mr Scicluna said.
"Quality and traceability is of the utmost importance to Asian dairy consumers.

BkiUfVzxK7IAHL_U9yzC | Dreamcast Games you play Online: ?
I was also having trouble getting my Dreamcast to boot Volgarr. So I added a large dummy file to the Volagrr cdi to push the data out so that the Dreamcast can read it easier.
If you are having trouble getting your Dreamcast to boot Volgarr then download my cdi of it below.
Here is the Volgarr the Viking cdi with the dummy file added so that it works for those of you that are having trouble booting it.
Download the file, unzip it, and then burn using the software program of your choice. I used Disc Juggler to burn mine but you can use imgBurn, Bootdreams, Alcohol 120, or any other Dreamcast cdi burning software.
Any problems let me know. I played the first level and everything worked. I own the game on Steam and I didn't notice any difference.
Zipped file is ~37 MB, unzipped volgarrbig.cdi is ~771.9 MB.
Burn it on a regular 700 MB CD and it will work. Almost all Dreamcast cdi games are over 700 MB. The extra #MB of data isn't burned to the CD but it's a map/blueprint for the program burning it, it's telling it how to place the data on the CD.
I used Isobuster to extract the three files in the original cdi. I then used Bootdreams to add the dummy file and rebuild the cdi.

Thanks! My Dreamcast also does not like small images, like an old version of Dreamshell SD loader was 10 mb's and would not boot... Thanks!
Thank you ejm. I'm trying this file now.
Thanks EJM. Just tested it and works fine. Völgarr port is great, thanks to everyone envolved!
Volgarr is a great example of what game genre developers should release on dreamcast.
The dc community loves any development projects and we are all grateful for completed works.
I for one feel that we have had way too many indie shmup games released for dc.
I am not bashing shmup games, I just like seeing a bit of diversity with indie dc games.
Thanks for this excellent game.

Yes! And most important thing i guess as it was mentioned before but i repeat is save option! You finished world - it saves to vmu and next time you start playing you can choose a world.

BkiUdffxK7kjXLSrFrfE | The Woman who wrote book on domestic violence – stabbed to death by boyfriend
Odince Goodwill
A woman in North Carolina who wrote a book about domestic violence has allegedly been fatally stabbed by her boyfriend.
Police have arrested Isaih Henderson III, the boyfriend of Aliyah Terry, who was found stabbed to death inside her home in the city of Charlotte on 2 July.
Detectives allege the mother-of-two was killed by Mr Henderson – with investigators saying the believe the murder was domestic violence-related.
Police say they were called to Terry's home after an argument between her and Mr Henderson, but by the time officers had arrived, Henderson had fled, before later returning.
Officers were again called to the scene, shortly before 2am, where they found Terry who had been stabbed. The 35-year-old was taken to the hospital where she was pronounced dead.
Henderson, 32, turned himself in to police and has been charged with Terry's murder.
According to WBTV, phone records of 911 calls show 19 calls made from the address in the past year. Of those, three related to domestic violence, and another related to alleged assault with a deadly weapon.
However, there were no domestic violence protective order records from court, meaning charges were not pressed each time the police came out for an issue.
Terry is the co-author of a book about domestic violence called The Queen Xperience which is currently available for pre-order on Amazon but comes out on 4 August. She recalled her experiences with domestic violence in the book.
Nakita Davis, the book's publisher, said Terry had hoped her story would inspire abused women. She said half of pre-order sales would go into a fund for Terry's children.
She was a beautiful person inside and out, kept a beautiful smile," Ms Davis told WSOC-TV.
"I want women to walk away knowing there is help," she said of the book.
Rachel Brummert, her neighbour, is a domestic violence survivor who now works to tackle the issue.
"It's shocking," she said. "Somebody heard something. Somebody called the police. Someone was concerned enough to look after her. To hear that he came back later is shocking. It's sad beyond belief, and I hope she gets justice."
In America, a woman is killed by a current or former intimate partner with a gun every 16 hours.

BkiUdrU4dbghZEB7VDcZ | There are many ways that hiring managers can approach interviews. One of the most common formats you'll face is the behavioral interview. In this kind of interview, questions are asked about your experiences in certain situations, both real and hypothetical, to assess your competencies and personality. Behavioral interview questions are all about getting the candidate to show, rather than just tell, an employer that they are a good fit for a position.
Tell me about a time when you had to solve a problem in a short amount of time.
Give me an example of a time when you disagreed with your leadership.
What was a professional mistake you have made and what did you learn from it?
Tell me about a time when you had to use negotiation to achieve a desired outcome.
While the questions might sound easy, providing a coherent answer can be challenging in the heat of the moment. That's where the STAR method comes in. STAR stands for Situation, Task, Action, Result, and it is a great blueprint for structuring your answers during a behavioral interview.
S – Situation: Describe the context of your story.
T – Task: Explain what was required of you.
A – Action: Tell what steps you took.
R – Result Describe what happened as a result of your actions.
Because these types of questions call for in-depth answers, spend a good amount of time before interviews coming up with responses that you might use. Ericka Spradley, President of My Next Level Career Consulting, suggests carefully reviewing the job posting to identify the skills needed for the role and preparing examples that demonstrate your proficiency in those skills. She recommends writing these examples down, and even recording of filming yourself reciting the STAR responses.
The more preparation you do, the more confident you will be in your answers. "Be positive about your actions throughout your response," James Rice of WikiJob suggests, "and do not make up an example as you will not come across as believable." If you cannot think of a good situation to use on the spot, ask your interviewer for a little time to think of a well-structured answer that will demonstrate your competencies and skill.
A jobseeker that goes into an interview armed with a few strong examples and structures their answers using the STAR method will shine in these kinds of interviews. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 2 |

BkiUe205qhLBgmacwLPb | Recently I paid a visit to my alma mater, Indiana University, to celebrate the life of the Grand Dame of swimming, Marge Counsilman. The passing of Marge put a finality to the team of Doc and Marge, who collectively changed our sport of swimming for the better. A large group of an older generation of swimmers that had benefited from Doc and Marge's influence throughout his career assembled to pay the Counsilman family final respects and appreciation. It was a memorable weekend, indeed.
While there, at the invitation of Head Coach, Ray Looze and his assistant, Mike Westphal, I took the opportunity to observe the IU swim team training at the Counsilman/Billingsley Aquatic Center. I was particularly anxious to observe the newly appointed Head Sprint Coach, Coley Stickles, and his assistant, Mark Hill, in action. Coley is known as a creative, think-outside-the-box coach and Mark has learned from one of the best coaches in the world, Mike Bottom. They both could bring a lot to the table, and I was curious to see how their different approach would mix with the more traditional aerobic training of Coach Looze. I was not disappointed.
The sprinters and middle distance swimmers spent the first hour and a half of practice dedicated to a series of dryland exercises that Coley and Mark ran inside the natatorium. The entire session took place in the bleachers and the narrow concrete walkway at the top, not in some fancy modern exercise room nor fitness center. The total financial investment in all of the equipment used for this extraordinary session could be measured in hundreds of dollars, not thousands. Chin up bars, climbing ropes, med balls and a few other inexpensive devices completed the list.
What was most impressive to me about the session was not the relentless series of exercises, nor how much was accomplished with so little equipment, but more about how the exercises were done. Coley had designed the session around a strategic combination of strength, agility and quick movements, often with swimmers paired for both physical and moral support. There were never any exercises that sought a maximum number of repetitions at a given station, but rather one single well-executed exercise followed by a different one, followed by some quick motions requiring skills in coordination and strength, then on to another one. Between sets, rest intervals were short. This varied assortment of exercises was particularly focused on working the arms, upper body and core, but in such a way that one group of muscles was never overly taxed or fatigued during any given exercise.
While extremely challenging, this dry land session was anything but boring or traditional. From the expression on the faces of the swimmers that somehow seemed to be enjoying this arduous and complex workout, one could hardly consider it to be torture. The swimmers bought in and could sense the benefits that these unusual sessions could bring.
Near the end, Coach Looze asked me to say a few words to the entire team. I spoke briefly of the rich swimming heritage of Indiana University, thanks to Doc and Marge, but I probably didn't need to. There were plenty of big photos on the walls to remind them of that. What was more important is that I assured them that Indiana University is well on its way to becoming a powerhouse of swimming again.
Winning the NCAA Swimming Championships is not easy at any level. You must have a diverse team of coaches, trainers and experts, among other staff, who carefully play by the rules. It demands recruiting and landing talented swimmers that mesh together. It relies on having sprinters. Then it requires building the environment and culture of success around those swimmers and getting them ready for the task. Winning is more challenging today than ever before.
For Indiana University, time will tell if I am right. I believe that this diverse group of coaches of Looze, Stickles, Westphal, and Hill may be the finest assembled in the swimming world today. It has been a long time waiting, but I look forward to the ride.
Yes…and while Doc was great at designing and developing higher technology dryland equipment, we were short on utilization in a structured or organized way. Just look at the photos of us in those days…not much muscle.
Interesting photo of Young Gary in the large photo on the wall in the background juxtaposed with the present Gary in the foreground.
Yes..great coaches listen to and learn from their swimmers. Doc was no exception.

BkiUa9c5qsFAftmvMuNX | Moving can be stressful — as we know!! Soon you'll all get a close up look at the new KCA digs. But until then, we're getting things perfect for classes.
On stressful days a little comfort food is in order. There's nothing like sitting around and enjoying some chips and salsa, or bean dip, or pico de gallo, or whatever concoction comes to mind.
Normally the focus is on the dip; I mean a chip's a chip, right? Sometimes the difference in an ordinary thing is the care we give when making it.
Today, let's focus on making the chips special.
We're turning to Katie Goodman of Craftzine.com, a fellow chips and salsa aficionado, to get this special, not too difficult recipe.
As always, start by preheating the oven to 425 degrees. Stack four to five corn tortillas together on a cutting board. Cut the tortillas into eight triangles. You don't have to do this stacked, but it does save time. Repeat until all the tortillas are cut.
Then, pour about 1 tablespoon of olive oil on a backing sheet. Using a paper towel spread the oil all over the pan, evenly coating it. Lightly spray the tops of the tortillas with olive oil. Without a spray, you can use a brush to add just a little on the top side.
Juice half a lime in a small bowl. Using a silicone pastry brush, dip and lightly brush the chips with a small amount of lime juice. How much lime juice you add can change the flavor. The idea is to have a hint of lime, but if you love lime, go crazy. Although, stay away from soaking the tortillas. You may think you like lime, but if that's all you taste it may not be a good thing!
Lastly, sprinkle the chips with salt and cumin to taste. Then, place the baking sheet in the oven for five minutes. Remove the tray and use tongs to flip the chips over. Then bake for another three to five minutes, or to your desired crispness.
Top or dip the chips with whatever makes your taste buds salivate. Plus, it's a great addition to any football party — it is Sunday!
Tortilla chips are an interesting snack. First mass-produced in Los Angeles in the 1940s, they are often considered to be a Mexican food.
Rebecca Webb Carranza was the brainchild behind the triangular edible dipping instrument when she needed a way to use misshapen tortillas rejected from the automated manufacturing machine. Rebecca and her husband ran a Mexican deli and tortilla factory. As any business owner knows, tossing a product means a loss in money. Rebecca cut the tortillas into triangles, fried them and began a popular snack revolution selling the bags for a dime a bag.
In 1994, she received the Golden Tortilla award for her contribution to the Mexican food industry. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

BkiUbn45qsMAIwCl77sz | Q: Windows 8: .phar files, how do you want to open I'm trying to run composer on windows with wamp. I installed composer using the cmd prompt, and now I'm trying to run "composer update" for an SDK. However, when I type in "composer.phar update," windows asks what app I want to use to run this program. I want the command prompt to deal with it! How do I just run it through cmd, without this "what app" window coming up?
A: .phar stands for PHP Archive
Usually .phars take some arguments, so they are intended to be run from command prompt. Linux/BSD/OS X shell or Windows command prompt.
Linux .phar use case scenarios assume .phars are copied to some /bin and renamed to be without .phar extension, so you can use a php archive as if you would use any other linux command. So I recommend following way of doing the same thing with Windows:
*
*Put all your .phar files to one directory like C:\php\phars
*Add C:\php\phars to system environment variables (right-click my Computer -> Properties -> Advanced System Settings -> Environment variables)
*Start the elevated command prompt (find command prompt in start menu then right-click and select Run as Administrator)
*Type the following commands, replacing the path C:\phpdev\php\php542\php.exe with full path to your PHP executable:
ftype PHARFile=C:\phpdev\php\php542\php.exe "%1" %*
assoc .phar=PHARFile
set PATHEXT=%PATHEXT%;.PHAR
Next time your should be able just to run Windows console (keyboard Win+R and type cmd.exe) and type any of your .phar's like apigen.phar followed by any command and it will work
C:\Users\acosonic>apigen.phar help
Usage:
...
Arguments:
command The command to execute
command_name The command name (default: "help")

The help command displays help for a given command:

So this way lets you run .phar archives in a directory where you need to work, for example generating documentation in C:\myproject\controller without specifying full path to .phar as if you would if it's run without adding it to Windows path.
To explain what commands in step 4 did:
*
*Created mapping HKCR.phar → HKCR\PHARFile
*Created HKCR\PHARFile\shell\open\command = 'php.exe "%1" %*' [REG_EXPAND_SZ]
*Extended HKCU\Environment\PATHEXT = '%PATHEXT%;.PHAR' [REG_EXPAND_SZ]
*.phar gets treated like binary/script, and *.phar execution works as long as a *.phar file is located anywhere in %PATH%.
A: One can wrap php *.phar with *.bat, then the filename will be the name of the CLI command:
@ECHO OFF
php "C:/Program Files/PHAR/phpDocumentor.phar" %*
One can also use such a wrap to pass along default arguments; eg. wp.bat:
@ECHO OFF
php "C:/Program Files/PHAR/wp-cli.phar" --path="D:/SDK/wordpress" %*
Where pattern %* will capture and forward CLI arguments, as it is supposed to.
Alike this one can run phar alike any other CLI command, in a terminal window.
A: You have to set php.exe as your default application for phar files.
A: Keep it simple. Instead of changing .phar's default program, which is not always easy in Windows, try just typing "php" in front of your command.

BkiUdng4uzlhfiRYFXs_ | An active playground can give many benefits to both children and schools.
Creating a positive environment where children get the opportunity to be active on their lunchtime and breaks allows a school to reap the benefits and allows children to increase confidence, whilst creating healthy habits for the future.
Creating an active playground starts with assessing what children enjoy doing and how you can incorporate that into their lunchtime sessions. Planning sessions and activities will allow children to get the most out of the activities and will increase how successful they are.
An important factor to take into consideration when making a playground active is to ensure the activities are inclusive and allow children of all abilities to get involved. This will mean that more children can take part, which means that they get to have fun whilst learning new skills.
Stesp2Sports qualified teams can provide playground activities during lunchtime, with structured activities. These will increase pupil's participation by offering a variety of activities, whilst giving every child the same opportunity. Our activities inspire and engage children to be more active, which also helps them to meet the guidelines 60 minutes of physical activities per day.
Proactive use of lunchtime can help to increase children's activity levels and make the school experience more positive. By using this time efficiently, children can have fun on their lunchtime whilst getting active. This also allows them to burn off some energy, ready to tackle lessons in the afternoon. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUe6E4uzkg4BCDZ71k | Tips for Installing an Electric Fence | All Around Fence Co. Inc.
Whether you live on a farm or in the suburbs, electric fences are very handy at helping to keep our animals on our property. Some defer to experts when getting them installed, but some decide to try and do it themselves. If you are the latter, here are some tips for installing your electric fence.
Handling the installation on your own means you won't have expert help on-site, but it isn't a bad idea to pick an expert's brain for any tips they could give you. After all, the more you know before, the easier it's potentially going to be during the project.
When it comes to your fence, do not alter the design or substitute parts. Even though you may think this would be harmless, it can end up damaging your system and voiding any warranty you may have on it. Keep with the original parts and plans and you won't run into any trouble.
It is never OK to hook up mixed metal wiring to a copper component. Keep your system to one metal only. Combining different components can lead to electrolysis, which causes parts to corrode and your systems shocking strength to be weaker than normal.
This goes for both your wires and fence posts. Make sure your fence posts are no less than 50 feet apart and the wires to be at least 5 feet apart. Any closer and the fence won't work like it is supposed to or if an animal runs into the wire, it could result in broken insulators or knocked-over posts.
No matter what you do, don't remove the caution sign from your electrical fence. They can be very hard to see at night and even sometimes during the day. Leaving the sign on the fence will help keep you and anyone else who stumbles across your fence from getting an unwanted shock.
All Around Fence offers a full range of fencing supplies as well as residential and commercial fence installation in Uniontown, Pennsylvania, and the surrounding areas. For more information or to discuss your fencing needs, call us today at 724-439-0331 or toll-free at 800-349-0331. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 4 | 1 |
BkiUdajxaKPQotSMw-bL | Q: Google spreadsheet function to match, copy, delete and paste into new sheet I want to find and match cell F2 with range A2:A8.
If F2 is found in between the range A2:A8 then copy the matching rows to sheet2 and delete the entire row from sheet1. There should be no overlapping while pasting the data in sheet2.
A: I'm not a good developer in Google Apps Script, but I've created a function which I hope will help you.
In your spreadsheet you should go to Tools > Script Editor.... Insert this code:
function test() {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var sheetOne = ss.getSheetByName("Sheet1");
var sheetTwo = ss.getSheetByName("Sheet2");
var sheetThree = ss.getSheetByName("Sheet3");
var data = sheetOne.getDataRange().getValues();
var columnCount = data[0].length
var firstCol = sheetOne.getRange("A2:A8");
var matchValue = sheetThree.getRange("F2").getValue();
var j = sheetTwo.getLastRow() + 1;
for (var i = 0; i < firstCol.getValues().length; ++i) {
if (firstCol.getValues()[i][0] === matchValue) {
sheetOne.getRange(i+2,1,1,columnCount).copyTo(sheetTwo.getRange(j,1,1,columnCount));
sheetOne.deleteRow(i+2);
i = i - 1;
j = j + 1;
}
}
}
Then select your function:
And click the Run button:
Maybe there's a better way to run the function, but I simply don't know it. :) Hope you'll be able to manipulate this code.

BkiUc0s4dbgg1iRCUPuj | Letters from the issue of Thursday, March 6, 2008
March 6, 2008 4:00AM
ONLINE ANDY
Mr. Pitiful: This is an incredible story of arrogance by a public official ("The (Auto)biography of Andrew P. Thomas," Sarah Fenske, February 28). Imagine this little weasel sitting up late at night propagandizing his Wikipedia entry! At around the same time as the arrests of the New Times executives!
Here, [County Attorney] Thomas is the laughingstock of the entire country ("Who's Sorry Now?" Stephen Lemons, October 25), and he's attempting to erase any record of that, along with lots of other embarrassing stuff, from a Web site that's read by millions. This says more about the dishonesty of this martinet than anything I've read.
There are so many reasons why Andrew P. Thomas should follow his mentor, Joe Arpaio, into oblivion. But this proves what a pitiful, pious hypocrite he is. Aren't religious guys like he claims to be supposed to at least be honest? This little man is just another lying sack politician. I had very little respect for Apt37 before I read this New Times story; now I have none.
Please, please, voters, go to the polls in November and send "Little Joe" Thomas packing back to ex-special prosecutor Dennis Wilenchik's law firm. He's only fit for mold work. Better still, can't somebody please disbar [Thomas and Wilenchik]. What ever happened to the Arizona Bar Association's investigations of them?
John Price, Phoenix
Wikipedia didn't count on guys like this: Great article. Interesting how the Wikipedia "creed" is to have fair, neutral, objective articles about people like Andrew Thomas.
Gregory Kohs, via the Internet
Thomas' twisted psyche: Damn, you're good! Really enjoyed your article. It gives insight into [Andrew Thomas'] personality, the unreality of [his] psyche. The guy defines vanity.
The darker, more dangerous side of this individual's mindset — the void of decency and compassion — were clearly evident in ABC's 20/20 transcripts regarding the Matt Bandy prosecution ("Doubting Thomas," Sarah Fenske, January, 25, 2007). [Thomas'] responses are of the nature of dogma, rhetoric.
A slam dunk? Let's hope so: Never has there been such a slam-dunk lawsuit against these two so-called public servants [Sheriff Joe Arpaio and County Attorney Thomas] as the one New Times proposes to file ("Blowback" February 21, Stephen Lemons). Andrew Thomas has already admitted in a news conference broadcast nationwide that his office screwed up. He has thrown his special prosecutor under the bus for running a rogue investigation, etc.
At first, I wondered why New Times would seek money damages, but I've come to believe that is the only way to get those two fools' attention and the public's. You should have sued for $150 million instead of $15 million. Maybe if you won that kind of judgment, voters would finally see that Joe Arpaio's malfeasance and corruption have cost us way too much.
The only way to get voters' attention around here is to hit them in the wallet. They care nothing about all the hapless prisoners, detained for minor offenses or awaiting trial for crimes they may or may not have committed, whom Arpaio has killed in his jails, while Andrew Thomas has sat around and condoned it.
Thank God New Times has the balls to stand up to these cruel tyrants. Never give up the fight.
Al Rodriguez, Phoenix
Exposing the new "troubles": From issue one of New Times, I have followed the evolution of this community's newspaper (for over 30 years now). Since being lambasted in issue one for my failure to produce Leon Russell, John Stewart, and the Carpenters at our SummersEnd Festival at Big Sur due to a hundred-year storm, I have enjoyed this newspaper's ongoing commitment to serving its readers with the hard and soft facts of life in this Valley of the Sun.
Indeed, we are all bozos on this bus and must acknowledge that our community has changed and the players — elected and suspected of leading us into world-class status — deserve inspection. Who would have thought that Lacey and Larkin would have become media moguls in our times? Not me.
Reading the "Blowback" story, I am enthused to respect our homegrown moguls for still acting as responsible citizens of our community to expose the serious flaws of certain elected officials and to hold them accountable for their actions. Kudos to them and the New Times staff.
[Former New Times writer ] John Dougherty may well have been proclaimed a saint in Ireland for his coverage of "The Troubles" we are experiencing in the Valley of the Sun. We today are, indeed, troubled by the lawlessness of law enforcement officials who are sworn to protect and serve. If, indeed, to protect and serve is the mantra of our law enforcement, then we are being poorly served by officials who are re-elected to posts that their PR machines have created out of public ignorance.
The troubles today are no less than serious. Educating the electorate is an important component to securing our future. How do we reach Sun City and other immigrants as to the threat unbridled law enforcement poses to our community? We would pray for the constant vigilance of our press and others who pass along the message that we are a free people and will not be intimidated by loudmouth political posturing that confuses the real issues.
Thank you, New Times, for turning over the rocks and exposing the slime that lives beneath. Indeed, you help us understand the difference between facts and the BS we are fed.
Robert W. Gately, Tempe
How do you break up Joe's cult?: I am an occasional reader of New Times. I do love the articles about Mr. Arpaio, and whenever I learn there is an article about the sheriff, I have to pick up the paper from the newsstand. I am very pleased that NT has the guts to shine light onto what appears to be an almost cult-like following the sheriff has created.
I have heard enough and read enough now that there is no doubt in my mind that Sheriff Joe is not an asset to our community. My only fear is that the reach of his cult has grown too large for anything less than a major scandal to break it up.
Dave Ryan, Phoenix
Glad you saw the light, Bess: Can it be that Sheriff Joe is finally stinking up the place so badly that only the most ignorant will vote for him? Media besides New Times, like Channel 12, are now sniffing the stink and going after his corruption.
Funny thing is, I used to think the sheriff was great, until I started reading New Times regularly.
It seems a new scandal arises everyday, and now this lawsuit! What happened to force Jim Larkin and Mike Lacey to write their grand jury [subpoenas] story was almost surreal. Watching Lacey on TV outside the jail in the darkness on the morning of his release was especially so.
I seldom root for people filing lawsuits, because most of them are frivolous and not worth the paper they're written on, but most of us in the community — those of us with any intelligence — will be rooting for New Times in this one.
When you get the money out of the bastards (and you will!), you should donate it to charity. You should start an investigative journalism chair at ASU or somewhere. You've been the only news outlet in this community, until lately, that stands up for what is right when it comes to the sheriff.
Bess Gibson, Phoenix
Everybody wants a piece: On the lighter side . . . You're going to file a lawsuit against Curly, Larry, and Joe (I can't be the first to have used that) for $15 million on behalf of your readers and the Constitution. I'm a reader, over 60, looking forward to retirement. How much of the $15 million can I count on?
Dean M. Brayton, Gold Canyon
Let's hope there's not another one: What is your purpose in ridiculing and constantly hate-bashing one of the few sheriff's departments in the nation that is trying to do what it is elected and paid to do, a.k.a. enforce the law?
I do not understand the newspapers of this country. Rather than simply reporting the news, they seem to have the sole purpose of promoting their agendas. I'm a hard-working taxpayer who appreciates all the Sheriff Joes in our great country.
Russell Dark, Houston
But there's only one Gandhi: Michael Lacey engages in civil disobedience and then sues when he suffers the consequences. I cannot imagine Gandhi doing that.
The fact that Lacey was arrested for knowingly committing a crime is not the basis of a lawsuit. I respected Lacey for his principles in publishing the original story, but this lawsuit shows he is not a man of convictions but someone who wants more time in the limelight, and money.
Craig Parks, via the Internet
It may be the best the GOP has: This lawsuit is the best news I have heard so far! Go get 'em. We're right behind you. These slugs think they can come in and do as they please and answer to no one. Hmmm. This is a total abuse of power and they have been doing it all along. You can fool some of the people some of the time . . .
Those billboards advertising themselves for their next political position and paid for by the voters ought to be burned down, or captioned, "I am costing you, the public."
Pity the ignorant [fools] who allow TV [coverage on Sheriff Arpaio's latest stunt] to dictate their small minds. And now certain officials are using the churches to run around telling people how to prevent crime? That is not the job of a chief prosecutor.
Who else is watching these three musketeers [Arpaio, Andrew Thomas and Dennis Wilenchik]? Look what happened to Mitt Romney when he teamed up with "an incompetent vaudevillian campaigning for a duplicitous moron," to quote the Tucson Citizen. [Arpaio officially backed Romney for president.] Surely this can't be the best the Republican Party has to offer.
Thanks for the heads-up: Thanks for watching out for us. Officials in the Sheriff's Office are showing no remorse for their thug-like actions against Joe Arpaio's enemies, New Times, and its readers. They need to be made to understand that there will be repercussions for their actions. They don't get that at all. Somebody — perhaps the feds or the Attorney General's Office — needs to step in.
How do I know? Because I work in the Sheriff's Office and know that people like [Chief Deputy] David Hendershott and [flack] Paul Chagolla would love nothing better than to exact further actions against New Times. They are just trying to figure out exactly how to go about it.
Here's a warning, New Times staff: Look over your shoulders, because the criminals in this office are waiting to pounce.
A sight to behold, indeed: A county sheriff marketing trinkets as his own personal "brand" and using taxpayer money is something beyond belief! By allowing him to build his "brand" at taxpayers' expense, we now have an out-of-control criminal justice system and overrun courts, jails, and prisons.
Who gets the money from the bobbleheads and other trinkets? And who foots the bill? Something is very wrong with this picture.
Hopefully, the lawsuit will find the missing answers. I won't miss a day of the trial. It will be an event to behold. This is the publicity the public needs to see. | commoncrawl | 4 | 2 | 4 | 2 |

BkiUaaXxK2li-LM1PRbf | India defers plan to resume international flights from Dec 15
in Around South Asia, Coronavirus, India
Flight. Image credits - Mitsuo Komoriya @mitzmoco / Unsplash
Dec 2, New Delhi (IndiaToday) – The government on Wednesday decided not to resume scheduled international flights from December 15 in the wake of rising concerns over the new coronavirus variant, Omicron. The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) said that the effective date for resumption of international passenger services will be notified in due course.
The announcement comes after Prime Minister Narendra Modi asked officials to review the plans for easing international travel restrictions amid concerns over Omicron.
The DCGA on Wednesday said it is "watching the situation closely" after the new variant of coronavirus sparked concerns.
The DGCA said, "An appropriate decision indicating the effective date of resumption of scheduled commercial international passenger services shall be notified in due course."
"In view of the evolving global scenario with the emergence of new variants of concern, the situation is being watched closely in consultation with all stakeholders," it said in a statement.
READ: India revises guidelines for international arrivals over Omicron variant
Scheduled international flights have remained suspended in India since March 23 last year due to the Covid-19 pandemic. However, special international passenger flights have been operating since July last year under air bubble arrangements formed with 31 countries.
The Centre on November 26 had said that commercial international passenger flights would resume on December 15. The decision was taken after consultation with the Ministry of Home Affairs, the Ministry of External Affairs, and the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare.
However, on November 28, the Centre said it would take a decision on the effective date to resume flights after reviewing the "evolving global scenario" over concerns relating to the Omicron variant of coronavirus. This decision came after the World Health Organisation declared 'Omircon' a variant of concern.
The notification from DGCA on Wednesday came as part of the periodically renewed notifications carrying forward the ban imposed on scheduled commercial international passenger flights, since March 23, 2020. The last of those ban periods came to an end on Tuesday.
