BkiUfDLxK6Ot9Pm3xABN | Yuma Arizona (Yuma Landing)
Welcome to the Yuma Arizona (Yuma Landing) LocalWiki!
A website about Yuma Arizona (Yuma Landing) that anyone can edit
Yuma, AZ is a small town made up fewer than 100,000 people and with that small number one might question what type of historical events have happened in a town so small. However, the small town of Yuma has some interesting historical events that one might not have even thought would be considered a historical event without having done any research about it. One of those events happens to be the date that the very first airplane landed on Arizona soil. That event happened right here in Yuma, Arizona. The history and story behind the historic landmark that commemorates this occasion is an interesting one that ties in other historic locations in Yuma, Arizona. Yuma might be small, but it is full of surprises.
One historical landmark in Yuma that is driven past many people a day, and the probable have no thought or idea of the significance to it, is the Yuma Landing Bar and Grill. The Yuma Landing Bar and Grill is a restaurant and sports bar owned and operated by the Peach family. The Peach family have been residents of Yuma for 80 years and were immigrants from Czechoslovakia. They came through Ellis Island and came to Yuma in 1912 and also own the Historic Coronado Motel Hotel right next to the Yuma Landing, which the Peach family also owns. Fun fact, the Historic Coronado Motel Hotel used to be one of the first partnerships with the Best Western motels. However, it is no longer part of Best Western but it is still owned and operated by the Peach family under the Historic Coronado Motel Hotel name. The motel was built in 1938, which was 27 years after the historic event that inspired the name and story of the Yuma Landing Bar and Grill, which was built 35 years after the historical event, and eight years after the motel was build.
In 1912, Robert G. Fowler became the first man to fly across the West to East coast in the U.S. He started his journey in California on September 11th, 1911 in a Wright brother's biplane. The plane weighed about 800 pounds and could reach a top speed of 45 miles per hour. He was making his journey to the east coast, Florida to be exact, in order to win prize money in the amount of $50,000. Sadly, he arrived in Florida on February 8th, 1912 which was past the contest set deadline which meant no one won the prize money.
His west to east coast trip was one for the history books, as well as his stop in Yuma, AZ on October 25th, 1911. On that day, his plane made a stop in Yuma between First and Third streets on Fourth Avenue. This is the exact location of where the Yuma Landing Bar and Grill sits now. When that plane touched down on Fourth Avenue, it became the first plane to touch down in Arizona ever. This was a big deal for the community since Yuma was such a small town and something as new as the airplane made a visit. Fowler stayed for a few days and then needed to continue his journey to the east coast. When it was time for Fowler to take-off, he had help from some of the local citizens. They pushed the plane up a nearby hill so that it could travel downwards and give the plane some speed. This was called a downhill run. Once the plane was up in the air, Fowler continued on his journey to Florida.
In 1946 there was a huge increase in tourism to Yuma which prompted the building of the Yuma Landing Bar and Grill. At this time, the restaurant was under lease and it did not become owned by the Peach family until 1990 when it was no longer leased out. Not only is the Yuma Landing Bar and Grill the exact location where the first plane to touch down in Arizona landed, but that spot is also marked with a commemorative of Robert G. Fowler's journey. In 1963, fifty-two years after Robert Fowler had landed in Yuma, Fowler returned to Yuma to see the monument in honor of Flight in Yuma" as well as a sculpture of Robert G. Fowler himself, which was done by artist Laurie Slenning from Tucson, AZ.
The Yuma Landing Bar and Grill was created to commemorate an important event in Yuma Arizona's history. The outside of the restaurant is painted and decorated with airplanes and all things aviation. The inside of the restaurant is decorated the same, while also paying homage to Robert G. Fowler's journey as well as the history of the Historic Coronado Motel Hotel. While Yuma, AZ might be a small town, it is the site of many important local and some national history events. These events mean a lot to the citizens of Yuma because of its virtues it places on a tight knit small town community. In fact, there is a small museum in Yuma located at what used to be the old Lobby of the Historic Coronado Motel Hotel. This museum is called the Yuma Historical Society Museum of Aviation Tourism. This museum puts on display the history our tourism in Yuma as the development of the city as a whole. It also puts on display the history and details of Robert G. Fowler's journey and pit stop at the very location the museum is located. Since the Historic Coronado Motel Hotel and Yuma Landing Bar and Grill are located right next to each other, the very close proximity of the two constitutes the landing of the first plane in Arizona to have happened at basically both locations.
Yuma, Arizona is a small town with big historical moments. The Yuma Landing Bar and Grill is one of the multiple historical locations that is shown at the Yuma Historical Society Museum of Aviation Tourism and only makes up a fraction of the very interesting events to occur in the small humble town of Yuma, Arizona.

BkiUd5Q4uzlh5qyYgw-u | With lots of interactions with a lot of students and being a student myself (I am still a student in the sense that I still learn every day), I have realized that one single thing is the cause of student success or failure.
To separate yourself from the crowd you need to embrace this one thing and embrace it fully. This one trait is: Taking responsibility.
It sounds simple, but it's not. Those who embrace this one thing succeed and those who reject or fail to embrace it fail. You might be interested in knowing why. It's simple, when you fail to take responsibility of your own life, you start to blame others for your failure and you never get to appreciate yourself or give yourself a thumbs up on your successes, which is very bad for your self-esteem. | c4 | 3 | 1 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUdkY5qU2Ap2aRyAHz | My 6 year old niece has Type 1 diabetes, diagnosed about 2 years ago. When she is sick (flu, virus, etc.) and does not eat, it is difficult to regulate her sugar levels. Her health care professionals say that she should still get her insulin every day. Are there any guidelines to follow to determine how much and what type (long or short term) of insulin she should be getting? Her parents have been unable to find any published information on this.
Even when kids with diabetes are sick, they still need some insulin. Her parents should ask her doctor for guidelines to use on "sick days" or purchase a manual such as Understanding Insulin-Dependent Diabetes. Also, show them the Sick Day information at this website for more information. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 4 | 2 |

Diana Kormos-Buchwald is a historian of modern physical science whose interests span science, politics, and culture between 1895 and 1945. Her research concerns the development of scientific ideas and experiments, the textual representation of science, and controversies involving science, religion, and authority. As the director of the Einstein Papers Project, her work has focused on Albert Einstein.
The Einstein Papers Project is one of the most ambitious scholarly publishing ventures undertaken in the history of science. An international group of scholars and staff collects, transcribes, annotates, and publishes The Collected Papers of Albert Einstein, which provides the first complete picture of Einstein's massive written legacy. The large-format published volumes draw upon Einstein's personal papers, held at the Albert Einstein Archives, and more than 40,000 additional Einstein and Einstein-related documents that the project's researchers discovered since the 1980s. The volumes cover topics ranging from Einstein's groundbreaking work on the special and general theories of relativity and the origins of quantum physics to his global involvement in promoting cooperation, human rights, education, and disarmament. When completed, the printed series will contain over 14,000 documents, filling nearly 30 volumes.
Kormos-Buchwald is the co-editor of the documentary edition of The Collected Papers of Albert Einstein, leading the project, spearheading fundraising efforts, and running the effort to translate the papers into English. She has also had appointments at the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton (1992–1993) and the Internationales Forschungszentrum Kulturwissenschaften in Vienna (1997).Recently she was a visiting scholar at the University of Amsterdam and Boerhaave Museum in Leiden and a visiting scholar at the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science in Berlin. She is a Fellow of the American Physical Society (2013) and of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (2011).

BkiUdpw4uzlh3iJcVL8M | While horseback riding and hiking are the two main outdoor recreations drawn to The Big South Fork National River & Recreation Area, the national park is also recognized as one of the region's best whitewater paddling destinations, with late winter and spring being the primary paddling season on the river. The best whitewater paddling is The Gorge and The Canyon runs, which are located just east of Laurel Fork Rustic Retreat.
This is the stretch of water that gives the Big South Fork its fame among paddlers. Put-in is at Burnt Mill Bridge on S.R. 52 near Robbins and take-out is at Leatherwood Ford on S.R. 297 near Oneida. The distance is 11 miles, the average drop is 20 and the difficulty is Class III-IV. Sometimes referred to as the "Canyon Run," this stretch of river begins on Clear Fork and continues after the confluence with New River onto the Big South Fork, through the deepest part of the Big South Fork gorge. Some paddlers choose to shorten the run by putting in at the confluence off of John Long Road near Oneida, which requires a hike into the gorge from a trailhead. The run includes the "Big 3" rapids of The Ell, Double Drop and Washing Machine, a series of Class IV rapids just downstream from the confluence.
This 15.5 mile trip is similar to the Burnt Mill to Leatherwood run, beginning on New River and continuing on the Big South Fork past the confluence. Put-in is at New River Bridge on U.S. Hwy. 27 in Helenwood. Takeout is at Leatherwood Ford on S.R. 297 near Oneida. The average drop is 14 and the difficulty is Class I-IV. New River is a gentle stream for most of the stretch, beginning to roughen shortly before the confluence. After the confluence, the rapids pick up considerably in intensity, including the "Big 3" of The Ell, Double Drop and Washing Machine. The trip requires a day of serious paddling to complete. For overnight trips, a nice camping spot is available at the confluence before the trickiest part of the journey begins.
This 8.5 mile trip includes no serious rapids but plenty of scenic beauty along North White Oak Creek and continuing on the Big South Fork of the Cumberland River. White Oak Creek empties into the South Fork just south of the O&W Bridge, where the river calms considerably after emerging from "The Canyon." Put-in is at the old Zenith Mine off Mt. Helen Road in Fentress County. Take-out is at Leatherwood Ford on S.R. 297 near Oneida. The average drop is 22 and the difficulty is Class II.

BkiUdF84uzlhaGmcbGd2 | The Honourable Ronald Stevenson, QC is the recently retired Chancellor of the Anglican Church of Canada. He served 22 years as a Judge of the Court of Queen's Bench in the Province of New Brunswick, Canada.
Millions of words have been written and spoken by proponents and opponents of adoption of the Covenant. Many of those who have written to support or oppose adoption are experts in theology, ecclesiology or other relevant fields in which I neither possess nor claim any expertise.
As one trained in the law (60 years a law student) and who has both written and interpreted documents that define relationships and prescribe processes for the resolution of differences my principal concerns are with the quality of the language of the Covenant and with the processes set out in Section Four for the maintenance of the covenant and dispute resolution.
I make my comments with the greatest respect for those who laboured and brought forth the several drafts. I count a number of them among my friends.
Is the Covenant written in language that meets the standards of a Church with a tradition of rich literature in its formularies? I will briefly illustrate my concern about the language of the Covenant by examining how the word "faith" is used therein.
It is noteworthy that word "doctrine" appears only once (4.1.2) while the word "faith" is used 27 times either alone or qualified. Some who claim to be "orthodox" Anglicans frequently refer to "the faith that was once for all entrusted to the saints" (Jude, v. 3, NRSV) or some variant thereof. What does "faith" mean in the Covenant?
Section Three of the Covenant is entitled Our Unity and Common Life. In it we find references to "the central role of bishops as guardians and teachers of faith" (3.1.3) , "our shared faith", "the common faith of the Church's members", "the faith and unity of the Communion" (3.1.4) and "the common standards of faith" (3.2.4).
And Section Four, Our Covenanted Life Together, refers to "a common faith and order" (4.1.1.) and "the Christian faith" (4.1.2).
Are "faith", "historic faith", "Christian faith", "catholic and apostolic faith", "common faith", "shared faith" and "faith . . . of the Communion" all synonymous and sufficiently stated in the Nicene Creed?
As I mention below the Covenant purports to provide a process to address questions relating to the meaning of the Covenant. Will that include questions of interpretation of the Scriptures which Churches adopting the Covenant would reaffirm as being the rule and ultimate standard of faith?
Next I turn to my concerns about Section 4.2 which is headed The Maintenance of the Covenant and Dispute Resolution.
The operative section, 4.2.3, invokes a process only "When questions arise relating to the meaning of the Covenant, (4) or about the compatibility of an action by a covenanting Church with the Covenant." I will refer to the two categories as questions of interpretation and questions of compatibility.
Section 4.2.3 says questions of either category "may be raised by a Church itself, another covenanting Church or the Instruments of Communion." Note that Instruments is plural. May one Instrument raise question or must all four Instruments do so in concert?
Assuming that a question of interpretation has been raised, that the covenanting Churches have lived out those commitments, and that the question has not been resolved, i.e that a shared mind has not been reached, what happens? Section 4.2.4 says the question shall be referred to the Standing Committee. The Covenant does not tell us who will make the reference or, for that matter, who will decide that a shared mind has not been reached.
With respect to questions of interpretation it must be noted that section 4.3 says the withdrawal of a Church from the Covenant may raise a question of interpretation (as well as one of compatibility, not with the Covenant, but with the principles incorporated within it).
But the Covenant does not provide for the resolution or answering of a question of interpretation in the absence of either a shared mind or an agreement facilitated by the Standing Committee. The Standing Committee may take advice to determine "a view on the nature of the matter at question" whatever those words mean. And although section 4.2.4 suggests the Standing Committee may refer a question of interpretation to the Anglican Consultative Council and the Primates' Meeting for advice, section 4.2.6 does not authorize the Standing Committee to answer or make a declaration with respect to a question of interpretation although it may do so with respect to a question of compatibility.
The prescribed process is somewhat more complete with respect to questions of compatibility. When such a question is raised, again each covenanting Church has a duty to live out the commitments in section 3.2. If no shared mind is reached the matter is referred to the Standing Committee which attempts to facilitate an agreement. Failing agreement the Standing Committee, when appropriate, must refer the question to both the Anglican Consultative Council and the Primates' Meeting for advice. If such a reference for advice is not appropriate that would seem to be the end of the matter for the Standing Committee can only make a declaration under section 4.2.6 on the basis of such advice.
Section 4.2.6 says the Standing Committee, on the basis of advice received from the Council and the Meeting, may make a declaration that an action or decision is or would be incompatible with the Covenant. The language of sections 4.2.4 and 4.2.6 allow for such a declaration only if advice from both the Council and the Meeting provides a basis therefor.
Strangely, nothing in the whole of section 4.2 anticipates the possibility of the Standing Committee making a declaration that an action or decision is compatible with the Covenant.
1 The Windsor Report, para. 118.
3 The latter two were taken from the Lambeth Quadrilateral of 1888.
Editorial Note: The Stevenson paper is available as a PDF file from the Resources page of the No Anglican Covenant Web site here.
The Stevenson paper is very interesting, raising issues that, as far as I can tell, have not been raised before. The covenant was (1) written mostly by theologians—religious types, at any rate—rather than by lawyers, (2) much of the text was pasted from various existing documents, and (3) changes were made based on comments received without any real dialogue between drafters and reviewers. That the result is a logical mess is therefore not surprising. That no one noticed before now is. | c4 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 |

This is a first for me. I have been to chiropractors and used flower essences, with some good results. My wife uses the essences on a continuing basis. However, I have only used them off and on until now for several years.
I made mine Saturday evening, the night before my first racquetball venture. On Sunday, my wife proceeded to return a serve to me and I received it in my right eye. I used the ETS for the next half-hour and went home to add ice to my face. The following day, I had no swelling and no soreness in the area. I feel there is more to these flower essences than I ever gave credit for. I now test myself daily and sometimes more than once a day. If there ever was a skeptic, it was me — no longer. It has made a difference in the way I think of and use flower essences. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

Ritchie County, West Virginia
Courthouse, Ritchie County, West Virginia
Ritchie County, in north-central West Virginia (WV), was formed in 1843 from parts of Wood, Lewis, and Harrison counties. Its county seat is at Harrisville. Ritchie County was named in honor of Thomas Ritchie, a distinguished journalist of Richmond, Virginia, whose mother was a sister of Judge Spencer Roane, for whom Roane County was named. Though western Ritchie County prospered during an oil boom in the late 1800s, the county is almost entirely rural today and is principally home to many farms and outdoor-recreation destinations. The north and south forks of the Hughes River drain much of the county as they descend westward. As of the 2010 census, the population of Ritchie County was 10,449.

BkiUc1M4eIXhqTbAZhf1 | Tullow Prepares To Cut Spending As Low Oil Prices Bite
Tullow Oil Plc, a U.K. explorer focused on Africa, said it's ready to make further cuts to capital spending as it recalibrates its operations for a period of low oil prices.
Capital spending can be reduced to about $300 million annually from next year if prices stay low, the London-based company said on Wednesday after reporting a net loss of $1.03 billion in 2015. Tullow reiterated its intention to cut spending to about $900 million this year from an original projection of $1.1 billion.
"That won't have much impact on production in the short term," Chief Financial Officer Ian Springett said by phone. "We are positioned very well to grow the business beyond that when the market improves."
Tullow's loss comes after the company took one-time charges of $1.34 billion, including a $749 million write-off on exploration costs and an impairment of $406 million. Tullow has joined other producers in cutting spending and jobs to weather a prolonged decline in prices amid a global oversupply.
Tullow fell as much as 8.2 percent and was down 7.4 percent to 149.6 pence as of 10:49 a.m.in London trading. The stock has lost almost two-thirds of its value in the past year.
The ability to cut capital expenditure to $300 million is "positive," according to Dragan Trajkov, a London-based analyst at Stifel Nicolaus Europe Ltd., who said the full-year results were "largely neutral."
Tullow's board has recommended no dividends be paid once again this year as it aims to retain as much cash as possible.
"What shareholders want in times like these is financial flexibility," Tullow Chief Executive Officer Aidan Heavey said by phone. "It's the proper thing to do."
Heavey said the company will resume dividend payouts when certainty regarding oil prices returns and net debt is reduced. Tullow paid a dividend of 4 pence a share in 2014, when it posted a loss of $1.56 billion.
Tullow isn't the only oil explorer and producer to scrap payouts. Anadarko Petroleum Corp. slashed its dividend by 81 percent yesterday, the first such cut in its history.
CFO Springett said talks with banks regarding a lending facility secured by undeveloped reserves are going "well" even though it may be less than the $3.7 billion that Tullow announced in October. Any reduction the facility would be "immaterial," he said. The next re-determination in the twice-yearly talks is due next month.

BkiUd8Q5qU2ApzQrUJLb | "Any time you get to represent Team USA it's an honor and a really cool thing. Facing guys from Canada and Sweden, it's good to compare yourself to talent that's out there."#NYR prospect Joey Keane on repping 🇺🇸 at the World Junior Summer Showcase.
New York Rangers defensive prospect Joey Keane impressed scouts at the World Junior Championship Summer Showcase.
The World Junior Championship is one of the most exciting yearly International hockey events, as it gives fans a chance to see the best young players going head-to-head as they try to evaluate the future of their favorite team.
The process that leads to the selection of the teams is long and includes many showcase events and camps. One of the bigger ones is the Summer Showcase in which countries play exhibition games to evaluate their young players.
With the New York Rangers in a rebuild, younger players that the team controls showcasing their skills here are extra important. Defenseman Joey Keane got that chance, and he spoke to Matt Calamia of the Rangers official website about the experience and his summer after being drafted.
Keane, who was drafted in the third round (88 overall) by the Rangers in the 2018 draft, felt that playing extra hockey in the summer (when many players are off) was worth it for a shot to make the World Junior Championship team.
He also spoke about the honor of wearing the Team USA sweater.
Hughes was drafted seventh overall in 2018 by the Vancouver Canucks, so the fact that Keane looked strong next to him is a good sign for the Rangers.
Keane, part of general manager Jeff Gorton's rebuild, will probably return to the Barrie Colts of the OHL to get another season under his belt. His summer started by joining fellow third-round defenseman Sean Day at the Rangers development camp after the draft.
He'll be hoping to join Pavel Buchnevich as a third-round pick who worked his way into the team's future plans with good play. The World Junior Summer Showcase was a good first step towards that goal. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUfYk5qhLBr1LtGDJ_ | Since posting the two previous posts regarding Obama and abortion I have received a couple responses from people in the pro-abortion camp. Their responses include a few things that ought to be addressed. Before I proceed, however, I would like to clarify what the pro-abortion group should be called since many of them would prefer to be labeled "Pro-choice" as opposed to "Pro-abortion". Labels can have a strong rhetorical influence and since I don't want to use mere rhetoric to make a case, for clarity's sake, I suggest we call the non-pro-lifers something like the Abortion-Choice-Coalition, or the ACC. This label would indicate the views of this group which are 1) abortion is not morally wrong, 2) the choice to abort is morally right 3) they are group unified in their disdain for pro-life advocates. The label Pro-choice, however, is too evasive for such a significant issue because it intentionally masks the horn of the problem- the killing of unborn human babies. If this new label will not suffice, then maybe we ough to simply maintain the pro/anti-abortion distinctions because that is what the debate is about.
Nomenclature aside, I thought that it would be helpful to write a post on how not to argue for abortion- in response to the emails I received. After reading through the responses I noticed that they each lacked a carefully reasoned argument. The responses were instead lengthy reactions full of rhetoric and emotive fallacies.
In what follows I attempt to point out only two of the many mistakes the ACC make in their responses to pro-life arguments. For the pro-lifers reading this post, I encourage you to be aware that these mistakes are typical of the ACC and to be on the look out for them. Also, because a carefully reasoned scientific and philosophical defense of the pro-life position is available, I encourage you to resist fallacious argumentation in your defense of the truth- which rejects false ideas, contradictions, and relativism… problems which we are not immune from either. Ultimately, I encourage you to think clearly about reality as it is and communicate your claims with ethos, pathos, and logos!
So what are some mistakes of reasoning that the ACC typically fall into in their response to pro-life arguments?
Though not always explicit, the ACC usually suggests that the pro-life claims are subjective claims- merely opinions or private points of view. Of course we all have our opinions, but the important question is, "Is our opinon in accordance with reality and truth? This is an important question because some opinions are evil- and if evil opinions cause evil actions then those opinions are not worthy of adherence and should be refuted and rejected. You see, the pro-life advocate says that abortion is morally wrong(evil) because it takes the life of a defenseless child. We make a certain kind of claim- a moral claim about the objective rightness and wrongness of abortion. For the ACC to suggest that the pro-life position is merely a subjective opinion is nothing less than saying "well that's just your view"- a statement which completely condescends the nature of the debate.
Now it may be the case that pro-life advocates are mistaken about their claim. Perhaps their evidence that abortion unjustly takes the life of a defenseless child is weak and inconclusive. But instead of proving this with facts and arguments, abortion advocates often ignore the evidence altogether. "Well, that's just your view." This not only relativizes the pro-lifers claim, it is intellectually lazy. It attempts to dismiss evidence rather than refute it.
Any response that negates the objective nature of moral claims saying "well that's your opinion" is in effect saying "Go away. You have your views and I have mine." This is very condescending because it does not even entertain the possibility that the pro-lifers have good evidence for their claims.
The problem is that moral claims are different than subjective claims. They can be evaluated as true or false based on the evidence. They are claims to objectivity. Moral claims do not say, "I like this or that better", they say, "this or that is right or wrong" Pro-life advocates claim that abortion is wrong because it takes the life of a defenseless child. This is an objective claim that is either true or false. The ACC must therefore provide objective argument and evidence to support their views as true and refute ours as false.
Also, another typical response is something to the effect of… "you can't force your morality on me." This response is basically saying that morality is relative- that it is up to individuals to subjectively decide what is right or wrong for them. This is called moral relativism and it is the idea that there are no objective standards of right and wrong, only personal preferences. According to this view, it is required that we should be tolerant of other's views as equal to our own because none is actually "true" independent of the individual.
Student: You made some good points in your talk, but you shouldn't force your morality on me or anyone else who wants an abortion. It's our choice, isn't it?
Scott: Are you saying I'm wrong?
Student: I'm not sure. What do you mean?
Scott: Well, you think I'm wrong, don't you? If not, why are you correcting me? And if so, then you're forcing your morality on me, aren't you?
Student: No, I just want to know why you are telling people what they can and cannot do with their lives.
Scott: Are you saying I shouldn't do that? That it's wrong? If so, then why are you telling me what I can and cannot do? Why are you forcing your morality on me?
Student: (regrouping): I'm confused. Look, the simple fact is that pro-choicers are not forcing women to have abortions, but you want to force women to be mothers. If you don't like abortion, don't have one. But you shouldn't force your beliefs on others. All I am saying is that pro-life people should be tolerant of other views.
Scott: Is that your view?
Scott: Why are you forcing it on me? That's not very tolerant, is it?
Student: What do you mean? I think women should have a choice and you don't. It's your view that's intolerant, wouldn't you say?
Scott: Okay, so you think I'm wrong. What is it you want pro-lifers like me to do?
Student: You should let women decide for themselves and tolerate other views.
Scott: Tell me, what exactly do pro-choicers believe?
Student: We believe everyone should decide for themselves and tolerate other views.
Scott: So you are demanding that pro-lifers become pro-choicers.
Scott: With all due respect, here's what I hear you saying. Unless I agree with you, you will not tolerate my view. Privately, you'll let me think whatever I want, but you don't want me to act as if my view is true. It seems you think tolerance is a virtue if and only if people agree with you.
The mentality of the student in this dialogue is typical of those aligned with the ACC. They often argue against pro-lifers as intolerant but in so doing promote a more patronizing form of intolerance themsleves.
This response contains a few ad hominem fallacies and it is this kind of rhetoric which is a typical example of an ACC attacking rather than cogently defending the abortion issue itself.
Pro-lifers are often told that they are hypocritical to protest abortion unless they adopt babies they do not want aborted. For the moment, let's assume there are not two milllion+ families willing to do this. How would the alleged reluctance of pro-lifer's to adopt babies justify the act of abortion? While it is true that pro-life advocates should help those facing crisis pregnancies, it is not true that abortion is justified whenever that obligation is unmet.
Imagine a person arguing, unless you agree to marry my wife, you have no right to oppose me beating her. Or, Unless you are willing to adopt my two sons by noon today, I shall execute them. If you reject his ultimatum, is he morally justified performing acts of violence on innocent victims? Of Course not.
Sometimes people are attacked for their gender. Men are told, "You can't get pregnant, so leave the abortion issue to women." Besides its obvious sexism, the statement is seriously flawed for several reasons. First, many pro-life women use the same arguments offered by pro-life men, it behooves the abortion advocate to answer these arguments without fallaciously attacking a person's gender. Second, to be consistent with their own reasoning, abortion advocates would have to concede that Roe v. Wade was a bad law- after all, it was decided by nine men. they must also call for the dismissal of all male lawyers working for Planned Parenthood, the ACLU, etc., on abortion related issues. Since abortion advocates are unwilling to do this, we can restate their argument as follows: "No man can speak on abortion-unless he agrees with us." Once again, this is a classic case of intolerance. Third… post-menopausal women do not naturally get pregnant, must they be silent on the issue?
Again abortion advocates must offer facts and arguments in support of their position. Attacking people personally, even if those attacks are true, will not make their case or refute the pro-life case.
In closing I would like to remind the reader that unless the Abortion-Choice-Coalition can show that the unborn are not fully human then their case for abortion crumbles on all counts. To argue against pro-lifers by Ad hominem appeals or from the position of moral relativism are mistakes of reason. As I said in my previous posts- if the unborn is a human person then the typical justications for abortion are inadequate. Furthermore, if the unborn is a human person, then to abort it from the womb is murder- a moral evil being perpetrated thousands of times every day in America. Therefore, my comparison of Obama to Hitler is not out of court. Hitler advocated the destuction of certain human beings both inside and outside the womb who were not ontologically different than the human beings inside and partially outside the womb whom Obama supports the killing of. I will likely spend some time in a future post articulating this comparison in more detail. However, for the time being, my point is this- that voting for a candidate (Obama) who supports abortion (a moral evil) is unacceptable for a morally informed human person.

Thanks for focusing on the real issues of the abortion debate.
Your arguments were well played, but you must come up with a different acronym for the "pro-choice" advocates. The ACC is just not right, I am a sports fanatic and I will not be able to focus on the issue if you keep calling them the ACC. The ACC stands for the Atlantic Coast Conference a very good athletic conference in all college sports. Everytime I saw ACC I kept thinking of Duke, N. Carolina, N. Carolina St. etc. A new name please.
Man, I love the points made and totally agree with arguements made. I am writng a paper for my english class on rhetoric abortion, and I'm pretty sure I wil be citing from this page. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 4 | 5 |

2.2.5 HEPs must consider the varying and differing circumstances of the enrolled student body in determining what would be a reasonable and appropriate level of support at a particular campus. HEPs should consider, but not be limited to, factors such as the student cohort and the campus location.
CHAPTER 3: NATIONAL STUDENT REPRESENTATION PROTOCOLS
3.1.1 The purpose of this chapter is to specify requirements to be known as the National Student Representation Protocols.
3.2 NATIONAL STUDENT REPRESENTATION PROTOCOLS
3.2.1 The form of student representation must be established through consultation between enrolled students and the relevant HEP.
3.2.2 A HEP must publish the details of the mechanisms, approved by the governing body of that HEP, by which enrolled students are consulted and able to participate in the decision making processes of the HEP.
3.2.3 A HEP must provide enrolled students with the opportunity to participate in a process to democratically elect student representatives.
(a) Student representatives must be students enrolled at the relevant HEP. Representatives must be elected by students, with at least one representative elected from each of the following categories:
a. students enrolled in an *undergraduate course of study;
b. students enrolled in a *postgraduate course of study; and
c. *overseas students*.
(b) In meeting this obligation a HEP is to meet the necessary and reasonable costs of conducting valid and transparent polls for this purpose. Reasonable support might, for example, include funding for polling booths and ballot papers.
3.2.4 A HEP must provide adequate and reasonable support resources and infrastructure for elected student representatives to carry out their functions on behalf of enrolled students. Resources and infrastructure might, for example, include office space and IT equipment.
Note: These Guidelines do not preclude student representatives at a HEP forming an organisation that represents enrolled students at that HEP.
3.2.5 HEPs must have a formal process of consultation with democratically elected student representatives and representatives from major student organisations at the HEP regarding the specific uses of proceeds from any compulsory student services and amenities fee charged under section 19-38 of the Act.
Consultation must include:
(a) Publishing identified priorities for proposed fee expenditure and allowing opportunities to comment on those priorities by students and student associations and organisations; and
(b) Meeting with democratically elected student representatives and representatives from major student organisations at the HEP to consider the priorities for use of fee revenue.

BkiUdUI5qdmDCTsM6Jxl | THE PIPER (2015)
Kim Gwang-tae
A dark fairytale reimagining where deceit fuels revenge when a father and son happen upon a remote village after the Korean War
After a spate of fairytale horrors a decade prior in The Red Shoes (2005), Cinderella (2006), Hansel and Gretel (2007), first-time director Kim Gwang-tae returned to such origins for this atmospherically dark, yet still visually stunning version of the Brothers Grimm story.
Much like the original Hansel and Gretel tale, there is enough dark elements in the Pied Piper of Hamelin story to make a seamless transition to the horror genre. In the original, after a piper is hired to lure rats away from a town, the inhabitants renege on their deal so he does likewise by luring away their children.
An identical format is assumed here, except much darker while assuming localised themes around the country after the Korean War and rural environments of the time.
In the 1950s after the Korean War, Woo-ryong (Ryu Seung-ryong) limps along with his tuberculosis-stricken son Young-nam (Goo Seung-hyun) towards Seoul to gain treatment.
Along the way they find a remote village still under the impression that the war continues. The village chief (Lee Sung-min) tells the pair of travellers they can stay, providing they do not tell the villagers of the truth about the war.
The village itself is plagued by rats who neither fear humans or fall for traps and poison. Woo-ryong offers to rid the village of the rats in return for funds that will cover Young-nam's treatment.
Woo-ryong also falls for the village trainee shaman, Mi-sook (Chun Woo-hee), but despite his best rat-removing efforts, it seems this rural outpost is more distrustful and malicious that first appeared.
Such is the popularity of the source material, viewers will be only too aware of the film's narrative thrust. Considering it is a Korean cinema reimagining, they will also be unshocked by furious, bloody-thirsty revenge that further unfurls.
Despite this, The Piper does enough heavy lifting in other areas to produce something of original value from a story that dates back to the 13th century.
The glue that holds the seams of that familiar story together is chiefly the cinematography and various performances. Visually stunning, the film's darker horror tones are also presented with considerable flare.
In particular, the initial rat expelling scene, shot from the air, shows the vast mass of rodents heading for a cave in a delightfully entertaining set-up.
As for the performances, the entire ensemble brings something, especially in a slower burn opening segment, before a wide range of characters display their ambidextrousness and rancorousness.
It is a film deeply reminiscent of Bedevilled (2010) in terms of tone and pacing – one that slowly builds towards more forthright, bloody and bleak revenge by its conclusion.
One for lovers of cinema of the darker variety, it is a quintessentially Korean outing packing in smart visuals, strong performances and fairytale-inspired revenge. Not one for anyone with serious musophobia as the rats come gnawing though. | commoncrawl | 5 | 2 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUdSs5qoaAws5JXxb- | Q: My computer keeps restarting after few seconds of being on I had some problems recently with my Gigabyte GA-Z270X-Ultra Gaming K5:
*
*I have two SATA drives installed, one containing Windows, and just installed my first SSD:
*
*I was trying to install Windows onto the SSD and I tried swapping the boot order to prefer the new SSD, as it wasn't booting from the SSD, having to force boot from UEFI manually while trying to update to the latest Windows. While doing this, I was trying different settings in the UEFI firmware to understand why it wasn't booting properly, and after setting UEFI to Secure Boot (I read an article that was a good thing to do) and changing some settings to UEFI boot, the PC began boot-looping
*I am unable to access the UEFI firmware settings, with the motherboard showing all lights on for 2s, then shutting down
*I removed the CMOS battery to reset the UEFI firmware for 30s twice, but the problem keeps persisting
*
*There are no POST beeps and I've tried removing the SATA drives, unplugging the GPU power cable, and removing RAM modules one-at-a-time until all were removed, and nothing changed
I believe the problem is the UEFI firmware settings and am unsure what I should do; what are the possible solutions?
A:
What you suggest should I do?
*
*Remove all HDDs → Re-insert RAM modules (you can remove the GPU if the GPU has integrated graphics, otherwise leave it in)
*Turn on PC → Try to directly access the Boot Menu → UEFI Settings
*
*Drop all settings → Disable Secure Boot → Legacy Boot (CSM mode) → Save → Shutdown
*Add SSD and install Windows - all should work
What are the possible solutions?
*
*Check if you have the latest UEFI firmware, and if not, upgrade version by version:
*Check if your HDD/SSD are compatible
If I need to buy a new motherboard that is more modern, what is suggested?
I would always suggest against buying these "UB3R Gamer" Motherboards, especially if they are at revision 1.0 only; you can grab any motherboard that fits the same RAM and uses LGA1151
Is it easy to move the CPU to another motherboard?
It's fairly easy, but you will still need to figure out your boot issues, as there may be a drive that Windows is set up to work; ensure you buy thermal paste (Artic cool MX-4 is good), as you will need to re-apply it

BkiUekHxK6-gDw5AwiMa | Three fantasy novels of intrigue, betrayal, and magic in medieval Gwynedd by the New York Times-bestselling author of the Deryni series-bonus story also included.Camber of Culdi: Long before Camber was revered as a saint, he was a Deryni noble, one of the most respected of the magical race whose arcane skills set them apart from ordinary humans in the kingdom of Gwynedd. Now, the land suffers under the tyranny of King Imre, whose savage oppression of the human population weighs heavily on Camber's heart-a heart that is about to be shattered by a tragic loss that will lead him to confront the usurpers whose dark magic haunts the realm. Saint Camber: The yoke of tyranny has finally been lifted in Gwynedd, but Camber's job remains unfinished. The dangerous remnants of a conquered enemy still mass at the borders, and the new ruler is desperately unhappy wearing the crown. With the stability of a fragile kingdom at stake, its greatest champion must make the ultimate sacrifice: Camber of Culdi must cease to exist. Camber the Heretic: The king's heir is a mere boy of twelve, and the malevolent regents who will rule until young Alroy comes of age are determined to eliminate all Deryni. Suddenly, the future of Gwynedd hangs in the balance, and Camber-once adored as a saint, but now reviled as a heretic-must find a way to protect his people before everything and everyone he loves is destroyed in the all-consuming flames of intolerance and hate. Filled with mysticism and magic, these sagas reminds us that "Kurtz's love of history lets her do things with her characters and their world that no non-historian could hope to do" (Chicago Sun-Times). | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUfsM5qhLB3VuyXRK3 | Sylights (Share Your Lights) is a Strobist oriented tool for creating and sharing lighting diagrams and schemes. The idea behind this free online service was to encourage photographers to share their lighting diagrams so that others can learn new lighting setups.
The tool is still in the development phase but it is open to user's registrations. There is a core functionality of building diagrams and more features are planned to be added later. As a guest you can play and create your lighting schemes but they will be deleted in 24 hours. If you sign up however, your diagrams will be stored and available forever.
There is a handy option to download a diagram or send its permanent link.
The other new iPhone App is a SyLights port to the iPhone. SyLights allows to create store and manipulate diagrams with loads and loads of studio equipment. Then those can be saved to your camera roll (iPhone's lingo for image directory). Best of all it is a free application.

BkiUawXxaL3SuhOolRtP | Psalm 34 – David has experienced that God is good over and over again in his life when he writes Psalm 34. This passage is written after God had once again delivered David from great trouble.
Those who have experienced the grace and love of God know that these words are good. I talk to so many people who have rejected Christ for one reason or another. I can't help but think if they would taste and see, they would experience that Christ is everything that they ever needed in life. He fills the longings of our heart better than anything this side of heaven.
So, taste and see that the LORD is good. Let us exalt his name together, forever!
If David knew anything about God, it is that his God knew how to show love to people who sometimes didn't deserve it. David had failed God over and over again, and yet God was still so good to him. He marveled at the steadfast love of his powerful God.
What is it about God's love that strikes you today?
Genesis 29:31-30:43 – You can speculate, just from reading this passage, that there will be trouble ahead for Jacob's family. The rivalry that is brewing between his wives and the continued deceitful attitudes about so many things (children, flocks, etc.) reveal a family that is not yet trusting in Jehovah.
2 Chronicles 7 – What a chapter! How can one read the words of 2 Chronicles 7 and not be in awe of our God?
As soon as Solomon had finished his prayer of the dedication of the temple, fire came down from heaven and consumed all the burn offering and sacrifices and the glory of God filled the temple.
What a sight this must have been! I can hardly imagine seeing Solomon then sacrifice 22,000 oxen and 120,000 sheep.
But, even bigger than the fire that consumed the offering was the fact that God spoke to the people.
2 Chronicles 7:14 has long been one of my favorite Bible verses. Why? Because it details the plan for national repentance and blessing. God didn't call heathens to repent in order for the land of Israel to be healed. He called for His chosen people to repent. If we want to see healing in America, or any other country, it is going to take God's people humbling ourselves, praying turning from our wicked ways, and seeking God's face, in order for our land to be healed.
The same powerful God that showed up in 2 Chronicles 7, wants to show up in your life today. Humble yourself. Pray, Turn from your wicked ways, and seek God's face.
Luke 23:26-56 – As I read this passage tonight, I thought about the people mentioned in the crucifixion account.
First, there is Simon of Cyrene. Simon was from Africa. Most likely a black man, Simon stood out in the Jewish crowds. He was picked out to carry the cross for Jesus, and I wonder how he felt.
Then there are the "Daughters of Jerusalem," whom Jesus picked out and told not to weep for Him, but for themselves and their children.
Then there were the criminals. One turned to Christ, the other mocked Him.
Then the soldiers, men who mocked Christ and gambled for his clothing.
Then there were those who were gathered in the temple, when the curtain was ripped in two. They aren't mentioned by name, but there were some who were there.
Finally, I read of Joseph of Arimathea and some women who had come from Galilee.
All of these people's stories were intertwined with Christ's story. I'm sure many were changed by the crucifixion, and then the resurrection.
I praise God that he died for people like the soldiers and the criminal. I praise God that he died for you and for me. I stand in awe of His great sacrifice. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUfh3xaKgQX6NqtIiK | The House of Lippe (German: Haus Lippe) is the former reigning house of a number of German states. Princess Beatrix of the Netherlands, former Queen of the Netherlands, is an agnatic member of this house.
The House of Lippe descends from Jobst Herman, Count of Lippe (died ca. 1056) whose descendant Bernhard I was the founder of the state of Lippe in 1123. The family has produced several of the longest reigning monarchs in Europe, including the longest reigning, Bernard VII, Lord of Lippe.
In 1613, the House's territory was split into Lippe-Detmold, Lippe-Brake and Lippe-Alverdissen. In 1643 Count Philipp of Lippe-Alverdissen founded the Schaumburg-Lippe line of the House of Lippe. In 1905 with the death of Prince Alexander the senior Lippe-Detmold branch of the family became extinct with Count Leopold of Lippe-Biesterfeld succeeding him as Prince.
At the German Revolution of 1918, the Princes of Lippe and Schaumburg-Lippe were forced to abdicate, ending the family's 795-year rule in Lippe. Stephan, Prince of Lippe (b. 1959) still owns the estate and castle at Detmold.
In 1937, Prince Bernhard of Lippe-Biesterfeld married Princess Juliana of the Netherlands. On the accession of their daughter Beatrix in 1980, the Netherlands Royal House remained known as the House of Orange-Nassau, although Beatrix and her sisters are agnatically members of the House of Lippe.
Lippe (1123–1918) known as Lippe-Detmold from 1613.

BkiUeVfxK7IAFzA-g70r | Cops and Bloggers: Exploring the presence of police culture on the web
Susie Atherton
The presence and impact of 'police culture' has been scrutinized both on the streets (Sherman, 1980; Smith and Gray, 1983; Reiner, 1985; Chan, 1997; Loftus 2010) and in the confines of the police canteen (Waddington, 1999). The traits of conservatism, suspicion, cynicism, sense of mission, machismo and pragmatism (Reiner, 1985) among police officers are widely acknowledged, but still there are debates as to the impact such traits may have on operational policing. More recently, media representations of policing have also been examined in the context of police culture, specifically in relation to fictional depictions which compare the British police past and present (Garland and Bilby, 2011). Police culture has been cited as an organizational influence which impedes reform (Loftus, 2010) but caution over its impact on behaviour has been noted, in relation to the distinction between patrol officers and those in management positions (Chan, 1997). The internet can be an important tool for researching distinct populations (Hine, 2000) and this paper explores one such population, namely commentators (presenting themselves as police officers) on policing themed computer-mediated-communications, or 'blogs.' Such blogs may present a forum in which 'cop culture' as it is understood is widely expressed, possibly due to a key feature being anonymity and freedom of expression. Whilst acknowledging issues of authenticity, the continuing presence of police culture characteristics within these blogs again raises questions about the impact they may have on operational policing, or whether such forums must be viewed as an important outlet for serving officers.

BkiUc7M25YjgKDfmRdGM | Iris.Fall – Release Date Change and New Trailer
Iris.Fall has been pushed back from this month to 7 December 2018. There's a shiny new trailer to temper the bad news of a delay though, so at least there's that. Check out the press release below for more info about the game's mechanics.
Dark & Gothic Indie Adventure Puzzler Iris.Fall Set for New Release on December 7 2018
Change in release date comes with brand new gameplay trailer
Beijing, China, November 7, 2018 – Publisher Zodiac Interactive and developer NEXT Studio have announced today a change in release date for their upcoming title Iris.Fall. The release date has been switched from November to debut on Steam December 7th, 2018. Fortunately, this news comes with a new trailer to shed light on its unique mechanics and aesthetic.
The trailer showcases Iris.Fall's blend of both 3D and 2D gameplay and its dark, vaudevillian visuals. The game features a mechanic that allows the player, as Iris, to switch between two worlds of shadow and light as she is led through a dilapidated theatre by a mysterious cat. The environments are filled with puzzles that stretch across both the physical and shadow realms. These challenges make the player carefully consider the ways the two worlds interact with each other to progress.
The shift in release date adds more time to polish and tune the final product to meet the developer's award-winning pedigree. NEXT Studio says that "they are committed to providing an immersive and gripping experience for the player. The extra time for the project will help us reach that goal.

BkiUdEY4uBhhxMInURIk | White House updates briefing room look
By Michael P. Hill
This post has been updated to emphasize that the panels now visible were part of the original design but were not seen until now.
The White House has updated one of the most famous backgrounds in the world — the one behind White House press briefing room lectern.
The updates, which were implemented shortly after Donald Trump's inauguration, include making existing panels with frosted images of the White House visible.
Here's what the briefing room look like back during the Jan. 23 briefing, which appears to be just before the panels were rearranged.
For comparison, here's the new look:
Note that the frosted panel that sits camera left is mostly covered by the American flag.
The newly visible panels include thick horizontal bands of frost separating smaller sections that alternate between being blank and featuring a scaled down version of the oval design behind the lectern.
The press room background was overhauled back during President Barack Obama's time in office, keeping the basic blue background color scheme that had been used for decades.
Instead of the rippled blue fabric curtain, however, a flat blue background layered frosted panels was added. That oval sign directly behind the lectern, a look that is used in many other federal government briefing rooms, was also redesigned at the time.
The new look also included the ability to add a flat screen on either side of the lectern to allow for presentations or other video clips or feeds to be displayed during briefings.
These screens, which are not always used, were upgraded in 2016 to larger and bezel-less models.

BkiUfYE5qhLBmqyw57q_ | Lately I've been a lot more mindful about the fabrics and clothes that I buy.
I've been trying to buy better quality pieces that will last longer and stay timeless, so I can wear them again and again. Plus it's kind of good for the earth.
I've been obsessed with finding stunning and timeless silk pieces.
This Vince Silk Skirt has been an absolutely dream to add to my wardrobe.
The exact colour is sold out, but there is a very similar Vince Bias Silk Skirt in Dark Blue and Taupe if you're keen (on 40% off sale too!).
I've been wearing it everywhere. The silk is so soft and fluid. It is stunning to wear.
Plus I love that the panels make the skirt look a bit deconstructed.
I've worn it with chunky knits, t-shirts, button down shirts and camisoles… worn it dressed up and dressed down.
I feel good in that, instead of buying 5 skirts, I just buy one utterly gorgeous skirt that I love… and wear it for the next 10 years – because lets be real here, the LA brand Vince is pretty exxy but omg their stuff looks so good!
I just want everything from their collection of essential luxe dresses and simple stylish tops.
They are the kind of luxe basic items that I can mix with more colourful, trend pieces.
I'm also wearing Grana Silk Camisole, Mansur Gavriel Bag, ASOS Slides and Kitsense jewellery. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 4 | 1 |
BkiUdzQ4uzlh5xHhzWWi | There are several different methods of concrete cutting for different situations. Let's learn some more about them.
Concrete has served humanity well throughout history. That's because this material can be used to create long-lasting roads and structures that don't need much maintenance despite the march of time. Still, there are several different methods of concrete cutting for different situations. Let's learn some more about them.
During their next job, your workers might encounter solid concrete slabs. It is possible to saw through them and work with them, but it requires a high degree of caution. This type of concrete cutting is also known as flat sawing or road sawing. Whenever a structure is being repurposed into something else, that's when concrete slab cutting comes into play. This is where new water lines, sewer lines, and power lines are added to an existing building. Although it might be tempting to use jackhammers to get the job done, concrete slab cutting is much more efficient.
The next type of concrete cutting that you will likely need to complete is wall sawing. Wall sawing involves the process of cutting holes through concrete walls for windows, doors, archways, and so on. This process can also create openings that make it easier to install a commercial or residential HVAC system. However, this equipment demands precision and expertise, so it's best to call the professionals at G&M Services when you need this to be done.
There is a third type of concrete cutting, known as wire cutting or wire sawing. During the wire sawing process, diamond-edged wires are used to cut larger objects down into smaller ones. This makes them less problematic to deal with; the wires can also make deeper cuts than conventional saw blades can. To complete wire cutting, you will need a steady supply of water.
Handheld saws are another tool that your workers will commonly need to use. These saws can cut through cinder blocks. They excel at creating small openings and shaving off excess material because they only bite into the concrete to a depth of about six inches.
Gas and electric chainsaws can also make concrete cutting much easier. However, their use will depend on the environment in which you are working and how breathable the air is.

Cruise: Major cruise line cancels sailings as coronavirus strikes 36 onboard ship
Cruise line Hurtigruten has announced it is temporarily cancelling all expedition cruises. Cruises on MS Roald Amundsen, MS Fridtjof Nansen and MS Spitsbergen have been suspended until further notice, in the latest cruise news. Cruise sailings have only started up again in recent weeks after cruises were axed during the worst of the coronavirus pandemic.
Norwegian company Hurtigruten made the decision after 36 crew members and several guests tested positive for COVID-19 in the outbreak on board the expedition cruise ship MS Roald Amundsen.
The expedition cruise ship sailed from Tromsø, Norway on July 24 with 177 passengers and 160 crew onboard.
The Roald Amundsen was docked in the port of Tromsø in northern Norway when coronavirus infections were detected in some of the crew members.
All 177 passengers aboard have now been contacted and have been told to self-isolate.
Rune Thomas Ege, Vice President of Global Communications in Hurtigruten said yesterday: "The safety of our guests and crews is Hurtigruten's highest priority.
"We are working closely with the Norwegian Institute of Public Health, FHI, Tromsø municipality, UNN, and other resources both locally and nationally."
Ege added: "There was no reason to suspect COVID-19 when the ship docked in Tromsø based on the symptoms the four of the crew had.
"Fortunately, we received a quick response to the tests, so that both we and the Tromsø municipality were able to implement measures."
Hurtigruten CEO Daniel Skjeldam said in a statement today: "We are now focusing all available efforts in taking care of our guests and colleagues.
"We are working closely with the Norwegian National and Local Health Authorities for follow-up, information, further testing, and infection tracking, says CEO in Hurtigruten, Daniel Skjeldam.
"In light of the recent increase in new cases of COVID-19 globally, the only responsible choice is to suspend all expedition sailings until we are absolutely confident, we can carry out our operations in line with all requirements from the Authorities and with the even stricter requirements we have set for ourselves."
Today Hurtigruten began the process of reaching out to and informing guests booked on the now cancelled voyages.
The decision has no impact on Hurtigruten's coastal Norway operations.
The news follows a passenger testing positive for coronavirus on the Paul Gauguin cruise ship in French Polynesia, forcing the vessel to return to port Tahiti.
The ship had originally set sail for Rangiroa, another island in French Polynesia.
It had been anchored off Bora Bora for two days for passengers to disembark and explore before the case was reported.
All 148 passengers onboard were asked to stay onboard the Paul Gaugin cruise ship on Sunday, according to reports by local media.
A specially equipped medical team boarded the ship to test all passengers and crew.
It's understood the infected passenger was taken off the ship.
Express.co.uk has contacted Ponant for further comment.
Paul Gauguin only returning to cruising on July 18 for local residents after French Polynesia reopened its borders on July 15.

<PRE> I'LL DO ANYTHING
A film review by Michael John Legeros
Copyright 1994 Michael John Legeros</PRE>
<P>Written and directed by James L. Brooks
Starring Nick Notle, Whittni Wright, Albert Brooks, Julie Kavner,
Joely Richardson, and Tracey Ullman</P>
<PRE>MPAA Rating: PG-13
Running Time: 115 minutes</PRE>
<PRE>---</PRE>
<PRE>"You didn't do the quack."
- Albert Brooks to Nick Notle, whose character
thinks he's screen-testing for a drama.</PRE>
<P> Nick Nolte sings! At least that was the intention of
writer/director (and producer) James L. Brooks, who originally filmed
I'LL DO ANYTHING as a musical complete with songs written by Prince and
Sinead O'Conner! But lousy test scores--in addition to audiences that
literally walked out during the songs--prompted Brooks to reshoot and
restructure his film. The non-musical result is a charming, but
dreadfully slow, romantic comedy.</P>
<P> The plot revolves around veteran character actor Matt Hobbs
(Nolte). He's so desperate for work that he's taken a job as chauffeur
to movie producer Burke Adler (Brooks). Hobbs has been handed his
six-year-old daughter, whom he hasn't seen in two years and now has to
raise on his own. He's also attracted to one of Adler's staff
members--Cathy (Richardson), a charming development executive with
designs on restarting his career.</P>
<P> Needless to say, the actor quickly realizes that bachelorhood and
fatherhood don't always go together.</P>
<P> The story's second tier accompanies Adler. His relationship with
Nan Mulhanney (Kavner), an audience-tester and dating skeptic, is under
stress because the self-obsessed producer of "Popcorn Pictures" can't
calm down. He's bugged because his latest actioner is getting lousy
"scores." To add insult to injury, the only time his calls are returned
is at lunch. When he's not there. (!)</P>
<P> All this, set against the seemingly exciting and no-longer-musical
world of motion picture and television production!</P>
<P> Handsomely shot and very well-written, I'LL DO ANYTHING is,
simply, s-l-o-w. Here and there, a couple scenes move like the better
Brooks comedies BROADCAST NEWS and TERMS OF ENDEARMENT. But the bulk
of it is a lazy insider-look at movie-making with a sitcom-cute kid
angle.</P>
<P> Which doesn't work 'cause this kid ain't cute. In fact, she's
downright obnoxious! Up until one whopper of a cloying ending,
newcomer Whittni Wright gives a very remarkable performance. But she
acts just like a six-year-old brat. And that's *no* fun to watch.</P>
<P> Dad's quite a draw, though. Even when sporting a long-haired wig
that makes him look like Ron Perlman's "Beast," Nick Nolte gets off one
of his best (and most subtle) roles in a while. His chemistry with
Richardson is good, too!</P>
<P> If Nolte gets the best scenes, Albert Brooks gets all the good
lines. As the self-absorbed Adler, he even gets a classic monologue in
which he describes a field of "exploding windmills." Forget those
fictional Joel Silvers; this is a megalomaniac to remember!</P>
<P> Oddly, both Tracey Ullman and Julie Kavner seem miscast. Ullman
is barely watchable in her scenes, sporting a Bad Southern Accent as
Notle's jail-bound wife. Kavner is more watchable, albeit unappealing,
but she doesn't have the fire to match Brooks' raging gloom. Only
Richardson stands strong on the female front.</P>
<P> Watch for a few cameos, including Woody Harrelson and Kavner's
"Simpsons" co-star Harry Shearer.</P>
<P> One question lingers: who is the intended audience? If mainstream
America didn't want to hear Nick Nolte sing, can they also appreciate
the jokes about "target audiences" and "test scores?"</P>
<PRE>Bottom line: Intended as a musical--but recut and reshot after
bad test screenings--I'LL DO ANYTHING is a charming,
but s-l-o-w romantic comedy about a character actor,
his kid, and his career.</PRE>
<PRE>Grade: B</PRE>

From Brittany Reithmayer of Hughesville, Pennsylvania on 4/16/2017 .
My lop LOVES these cookies! It is one of her favorite treats besides banana. When she hears the bag she runs and get very excited for these cookies! Now they are a little hard so I watch to make sure she doesn't choke but she has always eaten them with no problem. I gave her a few bags for an Easter . . .
From Paul of Sterling, Virginia on 4/12/2017 .
Our mini Rex is pretty finicky when it comes to treats. I took a chance and bought these hoping that e would like them. Well, Dexter eats them once in a while, but is not crazy about them. Probably not sweet enough!
From Anonymous of McKinney, Texas on 3/25/2017 .
We think our bunny may have learned the word "cookie" because now if we say it, she'll hop over to investigate. She really loves these little treats.
My bunnies absolutely love the taste of these cookies! They get very excited when they hear I am going into the bag to give it to them!
From Anonymous of Los Angeles, California on 12/16/2016 .
It's tough to keep these treats on hand because my bunnies keep trying to run off with the bag!
From Victoria of Dallas, Texas on 6/23/2016 .
My holland lop bunny loves these treats so much that not only does she beg for them, but once I give her one, she runs circles around the whole house with the treat in her mouth for about a million years before she finds somewhere suitable to eat it!
My bunnies love these cookies!
From Doris Gorgo of Vineland, New Jersey on 10/25/2015 .
I have two bunnies and they each get one a day as a treat. One of my bunnies comes running when he hears me shake the bag. They love them. | c4 | 3 | 1 | 2 | 1 |

A very eventful two weeks
It has been two weeks since the last newsletter and it seems like a generation, as everything is shifting very quickly. The G7 outlined a plan to phase out fossil fuels by 2100. While this plan is likely insufficient to prevent dangerous climate change, it is the first time that many key leaders have used the word decarbonisation, a shift in the discourse and a signal to investors, as the Guardian describes. Other unanticipated pronouncements: the CEOs of Europe's largest oil companies including Shell, BP, BG Group, Eni, Statoil and Total wrote to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change requesting an international price on carbon. Chevron and ExxonMobil did not sign the letter. For those of you with kids (or otherwise), check out the Climate Hope City built in Minecraft. The Pope is about to issue an encyclical on climate change. Newspapers launched a pioneering effort to share stories on climate change. A study found that Canada's GHG emissions cost the world 8,800 lives and $15.4 Billion every year. An IMF analysis found that fossil fuel subsidies totalled $4.9 trillion (6.5 percent of global GDP) in 2013. Eliminating these subsidies in 2015 could raise government revenue by $2.9 trillion (3.6 percent of global GDP), cut global CO2 emissions by more than 20 percent, and cut premature air pollution deaths by more than half.
Countries gathered in Bonn for two weeks to work on the draft climate change text for Paris. The aim was to cut the document down from 89 pages to a manageable size, but they only managed to remove four pages. A quick scan reveals pages of options and brackets. They did, however, empower the co-chairs to work on the document which is hopeful. Page 9 still retains a reference to decarbonisation by 2050. "The path to Paris is now happening on both the political and negotiating levels and with a mood of exceptional confidence and engagement—what is being managed here is no longer resistance to an agreement but complexity, enthusiasm and an understanding that every nation is playing its part," said Christiana Figueres, Executive Secretary of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).
More than 40 countries have submitted their targets or as they are called in UN-speak, intended nationally determined contributions (INDCs). The lingering question is whether these targets will constitute a sufficient level of ambition to prevent dangerous climate change. The Climate Action Tracker rates each of these contributions; US is rated "medium", while Canada is rated "inadequate", a category occupied also by Russia and Japan.
We have identified three options. Option 1: Join the Compact of Mayors, an international commitment to register and conduct a GHG inventory, establish a target, and develop a plan to reduce emissions. In Canada, only Montreal and Vancouver have signed up. Option 2: The Under2MOU California and a region of Germany, Baden-Wurttenburg have a launched an MOU that commits parties to limit emissions between eighty to ninety-five percent below 1990 levels, or below two metric tons per capita, by 2050. Ontario and BC have already signed on but no towns or cities so far. Option 3: Commit to a target of 100% renewable energy. Highlighted by the City of Vancouver's motion passed earlier this year, this is a positive vision to combat climate change. Other ideas? Please let us know.

Piloting a new open source community energy and emissions model
SSG is working with whatIf? technologies to develop a new open source community energy and GHG emissions model. The model will be launched in Paris and will be compatible with the GHGProtocol for Cities, the now global city-scale inventory accounting framework. This model will facilitate the testing of policies and actions for different emissions reductions scenarios into the future. SSG is seeking one or more cities to pilot the model in the next six months. Please get in touch if you are interested.
The Climate Vulnerability Forum (explained below) has partnered with DARA, an international humanitarian organization funded by UNICEF, to bring us the Climate Vulnerability Monitor, one of the most comprehensive attempts to quantify the deaths and economic damage from climate change. This could change the way climate change and the consequences thereof are reported, and tap into a more humanitarian, emotional response. Canada's impact claimed 8,800 lives and USD$15.4 billion a year. The UK alarmingly emits 5.8% of total global emissions since industrial revolution, 23,200 lives a year and USD$40.60 billion.
Content sharing alliance of 25 global newspapers to keep climate change in the news
One landmark outcome from the global divest movement, and in particular The Guardian's active 'Keep it in the Ground' campaign, this alliance of 25 international newspapers has agreed to share content across their outlets, from Le Monde in France to China Daily News, in a steadfast attempt to bring climate news to the top of the agenda for diplomats in light of the Paris talks in December.
Featured network: The Climate Vulnerability Forum
An alliance of 20 developing countries who feel they are a the frontline of the consequences of climate change. This alliance was formed in the Maldives in November 2009, just before COP15 in Copenhagen. Here they issued their first declaration in response to the changing climate as a result of man-made climate change. Since then they have gathered four times and doubled in membership.

BkiUbOU4eIfiUQtkoGJi | Genome wide profiling in oral squamous cell carcinoma identifies a four genetic marker signature of prognostic significance

Background Cancers of the oral cavity are primarily oral squamous cell carcinomas (OSCCs). Many of the OSCCs present at late stages with an exceptionally poor prognosis. A probable limitation in management of patients with OSCC lies in the insufficient knowledge pertaining to the linkage between copy number alterations in OSCC and oral tumourigenesis thereby resulting in an inability to deliver targeted therapy. Objectives The current study aimed to identify copy number alterations (CNAs) in OSCC using array comparative genomic hybridization (array CGH) and to correlate the CNAs with clinico-pathologic parameters and clinical outcomes. Materials and methods Using array CGH, genome-wide profiling was performed on 75 OSCCs. Selected genes that were harboured in the frequently amplified and deleted regions were validated using quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). Thereafter, pathway and network functional analysis were carried out using Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) software. Results Multiple chromosomal regions including 3q, 5p, 7p, 8q, 9p, 10p, 11q were frequently amplified, while 3p and 8p chromosomal regions were frequently deleted. These findings were in confirmation with our previous study using ultra-dense array CGH. In addition, amplification of 8q, 11q, 7p and 9p and deletion of 8p chromosomal regions showed a significant correlation with clinico-pathologic parameters such as the size of the tumour, metastatic lymph nodes and pathological staging. Co-amplification of 7p, 8q, 9p and 11q regions that harbored amplified genes namely CCND1, EGFR, TPM2 and LRP12 respectively, when combined, continues to be an independent prognostic factor in OSCC. Conclusion Amplification of 3q, 5p, 7p, 8q, 9p, 10p, 11q and deletion of 3p and 8p chromosomal regions were recurrent among OSCC patients. Co-alteration of 7p, 8q, 9p and 11q was found to be associated with clinico-pathologic parameters and poor survival. These regions contain genes that play critical roles in tumourigenesis pathways.

Jeep Wrangler plug-in hybrid confirmed for 2023 model year during the 2017 Los Angeles Auto Show!
There have been tons of speculations and rumors over the last few years about the new Jeep Wrangler, and finally, it arrived in production metal at the 2017 LA Auto Show where the automaker had a quite interesting announcement to the public. Mike Manley, Jeep boss, revealed a plan of producing a plug-in hybrid of the beloved Wrangler for the 2023 model year!
Unfortunately, he didn't share any specific details, however, we do know that a partially electrified Wrangler is in store for us. There is a possibility that the company wants to adapt the plug-in hybrid powertrain from the Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid that runs on a 3.6-liter V6 gasoline engine connected to two electric motors and a 16-kWh lithium-ion battery pack.
On the other hand, it might be hard to pack all of that in a vehicle of this size. Therefore do not be surprised if the Wrangler PHEV comes to the scene with it its own setup. If that proves to be the case, the Wrangler will share many of the components with the Pacifica Hybrid as that is the recipe for many models from FCA due to the strategy to minimize development costs.
We still don't know whether this model will be sold only in the US or it's going to be available in other markets too.
Bear in mind that the regular 2018 Jeep Wrangler will be available with a mild hybrid setup that will feature a turbocharged inline-four 2.0-liter accompanied by a belt starter-generator and a 48-volt battery. The engine packs 268 hp and 295 pound-feet of torque, and it is paired exclusively with an automatic transmission.
For all of you who are interested in the fuel efficiency, know that a turbodiesel 3.0-liter V6 mill is in store and it will arrive 'at a future model year.' It comes with an estimated 30-mpg rating on the highway if we are to trust our colleagues at Motor Trend. We do not know yet if it will be introduced before or after the plug-in hybrid. However, it is nice to hear that Jeep is being flexible with their powertrains and that they will offer the customers more options to choose from.

BkiUdsbxaKgS2M58gb-i | Yesterday, the Event Horizon Telescope collaboration released the first image of a black hole humanity has ever seen. That simple-looking image represents a century of scientific work: from the first theoretical calculations describing black holes; to the earliest hints that every large galaxy contains a supermassive black hole at its heart; to the technological advances needed to network a world-spanning array of radio telescopes. When I was in college and graduate school, many people thought this very thing was impossible — I know I did. I am happy to say I was wrong then, and this picture of the 6.5 billion solar-mass black hole at the heart of the galaxy M87 is the most thrilling image of my scientific and science-writing career thus far.
A black hole is invisible by nature. One of the strangest predictions to come out of Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity, a black hole emits no radiation we can detect, and it swallows up everything that falls on it, matter and light alike. The boundary of a black hole — its event horizon — is a border that can only be crossed from the outside to the inside, not in reverse.
It's not one in our own Galactic centre, but is at the centre of the galaxy M87 – a resident of the neighbouring Virgo galaxy cluster, which is the home of several trillion stars. The feat marks the first time in history that astronomers have seen the shape of an event horizon. It's an unprecedented map of gravity at its strongest, involving hundreds of astronomers, engineers, and data scientists from around the world.
Part 3 of my 4-part series on black holes for Medium members is up; part 1 is here and part 2 is here. If enough of you read, they may keep me around to write more, so please read and share!
In 1937, a deeply weird engineer named Grote Reber built a telescope in the lot next to his mother's house in Wheaton, Illinois. Home observatories aren't unusual, but Reber's project was the first telescope designed to look for radio waves from space, and he was only the second person in history to find them. Karl Jansky, the first radio astronomer, had accidentally discovered astronomical radio waves while working on shortwave radio communications.
But Reber set out deliberately to study the cosmos in radio light. He found that the center of the Milky Way emitted a lot of radio waves and discovered an intense radio source in the constellation Cygnus. By the 1950s, astronomers found many other radio galaxies (as they were creatively named) that emitted very powerful radio waves from small regions at the centers of those galaxies.
As we learned in Part 2 of this series, the sources of the radio waves in the Milky Way and beyond turned out to be supermassive black holes: powerful gravitational dynamos millions or billions of times the mass of our sun. As with Reber's discoveries, the study of black holes has been driven by invention and creativity. In fact, every new advance in astronomy has led to new discoveries about black holes, and new technologies are being invented for the purpose of studying these weird objects.
Part 2 of my 4-part series on black holes for Medium members is up; you can read part 1 here. If enough of you read, they may keep me around to write more, so please read and share!
In the late 1950s, astronomers began spotting a number of bright sources of radio waves and visible light. These sources were pinpoints resembling blue stars, but further investigation showed they had to be something very different. For one thing, these quasi-stellar objects, as they were known then, were extraordinarily distant, much farther than any single star would be visible.
The spectra of these new quasi-stellar objects, or quasars, as physicist Hong-Yee Chiu abbreviated their name in 1964, showed they were emitting light through a completely different mechanism than starlight. The quantity of light quasars emitted to be visible across the universe meant they had to be driven by gravity.
Based on the data, astronomers concluded that each quasar was powered by a black hole millions or billions of times the mass of our sun. These supermassive black holes pull huge amounts of matter onto themselves, accelerating it until it glows very brightly. Additionally, the black hole jets a lot of matter away from itself rather than eating it, and those jets also glow intensely. These processes turn the ordinarily invisible black hole into something bright enough to see from billions of light-years away, outshining whole galaxies.
This is my second print magazine feature for Smithsonian Air & Space Magazine. The first was about gravitational waves, published not long before the LIGO detector found the first gravitational wave signals. The new piece is about the black hole at the center of our galaxy, published just a few months before…well, read the article to see why this is a good time to be writing about that particular black hole.
he center of the galaxy doesn't look like much, even if you're lucky enough to live in a place where the night sky is sufficiently dark to see the bands of the Milky Way. In visible light, the stars between here and there blur together into a single brilliant source, like a bright beam hiding the lighthouse behind it.
But in other types of radiation—radio waves, infrared, X-rays—astronomers have detected the presence of an object with the mass of four million suns packed into a region smaller than our solar system: a supermassive black hole.
How can we see black holes if they're invisible? | c4 | 5 | 3 | 4 | 4 |
BkiUeWrxK7IDPADJ4JJ_ | Gloria, Westerhof, won trophies, others failed
Allwell Okpi
Following the drama of Sunday Oliseh's resignation as the coach of the Super Eagles, the President of the Nigeria Football Federation, Amaju Pinnick, said the federation, under his leadership, will no longer engage indigenous coaches for the national team.
Pinnick told his audience at the 18th Annual Africa Business Conference of the Harvard Business School, Boston, Massachusetts, United States that the federation was "shopping for a well-grounded and qualified foreign coach to tinker the team."
The comments elicited criticisms from many football enthusiasts and sparked a debate on the impact of the expatriate coaches who had managed Nigeria compared to that of their indigenous counterparts.
From the pre-Independence era till date the Nigerian national team has been managed by at least 19 foreign coaches.
However, only two of them —Brazilian, Otto Gloria, who coached the team that won Nigeria's first Africa Cup of Nations in 1980 and Clemens Westerhof, the Dutch coach, who put together the team that won the African cup in 1994 — won major trophies.
Westerhof took his team, who are now referred to as the golden generation, to the USA '94 World Cup and narrowly missed a spot in the quarter-finals. That was Nigeria's first appearance at the biggest global football event.
Apart from Gloria and Westerhof, not much can be said about the Eagles' foreign coaches in terms of winning major tournaments.
Englishman John Finch is on record as the first coach of Nigeria, leading the team to its first international game against Sierra Leone on October 8, 1949. Nigeria won 2-0.
Another Englishman Les Courtier coached the team from 1956 to 1960. He led the national team, then known as the Red Devils, to beat the national team of Dahomey (now Benin Republic) 10-1 on November 28, 1959.
The 1960 to 1961 tenure of Moshe Jerry Beit haLevi, an Israeli coach, was not very successful and he was replaced by George Vardar, a Hungarian, whose 1961 to 1963 tenure was even worse in terms of Nigeria's performance against teams like Ghana and Sudan.
Another Brazilian, Jorge Penna, had two stints with team in 1963 and from 1972 to 1973. Under Joseph Ember, a Hungarian, who was in charge for three years, from 1965 to 1968, Nigeria failed to qualify for the AFCON in 1965 and in 1968.
Nigeria had two German coaches, Karl-Heinz Marotzke, from 1973 to 1974 and Othman Calder in 1974; followed by Jelisavic 'Tiki' Tihomir from Yugoslavia, who was in charge between 1974 and 1978. Tihomir, who popularly known as Father Tiko, narrowly missed taking Nigeria to the Argentina 1978 World Cup. He preceded Gloria.
Another German coach, Gottlieb Göller, had a brief stint with Nigeria in 1981. Having coached Julius Berger FC, Göller was put in charge of the national team after the team lost 2-0 to Algeria in Lagos in the first leg of the last qualifying game for Spain 1982 World Cup, with Gloria in charge. The German took charge in the return leg in Constantine, Algeria, but Nigeria still lost 2-1.
Manfred Hoener, also a German coach was engaged in 1988, led Nigeria to a second place finish at Maroc'88 Nations Cup. He was in charge till 1989 when Westerhof took over.
Johannes Bonfrere, also from Holland, assisted Westerhof before taking charge of the Eagles from 1995 to 1996. He led the team to a second-place finish at the 2000 AFCON. His greatest achievement as a coach in Nigeria was leading the U-23 team to win Olympic gold at the Atlanta 1996.
Frenchman Philippe Troussier's tenure in 1997 was short-lived due to controversy. He left after the Eagles qualified for the 1998 World Cup. He was replaced by Bora Milutinovic, a Serbian, who took the Eagles to the France 1998 World Cup and Nigeria reached the second round.
Dutchman Thijs Libregts, who replaced Milutinovic in 1998 did not last beyond 1999 as he was sacked after Nigeria won only two out of five games in the build-up to the 2000 AFCON, necessitating the recall of Bonfrere.
Berti Vogts, a German, who was engaged in 2007 resigned in 2008 after the Eagles were eliminated in the quarter-finals of the 2008 AFCON by hosts Ghana.
The last expatriate coach that handled the Eagles, Lars Lagerback, signed a five-month contract to take Nigeria to South Africa 2010 World Cup. He declined an offer of contract extension after the Eagles' poor performance in South Africa.
Adegboye Onigbinde, who coached the Eagles from 1983 to 1985 and took the team to the World Cup in 2002, told our correspondent on Thursday that while he wouldn't downplay the achievements the likes of Westerhof, he knew for a fact that the expatriate coaches worked under better conditions than their Nigerian counterparts.
He said, "When Nigeria was going perform an experiment to determine if a Nigerian can handle the national team or not, 33 years ago, I was the guinea pig. Nobody has told me my tenure was a failure because that was the first time we won as much as silver playing outside Nigeria. If the experiment was not a failure why didn't we continue with it?
"Another question is: Have the Nigerian coaches been working under the same conditions the foreign coaches work when they come here? In 1983, I requested for 30 balls and the then administrators wanted to beat me up for asking for more than one ball.
"Throughout my tenure I was earning N10, 000 per annum. They didn't give that to foreign coaches. My official car was a Volkswagen Beetle and I lived in camp with the players because I had no official residence. They didn't do that to foreign coaches. Westerhof for example, had an ironclad support from the government and football authorities, which no Nigerian coach has ever enjoyed."
Onigbinde also faulted the process of appointing national team coaches, saying most times vacancies are not advertised and candidates are not properly interviewed and screened based on the plans they have for the team.
An ex-international and former Eagles assistant coach, Joe Erico, described the statement credited to Pinnick as laughable.
He said, "If Pinnick wants to hire expatriate coaches, then he should also be thinking of bring in expatriate administrators. The problem of Nigerian football is not a coaching problem.
"If you compare the performance of the expatriate coaches and that of the indigenous coaches, there is no difference. The only foreign coach that achieved much was Westerhof and he had five years and direct access to the Presidency. Who will have that and not do well?
"The farthest the best of these expatriate coaches have gone is winning AFCON and reaching second round in the World Cup and indigenous coaches have done that also. So there is nothing special about these expatriate coaches except the colour."

BkiUdMU5qoYAlE7mUjQr | So we know that exercise does our body good, but what about our face? You'd think talking, chewing and expressing our emotions is enough to keep our face looking toned. What else can we do? Lots of people think that if you want to change something about your face the only option is plastic surgery or fillers or Botox. Well turns out there's another, non-invasive option – yoga. It isn't just for your body, there's yoga for your face too. And the results you can get from that are so impressive that all your thoughts about invasive beauty procedures will disappear. Curious? Well, go ahead and give it a try.
If you find that you frown a lot of just see the beginnings of those forehead lines forming even when your face is neutral try doing this facial yoga exercise. Make a surprised face by widening your eyes as much as you can without raising your eyebrows. Hold that for 10 to 15 seconds and release. This exercise tones the muscles around your eyes and your forehead. Do that a couple of times every day, whenever you have the time and you should see improvement within 10 days.
If your eyelids are becoming droopy or you see eye bags forming under them there's a facial yoga exercise to fix that. Put both of your middle fingers on the inner corner of your eyebrows, and put your index fingers on the end of your eyebrows. Apply light pressure, not hard enough to hurt or feel discomfort, but enough to feel a bit of pressure. Look up with your eyes and squint. The goal is to get your lower lids to move while you squint. Do this squint about 6 times and then end the exercise by squeezing your eyes shut for about 10 seconds. This should help you lessen the appearance of under eye bags, puffiness and droopy eyelids.
When people get older they tend to get those saggy or hollow cheeks. You don't want that so try this easy facial exercise to tone up your cheeks. Inhale a big gulp of air through your mouth forming your lips into a tube then puff out your cheeks and hold your breath for a little bit, exhale. Do this a couple of times and you'll start to really feel it in your cheeks. Yup, it's silly but it's a workout for your face.
There's a reason they call them laugh lines – we all get them and it's really not that big of a deal, but if you want to lessen the appearance of those lines, tone your cheeks and bit more and keep your skin plump and firm this exercise might help you out. Cover your lips with your teeth and make an O shape with your mouth. Now smile while keeping your lips over your teeth like that. Do this about 6 times or however many times it takes you to feel it in your lips and cheeks.
Here's a really easy way to get rid of a double chin, or firm up some loose skin in that area. All you have to do is press your tongue to the roof of your mouth (all of your tongue, not just the tip) tilt your head up, smile and swallow. It sounds easy, but it's actually pretty hard to do. Try it, we bet you'll feel it the very first time. But try to do at least 5-10 repetitions.
Turtlenecks might be able to cover your sagging skin, but it's better to just tighten the skin with a simple exercise so your neck looks more like that of a swan than that of a turtle. Put your fingertips at the base of your neck and press down a little to feel a little bit of pressure and hold the skin in place. Now tilt your head back as far as you can and jut out your bottom lip. Hold that for 5 deep breaths. Relax. Repeat 5 times.
If you want that perfect jawline – there's a facial yoga exercise for that. Purse your lips to the side like you're making a face of "I'm not sure about this", you should feel the stretch in your cheek. Now turn your head in the same direction while also lifting your face up at a 45 degree angle. Feel the stretch in your neck too. Hold for a couple of seconds and relax. Repeat on both sides 3 more times. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUasjxK6nrxqmoxHUT | Watch: Humorous 'Duckasaurus' video has serious message in South Portland
The public service announcement is a humorous take on 1950s sci-fi monster movies, but its goal is to promote a new ban on feeding waterfowl and gulls.
By Kelley BouchardPortland Press Herald
SOUTH PORTLAND — A humorous video intended to stop people from feeding ducks and geese in Mill Creek Park and elsewhere in the city has hit the web, produced by South Portland Community Television.
The release of "Duckasaurus: Don't Feed the Waterfowl" comes after the City Council passed an ordinance in May banning the feeding of waterfowl and gulls that frequent city parks and beaches.
Staff at the community television station in City Hall made the scream-filled, chuckle-inducing video as a public service announcement for the Parks, Recreation & Waterfront Department.
Feeding wild birds in public areas is considered unhealthy for them and for humans for a variety of reasons. It's the station's third PSA on the subject, following two released last year as animated episodes of "Judge Doody," which highlighted the feces and disease problems related to feeding waterfowl.
"It's a challenging issue because people love to see the ducks and geese, but they don't realize it's bad for the birds," said Moe Amaral, station coordinator.
Amaral based his screenplay for "Duckasaurus" on two 1950s science fiction monster movies – "Them," about giant radioactive killer ants, and "The Deadly Mantis," a similar flick about praying mantises – with elements of "Jurassic Park" mixed in.
"There's some film geekery in here," said Amaral, who directed the video along with Nathan Oliver, a media specialist at the local cable TV station.
Amaral's wife and children, as well as Oliver's children, starred in the video. And they were careful not to actually feed the waterfowl with bread, which is especially harmful.
So, no birds were harmed in the making of this video.

Album informationEdit
The album's first single, "Te Amo Corazón", was released in the United States on December 13, 2005, and debuted at number 20 on the VH1 countdown; the second single, "Black Sweat", was released on February 2, 2006.[15]
The title of the album was believed to be a reference to the address of Prince's rented Los Angeles mansion. A lawsuit filed against Prince by the landlord (NBA player Carlos Boozer) indicates an entirely different address (1235 Sierra Alta Way).[16] However, Prince has repeatedly referred to the property as "3121"; indeed, the lawsuit alleges he painted 3121 on the exterior of the property, and the album's liner notes indicate that it was "recorded at Paisley Park Studios and 3121."
According to another explanation the album's title refers to a verse in the Bible (Psalm 31:21). "Blessed be Jehovah (God/Yahweh), For he has rendered wonderful loving-kindness to me in a city under stress." Prince made a reference to this during a performance of the title track on the 2006 BET Awards; "Where's the real party at? Shake your tambourines! BET read Psalms; that's where it is."
A further explanation reveals that 3121 refers to the album being Prince's 31st release and the release date being the 21st.
Album sessions started in November 2004 with the recording of the song "3121" with Michael Bland and Sonny T.
Ostensibly inspired by the 1964 children's novel Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Prince included a limited number of "purple tickets" with the album. Lucky winners who found tickets were flown in from Europe, Asia, Mexico and the US to attend a semi-private performance (along with a long list of celebrities) at Prince's home in Los Angeles.
3121 reinforced Prince's big comeback after the release of 2004's Musicology. It became the first Prince album ever to debut at number 1, with 183,436 sold in its first week. It knocked the soundtrack for High School Musical off the top spot, and became Prince's first number 1 album since 1989's Batman. Eventually it was certified Gold by the RIAA.

BkiUfD3xK0zjCsHecffa | 'Visible: Out on Television'
eroticlesbianromance Uncategorized May 9, 2020 4 Minutes
I thought this was fascinating, such an interesting timeline of visibility of the LGBTQ population on TV and in movies.
From Apple TV Plus: TV Review From executive producers Wanda Sykes and Wilson Cruz, 'Visible: Out on Television' is a deeply thoughtful and researched look at TV's LGBTQ+ representation.
By Caroline Framke
As with just about any phrase that gets repeated over and over throughout the years, "representation matters" has threatened to become a benign catchall for Hollywood's ills. But the saying is nonetheless rooted in a simple, powerful sentiment: that seeing a piece of yourself meaningfully represented in media can enable deeper understanding for you and the broader audience alike. Beyond mere entertainment, representation has the capacity to change minds — for better and for worse.
This conflict forms the spine of "Visible: Out on Television," a new docu-series from Apple TV Plus that conveys the breadth of LGBTQ+ representation on American television from the medium's beginnings through today. It's a hugely ambitious project, and it takes its mission seriously, featuring a genuinely astonishing breadth of research and dozens of interviews with LGBTQ+ actors (including executive producers Wilson Cruz and Wanda Sykes), writers, allies and activists. It's fascinating and educational to see archival footage from across decades of TV genres — and even moreso to understand just how much TV has been used both as a weapon and a balm to long-suffering wounds.
"Visible" unfolds chronologically over five episodes, each relatively framed around a specific theme: "The Dark Ages," "Television as a Tool," "The Epidemic," "Breakthroughs," "The New Guard." The first three chapters are particularly strong, especially as they examine areas of media coverage like news reports, reality shows, soap operas and talk shows, all of which have heretofore been underserved in the larger conversation about LGBTQ+ representation on TV.
"The Dark Ages," for example, doesn't just mention that the first iteration of the word "homosexual" on television occurred during the McCarthy hearings, but details the ripple effects in media and beyond. (Former "Project Runway" mentor Tim Gunn speaks movingly in interviews about how they spurred his father, a "macho FBI agent," to lash out even harder at his seemingly gayer tendencies as Gunn was growing up.) It also convincingly argues that invisibility is a curse, meant to keep marginalized people down by insisting that they're not there, and by proxy, don't matter.
"Television as a Tool" movingly speaks to the ways in which gay activist groups recognized the potential power of television as a platform with which to spread awareness of their presence and goals, with activist Mark Segal discussing his frequent attempts to interrupt live news broadcasts with their message. "The Epidemic" focuses more specifically on how the rise of AIDS was covered — or more commonly, not covered — in the news and scripted programs alike, though its driving story is that of Pedro Zamora, the "Real World: San Francisco" cast member whose sympathetic portrayal and shocking death shook the country like few other queer people on TV ever had (or could).
As could be reasonably expected, the last two episodes that creep closer to the present aren't nearly as focused as the first three, without the advantage of greater distance from its subjects to reflect. And while "Breakthroughs" at least has Ellen DeGeneres' game-changing coming-out episode on her sitcom to loosely hold it together, "The New Guards" jumps from milestone to milestone without much of the critical insight that makes the earlier chapters so resonant. Take, for instance, its quick dissection how important Chris Colfer and Max Adler's gay characters were on "Glee," without mentioning Naya Rivera's crucial teen lesbian one, or the often messy show's weaker spots on LGBTQ+ representation, despite its best intentions. Or the relatively brief dives into trans and bisexual characterization on TV, both seemingly limited by the interview subjects that "Visible" landed to discuss it.
And yet, to its credit, the series strives far more often to provide the kind of nuance and counter-narratives that few others would. A discussion of "Will & Grace" as a groundbreaking sitcom includes people of color like "Pose" star Billy Porter making sure to add that its view was, and is, almost exclusively limited to white experiences. Activist interviews with figures like Segal and Miss Major Griffin-Gracy bring in necessary, grounding historical perspective. "Visible" even manages to have some fun in segments like the one in which DeGeneres and Sykes look back on all the iconic characters they interpreted as being lesbians over the years — Lucy Lawless' Xena chief among them, of course — thanks to their demeanors and narrative coding.
What makes "Visible" remarkable is this kind of attention to detail and broader context, not to mention its obvious commitment to including queer voices as expert witnesses. Its in-depth study of a seemingly impossible subject to sum up is very impressive — and, I daresay, necessary. As LGBTQ+ representation multiples and improves, it's become an easy line for bad faith bigots to declare that enough might just be enough, the culture war's been won, they get it, queer people exist. But as "Visible" makes clear within just a few searing minutes, the current proliferation of queer content was hard-won over decades of invisibility, hostility and hardship. Now, as more and more people might understand what it means to be queer in America thanks to more and more representation thereof on television, it's even more important to remember the obstacles and battles it took to get here, so as not to go backwards.

BkiUfcw5qhDCyOQLSamY | The Perfect Website For Selling Custom Print.
Selling custom printed products online is not easy. Custom printing eCommerce websites are some of the most advanced and complex eCommerce systems in the world. It is not quite as simples as choosing a product and adding it to your cart and checking out. Some products can have up to 10,000 possible variations.
Web2ink has created a system that make selling custom print online easy and efficent. Whether you are a screen printer, offset shop, label shop or even a print broker, web2ink will allow you to offer your customers more products, more options and make you more money.
With front end tools and functions your customers will love and an admin system that keep your orders organized Web2Ink is a platform that will help your business grow.
Its time to take your print shop to the next level.
Selling custom print online does not need to be difficult.
Commercial printing is a fiercely competitive industry and print shops need to take advantage of every opportunity possible. Printers who embrace and utilize eCommerce are much more likely to see growth, have higher customer retention, reduced administrative cost and better margins. Unfortunately for the printers who do not take advantage of eCommerce technology and web to print technology growing your business will be close to impossible and ultimately your shop will suffer and go out of business.
Modern print buyers in the B2C and B2B sectors have greatly evolved over the past several years. Print buyers now expect a certain level of automation and do it yourself features. The print shops that rely solely on orders being placed in person, through email or over the phone are not able to satisfy the modern print buyer. Ultimately print shops that only receive orders in an old school fashion are going to (and probably already have) see a great deal of their customers going to other print shops that offer better technology and a better more automated DIY ordering system.
While the benefits of a Web2Ink website are obviously great for your customers there are also numerous features and benefits internally for your staff and workflow. Some of those benefits include automated proofs, integrated automated shipping, intuitive production scheduling, customer notifications, integrated marketing capabilities such as MailChimp Integrations, unlimited web to print stores, and much more.

BkiUa1fxaJJQnKM6r4k7 | Pfizer Nears Deal to Provide More COVID Vaccine to Americans
WEDNESDAY, Dec. 23, 2020 (Healthday News) -- Pfizer Inc. and the Trump Administration were close to a deal on Tuesday that would get more of the company's coronavirus vaccine to Americans in the coming year.
Such an agreement would help the United States manage a coming vaccine shortage that could leave up to 110 million Americans uncovered in the first half of 2021, The New York Times reported.
So far, only two pharmaceutical companies -- Pfizer and Moderna -- have won emergency approval for their COVID-19 vaccines. In the Pfizer negotiations, the government is asking for 100 million additional doses from April through June. The company has indicated it could produce at least 70 million more doses if it can get more supplies and raw materials, the Times reported.
The deal calls for the government to invoke the Defense Production Act to give the company better access to roughly nine specialized products it needs to make the vaccine. One person familiar with the list said it included the lipids that encase the RNA material in both the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines, the Times reported.
Moderna and other companies that have worked more closely with Operation Warp Speed to develop their vaccines already receive favored treatment from suppliers, the Times reported. That includes two companies -- Sanofi and Novavax -- that have yet to begin large clinical trials in the United States.
Pfizer has already contracted to deliver 100 million doses of its vaccine by the end of March. Moderna has the same agreement, and it has also pledged to sell the government 100 million more doses in the second quarter of the year, the Times reported.
Because the Pfizer and the Moderna vaccines both require two doses, that supply would cover only 150 million Americans out of the roughly 260 million who are eligible to be vaccinated, the newspaper said.
If Pfizer provides another 100 million doses, that would leave only about 60 million eligible Americans uncovered in the first half of the year, the Times reported. Other producers could also step in and cover the shortfall should their vaccines prove successful.
Experts say new COVID variant may already be in U.S.
As the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are shipped across the country, U.S. experts warned that the new, more infectious variant of the coronavirus recently discovered in Britain may already be circulating in the United States.
"We don't know that for absolutely certain, but it is reasonable to assume that is going on," Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said Monday. "It very well might be here for all we know."
Several infectious disease experts said Monday the variant may not have even originated in Britain, the Washington Post reported. Instead, it may have been identified there first because the British government has a strong monitoring system that has tracked tens of thousands of genomic sequences of virus samples. The United States has lagged in sequencing and does not have nearly the same level of virus surveillance, the newspaper said.
"It may very well be here. It may have even started here. The sequencing in the U.S. is so sporadic," Jeremy Luban, a virologist at the University of Massachusetts Medical School, told the Post.
"It makes sense that it was detected first in the U.K. because they have probably the world's best surveillance program. It would not shock me at all to find out that it also is circulating in the U.S.," said Angela Rasmussen, a virologist at the Georgetown Center for Global Health Science and Security, in Washington, D.C.
Even though this variant, officially known as B.1.1.7, is concerning and will require close monitoring, it is unlikely to undermine the United States' mass coronavirus vaccination campaign, said William Hanage, an epidemiologist at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health in Boston.
"The vaccine is a pretty thorough thing," Hanage explained. "Whether or not the existing vaccines are less effective against B.1.1.7 is at the moment not known. I think there is good reason to think they will not be severely impacted."
Some U.S. governors aren't waiting to find out.
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo asked the three airlines that fly from the U.K. into New York -- British Airways, Delta and Virgin Atlantic -- to require all travelers to test negative before boarding. British Airways and Delta agreed and began to do so Tuesday, Cuomo said.
"I believe intuitively [the new variant] is already here. because if it's been flying around the world, it will be here," Cuomo said. "We learned this lesson the hard way, and we're not going to go through it again. We have been victimized by federal incompetence and federal negligence, that is fact. And we are not going to be victimized again. I believe my intuition is correct that this is another disaster waiting to happen."
In California, Gov. Gavin Newsom said on Monday that his administration had been in discussion for the past 48 hours with airlines and "stakeholders" in the state about possible new quarantine and testing protocols for travelers arriving from the United Kingdom, the Post reported.
As the first doses of coronavirus vaccine made their way to the arms of health care workers around the United States, a new survey from the Kaiser Family Foundation showed that 71% of Americans say they will "definitely or probably" get a COVID-19 vaccine.
U.S. officials said they are on track to meet initial vaccine delivery targets, the Post reported. An additional 2 million Pfizer doses and 5.9 million Moderna doses are scheduled for delivery this week, the Post reported.
Most of the first round of injections were given to high-risk health care workers, the Times said. Because the vaccines can cause side effects including fevers and aches, hospitals have said they will stagger vaccinations among their workers.
Residents of nursing homes, who have suffered a disproportionate share of COVID-19 deaths, are already getting shots. But a vast majority of Americans will not be eligible for vaccinations until the spring or later.
Azar said the plan is to have 20 million people vaccinated by the end of December, up to 50 million by the end of January and 100 million by the end of February, the Post reported.
By Wednesday, the U.S. coronavirus case count passed 18.2 million while the death toll passed 323,000, according to a Times tally. By Wednesday, the top five states for coronavirus infections were: California with over 1.9 million cases, Texas with more than 1.6 million cases, Florida with over 1.2 million cases; Illinois with over 913,000 cases and New York with more than 871,000 cases.
In India, the coronavirus case count was over 10 million on Wednesday, a Johns Hopkins University tally showed. More than 146,400 coronavirus patients have died in India, according to the Hopkins tally, but when measured as a proportion of the population, the country has had far fewer deaths than many others. Doctors say this reflects India's younger and leaner population. Still, the country's public health system is severely strained, and some sick patients cannot find hospital beds, the Times said. Only the United States has more coronavirus cases.
Meanwhile, Brazil had over 7.3 million cases and over 188,000 deaths as of Wednesday, the Hopkins tally showed.
Worldwide, the number of reported infections passed 78.1 million on Wednesday, with over 1.7 million deaths recorded, according to the Hopkins tally. | commoncrawl | 5 | 2 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUbMjxK1yAgYaM0iS1 | Q: Tight Baire and Borel measures. A Baire measure on a completely regular topological space $(X,\tau)$ is tight if,
$$\mu(A) = \sup\{\mu(K)| K \space \text{is a compact} Z\text{-set}, K\subseteq A\}$$
A Borel measure on a completely regular topological space $(X,\tau)$ is tight if,
$$\mu(A) = \sup\{\mu(K)| K \space \text{is compact}, K\subseteq A\}$$
It is then stated that both Borel and Baire tight measures are closed regular.
Where closed regular means that,
$$\mu(A) = \sup\{\mu(K)| K \space \text{is a } Z\text{-set}, K\subseteq A\}
= \inf\{\mu(K)| K \space \text{is a } U\text{-set}, A\subseteq K\}$$
I don't understand why this is the case. So any insight would be much appreciated!
A $Z$-set is a set of the form $\{x\in X | f(x) = 0\}$ for some $f\in C_b(X)$
A $U$-set is the complement of a Z-set.
$\underline{\text{To note}}$: I know that any Baire measurable $\mu$ is closed regular (irrespective of being tight actually). But it certainly does not seem obvious to me why every tight Borel measure is too. And so it seems strange to mention that every tight Baire measure is closed regular, when it is true that this holds without the condition of tightness.
So I'm most interested to hear a similar result that guarantees tightness for Borel measures, as the more I think about it, the less I believe the statement questioned above.

BkiUfaU4uzliCsUqrZaA | We are proud to offer the Montessori program, based on the philosophy and teachings of Dr. Maria Montessori.
This revolutionary method of education is based on the simple and fundamental principle of "following the child". The Montessori program nurtures the natural development of the child and builds on their innate curiosity to learn. Through peer and teacher interaction and an integrated curriculum that includes activities for self and group learning, children begin a unique experience to self-discovery.
The Montessori classroom can be refereed to as a carefully planned environment. By creating a learning space where children feel comfortable to explore, they develop a sense of independence and enhance their cognitive development through 'learning by doing'. The unique combination of activities coupled with self, peer and teacher learning helps children enhance creativity, build critical thinking and problem solving skills. Our program provides the foundation for life long education, where a deep desire for learning is the result of individual discovery and genuine inquisitiveness.
Dr. Montessori continued to practice her theories and proved its success in Italy before she spread her knowledge and established centres of training all over the world. Today, her memory lives strong as her message of teaching by "following the child' continues to be the foundation of many classrooms all over the world.
Information about the Montessori method and Dr. Maria Montessori has been collected from The International Montessori Index. We encourage parents to learn more about Dr. Montessori and the Montessori method at this site.
As educators, we recognize that a child's learning does not stop at the classroom. At Granville House Montessori, we strive to build a strong link and partnership between the home and school, actively encouraging and welcoming parent involvement in our programs and activities. It is our belief, that parents are the child's first and foremost teacher and play a significant role in a child's educational journey.
A child's environment is essential to his or her learning development. Our classroom furniture and the materials we use are comfortably scaled to a size that facilitates a self-directed approach to learning and independence within a home-like atmosphere. It is our goal to continuously offer a safe and nurturing learning environment, where children can practice their emerging skills in a small community they can trust. Granville House Montessori is committed to meeting the developmental needs of each individual child intellectually, physically, socially and spiritually.

BkiUbP825V5hYDkHF7cG | Esports Betting Tips: Monday, January 10th
January 10th 2022, 12:55pm, By: Michael Lee
The League of Legends Pro League (LPL) 2022 kicks off on Monday, January 10, with the opening round of the LPL 2022 Spring and Michael Lee is here to bring you two betting predictions for the first two games of the new season. Here are his picks for Oh My God vs ThunderTalk Gaming and FunPlus Phoenix vs Royal Never Give Up.
Oh My God vs ThunderTalks Gaming
Oh My God is one of the oldest Chinese LoL teams that had plenty of success in the earlier years but hasn't achieved much for the past three. Last season, OMG finished the LPL 2021 Spring in 15th place with a 3-13 record and while the team improved in the summer split (10th with a 9-7 record), OMG crashed out of the playoffs very early and ended the season in ninth-10th.
Hoping to bounce back, OMG decided to rebuild its roster this offseason, bringing in a few fresh faces to help the organisation rise from the ashes. I'm not sure whether the offseason roster changes will help OMG achieve that, but I believe 2022 Spring will be the split where OMG improves.
Top laner Deng "shanji" Zi-Jian is an exciting addition, assuming he can continue with the growth he had shown last season in the LDL, and I expect Dai "Able" Zhi-Chun to improve as well. Other that the two, OMG have some solid pieces, but I will add that OMG seem more like a team that will slowly improve rather than a team that will be very good straight out of the gates.
I don't have many great things to say about ThunderTalk Gaming, who come off as the main candidates to win this split's wooden spoon. Losing jungler Wang "Xiaopeng" Peng to TES is a huge problem, and I don't see Wang "frigid" Xin as a solid replacement.
Overall, TT Gaming's offseason roster changes seem more like a sidegrade, which is concerning, especially since we're talking about a team that placed 13th and 16th in 2021 LPL Spring and LPL Summer.
Although I don't expect TT to achieve much this season, they still have enough talented players to compete with mid-table teams such as OMG and should be able to pick up a few wins early on. OMG should achieve more long-term, but they will need time, and likely won't be very impressive for the first couple of weeks.

FunPlus Phoenix vs Royal Never Give Up
FunPlus Phoenix went through a major roster overhaul ahead of the 2022 season and parted ways with four players, keeping only ADC Lin "Lwx" Wei-Xiang. Many people will tell you that FPX's roster for the 2022 LPL season is much weaker, but I wouldn't write them off just yet.
The lineup FPX put together, with Kim "Clid" Tae-min and Kim "Gori" Tae-woo has the potential to do well and compete for a top-four finish. I don't expect FPX to reach the same levels they had in 2019, but FPX looks decent overall.
Royal Never Give Up were one of the top teams in 2021 – won MSI 2021 and reached QF of the 2021 LoL World Championship – and I fully expect them to be one of the top teams in the 2022 season. I would even dare to say that RNG can be stronger in 2022.
During the offseason, RNG parted ways with mid laner Yuan "Cryin" Cheng-Wei, who got replaced by Li "Xiaohu" Yuan-Hao, who is returning back to the mid lane after spending the last year as the top laner. In his place, RNG acquired Chen "Bin" Ze-Bin, who was one of the best top laners of 2021, so overall, the roster moves were solid.
I'm not trying to say that Cryin was a terrible player, but he surely wasn't a standout performer for RNG and was more times a liability for the team rather than someone who carried the games.
So with that in mind, Xiaohu's transition back to the mid lane isn't concerning, considering he doesn't need to do exceptionally well for RNG to achieve the same level of success as in 2021, he just needs to be an average mid laner. But if Xiaohu can step up, we are looking at a much stronger version of RNG.
There are still questions about how will RNG's identity change with Xiaohu back in the mid lane, but that's something we will have to wait and find out.
RNG are the stronger team, but we're so early into the season that the raw quality doesn't mean much. I don't believe FPX are as weak as many portray them to be, and the fact that FPX did better than RNG at the Demacia Cup leads me to believe this could be a much closer match than many expect.

BkiUbVs4ubnjosH9GTkQ | Anago Cleaning Systems Is Looking to Expand Into Southwestern Illinois
Pita restaurant chain Pita Pit has closed in Edwardsville. The eatery opened last year at 215 Harvard Drive in Edwardsville. You can still find them at 206 N. 9th St. in downtown St. Louis or call them there at 314-436-1840.
A commercial cleaning franchise system is planning to enter the metro-east. Anago Cleaning Systems has announced plans to establish a foothold in Southwestern Illinois. The business was founded in 1989 to help other entrepreneurs open their own cleaning businesses. Today, the company was ranked the 10th fastest-growing franchise and No. 39 on the Franchise 500 by Entrepreneur magazine in 2013. For further information, visit its website or www.anagomasters.com.
Bernardin Lochmueller & Associates has broken ground on a new metro-east office in Troy between Illinois 162 and Old Collinsville Road. The 9,600-square-foot office is being built at 1928 Senior Airman Bradley R. Smith Drive and will house the civil engineering and environmental services firm's expanding staff. The firm anticipates relocating its 27 employees in Maryville to the new building by May and add another 13 workers. The Evansville, Ind.-based company employs about 180 people in Maryville, Chicago, St. Louis, Evansville, Indianapolis and Jeffersonville, Ind.
And finally, the folks from AT&T have reported record smartphone data usage during the recent World Series games played in St. Louis.

BkiUel3xK1Thg9qFetgn | Let me tell you a story of horror and sadness. Sydney. A spring long weekend. A much-anticipated and expensive track day at Sydney's premier racetrack. Then, on the drive out to the track, the heavens open and spill their horrible, grey wrath onto the earth in never-ending demonic sheets. Grown men wept and shook their damp, wrinkly fists at the sky.
I had grand plans for colourful action shots of speeding machinery and bitumen. Instead, I got a lens full of empty track and grown men in leather snoozing in fold-up chairs, $250 dollars out-of-pocket. I did my best – hopefully the shots have captured the essence of the day without making you want to slash your wrists. Please enjoy in a silent, respectful sort of a way. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUbao5qsFAfvtmpMLx | The frontend code provides a couple of extension points which are documented on this page.
The targeting.js exposes a method to set a visitor ID programmatically. By doing so, the visitor ID will be set and stored in the visitor ID cookie which is delivered to the backend.
Make sure to use a unique visitor ID for each visitor!
As this makes use of the same extension/code block system as the Matomo Tracking Integration see its documentation page for further details.
Some conditions or data providers might need data from the frontend. To make this possible, a backend implementation can call $visitorInfo->addFrontendDataProvider() during the matching process to inform the frontend that it needs data from a specific provider. These frontend data providers need to be implemented and registered to the frontend JS and are expected to deliver their data to the backend in some way (e.g. by storing data in a cookie or by sending it through an async request).
Currently, this feature is only sparsely used, but the GeoLocation data provider which can read the visitor location from browser geolocation data informs the frontend that it needs data from the geolocation frontend data provider. This information is added to the browser response, triggering the targeting.js to execute this frontend data provider. The data provider in turn stores its data as cookie which is consumed by the (backend) data provider on the next request. | c4 | 4 | 4 | 5 | 2 |

BkiUdaM4eIZjjLi4UAkD | Unmanned aerial vehicles or drones are flying objects either steered by 'pilots' from the ground or by a pre-programmed code. Drones are widely used nowadays, even by many videographers for filming and recording events and occasions.
Those used for surveillance purposes.
Those armed with missiles and bombs.
The first anecdote that we hear about the strategic usage of an Unmanned flying object was in the 1860s during American Civil War, when Union and Confederate forces launched balloons loaded with explosives, intending them to explode inside the enemy territory.
Later an Operation Aphrodite was launched by US army during WWII to use unmanned bombers to devastating selected sites. After that, many military operations have used drones and have been very successful.
Weather detection – Potentially, they could sample the atmosphere in difficult to reach, remote locations where weather data is scarce. The data received could then be integrated into prediction models – improving their resolution and reliability.
3D mapping – Analysts used stereoscopes to hunt for visual clues about enemy movements on photos that were stitched together to form mosaic maps.
Monitoring wildlife – "In particular it would be very useful to help find large gull chicks that hide in the dense vegetation on the island, using an infrared camera. It would be interesting to see if a small loudspeaker could be attached to use as a scarring method for playing alarm calls to frighten large gulls from the island in spring and autumn.
Farming – Robotic drones and sensors compile a large amount of the Big Data, farmers are using to increase agility and manage risk. One-third of the rice fields in Japan already is tended to by robotic helicopters. Drones can be cost-effective because they use fewer chemicals, but only with specialty crops and crops that grow on uneven terrain.
Search and rescue – Because the outer frame moves independently of the motor inside, it can also maintain altitude when colliding with objects. The shape also allows it to roll across ceilings and floors as needed. These drone can be cheaply made, providing an inexpensive and potentially invaluable tool in search and rescue operations.
Law enforcement – Recently, police in Tokyo established the first "drone squad" tasked with capturing nuisance drones flown by the public, as well as patrolling important government buildings.
Discriminatory targeting – It can discriminate the right and the wrong person and hence automatically alarms or targets the wrong one.
Night vision – It may be fitted with night vision devices to view over the non-lighted areas, this will be very beneficial on border surveillance.
Video analysis – It would analyse the video itself and with the help of predefined instructions, would take a decision to act accordingly.
See-through imaging – The next level could be of such devices that can see through the walls and doors, allowing us to view who and what is inside.
Tracking – It will self-track a person or an object which is on the move and help the authorities to chase and get hold of it.
The drone technology is not just helping governments and allied agencies to handle the defence and security issues but many business organisations have found meaning in it. Drones are being used in logistics by Amazon and many others. You think drones can give a boost to your business we at LetsNurture can make it reality . | c4 | 4 | 2 | 4 | 2 |

Soul Pattern Project
Band Soul Pattern Project Disobeys World – Love Ensues
If you ask the lead singer for the band Soul Pattern Project what the most important thing to know about the band is, she'll tell you "Spirit". If you asked her what the most important thing to know about the music is, she'd say "healing". Soul Pattern Project came together in 2010 when musician/producer Nathan Paul heard singer/songwriter Maggie Vee at a live music event play a song on acoustic guitar. When he inquired about the music Maggie told him that they would have to sit and talk about it and he would have to hear the whole story about how the music came to be and that's where it all started.
After several months of trying to get together away from their schedules the two met and after an initial meeting that lasted 5-hours it was decided that the project would go into the recording studio. A second 5-hour meeting to hear all of the music played on acoustic guitar gave the two the direction of how it would be made and it became Soul Pattern Project and the first CD "Soul Injection" was born.
Going back to the first meeting and the story that Maggie unfurled is what catapulted Soul Pattern Project into the realm of knowing possibilities and for the next three years, co-producers turned duo toured up and down the Pacific Northwest and east of the Rockies playing the music for all that would listen because they were simply asked to by God.
"This concept isn't hard to grasp onto for believers," says Vee, "Because it's known as obedience, and early on God told me – To connect the beginning and the end and the rest will done. What a statement, what a promise. The simple fact is that this music was given to me as a gift and I was told to share it with all who would listen. It took praying and meditating to hit the road undaunted. Early on, I would journal everything which I named the 'Guitar Story'. The story starts with the death of my husband, mourning, the gift of music on an instrument I didn't play and singing words I didn't write and listening to God tell me that everything is exactly the way it should be. I have come to know this music to be healing. We have become storytellers and we are really blessed by the stories that people tell us after hearing the music. The experience of making this music and obeying it is; that no matter what the world has to say about what will be, God has the last word and ultimately makes everything happen first in the heart then in action. We have learned through practice and discipline to receive and attract all good things of the Spirit."
Soul Pattern Project's story doesn't end with just the 'Guitar Story'. Their current studio project "Eleven Eleven©" due out later this year has a similar story attached to it called the 'Piano Story' again challenging the artist to obey and the musical spiritual flood gates are opened, this time expanding past acoustic "fringe folk" into startling original rock.
The band, now a group of four including Maggie Vee/Keys, Vocals; Nathan Paul/Guitar; Joaquin Sura/Bass and Alan Winkel/Drums is dedicated to bringing the light and reconciling their audience to a higher realm. If you are interested in miracles or even the least bit curious you can read the original journals at their website and maybe even catch them playing live at a venue near you.

BkiUbNE5qX_AYzUTz6lS | Jan Jozef van Deemter (Kellen, 31 maart 1918 – Bussum, 10 oktober 2004) was een Nederlands natuurkundige en ingenieur, die internationale bekendheid verwief met de Van Deemtervergelijking.
Hij zette het drainageonderzoek van dr. Sijmen Barend Hooghoudt (1901-1953) voort en promoveerde aan de faculteit der Wis- en natuurkunde van de Universiteit van Amsterdam op 21 juni 1950 met prof. dr. Bartel Leendert van der Waerden (1903-1996) als promotor; de titel van zijn proefschrift was: Theoretische en numerieke behandeling van ontwaterings- en infiltratie-stromings-problemen.
Inmiddels was hij op 1 september 1947 op de toenmalige afdeling TH in dienst van Shell getreden, waar hij in een veelheid van functies tot zijn pensioen zou blijven. Hij hield zich aanvankelijk vooral bezig met berekeningen op het gebied van vloeistof- en gasstromen en fluïdisatie. In 1956 verscheen er een artikel van zijn hand over de nadien naar hem genoemde Van Deemtervergelijking die het fundament legde voor de verbeteringen in zowel de gas- als vloeistofchromatografie in de jaren daarna. Van 1955 tot 1957 was hij verbonden aan het Houston Refinery Research Laboratorium. Hij keerde in 1958 terug en werd afdelingschef van PDO waar hij zich vooral met onderzoek aan bitumen bezighield. In deze tijd beëindigde hij geleidelijk zijn werk aan de chromatografie. Hij werd in 1969 directeur Production Research van het Koninklijke/Shell Exploratie en Produktie Laboratorium (KSEPL) te Rijswijk ZH en op 1 augustus 1972 werd hij directeur Engineering Research van het Koninklijke/Shell-Laboratorium, Amsterdam (KSLA) als opvolger van G.H. Reman. Op 31 maart 1978 nam hij afscheid van Shell en ging na 30 jaar met pensioen. In hetzelfde jaar ontving hij een medaille van de Akademie van Wetenschappen van de USSR ter gelegenheid van het 75-jarig jubileum van de ontdekking van de chromatografie door M.S. Tswet.

2020-01-08 12:16:06 category:Hot
Ms. Wu said that Longyuan villa is a large community. Every time she receives the express from Yunda company, she has to go to the Cainiao post station on the hillside to get it, which is very inconvenient. Obviously, they have a delivery cabinet downstairs. He just doesnt put it. As long as he sees the delivery on this floor, he doesnt send it.
Ms. Wu has complained to the customer service department of Yunda company by phone for many times, but she has not been properly handled yet!
Even if I dont do express delivery, I want to fuck you. If you do this, Ill go to you 100 percent, the courier once threatened Ms. Wu on the phone
As a result, she rushed directly into Ms. Wus house and took five or six express delivery items that she didnt deliver a few days ago. Then she beat Ms. Wus head for more than ten times. Ms. Wu held her hand and her hand was bruised.
After the incident, Ms. Wu and her family reported to the police at the first time, but even in the presence of the police, the courier still had an outrageous attitude and threatened Ms. Wu that if there was no law to kill her.
After hospital examination, Ms. Hu suffered head injury and multiple contusions of her upper limbs, which was identified as minor injury by forensic medicine.
Yunda express station staff involved said that the person in charge was not present and refused to respond.
Area police revealed that the current door-to-door beating courier Zeng has been detained by the public security!
Yunda express Shenzhen Branch responded: first of all, in terms of the courier itself, its wrong to start this process, so he should bear the corresponding legal consequences. Second, we need to educate a group of integral salespeople through this matter, make good use of the key period of the end of the year, handle the customer relationship, and safeguard the rights and interests of customers. For this matter, then we will actively keep in touch with the injured and strive to minimize the negative impact of that matter.

BkiUfV85qhDChOLpqpyD | Every single golf course should be thinking about mini golf — here's why
By: Dylan Dethier March 22, 2021
The putting course at Indian Wells is lit up on weekends.
Indian Wells Golf Resort
When Pebble Beach rolled out photos of its brand-new Tiger Woods-designed short course on Monday morning, the nine-hole layout got all the attention. But one section at the bottom of the press release caught my eye: The putting course.
"Tiger Woods saw the importance of setting aside some of this precious land for a putting course," the release read. "For beginners, it can be, quite literally, and on-ramp to the game."
On-ramp. What a terrific turn of phrase. And what a terrific project. Pebble Beach is often associated with its $575 greens fee, but the new short course is free for kids under 12 and $5 for Youth on Course members. (Sorry, adults: $65 for you). As for the putting course? It's free for everyone, general public included.
Pebble Beach's putting course will be free to the general public. Pebble Beach Co.
Pebble Beach is just the latest high-profile public golf course to think bigger by going smaller. Short courses have exploded as resort amenities of late; Pinehurst, Bandon, Sand Valley and Cabot Links are among the many courses who have added short par-3 courses. Putting courses have followed: Think Thistle Dhu at Pinehurst, The Punchbowl at Bandon, Drumlin at Erin Hills, Cascade at Gamble Sands or Driftwood at Sea Island.
But this is Muni Mondays, a column about municipal golf, which brings us to the point of this short course talk: Munis, it's time to focus on the little things! In this space we've highlighted city-owned courses exploring creative business models like partnering with Topgolf or local craft beer companies as they look to expand their appeal. So how 'bout offering the simple, time-tested fun of miniature golf?
Sure, nearly every course boasts a practice putting green. But think about that: Practice. It sounds like work! Where Topgolf, DriveShack and other range entertainment services have succeeded is in turning full-swing "practice" into a game. Putting courses can do the same but for the short game.
Game-ifying the putting green has several benefits. It's more fun, for one thing. It's more accessible, for another. Hitting a full-swing driver is extremely difficult, but hitting a putt? That's far simpler. What's more, a mini-golf or "putting course" can provide course operators with an alternate source of revenue on a tiny fraction of the footprint taken up by a full-sized course. It's a win-win-win.
Some munis are way ahead of this trend. The oldest miniature golf course in the U.S., which dates back to 1931, sits at East Potomac in Washington, D.C. alongside a muni. The National Links Trust recently announced they'd be investing in three D.C.-area munis: East Potomac, Langston and Rock Creek. 18-hole putting courses are prominently featured in the plans for each course.

Two weeks ago, Muni Monday highlighted Belmont Golf Course in Virginia, which is partnering with the First Tee to turn an 18-hole layout into a 12-hole "big course," a six-hole short course and a putting course. Indian Wells, a city-owned golf facility in the Palm Springs area, features a putting course that's lit up on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights.
Pete and Alice Dye at The Children's Museum in Indianapolis. The Children's Museum in Indianapolis
Pete and Alice Dye designed a 36-hole miniature golf course that's not attached to a big course, but it is adjacent to another city attraction: The Indianapolis Children's Museum. If you build it, they will come.
Closer to my home, Interbay Golf Center in Seattle boasts a solid miniature golf course best played with a Rainier in hand. Even as a golf fiend, I'd be unlikely to go with my friends to play miniature golf at, say, Pirate's Cove. But once we're on site at Interbay hitting balls or playing nine holes, a quick trip around the putting course seems like the perfect add-on. In other words, it's not weird for four 30-year-old dudes to take to the turf, rubber putters in hand. (I don't think.)
A post shared by INTERBAY GOLF CENTER ⛳️ (@interbaygolf)
According to the National Golf Foundation, 24.8 million people played golf on a "real" course in 2020. It was a great year for the game. But 12.1 million more played only off-course golf last year. And 17 million more non-golfers expressed interest in trying the game. It's intimidating to get started in the game of golf. But everyone has fun playing miniature golf. Help those prospective golfers ease into the game. Give them an on-ramp. Build up those putting courses.
After all, there's no better feeling than the ball finding the bottom of the cup.

BkiUfvLxK3YB9ohkPjSJ | The governing body come together with only one set of interest in mind: The children of Stenson Fields Primary School. Everything we discuss, decide and do is aimed towards improvement of the school, experience and opportunities of the pupils. I feel privileged, particularly as a parent governor, to be part of the team trusted to realise this aim.
We cover all areas of the schools operation, curriculum, direction and improvement during our meetings. Every governor has an equally valued voice. It's always rewarding to see how the efforts of the teachers, school leadership team and governing body are translated into the classroom. Governors attend learning walks - short observations throughout all classes focused on a specific area (such as 'the learning environment') to see how this concept evolves throughout the year groups to meet the needs of the children.
I started as a parent governor, which requires no particular skills set other than a genuine interest in your child's school and a desire to help make it a better place. Full training opportunities are made available to bridge any specific knowledge gaps, however, many skills, whether they be life skills or professional are transferable.
I would encourage any parent to consider applying for a post of parent governor when vacancies are advertised in the school newsletter. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUbxnxK6Ot9UjEAAFT | Google App Engine adds support for Java 11
Submitted By: Loknath Das November 18, 2019 No Comments
Google's App Engine cloud has added official support for Java 11, the latest long-term support (LTS) version of the Java language platform, as a production release.
The App Engine Standard Environment Java 11 runtime is generally available for running any Java 11 application, web framework, or service in a managed serverless environment. Java 11 had been offered on App Engine in a beta release since June.
[ The new Java is coming! Learn everything you need to know about what's new in Java JDK 13. | Discover the Jakarta EE enterprise Java roadmap. | Keep up with hot topics in programming with InfoWorld's App Dev Report newsletter. ]
The Java 11 runtime on App Engine offers twice the amount of memory as the earlier Java 8 runtime, providing better support for applications that run under a heavy workload with large amounts of data. Developers can use frameworks including Spring Boot, Ktor, Vert.x, or Micronaut.
In the Google App Engine managed environment, the runtime is automatically updated with the latest security patches to the operating system and minor revisions to the Java Development Kit (JDK). App Engine also provides services including request tracing, traffic splitting, centralized logging, and production debugging.
Java 11, or JDK 11, was made available by Oracle in September 2018. As an LTS version, Java 11 is slated to receive support from Oracle well into the next decade. This contrasts with six months of Oracle support for other releases, such as the current JDK 13 release or the prior JDK 12 release.

BkiUcxrxK0-nUGYe5os6 | Roadside retail – it's all about convenience aligned to a digital world
by Cheetham and Mortimer
Uncategorized#onlineshopping #retail
The move to online shopping has been well documented and the pandemic has only accelerated this change in our habits. Similarly the surge in online home takeaway food delivery operators and their associated apps during this period appears to signal a permanent change in the way we will get our fast food in the future.
However, amidst this on line activity , we have witnessed considerable interest from retailers and leisure operators seeking a physical presence in the shape of bricks and mortar to ensure that they can provide the supply and logistics required to compliment the on line presence. As an example, retailers are now considering high profile roadside sites, such as failed restaurant units, or smaller retail showroom units, which can be utilised for click and collect purposes. The logic behind this is straightforward – there is a considerable cost saving, both in terms of staffing and rent/rates and in many cases it is more convenient for customers as the majority of these units have free car parking adjacent to the front door, rather than the often excessive rates charged in town centres and some retail parks. It gives the retailers the opportunity to have their branding on display and still have representation in a town, whilst at the same time not having the lease liability of a unit which is now considerably larger than their operational requirements. An example of this is at Portwood court, Stockport where C&M let the former Maplin unit to Direct Flooring – an online flooring retailer who still required a physical presence to showcase their offer and grow their business. At the same development, the former Carphone Warehouse attracted interest from a national fashion retailer who was considering relocating from the adjacent retail park and utilising the unit for click and collect only.
Similarly drive thru restaurant operators have become one of the most hotly contested sectors of the market as food to go businesses battle it out for prominent roadside buildings or sites, away from deserted shopping and leisure centres. The obvious attraction is the lack of physical contact and with many town centre takeaways closed, queues have stretched up to 90 minutes at some stores. With fewer staff required and typically lower rents than city centre sites, together with free car parking ,they are an attractive prospect for businesses. These outlets also provide the supply required for the burgeoning online presence.
The move online and for convenience is here to stay, but landlords and operators have to be proactive in recognising the potential opportunities that comes with it.

Who made these failing retailers take long leases???
Uncategorized#debenhams #highstreet #property #retail
Sir Ian Cheshire – a former chairman of Debenhams – is quoted on the BBC website that Debenhams was "caught in a straitjacket" with too many High Street outlets on long leases.
It is worth pointing out that in 2005, Debenhams entered into a sale & leaseback transaction on 23 stores with British Land. They committed to lease terms of 30 and 35 years and with annual compound increases in the rent. Debenhams happily pocketed £495,000,000. (Source – Property Week)
I seem to recall that House of Fraser pulled a similar stunt. They befell a similar fate. These retailers have often been instrumental in their own downfall. It's not the fault of property owners…although they often seem to be taking the hit through the inequitable CVA process.
Councils will need access to cheap Prudential Borrowing if they are to help struggling town centres – but they need to use it wisely.
The announcement in yesterday's Spending Review that local authorities will no longer be able to access cheap debt from the Public Works Loans Board for yield arbitrage purposes has to be welcome news – if for no other reason than financial stability. Over a three year period from 2016, it is reported that local authorities spent a staggering £6.6bn on commercial property with almost 40% being outside of their boundary. For those who chose to "invest" (poor choice of terminology) in the retail sector, the outcome could prove to be a disaster for their finances. The fact that Croydon council has effectively declared itself bankrupt after taking loans of £545m to buy a shopping centre should serve as a warning.
It is estimated that over this period, a quarter of the investment activity was directed to the retail sector – and particularly shopping centres. Within our region, top of my list of atrocious investment purchases has to be Shropshire Councils purchase of the Darwin and Pride Hill Shopping Centres – yes – not one, but two shopping centres. In fairness, these schemes had been touted as a redevelopment play, but in my mind if the combined development experience of Shearer Property and the financial clout of Standard Life could not pull it off, why did the council think they could do otherwise?
Now, I am aware that not all purchases will have been made with Prudential borrowing. I am also in favor of councils being able to access cheap money if it genuinely acts as a catalyst for regeneration (the clue is in the name – "public works"). Everyone knows that the viability of development is challenged from the outset when there has to be a destruction of value to create value. Unfortunately, many councils make this equation even more difficult by paying too much for their shopping centres. Furthermore, with a recent survey by Korn Ferry predicting that over a third of retail bosses are expecting to reduce the size of their store portfolio within the next 12 months, an increasing queue of retail owners seeking to enhance the value of their equity stake through the use of CVA's and shopping centres not being conducive to the surge in demand for click and collect facilities, the short term prognosis for value is bleak.
Looking forward, many town centres will continue to decline. One way or another, it will require local authorities to take a leading role if the decline is to be arrested. If you are a local authority contemplating an intervention into the retail market, never before has it been so important to obtain impartial professional advice before committing to a purchase (and a debt). Timing is everything. Knowledge is key.
Private Investor Demand remains strong for secure income
We are pleased to report that we have exchanged contracts to forward sell a new Costa Drive Thru in Scarborough. Acting on instructions from Rothstone Developments, we agreed the sale to clients of Prideview at a price reflecting a net return of 5.50% for 10 years term certain of income. Works are about to commence of site with practical completion expected in the Spring of 2021.
With interest rates close to zero, it is very difficult to secure decent income returns – let alone one that shows a positive return in real terms. In this case, the investment provides more than just secure income. The property caters to the expanding market for convenience and the site fronts onto the busy A64. It is adjacent to a Morrisons Supermarket and a McDonalds Drive Thru – hence there is customer throughput. Therefore, where the fundamentals are strong investor demand appears to be strong. We do not anticipate this changing for the foreseeable future.

The Changing Fortunes of Retail
Chapter 2 – The Rise of Independence.
Three news stories published this week have reinforced our belief that there is hope for the High Street – in the form of the independent retailer. As the national brands grapple with legacy issues and adapting to the digital age, independent retailers have shown themselves to be more agile.
Firstly, M&S announced their first trading loss in 90 years – £87.6m. This was attributed to a poor performance in Clothing and Home sales. The bright star was the continuing strong performance in food sales – up by 2.7% and expected to accelerate as the company reaps the benefit of their new trading relationship with the online platform – Ocado. According to Steve Rowe, the CEO, Covid has forced the company to implement three years of change into a single year. The company has allocated £120m to fund further store closures.
Secondly, a report from Local Data Company (LDC) confirms that small shops have been better at surviving the virus than big ones. LDC have been studying the performance of the top 500 Centres (frankly, I didn't know there were that many!) for the past decade. For the period January to August, they reported that there had been 31,139 store closures and a net decrease of 7,834 shops. However, independent businesses declined by 0.54% compared with 2.77% for the national chains. Admittedly, the picture is still one of consolidation but that must be expected with the impact of lock down.
Finally, Sainsburys announced the closure of 420 Argos Stores by March 2024. They will partially be replaced by 150 new Argos outlets in store at Sainsburys. To make space, Sainsburys are scrapping their meat, fish and deli counters. The company claims to be responding to changing consumer demand – the customer does not have time to queue. I would contend that Lidl and Aldi trade extremely well without the expense of operating such facilities and they are a luxury that Sainsburys cannot afford in the low margin world of groceries and a migration towards online deliveries. However, we also believe that provenance, choice and cost remain important considerations for consumers and this creates an opening for the independent butcher, fishmonger and delicatessen.
So what does this mean? The national multiples will continue to reduce their physical presence on the High Street. They will in part be replaced by independent retailers who are able to tailor their offer to local need and react quickly to satisfy emerging trends. They will be cost conscious…..rents will be lower…. and they will want occupational flexibility…..leases will be shorter. The combined impact will be lower capital values as investors demand higher risk weighted returns. This trend is already evident although the market is in a state of transition and the full impact is not uniform. For investors, the focus will be on continuity of income and less emphasis on lease length and covenant strength. It will be critical to understand the ability of each property to generate a consistent income – regardless of the tenant type – and to foster good relationships with the tenant. Success will be reflected in the void rate.

Opara said the program is an exclusive pathway designed to fast-track the attainment of the Associateship status of The Chartered Institute of Bankers of Nigeria while enhancing competence and skills in the financial services industry.

I will like to state that this Programme is a local variant of the existing relationship the Institute has with Bangor University which offers a triple qualification of Masters Business Administration (MBA), ACIB Scotland and ACIB Nigeria."
One can say with confidence that the program will not fall short of the expected content and delivery in view of the capacity, competence and status of the two organizations that have come together in collaboration for its development.
The Nigerian Business School is one of the top recognized business institutions in the world offering premium standard programs and making remarkable impact in advancing business and financial knowledge in the West African subregion
In February, the graduate business school of the Pan-Atlantic University among eight others in Africa, got another 5 years accreditation from the Advanced Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), confirming its standard in the development and delivery of its MBA and short programs in business administration.
CIBN President said in confirmation; "We both brought our expertise to bear to develop high-value content that speaks to and resonates with professionals. This is because we understand that we live in a dynamic environment that changes all the time and as such places a demand on professionals to make quality informed decisions. The World Economic Forum projected in its Future of Jobs Report 2020 that more than half of all employees around the world need to upskill or reskill by 2025 to embrace the changing nature of jobs.
Hence, these Programmes will give premium opportunities to the participants to update their managerial skills and strategic thinking and also enable them to gain a thorough understanding of the current business context thereby aiding them to implement strategies for effective change processes."
In a presentation, the Lagos Business School highlighted the status of the African economy and the need to build competent individuals to advance the economy of the continent. It further highlighted the needed competence achievable through the institution's programmes
Leaders, business leaders, senior managers and executives with new business thinking and who can implement new business models that will propel businesses in a new trajectory and contribute to the economic growth of national economies."
These are individuals "equipped with the knowledge, skills and confidence to identify problems, implement plans and effectively make business decisions"
Opara encouraged stakeholders to explore this opportunity to advance their skills and fit into the opportunities that will abound.
He said; "let me encourage our stakeholders to become deliberate in tapping into this available opportunity". While quoting Theodora Lau, Founder of Unconventional Ventures, he implored stakeholders to "Treat skilling as a business investment, not an expense."

BkiUdqk5qdmDNenr0In- | Casting Call: Beautiful, The Carole King Musical
View Full Images
In which we suggest who should star in the next big adaptation, remake, or historical film.
Based on the book by Douglas McGrath, Beautiful: The Carole King Musical debuted on Broadway in October 2013. Since then, the musical has earned seven Tony nominations (it won two: Best Actress for Jessie Mueller and Best Sound Design) and set house records at the Stephen Sondheim Theatre. Its success has also prompted a London West End production (with eight Laurence Olivier Award nominations) and a North American touring company, which will begin in the fall. Now, the Broadway production has received the greatest accolade of all: it will be adapted into a feature film.
Sony Pictures has obtained the rights to the songbook, and Tom Hanks and Gary Goetzman will produce it along with Paul Blake, the lead producer of the Broadway show. Hanks and Goetzman produced also the 2008 hit musical film Mamma Mia! and 1996's That Thing You Do!, so we don't doubt their ability to deliver a contemporary spin on timeless classics.
If you don't already love Carole King's landmark recordings, you'll fall for her life story—it's one rife with inspiration, love, defeats, and triumphs. Here are our suggestions for the actors and actresses capable of bringing Carole King's epic biography to you a theater near you.

BkiUdWI5qYVBL5XJcD-x | A former governor of Plateau State, Jonah Jang, who was detained for questioning by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC has been released on administrative bail.
The anti graft agency on Tuesday grilled the immediate past governor for hours over alleged misappropriation of public funds while he was governor.
Mr. Jang was earlier probed by a committee set up by his successor, Simon Lalong, claiming the former governor misappropriated billions of naira.
A media aide to Mr. Jang, Clinton Garuba, confirmed to newsmen on Wednesday that his principal was released late Tuesday night after several hours in detention.
Garba said he was released on administrative bail.
"Part of the conditions for the administrative bail is the provision of a surety who must hold the position of a director in the civil service," Mr. Garuba said. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

Pro-Satan shrieking is to heavy metal as left-handed relief pitching is to baseball: There's just never enough to go around. Which is why Ronnie James Dio is still finding work. Heavy metal? The guy's got the shelf life of plutonium. Next month, RJD will kick off his fifth decade as a gigging rocker, and in that time he's fronted some of the genre's most cartoonishly dark combos. The prideful Dio left Rainbow in 1978 after Ritchie Blackmore begged him to move away from his trademark wizards 'n' witches themes and start penning love songs. As luck would have it, Black Sabbath at that time just happened to be in the market for a well-coifed antichrist to replace Ozzy Osbourne for its portentously insignificant Heaven and Hell project, and Dio was with the band when it actually recorded a tune called "Stonehenge." His on-again, off-again relationship with Sabbath has kept Dio in the metal vanguard, and provided him with an ever-changing army of directionless white boys who always have their "hook 'em horns" salutes at the ready. Of course, that same salute can be had by pretty much anybody who can wax evil in an upper register. Wail with Dio and openers Division, Trust No One, and Mere Mortals tonight at midnight at Jaxx, 6355 Rolling Rd., Springfield. $20. (703) 569-5940. (Dave McKenna)

BkiUd0vxK2li-LM1SB2g | It has been argued, usually rather informally within the circles of development workers and by some sociologists, that if you superimpose the ethic of doing, with the precision that doing requires, on a society that is more concerned with being, that is struggling with its being, then doing becomes a means of being, is subsumed by being. In other words the doing becomes ritualised: the doing becomes more important than what is done; the movements are emptied of their primary purpose and filled with a purely symbolic one. But that is glib and wrong. It supposes that doing has its own legitimacy, a legitimacy that is independent of being. It doesn't. Western societies are just as concerned with being as any other society. In so far as a society can have a concern. Their doing may perhaps make them forget their being. That is attractive. People in the West certainly are what they do and they do a lot so as to forget who they are, if only for a while. They are happy in the professional roles they write for themselves. That is alright. There is nothing wrong with that.
In any case, being, doing and having are all forms of using, of the body using its environment to cope, maintain and develop itself. Having claims the privilege of use and gives status. Doing uses the environment directly and socialises us, for others might well take a stand on the way someone is using their environment, especially if those others are part of it. And being is a kind of doing and having rolled up into one. To say: I am a man, is to say that I have and do what men have and do. I cannot be withouth having a body and doing things with it. The ritualization of doing having and being can be found everywhere; it just takes different forms depending on the situation. In the West happiness is found in the absorbing charm of having and doing. Is that so different elsewhere? | c4 | 4 | 4 | 5 | 5 |

May 17, 2019 May 17, 2019 admin
Now Sri Dev Suman University B. Ed Entrance Examination will be Held on 30th June
The 2019-21 session of Sri Dev Suman University B.Ed entrance examination will be organized on June 30. Earlier B. Ed entrance test was to be held on June 15 but due to the National Eligibility (NET) Examination on the same date, the change of date in the program has been made.
The date of submission of the examination form has now been postponed by the University from 30th to 15th June. The University has received 5107 applications online so far from the applicants willing to appear for the B.Ed. Entrance exam.
University Vice-Chancellor, Dr U. S. Rawat said that due to the NET Examination, the students demanded the University to change the date of B. Ed entrance examination. That's the reason the University has now decided to conduct the B. Ed entrance exam on 30th June.
He told that the NSS B Certification Examination will be held in the month of June. The forms for NSS B Certificate Examination will be filled in the first week of June. Due to the NSS examination in June, the admission test of the pre-Ph.D will be held in the month of July.
To conduct a copy-free fair main examination in the university ongoing these days, the Vice Chancellor has formed a team of two new flying squads. The female teachers have also been included in the Flying Squad Team. The Vice-Chancellor Dr Rawat said that the objections related to the centres created for the compilation of answer sheets will soon be solved by the University.

BkiUd1DxaKgQLBMQPhh5 | Today has mostly been writing ✍️ so I've not spent much time in the kitchen, bar melting cheese 🧀 on baguette 🥖 with 🌶 jam 🙏🏽. However I've just taken a moment to water 💦 (and admire 💕 - I'm proud that I've kept it alive for so long, if you know me, anything green that enters this house leaves brown 😂) my stunning Chandon Beni plant 🌱, kindly given to me when I interviewed the font of all herb knowledge, Jekka @jekkasherbfarm for @saturday.kitchen last year. It's growing beautifully now (needs minimal watering) but definitely needs to be repotted into something a little larger. I have been too nervous to take a leaf off to use, but I think this evening I'm going to blitz some with simple @iowtomatoes tomato 🍅 passatta and lots of garlic to have simply over buttered pasta 🍝. If you know you know, it is a key source of flavour to so much of the delicious cuisine in Trinidad 🇹🇹 and generally the Caribbean. Think a wild form of coriander, earthier, punchier and just utterly sublime. Just touching a leaf leaves the most pungent aromas on your fingers 💚.
Jekka's blue, a fabulous afternoon with Jekka at the wonderful herb farm. Leaving with a tingling tongue from all the fabulous flavours! Thank you for a very exciting introduction to your herb world and for the brew! | c4 | 3 | 1 | 4 | 1 |

On Friday afternoon at our clubhouse we have "Happy Hour". Sometimes there is live music. Other times our lifestyle director has us playing some sort of wild party game.

BkiUdpg5qdmDHWQtrMII | The US State Department has lost archived copies of emails sent to and from the man believed to have maintained Hillary Clinton's private email server during her four years as Secretary of State.
The Hill adds context to the utterly embarrassing circumstances regarding the US State Department's inability to locate the elusive .pst email file for former Secretary of State Hilary Clinton.
Between winning six coin tosses in Iowa to best Bernie Sanders, to having her email communication go missing, one could say that Mrs. Clinton is an extremely charmed Presidential candidate.
"The department has searched for Mr. Pagliano's email pst file and has not located one that covers the time period of Secretary Clinton's tenure," (US State Department spokeswoman Elizabeth) Trudeau said in a statement early on Monday evening. A pst file is a format for preserving email messages.
The State Department had previously told Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) that it could not find any backups of Pagliano's email as part of a congressional probe in December, but its acknowledgment of the missing files on Monday nonetheless inflamed criticism of the agency's recordkeeping practices.
Trudeau declined to comment on how or whether Pagliano stored his emails, or whether he might have decided to delete them after a certain period of time.
"It is not required for employees to save every email they sent and received, however they must preserve federal records," she told reporters during the daily State Department briefing.
The RNC demanded the IT aide's records as part of a lawsuit under the Freedom of Information Act filed earlier this year. The RNC went to court to obtain emails to and from Pagliano, among other records connected to Clinton's time in office, as part of what is likely to be a protracted attack on the likely Democratic presidential nominee.
The State Department's claim that it has found at least some messages to and from Pagliano, presumably through the accounts of other people that he communicated with, is at odds with a RNC filing earlier in the day, which made a more sweeping assertion.
"[T]he State Department has represented that no responsive records exist … [of] [a]ny and all emails sent to, or sent by, Bryan Pagliano for the time period May 1, 2009 through February 1, 2013," the RNC said in a filing as part of the court case.
The State Department's Monday evening statement, which came hours after the department first addressed the missing emails, seemed to take issue with the RNC's description of its position.
In addition to the emails, the State Department also does not have any text messages or BlackBerry Messenger messages sent to or from Clinton during her time in office, the RNC claimed. The State Department declined to discuss that declaration.
On Monday, federal Judge Amy Berman Jackson gave the State Department until May 23 to declare when it would hand documents over to the RNC or to file another motion.
Pagliano has emerged as a key figure in the growing saga surrounding Clinton's controversial email setup.
After working on her 2008 campaign, Pagliano is reported to have set up the server in her Chappaqua, N.Y., home the following year and maintained it throughout her tenure as the nation's top diplomat.
Earlier this year, the Justice Department granted Pagliano immunity in exchange for his cooperation with the FBI investigation connected to Clinton's server, and the possibility that classified information may have been mishandled.
The Duran's Alex Christoforou and Editor-in-Chief Alexander Mercouris discuss tweets made by former US President Barack Obama and former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton following the Easter terrorist attacks in Sri Lanka, which left 290 dead and more than 500 injured on the South Asian island, targeted Christian churches and functions in the country's capital.
Conservative media slammed Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton in the wake of the Sri Lankan terror attacks, but that very same media has pushed for regime change in Syria and the overthrow of Assad, whose secular government has protected Christians in the region.
Only Fox News' Tucker Carlson was brave enough to call out the media hypocrisy, in what has become a war against Christianity from both the establishment, neocon right and neoliberal left.
Former President Barack Obama and 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton are under fire from conservative commentators for calling the victims of Sunday's Sri Lanka bombings "Easter worshippers" in offering their condolences.
Co-host Pete Hegseth said, "This hasn't stopped, isn't stopping, you're seeing desecration of religious sites and attacks in Europe. You've seen it in the Middle East, Christian churches, Christians, Jews targeted directly, and it's radical islamists. You got to get at the ideology and then you got to find them and get rid of them too.
"What was supposed to be a joyful Easter Sunday was marred by a horrific wave of Islamic radical terror and bloodshed," Pompeo said at a news conference at the State Department.
"But sadly, this evil exists in the world and the United States and all of its partners that are cooperating in the de-ISIS campaign, some 80 countries, and other nations too that are assisting us in defeating this terrorism around the world, we have to remain active and vigilant and it's going to require attention. There is no doubt about that," Pompeo added.
Trump tweeted sympathies for Sri Lanka early Sunday morning, but with one major mistake. "Heartfelt condolences from the people of the United States to the people of Sri Lanka on the horrible terrorist attacks on churches and hotels that have killed at least 138 million people and badly injured 600 more. We stand ready to help," the president said.
Trump later deleted the tweet and posted a corrected version with the 138 figure, which is now close to 300, corrected.
Trump pledged American support to Sri Lanka in bringing the perpetrators of the coordinated bombing attack "to justice" during a call with Sri Lankan Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe, a White House spokesman said on Monday.
Sri Lanka's president has given the military sweeping war-time powers to arrest and detain suspects following a series of Easter Sunday bombings that killed at least 290 people.
President Maithripala Sirisena's office announced late Monday that the measure would take effect at midnight. In addition, a government curfew was to begin at 8 p.m.
On Monday, armed security personnel stood guard on street corners in central Colombo that were largely deserted, with most shops closed.
Provisions that granted police powers to the military had been withdrawn at the end of Sri Lanka's civil war, which ended in 2009.
Sri Lanka's minister of tourism says 39 foreign tourists were killed in the Easter Sunday attacks on churches and hotels, while another 28 were wounded.
He said Sri Lanka's tourism industry and the government was doing everything possible to ensure the safety of those in the country.
A total of nine bombings Sunday killed at least 290 people and wounded about 500 more.
Pope Francis is asking everyone to join him in condemning the "inhuman" Easter Sunday bombings in Sri Lanka.
Greeting faithful in St. Peter's Square on Monday, Francis also invited prayers for the victims of the attacks, including at least 290 dead and some 500 wounded.
Expressing his fraternal closeness to the people of Sri Lanka, Francis encouraged people not to hesitate to offer all necessary assistance in the wake of the nine bombings, which devastated three churches during Easter services and three hotels filled with tourists.
A day earlier, after celebrating Easter Mass in the square, Francis had expressed his sorrow and dismay over the attacks. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 4 | 2 |

In 1988, SEGA Games Co., Ltd., a multinational videogame developer, originated from Japan that has foreign branches in America, and Europe created The Sega Genesis that was initially released in Japan. It was the third console issued by Sega that operates in a 16-bit game board. Sega Genesis has distinct terms per country such as Mega Drive in Japan, and Super Aladdin Boy in South Korea.
The Sega Genesis uses a Motorola 68000 operating in 7.6MHz and Zilog 800 running in 3.58MHz as the console's central processing unit. The console also utilizes a ROM Cartridge as its media that functions as the device's memory card that stores data such as the game's development and the player's scores. Sega Genesis' Display interface has 256x224 NTSC, 256x240 PAL pixels, 512 color palettes with 61 colors on-screen. Sega Genesis is equipped with a Yamaha YM2612 or OPN2, a sound chip manufactured by Yamaha and a Texas Instruments SN76489 that is responsible for the Genesis sound generator. This design of Sega Genesis was directed by Hideki Sato and Masami Ishikawa from the R&D Team.
Back in 1988, The Sega Genesis launched in Japan was dominated by Nintendo's Super Family Computer. However, it did great in North America, Europe, and Brazil. The game that caused Genesis' popularity is their Sonic the Hedgehog series that's been franchise by most youth market and sports distributorships, noting the game as a youth-friendly console.
In 1991, Nintendo's Super Family Computer became a tough opponent for Sega Genesis in the United States and Europe console market, this results in Sega creating video games that involve brutalities such as Night Trap and Mortal Kombat.
There is an entirety of 30.75 Million units of Genesis marketed worldwide before it was terminated in 1997. From the year 1992 to present, third-party Genesis continued being traded at AtGames in North America and Europe. | commoncrawl | 4 | 2 | 2 | 1 |

BkiUdvM4eIXh0sNxxHS6 | Earlier this summer I went on a fun shoot for a stevedoring company (the guys who load and unload ships) and I had a chance to get a shot of one of Montreal's iconic buildings from an angle rarely seen.
Shooting in the shipping yards was hectic and felt a bit like being in a war zone. Actually it felt like being an ant in a land of giants as mega-forklifts whizzed past hoisting up containers and stacking them one on top of the other in a life-sized game of Tetris.
I was wearing safety gear – a reflective vest and helmet and had to pass through strict security on the way in, accompanied by my client. Once on the ground, I realized how important it was to follow all the safety regulations and literally stay within the lines. My client is the only company in the Port of Montreal with a huge loading crane that looked to me like one of the spaceships in Tron. I was able to climb up to the main walkway, a few hundred feet above the ground and take aerial shots of all the activitiy in the facility, as well as grab this unique shot of the Five Roses building from an angle most Montreal photographers will never have a chance to get.
I like shooting onsite for clients with big industrial facilities. One of the advantages of being a professional freelance photographer in a great port city like Montreal is the chance to visit factories, plants and places where the GDP is actually being made. I've been lucky to have many such opportunities and having been in many industrial locations as a facilities photographer, I never take any chances with safety. I always keep safety foremost in mind when shooting on location and know that it is especially important in industrial sites where there is a lot of activity and you are an out of the ordinary appearance. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUdg85qX_AYt7X0LvZ | Grounded Air NZ passengers should get refunds
We're calling on Air NZ to do the right thing.
This week, Air New Zealand backed down and agreed to refund all passengers on cancelled US flights after we called out the company's practices.
Flight rules in the US are clear: passengers travelling to or from the States are entitled to a refund if their flight is cancelled, regardless of the reason. However, Air New Zealand was telling some customers they could only get a credit.
The airline's backdown is good news for customers on grounded US flights. But we want Air New Zealand to take the next step and offer refunds to customers on all flights cancelled due to Covid-19.
Thousands of Kiwis flying to destinations other than the US have only got credits. Why? Because our laws don't require airlines to provide refunds when flights are cancelled for reasons outside their control, such as the Covid-19 pandemic.
We think Air New Zealand should do the right thing by its loyal customers and offer refunds. We're writing to the airline asking it to do just that.
If you've had an Air New Zealand flight cancelled due to the lockdown, we want to hear about it. Tell us if you've got your money back or you've been stuck with a credit.

Fuel supply rort
Half way through lockdown the LPG cylinder runs out. My wife goes to to local service station for a refill as normal but is told they are not refilling now but offered a swap a cylinder. To fill a 9kg from empty is normally $35. They charged her $39 to swap. It might only be $4 but how many others did they sting as well? I have taken the time to phone as many other locals to pass on to their friends that this business seeks to take advantage of them. This is a small town so word travels fast. Buy local - not from these vultures

Hair Dressing Rip off
My wife went to her hairdressers this week and just as she sat in the chair she was advised there was a covid surcharge as there was more work required than normal. $40 was the surcharge. She is not one to make a scene but will not be going back. She had a conversation with the hairdresser when making the booking the surcharge was never mentioned. Hair looks great though...

BkiUc785qsBC7daIegbv | The Contemporary trap music becomes the order of the day as every artist tries to bring a different spice of it and unless done by dexterous acts like KJ and Tweeka it's just a norm like every other.
These two acts had an excellent delivery which would make a listener want to press the coloured box containing 1 in their music player having the song on replay.

BkiUfKDxK2li-HhsA3Rj | The protagonist of Melissa M. Garcia's Luc Actar book series is the product of what may seem like an inverted career progression. Given today's Fourth Estate economics, it could make more sense for him to have segued from journalism to hot-wiring Hondas, not the other way around.
When detectives arrive to inform Luc of the death of his father, Luc is hesitant to get involved. But once he discovers a powerful leader in the mental health industry is pulling the strings in his father's investigation, Luc is determined to tear him down. As he chases the demons of his past, Luc unknowingly steps right into the crosshairs of a killer determined to keep his own life from falling apart.
Author Garcia launched the series in 2006 with Falling Angels. A native of La Mirada, she earned a B.A. in English and Literature from Cal State Long Beach. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |
