BkiUdgA5qYVBjcNb11lx | Do not grow crops for energy instead of food. That is the message of a new report from the World Resources Institute (WRI), which claims that dedicating crops to generating bioenergy is too inefficient to solve energy crises and makes it harder to sustainably feed the planet.
"Bioenergy is an inefficient use of land," reads the report. "Because every time we dedicate land to bioenergy, we sacrifice the opportunity to use that land for some other human need, ranging from food to carbon storage."
The world already faces agricultural pressures, as a growing population will require 70% more food by 2050. And meeting bio-energy targets — such as providing 20% percent of the world's total energy demand by 2050 — whilst feeding nine billion people would require humanity to at least double the world's annual crop production.
The WRI points to solar PV as an efficient technology that can deliver the sustainable results that bioenergy reportedly cannot. Even fast growing crops only convert around 0.2% of solar radiation into ethanol, while solar PV is exponentially more efficient, the report says.
"On three-quarters of the world's land, PV systems today can generate more than 100 times the useable energy per hectare than bioenergy is likely to produce in the future even using optimistic assumptions. "And unlike bioenergy, solar energy works great in deserts and on rooftops without competing for fertile land."
Responding to the argument that solar — unlike biofuels — cannot be used as transport fuel, the WRI claims the efficiency of electric motors allows solar PV to generate 200 to 300 times as much energy per hectare for vehicle transport. Bioenergy, by contrast, is so 'inefficient' that burning the entirety of the world's crops would fulfil just 20% of the world's energy needs in 2050.
The WRI report comes just one week after the director-general of the UN Food and Agriculture Organization threw his weight behind biofuels. Speaking at the Global Forum for Food and Agriculture, Graziano da Silva said: "It is important not to forget that biofuels emerged with strength as an alternative energy source because of the need to mitigate fossil fuel production and greenhouse gases - and that need has not changed.
"We need to move from the food versus fuel debate to a food and fuel debate...biofuels should not be simply seen as a threat or as a magical solution"
Da Silva's comments were reinforced by a University of Utrecht study which found that the risk of inefficient land-use can be mitigated and even prevented when biofuels are produced from high-yield crops on currently under-utilised land. The study calls on policymakers to incentivize the use of these types of biofuels within EU biofuels policy. | c4 | 5 | 3 | 5 | 4 |

BkiUfg05qhLBtiOLdAgd | (JTA)—For years, American Jewish groups have agitated for more religious pluralism in Israel. And year after year, the Israeli government has acted as if the country's demographic and political realities make any kind of substantial reform impossible.
But two-thirds of Jewish Israelis support separation of religion and state, representing an increase of 10 percentage points since 2012. Seventy percent back government recognition of all forms of marriage, including civil marriage— an increase from 53 percent in 2009. Sixty-six percent support the three major denominations of Judaism—Orthodox, Conservative and Reform—enjoying equal status in Israel.
The survey does have some good news for fans of Israel's religious status quo. On issue after issue—from conversion to marriage to kosher certification—younger respondents favored more traditionalist policies than their elders. While more than 80 percent of respondents over age 50 support separation of religion and state in Israel, for example, only 42 percent of those under 29 do.
And while only 22 percent of Israelis identify as religious or haredi—and 13 percent self-identify as Conservative or Reform—a greater part of the population has traditional religious tendencies. Nearly half of Jewish Israelis observe Shabbat partially or fully. And given the choice between different types of weddings, most would still opt to be married in an Orthodox ceremony— either under the Chief Rabbinate's auspices or outside of it.
"If they waver between party A and party B, and party A took a strong stand on this issue, it's going to win brownie points with the voters," Regev says, adding, however, that "It will depend on what happens, to a great degree, shortly before the elections," which are scheduled for next year.
Whether or not they vote on religious issues, Jewish Israelis say they want Diaspora Jewry's help in advancing religious pluralism. Two-thirds expressed support for Diaspora groups "working to strengthen religious freedom and pluralism in Israel." That includes 65 percent of those who voted for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the 2015 election. Netanyahu froze a compromise last year— backed by American Jewish groups—that would have expanded a non-Orthodox prayer plaza at the Western Wall. | c4 | 4 | 3 | 5 | 3 |
BkiUasDxK7FjYEB4TDEp | The Eldridge, a gigantic interplanetary emigrant spacecraft, suffered a sudden shipwide systems malfunction. On the monitors that warned of the ensuing danger, a mysterious shadow flickered for but an instant. Before the spacecraft's crew could respond, someone or something had taken over their entire ship.
As the passengers and crew attempted to evacuate, the spacecraft's own laser cannons coldly turned and shot them down. The captain had no choice but to activate the ship's self-destruct mechanism. In a flash of light, the spacecraft fell to a nearby planet.
Born from the fallen wreckage, 'she' slowly arose, her long hair blowing in the wind as her eyes reflected the dawn's breaking light. Reflecting the start of the day that 'god' and 'humankind' fell to earth.

BkiUdFI5qhDBPdB3YWIj | The consumer goods company has 8,000 employees and internationally recognized brands.
Overall in the market, brands are growing their Direct-to-Consumer sales as consumers increasingly seek to engage directly with brands, and receive personalized product and service offers. They have brought wholesale and B2C together, changing a siloed approach into one synergistic, consumer-driven organization. Now their B2C sales are integrated into each region's business.
Changing consumer shopping habits and practices have led to a transformation in the consumer goods company. The strategic initiative "Omni-channel drives growth" includes choices 1) be found online, 2) win at winning accounts, 3) focus on the best specialists, 4) accelerate B2C, 5) provide exceptional consumer experience and 6) create a new winning culture.
They know that the world is changing at a rapid pace. The whole industry is also going through a transformation. To be successful, they need to adapt and challenge themselves to learn and develop every day.
A leadership team has been trained on, how to create a new winning culture. The challenge is that every also every "John and Jill" needs to be involved.
At the same time, there are a lot of ongoing changes in the large corporation. There are corporate level initiatives, group, and business level changes, and of course current daily work with individual and team sales targets. Typically when John and Jill feel that it's too much, they must concentrate on daily work and postpone development.
behavioral priorities which John and Jill's understand make learning and development part of our daily routine.
In the NOOA platform, there are virtual coaches which keeps learning and development as an ongoing process. Every week findings and conclusions were discussed with the team leader and recommendation how team leader could support and communicate to foster team with the challenge and reach team sales targets. Every three weeks the virtual coaching sessions with the whole team were held to discuss key learnings and share best practices.
Every team member reached their annual targets including sales targets.
The team members now feel that they are on a "team" even though they all work and live remotely in the field and only see each other in person a few times per year.
The collaboration and idea sharing is at an all-time high. Each person now feels like they can count on a teammate for advice and help in the daily activities. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 5 | 2 |

BkiUc7U5qhLA44UP_Qf5 | Displaced Voices
Displaced Voices is an OSJ initiative that brings together refugees and asylum seekers with professional musicians and university students through hands-on musical participation.
December 2018 - December 2019
Charity information: orchestra of st john's ltd
Mental health in Immigration Removal Centres is a serious issue and it has been demonstrated that musical participation can have a meaningful impact on those struggling with mental health issues.
For more information see the 2016 UK Immigration Detention Profile https://www.globaldetentionproject.org/countries/europe/united-kingdom
Music-making has been shown to support good mental health and bridge cultural barriers by bringing people together in non-verbal communal activity. Both of these are significant issues for refugees and asylum seekers - particularly those in detention. We will be working with detainees in Campsfield House Immigration Removal Centre and in schools in Oxfordshire.
To support music-making with residents of Campsfield House IRC and refugees resident in OX
» OSJ will engage refugees and asylum seekers through the established method of group improvisation. It requires no formal musical training
This project will be conducted in collaboration with students at the University of Oxford to document the outcomes of this type of collaborative music-making in IRC environments
Our Director of Community Engagement will co-host a knowledge-exchange workshop in Oxford for individuals throughout the country who are engaged in musical projects and refugees/asylum seekers. This includes musical practitioners, facilities coordinators, funders, trainers, activists and researchers.
We are always at risk of trying to do too much, and our available management resources will be stressed.
We must also fund raise for each element of the project.
Through bulletins on our website, and through targeted emails to donors and invitations to visit project sessions.
£7,600 16 sessions 2 months of weekly 3-hour music-making sessions with two groups of refugees/asylum seekers
£6,000 fees for professional musicians
£2,000 travel costs to and from immigration centres
£1,600 composer four days of workshops
£550 scores creating printed scores for the players
£2,250 admin admin
£5,000 events in Oxford and London
Current Funding / Pledges
Arts Council £15,000 Guaranteed
Throughout Oxfordshire - in the Universities, Music Hub, community centres, special schools. Not Jjust in Oxford, but throughout the county from Banbury to Didcot.
Through this work we anticipate making a positive impact on the lives and wellbeing of 100+ of our newest community members - asylum seekers living in detention in Oxfordshire
John Lubbock founded the OSJ in 1967 as a classical chamber orchestra and choir to genuinely serve the community through a range of activities from public performances to work with people with autism or dementia and support for young performers.

BkiUa3nxaJJQnHaRvVgk | Campus crime continues over break
Published on January 20, 2015 at 1:09 am Last update on January 20, 2015 at 2:06 am
By Wynne Davis
Although thousands of students left campus over winter break, UTPD stayed active because crime never takes a vacation. The most common offenses reported by UTPD were criminal trespassing, public intoxication and bike theft.
During the five-week break from classes, UT police officers responded to multiple in-progress bicycle thefts and recovered additional stolen bicycles. Other thefts that occurred included thefts of laptop computers left unattended on University property, as well as University-owned computers that were not locked properly in rooms on campus. Here are some of the highlights and trends of winter break crime:
Jan. 1, officers were alerted about a bicycle theft that took place at the Perry-Castañeda Library. The bike was recovered after they found a non-UT subject riding the bike off campus.
Jan. 7, a non-UT subject was found pulling on bicycles parked outside of the Winship Drama Building.
Jan. 12, bed sheets, a comforter and clothes were reported missing from a laundry room inside San Jacinto Residence Hall.
Officers also responded to a report of missing bacon on Jan. 13, after two boxes of bacon and sausages were stolen from a storage room in the O'Donnell Jr. Building.
UTPD officers found non-UT subjects in the Jester Academic Center and other university buildings over break and cited them for criminal trespassing. The majority of criminal trespassing offenses happened between the hours of 12 a.m. and 8 a.m. The officers wrote most subjects criminal trespass warnings but took some subjects with prior warnings into custody.
In one incident, police sent a group of six high school students back to school when they were found skipping class.
Traffic violators were also issued tickets for driving while intoxicated, driving without a valid driver's license and driving without insurance. In emails sent to faculty, staff and students, UTPD said it is promoting the city's new ordinance prohibiting the use of handheld cell phones while driving. The ordinance applies to both drivers and bicyclists, although UTPD officers will not enforce it on campus.
Police also alerted the UT community to a number of email scams that targeted university students, faculty and staff by capturing their employee login information and then making changes to route their paycheck money to the scam artist's bank account instead. UTPD has not reported any scam cases involving UT students, faculty or staff. | commoncrawl | 4 | 1 | 5 | 2 |

BkiUdE85qoTA0iwhHETi | Wave WiFi, a leader in marine wireless connectivity has teamed up with 4ocean to help keep their fleet of boats online as they work to rid the oceans of plastic.
Wave WiFi has a full array of marine antennas, Ethernet Converters and Marine Network Controllers that help boaters stay connected further offshore and manage their network. Their WiFi products provide the fastest connection speeds available and come in 2.4GHZ single band, or 2.4GHz and 5GHz Dual Band configurations. Wave's MBR550 auto-failover router has a built in Global SIM card slot that can automatically switch to Cellular connections when out of WiFi range. The MBR 550 is also compatible with a host of satellite systems and can be set to default to satellite when Cellular and WiFi are not available. By partnering with 4ocean Wave WiFi supports their efforts toward global ocean cleanup and keeps their vessels connected in a cost-effective manner.
4ocean has cleaned the ocean and coastlines in 27 countries so far! They team up with local fishermen and have a fleet of boats as well as shoreside equipment to help accomplish the work. The 4ocean Caribbean team is more than 80 people strong and continues to grow. The team strives to pull around 3,000 pounds of plastic and trash from the ocean and coastlines of the Caribbean every single day.
Jeff Graham, President, Wave WiFi.
Based in Oakland Park, Florida. Wave WiFi has been offering high tech mobile WiFi solutions for the marine market for over 14 years. The initial product offering was a limited line of extended range, mobile WiFi systems launched in 2004. Many new products followed over the years including waterproof external antennas, routers, and access points for inside the vessel, dual band solutions, and now 3G/4G cellular receivers. Today Wave WiFi produces a wide range of products that help boaters, RV owners, marinas, and anyone needing access to mobile internet, easy and effective connectivity, performance, and reliability.
With their US headquarters in the coastal city of Boca Raton the 4ocean movement has been cleaning the ocean and coastlines since January 2017. Not only did they pull their first pound of trash in Florida, but that is the location of their Global Fulfillment Center and first Cleanup Operations Facility. International Headquarters are in Bali, Indonesia, where the founders first had the idea to build 4ocean. This tropical island has some of the most beautiful beaches on the planet, but many are also heavily polluted by ocean plastic. Since opening, cleanup efforts are growing, new economies are being created, and local communities are being educated on sustainability so we can solve this global problem together. This shift is also quite apparent where they've recently set-up land-based operations in the Philippines, and now in Haiti. 4ocean currently operates in over 27 countries and employs over 150 people worldwide. Each of these locations is a crucial part of their ongoing mission to clean the ocean and coastlines…one pound at a time.
Wave WiFi was featured in the April/May 2019 Issue of BoatUS Magazine. The article entitled, Work From Almost Anywhere Onboard, discusses how Florida lawyer Jim Leshaw installed an onboard wireless network that allows him to work from many remote locations including the Bahamas for less than $2,500.
After some research, Jim equipped his vessel with an onboard network that allows multiple devices, such as laptop computers, tablets, and smartphones to connect to distant Wi-Fi stations or cellular networks even when he is cruising the coast.

BkiUcMU25V5hdn6rQxm9 | Swimming: China's Ye Shiwen, who flopped in 200m IM, happier after 400m IM heats
https://str.sg/wADB
BARCELONA (REUTERS) - Chinese teenager Ye Shiwen was third-quickest in heats for the women's 400 metres individual medley at the world championships on Sunday as she looks to make up for the disappointment of missing out on a medal over 200 metres.
The 17-year-old, Olympic champion over both distances in London last year, could only manage fourth in Monday's 200m final, Katinka Hosszu of Hungary taking the gold.
Ahead of the 400m final later on Sunday, the last day of racing in Barcelona, Hosszu posted the fastest qualifying time of 4min 32.72sec, with Spain's Mireia Belmonte Garcia second in 4:34.64 and Ye third in 4:34.93.
"It was a smoother swim this time," Ye told reporters. "My coach told me just to do my best and relax more because I was too nervous.
"I have to put up more of a fight and make sure I do it right in the final."
In heats for the men's 400m medley, American Chase Kalisz posted the fastest time of 4:11.87, with Daiya Seto of Japan second in 4:12.96 and American Tyler Clary third in 4:13.55.
There were few surprises in qualifying for the men's 4x100m medley relay final, with the United States, Australia, Russia and France quickest.
However, the French and Italian women's teams were disqualified from their 4x100m medley heats as the Americans, Australians and Chinese advanced to the final with the fastest times. | commoncrawl | 5 | 1 | 4 | 1 |

when I run this code, I get the result as expected. But when I was going through some online forums, I came to know that scanning is expensive compared to querying. But I'm unable to know on how can I change my query from scan to query. Here my primary key is ID. please let me know on how can I do this.
Thanks
A: Scan operation is more expensive comparing to query operation, in terms of performance as well as costing. Dynamodb calculates cost based on the number of read capacity units consumed for processing not on number of records returned.
Query operation finds value based on primary key (Hash) or composite primary key (Hash key and Sort Key).
Your schema should be redesigned with composite primary key(Hash key and Sort Key).
Its not neccessary to have column Id as primary Key like old school RDBMS. If you are not using Id effectively remove that column from your schema and redefine it with some other attributes. For an example am using Market Category (market_category ) as Hash Key & Price Range (price_range) as Range Key.
var params = {
"TableName": 'CarsData',
"ConsistentRead": true,
//Composite Primary Key in Key Condition Expression
"KeyConditionExpression": "#market_category = :market_category AND #price_range = :price_range",
//Remaining column in filter expression
"FilterExpression": '#vehicle_size = :vehicle_size and #transmission_type = :transmission_type and #doors = :doors',
"ExpressionAttributeNames": {
"#market_category": "market_category",
"#vehicle_size": "vehicle_size",
"#transmission_type": "transmission_type",
"#price_range": "price_range",
"#doors": "doors"
},
"ExpressionAttributeValues": {
":market_category": body.market_category,
":vehicle_size": body.vehicle_size,
":transmission_type": body.transmission_type,
":price_range": body.price_range,
":doors": body.doors
}
}
dynamodb.query(params).promise()
.then(function (data) {
console.log(data);
}).catch(function (err) {
console.log(err);
});
Hope this example will give you insights about using composite primary key,
Based on your usage choose the widely used columns for Hash & Range key.

✦ In 2005 ENT International filed for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11 in the US and progressively closed or sold all of its international operations. The quick collapse of the company led to a fire-sale of most of ENT's assets. In the months following the Chapter 11 filing, the liquidation team split the enormous sale across a number of auction dealers.
These are some of the objects1 listed in the the bankruptcy auction held in 2005 at Square Mile Auctions. The small London-based auction house was hired late in the process to deal with low to mid-valued items and leftovers from previous auctions. Among the large number of typical corporate assets, the SMA dealers discovered a few unique items that are now highly valued collectibles.
This unabridged reprint of the SMA auction catalogue from that time2 provides a detailed insight into the inner workings of one of the world's largest corporations. It brings the keen observer one step closer to unravelling the secrets behind one the biggest bankruptcies in recent times.
Above: Square Mile Auctions' original catalogue from 2005.
Left: Stock performance kinetic picture frame. Lot of 10 picture frames containing a mechanism of 130 threaded steel rods and highly polished steel slits manipulated by the knobs at the bottom of the frame. When adjusted, the slits are meant to illustrate ENT International's stock performance twice per week over one entire year. The frames are signed and numbered on the back.
3 pairs of custom made Salvatore Ferragamo 6cm high heel shoes size 6. Black patent leather, fine stitching details. High-quality clear leather inner lining. Each left shoe features a retractable electronic key device in the heel. Late entry lot, believed to be part of CFO Sherron Tischler's personal collection. Two pairs present some traces of usage, the remaining five are in pristine condition. Sold as seen, great collectible item(s).
This lot consists of an off-the-shelf viewfinder, plugged into some sort of digital tuning device with the words FTSE, DAX, HSI, DSM200, PHLX/KBW, MIBTEL, NIKKEI, NYSE, NASDAQ etched on. There is no documentation provided, although it is believed that these devices were secretly owned by a small number of executives and used for monitoring stocks and other financial products too sensitive to be displayed on-screen or retrieved on the company's computers.
Lot of 30 Careco CC600 narcotic vaporisers featuring biometric identification via an integrated IriScan system. The CC600 was produced sparingly and sold to a very limited number of corporate customers. The double nozzle system is automatically sanitized after each use. The chosen narcotic is easily refilled by removing the front panel which is secured by an electronic lock at the bottom of the casing.

BkiUfT025V5jQ-dgBUcE | If you ever see a candy-apple-red tandem bicycle cruising through the streets of Winnipeg, you can be sure it's the Dueck family.
Freedom Concepts has been designing and building bikes for people with disabilities since 1991. The Winnipeg company starts from scratch, welding all of its own frames and getting all the upholstery done onsite. It builds every bike to custom order, assembling each piece in a unique combination based on the rider's needs.
It also builds what are called "custom custom" projects. Instead of using the typical custom parts the company regularly makes, the team designs and creates each part from scratch to produce a one-of-a-kind bike. In 2016, Freedom Concepts made a bike for conjoined twins in British Columbia.
These are some of Colin Bock's favourite projects. He is lead engineer at Freedom Concepts and has worked there for 14 years. Bock, who attends First Mennonite Church in Winnipeg, loves the tricky bike orders because he really gets to know the clients through conversations with them, their parents and their therapists.
One of his most memorable projects of 2018 was a bike for a boy born with no arms. The team brainstormed by riding a bike around the workshop, testing out different ideas.
Larry Penner, plant manager, configured the bike so it could be steered with his knees and sent a video to the family of himself riding the bike with his arms hanging at his sides, using only his legs to steer. The boy loved it. He loved the freedom he could have, without any straps or harnesses holding him back.
The team even got to meet the boy when he visited the workshop a few times.
"There is no person that we will not try to build a bike for," says Penner.
Bock works from Winnipeg while his clients are across North America and even international, so it's special when he gets to see the effect his work has. "When you can see the individual that you designed your product for actually successfully using the product, then you remember that," he says.
Megan absolutely loves riding her bike. Other than being a lot of fun, it is an important tool that helps her develop muscle tone. A short ride for her is about three kilometres.
Megan and her parents often end up at a stretch of railway tracks to watch the trains go by, something Megan loves to do.
Before Megan owned her bike, she and her parents were part of a group that tested tandem bikes for Freedom Concepts while they were in development. Children's Rehabilitation Foundation in Winnipeg also had tandem bikes from the company on loan during the summer, which the Duecks used many times. Megan was finally able to own her own bike through funding from the Foundation.
Dueck says her family is grateful for all the work Freedom Concepts has done for them. "Freedom Concepts has been really, really good to us," she says. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUde66NNjgB1scYs9e | Fluence Announces Strawberry Research Results, Revealing Higher Yields and Better Plant Quality Under Broad-Spectrum Lighting Strategies
by Bioenterprise
AUSTIN, Texas–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Fluence by OSRAM (Fluence), a leading global provider of energy-efficient LED lighting solutions for commercial cannabis and food production, announced results from its year-long strawberry research in collaboration with Delphy Improvement Centre (Delphy), an independent institute and expert in food and flowers located in Bleiswijk, the Netherlands. Together, Fluence and Delphy studied how Fluence's LED lighting solutions impact strawberry production in greenhouses.
As grocers push produce suppliers to deliver fresh, high-quality crops year-round, growers are increasingly exploring how to allocate high-tech greenhouse space to strawberries, which are typically grown outdoors or in hoop houses (small, semi-portable structures). Fluence and Delphy examined how to sustainably grow strawberry crops in high-tech greenhouse environments while maximizing yield and fruit quality.
"Results from our collaboration with Delphy are showing that strawberries thrive under predominantly white spectra, creating opportunities for greenhouse growers to introduce new, efficient lighting strategies into their facilities," said David Hawley, Ph.D, principal scientist for Fluence. "Strawberry cultivars grown under a broad-spectrum with a fraction of far-red saw taller crops, wider canopies, higher overall yields and increased Brix values. As with all crops and individual cultivars, there is no ubiquitous lighting strategy for optimizing plant yield and quality. However, our global research endeavors continue to showcase the power of optimized lighting solutions for the world's most popular crops."
Fluence and Delphy researchers analyzed morphology, yield and quality for Sonata and Sonsation cultivars—two of the most popular cultivars in Europe—under four spectral strategies: white (Fluence PhysioSpec™ R4), white with a fraction of far-red (R4 + FR), pink (R8), and pink with the same fraction of far-red (R8 + FR). Overall, during the winter flush, spectra that included a fraction of far-red saw increased performance across all categories. However, the white spectrum with a fraction of far-red recorded the best performance across categories:
Sonata and Sonsation cultivars saw 68% and 40% taller crops as well as 28% and 29% wider canopies, respectively, under a white spectrum with a fraction of far-red in relation to a pink spectrum. Taller and wider crops are easier to harvest and enable better air movement across plants, discouraging pathogens that would thrive in more dense, humid environments.
Similarly, Sonata and Sonsation cultivars grown under a white spectrum with a fraction of far-red saw 11% and 14% higher cumulative yields (including plant "waste" that can be used for jams, juice or preserves) relative to those grown under a pink spectrum.
Researchers also reported that Sonata and Sonsation cultivars grown under a white spectrum with a fraction of far-red had 14% and 6% higher Brix values, respectively, than cultivars grown under a pink spectrum.
"Produce managers at grocers and other retailers seek quality and consistency from their suppliers—consistency that a high-tech greenhouse facility is built to provide," said David Cohen, CEO of Fluence. "Greenhouses create safe, clean and controlled environments. With an optimized lighting strategy, growers can produce crops with delicious flavors that consumers demand and yields that enable store shelves to remain stocked year-round."

BkiUdx45qdmB63LOEeXO | Bad Voltage is the most eccentric book I read last year, and maybe ever. it is certainly the most cyberpunk book I've ever read. It has everything that could be asked from the classic 80's genre: Ku Fu, Skating, Rasta slang, hacking, acrobatics, and that's just the protagonist! Bad Voltage is like a Warhammer 40k or Star Wars novel. It is literary candy: You won't be intellectually challenged, but it won't disappoint. Where this book really shines are the action scenes: chases, fights, war games, riots, terror attacks, infiltration attempts.
So I recommend this book to someone who likes cyberpunk imagery, and wants a light read with some over the top elements. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 2 |

BkiUaTU25V5hcJY56dqf | Bracket Challenge users haven't been afraid to pick Florida Gulf Coast to beat UNC.
A 16 seed has never beaten a 1 seed in NCAA tournament history, but college basketball fans are feeling as confident as ever that trend is going to end soon.
Prior to the 2016 NCAA tournament, we dug into the previous five years of data from the Capital One March Madness Bracket Challenge and every year fans picked at least one 16 to beat a 1 seed more than the year before.
Well, the data from this year's game is in, and the optimism for a David-Goliath upset is at an all-time high.
Since we started tracking data, our two most picked 16-1 upsets are from this year: Florida Gulf Coast to beat North Carolina and Hampton to beat Virginia. In total three 16 seeds were picked by at least two percent of Bracket Challenge users to win; only one team in the previous years had received at least two percent of picks.
Where is this increased confidence coming from? It's hard to say. Sure, there have been some close calls over the years, but every No. 1 seed won their game last year by double-digits, three did so by at least 20 and one (Villanova) won by 41. So it's certainly interesting to see these upset pick percentages rise to such new heights this year.
But maybe other recent close calls -- such as Arizona only beating Weber State by nine in 2015 and Gonzaga only beating Southern by six in 2014 -- continue to resonate more with fans. Perhaps fans are just realizing that a 16-1 upset is bound to happen sooner or later and this year could be the year. There's also a chance name recognition is coming into play here. Everyone remembers Florida Gulf Coast's Sweet 16 run in 2013, and Hampton faced then-undefeated Kentucky in the NCAA tournament last season.
Whatever the reason, fans are feeling bolder then ever. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 2 |

The Story of Thanksgiving that you thought you knew

Thanksgiving, made possible by only one word…
By only one man.
Those pilgrims they landed they tried and they struggled. Nothing worked. They really suffered. Nothing grew, all the seasons were wrong. They came down with all of the things that were just like at home but different, different enough to do them real harm. They even tried hunting, but even that was other than they had known. This was a new country where God had made things other than they had believed would be possible. As many laid sick and indeed dying, they gave it one more try. A small band went out looking for game and they met with something totally unexpected. This is the word. This is the message. America (Americas) listen. This is the word. "Welcome." This is what they heard.
How could that small band of travelling originals know one word of English, "Welcome" but they did so. They cautiously walked towards the struggling settlers and spoke the one word of English they knew "Welcome" all this way from the homeland.
This was the moment which gave the Americas English. This is the reason that as new settlers arrived they heard English. All along the coasts were settlements where it was the language and new arrivals from Germany, Poland, Spain, The Ukraine, from the known world heard and adapted.
This was the word of Squanto.
For that welcoming band (that small 'nation') led the poor settlers to another tribe but their own. They took them to a 'nation' where Squanto lived.
It was Squanto who took them in, who travelled with them, who settled with them for a while. He taught them how life was different here. They gathered seeds because of him. They learned the lore. The lore of this land the Americas. And they thrived.
In years to come, they would be all along the coast, coastal settlement to coastal settlement; welcoming the new arrivals in English, just like the tribal band before them, "Welcome" "Welcome" "Welcome"
This was the doing of one person, one person on this earth; Squanto.
Many, many years before, other strangers had come, they had come to take, and they took him. Squanto the slave had to work; had to work on an alien vessel, doing alien things. Hard they treated him, and hard he worked. Then came the time that they traded him. To yet another alien vessel, in an alien world, at an alien port.
From there he sailed with this new crew to another world. To a port, as he learned they called them. To the port of London. More beings in one glimpse than he had ever seen in his life.
But he saw his life ahead of him and he jumped ship. He left. He escaped. He survived. He learned the language. English.
Time went by and he had what he needed to know. The ships that landed here could go anywhere. So he asked and he asked, and one of these ships said yes. The captain agreed, yes he was going to the 'new' world and yes he would employ him.
All Squanto required in payment was nourishment. Nourishment and hope.
The journey was long. And it was hard.
The shore, at last, was before him. The captain was true to his word. Squanto was free.
He was not bitter. He had learned. And he knew one word more than any other.
Long was his walk, it took him years, but he got down that coast, till he started to recognise where he was…
And was he welcomed, he who had come back from the dead, all these years gone.
As an older wiser man, he taught all around him. The only way to survive in this 'new' larger world was to welcome. To welcome.
He taught this word to all who came near him.
And those settlers, all those years onwards were welcome.
All along the coast of the Americas his one true word echoed. "Welcome." "Welcome." "Welcome."
Be thankful and be welcoming.

BkiUeXnxK19JmejM-iHB | Richie was born in New York, N.Y., to Mildred and Milton Cohen, and raised in Lawrence, Long Island. The oldest of three children, he spent his high school years at the Hackley School in Tarrytown, New York and studied at the University of Virginia before graduating from Adelphi University.
Richie was preceded in death by his parents, and sister Gilda Cohen. He is survived by his loving wife, Elise Cohen (nee Williams), their children Mac and M.E., sister Susie Steiner (Frank), first wife Helene Slansky, daughter Debbie Wheatley (Chris), son Jon Cohen (Sallie), grandchildren Zach and Rachel Ware, and Emilie and Jorden Cohen, and the extended Williams family. Richie is also survived by second wife, Lee Alexander and her daughter, Belinda Tuton (nee Bolte).
Eager to leave the family dress business (RAC Manufacturing) and indulge his love for skiing, Richie moved the family to Aspen in 1971. It was a family dream to move to Aspen, where he skied every day for the first two seasons. The family was also involved in horseback riding and the Strang Ranch based Roaring Fork Hounds. Richie was named a Master of Fox Hounds and led the hunt as fieldmaster on his mighty horse, Bloomingdale, for many years.
In 1984, Richie and Elise met and fell in love over their shared enthusiasm for skiing and fox hunting. Married in 1989, the couple were parents to Mac and M.E. Richie felt doubly blessed by his second Aspen family. Richie was a successful realtor, selling real estate with Carol Ann Jacobson Realty for 32 years and most recently with Aspen Real Estate Company. It was Carol Ann Jacobson Kopf who originally convinced Richie to obtain his real estate license since he sent her so many referrals from the ski lift. He never stopped working, with a closing in Spring of 2017, although selling real estate became much more difficult after he became disabled.
After a routine surgery in 2004, Richie lost the use of his right lung and had to have oxygen support all the time. Richie never complained. He shouldered this burden so that he and his family could continue to live in Aspen.
He was a lifelong volunteer who was always heavily involved with the Aspen community. He donated countless hours to task forces, study groups and many non-profit boards. He was a founding board member & vice-president of GrassRoots Television, Aspen/Santa Fe Ballet, Dance Aspen, Ballet Aspen, Ballet West, facilities chairman of Arts West Aspen, and co-chair of the Wheeler Committee. He served on the board of the Wheeler Opera House and the Roaring Fork Valley Foundation for the Performing Arts. Richie spent many hours volunteering for the Pitkin County Democrats. He enjoyed a good debate and loved nothing more than spending time persuading you to his point of view, even if that meant switching sides mid-stream to convince you of the strength of his argument.
After 46 years in Aspen, Richie knew just about everyone and he would be honored to know that so many of you cared about him. He was the life of the party and the light of his family's life. Richie was unique, he was special, and we loved him. A celebration of life will be announced at a later date.

BkiUdyc4eIOjR_CK1cU8 | Glassware is classy, and a staple in many different food establishments. Whether you are in a restaurant, bar, café, catering business, or bakery, glassware can be used for many different reasons. The clear, elegant look allows customers to see beautiful creations and lets chefs' creativity shine through. Glassware is mainly used for tableware. However, besides tableware, glass can serve water, oil, vinegar, and salad dressings among many other necessities. Although glass is reusable, it can sometimes be difficult to keep glasses looking brand new. There are many tips and tricks to keeping glassware alive for years in a busy restaurant setting.
Restaurantware has a vast collection of glassware, including drinking glasses, double wall glasses, mason jars, swing top jars, and bottles. Each is used for a specific role in a food establishment, whether it be for serving or storage. Glassware is reusable and recyclable, so using glass products lessens your impact on the environment. Our glassware lasts for years, if you take the steps to preserve them for as long as possible. We all know that restaurants, bars, cafes, food trucks, weddings, banquets, and other events can all be busy with many people in one area. Thus, many accidents cannot be avoided. However, you can control some scenarios, especially when it comes to how you handle your glassware.
Our glassware is eco-friendly because it reduces the need of resources because these products are reusable. Thus, no new products need to be made when you reuse this tableware and serveware as much as possible. To keep your carbon footprint as small as possible, it's important to take care of your glassware so they last a long time. The longer you use your glasses, the less impact you have on the environment because the less resources have to be used to make new glassware. To make this easier for you, we collected a few tips and tricks for taking care of your precious glasses.
Glass is a very delicate material, so you want to avoid hitting glasses against anything hard. Whether they clink with other glasses, a keg, flatware, or anything else, this can make them more prone to shattering. The impact of glass against other surfaces causes stress on the material, which makes it weaker. Thus, take care not to store flatware in glasses, clink glasses together, or let glasses come in contact with taps. These small steps can help avoid unnecessary cracking, chipping, and shattering and ensures that your glassware will stay intact for as long as possible.
Glasses are not only sensitive to impacts, but they are also weary around extreme changes in temperature. Thus, avoid putting ice and ice-cold beverages into glass tableware that is hot out of the dishwasher. The intense change can weaken glass and can make it more prone to damage. Glass isn't strong enough to handle extreme temperatures, so be sure to supervise their use around extreme hot and cold. Sometimes, if exposed to high temperatures, the glass can explode. This is not only wasting a glass, but it also is a safety hazard for your employees and customers.
Stacking glasses adds unnecessary stress on this precious tableware. Not only can this cause glass to break accidentally, but it also can lead to scratches, chips, or cracks. Stacking is also a gamble because if one layer gives out, then many glasses may be compromised at once. This can be a devastating blow for any restaurant, especially one that primarily uses glassware on tables and in the kitchen. Thus, avoid this catastrophe by not stacking glasses around your establishment. If you need extra space or more organization, then look into investing in getting a glass rack. This not only helps store glasses safely, but it also looks professional and clean.
We all know that restaurants and food establishments are busy with people walking in aisles, children running around, and other happenings. So, it's no wonder that some glasses are forfeited due to accidents. However, many glasses can be saved with proper care and handling. Since restaurants, events, and other food establishments are always busy, we know that waiters and other personnel try to juggle a lot at one time. However, glasses should be handled with care individually. When multiple glasses are carried together, they clink which causes stress on them. This happens multiple times within a short period when they are being carried. Carrying glasses carelessly can make them more prone to damage. Instead of carrying multiple glasses together, use a tray to simplify the transportation.
Glasses are a staple in the restaurant world, so we just want to help you keep glasses looking new for as long as possible. Over time, you may notice that glasses can get foggy from dishwashers and use. You can renovate your glasses every few weeks to keep them looking brand new. This will impress your customers because your glassware will look better than your competitors'. Although glass is gorgeous, it takes constant care to keep them shining. Nothing will quite bring down the atmosphere like dirty, cloudy glasses. So, make sure they are presentable even after using them for awhile. Accidents do happen, and glasses will shatter. Thus, make sure you have plenty of extras ready to be used.
At Restaurantware, we strive to sell the most beautiful tableware available, and our glassware is an elite collection. Eating establishments all over the world love our glassware and use them daily to make a lasting impression on customers. This collection has a wide variety of shapes and sizes of different glassware products, including glasses, jars, and bottles. Thus, it is easy to decorate your tables in a stylish, yet functional, way. Using our glassware is also eco-friendly because you reuse resources rather than disposing them after every use. Glass can also be recycled in order for us to reuse these resources time after time. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 2 |

BkiUdWY5qX_AY1ZPJZdn | Onions represent the third largest fresh vegetable industry in the United States. The U.S. per capita consumption of onions is about 22 pounds per year. This translates to over 450 semi-truck loads of onions used in the United States each day.
Onions are one of the most versatile vegetables. From raw to caramelized and from marinated to roasted, they can be found in a wide range of recipes from breakfast to supper and nearly every ethnic cuisine.
An estimated 20 percent of onions are fresh-cut or processed for retail or foodservice. Whole peeled or diced/sliced onions are commonly sold to consumers at retail for fresh consumption. Peeled, sliced, diced, and chunked onions go directly to the foodservice industry. Commercial food companies also use pre-cut products in prepared food items like salsa, soups, sauces, and breaded appetizers like onion rings.
Per capita onion consumption has risen over 70 percent in the last two decades, from 12.2 pounds per person in 1982 to 20 pounds per person in 2010 and 21.9 pounds in 2017.
The National Onion Association notes that onion rings, onion blooms, other onion appetizers, caramelized onions, and classic French Onion Soup remain popular restaurant uses for onions. In the past decade, red onions have gained popularity especially in fast causal dining segments on pizza, sandwiches and salads.
Ag Fact: Americans enjoy the lowest per capita food cost in the world. Spending just under ten percent of total personal consumption expenditures on food at home.
World onion production is estimated at approximately 105 billion pounds each year. The average annual onion consumption calculates to approximately 13.67 pounds of onions per person across the world. Libya has the highest consumption of onions with an astounding average per capita consumption of 66.8 pounds.
Grill up these blooms for a fun, delicious, sharable, healthy appetizer or side-dish. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

BkiUe8nxK7FjYEXSGhi2 | Pianist John Medeski has an upcoming residency at the Stone from Feb 18 through 23 with sets at 8 and 10 PM featuring a diverse cast of characters, mostly a series of trio performances. While it's a safe assumption that some of those sets will to some extent reprise the kind of grooves he made a name for himself with in Medeski Martin & Wood, recent years have seen Medeski play with a depth that transcends anything he ever did with MMW. In other words, Medeski is at the absolute peak of his career right now as both a composer and performer. His latest album A Different Time, the first release on the recently revived OKeh label, is a highly improvised solo piano quasi-suite that draws on influences as diverse as noir piano legend Ran Blake, Erik Satie, Ravel and the early Modernists as well as later 20th century minimalism.
The backstory is interesting: Medeski thought he had the album in the can until producer Henry Hirsch encouraged Medeski to try his studio's 1924 Gaveau piano, built in a nineteenth century style that allows (and in fact requires) more nuance than the Steinway model that was being used to track the album. A little messing around turned out to be a revelation, so Medeski ended up re-cutting the tracks on the Gaveau, in the process adding a lot of unplanned material.
Medeski teases the listener as the cinematic, neoromantic prelude I'm Falling slowly morphs into a fullscale ballad. He adds clever palindrome effects to a quirky reinterpretation of the spiritual His Eye Is on the Sparrow, then offers a homage to Blake – with whom Medeski studied at New England Conservatory – via a careful march that defiantly resists any resolution even as it hints at the blues. Graveyard Fields works suspenseful allusions to Asian melody and a moody waltz, while Luz Marina, an elegy for an orphan girl, references both the blues and a Satie Gymnopedie, coalescing with a Brad Mehldau-like vividness.
Medeski follows the gospel-tinged miniature Waiting at the Gate with Lacrima, whose morose insistence matches its spaciousness, again echoing Blake at his most moody and pensive. The album ends with an ironically elegaic, resonant, allusively bluesy remake of Otis, a track from MMW's debut album. Is this jazz improvisation? Definitely. Classical music? Why not? And it testifies powerfully to the kind of literally transcendent results you can get when you defamiliarize and throw yourself into an unexpected situation.
When she was invited up to the McDowell Colony last year to compose, alto saxophonist Sarah Manning was not in a good place, she alluded between songs at her show Saturday night at I-Beam. But her time in the New Hampshire woods turned out to be exactly what she needed to reboot, and she showed off several of the kinetic, sometimes achingly intense compositions she'd come up with there, taken from her brilliant new album Harmonious Creature. Onstage, Manning's tone is less brassy and more nuanced than it tends to be in the studio; attackwise, she went from a wail to a wisp and often back up again, precise and purposeful. For whatever reason, maybe because she has an album release show coming up at 8:30 PM on Feb 20 at Cornelia St. Cafe, this gig was more about tunes than pyrotechnics or jousting.
Bassist Rene Hart's hypnotic, pulsing circular lines often held the center as drummer Allison Miller ornamented the songs with a misterioso, John Hollenbeck-like pointillism. What's it like to watch Miller play quietly? Infrequent, let's say – but she finally hit a long cyclotron rumble which was just plain classic, and worth the price of admission all by itself. Meanwhile, guitarist Jonathan Goldberger and violist Fung Chern Hwei alternated between resonant atmospherics and incisive solo passages. Goldberger used his sustain pedals for almost clarinet-like tone that built with the viola to a magical, enveloping mist on the night's elegantly waltzing opening number, Copland on Cornelia St. Then Manning led the band with a hypercaffeinated drive through the bitingly catchy Don't Answer to the Question.
Grey Dawn Red Fox worked a similar dynamic, Miller's insistent implied clave paired with Manning's dancing lines against a lingering grey-sky backdrop. Tune of Cats saw Manning airing out her lower register, Miller matching her unease, throwing elbows everywhere versus the rest of the band's resolute calm. They worked a tight push-pull on the acerbic Radish Spirit and then backed away through a considerably more acidic reworking of Neil Young's On the Beach. The enigmatic, brooding Three Chords for Jessica was a highlight, as was the second set's closing number, What the Blues Left Behind. Manning explained it as an illustration of the flush of contentment – hopefully without your ears ringing too hard – that you get after a good set or a good night watching somebody play one. The long series of false endings at the end wound up this eclectic and intriguing evening on an aptly reflective note.
Jazz guitar legend Peter Leitch once joked grimly that in order to get steady work, maybe he should don a straw hat and play nothing written after, say, 1930. Seth Kessel and the Two Cent Band embody that esthetic, with their own original tunesmithing – and get a lot of work in the process. Their latest album is the aptly titled In the Golden Days, streaming at their Bandcamp page. Kessel plays energetically and eclectically on a hollowbody electric, straight through his amp without effects, alongside Gabriel Yonkler on soprano and tenor sax, Jackson Hardaker on trombone and tuba, Jason Bertone on bass and either Yaeir Heber or Hironori Momoi behind the drums. Kessel is also an excellent singer with an unaffectedly wry delivery and writes clever, funny lyrics in the spirit if not exactly the vernacular of the hot jazz he obviously loves so much.
The title track hints that it's going to go in a noir direction but instead becomes a sardonic, lickety-split circus rock shuffle: the golden days when "we sat in the street, drank malt liquor and didn't eat" had their ups and downs. The kiss-off swing anthem Don't Contact Me is a lot of fun: "You know what, I take back that apology, you never bothered putting money down at Milk and Honey after getting paid for helping a friend, and all the while expecting to get laid," Kessel relates. Southern Fried splices a twistedly noisy rock guitar solo onto a period-perfect Louis Jordan-style jump blues. They give the old standard Some of These Days a droll circus intro, a rapidfire, mandolin-like Kessel solo and then speed it up at the end – it sounds like a big concert favorite.
The strongest tune here might be Theme Song for Gregory Sallust, a moody, Romany-tinged waltz with biting soprano sax and a trombone solo that goes from blippy to brooding at the drop of a dime. The Chuck Berry-ish Let That Train Roll By looks back on one of the ones that got away – this one was definitely somebody to avoid, Yonkler's smoky tenor sax handing off to Kessel's noisy gutbucket solo. "I was hardly sober when you screwed me over," Kessel muses in the wry but understatedly vengeful Goodbye July, lit up by jaunty soprano sax, a guitar solo that mixes C&W and the blues, and a low, somewhat tongue-in-cheek one from the trombone.
They reinvent the old blues ballad After You've Gone as lickety-split swing, sly lowdown tombone grounding it in reality. In the Early Night is an amusingly telling look at one aspect of a Brooklyn musician's life in 2014, getting hit on by rich gentrifier girls and not minding the influx of cash with mysterious origins. The conspiratorially cinematic instrumental Kestrel's Revolution works a hi-de-ho theme with Balkan tinges. Turn the Heavens, a steady, shuffling ode to nocturnal entertainment of the adult variety, reminds that while this band may not do dixieland as tightly as some others do, they definitely have the spirit. The album winds up with an apprehensively scurrying oldtimey folk number. Kessel plays in a lot of projects; this band currrently doesn't have anything on the calendar, but you can catch his duo show with Pete Matthiesen every Tuesday at 9 at Arcane, 111 Ave. C between 9th and 10th Sts.
Solo albums made on instruments that typically don't play more than a single pitch at a time are usually of interest only to people who play those instruments. Doug Wieselman's warmly ambient, thoughtful, vinyl-only new solo album From Water is the exception to that rule. It's a minimalist mix of loopmusic played on both clarinet and bass clarinet, occasionally flashing the dry, puckish wit that is one of Wieselman's signature traits. The other is lyricism, which explains why he's been one of New York's most in-demand reedmen for well over a decade with acts from the legendary Kamikaze Ground Crew to Lou Reed and the Dimestore Dance Band. The longtime denizen of the original Knitting Factory/Tonic/Stone scene is playing the album release show for this one, presumably solo, on Feb 4 at 10:30 PM at the Poisson Rouge for $10.
The compositions' unifying theme is melody influenced by the sound of water and wind, a close listen to the sounds of the earth and what they might imply and an elegantly shifting counterpart to what Handel did over 200 years ago. A handful of the works here are miniatures, the rest of them fairly brief, around five minutes or less. The opening piece sets long, layered tones over a quietly looping traintrack rhythm, Wieselman developing a rather plaintive melody with a clear, crystalline sostenuto. On a couple of other tracks, Wieselman's pulsing, corkscrew loops evoke bagpipes, especially where he utilizes close harmonies, spinning them back through the mix with a kaleidoscopic swirl. In many of these numbers, he deftly orchestrates a calm/animated dichotomy, with spirals, trills and tersely melismatic motives set against a drone or a calmly circular phrase. Jazz is rarely if ever referenced here, the blues only distantly, although there are several nostalgic, folksy interludes and a long vamp with more than a hint of vintage 60s soul music.
There's a pastorale where you might pull off your headphones to see if a certain sound is coming from your radiator, and also a choral version of that work, seemingly an arrangement for two voices recorded live. While there are a handful of passages where Wieselman utilizes his vaunted technique for some lickety-split arpeggios and trills, the album's overall effect is soothing and contemplative. Turn on, drop the needle in the groove, you know the rest.
Vibraphonist Mark Sherman and tenor saxophonist Bob Franceschini are old friends from the NYC scene since their days as classmates at the High School of Music and Art, dreaming of having a band together and doing whatever other things up-and-coming jazz guys did back in the 70s. At last, now they have that band, wryly calling themselves Project Them, and an interesting and rewardingly tuneful album out from Miles High that follows what was by all accounts an energetic and well-received European tour. The crew here also includes Mitchel Forman on piano and organ, Martin Djakonovski on bass and Adam Nussbaum on drums, You might not expect such lyricism as there is here from a bunch of guys with reps as hardbop heavy-hitters with virtuoso chops and intellectual rigor to match.
Nussbaum's We 3 begins as a balmy ballad and picks up with sunny sax over lingering vibes and a slowly dancing rhythm. Solitude, by Sherman, considers the upside to being alone, calm and catchy with hints of Steely Dan and Pat Metheny.The South Song, by Djakonovski, works understated, tersely modal territory, Froman's spacious guitarlike piano chords handing off to Sherman's meticulously expansive solo and then a similarly considered, upper midrange, woodtoned one from the composer. Franceschini's Minor Turns brings back the jaunty syncopation of the second track, Froman switching to organ behind the sax's lively clusters.
They do Johnny Mandel's Close Enough for Love with almost a reggae pulse, and then a couple of numbers with Italian pianist Paolo di Sabatino, who contributes Short Swing – a funky minor blues in disguise – and Ma Bo's Waltz, which nicks a very, very familiar theme immortalized by Coltrane. The album ends up with Sherman's Angular Blues, an organ tune that raises the ante with the album's most vigorous departure into the bop that these guys have in their fingers. | c4 | 5 | 4 | 5 | 5 |

BkiUdAA5qoTAlg17grK8 | "Toys that come to life" is an ever-present theme in movies, books, videogames, and TV shows. Disney has taken advantage of the many creative opportunities this idea presents with The Toy Story movies, Winnie the Pooh, and Pinocchio. Following in these footsteps, the Mouse has added a half-hour children's TV show to their Disney Junior block called Doc McStuffins about a little black girl who nurses her toys back to prime working condition. In the premiere episode, the Doc and her friend are playing dress-up with dolls and a pair of jack-in-the-boxes aptly named Little Jack and Big Jack. Little Jack is not jumping out of his box at a startling pace, which earns him a visit to a state-of-the-art medical playhouse complete with surgery, puzzle block floor, waiting room, aquarium, tool bench, and ICU. Hopefully, Little Jack's HMO will cover the costs. Once Doc steps into the playhouse she is greeted by her bevy of toy friends that magically come to life with a sprinkle of fairy dust or magic—it is something sparkly. The main toy friends are sweet Lambie in a pink skirt and bow, Hallie a candy-striper hippo, Stuffy a blue dragon, a purple fish who squeaks, and Chilly the hypochondriac stuffed snowman. The main premise is Little Jack is afraid of getting a check-up; Doc and Big Jack help build his confidence with a prerequisite song and Big Jack getting a check-up first.
The second part features Doc and her little brother Donny prepping for a big race with toy cars. Donny expects to beat his sister hands down with Ricardo the fastest race car ever, but something goes wrong. Indignant that his older sister bet him, Donny vows never to race again and Doc whisks the famous toy car to her office. Ricardo is what would happen if Lightening McQueen and Francesco Bernoulli were taken to a chop shop and reassembled—he has Lightning's body and paint job and Francesco's foreign accent. He can't rationalize why he can't go as fast as he used to. Using the power of observation, Doc runs a few tests to figure out what's wrong with Ricardo, even though he thinks his racing career is over–such melodrama from a boy and his toy car. There is another song and Doc diagnoses that Ricardo needs to be recharged. The lesson learned is sleeping is a good way to restore/recharge your energy levels.
Doc McStuffins is a fun and educational show that doesn't pander to kids. Okay, maybe it does in some ways with the simplistic story plots, songs, and the over dramatization with Donny and Ricardo, but what a toddler doesn't think the world will end when trouble appears? These are characteristics of practically ever children's cartoon, so let's focus on what makes Doc McStuffins different. At the top of the list is the semi-blurred line between pretend and real life. Doc's mother is a real doctor and our main character is mirroring her mother by healing her toys. Her toys also "go stuffed" in the presence of adults or other children, but hey quickly come alive again when a back is turned. A simple blurring of the imagination lines, but it makes the series all the more charming. Doc also breaks new ground by pretending to be a medical professional. I cannot think of any kid shows that feature a child dispersing medical advice (Lucy from Peanuts doesn't really count because her advice didn't really help poor Charlie Brown). Among other things Doc teaches life lessons and simple science procedures when she examines her patients. She does give her patient aliments' names that describe the cause and ends it with "itis," not too original but it can be forgiven. At the end of the episode, she offers health tips such as washing hands to ward off germs, which is good advice for kids since their hands are always sticky, dirty, or gunky. Some people can interpret Doc McStuffins as a channel to push healthy living habits on the young viewers, but it's not being shoved down their throats. The stuffed animal friends are cute, but their personalities don't come out much in the first episode. As there are a lot of them, it will take time for the characters to develop and carve out a niche in viewer's hearts.
The animators did an amazing job on an animated preschool show! The toys and characters aren't perfectly plastic, instead hey have softer edges with scuffs, dings, dents, and textured fabrics. They took the time to add details to a genre saturated in CGI balloons. The characters' movement is also very fluid with strict attention paid to how Doc's stuffed friends walk about, each character is given their own individual gaits based on where the stuffing lays. For example, Stuffy the Dragon bounces when walks as the bulk of his polyester fiber filling is concentrated in the middle and Chilly the Snowman shuffles from side to side because he doesn't have legs. There are some faults with the shading and the backgrounds are flat, but they're not too noticeable.
Doc McStuffins is the first show Disney commissioned for the new Disney Junior block (name possibly stolen from a former line-up called Nick Jr.?). It is original for having the main character be a doctor and concentrating on health and wellness. Doc is a great, positive girl, but we don't know much about her menagerie. The show has set itself up for a long run and it appeals not only kids, but adults as well. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 2 |

BkiUfvs241xiNVUWlmFt | Provider Wellness: Why It Matters and How To Achieve It
Hospitalist Crystal Kondowe, MD, quickly established herself as a rising star in her practice at Hospital Sisters Health System St. Elizabeth's Hospital in O'Fallon, IL. Despite the professional satisfaction she experienced most days, she couldn't anticipate the challenges of being a care provider in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic. "I was mostly working nights during that time, which was exceptionally isolating," she says. For the first time, she felt the undertow of burnout pull at her.
Kondowe is far from alone, and today she's on a mission to help other providers whose wellness and job satisfaction are less than optimal. With clinician burnout rampant and job dissatisfaction at historic highs, workplace resilience has become a survival imperative for health systems.
In partnership with Healthcare Dive, Vituity hosted a webinar with clinical leaders discussing actionable ways that providers can improve their personal and professional wellness and resilience. Below, Dr. Kondowe and other Vituity clinical leaders share resiliency insights and experiences from the front lines.
Impacts of Burnout on Patient Care
Years of research strongly suggest that burnout impacts patients' experiences. "It's no surprise that burned-out providers deliver less pleasant, personable care," says Gregg Miller, MD, Chief Medical Officer and a practicing emergency physician.
"But the problem goes deeper. Burnout also tracks with lower clinical quality scores. So patients who are cared for by burned-out physicians, advanced providers, and nurses may actually experience worse outcomes."
Miller also looks at the issue from a team perspective. "One provider with burnout will tend to bring down others," he says. "For example, when someone's cracking jokes at the expense of a patient, everyone's morale sinks. And that impacts the care of all the patients on the unit—even the ones who never see the burned-out clinician." Miller notes that the opposite is also true and that supportive, empathic colleagues can actually raise team morale.
It might feel like you can only solve burnout at the expense of other goals. But the truth is, improving provider morale will often move the dial on other goals.
Crystal Kondowe, MDVituity Hospitalist
Why Provider Burnout is Often Invisible
While most clinicians and healthcare leaders understand the dangers of burnout on an intellectual level, it's an easy problem to overlook. Unlike other metrics, low clinician morale doesn't announce itself through metrics or dashboards.
"Hospitals can now gather real-time data on lengths of stay, bed utilization, and cost per discharge, which allows us to respond with dynamic solutions," says Kondowe. "But most hospitals don't gather timely data on provider wellness. As a result, they don't get the type of feedback that creates urgency for change."
Hospital leaders may also hesitate to tackle burnout because it doesn't lend itself to neat and tidy solutions. "It's a lot easier to change a process than to change hearts and minds," Kondowe says. "So it might feel like you can only solve burnout at the expense of other goals. But the truth is, improving provider morale will often move the dial on other goals."
What Does Provider Burnout Look Like?
Essentially, provider burnout encompasses three dimensions:
Emotional exhaustion
Lack of accomplishment
Exhaustion is characterized by low reserves of physical and emotional energy. "Interestingly, it manifests differently along the gender spectrum," says Vanessa Calderón, MD, MPH, Medical Director of St. Mary's Medical Center in San Francisco, CA, and director of Vituity's resilience program. "Individuals on the masculine end might appear totally withdrawn, joyless, and disengaged from loved ones. And if you tend more feminine, you might notice constant physical exhaustion."
Providers experiencing depersonalization can feel distant or indifferent toward others, including patients, colleagues, and family members. Outward signs include cynicism, sarcasm, humor at the expense of others, and frequent venting. "It can also show up as poor bedside manner," Calderón says.
And finally, there's a perceived lack of accomplishment. "That's when you start doubting the meaning of your work," Calderón says. "You think, 'Does this even matter? Am I actually making a difference? Everything would be fine if I wasn't here.'"
Experiencing one (or all three) burnout signs doesn't mean anything has gone wrong. "Most providers will ebb and flow through burnout across their careers," Calderón says. "That's perfectly normal. But it's important to tune in to ourselves and our colleagues and notice when someone is struggling to cope."
Aftermath of the Pandemic on Burnout Rates
Conventional wisdom suggests that the pandemic drove an increase in burnout. However, the truth may be more nuanced. "The truth is, Medscape has been tracking burnout rates for several years, and they were just as high before the pandemic," Miller says.
Why might this be? For one, not all providers experienced the pandemic in the same way. EDs in many parts of the country, for example, actually saw lower volumes for much of 2020. And interestingly, the national emergency may have fueled a sense of pride and accomplishment that actually helped to combat burnout. "More than any other year, we've been reminded of the noble cause, the reason why we went into medicine," Miller says.
Miller notes that while burnout rates remained steady, providers are trending downward on other measures of job satisfaction, such as happiness at work. More are also announcing intentions to retire or leave the profession early. However, he remains optimistic. "On one hand, people are feeling more stress and anxiety," he says. "But it's been inspiring to see that counterbalanced by a sense of mission."
Help for Provider Burnout
Many hospitals tackle burnout by focusing on clinicians' personal resilience. While this approach can sometimes help, it can also leave providers feeling misunderstood.
"Clinicians with burnout need resiliency training the same way patients with appendicitis need painkillers," says Miller. "Painkillers are important, but they don't cure appendicitis. For that, we also need surgery or antibiotics."
"The same goes for wellness. Too often when providers feel overwhelmed, organizations prescribe yoga and motivational speakers and gym memberships without addressing the deeper issues. We need to focus more on issues like practice efficiency and overall organizational culture."
Kondowe's experience with burnout turned a corner when she attended Vituity's COVID-19 Resiliency Workshop. "The speakers helped me see that I wasn't alone in this," she says. "It encouraged me to open up to my medical director to share some of the challenges I was facing. That was a huge comfort to me."
"I'm so grateful for Vituity's dedication toward supporting providers. You can tell our leadership truly cares. The experience inspired me to take these strategies and pay them forward so that I can help others." One of the ways Kondowe helps foster resilience is by serving as her site's Wellness Champion.
Personal Resilience: Tips for Providers
Whether or not your organization has a formal resilience program, certain habits of mind can help clinicians deal with stress and overwhelm.
Show yourself compassion. "I would encourage providers to recognize our humanity," Kondowe says. "What we're experiencing during the pandemic is extraordinary, and it's not something many people can relate to. It's OK for it to feel hard."
Focus on what you can control. "I often hear providers talking about how they have to do X and Y," Calderón says. "However, it's more empowering to frame your actions as choices. For example, you chose to go to work every day at the start of the pandemic when there were so many frightening unknowns. That's a choice you can be proud of."
Pause, reassess, and course-correct. Difficult experiences can often clarify our values and deepest purpose—a phenomenon known as post-traumatic growth.
"Now that you have a moment to catch your breath, notice what's no longer serving you," Calderón says. "Maybe you want to set new professional goals.

BkiUcLPxaJJQnMJkXdnm | The Surrealists frequently combined their visual arts with the written word, such as in this publication -- "Minotaure" -- which was issued in the 1930s.
As with Dadaism, one of the primary techniques practiced by many Surrealists was the process of automatism. Similar to other artistic manifestations such as improvisational free jazz, automatism involves writing and drawing with as little conscious control as possible.
This technique was considered valuable because the Surrealists believed it allowed them to tap into their subconscious and explore the realms of their inner psyches while consequently expanding that territory. Dreams were also of great significance, as these were considered a chief route to the primal self, encased by what they believed to be an artificially constructed cultural consciousness. In an extension of this, Surrealist art sometimes featured recurring symbolism to convey different intentions. Dalí, for instance, was famous for his soft watches, which were meant to convey the idea that time is fluid. Ants stood for putrefaction and transition, while drawers symbolized memories that could be locked away.
Creating odd and often thought-provoking juxtapositions was another core Surrealist technique, with fragments coming together in unconventional contexts. In fact, the more various puzzle pieces differed from one another -- and the greater the sense that the newfound relationship was genuine -- the more profound the conveyed message was believed to be. This relates to the word "surreal" itself, which was meant to express the idea that Surrealism goes above and beyond mundane reality, that it reforms and transcends it.
Surrealist paintings often leave viewers with a confused or eerie sensation. Apart from crazy juxtapositions, the art might portray menacing shadows cast by figures lurking just outside the frame or twisted objects that look like characters out of a nightmare or a hallucination. Components that many might consider perverse or grotesque are fair game, and eroticism often plays a role as well. All in all, Surrealism can easily come off as disturbing, or at the very least, a bit unsettling.
Now that we've had a look at some of the hallmark characteristics of Surrealism, let's take a closer look at who founded the movement, as well as the other creative savants who defined the Surrealist style.

Die-hard Breaking Bad fans will recognize the name Bob Odenkirk immediately, but if it doesn't ring a bell to you, well, it's time you get to know the guy — with Better Call Saul premiering this coming Sunday, you're going to be hearing a lot more about him than ever before.
While the writer/producer/director and actor who plays criminal lawyer extraordinaire Saul Goodman has been landing some particularly prime roles lately (for example, you might have seen him on a little show called Fargo last year), the dude's been in the biz for ages — we're talking 25-plus years, here. Surprised? I figured you might be. Let's take a look at some of the amazing projects you had no idea Odenkirk was involved in — or, in some cases, totally responsible for.

CHAPTER II-VIII
September 5, 2013 reformedontheweb 2 comments
THE TEN PRIMITIVE PERSECUTIONS
VIII. The Eighth Persecution, Under Valerian, AD 257
Began under Valerian, in the month of April, 257, and continued for three years and six months. The martyrs that fell in this persecution were innumerable, and their tortures and deaths as various and painful. The most eminent martyrs were the following, though neither rank, sex, nor age were regarded.
Rufina and Secunda were two beautiful and accomplished ladies, daughters of Asterius, a gentleman of eminence in Rome. Rufina the elder, was designed in marriage for Armentarius, a young noble man; Secunda, the younger, for Verinus, a person of rank and opulence. The suitors, at the time of the persecution's commencing were both Christians; but when danger appeared, to save their fortunes, they renounced their faith. They took great pains to persuade the ladies to do the same, but, disappointed in their purpose the lovers were base enough to inform against the ladies, who, being apprehended as Christians, were brought before Junius Donatus, governor of Rome, where, AD 257, they sealed their martyrdom with their blood.
Stephen, bishop of Rome, was beheaded in the same year, and about that time Saturninus, the pious orthodox bishop of Toulouse, refusing to sacrifice to idols, was treated with all the barbarous indignities imaginable, and fastened by the feet to the tail of a bull. Upon a signal given, the enraged animal was driven down the steps of the temple, by which the worthy martyr's brains were dashed out.
Sextus succeeded Stephen as bishop of Rome. He is supposed to have been a Greek by birth or by extraction, and had for some time served in the capacity of a deacon under Stephen. His great fidelity, singular wisdom, and uncommon courage distinguished him upon many occasions; and the happy conclusion of a controversy with some heretics is generally ascribed to his piety and prudence. In the year 258, Marcianus, who had the management of the Roman government, procured an order from the emperor Valerian, to put to death all the Christian clergy in Rome, and hence the bishop with six of his deacons, suffered martyrdom in 258.
Let us draw near to the fire of martyred Lawrence, that our cold hearts may be warmed thereby. The merciless tyrant, understanding him to be not only a minister of the sacraments, but a distributor also of the Church riches, promised to himself a double prey, by the apprehension of one soul. First, with the rake of avarice to scrape to himself the treasure of poor Christians; then with the fiery fork of tyranny, so to toss and turmoil them, that they should wax weary of their profession. With furious face and cruel countenance, the greedy wolf demanded where this Lawrence had bestowed the substance of the Church: who, craving three days' respite, promised to declare where the treasure might be had. In the meantime, he caused a good number of poor Christians to be congregated. So, when the day of his answer was come, the persecutor strictly charged him to stand to his promise. Then valiant Lawrence, stretching out arms over the poor, said: "These are the precious treasure of the Church; these are the treasure indeed, in whom the faith of Christ reigneth, in whom Jesus Christ hath His mansion-place. What more precious jewels can Christ have, than those in whom He hath promised to dwell! For so it is written, 'I was an hungered, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger and ye took me in.' And again, 'Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.' What greater riches can Christ our Master possess, than the poor people in whom He loveth to be seen?" O, what tongue is able to express the fury and madness of the tyrant's heart! Now he stamped, he stared, he ramped, he fared as one out of his wits: his eyes like fire glowed, his mouth like a boar foamed, his teeth like a hellhound grinned. Now, not a reasonable man, but a roaring lion, he might be called.
"Kindle the fire (he cried) — of wood make no spare. Hath this villain deluded the emperor? Away with him, away with him: whip him with scourges, jerk him with rods, buffet him with fists, brain him with clubs. Jesteth the traitor with the emperor? Pinch him with fiery tongs, gird him with burning plates, bring out the strongest chains, and the fire-forks, and the grated bed of iron: on the fire with it; bind the rebel hand and foot; and when the bed is fire-hot, on with him: roast him, broil him, toss him, turn him: on pain of our high displeasure do every man his office, O ye tormentors." The word was no sooner spoken, but all was done. After many cruel handlings, this meek lamb was laid, I will not say on his fiery bed of iron, but on his soft bed of down. So mightily God wrought with his martyr Lawrence, so miraculously God tempered His element the fire, that it became not a bed of consuming pain, but a pallet of nourishing rest.
In Africa the persecution raged with peculiar violence; many thousands received the crown of martyrdom, among whom the following were the most distinguished characters: Cyprian, bishop of Carthage, an eminent prelate, and a pious ornament of the Church. The brightness of his genius was tempered by the solidity of his judgment; and with all the accomplishments of the gentleman, he blended the virtues of a Christian. His doctrines were orthodox and pure; his language easy and elegant, and his manners graceful and winning: in fine, he was both the pious and polite preacher. In his youth he was educated in the principles of Gentilism, and having a considerable fortune, he lived in the very extravagance of splendor, and all the dignity of pomp.
About the year 246, Cúcilius, a Christian minister of Carthage, became the happy instrument of Cyprian's conversion: on which account, and for the great love that he always afterward bore for the author of his conversion, he was termed Cúcilius Cyprian. Previous to his baptism, he studied the Scriptures with care and being struck with the beauties of the truths they contained, he determined to practise the virtues therein recommended. Subsequent to his baptism, he sold his estate, distributed the money among the poor dressed himself in plain attire, and commenced a life of austerity.
He was soon after made a presbyter; and, being greatly admired for his virtues and works, on the death of Donatus, in AD 248, he was almost unanimously elected bishop of Carthage.
Cyprian's care not only extended over Carthage, but to Numidia and Mauritania. In all his transactions he took great care to ask the advice of his clergy, knowing that unanimity alone could be of service to the Church this being one of his maxims, "That the bishop was in the church and the church in the bishop; so that unity can only be preserved 'by a close connection between the pastor and his flock." In AD 250, Cyprian was publicly proscribed by the emperor Decius, under the appellation of Cúcilius Cyprian, bishop of the Christians; and the universal cry of the pagans was, "Cyprian to the lions, Cyprian to the beasts." The bishop, however, withdrew from the rage of the populace, and his effects were immediately confiscated.
During his retirement, he wrote thirty pious and elegant letters to his flock; but several schisms that then crept into the Church, gave him great uneasiness. The rigor of the persecution abating, he returned to Carthage, and did everything in his power to expunge erroneous opinions. A terrible plague breaking out in Carthage, it was as usual, laid to the charge of the Christians; and the magistrates began to persecute accordingly, which occasioned an epistle from them to Cyprian, in answer to which he vindicates the cause of Christianity. AD 257, Cyprian was brought before the proconsul Aspasius Paturnus, who exiled him to a little city on the Lybian sea. On the death of this proconsul, he returned to Carthage, but was soon after seized, and carried before the new governor, who condemned him to be beheaded; which sentence was executed on the fourteenth of September, AD 258.
The disciples of Cyprian, martyred in this persecution, were Lucius, Flavian, Victoricus, Remus, Montanus, Julian, Primelus and Donatian.
At Utica, a most terrible tragedy was exhibited: three hundred Christians were, by the orders of the proconsul, placed round a burning lime kiln. A pan of coals and incense being prepared, they were commanded either to sacrifice to Jupiter, or to be thrown into the kiln. Unanimously refusing, they bravely jumped into the pit and were immediately suffocated.
Fructuasus, bishop of Tarragon, in Spain, and his two deacons, Augurius and Eulogius, were burnt for being Christians.
Alexander, Malchus, and Priscus, three Christians of Palestine, with a woman of the same place, voluntarily accused themselves of being Christians; on which account they were sentenced to be devoured by tigers, which sentence was executed accordingly.
Maxima, Donatilla, and Secunda, three virgins of Tuburga, had gall and vinegar given them to drink, were then severely scourged tormented on a gibbet, rubbed with lime, scorched on a gridiron, worried by wild beasts, and at length beheaded.
It is here proper to take notice of the singular but miserable fate of the emperor Valerian, who had so long and so terribly persecuted the Christians. This tyrant, by a stratagem, was taken prisoner by Sapor, emperor of Persia, who carried him into his own country, and there treated him with the most unexampled indignity, making him kneel down as the meanest slave, and treading upon him as a footstool when he mounted his horse. After having kept him for the space of seven years in this abject state of slavery, he caused his eyes to be put out, though he was then eighty-three years of age. This not satiating his desire of revenge, he soon after ordered his body to be flayed alive, and rubbed with salt, under which torment he expired; and thus fell one of the most tyrannical emperors of Rome, and one of the greatest persecutors of the Christians.
AD 260, Gallienus, the son of Valerian, succeeded him, and during his reign (a few martyrs excepted) the Church enjoyed peace for some years.

CHAPTER II-V
August 15, 2013 reformedontheweb Leave a comment
V. The Fifth Persecution, Commencing with Severus, AD 192
Severus, having been recovered from a severe fit of sickness by a Christian, became a great favorer of the Christians in general; but the prejudice and fury of the ignorant multitude prevailing, obsolete laws were put in execution against the Christians. The progress of Christianity alarmed the pagans, and they revived the stale calumny of placing accidental misfortunes to the account of its professors, AD 192.
But, though persecuting malice raged, yet the Gospel shone with resplendent brightness; and, firm as an impregnable rock, withstood the attacks of its boisterous enemies with success. Tertullian, who lived in this age, informs us that if the Christians had collectively withdrawn themselves from the Roman territories, the empire would have been greatly depopulated.
Victor, bishop of Rome, suffered martyrdom in the first year of the third century, AD 201. Leonidus, the father of the celebrated Origen, was beheaded for being a Christian. Many of Origen's hearers likewise suffered martyrdom, particularly two brothers, named Plutarchus and Serenus; another Serenus, Heron, and Heraclides, were beheaded. Rhais had boiled pitch poured upon her head and was then burnt, as was Marcella her mother. Potainiena, the sister of Rhais, was executed in the same manner as Rhais had been; but Basilides, an officer belonging to the army, and ordered to attend her execution, became her convert.
Basilides being, as an officer, required to take a certain oath, refused, saying, that he could not swear by the Roman idols, as he was a Christian. Struck with surprise, the people could not, at first believe what they heard; but he had no sooner confirmed the same than he was dragged before the judge, committed to prison, and speedily afterward beheaded.
Ireneus, bishop of Lyons, was born in Greece, and received both a polite and a Christian education. It is generally supposed that the account of the persecutions at Lyons was written by himself. He succeeded the martyr Pothinus as bishop of Lyons, and ruled his diocese with great propriety, he was a. zealous opposer of heresies in general, and, about AD 187, he wrote a celebrated tract against heresy. Victor, the bishop of Rome, wanting to impose the keeping of Easter there, in preference to other places, it occasioned some disorders among the Christians. In particular, Ireneus wrote him a synodical epistle, in the name of the Gallic churches. This zeal, in favor of Christianity, pointed him out as an object of resentment to the emperor; and in AD 202, he was beheaded.
The persecutions now extending to Africa, many were martyred in that quarter of the globe; the most particular of whom we shall mention. Perpetua, a married lady, of about twenty-two years. Those who suffered with her were, Felicitas, a married lady, big with child at the time of her being apprehended, and Revocatus, catechumen of Carthage, and a slave. The names of the other prisoners, destined to suffer upon this occasion, were Saturninus, Secundulus, and Satur. On the day appointed for their execution, they were led to the amphitheater. Satur, Saturninus, and Revocatus were ordered to run the gauntlet between the hunters, or such as had the care of the wild beasts. The hunters being drawn up in two ranks, they ran between, and were severely lashed as they passed. Felicitas and Perpetua were stripped, in order to be thrown to a mad bull, which made his first attack upon Perpetua, and stunned her, he then darted at Felicitas, and gored her dreadfully; but not killing them, the executioner did that office with a sword. Revocatus and Satur were destroyed by wild beasts, Saturninus was beheaded, and Secundulus died in prison. These executions were in the year 205, on the eighth day of March.
Speratus and twelve others were likewise beheaded; as was Andocles in France. Asclepiades, bishop of Antioch, suffered many tortures, but his life was spared.
Cecilia, a young lady of good family in Rome, was married to a gentleman named Valerian. She converted her husband and brother who were beheaded, and the maximus, or officer, who led them to execution, becoming their convert, suffered the same fate. The lady was placed naked in a scalding bath, and having continued there a considerable time, her head was struck off with a sword, AD 222.
Calistus, bishop of Rome, was martyred, AD 224; but the manner of his death is not recorded; and Urban, bishop of Rome, met the same fate AD 232.

CHAPTER I-X
HISTORY OF CHRISTIAN MARTYRS TO THE FIRST GENERAL PERSECUTIONS UNDER NERO
X. Paul
Paul, the apostle, who before was called Saul, after his great travail and unspeakable labors in promoting the Gospel of Christ, suffered also in this first persecution under Nero. Abdias, declareth that under his execution Nero sent two of his esquires, Ferega and Parthemius, to bring him word of his death. They, coming to Paul instructing the people, desired him to pray for them, that they might believe; who told them that shortly after they should believe and be baptized at His sepulcher. This done, the soldiers came and led him out of the city to the place of execution, where he, after his prayers made, gave his neck to the sword.

II. James the Great
The next martyr we meet with, according to St. Luke, in the History of the Apostles' Acts, was James the son of Zebedee, the elder brother of John, and a relative of our Lord; for his mother Salome was cousin-german to the Virgin Mary. It was not until ten years after the death of Stephen that the second martyrdom took place; for no sooner had Herod Agrippa been appointed governor of Judea than, with a view to ingratiate himself with them, he raised a sharp persecution against the Christians, and determined to make an effectual blow, by striking at their leaders. The account given us by an eminent primitive writer, Clemens Alexandrinus, ought not to be overlooked; that, as James was led to the place of martyrdom, his accuser was brought to repent of his conduct by the apostle's extraordinary courage, and fell down at his feet to request his pardon, professing himself a Christian, and resolving that James should not receive the crown of martyrdom alone. Hence they were both beheaded at the same time. Thus did the first apostolic martyr cheerfully and resolutely receive that cup, which he had told our Savior he was ready to drink. Timon and Parmenas suffered martyrdom about the same time; the one at Philippi, and the other at Macedonia. These events took place in AD 44.

BkiUdSHxaKgT1SKe0JjC | The allergy & asthma clinic is one of the most qualified to diagnose and manage various allergic conditions for both adults and children. Dr. Gaglani has been able to treat a wide variety of allergic symptoms and disorders due to her specialized training, education and more than a decade worth of practice in the field of allergies in Central Texas.
Our staff is dedicated to taking care of each patient's needs. The methodology to determine allergies and the treatment course used in our clinic is time-tested and well established.
Asthma is a disease caused by obstruction of the airways in the lungs. The airway obstruction is caused by inflammation. Generally this causes symptoms of wheezing, shortness of breath, cough or chest tightness. The obstruction is reversed by bronchodilators.
1. Asthma can be exercise induced when symptoms manifest only with exertion.
2. Asthma can be viral induced when one has asthma symptoms following a "cold".
3. Asthma can be allergy induced when triggered by allergens such as cat, dog or seasonal allergens (cedar, oak, ragweed, grasses, etc.).
4. Asthma can be year-round when triggered by multiple or year-round allergens or when it is non-allergic asthma.
Asthma is diagnosed through a thorough history taking, physical examination, spirometry and/or response to a bronchodilator.
The treatment of asthma has changed significantly over the last few decades. The preferred medications are inhaled rather than oral. Emphasis is on control of inflammation in the airways and prevention of remodeling.
These are used on an as needed basis to treat asthma symptoms and advised not to be used daily.
These medications are used regularly by themselves or in combination to control asthma symptoms. When taken regularly they prevent asthma attacks, ER visits and hospitalizations.
Immunotherapy is effective for allergy induced asthma. Anti IgE antibodies(Omalizumab) is indicated for severe asthma if it is allergy induced and steroid dependent.
Q: When does asthma typically start?
Asthma can start at any age. Allergy-induced asthma starts in childhood for many. It affects 14-15 million people in the US.
Most people with allergic asthma have a genetic predisposition to having allergies. It is seen in patients who have allergic rhinitis and eczema; however, there are environmental factors which interplay with genetic tendency before asthma symptoms manifest.
Q: Does one outgrow asthma?
Symptoms of many children with asthma improve as they grow older. This is usually because as they grow, their airways grow and therefore the obstruction is less severe compared to when the airways are smaller. Not everyone outgrows asthma and many patients continue to exhibit asthma symptoms in adulthood. | c4 | 5 | 3 | 4 | 2 |
BkiUc6XxaKPQonPpLS4i | If you're planning on buying a new home following the sale of your own, it's vital you organise your finances as soon as possible, whether you're remortgaging or applying for a new mortgage. This is even more important now due to the Mortgage Market Review, during which your lender will conduct a thorough screening process to check you'll be able to afford your mortgage repayments, based on your specific incomings and outgoings.
Organising how much you can borrow early on will give you a better idea of what you can afford to buy next, as well as how much your home will need to sell for, so you can move successfully. If you would like mortgage advice, please ask us and we'll put you in touch with a specialist financial advisor.
In Scotland, it's a legal requirement that you arrange a Home Report before you put your house on the market. This provides information about the condition and value of your property, and is made available on request to potential buyers. It consists of three documents: a Single Survey, an Energy Report and a Property Questionnaire.
We can put you in touch with local surveyors who will carry out your Home Report quickly and conveniently. It's worth remembering the Home Report Survey may reveal certain repairs needed on your property which could affect the price a buyer is willing to pay. If you're concerned about potential issues, it may be worthwhile rectifying these before the next step - marketing.
We'll use many different marketing channels to stimulate interest in your property such as our own website and other online portals like Rightmove, our window display (which benefits from a prime location in Ayr Town Centre), database matching, glossy brochures and advertising. And of course, our eye catching Stonefield 'For Sale' sign board which can play a key role in creating awareness and word of mouth.
Give your property 'kerb appeal' which means make the outside look as good as possible e.g. mow the lawn, clean the windows, move bins out of the way, clear any clutter or touch up chipped paint.
To make the inside of your home as welcoming as possible, clean until it's sparkling, tidy away any clutter and clear out your cupboards - potential buyers may want to look inside to check on storage space!
Fix any niggling DIY jobs that might put buyers off.
If you're thinking of redecorating, use neutral tones so buyers can picture their own furniture in the rooms.
Replace any odours of smoke or pets with flowers or freshly brewed coffee.
We would be delighted to assist with viewings on your behalf. However, if you would prefer to do your own viewings, we'll share our top tips with you and chat through possible questions, so you're well prepared to give a positive response.
We'll handle all negotiations between you and potential buyers. If there's more than one interested party, we'll set a closing date for receiving all offers. As well as the price being offered, your decision to accept a particular offer may be influenced by a buyer's position and how they fit in with your requirements, e.g. if they're first time buyers, in a short chain, or if they can they work to your timescales better than other buyers. Remember, we're acting on your behalf, not the buyer's, so we'll work with you to ensure the best possible outcome for you.
Once negotiations have reached a positive conclusion and you're happy to accept an offer, you'll need to instruct a property solicitor/conveyancer, if you haven't already done so. We can recommend a local conveyancing solicitor if you need one. At this stage, you can also move forward with your own mortgage application if needs be, as you now know how much money you'll make from the sale of your home.
Your solicitor will progress the sale to 'complete missives' which is the contract for sale. From this point, both you and the buyer are legally bound to go through with the transaction. Your completion date will normally be set at this stage too.
7 Time to move out!
On completion day, your money will be transferred and your buyer will move into their new home. There's no denying packing up and moving out can be stressful, but using a removal company can help ease the pressure. Please ask us for our recommended removal companies. We have contacts operating across Ayrshire to help pack, move and unpack your belongings quickly and carefully. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 2 |

In this article, we will go over the basics of betting totals, along with some strategy and links to sport-specific articles which will most probably give you the edge you're looking for.
The total or over/under betting strategy is the oddsmaker's number on the number of points scored in a game by both teams or participants. Totals markets have increased since online gambling exploded in popularity. There are now half-time, quarter totals, 5-inning totals, and team totals in many sports. In our example, we're going to use a traditional totals market for an NFL football game at BetOnline.ag.
The total is listed under the total points column. In this contest, between the Carolina Panthers and Denver Broncos, the total is 43 points. It's important to remember when betting on American sports at U.S.-facing sportsbooks, that the total includes any overtime or extra period.
Using the above example, a bettor can place a wager on the total of both teams to go over the 43 points, or he can place a bet that the total goes under the 43 points. Once the game ends, the total number of points by both teams is added together to determine the total points scored. In the above contest, the total is 43 points. Since there is no half-point in the total, it's possible that the bet may push. If the total number of points lands exactly on 43 points, the bet would be graded a push. Wagers from both sides would be refunded.
However, if the total was 43.5 instead of 43, that eliminates the possibility of a push. A total or over under with a half-point, known in betting jargon as a "hook" will always end with an either 'over' or 'under' victory. Since there are no half-points awarded in sports, there is no possibility of a push. If a contest with a 43.5 total ends with 43 points, 'under' backers would win their wager. If the game is finished with 44 points, 'over' backers would win.
Notice the difference in juice when betting on the over versus the under. Bettors will now have to wager $115 to win $100 on the over. The underdog odds have improved to +105, meaning our $100 wager would return $205, including $105 in profits. Adjusting the juice on totals markets is extremely common in today's betting market. You will almost certainly see it at every online sportsbook these days. It's a way for the oddsmakers to move odds while staying on a particular number.
Totals bets markets have always been a favorite of sharp sports bettors. These elite gamblers figured out a long time ago that it's often easier to predict how a game might go from a scoring perspective instead of trying to pick the winner. The sportsbooks seem to agree with this premise. At just about every sportsbook online, the limits for totals are less than sides and moneylines. For some sports, the difference is huge.
For instance, on NFL opening numbers, BetOnline will only take up to $1,000 on totals, but $5,000 on moneylines. As we head closer to the weekend, they take up to $25,000 on sides Thursday through Sundays, but still just take $15,000 max on totals during these days.
In most other sports, particularly basketball, both college and pro, the betting limits are similar. There are few sportsbooks online that will accept as much on totals as they do on point spreads. As mentioned in our article on point spread betting, many seem to forget that totals markets exist. We're being a bit tongue in cheek, but the reality is that gamblers often are too focused on sides to recognize the value in betting totals.
We know that bookmakers, across the board, accept less money on totals compared to sides. This may lead you to conclude (correctly), that they are much more confident on their odds when it comes to totals compared to sides. If you're one of those that have fallen into the trap of betting a disproportionate amount of sides compared to totals – it's time to wake up. You're missing a lot of value by writing off a market that is proven to be easier to beat compared to point spreads.
Each sport is going to have its intricacies when it comes to betting totals. One thing to consider is that the public does bet the favorite and over more often than the underdog and the under. The squares lose at sports betting, so suffice to say, it's not going to be advantageous to following their betting patterns.
This doesn't mean you should avoid placing bets on the over altogether. In fact, in some spots, the over is the contrarian bet you should be making. Successful bettors are already doing this (some perhaps unintentionally) because that is where the value in betting markets lie. We have advanced strategies for betting totals for both NFL and NCAA football. We also touch on totals in our NBA Betting Strategy article. Our NHL puck line and MLB run line sections also have information on totals in both sports. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 4 | 2 |

Amos 1-3
1 The words of Amos, one of the shepherds of Tekoa(A)—the vision he saw concerning Israel two years before the earthquake,(B) when Uzziah(C) was king of Judah and Jeroboam(D) son of Jehoash[a] was king of Israel.(E)
2 He said:
"The Lord roars(F) from Zion
and thunders(G) from Jerusalem;(H)
the pastures of the shepherds dry up,
and the top of Carmel(I) withers."(J)
Judgment on Israel's Neighbors
3 This is what the Lord says:
"For three sins of Damascus,(K)
even for four, I will not relent.(L)
Because she threshed Gilead
with sledges having iron teeth,
4 I will send fire(M) on the house of Hazael(N)
that will consume the fortresses(O) of Ben-Hadad.(P)
5 I will break down the gate(Q) of Damascus;
I will destroy the king who is in[b] the Valley of Aven[c]
and the one who holds the scepter in Beth Eden.(R)
The people of Aram will go into exile to Kir,(S)"
says the Lord.(T)
"For three sins of Gaza,(U)
even for four, I will not relent.(V)
Because she took captive whole communities
and sold them to Edom,(W)
7 I will send fire on the walls of Gaza
that will consume her fortresses.
8 I will destroy the king[d] of Ashdod(X)
and the one who holds the scepter in Ashkelon.
I will turn my hand(Y) against Ekron,
till the last of the Philistines(Z) are dead,"(AA)
says the Sovereign Lord.(AB)
"For three sins of Tyre,(AC)
even for four, I will not relent.(AD)
Because she sold whole communities of captives to Edom,
disregarding a treaty of brotherhood,(AE)
10 I will send fire on the walls of Tyre
that will consume her fortresses.(AF)"
11 This is what the Lord says:
"For three sins of Edom,(AG)
even for four, I will not relent.
Because he pursued his brother with a sword(AH)
and slaughtered the women of the land,
because his anger raged continually
and his fury flamed unchecked,(AI)
12 I will send fire on Teman(AJ)
that will consume the fortresses of Bozrah.(AK)"
"For three sins of Ammon,(AL)
Because he ripped open the pregnant women(AM) of Gilead
in order to extend his borders,
14 I will set fire to the walls of Rabbah(AN)
that will consume(AO) her fortresses
amid war cries(AP) on the day of battle,
amid violent winds(AQ) on a stormy day.
15 Her king[e] will go into exile,
he and his officials together,(AR)"
says the Lord.(AS)
"For three sins of Moab,(AT)
Because he burned to ashes(AU)
the bones of Edom's king,
2 I will send fire on Moab
that will consume the fortresses of Kerioth.[f](AV)
Moab will go down in great tumult
amid war cries(AW) and the blast of the trumpet.(AX)
3 I will destroy her ruler(AY)
and kill all her officials with him,"(AZ)
says the Lord.(BA)
"For three sins of Judah,(BB)
Because they have rejected the law(BC) of the Lord
and have not kept his decrees,(BD)
because they have been led astray(BE) by false gods,[g](BF)
the gods[h] their ancestors followed,(BG)
5 I will send fire(BH) on Judah
that will consume the fortresses(BI) of Jerusalem.(BJ)"
Judgment on Israel
"For three sins of Israel,
even for four, I will not relent.(BK)
They sell the innocent for silver,
and the needy for a pair of sandals.(BL)
7 They trample on the heads of the poor
as on the dust of the ground
and deny justice to the oppressed.
Father and son use the same girl
and so profane my holy name.(BM)
8 They lie down beside every altar
on garments taken in pledge.(BN)
In the house of their god
they drink wine(BO) taken as fines.(BP)
9 "Yet I destroyed the Amorites(BQ) before them,
though they were tall(BR) as the cedars
and strong as the oaks.(BS)
I destroyed their fruit above
and their roots(BT) below.
10 I brought you up out of Egypt(BU)
and led(BV) you forty years in the wilderness(BW)
to give you the land of the Amorites.(BX)
11 "I also raised up prophets(BY) from among your children
and Nazirites(BZ) from among your youths.
Is this not true, people of Israel?"
12 "But you made the Nazirites drink wine
and commanded the prophets not to prophesy.(CA)
13 "Now then, I will crush you
as a cart crushes when loaded with grain.(CB)
14 The swift will not escape,(CC)
the strong(CD) will not muster their strength,
and the warrior will not save his life.(CE)
15 The archer(CF) will not stand his ground,
the fleet-footed soldier will not get away,
and the horseman(CG) will not save his life.(CH)
16 Even the bravest warriors(CI)
will flee naked on that day,"
Witnesses Summoned Against Israel
3 Hear this word, people of Israel, the word the Lord has spoken against you(CJ)—against the whole family I brought up out of Egypt:(CK)
2 "You only have I chosen(CL)
of all the families of the earth;
therefore I will punish(CM) you
for all your sins.(CN)"
3 Do two walk together
unless they have agreed to do so?
4 Does a lion roar(CO) in the thicket
when it has no prey?(CP)
Does it growl in its den
when it has caught nothing?
5 Does a bird swoop down to a trap on the ground
when no bait(CQ) is there?
Does a trap spring up from the ground
if it has not caught anything?
6 When a trumpet(CR) sounds in a city,
do not the people tremble?
When disaster(CS) comes to a city,
has not the Lord caused it?(CT)
7 Surely the Sovereign Lord does nothing
without revealing his plan(CU)
to his servants the prophets.(CV)
8 The lion(CW) has roared(CX)—
who will not fear?
The Sovereign Lord has spoken—
who can but prophesy?(CY)
9 Proclaim to the fortresses of Ashdod(CZ)
and to the fortresses of Egypt:
"Assemble yourselves on the mountains of Samaria;(DA)
see the great unrest within her
and the oppression among her people."
10 "They do not know how to do right,(DB)" declares the Lord,
"who store up in their fortresses(DC)
what they have plundered(DD) and looted."
11 Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says:
"An enemy will overrun your land,
pull down your strongholds
and plunder your fortresses.(DE)"
"As a shepherd rescues from the lion's(DF) mouth
only two leg bones or a piece of an ear,
so will the Israelites living in Samaria be rescued,
with only the head of a bed
and a piece of fabric[i] from a couch.[j](DG)"
13 "Hear this and testify(DH) against the descendants of Jacob," declares the Lord, the Lord God Almighty.
14 "On the day I punish(DI) Israel for her sins,
I will destroy the altars of Bethel;(DJ)
the horns(DK) of the altar will be cut off
and fall to the ground.
15 I will tear down the winter house(DL)
along with the summer house;(DM)
the houses adorned with ivory(DN) will be destroyed
and the mansions(DO) will be demolished,(DP)"
declares the Lord.(DQ)

Psalm 80[a]
For the director of music. To the tune of "The Lilies of the Covenant." Of Asaph. A psalm.
1 Hear us, Shepherd of Israel,
you who lead Joseph like a flock.(A)
You who sit enthroned between the cherubim,(B)
shine forth 2 before Ephraim, Benjamin and Manasseh.(C)
Awaken(D) your might;
come and save us.(E)
3 Restore(F) us,(G) O God;
make your face shine on us,
that we may be saved.(H)
4 How long,(I) Lord God Almighty,
will your anger smolder(J)
against the prayers of your people?
5 You have fed them with the bread of tears;(K)
you have made them drink tears by the bowlful.(L)
6 You have made us an object of derision[b] to our neighbors,
and our enemies mock us.(M)
7 Restore us, God Almighty;
that we may be saved.(N)
8 You transplanted a vine(O) from Egypt;
you drove out(P) the nations and planted(Q) it.
9 You cleared the ground for it,
and it took root and filled the land.
10 The mountains were covered with its shade,
the mighty cedars with its branches.
11 Its branches reached as far as the Sea,[c]
its shoots as far as the River.[d](R)
12 Why have you broken down its walls(S)
so that all who pass by pick its grapes?
13 Boars from the forest ravage(T) it,
and insects from the fields feed on it.
14 Return to us, God Almighty!
Look down from heaven and see!(U)
Watch over this vine,
15 the root your right hand has planted,
the son[e] you have raised up for yourself.
16 Your vine is cut down, it is burned with fire;(V)
at your rebuke(W) your people perish.
17 Let your hand rest on the man at your right hand,
the son of man(X) you have raised up for yourself.
18 Then we will not turn away from you;
revive(Y) us, and we will call on your name.
19 Restore us, Lord God Almighty;
that we may be saved.

BkiUeyjxK0iCl36cYFOa | Hearthstone Championship Tour — Spring Details
After a winter retreat to the sunny shores of the Bahamas, the Hearthstone Championship Tour (HCT) is headed to another exciting destination for the Spring Championship! We'll have more details to share in the coming weeks, but for now, we're excited to share an update on the Spring season format and Playoffs.
Format Details
For the HCT Spring season, matches will be played in a best-of-five Conquest format with one ban. Additional tournament rules can be found in the Official Rules.
Regional Playoffs will continue to use seven rounds of Swiss play to seed the top eight single-elimination bracket. Players will be eliminated from the Swiss rounds after three losses. The top four players from each region's Playoffs will be invited to the Spring Championship. The Spring Championship will once again feature four dual tournament groups that feed into the single-elimination playoff bracket.
Tavern Hero Changes
New for HCT Spring, Tavern Hero tournaments will run separately from the regional Playoffs as online-only double-elimination tournaments. The top eight players from each Tavern Hero tournament will join the top 64 Hearthstone Competitive Point earners in their respective regional Playoffs. Tavern Hero tournaments are slated to run May 6 for the Americas and Europe and May 13 for Asia-Pacific, with invitations to all eligible players being extended by May 2. Advance decklist submissions are not required for the Tavern Hero tournaments.
The Spring Playoffs for each region will run on the following dates:
Europe – May 20 and 21
Americas – May 27 and 28
Asia-Pacific – June 3 and 4
Good luck to all competitors in the HCT Spring season! | commoncrawl | 5 | 2 | 5 | 1 |

In memory of a man before his time.
Chef Jamie Oliver believes we need a food revolution that will create change on both the individual and government levels. He makes a case for an all-out assault on our ignorance of food and is transforming the way we feed ourselves and our children through education.
To prevent childhood obesity, Dr. Sanders-Butler, the principal of Browns Hill elementary school, banned sugar. Removing sugar from the school resulted in the added benefits of higher test scores and fewer disciplinary problems. Dr. Sanders-Butler is a pioneer who has created a proven solution for other schools to follow.
Dr. Mark Hyman is a leading expert in functional medicine and recognizes that food stimulates the same reward centers of the brain as drugs of abuse. He discusses ways to overcome food addiction by using food as medicine. Food addiction is not about willpower; it's about changing your biology.

BkiUfjnxK6nrxq6DpwjX | Laughlin Constable chief creative Dan Fietsam fired following sexual harassment allegations
By Bennett Bennett-29 May 2018 12:48pm
Dan Fietsam, former chief creative officer of Laughlin Constable, was terminated on Saturday after sexual harassment claims.
Laughlin Constable, a Milwaukee-based independent agency, announced the termination of chief creative officer Dan Fietsam on Sunday (May 27).
Laughlin chief executive Mat Lignel sent an internal email that afternoon, saying: "Laughlin Constable has removed Dan Fietsam from his position as chief creative officer and, as of today, he is no longer am employee of the agency."
Fietsam, a veteran of FCB and Energy BBDO in Chicago, held the top creative post at the agency since 2016. According to an email that Fietsam sent to his employees on Friday, 25 May, an attendee of an event hosted by United Adworkers publicly accused him of sexual harassment.
"Last night, there was a panel event for Milwaukee Adworkers celebrating creative women leaders in advertising," Fietsam, president of the club at that time, said in an internal email to Laughlin employees. "You may have heard at the very end of the event, a member of the audience stood up and publicly made an accusation that I had sexually harassed someone with no reference to time or event specifics."
He added that a similar accusation was made back when he first took the reins as the ad club's president earlier in the year. "These accusations are untrue," he added, claiming that the Milwaukee-based club had reviewed that previous accusation, deemed it unfounded, and took no action.
"I immediately addressed the false accusations before the group and appreciated the support lent by others in attendance," he added in the letter.
However, the next day, Fietsam penned a letter on the United Adworkers site to resign and denounce the claims.
"I am a tenacious man who is used to adversity and overcoming insurmountable obstacles," he said, "but the relentless unsubstantiated innuendo, chatter, and frankly public shaming I and the Club has had to endure not only demoralizes me to lead, but frankly, and more importantly, distracts the club from reaching its potential. I don't like folding to a small group of inordinate social pressure, especially when people who aren't privy to the whole truth."
In Lignel's email to staff, he said the agency had reviewed information brought to them "as quickly as possible" before reaching its decision to terminate Fietsam.
The Drum has reached out to both Laughlin Constable and United Adworkers for additional comment. Mat Lignel has responded, saying: "Based on information brought to our attention late last week, we terminated our chief creative officer's employment as of May 26."
He added: "As this is a personnel matter we are limited in sharing additional information, but the matter was addressed quickly once details were made available and handled in accordance with our personnel policies. Laughlin Constable is committed to a workplace culture filled with creative and committed professionals that places trust and respect for all at the forefront of great work we do for our clients."
Below is Fietsam's resignation letter from the United Adworkers site in full:
In thirty years of advertising, writing this note truly saddens me more than anything I've had to confront.
At the beginning of 2018, I was asked to serve as the President of United Adworkers.
I eagerly accepted this role with excitement and enthusiasm. Getting to work with Gary and Laura and the rest of the UA board to push United Adworkers to the next level was a formable and thrilling brief. I was psyched. While the social aspect of the club was firing on all cylinders, we discussed expanding the creative scope of the club to help Milwaukee creatives hone their craft, develop their network skills and rub elbows with luminaries outside of the community including developing meaningful relationships with the One Show and Art Directors Club and up the caliber of 99 Judges. We couldn't be more energized.
Unfortunately, at this time, I am tendering my resignation as President and as a member of the club, effective immediately.
I am a tenacious man who is used to adversity and overcoming insurmountable obstacles, but the relentless unsubstantiated innuendo, chatter and frankly public shaming I and the Club has had to endure not only demoralizes me to lead, but frankly, and more importantly, distracts the club from reaching its potential. I don't like folding to a small group of inordinate social pressure, especially when people who aren't privy to the whole truth. My singular motive is help elevate UA to next level of excellence but if every event and initiative is constantly and aggressively undermined its counter-productive.
I must commend Laura Gainor for her relentless dedication to making this club as strong as it can be. Frankly, having people attack me and put her into the middle of it is unacceptable and incredibly disrespectful to her. I encourage you to directly reach out to me if I am the source of your frustration and I will meet with you anytime anywhere to discuss any issue you may have. I own everything I do and have no fear to have direct and meaningful conversations versus anonymous, snippy and trolling in social media.
I wish only the best for UA. Gary and Laura are two of the most dedicated people I know and look forward to how the club evolves from here.

BkiUdHjxK0wg0_74-iaH | Cinderella – Chapter Eleven | Just Being Me!
Not really what I have imagined but….
Timothy and John trotted down a well-worn path to the harbor and a small town that had been built there. They were dirty and hot, sweat was pouring down Timothy's back. He had never felt dirtier in his life. He squinted down at the little town before them. A few random people walked about doing their own little thing. Timothy glanced up at the sky but quickly looked away before he was blinded by the sun.
"I think the best thing we can do it get us somewhere to rest for the night, take a bath and then just walk around the town and see what people have to say." Timothy glanced over at John as he talked.
John came galloping down the hill easily catching up with Timothy. Soon they were neck to neck on the short distance to the town.
"We should probably slow down. We don't want to scare the town's folks." John yelled to Timothy over the rushing wind.
"Good idea." Timothy yelled back and he began to rein in his horse slowly.
Timothy and John slowly trotted into the town. John pulled his horse to a stop and swung down off his horse. He grabbed the reins and began looking about him. His eyes rested on an older man in his mid-forties. He strode towards him.
"Hello there!" He called out as he walked over to where the man stood.
The man looked up at him, from the paper he had been holding in his hand. "Hullo! What can I do for you?" The man spoke in a gruff voice but not unkindly.
"My name is John. That is my friend Timothy, over there." John pointed back behind him.
John did as he was told and sprinted across the road to where Timothy stood holding onto the horses reins.
John grinned at Timothy's retreating form. He hurried to catch up with Timothy.
The walk to George's house was not very long, but Timothy and John were already tired from their travel to the small town and the walk seemed endless to them.
Timothy watched his friend and George ramble on about farming and various other things that towns folks did for a living. He soon found his thoughts wandering to other places, to Helen… Timothy jerked his head suddenly. What was he doing thinking about Helen? As far as he was concerned they were just friends nothing more, nothing less. He gulped and shook his head slightly. Out of the corner of his eye he saw a few towns folks giving him curious looks but he ignored him. Just think about the warm bath that you will have soon and the… His thoughts of comfort were suddenly cut off by George's gruff voice.
"And this is my house. It was built by my Granddad, God rest his soul." George said proudly.
John made the appropriate comments and they entered the house.
A tall women with long dark hair flecked with gray stepped into the hall. She flung her arms around her husband with a girly giggle. Then she stepped away from his embrace and looked the boys over. Timothy and John grinned boyishly at her. She grinned back at then, already liking them.
Timothy and John followed her up the stairs and into two nicely furnished bedrooms. Martha leaded Timothy into the first room. She dragged a tub out of the corner and in front of the fire.
"When you go to take a bath lay your clothes in that basket over on that chair," She pointed to a chair by the door. "And you can borrow my boy's clothes until yours are washed." Martha smiled at Timothy then stepped back out into the hall.
"Samantha, I need some water heated up for our guest's bath. If you need help get Bessie's boys to help you." Martha yelled down the hall.
"Yes, Mum." A young women's voice called back up.
Timothy watched his friend John flirt effortlessly with George's daughter Samantha. He smiled to himself as she blushed at something he said. Out of the corner of his eye he saw George and Martha exchange a look, Martha's eyes twinkling with mischief. He mentally chuckled to himself. John had just gotten himself into a spot he might not be ready for. He sighed as he glanced around him. This was true happiness, could it get better than this? | c4 | 4 | 2 | 5 | 1 |

Little T
Small F
Terrance
The team run out of time.
"I got something I need help with - a list of Ballas got to get clapped. You take of the dudes in the order I give you, they ain't going to get wise to it. Any deviation, the thing is blown. It's Big T, Little T, Small F and Terrance. Get to it, you goin' get paid."
―Description
Hit 'Em Up is a mission in Grand Theft Auto Online given to the player by Gerald. It is available from 1-4 players.
Gerald has a list of four members of the Ballas gang that he wants to be killed. He also wants them to be killed in a specific order so the gang doesn't get wise before completion.
Big T is behind the New Do Barber Shop on Mirror Park Boulevard. He is being guarded by many members of the Ballas and Rednecks, although only Big T needs to be killed to advance.
The team now has two real-time minutes to get to the Hydro Plant on Route 13 before Little T leaves. He is the passenger in the front vehicle of two that are driving north. Only Little T needs to be killed to advance.
After killing Little T, the team has two real-time minutes to go to the farm on Baytree Canyon Road. Small F is there, being guarded by members of the Ballas and Rednecks. Only Small F needs to be killed to advance.
After killing Small F, the team has three real-time minutes to get to the Derelict Motel in Sandy Shores. Terrance is there, guarded by members of the Ballas and Rednecks. This time, Terrance and all of the Ballas at the motel need to be killed. Once they are all killed, the mission is completed.
If in a team of four, each person can go to one location, as long as the Ballas members are killed in order.
As the last two members are in Blaine County, the player can take off-road short-cuts to save time.
If the player knows which member to kill in the first three locations, they can kill the member and flee if they don't want to enter a shoot-out with the Ballas.
GTA Online - Mission - Hit 'Em Up Hard Difficulty
This mission was one of eight new contact missions added in The High Life Update along with GTA Today, Denial of Service, Master Data, Crime Scenester, Artificial Scarcity, Handle with Care and On the List.
In what is an error from Rockstar, the newswire post for this mission says it is unlocked at Level 10, but in-game, the mission is unlocked at Level 14.
The name of this mission is a reference to the song Hit 'Em Up by Tupac Shakur, which had a large role in exacerbating the East Coast–West Coast hip hop rivalry.
A rare glitch may occur where all targets will not spawn correctly, resulting in a mission failure.

BkiUdqY4dbghSWQcXoWI | Hey everyone! Today we're taking a look at Ninja Climb Classic by Jeremy Daily at JANJstudios. This is one of those games that will slowly become your "go-to" game when you have a few spare minutes throughout your day. The gameplay is simple enough to get the hang of in a few minutes, however it's going to take much longer to master the ropes! As you jump back and forth between ropes avoiding the ninja stars , your score increases. The whole point of the game is to get a higher score than everyone else. There are powerups to help you along the way, as shown in the video above. The golden shuriken makes you invincible for a short period of time allowing you to get through tough spots with ease. There are 9 unlockable characters, each can be earned through gameplay. The graphics look really good with an old-school retro look with a modern touch. The music and sound effects are great too! This game is very polished and I highly recommend you check it out! | c4 | 4 | 1 | 4 | 1 |

BkiUfUc25V5jZT5RA6Bu | I have never been diagnosed with dyscalculia, but I have almost all of the symptoms. What my eyes see and what I read outloud (concerning numbers) are almost always two different things. I have no sense of direction at all, I can barely keep my left and right straight. I just got my license a couple months ago, so yes it is possible to get it, and it should not stop you. However, it can be really difficult sometimes with finding your way around. I don't know if you have this problem but mine is that I know where I am and I know where I need to go, but I can't connect the two points. I find it extremely hard to figure out what roads are where and how they all connect, so everytime before I leave my garage I sit there and think first "what side of town am I going to?" Then when I figure that out I try as hard as I can to mentally take myself throughout the route I need to go (I can get out of my neighborhood but after that it gets more difficult). Then I just take on the route little by little trying to put little pieces together with the couple of roads that I do know of. And as far as signs go with the exit numbers and whatnot I found it is best to have someone write it down on a piece of paper and just when I become unsure of the number, just try to focus on them and match them with the numbers on the signs. Overall, you may face some challenges such as the ones I described, but it is not enough to stop you from being able to drive. Just keep calm and take it one step at a time. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 2 |

BkiUdto5qWTBLpFf1gb- | It's sad to say, but business professionals are pretty limited in what they can wear. Women have it a little easier with a little wider range of clothing options, but men are usually bogged down with the ole suit and tie. However, that doesn't mean that you can't find a little variation here and there.
The Zip Tie is a fashion accessory that will bring casual to the business setting (in a good way). It's a modern take on a boring piece of clothing, as it zips down the center instead of being tied at the neck. This 100% merino wool tie will have your coworkers doing a double-take. In length, it measures at 28" long, and is 3.75" at its widest point. This is a dry-clean only item, but that probably won't be an issue as your other office attire is likely of the same caliber. Seeing that this is an artistic statement, you shouldn't be too surprised at a higher price tag, pegged in at $65 a pop. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUdXk5qsJBjXav8qDI | Why Eminem Performed "Lose Yourself" at the 2020 Oscars
The rapper surprised everyone at the 92nd annual Academy Awards on Sunday night.
By Christopher Rosen
MARK RALSTON
Oscars 2020 viewers who had a surprise appearance by Eminem on their bingo cards just cashed in: The rapper performed his Oscar-winning song "Lose Yourself" during the 92nd annual Academy Awards, shocking viewers and attendees alike.
After Lin-Manuel Miranda introduced a clip package celebrating the use of pop music in films—with The Breakfast Club, Rocky III, Almost Famous, Hustle & Flow, Ghost, and Do the Right Thing among the featured movies—Eminem, whose real name is Marshall Mathers, rose from the floor to perform his 8 Mile track.
Immediately after the segment, Eminem tweeted footage from the 2003 Oscar ceremony, when "Lose Yourself" won best original song without the rapper in attendance. "Look, if you had another shot, another opportunity... Thanks for having me [Academy]. Sorry it took me 18 years to get here," he wrote—an explanation of sorts for the surprise performance.
He also later posted a photo with Elton John, with whom he famously performed "Stan" at the 2001 Grammys. (John won best original song on Sunday night for his Rocketman track.)
As Vanity Fair noted in our Oscar live blog, the Eminem performance was kept top secret until the moment he appeared on stage; the segment was even left off the run-of-show documents distributed to the crew. (It was noted by the phrase "Omit Item.")
Unsurprisingly, the crowd of stars was left stunned by Eminem's appearance, with Idina Menzel, Gal Gadot, and Anthony Ramos among those shown feeling the beat of the track.
Martin Scorsese, however, was decidedly less enthused.
In an interview posted by Variety on Monday, Eminem said his failure to attend the 2003 Oscars ceremony played a part in his performance. "I kinda figured maybe since I didn't get a chance to do it at the time, maybe it would be cool," he said. "Back then, I never even thought that I had a chance to win, and we had just performed 'Lose Yourself' on the Grammys with the Roots a couple of weeks before the Oscars, so we didn't think it was a good idea. And also, back at that time, the younger me didn't really feel like a show like that would understand me."

BkiUdyTxK6EuNA_gOPea | Want more patients, more sales and see your practice prosper?
Unless you're about to pack it all in and sell, every practice owner wants to see more patients coming in the door, right?
I'm no Einstein but I know the simple answer is marketing. Marketing is like putting gas in your car. When done right, it powers your practice, helps you get booked solid, and helps more patients hear better.
It makes me think of the checklist commercial jet pilots use when getting on a Boeing 707. I've never been in the cockpit of one of these but I'm hoping they are reviewing a detailed list that's 20 pages long.
Is that what you want? A 20 page marketing plan?
Let's see. You've already got a busy schedule seeing patients, working with manufacturers to make sure you have the units you need, and trying to include time in your schedule to have a life.
We can show you how to put everything you need to do in the next 12 months to grow your practice on one piece of paper. That way you'll have a simple recipe, one you can actually use to grow your practice.
But before I sign off here and head out for a round of golf, there is one small favor I'd like to ask you do for yourself.
List your personal and business goals. What do you want to achieve in the next 12 months? That way you can create the perfect one page marketing plan to help you reach your goals.
Amount of time you want to spend at work, amount of time you want to spend exercising, time with your kids or grandkids, or anything else for that matter.
That vacation home you've always wanted, or exotic trip your spouse has been bugging you about, or that silly expensive sports car that would be a blast to have, or that renovated kitchen you'd love, or….
What would you do if you had a magic wand. What would be different in terms of how your practice runs, how many patients you would see, acceptance rates and profits.
Let your imagination run wild and jot down your most audacious goals. It's the only way to reach them.
Want more patients, more sales and see your practice prosper? If you're a member, just ask me about it on our next coaching call. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 4 | 1 |

BkiUdw3xK7Dgs_aSU7Pm | Elite female coaches to benefit from specialised programme for leadership and technical training
Supporting Recommendation 6 of the IOC's Gender Equality Review Project, which seeks to increase the share of female coaches at the Olympic Games, these six International Federations have teamed up with the IOC through Olympic Solidarity to offer a 14-month programme for a limited number of high-performance coaches managed by the Women's Sport Leadership Academy at the University of Hertfordshire, Great Britain.
The initiative began as a discussion between various stakeholders on how to address the consistently low percentage of women coaches at the elite level, and how to create pathways for these coaches, or women wishing to achieve this level as well as involving critical stakeholders at the national and international level to increase sustainability.
The aim is to upskill or reinforce strengths in the candidates and at the same time create a network to help these coaches reach their full potential as elite trainers and to be able to maintain a role at this level. The participants will also be encouraged to work within their national and regional settings in cooperation with their National Olympic Committees and National Federations to help others and raise awareness around females wishing to become elite coaches.
The Women's Sport Leadership Academy for High Performance Coaches (WSLA HPC) has been specially designed and developed for high-performance coaches with the aim of preparing coaches to step up and be part of an increased cohort of female coaches at the Continental, International and Olympic Games.
Our programme has been specifically designed to support women to step up and develop their coaching and leadership skills at an international level. A key element will be building social capital by providing our coaches with senior mentors and access to professional networks.As Olympic sports are part of complex multi-organisational domains and challenging environments, high-performance coaches of Olympic Sports have a broader role to play in their sports than just coaching. The programme will support the selected coaches in developing their negotiation and influencing skills to be able to be advocates for their athletes and teams at the top table of their sports.
Professor Elizabeth Pike, Head of Sport, Health and Exercise
The WSLA HPC programme will bring together a number of outstanding high-performance coaches and provide a unique opportunity and environment for learning that will support female high-performance coaches to further develop their:
* Coaching skills in a high-performance domain
* Leadership behaviours
* Confidence to progress their career path
* Negotiation skills and collaboration within the decision-making processes in their sport
* Influence at the very highest levels of the organisation
* Ability to advocate for themselves, their athletes and for the team of people they represent.
The first session of the pilot project will take place from 3 to 8 November 2019 at the University of Hertfordshire.

I think I enjoyed last night's, even more than the previous JW offerings.
Just wish I had them all on my Humax recorder...
life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans
I enjoyed almost all of it but I really prefer his musicals Proms. I've booked to see him at London's Festival Hall in December (sold out now!) and that is a programme of MGM musicals which suits me fine. Fingers crossed the singers will include Matthew Ford and Kim Criswell and the girl whose name I've forgotten who did the great Ethel Merman take-off last year.
I felt the same Eileen but enjoyed it more on TV than just listening to it on the radio.
Was it Caroline O'Connor who did the Ethel Merman songs? I thought that was his best prom of all and love to listen to it, although I do have it on a DVD that I made from the TV recording.
Helen, I've just looked at Matt Ford's website and he is booked for the Festival Hall concert so that is a huge plus. I think you are right about Caroline O'Connor and they showed a brief clip of her during the Prom interval.
Just looked and he's on the Manchester date as well!
John Wilson is a guest on BBC Radio 3's In Tune today (after 5pm, apparently)
John Wilson was on Steve Wright this afternoon starting 15.43 ish if you want to iPlayer.
His new album At The Movies sounds good from the clips Steve played.
Can't wait to see his new show which forms his tour!
Thanks for that Helen. I booked for his December concert at the Festival Hall after you had alerted me to the tour. A couple of weeks later it was sold out!

Just 2 days until the concert, I'm really looking forward to it!
It will be wonderful Helen and I'm looking forward to my RFH visit.
The concert was excellent and I'm sure you'll enjoy it Eileen.
Lots of tunes I knew but a quite a few that I didn't. Matthew Ford and Anna Jane Casey were both fantastic.
I think they had some sound problems at the start, it was a bit echoey, but it got better as the concert progressed. It was a full house and he could have done a handful of encores rather than just the one.
I believe he is going to be on Radio Wales on Sunday with Beverley Humphries, 9-11pm.
I went to the RFH last night and it was wonderful, Helen. I expect it was the same programme as you heard. Matt Ford and Anna Jane Casey were great - isn't it good to hear ALL the words! I thought she did so well in"You Made Me Love You" which could misfire badly with a lesser actress/singer. Matt was terrific in everything he sang.
I enjoyed the little humorous touches e.g. in "I Got Rhythm" when each section played their piece, they got a round of applause from the rest of the band , and when Matt and trumpeter Mike Lovatt did Bing and Louis in "I Love You, Samantha", Mike waved his big white hanky at the end, Satchmo-style .
All in all, a great evening's entertainment.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it Eileen, I was thinking of you! I thought "I Got Rhythm" was superb as well.
When they played "I Love You Samantha" I thought of David Jacobs as I'm sure you did.
I wonder what they'll come up with for the next one?
He is doing a brand new concert of Cole Porter music next November in the Albert Hall. He flagged it up last night and said that booking was now open. I presume it will tour at some stage but he didn't mention that.
And yes, I thought of David on hearing his signature tune . Must remember the good times!
Oh that sounds interesting, I'll look it up. I suppose he mentioned it as he was in London. Was there a bit of a last night of the tour atmospere? Ours was the 2nd night in, last year it was the last of the tour.
It's difficult to say if there was a "last night of the tour" atmosphere. The packed audience was very responsive and the applause at the end went on for absolutely ages. John Wilson spoke of the tremendous stamina of everyone in the band and they all looked pretty jolly. Perhaps that was their usual demeanour in a live theatre show.
Eileen I'm not sure if you'll be interested but I believe the tickets for the Cole Porter concert at the Royal Albert Hall went on sale on Friday. It was the Albert Hall website but a lot were not available which makes me think they have been given to an agency which is what I found out, a bit too late to get tickets for his 2011 tour.
The concert is on 25 November.

Mumbai weather update: After recording hottest March day this summer, city to receive thundershowers from Friday
India FP Staff Mar 12, 2018 10:11:02 IST
After Mumbai experienced the hottest day in March on Sunday, recording a maximum temperature of 37.8 degrees Celsius, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) has predicted that the city is likely to experience thundershowers from Friday, according to several reports.
"There is a depression over South-West Bay of Bengal, and this will be moving westward and entering the Arabian Sea. This will bring moisture to the state," The Indian Express quoted Ajay Kumar, scientist at IMD, as saying.
According to IMD, rainfall is expected only in the south Konkan region on Friday, followed by two days of isolated rainfall in most parts of Maharashtra.

Skymet, a private weather news portal, also reported predictions of rainfall in Mumbai over the weekend.
"A confluence zone is expected to form in the proximity of the coastline. In the light wind field condition, a feeble trough is also likely to form along the Konkan and Maharashtra region. Thus, some clouding is possible from 15 March followed by light rainfall activity. These rains may even spill into 16 and 17 March," its report stated.
On Sunday, however, Mumbaikars experienced sweltering heat as the maximum temperature rose by almost 4.7 degree Celsius from the previous day, prompting IMD to declare it as the hottest day in March this summer, according to DNA.
"The reason for the heat was the low-level circulation over the Arabian Sea near south Gujarat, which brought the North Easterly winds to the coast causing the temperatures to rise," the report quoted an IMD official, adding that Sunday's temperature was 6 degrees Celsius above normal.
The report added that temperatures in March are known to touch 40 degrees Celsius. In 2017, the highest maximum recorded temperature in March was 38.4 degrees Celsius while in 2016 it was 38.2 degrees Celsius.
A Hindustan Times report stated that hot conditions are likely to prevail throughout the month in Mumbai with minor fluctuations. "This is the seasonal weather condition for March where we will witness temperatures mostly on the rise, and much above normal levels. However, sporadic fluctuations cannot be ruled out," the report quoted KS Hosalikar, deputy director-general of the western region, IMD, as saying.
The humidity levels on Sunday also remained low, leading to hot but dry conditions. The humidity level during the day on Sunday was 85 percent at Colaba and 77 percent at Santacruz, but by evening, these levels dropped to 65 percent at Colaba and just 15 percent at Santacruz, the report said.

BkiUdOU5qsBDCrvnNzPK | was de 99e keizer van Japan, volgens de traditionele opvolgvolgorde. Hij regeerde van 1383 tot 21 oktober 1392. Go-Kameyama was de laatste keizer van het zuidelijke hof.
Genealogie
Go- Kameyama was vernoemd naar de voormalige keizer Kameyama. Het voorvoegsel go- (後), kan worden vertaald als "later" of "tweede", waardoor zijn naam vrij vertaald "Kameyama de tweede" betekent. Zijn persoonlijke naam (imina) was . Hij was de tweede zoon van keizer Go-Murakami. Zijn moeder was Fujiwara Katsuko.
Leven
Go-Kameyama werd in 1383 keizer na het aftreden van zijn broer Chokei. De rivaliteit tussen het Noordelijke en Zuidelijke hof was op dat moment nog in volle gang.
Op 15 oktober 1392 wendde Go-Kameyama zich tot Ashikaga Yoshimitsu in de hoop een einde te kunnen maken aan de strijd tussen de twee hoven. Op zijn aandringen keerde Go-Kameyama terug naar de hoofdstad, en droeg de keizerlijke schatten die hij in zijn bezit had over aan de toenmalige troonpretendent van het Noordelijke hof; Go-Komatsu. Kort daarna trad hij af en werden beide hoven weer samengevoegd.
Go-Kameyama zag nog wel toe op het opstellen van een vredesverdrag tussen beide hoven, waarin werd geregeld dat beide hoven om beurten een keizer mochten aanwijzen. Dit verdrag werd in 1412 echter alweer verworpen door het Noordelijke hof.
Perioden
Zowel het Noordelijke als Zuidelijke hof hanteerden hun eigen tijdregistratie met het toekennen van namen aan bepaalde perioden. Derhalve valt Chōkeis regeerperiode afhankelijk van naar welke maatstaven wordt gemeten binnen andere tijdsperioden:

It is believed that lord Vishnu in his avatar as the wild boar - Varaha - went deep into the earth searching for the feet of Shiva. Finally, not finding it, he gave up and returned at this place and meditated on Shiva. There was a pit (now closed) outside the sanctum which is believed to have been made by Vishnu while coming out and hence the name Hari-dwara-mangalam.

BkiUdL85qhLACAkxAsxU | Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex looks up at the scoreboard moments after her friend Serena Williams lost in the women's singles final at the US Open today to Canadian Bianca Andreescu (Alamy)
By Brian Cathcart
THE OWNERS of the Mail on Sunday have finally capitulated in the privacy and breach of copyright case brought by the Duchess of Sussex, abandoning any idea of a further appeal and agreeing to pay an undisclosed sum in settlement.
Following an order issued by the Court of Appeal which (among other things) required the publication of the front-page admission of defeat that appeared in the newspaper on Sunday, all that remains to be settled is the amount to be paid to the Duchess to reimburse her for her legal costs.
This brings to an end a legal process triggered nearly three years ago when the Mail on Sunday published large extracts from a personal letter she had written to her father. She sued and won in the High Court, prompting the Mail to appeal, and that appeal was dismissed earlier this month.
The newspaper company complained bitterly about its repeated humiliations in the courts and hinted it might appeal yet again to the Supreme Court, but we now know that it has thrown in the towel.
The order issued by the Court of Appeal on 14 December states that the Mail's owners, Associated Newspapers, will pay the Duchess an undisclosed sum in settlement of her vindicated claim for breach of copyright. It will also pay her nominal damages of £1 for breach of privacy.
Associated will also shoulder most of the Duchess's legal costs in the case, a sum still to be determined but likely to exceed £1.5 million. It was ordered to make a payment on account of £300,000 in addition to a payment already made of £450,000.
While the amount of the damages remains unknown and the costs, coming on top of the Mail's own legal bills, are very high, the simple truth is that no sum of money will make much of a dent in finances of an organisation ultimately owned by the billionaire Lord Rothermere.
The price the Mail pays is in public humiliation, a humiliation completed at the weekend with the forced publication of that front-page statement and a supplementary statement on page 3, both confirming the Duchess's victory in terms laid down by the courts.
It was characteristic of the paper that it made no editorial comment on these statements and has yet to apologise to the Duchess.
Now it is over, the case of the Duchess of Sussex v Associated Newspapers Limited must stand as a monument to the newspaper group's extraordinary capacity to deny reality.
Most students of law or journalism could have told the editor of the Mail on Sunday that, in publishing large parts of an obviously personal letter from a daughter to her father, he was breaching her rights in ways he could not hope to justify. He too must have known this, and the only viable explanation for his action is that he assumed she would not sue.
He assumed wrongly. She not only sued but really went for the paper – a paper that had lied about her and smeared her for years. And Associated, again blind to reality, decided to fight the case.
It had no chance of victory, so instead it created a fantasy narrative which was relentlessly peddled through the Mail on Sunday and its sister publications the Daily Mail and Mail Online, a narrative friendly papers were only too happy to repeat.
In this false narrative the Duchess's credibility was the issue and every development was reported through that prism. In the real world, however, judges in the High Court and the Court of Appeal made very short work (by English legal standards) of Associated's inevitably feeble attempts to justify what it had done.
And now we have the outcome: the Duchess vindicated – even on the front page of the Mail on Sunday – and the newspaper group probably out of pocket to the tune of a couple of million pounds.
They still hate her. No doubt they hate her even more than before. But they have been exposed to the world for the lawless, lying bullies they are, and even allowing for Lord Rothermere's vast wealth they will certainly hesitate before breaching her rights again.

The ITK software project was initiated in 1999 by the United States National Library of Medicine (NLM) to address the pressing need for a robust multi-dimensional and multiple modality image analysis platform. In 2010, NLM and collaborators refactored ITK such that its capabilities and software foundation would be sustainable for the next 10 years. This effort led to ITKv4 which is currently in its 4.3 release.
The primary goal of this proposal is to highlight and detail ITKv4's segmentation and registration methodology and its application to a variety of neuroinformatics problems. By using ITKv4 as a core platform and disseminating the analysis pipelines, the papers selected by this proposal will promote reproducible practices and act as a guide for other researchers who wish to use ITKv4 in their own research.
Papers will be selected from a broad range of neuroinformatics research areas. Applications will include basic methodology in addition to modeling cellular level growth, large-scale atrophy in neurodegeneration, physiological motion and surgical simulation. These selections will illustrate how open-source software may be used to improve the quality of patient care, help illuminate fundamental biological processes or reveal high-level relationships between brain and behavior.
• Describe and motivate the targeted application area.
• Detail the theoretical and/or software framework that will address the application area.
• Establish a well-defined evaluation goal.
• Provide access to a public reference dataset. A subset of results should be based on this dataset.
• Share software that is applicable to the reference dataset and which ad- dresses the evaluation/research goal.
• Summarize the unique contributions of the work.
Submissions are encouraged from both software developers and scientists who use ITK or ITK-derived software in their research. | c4 | 5 | 4 | 5 | 3 |
BkiUbQXxaKgS2EKBglB9 | Q: localStorage is not saving values of similar names My localStorage is only saving a few variables (3) of similar names, and then proceeding to override the last variable with the new value.
What I am trying to do is add variables into localStorage that have a name and a number attached to them such as Test1, Test2, Test3, etc.
The only issue is that after the third element, in this case Test3, the key gets overridden to Test4 and the value changes to the new value. This happens forever as long as the word Test is the same.
I can add other values just fine, but only up to 3 of the same root word.
This is the code I am using to add the elements:
const AddToLocalStorage = (type, contents) => {
let ind = 0;
Object.keys(localStorage).forEach(function (key) {
if (key == (type + ind)) {
ind++;
} else {
return;
}
});
localStorage.setItem((type + ind), JSON.stringify(contents));
}
type is a string such as Test
contents is the value stored
Thanks in advance :)
Edit - Can you clarify how to call the AddToLocalStorage function
AddToLocalStorage("Test", "value");
In localStorage this would set like { "Test0", "value" }
A: First of all, JavaScript Object Property order isn't guaranteed, therefore you're probably not receiving the keys in the same order as your browser shows them
That said, lets add some console.log's to debug the code:
const AddToLocalStorage = (type, contents) => {
let ind = 0;
console.log('Existing keys', Object.keys(localStorage));
Object.keys(localStorage).forEach(function (key) {
if (key == (type + ind)) {
ind++;
} else {
return;
}
});
console.log('Set', (type + ind))
localStorage.setItem((type + ind), JSON.stringify(contents));
}
AddToLocalStorage("Test", "value1");
On the second run, this logs:
Existing keys (3) ["Test2", "Test0", "Test1"]
Set Test2
Here we can see that (type + ind) will be Test2, because (key == (type + ind)) will be true for Test1 and Test2.
Since Test2 already exists, you'll override the existing value.

BkiUblvxaKgS2MHUle5t | Fresh evidence shows high energy prices and sagging home values are pinching the main driver of the U.S. economy: Average Joe's wallet.
Retailers and economists say many Americans are waiting to buy big-ticket items and cutting back on frills.
Homeowners are shelving plans to remodel kitchens. Families are dining out less and tightening their budgets.
OK, look. There are a huge number of interest-ony and adjustable rate mortgages out there. The negative effects of most of these do not hit until next year, when people's monthly payments will suddenly go way up – forcing many to sell. So this thing hasn't even started yet. Combine this with the number of people who bought for speculation and never had any intention of holding on to the property for very long. Then combine those factors with the higher fuel costs that are straining everyone's budgets. And finally add in the federal government's massive borrowing that is pushing up interest rates AND rising inflation rising which also puts pressure on interest rates. This has all the makings of something much worse than a recession.

BkiUbjPxK0zjCxh71wRn | The Dirty Dozen, with Nicolas Billon
Submitted by Grace on September 29, 2014 - 11:14am
By Grace
September 28, 2014 - We are very proud to present Governor General's Literary Award winner for Drama, Nicolas Billon, as our October 2014 writer-in-residence at Open Book: Toronto.
Known for his dark humour and pitch-perfect dialogue, Nicolas returns this season with a new play, Butcher, published by Coach House Books and premiering at Alberta Theatre Projects.
Considered one of Canada's finest young playwrights, Nicolas famously donated $5,000 from his $25,000 Governor General's Award winnings to The Theatre Centre in Toronto, which helped the prestigious organisation complete its move to a permanent home.
Given his creativity, it was no surprise that when Nicolas took on our Dirty Dozen series (where authors and artists are invited to share 12 unexpected facts about themselves), the results were wonderfully weird, fascinating and funny. Read on to hear about mustard, a tiny and beloved book collection and Nicolas' alternate calling as a software designer.
When writing, I usually listen to dance music. And yes, I like the stuff.
Heights make me feel queasy, though I have no issues flying.
I love mustard. A lot.
I enjoy team sports and I'm competitive. I play hockey and softball regularly, along with dodgeball and ultimate.
I own about 25 books; basically, only my favourite works. As you can imagine, my library card gets a regular workout.
I wrote software in high school, including a periodic table of the elements called "HyperElements". It was released as shareware and was chosen as one of the top 30 shareware programs of 1995 by MacUser magazine. It was subsequently used in chemistry departments at several universities around the world.
I love the ocean and scuba diving. I've seen three sharks while diving, and snorkeled with a whale shark.
When it comes to writing, my touchstones are George Orwell and Albert Camus.
Strawberries? No thanks.
I know the words to pretty much every song on The White Room, the KLF's 1991 album.
I gather and track my time so that I can breakdown my usage and efficiency. I'm often shocked at how much time email takes out of a day.
"Eclectic" is my favourite word in the English language.
Nicolas Billon's work has been produced in Toronto, Stratford, New York and Paris. His triptych Fault Lines won the 2013 Governor-General's Literary Award for Drama. He recently adapted his first play, The Elephant Song, into a feature film starring Bruce Greenwood, Xavier Dolan, Carrie-Anne Moss and Catherine Keener. His newest play is Butcher, which is published by Coach House Books and premieres at Alberta Theatre Projects in October 2014. You can visit him online at http://www.nicolasbillon.com.

BkiUbQHxK6EuNBRhGZUT | A new canine training group in Wick, Littlehampton, is offering a different way to teach old and young dogs new tricks.
Specially designed three-minute games are taught by Heather Sanderson at Arun Dog Training, for everything from loose-lead walking to retrieving.
Heather, who is from Wick, used this method when training her dog, Bella, and she said the games are scientifically proven to mean quicker learning for your pet than normal repetition.
After deciding she wanted to share this with other people, Heather trained to become a certified professional dog trainer.
One of her tutors, Lauren Langman, came second in agility at Crufts last month, with her working cocker, Blink, who is also trained with three-minute games.
The first Superdogs group has been meeting on Saturday mornings, with a mixture of ages and sizes of dogs taking part.
All Superdogs clients are able to meet Heather before the classes begin for a one-to-one session to discuss any particular struggles they have.
Bella was a rescue dog, and Heather said you should not limit your expectations of how well you can retrain your dog with this method. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUa8c25V5ha7jY7eA4 | Two Special Support Dogs Help Vietnam Veterans Heal From PTSD, Even 50 Years After The War
By Matthew Russell
Veterans Larry Keating and Bill Thumm were soldiers during one of the most harrowing wars in American history. When they fought in Vietnam, Keating was just 19 years old. Thumm was 21.
There is no question, lives were changed forever in Southeastern Asia. They were changed physically by the brutality of combat, and still today carry the invisible mental scars of that war. Sadly, it was years before either considered getting help for those wounds.
"I had a drug problem, I had an alcohol problem. I had PTSD, none of which was treated," Keating told an NBC affiliate.

Paws of War supplies veterans with support dogs.
More recently, Keating and Thumm were connected with Paws of War, a charity based in Long Island, New York, that trains and places shelter dogs to serve and provide independence U.S. military veterans that suffer from the emotional effects of war. The organization paired the veterans with two service dogs: 4-month-old Labrador Lydia and 3-year-old Midnight.

"It hope it will restore my confidence, which I think my grandchildren need to see," Thumm said.
Paws of War has helped dozens of veterans regain their independence.
Paws of War has helped many other veterans win back their independence from PTSD and debilitating circumstances.

BkiUaM7xK0iCl36cUlSB | If you are an archery hunter or planning to become one, then you should know the importance of having archery sights. The sight on the bow will either make or break your hunting experience. When you want to take that clean shot and make it count which is the main purpose of your hunting, then the sights matter.
Using a bow sight that comes with good quality is vital for success. In this article, we will read about some of the important things which you should look for when purchasing an archery sight. There are three main things which matter a lot when hunting, which are accuracy, durability, and the ease of use.
The bow sight has to shoot accurately to help you hit the target. Otherwise it is of no use. Depending on the distance you plan to shoot, you need to make use of the sight. This is when you can consider making use of adjustable or sliding sights. Good sights come with very high adjustability.
When you are able to adjust the sights, you can hit the target without many problems.
The material of the bow sight is also vital for your hunting cause. Unless you are making use of a quality material, it is not going to last you and sometimes during shots, it will fail you. When you are making use of a bow sight with bright fiber optics, then the pins will not break and bend. The breaking and bending problems happen often in poor quality sights.
Hence you will avoid making use of low quality materials which can become damaged easily.
The hunting equipments you use should be easy and simple to handle. Archers sort of find it extremely difficult to make use of tools which are light and safe. That way hunting becomes easier as the weight of the equipment do not wear you down when taking aim. It is not surprising one bit to notice that experienced archers making use of Allen wrench tools that enable them to adjust the set up.
When they are sighted properly, you can effortlessly take aim and shoot. The chances of your hitting the target with the help of this tool give you an advantage. Go for a light weight tool.
Whether you are a professional or amateur hunter, you will want to know that the archery sights for hunting are crucial and the end results depend a lot on it. Only when you are able to choose the right kind of sight which suits your action and skill, you know that you can succeed or at least hit few targets.
When you want to ensure that your sights are good then always see to that you have the ease of use, accuracy, and durability. Hence choosing your bow sights wisely enables you to perform and exhibit your talents on and off the range. You can also immensely improve on your hitting percentage, which is the first reason you need sights.

About Garnier >
Environmental and Social Labelling, to help our consumers make more sustainable choices.
At Garnier, we're committed to increasing transparency on our products.
INTRODUCING THE PRODUCT IMPACT LABELLING SYSTEM
Garnier is committed to improving the environmental and social profile of our products and empower consumers with the information they need to make more sustainable choices, as part of our Green beauty initiative. That's why we've developed a new labelling system that provides full and transparent on the environmental and social impact of our products, in a clear and comparative way.
Now available on Garnier's haircare products (shampoos, conditioners, hair masks/leave-in products and oils) and skincare products (face make-up removers, face wash, micellar waters and creams)!
Read on to find out more about it...
A CLEAR SCORE
The "Overall Environmental Impact" is the accumulative score of all the factors that can be attributed to the environmental impact of a product throughout its life cycle and presents it in a clear way for consumers to understand. The scoring system includes for example assessments during the production of ingredients, the production of packaging, the manufacture of the product, its use (including quantity of hot water used during shower or face cleansing and formula biodegradability) and the waste management of packaging.
The labelling gives each product a score, from A to E, with products labelled 'A' considered best in class in terms of impact. B's as our best works in progress (such as commiting to 100% recycled plastic by 2025). Thousands of L'Oréal group products representative of the variety of products on the market were analyzed to create the boundaries and the score considers 14 environmental factors from sourcing, manufacture, transportation, usage and recyclability.
MEASURING IMPACT ACROSS THE PRODUCT LIFE CYCLE
For cosmetics, the carbon footprint and the water footprint are the two main factors of impact when it comes to assessing a product's Environmental Impact. These factors represent two thirds, on average, of the overall impact of cosmetics products.
Additional information is available in the 'Environmental and Social Impact' section of a product's description, where you can find details of the manufacturing conditions, the packaging and the social contribution of a product. We also look at whether the raw materials have been sustainably and solidarity sourced.
SO YOU CAN EASILY COMPARE PRODUCTS
Each product is ranked in comparison to other products in the same category so that they can easily be compared.
DISCOVER THE SCORES
EASILY ACCESSIBLE ON OUR PRODUCT INFORMATION WEBPAGES
You can find the Product Impact Label of all Garnier haircare products (shampoo, conditioner, hair masks/leave-in products and oils) and skincare products (face make-up removers, face wash, micellar waters and creams) on the product information webpage, after the ingredient list.
Can't decide between two products? Use the Environmental and Social Labelling to help you decide!
VERIFIED BY EXPERTS
This environmental and social labelling methodology was developed with the help of 11 independent scientific experts and is aligned with the European "Environmental Product Footprint" standards that aim to reduce the environmental impact of goods and services with a multi-criteria approach. The PIL data is also verified by Bureau Veritas Certification, an independent auditor worldwide recognized.
